Western Heaven Spirit Mountain, Great Thunderclap Temple.
After Bodhisattva Guanyin escaped from Bo Saixi's hands, she rode Earth-Traveling Golden Light toward Western Heaven Spirit Mountain. Due to the long journey, it took her an hour to reach the Great Hero Hall.
"World-Honored One, this is bad! Something happened to Little White Dragon. He was captured by a group of Great Luo Golden Immortals who appeared out of nowhere. This humble monk fought them, but was no match for them and could only flee. I have returned specifically to report this." Bodhisattva Guanyin burst rather disheveled into the Great Hero Hall, interrupting Tathagata Buddha's ongoing sermon, in which lotus flowers bloomed from his mouth.
Upon hearing Bodhisattva Guanyin's report, the plump, large-eared Tathagata Buddha frowned slightly. "Do not panic. Let This Seat calculate who they are. They dared sabotage our Western Buddhist sect's sacred scripture pilgrimage and oppose our Buddhist sect."
He raised his arm and swiftly calculated with the fingers of his right hand, only to find the heavenly secrets in utter chaos. When he attempted a deeper investigation, a powerful force seemed to conceal everything, preventing him from calculating anything. In the end, he could only blame it on the approaching calamity, claiming that the heavenly secrets were in turmoil and could not be divined.
"The heavenly secrets are in chaos. This Seat cannot even calculate who stands behind those Great Luo Golden Immortals. Venerable Guanyin, take the Eighteen Arhats to investigate the area around Eagle Sorrow Gorge. Once you discover those people's whereabouts, capture them at once and bring them back to Spirit Mountain. Interrogate them about the power backing them," Tathagata said coldly.
Take the Eighteen Arhats to capture them? Those four Great Luo Golden Immortals had not taken her, an Early Quasi-Saint Bodhisattva, seriously at all.
