Everyone had journeyed through the Golden Core Stage, and looking back now, they generally felt that they were naive back then, having not fully understood the nuances of the Golden Core Stage. If they could do it all over again, they believed they could do better.

"The lotus blossom has a special significance in Buddhist Law. If I carve the symbol of the lotus blossom onto the Golden Core, perhaps it could allow me to utilize Buddhist Law," he speculated.
