One day, news reached the Seung Dojo that Hwang was returning from his long journey. Yunsung saw his opportunity to force Hwang to acknowledge his fighting skills. He may even prove to be actually stronger than Hwang!

Hwang, however, did not take Yunsung's challenge, for he had other priorities such as rejoining the military to help defend his country from the impending invasion by Japan.

Seung Mina, the master's daughter, saw the brooding young man and handed him a single-handed sword. The weapon she handed to Yunsung was a Seung family heirloom. According to legend, it possessed the ability to reflect the deepest thoughts of those who held the blade.

That night Yunsung studied the image of himself in the sword and reflected. He eventually understood the foolishness of challenging someone for personal reasons when the country was in such peril. But what could Yunsung do to make Hwang acknowledge him? He then realized that if he could obtain the sword of Salvation that Hwang had failed to find, Hwang would be forced to recognize Yunsung's talents and respect him. A challenge against Hwang would have to wait.

Once Yunsung made this decision, he could not stay put for long. He immediately packed his belongings and left the dojo.

The beautiful white walls of the villa and the abundant nature that can be seen across the river from the garden make visitors feel as though time is standing still.

Talim came to this place soon after the start of her journey. Yunsung passed through this place on his way to India only a few days before she arrived. Autthaya is the place Talim first came to learn that there were others searching for the evil sword.
