Once he knew that the Great Emperor Ziwei had a way to solve the problem, Wukong completely relaxed.
He yawned and said, “The problem is resolved, Old Sun is leaving, bye-bye.”
He grabbed Lu Dongbin in one motion.
Lu Dongbin’s face changed, and he shouted loudly, “Great Saint, I can fly by myself, no—” he retched.
Wukong rode the Somersault Cloud and left the Purple Forbidden Enclosure instantly.
“Taibai, from today onwards, seek talented individuals for the Purple Forbidden Enclosure, to serve as officials here.
However, prioritize character, and let there never be another like Li Jing.”
“Yes.”
Taibai Venus hurriedly responded.
The Great Emperor Ziwei’s gaze fell on Zhu Bajie.
“Tianpeng, you are just a little bit away from the Heavenly Venerate realm.
If you have any doubts, you can come to me for advice.
I can also send you to Elder Lord Taishang for some time to cultivate, striving for you to soon step into the Heavenly Venerate realm and truly become a Great Marshal who can command awe far and wide.”
“Your Majesty can truly send me to Elder Lord Taishang for cultivation?”
Zhu Bajie said excitedly.
“I am not the one sending you; Elder Lord Taishang wants you to come over.
Do you remember the Immortal who gave you the Nine-Turn Great Restoration Pill?”
A smile appeared on the Great Emperor Ziwei’s face.
Zhu Bajie nodded vigorously, his voice grave, “I remember, of course.
Unfortunately, after becoming an Immortal, despite extensive searching, I couldn’t find that senior.
I’ve always regarded him as my mentor.
If it weren’t for that senior’s enlightenment and the Elixir he bestowed, I couldn’t have become a Celestial Immortal.”
The Great Emperor Ziwei smiled slightly and said, “In the entire Heavenly Court, the only one who can casually produce a Nine-Turn Great Restoration Pill is Elder Lord Taishang alone.”
Hearing this, Zhu Bajie was somewhat taken aback, even stammering as he spoke.
“Your Majesty means?”
Zhu Bajie felt his heart trembling.
The Great Emperor Ziwei smiled slightly and said, “You have already guessed it.”
Taibai Venus was also shocked for a moment.
He said with a smile, “Congratulations, Marshal Tianpeng, on finding your teacher.
Reuniting teacher and student is indeed a joyous occasion.”
Zhu Bajie’s master turned out to be Elder Lord Taishang.
He realized this himself, and Zhu Bajie suddenly cried out, “I learned Immortal Law from my master and was gifted the Nine-Turn Great Restoration Pill by him, which allowed me to become a Celestial Immortal.
My master’s kindness is as heavy as a mountain, but these years my master was clearly around, yet I couldn’t serve him loyally.
Truly, I’m as heartless as a wolf and cold as a dog.”
The Great Emperor Ziwei said with a smile, “Elder Lord has always been watching over your affairs.
Knowing you returned to the Heavenly Court, he came a few days ago, explained the reasons, and wanted you to go to Doushuai Temple to cultivate with him.”
“I will go to Doushuai Temple now.”
Zhu Bajie said.
“Go ahead.”
The Great Emperor Ziwei nodded slightly.
Zhu Bajie bowed to the Great Emperor Ziwei and left in a hurry.
Taibai Venus suddenly laughed and said, “Congratulations to the Great Emperor.”
The Great Emperor Ziwei glanced at him and asked with a smile, “What joy is there?”
Taibai Venus smiled confidently and said, “Elder Lord seeking out the Great Emperor, isn’t it because he thinks highly of the Great Emperor?
Otherwise, he would have gone directly to Marshal Tianpeng, which would have been much less trouble.”
“Moreover, Elder Lord is willing to enhance Marshal Tianpeng’s strength for the Great Emperor.
This shows that Elder Lord supports the Great Emperor, naturally congratulations are in order.”
The Great Emperor Ziwei smiled and shook his head, remaining silent.
However, from his face, Taibai Venus also saw a hint of barely concealable joy.
With Taiqing’s support, he had a better chance to seize the position of the Great Heavenly Venerate.
It seems this action by the Jade Emperor has at least displeased Elder Lord Taishang.
Otherwise, Lord wouldn’t have shown his stance so clearly.
Zhu Bajie arrived at Doushuai Temple.
He looked nervous as he stared at the tightly closed gate, somewhat at a loss.
Just at that moment, the gate opened, and a gentle voice from inside Elder Lord Taishang said, “Foolish child, come in.”
Zhu Bajie, with a look of respect, walked inside.
The gate slowly closed.
Meanwhile, Wukong returned to Huaguo Mountain, his expression relaxed.
