"Master, please answer the passphrase," that timid voice said again.
Ying Wu Xie spoke, "Heaven transforms through nine layers."
The voice continued, "Earth divides into five regions."
Ying Wu Xie added, "A thousand autumns, ten thousand undertakings."
The voice continued, "Will rules all living beings!"
