Xuan Zan went back to the beginning of Journey to the West and brought with him his lifelong experience of translating scriptures in his previous life and was chosen as the Lord of Tribulation. The Water and Land Assembly asked Guanyin, "Why don't you send a Bodhisattva to deliver the scriptures to the suffering Buddha in the south?" He was tacitly agreed to obtain the scriptures and received the tin staff and Buddha wheel. He retreated alone from Shuangcha Ridge and the demons refused to follow the mortal horses to Liangjie Mountain. He personally tore up the six-character golden post and took Wukong to the west to examine the true method of Lingshan and the falsity of the Eighty-one Difficulties from a mortal perspective.
