As Sun Wukong had failed in his attempt to wreak havoc in the netherworld, he did not dare to continue fighting and returned to the Flowerfruit Mountain.
He had wreaked havoc in the netherworld and killed ghost soldiers, but Sun Wukong had no negative karma.
Sun Wukong's disturbance in the Netherworld could be said to have caused a huge commotion and interfered with the reincarnation of all living beings. The Netherworld was the place where all living beings ended their karma, so the karma was very large.
This was also a good arrangement by Zhunti, which was why he asked Taishang Laojun for the Jingu Staff.
The Jingu Staff killed people without any karma, and killing ghost soldiers didn't have any negative karma. Otherwise, this negative karma would have directly crushed Sun Wukong's body.
With the Merit Spiritual Treasure, there was no power of karma. Otherwise, with Sun Wukong's actions, even if he didn't die, his future cultivation wouldn't have any progress!
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,""Reporting to Great Heavenly Venerate, the Dragon King of the East Sea, Ao Guang, and the Yama of the Inferno seek an audience. They are outside the hall listening to Great Heavenly Venerate Hou's edict.”
Sun Wukong caused a ruckus in the netherworld, and Houtu arranged for King Qinguang to go to the Heavenly Court to complain and meet the Dragon King of the East Sea.
"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,""Dragon King of the Eastern Sea, King Qinguang greets 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.”
Hearing this, King Qinguang looked at Ao Guang strangely and said,""Your Majesty, the Netherworld was also disturbed by that monkey earlier. The Life and Death Book was in chaos and countless ghost soldiers were killed.”
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?”
Although Haotian said so, he knew that Zhunti's clone, Subhuti, had already discussed these issues with Haotian.
At this time, Taibai Jinxing stood up. As Haotian's confidant, Taibai Jinxing had a deep understanding of Haotian.
If Haotian still had a loyal minister in the Heavenly Court, it would be Taibai Jinxing. Taibai was Haotian's only confidant, and Taibai was originally a white stone in the Heavenly Court.
After Haotian succeeded to the throne, he didn't even have a single official. Therefore, Haotian enlightened this white stone and turned it into Taibai Jinxing.、
All these years, Haotian had taught Taibai Jinxing. To Taibai Jinxing, Haotian was his benefactor, superior, and master.
Taibai Jinxing Haotian seemed a little unwilling, so he went out to report,""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 wanted to say something, but Haotian had already announced the end of the court. The two 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!"
On the other hand, Sun Wukong had suffered a huge blow after his defeat in the netherworld. After returning to the Flowerfruit Mountain, he no longer played around. Instead, he began to cultivate.
One day, Sun Wukong was cultivating when someone suddenly reported,""The Heavenly Court's Taibai Jinxing requests an audience outside.”
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 been defeated by the other six demon sages, but 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.
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.
After a few rounds, he had already made up his mind. When he heard Sun Wukong's question, he smiled cunningly.
He 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 has heard of your reputation and has 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 had suffered a blow earlier, so he only cultivated the entire day.
However, his surname was jumping, so how could he accept such restrictions? He was already bored to death.
Now that he heard Taibai Jinxing's words, he was 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 before following Taibai Jinxing up to the celestial heavens.
The Heavenly Court sent Taibai Jinxing to recruit Sun Wukong, and Taibai Jinxing did not disappoint. With his sharp eyes, he saw through Sun Wukong's weakness in a moment and successfully lured him into the Heavenly Court.
Li Hao had seen Sun Wukong's actions.
After discussing with Houtu Minghe, Li Hao returned to Golden Ao Island. There were still 500 years to the Journey to the West, so he was not in a hurry.
Now that Journey to the West had enough people to set up the calamity, Li Hao still needed to make some arrangements.
Immediately, Li Hao said to Bull Demon King," This monkey is going to rebel soon. As his sworn brother, you should go congratulate him!"”
"I will obey your orders!" The Bull Demon King hurriedly said.”
The Bull Demon King immediately left Golden Ao Island and found a few more sworn brothers.
