Atop Kunlun Mountains, Ye Ling and his two companions saw groups of majestic and grand palaces, stately and imposing, not far away.
In front of the mountain peak, there were forty-nine steps, Buddhism emphasizes the concept of "ninety-nine returning to one," while Taoism talks about "seven times seven is forty-nine," both numbers representing a return to truth.
"Old ox-nose, aren't you afraid that one day some ordinary people will barge in here?" Ye Ling asked.
The cave-dwelling Taoist smiled, "There's a grand illusionary formation at the entrance, designed to confuse mortals and animals that carelessly wander into our Kunlun Mountain. Moreover, if someone really does come through, it means they are fated with Kunlun and naturally can learn our Kunlun Divine Powers."
