Let us not speak of Yao Heavenly Monarch exercising his mystical arts; instead, Jiang Ziya sat in the Prime Minister's Mansion, discussing strategies for breaking the formation with the generals, silent and speechless, unable to come up with a single plan.
Yang Jian was by his side, noticing that Prime Minister Jiang's expression fluctuated between shock and confusion, bereft of both strategy and resourcefulness, his demeanor drastically different from before. In his heart, Yang Jian wondered: "Could the Prime Minister, once a disciple of the Yuxu sect, now bearing a supreme destiny, suddenly falter so? Moreover, with Heaven bestowing omens and fate favoring him, how can he lack a means to break this Ten Formation? It's truly perplexing."
Yang Jian grew increasingly concerned. Another seven or eight days passed, and within the formation, Yao Heavenly Monarch used his arts to summon away one soul and two spirit fragments from Ziya.
