Tathagata walked into the rear hall, which was a forbidden area of Mount Meru, accessible only to the Three Worlds Buddha. All other Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Vajras, and so forth, unless decreed by Tathagata's law, could not enter; those who trespassed would receive severe punishment!
As the rear hall was a sacred area, it naturally contained many secrets. In the center of the hall was a large Formation, within which was encircled a golden Sharira.
Tathagata knelt before the Formation and prayed, "Supreme Heavens above, your disciple reports: The agreement of the Journey to the West, signed between Buddhism and Daoism, has been breached when the Scripture Seeker reached Wuzhuang Temple and caused great calamity by damaging Zhen Yuanzi's pepino fruit tree, a Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root. Without the Essence of Heaven and Earth, it cannot be restored. I beseech the Various Heavens to grant your disciple the Essence of Heaven and Earth, to safely navigate this calamity!"