When Sun Wukong found out that he was given the title of 'Horse Wen', he was furious and went against the heavens.
The 100,000 celestial soldiers charged toward the Flowerfruit Mountain.
Sun Wukong immediately summoned his Monkey Soldiers and fought against the 72 Cave Demon Kings.
However, a shocking scene appeared. This time, the 100,000 heavenly soldiers had actually failed in their crusade against Sun Wukong...
After Li Jing and Nezha led the 100,000 celestial soldiers to the lower realm, the father and son did not put in any effort. They only fought with Sun Wukong for a while and then pretended to be defeated.
After Sun Wukong's victory, the Bull Demon King's brothers came to congratulate him on his victory. Sun Wukong was extremely proud of himself.
"Congratulations on defeating the Heavenly Palace, brother!”
"Brother, you defeated 100,000 celestial troops from the celestial heavens. This time, you must have shocked the three worlds and obtained a huge reputation!”
"Brother, you're impressive. I admire you!”
When Sun Wukong saw the admiration of his brothers, he immediately felt a huge sense of pride.
Heavenly Court did not expect it to be a silver spear foreign wax head, it was so weak, it was simply shocking and unexpected!
Sun Wukong immediately thought about it and said," Since the Heavenly Court is so bad and I call myself the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, I'm sure the Heavenly Court will be dissatisfied. Why don't I let these brothers call themselves Great Sages too? With so many Great Sages, the Heavenly Court will definitely accept them!"”
Thinking of this, Sun Wukong decided to pass the risk to his sworn brothers. He immediately patted his chest and said,"This little brother is called the Great Sage Equal to Heaven. You can also call him the Great Sage.”
After hearing Sun Wukong's words, everyone was instantly stunned and looked at Sun Wukong strangely.
Perhaps everyone didn't know the power of this sentence. This sentence meant to rebel with Sun Wukong and oppose the rule of the Heavenly Court.
'This Sun Wukong is a bit of a scam. We're living a very comfortable life, but he actually wants us to rebel against Sun Wukong and call himself the Great Sage. Moreover, this Sun Wukong is quite arrogant. He calls himself Heaven's Equal.'
What kind of ability do you have? You still call yourself Heaven's Equal. Do you really think that you can be on par with the heavens just because you defeated 100,000 heavenly soldiers?
The Heavenly Court did not have a strong sense of existence, but it was not something that could be easily bullied. Those who did not care about the Heavenly Court were all mighty figures, top-notch mighty figures of the three worlds, not a Golden Immortal monkey like you.
Even a peak Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal could be crushed to death if he did not care about the Heavenly Court.、
The Monster Kings didn't want to agree. Haotian was a Sage-to-be Almighty who had killed two corpses. They didn't want to be on par with Haotian!
Haotian had been aggrieved. How could you think that you wouldn't become Haotian's punching bag?
Haotian had no choice but to bully the Tribe of Humanity and Tribe of Enlightenment. However, they, the Monster Kings, did not have a strong backing. Once Qi Tian tried, Haotian might come instantly!
This was really a high probability. If no one took Haotian seriously, Haotian might really find a typical example!
The Monster Kings all looked at Sun Wukong strangely. They did not say anything, but their eyes were filled with strong mockery.
At this moment, the Bull Demon King said,""Brother, you have a point. I shall call you the Great Sage of Pingtian.”
When the various demon kings saw that the Bull Demon King had spoken, they immediately looked at the Bull Demon King. The Bull Demon King smiled and said,"With my identity, Haotian won't dare to make things difficult for me. It's fine if you don't use the word 'equal'!”
The Bull Demon King was Tongtian's mount, so it was not a problem for the Bull Demon King to call himself Pingtian!
When the Roc Demon King saw his big brother speak, he said,"In that case, I shall be the Great Sage of the Chaos Heaven, the Roc Demon King!”
The Roc Demon King was the son of the Kun Peng. He called himself Huntian, which was a level lower than Qi Ping, but it was still considered acceptable.
" Haha!" The Dragon Demon King laughed and said," Then I'll be called the Great Sage of the Sea Flooding, the Dragon Demon King!"”
