Wukong had defeated the Heavenly Venerable of the Thunder Department, Wen Zhong, giving another victory to the Buddhist sect, which made Tathagata feel exceedingly satisfied.
Tathagata thought to himself, "Leader of Heaven-Penetrating, although your cultivation reaches the sky, your own disciples have started killing each other, and you are none the wiser! You may sit there looking composed, but I'm afraid you must be seething with hatred."
The Leader of Heaven-Penetrating pondered in his heart, "Tathagata, as cunning as a ghost, you are unaware that this Macaca has Amitabha Buddha's protection and has transformed the Nine-Ranked Merit Lotus Platform into the Rebirth Box, reversing Heavenly Dao's time to arrive here, huh? Heh heh, you think it's funny that my disciples are killing each other, but you have no idea who will have the last laugh."
