I dare to test the blade of my sword,

The jade dragon shrieks in fright.

Purple vapors from my hand rise high.

Lucky clouds emerge and cover my head.

I grow longevity peaches in the Jade Palace,

And discuss the Way in the golden tower.

By order I left my celestial home,

And came to this vulgar world, merry and gay.

“Qin Wan, Jie Taoism enjoys untrammeled liberty. Why have you created this trap to harm the world? As I am to break it, I certainly can’t observe the commandment on killing. It isn’t that we’re unkind, but that we must enforce the law of cause and effect. Don’t regret it when it’s too late,” he warned.

Qin Wan laughed. “You’re all carefree immortals, but why are you willing to come and suffer here? You certainly know nothing about the mysteries of my trap. It isn’t I that will drive you to disaster.”

“We’ll soon see just who will lose his life,” the Heavenly Master smiled.

Flying into a rage, Qin Wan struck at him with his staves. The immortal returned the blow with his sword. After a few rounds, Qin Wan once more ran into his trap, but the Heavenly Master hesitated at the entrance, alarmed by the cold fog that hung in the air.

He heard the gold bell ringing behind him, and he mustered his courage to advance. He pointed at the ground with his fingers, and two white lotus flowers emerged from the earth on which he rode into the trap.

“Heavenly Master of Outstanding Culture! Even if you spit golden lotus flowers and produce white light from your fingers, you’ll find it difficult to get out of my trap,” Qin Wan bellowed.

“I don’t think I’ll have any problem,” the Heavenly Master replied with a smile.

He opened his mouth, and a lotus flower, as large as a basin, sprang out. At the same time, five beams of white light shot from the fingers of his left hand high into the air. A lotus flower appeared on the tip of each beam of light, and upon each lotus flower were five golden lamps to light his way forward.

As Qin Wan whirled the three pennants in the air, he saw that the Heavenly Master of Outstanding Culture was protected by colored clouds hung with stringed pearls that hovered in the air around him. Though he whirled his pennants repeatedly, the immortal was not hurt in any way.

“Qin Wan, I’m sorry but I can’t allow you to live any longer. I have to act against the commandment on killing.”

The Heavenly Master of Outstanding Culture then cast his Invisible Dragon Stake into the air and bound up Qin Wan with the three rings. Then he bowed towards Mount Kunlun and prayed. “Your disciple is going to break the commandment on killing today.” With a single flick of his sword, he decapitated Qin Wan and emerged from the now powerless trap.

When he saw Qin Wan’s head, Grand Tutor Wen gave a cry of rage and urged his unicorn forward. “Don’t go, Outstanding Culture! I’m coming to have it out with you.
