Summary

The passage describes a confrontation between Tang San and the spirit of a Mysterious Tortoise in a cave heaven.

Tang San reveals the tortoise's past, explaining how it contributed to Mount Buzhou's collapse and was subsequently used by Lady Nuwa to support the sky. When the tortoise attempts to intimidate Tang San, he allows Wu Qi, Yu Tu, and Chang'e to attack it.
