Synopsis

The chapter analyzes the Sword Graveyard, interpreting it not as a test by the Medicine Immortal but as a representation of the martial arts journey, from initial training to confronting inner demons and the potential 'deity ascension.' It argues that the Medicine Immortal believed martial arts to be inherently evil, but the chapter also highlights the resilience of those who have lost their way, suggesting that even when goals collapse, there is always a path forward, which is discovered by looking down to those who still strive to live. The chapter emphasizes the importance of looking beyond martial arts and focusing on what is truly important - life itself.
