"On the night the male infant was born, Yao Ji and Ruan Bo took their positions at the north and south of Qishou Mountain to set up altars and engage in a magic duel. Yao Ji, using a strand of Divine Soul, paid homage to the deities to borrow the Nine Heavens Thunder and stealthily entered the favored concubine's dream, while Ruan Bo, refusing to be outdone, descended to the Netherworld to consult with ghosts and drew water from the Ru River to sneak into the favored concubine's dream."
"Both deployed various strategies within the favored concubine's dream, fighting to an indistinguishable standstill. It was said that on that night, outside the palace, the stars and moon changed abruptly, thunder rumbled incessantly, and strange phenomena emerged in abundance, as if demons had descended upon the world. A Vice Supervisor from the Qintian Observatory on night duty, one of the five officials, was scared to death on the spot."
