Chapter 749: Sun Wukong Is Going to Heaven Again, Bodhi Is Sitting In The Lotus Pool

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Saint Jie Yin smiled for a few hours when he heard the word ‘scram’. He suddenly felt happy.

The Heavenly Dao would actually face this one day too!

Li Changshou looked at the constantly changing images in the cloud mirror and looked worried. His focus was naturally on Sun Wukong.

Actually, he was secretly happy.

These two juniors do not care about morals!

How can they be so ferocious to the Jade Emperor’s messenger, who is respected in the Heavenly Courts?

The impostor Taibai Jinxing had appeared and wanted to stop the battle between Nezha and Sun Wukong. Instead, he got scolded. However, the old courtesan’s expression did not change.

Nezha and Sun Wukong unleashed their true flames and clashed in the sky, leaving behind afterimages.

The ten Demon Gods were shocked. The eyelids of the veteran mighty figures twitched.

Li Jing reacted quickly. He took out the pagoda and gave orders to the Heavenly Generals behind him.

The Heavenly Generals set up the Heavenly Constellation Array and forcefully isolated Sun Wukong and Nezha. However, they were also shocked by the attacks of the two. Their blood and Qi churned, and their souls were unstable.

Nezha and Sun Wukong glared at each other but they were both pressed back into the sky and underground by the Heavenly Constellation Array.

It was as if he had to die here today.

After a commotion, the Heavenly Soldiers and Demon Soldiers retracted their formations.

Sun Wukong carried the metal rod. His fur was stained with blood and his armor was dark red. His gaze was fixed on Nezha, who was surrounded by the Heavenly Generals in the sky. The corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

“Little brat.”

Nezha, who had just calmed down, was immediately enraged. His hair was disheveled as he cursed, “You stinky monkey! Try shouting again!”

“Psht.”

Sun Wukong sneered and said calmly, “Let’s fight again next time.”

“Afraid of you?”

Nezha snorted and put away the Six-Armed Dharma Body and the Dharma treasures. He stepped on the Wind-Fire Wheels and lowered his head to fly to the East Heavenly Gate. However, he did not even return to the military camp.

Nezha did not understand why the Heavenly Courts had to recruit this stinky monkey despite the fact that they could destroy the demons there.

However, in the battle today, he felt that this monkey was not bad.

He was quite strong.

The Heavenly Generals did not dare to say anything about Nezha’s willfulness.

Nezha was not stupid. He knew that as long as the Jade Emperor’s messenger, Taibai Jinxing, appeared and read the Jade Emperor’s decree, the battle would end. He would not have the chance to attack.

Sun Wukong’s aura quickly recovered to its peak. He looked at the immortals and gods in the sky, lowered his head, and spat a mouthful of blood. He carried the Ruyi Jingu Bang on his shoulder and turned to walk towards the demons.

On the cloud, Li Jing looked at Taibai Jinxing and frowned.

The Jade Emperor personally conferred the title of the Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal…

Isn’t that title a little too pompous?

Does the Heavenly Courts lack an expert like Sun Wukong? They obviously don’t.

Perhaps, there are some schemes and strategies in this place.

As a general who led troops, he could not understand the need for such a move.

“Everyone, retreat.”

Li Jing said in a low voice. The generals behind him agreed in unison.

“Taibai Jinxing” sent a voice transmission to Li Jing.

“Marshal Li, return the army to the East Heavenly Gate. Let the battle here end for now.”

Li Jing pondered for a while and hesitated. However, he wisely chose to shut up.

He cupped his hands and bowed to Taibai Jinxing. He began to order the various Heavenly Soldiers to return to the East Heavenly Gate.

However, Li Jing did not give the order to retreat. He still asked the army to set up a camp outside the East Heavenly Gate as he could arrive at Huaguo Mountain at any time.

The Heavenly Soldiers above their heads began to retreat. The demons of Huaguo Mountain were in an uproar.

However, many old demons who thought that they had seen through the Heavenly Courts’ plan were stunned. They originally thought that the Heavenly Courts was using the seven Great Saints of the demon race as bait to lure the demons and capture them in one fell swoop.

At that moment, he had been slapped in the face.

The Heavenly Courts actually issued an edict to Sun Wukong to fulfill the name of the Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal.

What kind of logic is that?

