Sun Wukong and Six-eared Macaque ended up trapped beneath Buzhou Mountain, where Six-eared Macaque secretly rejoiced to see his enemy imprisoned alongside him.

• Zhunti and Jieyin watched Buzhou Mountain cover Five Finger Mountain and concluded that Laozi of Taiqing was the likely culprit.
• Zhunti wanted to report Laozi to Dao Ancestor Hongjun, but Jieyin warned that they had no proof and the complaint would likely fail.
• Jieyin prioritized the Journey to the West plan and hoped Dipankara Buddha could break Laozi's method, with the Western Saints intervening if necessary.
• Wu Feng's system absorbed Sun Wukong after he claimed the Guardian of the Scriptures spot, and Sun Wukong awoke pinned beneath Buzhou Mountain beside Six-eared Macaque.
• Six-eared Macaque was relieved to survive and delighted to find Sun Wukong trapped with him, but he pretended to be happy only because his boss had arrived.

Sun Wukong asked Tang Sanzang to free him from Buzhou Mountain, but Tang Sanzang could not climb it, leaving the two trapped with Six-eared Macaque. Maitreya Buddha sent Buddhist figures to help Tang Sanzang and rescue Sun Wukong, and Six-eared Macaque welcomed their arrival.

• Sun Wukong asked Tang Sanzang to search Buzhou Mountain for a sealing talisman, but Tang Sanzang said he was too ordinary to climb it.

• Six-eared Macaque spotted the approaching Buddhist group and told Sun Wukong that his own Buddhist allies had come to save him.

Manjushri Bodhisattva, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, and the Eighteen Arhats arrived, but focused on greeting Tang Sanzang and Monk Cihang instead of rescuing Six-eared Macaque. Six-eared Macaque remained pinned beneath Buzhou Mountain as Sun Wukong taunted him, and Tang Sanzang finally asked the visitors whether they would help.

• Sun Wukong taunted Six-eared Macaque but refrained from using his hidden means while the Buddhist figures were present.
• Six-eared Macaque shouted for the bodhisattvas to save him and revealed that he was meant to protect the scriptures on the journey west.
• Tang Sanzang tired of the conversation and asked whether the visitors would help Six-eared Macaque.

Manjushri Bodhisattva, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, and the Eighteen Arhats agreed to rescue Sun Wukong from Buzhou Mountain, hoping to fulfill Maitreya Buddha’s mission and earn Tang Sanzang’s gratitude. After discovering the mountain was whole and overwhelmingly powerful, they struggled to find a way to free him and began considering a desperate attempt to smash through it.

• Manjushri Bodhisattva and Samantabhadra Bodhisattva offered to rescue Sun Wukong, and Six-eared Macaque fainted after realizing they had not come to save him.
• Tang Sanzang accepted their offer, while Sun Wukong remained unconvinced that they could overcome Buzhou Mountain.
• Manjushri Bodhisattva, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, and the Eighteen Arhats discovered that the mountain was complete, not merely a damaged fragment, and were shocked by its aura.
• The Eighteen Arhats pressed Manjushri Bodhisattva for a plan, and he tentatively proposed imitating Water God Gonggong by smashing through Buzhou Mountain.
• Samantabhadra Bodhisattva and the Eighteen Arhats began responding to Manjushri Bodhisattva’s dangerous proposal.

Arhat Tiger Subduing and Arhat Dragon Subduing deliberately crashed into Buzhou Mountain and pretended to be unconscious to avoid blame for failing to free Sun Wukong. The remaining Arhats fought over their chance to try, while Manjushri Bodhisattva realized he was being set up to take the blame.

• Arhat Tiger Subduing backed Manjushri Bodhisattva's suggestion and staged a charge into Buzhou Mountain, reserving strength to protect himself before pretending to faint.
• Manjushri Bodhisattva realized the others had made him the scapegoat, but could not stop them without offering a better plan.
• Arhat Dragon Subduing charged into Buzhou Mountain with his true-dragon mount, broke his Arhat Golden Body, and pretended to faint beside Arhat Tiger Subduing.
• Arhat Tiger Subduing admired Arhat Dragon Subduing's performance, and the two secretly exchanged words.
• The sixteen remaining Arhats argued over who would strike Buzhou Mountain next and try to rescue Sun Wukong.

