Chapter 223: Making Trouble in Heaven, Fighting Tathagata

Let the monkey look at the peach?

The gods looked at each other in confusion, and they already had some guesses in their minds: How could the Jade Emperor let a monkey look at peaches?

But to their surprise, the Jade Emperor stroked his beard and agreed:

"Okay, since you want to take care of the Peach Garden, then go ahead!"

The other gods looked surprised. Unexpectedly, the Jade Emperor actually agreed. Even Sun Wukong was quite surprised.

But Sun Wukong was just quite surprised. He couldn't refuse the Jade Emperor's arrangement, even if there was some trick in it.

Who dares to disobey the Jade Emperor's order?

So Sun Wukong immediately became an honorary guard.

For the next period of time, Sun Wukong stayed in the Peach Garden and continued to eat the peaches from the Peach Garden.

Different from what was recorded in "Journey to the West", this time he no longer tasted a peach, but swallowed even the peach core, taking away all the spiritual energy of the flat peach.

As he continued to eat peaches, the number of peaches in the peach orchard did not decrease.

Just because Sun Wukong is a born and intelligent stone monkey, he can understand changes, know the weather, know the location, move stars and change battles, and possesses otherworldly magical powers and wisdom.

The innate changes are coupled with the blessing of one hundred and eight magical powers of Tiangang Earth Demon, and a powerful cultivation level that is close to that of a quasi-sage.

Only a few people in heaven could notice and observe Sun Wukong's changes.

So when he ate a flat peach, he replaced it with a piece of monkey hair that turned into a flat peach. Until he had eaten most of the flat peaches in the peach orchard, no gods could find any clues!

On this day, Sun Wukong sat cross-legged on his bed, feeling the power in his body.

Now he is only one step away from the quasi-sage. Unless he breaks through the barrier and achieves the quasi-sage status, he will be unable to advance.

However, he discovered that quasi-sages and Da Luo Jinxian were completely different levels of existence. The quasi-sages in the past undoubtedly took countless years to achieve the status of quasi-sages.

Even if his innate foundation is extremely strong, even if he eats all the flat peaches that consume the entire flat peach garden, in addition to improving his foundation and longevity, it will not improve him even a little bit.

Therefore, if he wanted to break through to the Quasi-Sage, he could only secretly go to Taishang Laojun and eat all the Nine-turn Golden Pills. Only then would he have a chance to become a Quasi-Sage.

If you don't become a quasi-sage, you will end up being an ant. Sun Wukong doesn't want to be a sage anymore. He wants to change his destiny.

So he speeded up, ate all the peaches in the Peach Garden, and absorbed them completely. Finally, to strengthen his strength, he left his post without permission, left the Peach Garden, and went to the Tushita Palace where the Supreme Lord was!

Taishang Laojun has always been a mysterious figure, and Sun Wukong clearly knows this.

Based on the records in "Journey to the West" and what he saw and heard in heaven during this period, he guessed that Taishang Laojun should be a clone of the saint Taishang Laojun.

Even if it is a clone, as long as Taishang Laojun takes action with all his strength, it is absolutely possible to kill him.

In "Journey to the West", the reason why he was not refined by the true fire of Samadhi, but instead ate all the Nine Transformations Golden Elixir, is undoubtedly the result of Taishang Laojun's release.

After knowing that Taishang Laojun would release the water, Sun Wukong mustered up the courage to secretly transform into a mist and sneak into Tushita Palace.

When he found the Hidden Pill Pavilion, he saw two boys guarding it.

This boy's cultivation has actually reached the level of the Golden Immortal. He is a strong man to the outside world, but for Sun Wukong, he is still too weak.

So he used a little magic to knock out the two boys, and then went to the Tiangdan Pavilion to eat.

I have to say that Taishang Laojun is worthy of being a saint. Even a clone has great power that far exceeds that of ordinary people.

After taking the golden elixir, Sun Wukong felt a scorching heat spreading from his Dantian to his limbs.

And his cultivation, which he has been unable to break through for a long time, finally shows signs of breakthrough!

Naturally, he did not dare to break through in Tushita Palace, but immediately returned to Huaguo Mountain and retreated in Water Curtain Cave.

He knows that what he has done can never be concealed, so before it is exposed, he must break through, achieve the status of quasi-sage, and be free and easy from now on!

…

One day in the sky and one year in the earth.

But what Sun Wukong did was very involved, and as time passed, he was eventually discovered by Heaven.

The Queen Mother picked the flat peach to prepare for the next peach festival, but when she tried to eat the flat peach to see what the result would be, the flat peach suddenly disappeared, leaving only a monkey hair.

This gave the Queen Mother a bad premonition, and she immediately ordered the seven fairies to pick more peaches.

Sure enough, except for a few flat peaches that survived, the rest of the flat peaches were transformed from monkey hair.

