The Celestial Master's Awakening

When ox-headed demons roam the land and snake spirits run amok, bringing disaster to the nation and misery to its people,

a ruler can bring peace through authority, a conqueror through force, and a sage through education. Any of them can bring peace to the world.

But the Dao may rise a foot, and the demons rise ten.

Heaven and earth turn upside down, yin and yang trade places.

Even in a golden age, great demons and fiends may emerge to wreak havoc and torment the people.

Now, as the demonic mists return, watch as a Celestial Master awakens in the modern age, slaying demons, driving out evil, and cleansing the world. He will uphold the righteous Dao and keep demons imprisoned forever!
