The scene at the misty viewpoint is enveloped in tranquility. The Destined One sits cross-legged on an ancient stone slab, his staff resting beside him. His eyes are closed in deep meditation, the world around him fading into the distant hum of the mountain winds and the gentle murmur of a nearby stream. The mist rolls in thick and low, shrouding the surroundings in a soft, ethereal glow, as if time itself has slowed to a gentle crawl in this sacred space.

The stone beneath him hums faintly, resonating with the energy of the mountain, Mount Huaguo—a place steeped in ancient power. He inhales deeply, his chest rising and falling rhythmically, as he centers himself, drawing on the strength of the earth beneath him. In this moment of stillness, the Destined One is at peace, reflecting on the battles behind him and the immense challenges ahead. His mind is like a calm storm, quieted by the serenity of the mist, as he feels deeply connected to the spiritual energy of the mountain.

From within the mist, a presence approaches. Light footsteps, barely audible against the soft grass and stone, signal the arrival of another. Emerging slowly from the dense fog is a female simian from Mount Huaguo, her silhouette gradually taking shape. Her movements are graceful, filled with quiet confidence, as she navigates the sacred ground with a familiarity that only a native of the mountain could possess.
