CHAPTER 552: CHAPTER 490, MOVEMENTS FROM ALL QUARTERS

The Jade Emperor immediately slapped his chest and promised, "Junior Nephew, rest assured, once Hao Tian returns, I will definitely repay you, he’s wealthy." Then he looked at Bai Jin with full expectation.

Bai Jin said helplessly, "Alright! I will let Gu Liang know.

Your Majesty, remember to spend rationally!"

The Jade Emperor was immediately delighted and laughed, "Haha~

Thank you, Junior Nephew. I understand rational spending; I use every Gold Coin for the construction of the Heavenly Court, making it taller and stronger, contributing bricks and tiles."

I trust you my ass~ Bai Jin stood up and said, "Uncle Master, your disciple will take his leave first."

The Jade Emperor also stood up, with a friendly smile on his face, he said, "Junior Nephew, take care!"

Bai Jin turned around and walked outside. After a few steps, he couldn’t help but turn his head and said, "Uncle Master, do not take the West Sea matter lightly. The West Sea Dragon King doesn’t seem to be any good dragon."

The Jade Emperor nodded again and again, laughing, "Don’t worry, I will pay extra attention.

Junior Nephew should also relax, adjust your own mentality, and don’t live too strenuously."

Bai Jin was speechless, indeed, you still don’t trust me! When the West Sea truly rebels, then you will be the one crying.

Bai Jin turned and left, disappearing into the Purple Dew Palace.

The Jade Emperor collapsed back into the recliner, shouting, "Continue playing music, continue dancing~"

...

Bai Jin headed towards the Bird’s Nest, feeling speechless in his heart. The Jade Emperor actually didn’t believe me, accusing me of being too wary, saying I should not be suspicious of the West Sea Dragon Palace. Who am I? The mighty Emperor Gouchen, Bai Jin, covered in white feathers, known to all in the Primordial World for my purity!

Bai Jin grumbled all the way back to the Bird’s Nest, and just before reaching it, he stopped, thought for a moment, and said, "Shen Gongbao, come see me at the Bird’s Nest." Only then did he enter the Bird’s Nest.

Moments later, Shen Gongbao arrived riding on a cloud, his face full of smiles, he landed in front of the Bird’s Nest, bowed, and said cheerfully, "Shen Gongbao pays respect to his senior brother!"

Waves rippled on the wall, revealing a doorway.

Shen Gongbao stepped through the doorway and walked down a shaded path to a pavilion.

Bai Jin stood in the pavilion and smiled, "Junior brother is here!"

Shen Gongbao bowed respectfully, "Greetings, Emperor!"

Bai Jin laughed heartily, "Junior brother, there are no outsiders here, no need to be so formal, come in quickly."

Shen Gongbao entered the pavilion, and the two sat around a table.

Bai Jin poured a cup of good tea and pushed it towards Shen Gongbao.

Shen Gongbao hurriedly said, "Thank you, senior brother!"

"We are brothers, no need for courtesy!"

Shen Gongbao stroking his beard, smilingly said, "Senior brother has summoned me, is there anything you wish to command?"

"Did Shi Ji tell you about the trip to the West Sea to offer congratulations?"

Shen Gongbao said seriously with a fist clutched, "Thank you for your trust, senior brother. However, as an outsider, is it appropriate for me to represent Gouchen Emperor Palace to offer congratulations?"

Bai Jin spoke with a smile, "During the Sealing God Battle, junior brother resolutely stood with us from Jie Sect. From that moment on, I never considered you an outsider. Why would you consider yourself one?!"

Shen Gongbao’s heart warmed, and he said moved, "Senior brother!"

"So, I entrust this trip to the West Sea to you, junior brother."

"Senior brother’s wishes, I will certainly do my utmost. But about our congratulatory gift, could we change it?"

"Impossible!"

Shen Gongbao looked speechlessly at Bai Jin, saying helplessly, "Brother, if I send out this gift, I’m afraid the West Sea Dragon King will drive me out of the West Sea."

