The Tang Priest is not able to differentiate between them either. Pig proposes that they ascend the Heavenly Palace. However, it turns out that not even the demon revealing mirror works on them. Grand White Golden Star suggests that they visit the Judge of the Underworld and examine the name-list in the “Registers of Life and Death”. However, Monkey had destroyed the record on monkeys of the Mountain of Flowers and Fruit in the Registers of Life and Death, when he made havoc in the Underworld five hundred years ago, so there is nothing to examine. The Examiner, a riding animal of the Bodhisattva King Ksitigarbha, proposes that they continue to the Vulture Peak, where it will be possible to identify the fake Monkey, as well as to subdue him. The Tathagata Buddha explains the origins of the fake Monkey and subdues the demon monkey into his begging bowl. Monkey seizes the opportunity and kills the six-eared macaque.
唐僧無法辯認。八戒建議他們去天宮，用照妖鏡也不能奏效；太白金星建議他們去陰曹地府查勘《生死簿》名藉。因爲五百年前孫悟空鬧地府時毀壞了《生死簿》（花果山猴類）無法查找，地藏王的座騎——諦聽建議大家到靈山去，既能辨別假悟空，也可制伏妖猴。如來佛祖闡述了假猴的原委，並將妖猴制伏在缽內。悟空趁機擊殺六耳彌猴。