Could it be that the Heavenly Courts suddenly saw that the demons are good-looking and felt that the Heavenly Courts should have some demons, so they took the young demon king, Sun Wukong, who has huge potential, for their own use?

Is that reasonable?

That’s ridiculous!

Isn’t that too ridiculous!?!

Then why did they fight so many days ago? Was it just to create an atmosphere and make Sun Wukong famous?

Most of the mighty figures and divine powers who were watching this place were puzzled. They did not know what the Heavenly Courts were doing.

In Jie Yin’s straw hut on the spiritual mountain, Li Changshou stared at the cloud mirror. Taibai Jinxing’s impostor landed on Huaguo Mountain, as if he wanted to talk about peace. He sighed in his heart.

The Dao Ancestor was a “script controller”.

If he did not have enough pressure, he would firmly walk the established path. Eight oxen would not be able to pull him back.

Li Changshou complained in his heart for a while. He saw that there was trouble on Huaguo Mountain again.

The impostor Taibai Jinxing rode a cloud and immortal light surrounded him. He shouted at Sun Wukong, who was surrounded by the demon kings, from afar,

“Great Sage! Great Sage ~”

“Yes?”

Sun Wukong turned around and glanced at the old courtesan. With a command, he ordered a group of monkeys and grandchildren to move forward and tie the old courtesan up and hang him on the tree beside the celebration banquet.

This scene really shocked many immortals of the Heavenly Courts. A certain ox demon who knew about the fake Taibai Jinxing was shocked.

This ox demon was naturally the Bull Demon King whom Sun Wukong recognized. He was the leader of the seven Saints of the demon race. When the Grand Supreme Elder went out, he could only ride Little Gold and Little Silver.

The Bull Demon King looked at the monkeys and hung the white-robed old immortal on the tree. He was helpless.

Oh my, the will of the Heavenly Dao and the Dao Ancestor clone are tied up just like that?

The Bull Demon King leaned closer to Sun Wukong. His thick eyebrows and big eyes flickered with a little light. He said in a low voice, “Think thrice. This is a chance to help Huaguo Mountain. Don’t be rude to Taibai Jinxing.”

Sun Wukong snorted and only called a few sworn brothers to drink and eat peaches. He did not respond to the question directly.

He was clearly angry.

The Bull Demon King could not persuade him. He was surrounded by demons who egged him to eat wine and brag. He had to praise his seventh brother for his bravery.

The old courtesan who was hung up was rather awkward on the tree, but he maintained a smile.

On the throne of the Lingxiao Hall, the Jade Emperor smiled faintly.

In the sky above Huaguo Mountain, in the Heavenly Soldiers’ camp that had yet to retreat, a Heavenly General said that he would save Taibai Jinxing, but he was stopped by Li Jing.

Li Jing said, “This Lord must have his own plans. Don’t guess casually.”

Hence, the generals could only watch from afar.

In the residence of the Saint of the spiritual mountain, Daoist Jie Yin had a benevolent smile on his face. He looked at the scene in front of him with interest and even introduced the fake Taibai Jinxing to his beloved disciple, the Void Bodhi.

Li Changshou pretended to be surprised. “Is this a clone of the Heavenly Dao’s will? I originally thought that it was just a puppet.”

“The Dao Ancestor only released this clone to monitor the Jade Emperor.”

Jie Yin said, “The Jade Emperor is too close to the taboo. Therefore, the Heavenly Dao is afraid of the Jade Emperor. Bodhi, what do you think about the Heavenly Courts or the Heavenly Dao summoning the Wukong to the Heavenly Courts to do the Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal?”

“That seems to be a good thing, but there must be other plans.” Li Changshou pondered for a while and said slowly, “Previously, the Dao Ancestor had mentioned this to me beside the stone embryo. The Dao Ancestor seemed to want Sun Wukong to become famous and be a role model that was tamed by the heavens to warn future generations. Apart from that, it also concerns the prosperity of the Buddhists.”

“Okay.”

Daoist Jie Yin sighed slightly. “That’s the Dao Ancestor’s plan. In that case, there’s no need to worry about Sun Wukong’s safety.”

“Teacher,” the Void Bodhi asked softly, “Did you deduce any calamities when you were deducing the fate of Wukong?”

