Screech...
A sorrowful bird cry
echoed through the Three Realms.
The Southern Brightness Volcano, one of the four extremes of heaven and earth, suddenly erupted.
Endless waves of fire rolled as a giant fiery red bird soared into the sky, carrying boundless baleful aura.
Suddenly,
a few invisible chains appeared on the dome of the sky, binding the giant bird tightly.
Then a few more chains appeared on the ground, restraining the giant bird's body.
Slowly dragging it back into the mountain body once again.
In the West,
a man sitting cross-legged on a stone platform suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze looking toward the extreme south.
His pupils emitted a captivating divine light, and his green robes fluttered without any wind.
With a dazed gaze, he muttered to himself, "That idiot!"
"He actually died..."
Then he shook his head again and said, "I told him to cultivate with peace of mind and stop creating karmic debt everywhere, but he never listened."
"My Phoenix Clan is already plagued by karmic debt, yet that fool kept eating people."
"With great difficulty, I managed to secure a quota for him."
"Letting him set up roadblocks on the journey to the West to serve as a heavenly tribulation, so he could safely get through his mortal tribulation."
"Unexpectedly..."
"Such is the time!"
"Such is fate..."
The man closed his eyes once again, looking like a mud or wooden sculpture.
Heavenly Court!
Jade Pool Palace.
"What a bunch of reckless things."
"They actually dared to insult..."
"Chang'e did well."
"Hmph! What do you mean she did well? She killed them directly, that's letting them off way too easily."
"Mm! That's right! They should be thrown into the eighteenth layer of hell to endure cruel torture for one hundred thousand years."
