The transformation of the Buddha Beads caught the attention of the Three Realms.
Sun Wukong convened a meeting of Immortals in Wanling City, and after two days of discussion, they decided to accelerate preparations for war and maintain vigilance.
Beyond that, they had no better strategy to counter.
Yet, everyone understood that the great calamity was no longer far off.
The Immortals' sense of urgency rose, and they each returned to their domains to prepare for battle.
After their departure, Lord Lao Zi found Sun Wukong and asked him for some of his hair.
"My hair?"
Sun Wukong was startled.
"In all the Three Realms, there's no better material than your hair."
Lord Lao Zi said, "It's unsurpassed for creating Immortal Artifacts and Barriers to resist the great calamity."
"How do you know it'll be useful?"
Sun Wukong inquired.
"We have already tested it."
