As night fell, Chen Qing said, "Let’s head north. About fifty miles that way, there’s a Sword Hut."
Leading the way, Chen Qing used the Wind’s Breath to avoid the dangerous beasts and Sword Ghosts, and the three of them traveled swiftly along the treetops.
To avoid danger, they wasted quite a bit of time, but they still managed to reach the Sword Hut within two hours.
This Sword Hut was situated beneath a small waterfall, flanked by dense forest, nestled among towering ancient trees.
Chen Qing strode forward and turned back to say, "Wait here. I’ll hunt a beast and lure that youth out."
Walking through the dense forest, Chen Qing hunted a leopard and buried it in the ground. In no time, the youth emerged from hiding, still covered in blood.
When he saw that it was Chen Qing, the murderous intent in his eyes immediately disappeared.
Chen Qing stood up and said, "Over here."
Just as Chen Qing was about to move again, the youth asked in confusion, "Why are you helping me? It’s somewhat against common sense."
Chen Qing retorted, "Do you have a way to tell if I’m an Abnormal?"
The youth thought for a moment, "Possibly, but I can’t confirm it yet. Once I can, I’ll let you know."
"The Sword Hut here might have been left by people with the same constitution as me."
"They treat previous Sword Huts as their past selves."
"But I can confirm I’m not them, just sharing the same constitution."
"I have this strange feeling... that I belong here, like I’m a part of it."

He looked seriously at Chen Qing, "Are you suspecting that you’re an Abnormal too?"
Chen Qing nodded, "Yes, my situation is a bit complicated, and I’m not sure."
The youth relaxed completely, realizing why Chen Qing wanted to help him—it was possible Chen Qing was also an Abnormal.
An Abnormal like him.
Chen Qing led the way forward, and as the pair approached the Sword Hut, the youth pushed open the door with bloodstained hands, and Chen Qing followed him inside.
The Sword Hut was not large, merely a simple one-room dwelling. It was clear the resident cared little for living conditions, instead trapped by a peculiar obsession, seeking answers.
This time, unlike before when words were on the desk, the walls were covered in writings etched with sword marks.
"Who am I really?"
"This world is deceiving me!"
"No. I belong here, so why would it deceive me?"
"If sword Gu is created by the Spirit Sword, and the Spirit Sword by the King Sword, where does the King Sword originate?"
"Maybe I should pursue the path of the Ancient Cultivator. That’s the path I should seek!"
"Heavenly Fire exists, thus Fire Gu; great rivers exist, thus River Gu; great mountains exist, thus Mountain Gu. But where did the sword come from?"
"From where did the first sword come?"
"Heaven and earth would produce all living beings, but can’t naturally create swords. Swords are crafted by humans!"
"Sword Dao came after everything else—it isn’t part of the grand way, so why did sword Gu emerge?"
The walls, filled with distrust of the world and a quest for understanding Sword Dao, reflected this resident’s indifference to his abode.
Chen Qing was intrigued by what this so-called Ancient Cultivator’s path truly entailed.
After reading, the youth left. As they searched through the Sword Hut, they found two sleeping sword Gu.
Nie Fei chuckled and pocketed them, "Old rule, the items that don’t take up space are mine first!"
"If we find bigger stuff, it’s yours."
After thoroughly searching, the three were on the road again; Nie Fei was filled with treasure-seeking excitement, Xuanping pondered the relationship between Foundation Establishment and Abnormals.
Chen Qing, meanwhile, had taken an interest in the path of the Ancient Cultivator.
None knew whether generations of seekers had discovered the Ancient Cultivator’s methods.
The secrets of this island were even greater than Chen Qing had imagined.
What he thought were treasures or powerful scripts had resulted instead in a hidden truth about the Dao.
Generations of people visiting the immortal island had sought to understand the connection between the grand way and heaven and earth.
He hoped they could uncover more, so he too might gain insights.
That day, they hid among three large trees to avoid daylight, then set out again at night.
During the day, Chen Qing hadn’t heard signs of a Sword Hut, so they relied on footwork to search.
After two hours, they found another sword Gu, which Nie Fei pocketed. "I have to say, this place sure has a lot of sword Gu."
"I wonder when we’ll find a Spirit Sword Gu."
Chen Qing said, "Spirit Sword Gu are quite noisy and easy to spot."
Xuanping remarked, "Not necessarily. If they’re asleep, they make no sound."
Chen Qing asked, "Are sleeping Spirit Sword Gu easy to subdue?"
Xuanping replied, "Depends. Some Gu awaken with Divine Power!"
"Also, this is an immortal island. Spirit Sword Gu may not appear as sword Gu, but perhaps as Sword Butterflies!"
The power of a wild spiritual Sword Butterfly was indeed unmatched!
After just a few steps, Chen Qing heard a crisp sound. He turned to see sprouts emerging from a withered old tree.
