Midnight, at the Master's Mansion.
The so-called "invocation ritual" in which Han Yu was participating had reached its climax.
From the beginning up to now, the curses Mr. Han had recited had become increasingly mixed; he first started by calling on Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad, then switched to seeking the Jade Emperor and The Buddha, and later even tried summoning the Dragon King, Zhu Bajie, and even Immortal Huang.
During this process, aside from keeping his hands pressed together, he also intentionally rolled his eyes and shook his head as if placing himself in this trance-like state of spirit possession would make it easier to encounter deities and spirits.
In this manner, another hour and a half had passed when something truly began to change in the room.
In his "trance," Han Yu saw out of the corner of his eye that the candle flames around him began to change color, shifting from bright yellow to pale teal, and eventually turning into a deep blue.
