Chapter 250 The Heavenly Court with its Subtle Atmosphere
"It seems I was too conservative!"
We should have suggested that the monkey go to the Chaos Pearl, which is filled with spiritual energy, to cultivate!
I immediately cast a 1:3650 time trap on the monkey.
Let's double it up!
It will be even more shocking than it is now!
Apocalypse murmured.
However, Apocalypse did not object.
Anyway, it's not like I'm the one practicing, so I can just watch from the sidelines!
He also wanted to experience the unparalleled glory of the Monkey King bravely venturing into the eighteen levels of hell!
"Then it's settled." Dijiang made the decision.
"Fellow Daoist Tongtian, go and fetch the monkey."
We will prepare the Hell Trial Grounds as soon as possible.
By the way, as the master, shouldn't you make a decision for your apprentice?
Should we add some "unique features" to his trials?
"What are its special features?"
"for example,"
Gonggong grinned wickedly.
"Add some of our Ancestral Witch's malevolent energy to the hell of knives?"
Should we send Zhu Rong to set fire to the fiery hell?
"Are you going to have Xuanming Girl blow a breath in the freezing hell?"
Upon hearing this, the ancestral witches burst into laughter.
But his eyes were full of eager anticipation.
Tongtian laughed too.
Although this sounds like Wukong's training would be much more arduous,
But he firmly believed that the ancestral witches would definitely grasp the right measure.
"Alright. Well then... thank you all for your hard work."
The training and enhancement plan for Sun Wukong was thus finalized.
Tongtian also turned and took his leave, heading once more to Flower Fruit Mountain to fetch Sun Wukong to the Underworld for cultivation!
......
Inside the newly restored Lingxiao Palace on the Thirty-Third Heaven.
The Jade Emperor sat high on his dragon throne, with celestial officials lined up on either side below.
But the atmosphere was quite subtle.
Because 99% of the celestial officials at the court assembly were former members of the Jie Sect!
Moreover, Tongtian was a free spirit by nature, and he had previously looked down on Hongjun's gatekeeper.
This resulted in most of his disciples being influenced by him.
This made it impossible for the atmosphere in the Heavenly Court not to be delicate!
If it weren't for the fact that everyone's souls were trapped in the Investiture of the Gods and controlled by others, the Jie Sect would have rebelled against Heaven long ago!
Who wants to be a celestial official in the Heavenly Court!
The Jade Emperor was utterly helpless; who would believe it if he told anyone?!
The so-called ruler of the Heavenly Court has virtually no capable subordinates!
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he's all alone!
If Yaochi hadn't been there with him, he would have lost his composure long ago!
"Do any of you ministers have anything to report?"
Setting aside all distractions, the Jade Emperor spoke, his voice calm and even.
A minor celestial official, who was devoted to the Jade Emperor, understood and immediately stepped forward, saying:
"Your Majesty, in the lower realm of Dongsheng Shenzhou, Huaguo Mountain..."
A celestial stone broke open, and a stone monkey was born.
This monkey was born amidst a spectacular sight of golden light shooting into the sky, shaking the three realms; it is likely no ordinary being.
"Your Majesty, I urge you to make plans as soon as possible to prevent this stone monkey from going astray!"
The Jade Emperor's expression remained unchanged, and he nodded in satisfaction.
"I already know!"
Where are the all-seeing eyes and all-hearing ears?!
The two generals stepped forward: "Your Majesty, we are here!"
Where is that stone monkey now? What is it doing?
Investigate immediately!
"We obey the decree!"
The Thousand-Mile Eye immediately activated its supernatural power, golden light flashing in its eyes.
He spoke after a moment:
"Your Majesty, the stone monkey... has disappeared!"
"Gone?!" The Jade Emperor raised an eyebrow.
The two Western Saints had already discussed the matter of the stone monkey with him privately long ago.
The monkeys are gone now, which is not a good thing!
"yes!
Only scattered rocks remain atop Huaguo Mountain, and no trace of the stone monkey can be found.
I used my supernatural powers to search all four continents, but found no trace of the stone monkey.
It was as if... as if it had vanished into thin air!
These words immediately sparked whispers throughout the court.
A large, live monkey.
How could a newborn evade the detection of all-seeing and all-hearing beings?!
That's an incredibly powerful background that makes people jealous!
At this moment, a celestial being from the Jie Sect stepped forward with a smile.
This man had a face like jade, and a long beard with three strands.
He was one of the top outer disciples of the Jie Sect back then.
