Outside the Southern Celestial Gate.
Yibai faced a siege by a group of old demons and the Mountain Lord of the Northern State. The situation teetered on the edge of peril. Even with his ability to manifest three heads and six arms, he was unable to turn the tide of battle, and he was at constant risk of being slain.
Truly, the Mountain Lord of the Northern State was fearsome, and the demons were valiant; he stood alone against overwhelming odds.
The thousands of Celestial Soldiers guarding the gate saw that Yibai couldn't hold out on his own and wished to help, but an onslaught of countless demons made it impossible for them to render aid.
The situation at the Southern Celestial Gate became increasingly dire.
A defeat seemed imminent.
Realizing that the situation was turning against him, Yibai conceived a plan within his heart. Without reinforcements, and if he did not use magic to resolve the situation, a definitive loss was feared.
