The Tathagata made a great event out of Wukong's achievement of Buddhahood, inviting prominent figures from all directions to save face after the loss he suffered during the battle at Louguan.
"Donghuang Taiyi!" People present couldn't help but exclaim—this master, after battling an Esoteric Buddhism Patriarch on Mount Meru and then disappearing, had only shown himself once as Wu Chao Zen Master, and only the Three Pure Ones of the Daoist Sect were privy to this secret.
Now, he had finally made another appearance. As an Ancient Demon Emperor who established the Celestial Palace, he had gone into hiding after being wounded by the Twelve Capital Heavenly Demon Shattering Array, and was replaced by the Jade Emperor.
Upon seeing the arrivals, all beings of no ordinary status, Wukong couldn't help but be inwardly shocked, thinking, "I hadn't expected the Tathagata to invite so many people. As the main character of this banquet, I fear I'm likely to face off with the Daoist Sect."
