After returning to the Heavenly Court, Sun Wukong went around inquiring about the whereabouts of Emperor Gouchen. But what kind of connections did he have in the Heavenly Court? Although some divine beings were still unclear about Sun Wukong's background, they all knew he represented trouble.
If this trouble reached Emperor Gouchen, wouldn't their own troubles escalate?
Thus, all divine beings tacitly concealed news about Emperor Gouchen. When questioned by Sun Wukong, they all shook their heads and sighed, saying, "It cannot be said!"
This, instead, left Sun Wukong with an impression that Emperor Gouchen was unfathomably mysterious.
Half a month later, inside the Bimawen Mansion, Sun Wukong lay on a chair, one leg crossed over the other, grumbling to himself, "Where exactly is Emperor Gouchen? Why does nobody among the divine know? Does the Jade Emperor himself know?"
An attendant rushed in from outside, anxiously saying, "Sir, sir, Lord Huo De has arrived."
