In the Hall of Light in the Heavenly Court, after the Jade Emperor returned from the Thirty-Six Heavens, he summoned the Clairvoyant and the Wind-Following Ear.
The two reported to the Jade Emperor, "Your Majesty, Er Lang the Divine Lord has gone to Liangshan Island to seek reinforcement and has already set out for the Wastelands with a million demon soldiers and three thousand Grass-Headed Gods from the Confluence of the Rivers.
The Jade Emperor asked, "Where is the Eastern Emperor?"
They replied, "He is mingling with a group of young disciples on the island, making no moves."
"He really is carefree!"
The Jade Emperor snorted softly and dismissed the two.
Shortly after, Taibai Venus entered and inquired of the Jade Emperor, "Your Majesty, what did the Ancestral Master say?"
The Jade Emperor replied, "The Ancestral Master has secluded himself and has not appeared."
