The person Xu Tong ultimately chose to become was a Buddha from Spirit Mountain.
Of course, this Buddha had originally been an incarnation of Buddha Tathagata.
But on Spirit Mountain, only Buddha Tathagata himself knew this.
After all, this was hardly an identity he could openly acknowledge.
Buddha Tathagata had originally intended only to use this identity to learn what the other Bodhisattvas and Buddhas on Spirit Mountain were thinking.

Ever since the incident involving Tang Sanzang and Nüyin, Buddha Tathagata had been deliberately avoiding Xu Tong.

Moonlight Bodhisattva and Sunlight Bodhisattva had little renown on Spirit Mountain. They were merely two ordinary Bodhisattvas.

Even Wutian, who had
