[Reply to the above: Exactly. Chang'e once guided Yang Jian by saying his love was too narrow-minded—that he only loved his own mother and sister, and would sacrifice everything for their family reunion. Yet Yang Jian lacked a greater love for all. If Yang Jian could have saved Yaoji with a love for all beings in the Three Realms, perhaps she wouldn't have died. That is why Yang Jian failed, while Chenxiang succeeded. Of course, Chenxiang's success was largely guided and helped step-by-step by his uncle.]
[Reply to the above: But whose entire family could be wiped out and still harbor a great love for the world? For Chang'e to lecture someone who had lost his loved ones about universal love—she's truly out of her mind! Besides, Yang Jian merely lacked love for all things in the Three Realms; he never wanted to harm them, let alone had any intention of sacrificing them! Look at Chenxiang by contrast. From the moment his mother was captured, all he did along the way was romance people. In terms of character, Chenxiang is truly no match for Yang Jian; nor is he his equal in ability. He just has incredible luck, with everyone spoiling and indulging him—and that's what pisses me off the most!]
Chenxiang was furious: "Who the hell spent the whole journey just romancing people? Didn't I learn magic from the Purifying Altar Bodhisattva? Didn't I go to Mount Emei and kneel to apprentice under my Master?"
