[Mingjue thinks he must mean the slashes and stab wounds. He opens his eyes to look straight ahead of him. For a moment he's only silent, lost in his own thoughts.]

The sword that stabbed me and slashed me was carried by a creature of nightmare last month. I do not know what created the scar around my neck. So there is no way to destroy that weapon. The rest...

[He lifts an arm and glances at it.]

This was created by what we know as qi deviation. It lacked balance and destroyed my body. This happened due to my inability to keep control of my dao. It was my own weakness that destroyed me.
