Gu An lay on the roof, gazing at the celestial vault, looking toward a corner of the Celestial Court, where a celestial gate stood. Above it hung a dragon-slaying saber, and below, a stone platform was set. Two celestial gods escorted a shabby immortal god onto the platform, pressing his upper body onto the stone.
The two celestial gods stepped back, and the dragon-slaying saber fell, not only severing the immortal god's head but also cutting off the celestial court's cause and effect with him. As the celestial dao destiny dispersed, the immortal god's body turned to ashes, drifting away with the wind.
