Wukong had sought the assistance of Lingji Bodhisattva, who, naturally, was no match for Princess Iron Fan wielding her Banana Leaf Fan; in an instant, he was reduced to ashes.
Hurriedly, Wukong went to Mount Meru in search of Tathagata, as Tathagata naturally could not sit by idly in this matter, otherwise, where would he put his face?
Those of the Immortal Path value face highly; disciples being beaten, struck by surprise, or having their Magical Treasures taken—all could provoke slaughter and killing. The Wind-Calming Pearl had been constantly cultivated by Lingji Bodhisattva since his practice began. It was a pity that it was turned into powder by Princess Iron Fan with a single wave of her fan, otherwise, it would have saved his life.
Causality is easy to create but immensely difficult to resolve. Once untangled, one side is almost always reduced to ashes, ending up with empty promises.
