The news of Jin Chanzi's reincarnation has spread, but it quieted down after a while. After all, it's uncertain when he would return to Spirit Mountain, making any current discussions rather pointless.
In Huaguo Mountain, upon learning of this, Sun Wukong was not surprised: "That fellow Jin Chanzi is too stubborn. Even though Sun tried to enlighten him, he didn't understand. He ought to walk the path of reincarnation ten times."
"But this time, without me as his escort, only Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing can ensure his safety."
"After all, it's unsuitable for me, the Emperor, to escort him."
"Though the Six-Eared Macaque could, he's too selfish. If he were to wear the golden circlet, the pain might make him kill that old monk."
