Western Paradise, Spirit Mountain.
Inside the Great Leiyin Temple.
"Ancient Buddha!"
"This mount of yours..."
"Its brain... seems..."
"A bit, you know!"
Burning Lamp Buddha, seated cross-legged on the nine-grade lotus platform, heard Maitreya Buddha's words and spoke:
"Amitabha!"
"This mount itself is an exotic beast of heaven and earth, a rare means of transport."
"The problem with its intelligence right now is actually related to this old monk."
"I am to blame for this!"
"Back during the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation."
"This old monk fought a Dharma battle with Zhao Gongming of Interception Teaching, and was killed by Zhao Gongming using the Golden Flood Dragon Scissors."
"Fortunately..."
"This old monk's Spirit Lantern was quite good, and resurrected its divine soul."
"Allowing it to take the path of ghost cultivation."
At this moment, Joyful Buddha chanted a Buddhist name: "Amitabha!"
"The Ancient Buddha is truly of great mercy and great compassion! To be able to show such benevolence even to a mount."
By this time, it was long past being a small meeting of the Three Buddhas of Three Lifetimes.

The battle at Lion Camel Ridge concerned all of them, Buddhas and bodhisattvas alike.
This was a matter of shared interests.
They could not afford to not care.
"We absolutely cannot allow this Tang Emperor to leave Lion Camel Ridge," Joyful Buddha said.
Medicine Master Tathagata said, "That's right! If the Tang Emperor gets past Lion Camel Ridge, the future troubles will be endless."
Amoghasiddhi Tathagata said, "The karma is too great."
Ratnaketu Tathagata said, "Today's cause must be severed."
Tathagata!
