However, while Sun Wukong and Wang Lingguan were engaged in battle, the Blessed Saint had already mobilized thirty-six Thunder Generals from the Thunder Division.
The thirty-six Thunder Generals split up and surrounded Sun Wukong in the center.
Sun Wukong sneered and said sarcastically,""A few days ago, I was tied up and couldn't move. No matter how you struck me with lightning, you couldn't do anything to me. Why do you dare to surround me now? I'll give you three breaths of time. If you don't get out of my sight within three breaths, then don't blame me for being rude.”
When the thirty-six Thunder Generals of the Thunder Division heard this, their faces turned red and their breathing became rough. However, they could not refute Sun Wukong's words. He wished he could find a hole in the ground and hide in it.
"One…Two…"
Sun Wukong's expression was cold as he counted the numbers unhurriedly. The thirty-six Thunder Generals looked at each other and quickly scattered in all directions, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
The thirty-six Thunder Generals of the Thunder Department were so weak that Saint Protection was so angry that he stomped his feet and cursed,""This bunch of spineless things, they're really throwing our Heavenly Court's face!”
Then, he turned to look at Sun Wukong with fear in his eyes,""No matter what, I will not let you barge into the Soaring Heaven King Palace so easily!”
After saying that, the spear in his hand was like a divine dragon swinging its tail. He brandished it beautifully and stabbed at Sun Wukong. His divine might soared into the sky, and his aura was shocking. As soon as the long spear appeared, it was as if the void was about to be pierced by him.
Sun Wukong showed no fear at all. He raised his hand and raised the Golden-Hooped Cudgel, blocking the attack from the left and right. The Jingu Staff was like a spinning wheel, spinning and dancing as it fought fiercely with the Blessed Saint True Lord.
The Jade Emperor had been alarmed by the fight between the two. "Saint Yi, go to the West and summon Tathagata here. Tell him to come here and subdue the demonic monkey."”
Saint Yi received the order and went straight to the top of the Spirited Mountain, in front of the Thunderous Sound Treasure Temple. He said to the four Guardian Deities in front of the door,"Under the orders of my master, the Jade Emperor, summon the Heavenly Palace in front of the Buddha Lord to capture the demonic monkey.”
The four Guardian Deities did not dare to be negligent and hurriedly led Saint Yi True Lord to Rulai.
Tathagata sat high above the Treasure Lotus Platform, with two rows of Bodhisattvas and Arhats beside him. "May I know what the Jade Emperor has to do to trouble Saint Yi to descend to the mortal world?" he asked.”
"Three hundred years ago, a stone monkey was born in the Flowerfruit Mountain. It used its magical powers there and gathered demons to disrupt the world. The Jade Emperor issued an edict to grant him the title of Ma Wen.
However, he first forced Wu Gang to death, then killed Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li Jing. He was even more audacious, stealing the Golden Core of the Old Lord and going back to the lower realm.
The Jade Emperor sent Erlang Shen and Nezha to capture him, but they were no match for him. It was all thanks to Old Lord running over to the diamond chakram to hit his head that he was able to capture it.
The Jade Emperor ordered Li Jing to kill him on the Demon Slaying Platform. However, knives and axes, fire and thunder could not hurt him. Left with no choice, Old Lord took him away and placed him in the Eight Trigrams Furnace to temper him with the True Samadhi Fire.
Forty-nine days later, he charged out of the Eight Trigrams Furnace and beat back the Nine Elements Star Sovereign, scaring away the four Heavenly Kings and thirty-six Thunder Generals. Wang Lingguan had been severely injured by him, and now that the Blessed Saint Perfected Lord was fighting fiercely with him, he was probably not his match.
Therefore, the Jade Emperor sent me to the Western Heaven to ask Tathagata to save him.”
When Tathagata heard this, he didn't show any expression on the surface, but his heart was already spinning."It seems that the Jade Emperor wants to use our Dhyana Sect to suppress Daoism.”
Then he said to the Bodhisattvas and Arhats,"You all sit here in the court and don't disturb the Zen throne. Wait for me to subdue the demon and save the emperor."”
With that, Tathagata exchanged Ananda and Maha Kasyapa to follow him. He left Leiyin Temple and went straight to the Numinous Sky Hall.
As soon as Tathagata arrived outside the Numinous Sky Hall, he saw Blessed Saint being kicked to the ground by Sun Wukong.
Sun Wukong looked down at the Blessed Saint and said,""Since you are Canopy's deputy, I will spare your life.”After saying that, he turned to look at Tathagata and the others.
Golden specks of light could be seen behind Tathagata's head, as if there were thousands of power of virtue revolving around him. It looked extremely visual.
"What magic power do you have to cause such a ruckus in the Heavenly Palace?" Tathagata asked. Aren't you afraid that the Jade Emperor will issue an edict to destroy your body and soul?”
Sun Wukong pretended not to know that the person in front of him was Buddha. Like a brainless boor, he shouted angrily,""Where are you from? Are you here to stop me?"
Tathagata smiled and said," I'm the Venerable Shakyamuni of the Western Paradise. I've heard that you're extremely arrogant and dare to behave atrociously in the Heavenly Palace." Where did he grow up, when did he attain the Dao, and why was he so violent and unreasonable?”
"I'm a natural Stone Monkey from the Flowerfruit Mountain," Sun Wukong said."I played around with it myself, and I've learned a lot of magical transformations." In Guanghan Palace, Li Jing slandered me for killing Wu Gang and wanted to punish me, but he was killed by me.
Therefore, I rebelled against the Heavenly Palace and didn't want to be a servant. However, the old Jade Emperor refused to let it go. He repeatedly sent heavenly troops to attack me and killed countless small demons in my Flowerfruit Mountain. How can I not make a scene?"
"What other abilities do you have besides the method of growth and transformation?" How dare you be so rude to the Jade Emperor?"
Sun Wukong thought to himself," This Rulai is setting me up. If I say that my Somersault Cloud is powerful, won't he bet with me on whether I can flip out of his palm?"
He sneered and said,"I know a lot of methods, and the worst of them is an indestructible body."”
Tathagata was stunned. Wasn't this monkey skilled in somersault clouds? Why didn't he play according to the rules? However, it was fine. He said,
"I'll make a bet with you. If you have the ability, we'll compete to see whose body is tougher. If you win, I'll leave immediately. If I win, you have to listen to me. How is it?"