• Sun Wukong was injured by the attacks and worried about the hardships awaiting him, then regained his resolve by remembering Bajie and Sha Wujing.
• Six-eared Macaque woke, suffered further injuries that shook his soul from his body, and begged Manjushri Bodhisattva and Samantabhadra Bodhisattva to stop the arhats.

Manjushri Bodhisattva used Six-eared Macaque’s injuries as a reason to end the plan of crashing into Buzhou Mountain, then restrained the fourteen Arhats who ignored him. Six-eared Macaque felt grateful to Manjushri Bodhisattva, unaware that he was being used to shift blame onto the Arhats.

• Six-eared Macaque asked Manjushri Bodhisattva and Samantabhadra Bodhisattva for help, but Samantabhadra Bodhisattva dismissed him to avoid risking his standing with Maitreya Buddha.

• Arhat Sitting on Deer and Arhat Crossing the River struck Buzhou Mountain without protecting themselves and truly fell unconscious.
• Manjushri Bodhisattva restrained the remaining fourteen Arhats and accused them of nearly causing Six-eared Macaque’s death; Six-eared Macaque felt moved by his apparent support.

Manjushri Bodhisattva healed Six-eared Macaque and Sun Wukong, hoping to create karma with them, but Sun Wukong’s recovery brought him no such connection. As the Chat Group mocked the Western Buddhist Sect, Jieyin’s attempt to divine the source of the disturbance ended with him badly injured and unconscious.

• Manjushri Bodhisattva blamed the Eighteen Arhats for the failed mission, gave Six-eared Macaque a Pill, and returned his soul to his body.
• Manjushri Bodhisattva gave Sun Wukong a Green Lotus Seed, which fully healed him, but did not establish the karma Manjushri Bodhisattva wanted.

Zhao Gongming brought a Spark taken from the Autobots to Wu Feng's General Store, where Wu Feng discovered it contained a fragment of the River of Time and valued it at two hundred thousand Exchange Points. News of the windfall spread through the Chat Group, leaving cultivators envious and considering ways to profit from future invaders.

• Zhao Gongming arrived at Wu Feng's General Store with the Three Firmament Fairies and asked Wu Feng to appraise the Spark he had seized from the Autobots.
• Wu Feng's system detected a fragment of the River of Time within the Spark, and Wu Feng absorbed it without revealing what had happened to Zhao Gongming.
• Wu Feng valued the enhanced Spark at two hundred thousand Exchange Points, giving Zhao Gongming more than the item was strictly worth.
• A cultivator in the General Store shared the appraisal in the Chat Group, shocking Heavenly Emperor Haotian and prompting him to consider supporting future mission-takers.
• Daoist Duobao regretted not supporting the Three Firmament Fairies, while Wutian recognized invader treasures as another way to earn Exchange Points.

Yuanshi Tianzun received Wu Feng’s permission to tell his disciples about the General Store, then summoned the Chan Sect to share the opportunity. The chapter ended with him teasing his gathered disciples about the great opportunity he had found.

• Wu Feng told Yuanshi Tianzun he could inform his disciples and followers about the General Store.
• Yuanshi Tianzun excitedly rang the Jade Void Palace bell to summon the Chan Sect disciples.
• Haotian, Laozi, Jieyin, and Zhunti reacted to the growing activity among the Chan Sect, heavenly court, and underworld, with Jieyin suspecting it could affect the Western Journey plan.
• Guangchengzi and Taiyi Zhenren arrived at the Jade Void Palace, followed by the other Chan Sect disciples.
• True Lord Huanglong asked Yuanshi Tianzun why he had summoned them, and Yuanshi Tianzun announced that he had found them a great opportunity.

Yuanshi Tianzun and Heavenly Emperor Haotian brought their disciples and trusted aides to Wu Feng’s General Store at Flower-Fruit Mountain to pursue the great opportunity. The newcomers exchanged their spare treasures for Exchange Points but found they could not afford the items they wanted, while Jieyin and Zhunti watched from Mount Lingshan and relaxed when they saw no threat to their Journey to the West plan.

