Wukong again split off Sun Traveler, gifted him the Green Lotus of the Green Emperor, and sent him toward Tianzhu.
The Heaven-Defying Taoist and Sun Traveler possessed formidable magical treasures, and even if the Sect Founder came in person, they feared nothing, for they could escape if they could not win. The others watched quietly at Water Curtain Cave to see how the various forces would react before making further plans. Nezha and Bai Qi had long been eager to fight, waiting for a grand battle to unfold.
Wukong entrusted all affairs to Yuan Hong and descended into the Reincarnation Netherworld alone.
"Green Emperor, please come in. The Goddess has long foreseen your visit," said the Yin God at the gate, all smiles, devoid of the former arrogance that declared 'Dead may enter, the living, stay out.'
"Hmm, then I shall proceed on my own, no need for you to lead the way," said Wukong, as he entered the Underworld himself.
