Feng Wu's startled voice suddenly rang out. "When ordinary demons attain Great Sagehood, they merely carve a single star mark within their demon bodies. Why did I invoke the Big Dipper to carve itself all at once?"
With Feng Wu's cry, Xiao Hua immediately understood. The Great Sage star marks his phoenix body was to attain were the Big Dipper. For ordinary demons, they only needed to gain the recognition of one among the seven stars—Dubhe, Merak, Phecda, Megrez, Alioth, Mizar, and Alkaid—to achieve the Great Sage position.
