The mountains were continuous, with green hills and clear waters under a vast blue sky that seemed limitless.
Sun Wukong and the Victorious Fighting Buddha stood on the summit, from which they could only see the rolling sea of clouds, a sight of immense beauty.
"Are you really leaving?" Sun Wukong asked in a low voice.
In recent days, the Victorious Fighting Buddha had taught him much, and their relationship had grown to be both mentor and friend, which made Sun Wukong reluctant to part.
Gazing at the horizon, the Victorious Fighting Buddha laughed softly and said, "Time waits for no one; I must leave."
Though his time with Sun Wukong had been brief, he was satisfied.
He had imparted all his lessons and skills to Sun Wukong, ensuring he would not follow the same old path.
There would be no more Victorious Fighting Buddha.
Only the Supreme Heaven Great Sage.
