Yuan Qü didn't ride on his sword to descend the peak; he walked all the way to the bottom of Yunxing Peak.
This new sword didn't have a name yet. He intended to ask his Master or the Sect Master to name it.
It would be easier to communicate with the sword when it had a name, making the integration of the sword and the swordsman more feasible. It might backfire if he tried to rush things.
When Yuan Qü arrived at the foot of Yunxing Peak, some Green Mountain peers and a few elders who had heard of the news approached and congratulated him; they seemed rather enthusiastic and wholehearted.
Jing Jiu didn't, according to the usual rules, move to Tianguang Peak, but chose to stay on Shenmo Peak. As a result, the people and monkeys on Shenmo Peak were more respected.
