Celestial Court, beside the Western Celestial Gate.
Golden light rolled, auspicious colors in a thousand strands, within a pavilion, the scent of jade lingered, and the auspicious clouds were splendid.
Yibai was led here by a Heavenly General.
"Please, Prime Star, step inside. The Monk is awaiting you,"
said the Heavenly General with a cupped-hand salute.
"Thank you for your trouble, Heavenly General,"
spoke Yibai very politely.
The Heavenly General busily claimed not to dare and then left with a dozen Clerk Soldiers, returning to the Western Celestial Gate to keep watch.
Yibai, however, walked into the pavilion alone.
As he stepped inside, he saw all manner of treasures within the pavilion, an enchanting array, with a deep, striking fragrance assaulting his nostrils.
This kind of fragrance...
Yibai could not describe it.
But the smell made him feel relaxed and delighted.
