At a grand assembly in the Celestial Court, Sun Wukong, the Victorious Fighting Buddha, publicly names the demons who were protected by the Celestial Court and the Buddhist realm on the journey to the West, including the Azure Ox Demon and the Azure Lion Demon. He exposes the hypocrisy of their masters behind the scenes, such as Laozi and Manjushri Bodhisattva.
The immortals and Buddhas, exposed and enraged, plunge the Celestial Court into chaos. Seeing this, Wukong says no more and brings his Golden Cudgel crashing down on the Seven-Treasure Exquisite Pagoda in Li Jing's hand. With a thunderous crash, this “treasure of the Three Realms,” which held the wronged souls and fragments of Nezha's spirit, shatters and flies apart, tearing away the mask of hypocrisy worn by the Celestial Court and the Buddhist realm.