Jie Yin said slowly, “However, there is a calamity. The heavenly secrets have revealed that he is destined to be imprisoned. In the future, there will be a life and death calamity.”

“Life-and-death calamity?”

Li Changshou raised his eyebrows slightly. Could it be that it is the real Beautiful Monkey King? Did the Buddhists deceive the world?

At that moment, the matter of Saint Jie Yin was revealed by the heavenly secrets. The most likely direction in the Heavenly Dao deduction was not something that was set in the future.

Li Changshou did not think much about that.

If he won the battle with the Dao Ancestor later, he would not have to worry about the so-called destiny of Sun Wukong.

The cloud mirror image was maintained. On the left, Taibai Jinxing was hanging on a tree. He was teased by a group of monkey spirits and could be considered to have been humiliated. On the right, Sun Wukong and the demon kings were drinking and celebrating.

The smile on Jie Yin’s lips did not fade.

Taibai Jinxing was both an incarnation of the Heavenly Dao and a representative of the Dao Ancestor. Moreover, he looked like the former Heavenly Emperor of the Heavenly Courts, the enemy of the Western Sect.

Triple the joy!

Li Changshou did not gloat over that. If the Dao Ancestor were to argue with Sun Wukong, he would lose his temper.

He was looking at the Demon Kings around Sun Wukong and heard the conversation through the cloud mirror.

The demons were persuading Sun Wukong to become the Great Sage of the Heavenly Courts.

The Bull Demon King was drinking in the corner. The other sworn brothers of Sun Wukong could not say anything at that moment. However, a few old demons who were more experienced kept persuading Sun Wukong.

“Great Sage, the Heavenly Courts do not want to expand the battle. They want us to give them a way out. Great Sage, think about it. If the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals were to suppress them, even if they can win in the end, they would have to pay the price of a sea of blood and a mountain of corpses. That price is something the Heavenly Courts cannot tolerate. Moreover, if the name of the Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal is recognized by the Heavenly Courts, the Three Realms will praise you. In the future, you will be good in the world!”

Sun Wukong looked at the old pigeon spirit’s shaking thumb and snorted. He continued to eat the banana in boredom.

“Great Sage, this is a huge good thing. The title of the Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal bestowed by the Heavenly Courts is completely different from the Great Sage that we call ourselves. You have been conferred the title of enjoying life in the Heavenly Courts. We will take care of Huaguo Mountain. We will not let you guys, the monkey descendants, suffer!”

“King!”

An old monkey shouted, “The Heavenly Courts lied to you last time. This time, they might be up to something!”

Sun Wukong nodded in agreement and said, “Hmph, let’s not think about competing with these immortals of the Heavenly Courts. They have a heart.”

Another old monkey said, “Your Majesty, there’s actually no benefit for us to argue with the Heavenly Courts. In the consecutive battles, the various tribes suffered heavy casualties. Although they repelled the Heavenly Soldiers every time, at least 30% of the troops in the Great Kings’ families were injured. There were not many Heavenly Soldiers who died. Moreover, there were hundreds of righteous gods in the Heavenly Courts. Nezha was only one of them. Nezha’s father, Li Jing, had never taken action. There were still many experts after that. The Three Realms are controlled by the Heavenly Courts. If we continue fighting… there will only be death.”

“You old monkey!”

A greater demon stood up and cursed, “What nonsense are you spouting here! Someone! Drag him away and throw him into the oil pot!”

The old monkey trembled and was about to kneel down. However, it felt a flash of light in front of its eyes. The ferocious demon was sent flying. There was a moist peach in his mouth. His sharp teeth were instantly broken.

Sun Wukong snorted coldly, but he did not even look at the demon. He sat on the stone throne and was in a daze. His expression was a little gloomy.

The celebration party fell silent.

Sun Wukong suddenly said, “Bring Taibai Jinxing over.”

The monkeys agreed and put the fake Taibai Jinxing down from the tree and carried it towards Sun Wukong.

Many Demon Kings lowered their heads and did not say anything. They were afraid that the old courtesan would see their faces. Some Demon Kings even left their seats and temporarily hid there.

At that moment, the fake Taibai Jinxing was like an old mortal. He did not use any Dharma powers or show any pressure. He was carried by the monkeys to the front of Sun Wukong.

The monkeys worked together. The old courtesan staggered and barely stabilized himself.