• Guangchengzi connected Yuanshi Tianzun’s great opportunity to the recent changes involving the Interception Sect, the Master of the Heavens, and Dao Ancestor Hongjun, so Yuanshi Tianzun prepared to take his disciples to Flower-Fruit Mountain.
• Heavenly Emperor Haotian secretly gathered trusted aides, prioritizing missions and Exchange Points from Wu Feng’s General Store over Heaven’s Eastern Journey plans.
• Yuanshi Tianzun and Haotian arrived at Flower-Fruit Mountain at the same time and entered Wu Feng’s General Store with their followers.
• The disciples and aides marveled at the Pangu Axe, Chaos Green Lotus, and Creation Jade Disk, then exchanged unneeded treasures and cultivation methods for Exchange Points.
• Guangchengzi received twelve thousand Exchange Points, the most among the group, but none of the newcomers had enough points to obtain the treasures they wanted.
• Jieyin and Zhunti watched the visitors arrive at Flower-Fruit Mountain and felt reassured that Heaven and the Jade Void Palace had not interfered with their Journey to the West plan.

Jieyin and Zhunti chose to ignore Flower-Fruit Mountain and remained unaware that their Journey to the West plan had been derailed. At Buzhou Mountain, the Buddhist rescuers realized they could not free Sun Wukong, while Maitreya Buddha continued seeking a way to save the plan.

• Zhunti suggested that he and Jieyin interfere in Heavenly Court affairs, but Jieyin insisted that Western Buddhism focus on the Journey to the West plan.
• Jieyin and Zhunti mistakenly believed Dipankara Buddha had recruited Golden Cicada and Sun Wukong into their plan, unaware that the journey had already been sabotaged.
• Tang Sanzang checked on Sun Wukong after he recovered from his injuries with Manjushri Bodhisattva’s Green Lotus Seed, and Sun Wukong wondered why Wu Feng’s plan had failed.
• Manjushri Bodhisattva, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, and the remaining Arhats accepted that they lacked the Quasi-Saint strength needed to rescue Sun Wukong from Buzhou Mountain.
• Maitreya Buddha blamed the rescuers for failing and considered sacrificing a Western Buddhist Quasi-Saint rather than abandon the Journey to the West plan.

Maitreya Buddha summoned Venerable Kashyapa and asked him to rescue Sun Wukong, trapped beneath Buzhou Mountain. Kashyapa agreed to consider the task in exchange for release from confinement, unaware that Maitreya was plotting his death.

• Maitreya Buddha decided to summon Venerable Kashyapa to help save Sun Wukong from the Western Buddhist Sect's crisis.
• Yellow Brow brought Kashyapa before Maitreya, who explained that Buzhou Mountain had replaced Five Elements Mountain and trapped Sun Wukong.
• Kashyapa inferred that a Saint had interfered with the Journey to the West plan, not knowing Maitreya had concealed that Sun Wukong was no longer meant to be the scripture pilgrim's protector.
• Maitreya promised to end Kashyapa's confinement if he rescued Sun Wukong, and Kashyapa asked whether Maitreya knew how to break through Buzhou Mountain.

Manjushri Bodhisattva could not free Sun Wukong from Buzhou Mountain, so he used Tang Sanzang’s question to stall by recounting ancient history. Venerable Kashyapa considered his options for dealing with the mountain, while Sun Wukong trusted that Senior Wu Feng’s actions were only a test.

• Maitreya Buddha left Venerable Kashyapa to deal with Buzhou Mountain, and the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas fled when Kashyapa tried to ask for help.
• Venerable Kashyapa decided he would not risk his life trying to topple Buzhou Mountain and considered seeking refuge with Daoist Duobao if his mission failed.
• Tang Sanzang asked Manjushri Bodhisattva whether he could rescue Sun Wukong, and Manjushri explained that even the ancient Demon Heavenly Court could not overcome Buzhou Mountain.
• Manjushri Bodhisattva began recounting the origins of the Witch and Yao races to delay taking action, while Sun Wukong silently trusted that Senior Wu Feng would not kill him.
