The Grand Accountant of the One Hundred and Eight Tribulations, Guanyin Bodhisattva Officially Takes Office!

The West, Spirit Mountain.

Inside the Grand Hall of the Great Hero, ten thousand Buddhas sat in solemn majesty.

Tathagata sat upright upon a ninth-grade Lotus Platform, golden light gathered around him but not released.

The Stone Monkey had been born, and the great curtain of Journey to the West had officially opened.

Every step from here on could not allow the slightest mistake.

A Buddhist voice rang out from atop the Lotus Platform, pierced through the dome of the Grand Hall of the Great Hero, and covered all of Spirit Mountain.

"Pass down my order. All Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats of Spirit Mountain are to assemble in the Grand Hall of the Great Hero at once."

"There must be no mistake."

As the Buddhist voice fell, all of Spirit Mountain shook.

Golden light gathered from all directions.

Medicine Buddha, Maitreya Buddha, Kasyapa, Ananda...

One Buddha and Bodhisattva after another appeared in succession and took their seats.

In but a moment, the Grand Hall of the Great Hero was already filled with people.

Countless Buddhas and Bodhisattvas stood in two ranks on either side, their sacred appearances solemn and dignified, Sanskrit chants arising of their own accord.

Tathagata's gaze swept from the left side to the right, taking everyone in the hall into his eyes.

He wasted no words.

"Everyone, just now, the two Sages sent me a message."

"The immortal stone on Flower-Fruit Mountain has shattered, and the Spirit Monkey has descended into the world."

"This child has profound roots and origins. He will be the core figure who escorts the scripture seeker westward in the future."

"From this day forth, the great plan of Journey to the West officially enters the preparation stage."

As soon as these words were spoken, the Buddhas in the hall all shifted slightly.
