In the Dongyue Royal Palace.
Yibai and the Dongyue Emperor inquired about what exactly this "major event" was.
"The so-called major event is unrelated to me but pertains to the Northern State."
The Dongyue Emperor ascended to his seat and spoke softly.
"Northern State? Does my master need me to do something in the Northern State?"
Yibai, holding the Fa Sword, asked.
"Do you know what is currently happening in the Northern State?"
The Dongyue Emperor asked.
"I do not know, I do not know! I only know that the Protector Saint True Monarch is eliminating demons in the Northern State."
Yibai expressed what he knew.
Before he set off westward, he had heard that the world contained nine states, comprising the four states of East, West, South, and North, as well as the Southern and Northern Poles, the three islands of Penglai, Fangzhang, and Dongying, all referred to as the 'nine states'.