Regarding the crucial Peach Conference, the Queen Mother immediately informed the Jade Emperor, and at the same time, Taishang Laojun also informed the Jade Emperor that the Nine-turn Golden Pill he had refined was missing!

The Jade Emperor and Taishang Laojun looked at each other, pretending to know just now, frowning and saying angrily:

"This monster monkey is too presumptuous. Call Li Jing!"

Li Jing half-knelt in front of the temple, holding the lost and recovered exquisite pagoda.

The Jade Emperor said: "You lead the heavenly soldiers and generals, and together with the third prince Nezha, capture the monster monkey!"

Li Jing knew that the curtain of Journey to the West was about to begin, and solemnly said:

"My lord, I obey the order!"

…

Lower bound, Huaguo Mountain.

Many people who had learned that the Jade Emperor had humiliated their own king and made him a horse-raising official were all furious.

However, before Sun Wukong retreated, he told them to be patient and wait until he came out of seclusion. Therefore, Huaguo Mountain was also peaceful, as if Sun Wukong had never been here.

At this time, a figure dozens of feet tall descended from the sky and descended on Huaguo Mountain, constantly attacking the monkeys along the way.

If these monkeys hadn't been fed part of the flat peach pulp by Sun Wukong, which greatly increased their strength, they might have been beaten to death by this figure.

The giant spirit god transformed into a figure of dozens of feet and wreaked havoc in Huaguo Mountain, smashing everything in sight, and kept shouting:

"Get out of here, you monster monkey. You broke into the Heavenly Palace without permission. Come with me and apologize to the Jade Emperor!"

The other monkeys wanted to prevent the Giant Spirit God from approaching the Water Curtain Cave to prevent him from disturbing Sun Wukong's retreat, but they were no match for the Giant Spirit God and could only watch as he approached the Water Curtain Cave.

Finally, the Giant Spirit God approached the Water Curtain Cave. Under the desperate gazes of many monkeys, just when he was about to chop down the Water Curtain Cave with a double-sided ax dozens of feet long, suddenly endless golden lotus flowers bloomed in the heaven!

The Giant Spirit God is also a person who has gone through the Great Tribulation of Godhood, so he naturally has some knowledge. After seeing these golden lotus flowers in front of him, his expression changed drastically, and he was extremely shocked and said:

"Golden Lotus of Merit, who has achieved the status of quasi-sage!"

Thinking that this is Huaguo Mountain, only one monkey can achieve the status of quasi-sage. Even if this is impossible, it is still a fact.

The speculation in his heart made the Giant Spirit God extremely frightened, and he immediately fled away in the clouds.

But it was too late.

A stick shining with golden light hit his chest instantly with an unstoppable force!

The Giant Spirit God, who left many monkeys and monkeys helpless, was directly beaten to death with a stick. If he had not possessed some kind of life-saving magic weapon, he would have died by now!

The giant spirit god retreated in defeat and did not dare to stay any longer. He immediately went to the clouds to report to King Li Tian.

Li Jing learned from the Giant Spirit God that Sun Wukong had achieved the status of quasi-sage, and he couldn't help but look shocked.

Sun Wukong has become a quasi-sage, which also means that his strength is already on the same level as the Jade Emperor Tathagata.

Journey to the West is about to be in chaos!

But even so, Li Jing still refused to retreat. Heavenly Court did not have much grievances with Sun Wukong, but Sun Wukong owed Heavenly Court at this time.

From now on, Heavenly Court just needs to put on a good show for the Buddhas in the West!

So Li Jing asked Nezha to go and capture Sun Wukong.

Nezha just went forward and came back immediately. Even Nezha, who was a Daluo Jinxian, only received two blows from Sun Wukong and was seriously injured.

With "no choice", everyone could only return to heaven.

After they informed the Jade Emperor about the Huaguo Mountain, the Jade Emperor was ecstatic at first and even raised his brows slightly.

But then he returned to his normal demeanor.

The Jade Emperor was not surprised by the defeat of Li Jing and others. What surprised him was that Sun Wukong did not waste his expectations and successfully broke through to achieve the status of quasi-sage!

Sun Wukong, who is at the quasi-sage level, does not have a powerful magic weapon to enhance his strength, but with the Tiangang Earth Demon Technique, he is qualified to disrupt the upcoming Journey to the West!

As long as something goes wrong in the Great Tribulation of Journey to the West, the luck of the Western Sect will be greatly weakened.

The weakening of Western religion is the strengthening of heaven. After all, the fate between heaven and earth is determined!

Although he was extremely happy, the Jade Emperor still pretended and ordered Erlang Shen to capture Sun Wukong.

Erlang Shen also went there, but even Erlang Shen, a Daluo Jinxian who practiced the Eighty-nine Mysterious Techniques, was only beaten five times and returned to heaven with serious injuries.

