In West Kunlun, very few female immortals had ever come to dwell here since its establishment. Ever since her expedition to the East Sea resulted in defeat by Zhang Qing in the Chaos, Queen Mother of the West had remained in deep seclusion within her palace, failing to appear even during the struggle for authority over the Underworld in recent years.
At this moment, however, Queen Mother of the West waved her hand to open the palace gates and summoned the Jiutian Xuannü close to her, saying, "Xuannü, lately the laws of heaven and earth have shown abnormalities. According to my divination, the Tribulation of the Demon Clan and the Wu Clan is drawing near. Go and instruct our disciples of the West Kunlun lineage to refrain from going out until the Great Tribulation comes to an end."
Jiutian Xuannü accepted the command and departed. Queen Mother of the West rose, flew out of the palace, and stood upon a mountain peak, gazing into the distance toward the summit of Buzhou Mountain. After a long silence, she muttered to herself, "Heavenly Court, Dijun, let us see how much longer you two can hold out."
