The Celestial Court decreed the Buddhist Sect to autonomously govern Xizhou, and also ordered Yibai to return to Northern State and concentrate on its governance.
Once this news spread, it caused turbulence in both provinces, but both the Buddhist Sect and Yibai complied with the Celestial Court's decree and acted accordingly.
Two to three months later, Yibai returned to the Yong'an Hall in Wuyun Mountain of Northern State. As the Four Great Heavenly Kings, the Four Duty Officers, and the agents of the Five Directions returned as well, he instructed them to resume their duties according to custom, managing Northern State.
Meanwhile, he sat in Yong'an Hall, attempting to cultivate his "Demon Immortal Technique" using the Samadhi True Fire.
However, he soon realized that integrating the Samadhi True Fire with his "Demon Immortal Technique" was not at all simple.
