Even though King of Tianzhu dispatched officials to greet him, the Tianzhu Monks still flocked together, refusing to let Tang Sanzang leave gloriously. They rushed to debate Buddhist principles with him, but they were all defeated, and Tang Sanzang's fame overshadowed Tianzhu, becoming exceptionally prominent for a time.
On the grand avenue outside the capital of Tianzhu, a luxurious hovering horse carriage departed, with Sun Wukong sitting cross-legged on top of it, playing with the Three Realms Mall.
Within the carriage, Tang Sanzang expressed some regret: "I originally thought that the monks of Tianzhu would be well-versed in Mahayana Buddhism, that there would be greatly virtuous monks, but now it seems I am disappointed."
Sun Wukong lifted his head, chuckling: "Little monk, your Old Sun could also render them speechless."
Zhu Bajie chuckled: "Master, if Emperor Tang knew that you have uplifted the prestige of Great Tang in Tianzhu, he would definitely be very pleased."
