We learn that the old man is still alive, but he's not strong enough to take on the monkey. He's got a time limit, which is inversely proportional to his combat power. Why don't he surrender and show his manly spirit? If he were a real man , he would wait until he'd regained his strength to fight. Time is running out. Mi wu tells us that it's urgent to write off all of the grudges from the previous life, because once the Celestial World decides to go into war, this world will fall into flames. The old man wants to know who he is, and he asks what he saw behind him. He says that the monkey king is weak, miserable, and remorseful. He can't be killed, but if his soul is broken, it is like death. The box is already there, but the compass is still needed. All living things have the same form, view, and form as the great master. The six-eared monkey is the key to their search for the soul fragments.