Seeing that even the brave Erlang Shen was no match for Sun Wukong, Heaven was even more helpless and could only ask Buddha of the West to take action.

Tathagata, who is located in the Paradise of the West, is waiting for the Great Tribulation of Journey to the West to begin, so as to harvest luck from the six realms and strengthen Buddhism. Suddenly, he hears the bad news that Sun Wukong has become a quasi-sage!

Even with Tathagata's nature, his expression changed drastically after hearing this.

This is about the rise of Buddhism, how could something go wrong?

No, we have to knock Sun Wukong back to his original form, and while his quasi-sage status is unstable, force him back to the Daluo Jinxian status!

So Tathagata stepped on the golden light and came to the Flower and Fruit Mountain to meet Sun Wukong.

…

Although he defeated many heavenly soldiers and generals, Sun Wukong did not feel proud at all.

He knew that his main enemy was not Heaven, but the Western religion behind the scenes.

Before he could rest for long, a golden Buddha appeared in the sky on the side of Huaguo Mountain, overlooking the entire Huaguo Mountain from top to bottom.

Sun Wukong naturally knew who was coming, and it was nothing more than the damn hypocritical Buddha Tathagata who kept him under the Wuzhi Mountain for five hundred years in "Journey to the West"!

Although he was filled with anger, Sun Wukong, who had grown up too much, still suppressed his emotions, pretended not to know and came to Tathagata and asked him;

"Where did you come from, a good man, who dared to stop the sword?"

A Buddha behind the Tathagata said with disdain:

"Bold monkey, Tathagata Buddha is here, how dare you act so arrogantly?!"

After the Buddha suppressed Sun Wukong's air flame, Tathagata said:

"I heard that you are rampant in the village and repeatedly violate the laws of heaven. What is the reason?"

Sun Wukong sneered and said: "My old grandson is only located in Huaguo Mountain and has not provoked anyone. However, there are people who are blind and want to plot against me. How can I not make trouble?"

Hearing Sun Wukong's words, Tathagata's heart tightened, thinking that Sun Wukong knew something, but after taking a closer look at his appearance, he dispelled his doubts.

This monkey head probably doesn't know his fate yet!

So Tathagata asked Sun Wukong what his skills were.

Sun Wukong, who knew Tathagata's plan, naturally responded to it, but he concealed his most powerful and hidden magical power, the power of chaos.

Sure enough, after Sun Wukong answered, Tathagata pretended to smile amiably and said:

"You monkey, if you can jump out of my palm with one somersault, then I will ask the Jade Emperor not to bother you anymore, how about that?"

Sun Wukong sneered in his heart, knowing that Tathagata wanted to lure him into his palm and suppress him with the magical power of the Buddha Kingdom in his palm.

But he still said on the surface: "Of course!"

So Sun Wukong walked slowly into Tathagata's palm.

Seeing this, the two Buddhas behind Tathagata no longer concealed their mockery in their eyes.

A monkey is a monkey, even if he has achieved the status of a quasi-saint, he is just a barbarian!

He should be suppressed for five hundred years, and then travel to the west obediently to fight for the fortune of Buddhism!

However, when Sun Wukong was about to enter Tathagata's palm, his body suddenly grew larger until it was the same size as Tathagata.

After that, he used all his magical powers to strengthen himself, enlarged the golden hoop in his hand to a size of thousands of feet, and hit the head of Tathagata Buddha!

Facing the sneak attack of a fellow cultivator, Tathagata was not careful for a moment and was hit by the golden hoop.

Now a big bump suddenly appeared on his forehead, which looked very funny!

After a successful attack, how could Sun Wukong stop there? When Tathagata was conscious, he beat the Buddha who stood up and mocked him to death with two sticks.

The two Buddhas could not react to the attack of the quasi-saint at all, and before they died, they still showed undisguised sarcasm.

Sun Wukong knew that even if their cultivation was the same on the surface, he was definitely not the opponent of Tathagata, who had accumulated a long time of essence and possessed thousands of magic weapons.

So he kept waving the golden hoop in his hand and hit Tathagata continuously.

Because of his fighting style, Tathagata was suppressed for a while!

Above the clouds, all the gods and Buddhas were stunned to watch this scene. They didn't expect that Sun Wukong could suppress Tathagata Buddha.

You know, this is one of the strongest people who can still move between heaven and earth!

Everyone looked at this scene with complicated expressions.

No matter what they thought in their hearts, they all knew that from today, Sun Wukong's fate was completely out of his originally arranged fate.

Either he defeated the Buddha and achieved freedom with all the Buddhas in the sky.

Or he was directly killed by Buddhism and disappeared from then on.

But no matter what, the brilliant name of Sun Wukong will be left forever in the history of the prehistoric world!

At the same time, in a place that no one could see, Bodhi Patriarch finally walked out of Fangcun Mountain and came to the underworld to stop Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and other strong men.