Bai Jin laughed heartily, "Don’t worry! That won’t happen. The West Sea Dragon King is not that petty.

And I believe in my junior brother, even if it’s just two blades of withered grass, it won’t shame the face of Gouchen Emperor Palace."

Shen Gongbao’s face darkened as he said, "Ah~ Brother, you’re really putting me in a tight spot."

Bai Jin coughed, speaking seriously, "Junior brother, let’s talk about something serious."

Shen Gongbao also became serious, saying, "Please speak, brother!"

"This time you are going to the West Sea, not only to deliver a celebration gift but also to do something even more important."

"What is it that brother speaks of?"

"To investigate the true state of the West Sea."

Shen Gongbao, baffled, said, "Brother, what do you mean by that?"

"I’ve always had a bad premonition about the West Sea’s grand wedding. I’m afraid that something might have changed in the West Sea. If my guess is correct, the West Sea Dragon King has probably sided with Buddhism."

Shen Gongbao took a sharp breath, his eyes widening in horror, "Betray the Heavenly Court and join Buddhism? How dare the West Sea Dragon King?"

Bai Jin spoke calmly, "This is not surprising at all. Buddhism is destined to rise; this is the great trend of Heaven and Earth. In the coming times, for a long while, the Mysterious Sect may fall into silence. During such a transitional period, it’s quite normal for some Immortal Gods’ minds to wander.

If they want to leave the Heavenly Court, they could have just talked directly, but betrayal is absolutely not allowed."

Shen Gongbao quickly said, "Brother, if the West Sea betrays the Heavenly Court, it will be a huge blow to the reputation of our Heavenly Court. We need to inform the Jade Emperor soon to allow for early planning."

Bai Jin said resignedly, "Of course I know what you’re saying, and I have already informed the Jade Emperor, but he doesn’t believe it!

Sigh~ When I left, the Jade Emperor had resumed listening to music and watching dances."

Shen Gongbao’s expression changed as he spoke in a low voice, "Emperor, is our Jade Emperor a bit foolish?"

"Just be confident and drop the ’is it?’"

Shen Gongbao choked, coughed twice, and whispered, "Should we invite the Heavenly Emperor back?"

"The Heavenly Emperor and the Queen Mother of Yaochi have gone to their private world, and now no one can find them. We can only rely on ourselves now.

Junior brother, I entrust the matters of the West Sea to you; we absolutely can’t let the West Sea slap the face of the Heavenly Court."

Shen Gongbao pondered for a moment, then nodded saying, "I’ll do my best.

If the West Sea really intends to revolt against the Heavenly Court, it must be with Buddhism’s scheming. With my strength alone, trying to stop them is undoubtedly as futile as a mantis trying to stop a chariot."

Bai Jin smiled, saying, "Don’t worry, junior brother, I wouldn’t let you face danger lightly."

He extended his hand and a Gold Coin appeared in it, saying, "This is my Spiritual Treasure. At the critical moment, this treasure can lend you a helping hand."

Shen Gongbao’s eyes lit up as he immediately took the Treasure Money, saying joyfully, "Thank you, brother!"

...

Meanwhile, within Buddhism, The Buddha sat majestically upon the Lotus Platform, with Guanyin Bodhisattva standing to the left below, and to the right, an imposing Buddha with Dragon Horns.

The Buddha’s grand voice rose, "Heavenly Intentions Buddha’s Rise, there is the West Sea Dragon Palace in the Eastern region, following Heaven and valuing virtue, seeking the Buddha Sect’s salvation. Buddhism is wide-reaching, opening the Gate of Universal Salvation.

Guanyin, you may go and guide the West Sea Dragon Clan, lead them out of the Saha World, into our Buddha Sect to attain Great Purity."

Guanyin with hands clasped together respectfully, with a smile said, "As you wish!" She turned and walked towards the exit, gracefully departing.