He Xiangu and Fan Yao, among others at Huaguo Mountain, seeing Wukong arrive, immediately showed joy.
“Do you have any matters?”
Having tossed the retching Lu Dongbin to one side, Sun Wukong was somewhat puzzled.
Weren’t those two disaster stars busy dealing with the small demons of the Spiritual Sect?
Why had they suddenly returned?
He Xiangu disdainfully glanced at Lu Dongbin, inwardly cursing him for his lack of backbone, and for embarrassing the Eight Immortals.
It’s just the Somersault Cloud, isn’t it?
Apart from being a bit thrilling, could it really make you vomit?
Fan Yao stepped forward, bowed slightly, and said, “Great Saint, here is the matter, a sister of mine sent me a message saying that a great demon appeared near their sect.
Their sect isn’t a match for it and would like to invite me to help in combat.
I wanted to ask the Immortal Maiden to join me in subduing that demon, and I seek your permission, Great Saint.”
So it was just a trivial matter.
Sun Wukong smiled and said, “Since someone has invited you to subdue demons and eliminate devils, go ahead, no need to ask me.
You’re just helping me out, you’re my friends, not my subordinates, you are free.”
“We’ll be back soon,”
Fan Yao said with a smile.
She hadn’t expected that after meeting Sun Wukong, she would find that the legendary Great Sage Equalling Heaven, renowned for his unmatched divine powers, actually had no airs about him at all, and wasn’t scary in the slightest.
He was very gentle, without much notion of hierarchy, treating everyone around him as a friend.
“By the way, where are you going to subdue demons and eliminate devils?
Haven’t heard of any great demons in the Eastern Continent.”
“Mount Changyang in the Southern Continent.”
Fan Yao answered with a light laugh, confident that with He Xiangu accompanying her, there would be no issues in subduing demons and eliminating devils.
Lu Dongbin’s hand trembled, his expression turning serious: “This great demon you mentioned, it wouldn’t happen to be Xingtian, would it?
If it’s Xingtian, the two of you are simply walking into your deaths.”
“What does Xingtian have to do with it?
Didn’t Xingtian die in battle in ancient times?”
Fan Yao asked, puzzled.
“But he was buried at Mount Changyang,”
Lu Dongbin said.
Fan Yao was taken aback.
With that statement from Lu Dongbin, she too started to have doubts.
Could it really be the War God Xingtian?
Such a high-level figure, difficult to completely annihilate, regenerating after countless eons, wasn’t strange at all.
“I’ll accompany you there,”
Lu Dongbin said, a gentle smile hanging on his face.
But his eyes kept darting towards Fan Yao.
Initially frightened by the notion, He Xiangu scoffed after seeing Lu Dongbin’s demeanor, angrily kicking him.
“Yaoyao, don’t listen to this drunkard’s nonsense, he’s just trying to scare you.
The intention isn’t the liquor.”
Fan Yao instantly snapped back to reality and spoke seriously, “Immortal Maiden, don’t worry.
I’m not interested in Immortal Master Lu, for no other reason than—he’s just too ugly for me.”
Lu Dongbin, utterly crestfallen?
With his refined and elegant demeanor, dashing appearance, and status as the leader of the Eight Immortals, he was rejected for being ugly?
Is there no justice?
“Am I ugly?”
Lu Dongbin asked, not convinced.
Fan Yao sized him up and then said, “Even the Monkey King in his true form looks better than you, think about that yourself.”
“Haha,”
He Xiangu laughed heartily.
Lu Dongbin was thoroughly depressed.
The Monkey King’s true form?
Was this woman joking?
Sun Wukong, sensing Lu Dongbin’s gaze, sneered and said, “What, you think Old Sun’s true form isn’t better looking than you?”
Seeing the fierce look in Sun Wukong’s eyes, Lu Dongbin hurriedly said, “Not at all, Great Saint, you misunderstood.
You are the Monkey King, how could I compare with you?”
Only then did Sun Wukong withdraw his gaze, his face breaking into a smile.
Lu Dongbin wiped the cold sweat from his forehead; this was too difficult.
“Great Saint, we won’t delay any further, we’ll leave now, and we’ll return immediately after dealing with the demon,”
He Xiangu and Sun Wukong said their farewells.
As for Lu Dongbin wanting to follow, they had bluntly rejected him.
Lu Dongbin watched the two female immortals depart with a woeful look, he sighed and touched his face, then glanced at Sun Wukong.
Since when had his appearance stopped being popular?
He looked at the Great Saint again.
What was so good-looking about him?
It must be that both Fan Yao and He Xiangu had questionable taste.
Sun Wukong couldn’t be bothered with him, he yawned and went inside the Water Curtain Cave to rest.
