[In the first year of his reign, Emperor Qin Shi Huang journeyed to Taishan for the sealing ceremony. Along the way, he met his Uncle Zhong, Profound Yellow.]
[On the Sealing Platform, the First Emperor declared that Virtue should be worthy of humanity, not the heavens. He proclaimed that sacrifices should be made to the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors and the elder sages of the past, not to the Celestial Realm and Earth, nor to Immortals, Buddhas, and Ghost Gods.]
[The Immortals were enraged. Thunder rumbled, torrential rain fell, wild winds howled, the clash of weapons rang out, and fierce fires blazed. The Medicine Buddha of Spirit Mountain, the Luminous Glaze Buddha, descended in person. He casually severed eighteen thousand years of the Great Qin's national fortune, unleashing his wrath and invoking a great tribulation.]