If the Sea Flooding Great Sage was related to the Four Seas Dragon Kings, he would have nothing to do with the Heavenly Court. It would be completely fine, and the Four Seas Dragon Kings would not find trouble with the Dragon Demon King just because of a few names!
Lion Camel King called himself the Mountain Moving Saint, Macaque King called himself the Great Saint of Air Circulation, and Marmoset King called himself the Great Saint of God Exorcism!
These three names did not have any karma with any faction. It was fine as it was safer.
Among the seven Great Sages, Qi Ping was the most eye-catching, followed by Hun Tian. The others were not a problem. The Bull Demon King could be said to have paid the most.
From the moment Sun Wukong did such a thing, the Bull Demon King had sincerely cooperated with Sun Wukong. However, during the Journey to the West, Sun Wukong first sent the Bull Demon King's son to Guanyin as a slave, then killed the Bull Demon King's younger brother, True Immortal Ruyi, and then ran into the belly of his sister-in-law. Finally, he asked the Buddhist Sect to come out and subdue the Bull Demon King couple. It could be said that he had set this big brother up too miserably!
Just like that, Sun Wukong pulled the Bull Demon King and his brothers to rebel with him in name.
The seven Saints began to drink and laugh heartily. Then, they all bid farewell and left. They didn't go far!
The Roc Demon King snorted coldly." Seventh Brother is so arrogant. You actually dare to rebel against the heavens. I reckon that a general will come to capture you very soon!" And Qi actually wants to bring us along to rebel! I really don't know how to describe him!"
However, this Sun Wukong was extremely arrogant and ignorant. He wanted to be on par with the heavens, yet he still wanted them to call him the Great Sage.
The Bull Demon King waved his hand and said," It's fine. We can just watch the show. Haotian doesn't have the ability to find trouble with me." It's not worth looking for your bad luck!”
"Yes, Big Brother Niu is right."”
The defeated Heavenly King Li and Nezha led the generals to Divine Wind Palace.
He said,"We have been ordered by the imperial edict to send troops to the lower realm to subdue the demon immortal Sun Wukong. I didn't expect him to be so powerful that he couldn't win. I hope you can send more troops to exterminate him."
Haotian immediately pretended to be surprised and asked,"How capable is Liang Yi Demon Monkey? Do you still want to add more troops?"
"Great Heavenly Venerate, please pardon me!" Nezha said. The demon monkey used an iron cudgel to defeat the Giant Miracle God and injure my arm. A flag was erected outside the entrance of the cave, with the words 'Great Sage Equal to Heaven' written on it. It was said that he would be granted this official position even if he stopped fighting and came to surrender. If it wasn't for this official, he would have attacked the Divine Wind Palace.”
"Whoosh!"
Instantly, the entire Soaring Heaven King Palace was in an uproar. He claimed to be the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal and wanted to attack the Heavenly Court. Was he just a Golden Immortal monkey?
This was simply indescribable. Was this arrogance? Or ignorance? Or?
However, seeing that Hao Tian was not angry, Hao Tian immediately said,""How dare this demon monkey be so arrogant! Who is going to subdue this demonic monkey?"
As he spoke, Taibai Jinxing stood out and reported,""That demon monkey only knows how to speak, but it doesn't know how big or small it is. I want to send more troops to fight with him, but I can't subdue him for a while, but I'm tired. The Great Heavenly Venerate was kind and even issued a decree to recruit him and teach him to be the Great Sage Equal to Heaven. It was just an empty title, an official without any salary.”
"What do you mean by having an official position but no salary?" asked Haotian.”
Taibai Jinxing replied,"His name is the Great Sage Equal to Heaven. He only does not care about his affairs or give him a salary. He is raised in heaven and earth to collect his evil thoughts so that he will not be arrogant. He hopes that heaven and earth will be peaceful and the sea will be peaceful.”
"As you say," said Haotian.”
He immediately ordered the imperial edict to be issued, and Taibai Jinxing led the troops to surrender.
