The Tathagata Buddha immediately showed a grateful expression and said promptly, "Many thanks to Ziwei Heavenly Venerate, and also to the Judicial Deity."
His attitude was extremely respectful and he dared not show the slightest neglect.
Even having become a Supreme Being did not imply that one could act rashly in the presence of the Heavenly Court.
Yang Jian took his seat and his gaze fell on Sun Wukong. He smiled and said, "Brother, you arrived quickly. I went to Huaguo Mountain intending to invite you to come along. His Majesty also prepared a congratulatory gift for you, but it seems you have arrived on your own initiative."
Sun Wukong chuckled and replied, "You have gone to much trouble, elder brother. However, my gift hasn't been sent out. Jin Chan gave me some good stuff, saying he couldn't let that old monk, Tathagata, get the better deal."
