Chapter 43 opens with a description of the "dark yellow pagoda" of Heaven and Earth. It is a symbol of the gods, and it is believed that the gods have created it to be like a dragon. It has three divine effects: first, it does not cause or effect anything; second, it is invincible; and third, it has merit and virtue. The first effect is not tainted with cause and effect. The second effect is as strong as a hundred times stronger than the first. The third effect is like a mountain, but it can sink a central plains. The dark yellow pagoda can be restored temporarily, but not permanently. The narrator says that he has been pretending for the whole chapter, and he is tired and wants to get off work. A burst of light interrupts his reverie, and the narrator realizes that he is blind. He thanks his eldest brother for the lesson, and leaves to do some research.
