On this day, Heavenly Monarch Haotian gathered the civil and military immortal ministers for morning court in the Spirit Cloud Palace of the celestial heavens.
Suddenly, the guard outside the hall came in and reported,""Great Heavenly Venerate, the Dragon King of the East Sea, Ao Guang, and the Yama of the Netherworld seek an audience. They are listening to Great Heavenly Venerate Hou's edict outside the hall.”
"Quickly announce it," Hao Tian said lightly.”
The man obeyed the order and went out. After a while, he saw Ao Guang and Yan Jun arrive together. When they saw Haotian, they bowed and said,""The Dragon King of the East Sea (Hell King) greets the Grand Empyrean.”
Seeing that the two of them were polite, Haotian nodded and said,""My two beloved ministers, please excuse me."
Hearing this, the two thanked Haotian and stood up. Ao Guang cupped his hands and said,""Your Majesty, a few days ago, a man who claimed to be the Monkey King of the Water Curtain Cave of the Flowerfruit Mountain came to our Dragon Palace. Not only did he snatch the Ocean-Pacifying Godly Needle of our Dragon Palace, but he also caused chaos in our Dragon Palace.”
When Yan Jun heard this, he looked at Ao Guang strangely and then reported,""Your Majesty, the Netherworld was also disturbed by that monkey earlier. The Life and Death Book is a little chaotic.”After saying that, he exchanged a glance with Ao Guang and then presented the memorial.
Haotian listened to their words and read the memorial again. He frowned and said loudly,""How dare you, demon monkey! How dare you act so brazenly! Who is going to capture this demon monkey with me?”
As Haotian's confidant, Taibai Jinxing knew Haotian very well. Seeing that Haotian seemed unwilling, he went out and reported,""Your Majesty, please wait. I have something to say. Everyone knew that in the three realms, anyone with nine apertures could cultivate immortality. This monkey was a body nurtured by heaven and earth, born from the sun and moon. Now that it had cultivated immortality, it had the ability to subdue dragons and tigers. Your Majesty, please issue an imperial edict to summon him to the upper realm and grant him an official position. This can also show the mercy of the Heavenly Court. What do you think?”
Hao Tian looked at Taibai Jinxing with satisfaction and nodded slightly. He said,""My dear minister, what you said is reasonable.”
After saying that, he ordered the Civil Star officer to repair the amnesty edict and then sent Taibai Jinxing to the lower realm to recruit him. Ao Guang and Yan Jun wanted to say something, but Haotian had already announced the end of the court. They had no choice but to return to their respective territories.
Besides, Taibai Jinxing had received Haotian's decree. He went out of the Southern Heavenly Gate, pressed down the auspicious cloud, and went all the way to the Water Curtain Cave of Huaguo Mountain. A group of monkey soldiers patrolling the mountain with swords and spears said to the little monkeys,"I am the messenger of heaven. I have an imperial edict here to invite your king to the upper realm. Hurry up and report!"
When Sun Wukong heard this, he was puzzled and thought to himself,""I, Old Sun, have never fought with the Heavenly Court, but I wonder why this Taibai Jinxing is here?”Thinking about it, he said to the person who came,"Let him in."”
The man obeyed the order and left. In just a moment, Taibai Jinxing entered the cave. After Sun Wukong saw the Taibai Golden Star, he began to look at it carefully. Taibai Jinxing's hair and beard were all white, but his face was extremely red. He wore a white Daoist robe and had the aura of an immortal. Sun Wukong and the others had suffered a series of blows. First, they were defeated by the other six Demonic Sages, and then they suffered a big setback in the underworld. However, their hearts had been tempered a lot. After seeing Taibai Jinxing, they did not dare to be careless. They cupped their hands and asked,"You are Taibai Jinxing?"
Taibai Jinxing smiled and said,"I am."”
Sun Wukong replied with an "oh" and then asked,"I heard that you are from the celestial heavens, but why have you come to my Flowerfruit Mountain?”
"I'm here on Grand Empyrean's orders to summon the Great King." Taibai Jinxing cupped his hands.”After saying that, he took out the amnesty decree and handed it to Sun Wukong.
Sun Wukong took the imperial edict and read it once. He was puzzled and thought to himself,"How does the Heavenly Court know about me? Could it be that I am already so famous?”Thinking of this, Sun Wukong could not help but feel a little proud. However, Sun Wukong immediately became depressed again. He remembered that he had already suffered twice. How could he have any reputation?
Sun Wukong asked,"I have never had any contact with the Heavenly Court. Why did the Jade Emperor want to recruit me?"”
After Taibai Jinxing entered the cave, he began to carefully observe Sun Wukong's character. After a few rounds, he had already made up his mind. When he heard Sun Wukong's question, he smiled slyly and said to Sun Wukong,"Your Majesty, I'm afraid you don't know yet. Your Majesty's reputation has long spread far and wide. My Heavenly Court heard of your reputation and specially ordered me to come and recruit you.”After saying that, he looked at Sun Wukong with a smile.
When Sun Wukong heard Taibai flattering Jinxing, he was overjoyed and said,""I didn't expect my name to spread to the Heavenly Court, hehe.”
Taibai Jinxing smiled and said," After joining the Heavenly Court, there will be many benefits. Not only is the Heavenly Court full of spiritual energy, which is most suitable for cultivators to cultivate, but the various benefits of the Heavenly Court are also envied by many immortals. What do you think, Your Majesty?"”
Sun Wukong's surname was jumping around, so how could he stand such boredom? He had long been bored to death. Now that he heard Taibai Jinxing's words, he was instantly overjoyed and said,"Old Official, you came at the right time. I, Old Sun, have long wanted to go to the Heavenly Court to play.”
After saying that, he gave some instructions to the monkeys and grandchildren, and then went up to the celestial heavens with Taibai Jinxing.
When Sun Wukong and Taibai Jinxing arrived at the Southern Heavenly Gate, they happened to meet a person. It was Wu Yun Xian.
"Wu Yun Xian, Wu Yun Xian, why are you here?" Sun Wukong shouted.”
Wu Yun Xian turned around and looked at Sun Wukong with a faint smile,""You monkey, why are you in the Heavenly Court?”
"Didn't you say that you're not an immortal from the Heavenly Court?" Sun Wukong scratched his ears and cheeks.”
When Taibai Jinxing saw Wu Yun Xian, he hurriedly bowed and said,""Greetings, Great Immortal Black Cloud."
"No need to be so polite." Wu Yun Xian waved his hand.”
Then, Wu Yunxian said to Sun Wukong,""I'm not an immortal of the celestial heavens. I'm only here to play.”
Sun Wukong nodded his head in understanding." I see. In the future, I, Old Sun, will also be an official of the Heavenly Court. In the future, let's go for a long time. Let's go."”
"Alright, no problem." Wu Yun Xian said with a smile.”
