初在縉雲山，太極真人徐君降之曰：「汝年出八十，當為王者師，然後得道也。」 When he was first on Mount Jinyun, the Perfected One of the Grand Ultimate, Lord Xu, descended to him and said: 'When your years pass eighty you will become teacher to a king, and only then attain the Way.'

則謂門人曰：「吾今年八十一，王來召我，徐君之旨，信而不征。」 Ze said to his disciples: 'I am eighty-one this year; the prince has come to summon me—Lord Xu's prophecy is trustworthy and not false.'
