Almost at the same time, Sun Wukong felt a peculiar sensation rise within his heart. However, this feeling was so sudden and fragmented that for a moment, Wukong couldn't discern anything from it. Nevertheless, he wasn't in a hurry, as he still had time. Sitting cross-legged beside Tang Sanzang, Sun Wukong began to methodically sort through what he knew and the numerous mysteries arising from the memories he had yet to recall.
First and foremost, Wukong's initial puzzlement wasn't about the current situation of his brother-disciple Bajie or their master, but dated even further back, to when he was patrolling the Nine Heavens. He had heard from Nuwa's doppelganger about previous affairs in the Pangu Realm. At that time, Wukong harbored his first unresolved mystery—that once, a significant change had occurred within the Heavenly Dao of the Pangu Realm, which led to many subsequent events, including direct conflicts between Buddhism and Taoism and many more.
