Chapter 546: Scene 463 Unfolds_2

Glancing down at the Fairy of Water Lilies, Jiang Chen did know her purpose for coming, yet he still asked purposefully, "Are you from the Hundred Flowers Palace? Why do you seek an audience with me? Do you have a grievance?"

Jiang Chen, as Emperor Jiuchen of Nine Heavens, is the Ancestor of Thunder, holding the power of Heaven and Earth’s Divine Punishments and has the authority to punish on behalf of Heaven.

That is to say, within the Three Realms, anyone who has been unjustly treated can seek Jiang Chen on Cang Mountain to uphold justice, and Jiang Chen cannot refuse.

The Heavenly Dao is impartial, and the power held by the Ancestor of Thunder is the manifestation of this impartiality in the world. Therefore, Cang Mountain has become a place for upholding justice.

Hence, when Jiang Chen sees an unfamiliar person rushing to Cang Mountain, there is no need for doubt, it may very likely be someone who has suffered injustice and has nowhere else to turn for help, as a result, they run to Cang Mountain hoping for him to help uphold justice.

Upon hearing Jiang Chen question whether she had suffered any grievances, the Fairy of Water Lilies quickly shook her head and presented an invitation, saying, "Your Majesty has misunderstood, this humble fairy has suffered no injustice. I am here today by the command of the Queen Mother, expressly inviting Your Majesty to the Pan Peach Feast at Yaochi."

Adding on, the Fairy of Water Lilies further explained, "Originally, this invitation should have already been delivered long ago, but as Your Majesty had not been at Cang Mountain, it was not until today that the invitation was delivered. I hope Your Majesty won’t mind!"

Jiang Chen reached out and took the invitation, skimmed through it, and noticed that the Pan Peach Feast was just a few days away. Clearly, his trip to the secret realm of Five Elements had delayed him for quite some time.

Accepting the invitation, Jiang Chen said, "Very well, I am now aware of this. When the Pan Peach Feast is being held, I naturally will not be absent."

Then, Jiang Chen turned to the Fairy of Water Lilies and asked, "Is there anything else?"

The Fairy of Water Lilies shook her head and said, "With Your Majesty’s permission, this humble fairy has other invitations to deliver, so I will take my leave now."

"Hmm!" Jiang Chen nodded in approval, allowing her to depart.

Soon after her departure, Jiang Chen also started moving, getting up and walking out of the Cangtian Palace. Below his feet arose a seven-colored auspicious cloud, carrying him towards Heaven Court.

Just now, a message had come from his avatar at Heaven Court, that Sun Wukong’s figure was not to be found in the Pan Peach Garden. Moreover, the Pan Peaches were almost entirely gone, with only some unripe peaches left, hanging lonelily from the trees.

With the Pan Peaches gone and Sun Wukong not in the Pan Peach Garden, where would he be then? If he was not sipping Imperial Wine in Yaochi, he must be in Heaven of Separation’s Douluo Palace or at Old Jun’s (Laojun’s) house, stealing the immortal pills.

The grand show was about to kick off, and Jiang Chen, unwilling to miss it, naturally had to go to Heaven Court at this moment.

Jiang Chen moved quickly and in no time, traversed the barrier of Heaven and Earth, entered the South Heavenly Gate, and rushed towards Yaochi.

Halfway, Jiang Chen suddenly saw a celestial figure emerging amidst the fluttering of five-colored divine lights and the incessant flight of auspicious clouds. The sounds of singing cranes filled the nine marshes, and thousands of unique purple herbs dazzled splendidly. The celestial figure appeared to be a naturally gifted and distinguished immortal, dancing with the rainbow and the Milky Way, with a precious sutra eternally hanging from his waist.

He ran into a familiar face, it was the Barefoot Immortal.

Seeing his hurried look, Jiang Chen hurriedly approached and shouted, "Immortal, why are you in such a hurry? Where are you off to?"

Hearing someone calling him, the Barefoot Immortal stopped, turned around, and upon seeing that the newcomer was Jiang Chen, he gave a bitter smile and spoke, "I was played for a fool by the monkey and lost face today."

Originally, as it turned out, the Barefoot Immortal, on his way to Yaochi, ran into Sun Wukong. After being fooled by him, he ended up heading to the Hall of Light.

Jiang Chen, trying not to chuckle, said, "Immortal, the last time we met, you mentioned your intentions to persuade Sun Wukong to turn good. How did that go?"

Upon hearing that, the Barefoot Immortal immediately made a resigned expression and said, "Don’t even mention it, that monkey is beyond hope. No matter what one says, he doesn’t listen. Even if you give him benefits, he doesn’t want them."

"In my opinion, he must have been cursed by the Buddhists, totally losing his mind, with no chance of turning back."

Jiang Chen was taken aback by the Barefoot Immortal’s words and hurriedly said, "Immortal, be careful with your words. There are some things that others might do, but we should not speak of."

Especially the Buddhists, they are particularly fond of the principle of cause and effect, and those ancient Buddhas, each one of them is an expert at manipulating cause and effect.

If you insult them today, and they heard about it, that means you have established a cause and effect with them. In the future, if they choose to retaliate over it, you could only accept your bad luck. After all, you started it by insulting them.

The Barefoot Immortal shook his head in disapproval and said nonchalantly, "What is there to be afraid of? If they dare to do it, I dare to say it. Surely, those bald monks from the Buddhist door aren’t daring enough to search for trouble with me in Dongsheng Divine Continent?"

At this point, the Barefoot Immortal chuckled, "I wish that would happen! I’d like to see those bald monks from the Buddhists, after coming to Dongsheng Divine Continent, will they be able to go back alive?"

Indeed, the Barefoot Immortal is a local power in Dongsheng Divine Continent. He is not afraid of the Buddhists. The Buddhists, even if they get outrageous, can only act tough in Xiniuhe Continent. If they really dare to swagger into Dongsheng Divine Continent, then they might as well die unknown.

The ancient feud of Mystic Sect’s split, the Sanqing may disregard it, but the rest of the great Mystic Sect transcendents do not see it that way.

Each of them is secretly planning how to pull the Buddhists back into the Mystic Sect so that the fate of Buddhists would return to Mystic Sect.

By doing so, they could, by virtue of this merit, ascend to the realm of Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial in one fell swoop.

Pulling the Buddhists back to Mystic Sect is a shortcut to ascend. Some great transcendents of the Mystic Sect who see no hope of breaking through are all fixated on this scheme.
