Jiang Han was a little surprised to hear Rulai's words. He hadn't expected Rulai to say that.
Tathagata's words implied that he wanted to rope Jiang Han in. As long as he went to the Western Heaven, he would be able to give him the position of Buddha.
However, Jiang Han didn't want to join Buddhism. He was already the Great Emperor Gouchen in name, one of the Six Royals.
And Tathagata, the ancestor of all Buddhas, was only the five elders in the system of the Heavenly Court. He was even inferior to Gouchen.
It was not that such an official position determined everything, but Jiang Han did not need to go far for this.
Moreover, was it possible for a person who was about to get married to become a high-level monk in the western paradise?
"Buddha, you flatter me. I was just fulfilling my duty. That Sun Wukong committed many unjust acts and was bound to die. Moreover, I only repelled him. The one who really solved this scourge for the Heavenly Court was Buddha.”
Jiang Han said politely, rejecting Tathagata's invitation.
Tathagata was not surprised by this and did not force it in Haotian's territory.
The Jade Emperor, who was sitting high up in the throne, nodded in relief when he heard Jiang Han's words.
Then, he waved his hand and ordered," Both of you have made great contributions and are the lucky stars of the Heavenly Court. There's no need to say anything and shirk your contributions. Come and hold a banquet for the Heavenly Peace Meeting!”
The banquet was held, and the wine cups were passed around. The hairpin flowers were played, and a group of fairies, immortals, beautiful concubines, and hairy women fluttered and danced beautifully.
After the banquet, both the host and the guest were very happy.
After the banquet, Tathagata did not forget to leave behind a talisman with the Buddhist mantra written on it and had it pasted on the Five Elements Mountain.
After doing all of this, Tathagata left with the Second Supremacy.
"This monkey is really nurtured by Buddhism.”
After the banquet ended, Jiang Han looked at the Five Elements Mountain in the lower realm and thought that Sun Wukong was really lucky.
Tathagata waited until Sun Wukong stuck his head out before sealing the Five Elements Mountain.
And the Earth Deity of the Five Elements Mountain and the Five Directions Jiedi would give him iron balls to eat when he was hungry. When thirsty, drink with him the molten copper.
The current Sun Wukong already had the Primordial Origin Indestructible Body. He had also eaten the Golden Pill of the Old Lord and was refined into one body. He did not need to eat ordinary food.
However, these iron balls and copper liquid could increase his cultivation so that he would not fall behind in his cultivation for the next 500 years. It could be seen that the Buddhist Sect had arranged it properly.
"Five hundred years later will be the time when the Cultivation Tribulation of the West will begin. This Primordial Cultivation Tribulation is also an opportunity. If I can interfere in it, I can obtain a lot of benefits.”
Jiang Han calculated in his heart.
He knew that the Cultivation Tribulation of the West was an opportunity for the eastern forces to allow Buddhism to come over, but in order to satisfy the number of Cultivation Tribulations, there would be 81 difficulties.
One of the difficulties was the appearance of the real Monkey King, the Six-Eared Macaque, one of the Four Monkeys of Destruction.
Jiang Han had already collected two types of Divine Monkey physiques, so he naturally wouldn't let the Six-Eared Macaque go.
However, the Six-Eared Macaque was nowhere to be seen in the Wilderness. When it appeared, it would be taken away by Tathagata in no time.
There would be various forces watching the Journey to the West Cultivation Tribulation, so it was not convenient for him to play dirty tricks unless someone came to ask him for help.
However, this was still the worst option. The best way to participate was undoubtedly to join the group that was learning the scriptures. This way, it would be easier for him to do anything.
Jiang Han was deep in thought as he walked back to his residence.
"Jiang Lang!"
Jiang Han suddenly heard a voice calling out to him. He turned around and saw a fairy dressed in colorful clothes walking over leisurely.
It was the eldest princess, Vega. Her colorful immortal robe fluttered in the wind, like a fairy who was about to fly away with the wind. She was extraordinary.
"Vega."
Jiang Han turned around and replied. He did not expect the other party to address him in such a way, so he did not react immediately.
"Jiang Lang, Imperial Father said that he has something to discuss with you. He wants us to go to the Hall of Fragrance together.”
Vega changed the way she addressed Jiang Han. Her face was flushed red, and she looked very pretty.
Jiang Han didn't know why the Jade Emperor had come to find him after the Peaceful Sky Meeting, but since he was with the Weaver Girl, it shouldn't be a bad thing.
The two of them immediately rode on clouds and mist to the Hall of Fragrance together.
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
"Greetings, Imperial Father."
The Jade Emperor sat on the incense chair. When Jiang Han and Vega saw him, they immediately bowed.
The Jade Emperor was obviously in a good mood. When he saw the person who had come, he ordered someone to give them a seat and let them sit down.
"Minister Jiang, do you know why I've asked you to come this time?”
The Jade Emperor asked.
Jiang Han shook his head honestly, indicating that he did not know.
"I have three things to tell you today. The first is to tell you that Sun Wukong has been executed and the Heavenly Court will be peaceful from now on. You can step down from your duties as the Divine Martial General and go to the Gouchen Imperial Palace to wait for the ceremony.”
The Jade Emperor said.
Jiang Han understood that the reason why he had delayed becoming the Great Emperor Gouchen was related to Sun Wukong. If he did not suppress this troublemaker, the Heavenly Court would not be at peace.
Now that he had five hundred years of free time, he could become the Gouchen Emperor in a few days.
As one of the Six Royals, the Great Emperor Gouchen was able to establish his own small Heavenly Court and had his own team. For this reason, the Six Royals were not in the Heavenly Court unless they had something to do.
As for the Gouchen Imperial Palace, although Jiang Han had never been there, he knew that it was a place far away from the celestial heavens.
After he moved there, it would be convenient for him to hide from people's eyes and ears. He could do many things without worry. This was good news for Jiang Han.
"I have to thank Your Majesty for promoting me."
Hearing this, Jiang Han expressed his gratitude again.
"The second matter is related to Sun Wukong. Minister Jiang, you see that my Heavenly Court is full of talents and experts. Do you know why I let a little demon monkey cause trouble in the Heavenly Palace?”
The Jade Emperor asked.
Jiang Han immediately understood that they were talking about the Journey to the West Cultivation Tribulation. However, although he knew it in his heart, he still said that he didn't know.
"This is because of a deal!"
The Jade Emperor proudly told Jiang Han about the cause of the Journey to the West Cultivation Tribulation. Vega was so surprised that she could not close her mouth. She did not expect such an inside story at all.
Jiang Han also pretended to be surprised.
"Therefore, letting Sun Wukong cause trouble in the Heavenly Court is just a deal. In exchange for a spot in the Heavenly Court to join the Buddhist scripture team. This matter is both a disaster and a blessing. I'm considering who to send to the west.”
"Originally, I wanted to let the Curtain General go. He is loyal to me and easy to command, but he is too dull. Even if he joins the team, he will not be able to achieve anything.”
Jiang Han understood that the Jade Emperor was talking about Sha Wujing. This guy was indeed not capable enough. In the group of Buddhist scriptures, he seemed to be useless except for carrying a burden and shouting for help. He was indeed useless.
As for Marshal Tianpeng, although he was also an official of the celestial heavens, he was obviously a chess piece of the old lord and had little to do with the Jade Emperor.
"For this reason, I want you to go. There will be many hardships in the Cultivation Tribulation and there will be demons and devils obstructing you. As the Gouchen Emperor, it is perfectly justifiable for you to subdue demons and devils along the way.”