He looked up and happened to see Sun Wukong’s face in front of him. Sun Wukong bared his sharp teeth and pressed the Ruyi Jingu Bang on his shoulder, as if he would attack at any time.

Taibai Jinxing hurriedly shouted, “Great Sage, don’t be violent! I’m here on the Jade Emperor’s orders to announce the decree. Please put down the metal rod and the metal rod.”

Sun Wukong snorted coldly and said, “Why? Are you afraid of the Heavenly Courts?”

Taibai Jinxing smiled awkwardly and said, “Great Sage, you’re wrong. The Heavenly Courts have yet to show their strength. However, the living beings in the Three Realms are all citizens of the Heavenly Courts. The Jade Emperor is benevolent and does not want to kill. Due to your outstanding bravery, the Jade Emperor is happy to see you. He specially conferred you the title of the Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal and let you draw a salary in the Heavenly Courts. Great Sage, you previously thought that Bi Mawen’s level was too low. However, you did not know that the positions of the Heavenly Courts’ gods were already full. You could not be conferred the title of a god. However, you used the treatment of a third-order legitimate god to ascend to the heavens this time. You used the authority of a third-order legitimate god to cultivate and comprehend the Dao in the Heavenly Courts. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to receive merit and comprehend the Dao of the Zenith Heaven as soon as possible?”

“Yes?”

Sun Wukong rolled his eyes and let go of the fake Taibai Jin’s collar. He asked, “Then what about my Huaguo Mountain?”

“Huaguo Mountain… Huaguo Mountain.” The fake Taibai Jinxing smiled and said, “Huaguo Mountain will be the Great Sage’s territory in the future. The Heavenly Courts will personally set it up for the Great Sage. If you are rewarded, the Heavenly Courts will not suppress the demons in Huaguo Mountain.”

Sun Wukong sat back on the stone seat and hesitated.

Another Demon King at the side spoke and persuaded Sun Wukong to follow the Heavenly Courts’ decree. He also wanted to familiarize himself with the Jade Emperor’s messenger.

Soon, Sun Wukong looked at the Bull Demon King hiding in the corner and shouted, “Brother, what do you think?”

The old bull thought that he was in trouble. He raised his head and looked over. His mouth was filled with oil, but he chuckled. He looked at the fake Taibai Jinxing guiltily and said, “Brother, you have to accept the title. It’s a good thing for Huaguo Mountain and the demons. It’s also a good thing for you. Just don’t forget us when you become rich in the future.”

“Alright.”

Sun Wukong looked at the Ruyi Jingu Bang in front of him and weighed it in his palm. He stood up and said, “Then I’ll believe in the Heavenly Courts again.”

The old bull sensed the gaze of the fake Taibai Jinxing and hurriedly revealed a fawning smile.

Taibai Jinxing’s eyes flickered, but he only smiled warmly and did not talk to the old ox.

The Great Sage of the Heavenly Seal did not have a happy heart. Wukong put away the stick beside his ear.

…

“I’m afraid there’s a plan.”

In front of Saint Jie Yin in the straw hut on the spiritual mountain.

Li Changshou, who was disguised as the Void Bodhi, slowly said those words. Saint Jie Yin nodded with a smile and agreed.

Jie Yin said, “The Dao Ancestor’s plan is not something that you and I can think of. Don’t bother about this matter. Why don’t you stay on the spiritual mountain for a while this time? When Wukong is done, he can naturally undo the shackles of the Dao realm for you.”

The Void Bodhi looked happy. He stood up and said, “Thank you, Teacher.”

Jie Yin asked, “Where do you want to cultivate?”

“My Cave Abode seems to have been occupied previously.”

Li Changshou sighed and looked outside the window. He saw the lotus pond in the distance and said, “I’ll go to the pond to cultivate. I’ll guard the door for Teacher.”

Daoist Jie Yin revealed a gratified smile. He raised his hand and tapped. A crack appeared on the Void Bodhi’s Dao realm shackle. He whispered, “Study it well. Don’t make a sound.”

Li Changshou lowered his head and accepted the order. He almost laughed out loud.

A moment later, he quietly sat beside the lotus pond and closed his eyes. His immortal senses locked onto the Golden Cicada that was only a pool away from him.

It was effortless.
