And the reason Sun Wukong did not make a move was that he feared he wouldn't be able to restrain his killing intent against Tathagata once he acted, potentially finishing him off with a single strike. Tathagata couldn't die just yet, as he still had many things that weren't clarified. Ji Meng had already cultivated in the World Within the Artifact for quite some time, yet the only one he could spar with on a daily basis was Ying Zhao, so Ji Meng was itching for a fight. Had Sun Wukong not specially instructed him earlier, those formidable figures from the Great Honored Buddhism wouldn't be enough for Ji Meng to toy with. Now that an opportunity arose, Ji Meng naturally wouldn't let it pass. He hastily agreed and then, without any further ado with Tathagata, his body aloft in the air, Ji Meng transformed back to his true form. At the same time, his body suddenly turned ethereal, and in a flash, he charged towards Tathagata.
