The Pandardin tries to lend his sword to one of the Buddha's disciples, but the latter refuses to lend it to him, saying that he is a swordsman and that his sword is his "life, a life and death partner" . He asks if he can borrow it, but Pandardins reply that he has brought his disciples to the annual test to see if they are good enough to enter the Heavenly Palace. He then asks if they can see his sword, and the latter replies that he does not need to tell him that they are not allowed to do so at this time, as they are in the process of entering the Heaven Palace. This is the "divine beast phoenix" , he says, and he wonders if the spiritual beast and the clear-cloud sects have the same divine beast. The third senior brother asks why they did not let him see their sword, but he explains that a cultivator cannot simply reveal his weapon to others, except for the master and his brothers. The golden lotus is buddhist's talisman of power, and they are the sorrow of the grand master and the grand disciples. The peacock arrives to assist them in getting to Heaven.
