The Heavens all share the same lofty place.
And there is the Pool and the Walled in Space (Chi) that is slowly sinking into Hell,
bringing disaster upon those who are (trying to) reach up out of it.
[Concerning] the seven Founding Ancestors (Qi Zu) and the Old Man (Weng),

Dào Yán Cǐ Èr Zhāng Bìng Shì Zhū Tiān Shàng Dì Jí Zhì Líng Mó Wáng Yǐn
Bì Zhī Yīn Jiē Shì Dà Fàn Zhī Yán Fēi Shì Shàng Cháng Cí Yán Wú Yùn Lì
Qū Wú Huá Wǎn Gù Wèi

Xuán Ào Nán Kĕ Xún Xiáng Shàng Tiān Suŏ Bǎo
abtuse and difficult, yet it is possible that,
though unexpectedly detailed, to suddenly know it clearly.