Wen Zhong now serves as the "Nine Heavens Responding to the Origin and Universal Transformation Heavenly Venerable" in the Heavenly Court.
"Your Majesty," Wen Zhong said calmly.
Although he addressed the emperor as "Your Majesty," his expression lacked any of the humility expected of a subordinate.
That's the advantage of having someone back you up; you can get by anywhere!
"That stone monkey was formed from a primordial stone of chaos, born and nurtured by nature, and possessed its own spiritual power."
Since we can't find it for the time being, perhaps it's cultivating in seclusion somewhere; there's no need to worry too much!
He said it so casually.
But anyone could understand the implication: this was a cover-up!
The Tongtian Master has been protecting them for a thousand years; the disciples of the Jie Sect can see this clearly from the heavens.
This stone monkey is now the junior disciple of the Jie Sect!
How could everyone not protect him!
Sure enough, another immortal from the Jie Sect stepped forward.
This burly man with a face as black as iron was none other than Lingya Xian, one of the Seven Immortals who served him back then.
He is now known as the "Director of the Celestial Observatory".
"What the Heavenly Venerable says is absolutely right!"
Spirit Tooth Fairy's voice was loud and clear, showing no fear.
"There are countless living beings in the mortal realm, but this is just a stone monkey. Why should the Heavenly Court make such a big fuss?"
In my opinion, it would be better to entrust this matter to the lower realm mountain gods and land overseers.
With one or two people saying the same thing, the Jade Emperor probably understood what everyone meant.
A decision was finally made!
He looked at an elderly man in the civil service who seemed indifferent to the affairs of the matter: Venus.
This old immortal is a strategist of the Heavenly Court, who understands the Jade Emperor's thoughts best, and is one of the few "benefits" sent by Erqing!
Seeing the Jade Emperor's gaze, Venus understood and slowly stepped forward, saying:
"Your Majesty, this old minister has something to say."
The stone monkey has been born, and although its whereabouts are currently unknown, the Buddhist sect in the Western Paradise will likely not stand idly by.
Lingshan has been making frequent moves recently, and Guanyin Bodhisattva even visited Huaguo Mountain in person.
The two saints, Jieyin and Zhunti, also fought a great battle with Tongtian.
This matter is likely related to the great calamity of Journey to the West.
Upon hearing this, the court fell silent, everyone suppressing their laughter!
Everyone knows about the Great Tribulation in Journey to the West.
This was a grand plan that the Jade Emperor of Heaven and the Buddhist sect had secretly devised long ago, and now everyone has indirectly acquiesced to it!
The purpose of the Great Kalpa is to spread Buddhism eastward, expand the influence of Buddhism, and at the same time take the opportunity to cleanse some forces in the lower realms.
The Heavenly Court intends to "assist" Buddhism in this matter.
But while they were helping, the Heavenly Court also had its own agenda.
The Jade Emperor, knowing the reason, still pondered for a moment before saying:
"Since it's related to Journey to the West... let's proceed according to the original plan."
My Heavenly Court should send people down to the mortal realm to assist Buddhism in completing this tribulation.
"What do you all think is the right person to send?"
The members of the Jie Sect were bored out of their minds in this chaotic and cumbersome Heavenly Court.
I've been wanting to find an excuse to go down to the mortal realm and have some fun for a long time!
Wen Zhong immediately stepped forward and said:
"Your Majesty, there is no need for Your Majesty to personally go to the mortal realm to assist in this matter."
"I would like to recommend one person!"
After he finished speaking, he looked at a female immortal behind him.
The female immortal was dressed in a seven-colored fairy robe; her appearance was exquisite, and her temperament was aloof.
He was one of the four direct disciples of the Jie Sect back then.
The Golden Spirit Mother is now known as "Doumu Yuanjun".
"Fellow Daoist Jinling traveled extensively in the lower realms in his early years and is familiar with the situation of the Four Continents."
Moreover, she governs the celestial sphere and can use the power of the stars to monitor the lower realms, making her the most suitable candidate.
Wen Zhong's words were perfectly reasonable and flawless.
But everyone knows that this is clearly an attempt to benefit their own people!
Upon hearing this, the Holy Mother of Golden Spirit immediately stepped forward.
Without giving the Jade Emperor a chance to refute,
She simply bowed slightly and didn't say anything!
Although she didn't say anything, it was as if she said everything!
"I've already humbly offered you a way out; I advise you to be sensible!"
