Journey to the West: Starting from Changing Sun Wukong’s fate -
Chapter 121 - 121 121 Zhunti you taught your disciples well
121: Chapter 121 Zhunti, you taught your disciples well 121: Chapter 121 Zhunti, you taught your disciples well “This alchemy furnace must be taken, who knows if the elixirs inside are top-notch!”
Sun Wukong clenched his teeth, his body enlarged, and with a lift of his hand, a powerful burst of mana erupted, enveloping the alchemy furnace in front of him, ready to take it away with him.
If the Cloud Bed couldn’t be moved, surely this alchemy furnace could be taken.
At this moment, the Grand Elder of the Supreme Way, who had been watching Sun Wukong give up on moving the Cloud Bed and then attempting to move the alchemy furnace, couldn’t help but twitch the corners of his eyes.
Although he knew for a long time that Sun Wukong had been taught by Patriarch Bodhi, he didn’t expect him to be so shameless, just like his master, completely without shame.
However, if Patriarch Bodhi saw the Grand Elder of the Supreme Way, he would only disdainfully say, “What’s this?
This monkey only took a few things from you; my Slanting Moon Three Stars Cave was completely emptied!”
Had it not been for Sun Wukong acting so ruthlessly, he likely wouldn’t have disbanded the Slanting Moon Three Stars Cave so quickly.
However, at this moment, having seen this scene, the Grand Elder of the Supreme Way was already quite unsettled.
Heaven knows what this Macaque would do next, continuing to create havoc in his Helmet Armor Palace, who knows what would happen.
Immediately standing up, he spoke, “Fellow Daoist Ran Deng, I still have some matters to attend to today, and must leave now!”
Upon hearing the Grand Elder of the Supreme Way, Ran Deng was also startled for a moment, not knowing what had happened to make the Grand Elder so anxious.
After all, the Grand Elder had always been incredibly calm and never such.
“Elder Lord, what exactly happened?”
Ran Deng couldn’t help but ask.
Upon hearing Ran Deng’s question, the Grand Elder of the Supreme Way’s expression darkened, and then in a deep voice, he said, “Also, please inform the Ancient Buddha Ran Deng and Saint Zhunti that the Macaque has entered the Calamity of Measurement, and regarding all losses inside my Helmet Armor Palace, please return them later!”
He hadn’t intended to say this originally, but now Sun Wukong’s actions were just too excessive.
Literally took everything!
Wouldn’t let anything go.
Had it not been for a previous agreement with the two Saints of Buddhism that he couldn’t intervene, he would have stopped Sun Wukong by now.
With such great losses now, who else could he turn to if not these two?
“What?
That Macaque has already entered the Calamity?”
Upon hearing the Grand Elder of the Supreme Way mention this matter, a look of surprise appeared on Ancient Buddha Ran Deng’s face.
He had already sent Li Jing to deploy the Martial Virtue Star Lord to deal with Sun Wukong, but after that, the matter seemed to have been forgotten.
After notifying Sakyamuni Tathagata, he hadn’t further pursued the matter.
Unexpectedly, the Macaque had suddenly entered the Calamity.
This was somewhat surprising to him, but it was also fortunate.
As long as Sun Wukong had entered the Calamity, the great prosperity of Buddhism was destined.
For them, it was indeed a great piece of good news.
However, upon hearing the latter part of what the Grand Elder of the Supreme Way said, the corners of Ancient Buddha Ran Deng’s mouth twitched involuntarily.
To have such a transcendent being as the Elder Lord now actually needing Saints Zhunti and Jieyin to compensate for the losses made him very curious about what the Macaque had really done.
But since the Grand Elder of the Supreme Way had already spoken thus, he, Ran Deng, could only chant a Buddha’s name and said, “Amitabha, I have noted what the Elder Lord mentioned and will surely report it to my World Honored One when I return!”
With that, Ancient Buddha Ran Deng, along with a group of Shami, Arhats, and Garan, rode the Auspicious Clouds and shot towards the Western Pure Land.
Watching this scene, the Grand Elder of the Supreme Way also turned and took his two young acolytes back to the Helmet Armor Palace.
Meanwhile, inside the Helmet Armor Palace.
Sun Wukong was trying to move the alchemy furnace, even though he used his mana.
However, the heaviness of the furnace, even for him, was difficult to manage, and the key was that the flames inside continued to surge violently, directly piercing through even his mana wraps.
The entire furnace fell straight down, landing on the ground with a loud crash.
Watching the transformation of the alchemy furnace, Sun Wukong inwardly sighed, knowing he could not take the furnace this time.
Immediately, he transformed into a streak of light and shot out of the Helmet Armor Palace.
If he didn’t leave now, he might get trapped.
Although this clone was created to attract the attention of the many gods and Buddhas of the Celestial Court, facing a legendary figure like the Grand Elder of Supreme Daoist Ancestry still made him somewhat daunted.After leaving the Helmet Armor Palace, Sun Wukong did not pause at all, his form flashing and disappearing into the Thirty-Three Heavens.
Just shortly after Sun Wukong left.
Not far from outside the Helmet Armor Palace, Auspicious Clouds churned and faint celestial music could be heard.
Soon after, three figures appeared in the distance and gradually approached, only then it became clear it was the Grand Elder of the Supreme Way.
By his side were two boys with their hair braided in double horn buns.
One wore a golden headband, the other a silver headband!
However, upon entering the Helmet Armor Palace, the corners of the mouths of the two boys involuntarily twitched.
The originally neat and tidy Helmet Armor Palace had become a complete mess, with countless items scattered all over the ground.
Anything that was even slightly valuable had basically disappeared.
Even the floor, built with the precious jade stone of the Celestial Court, had been pried up, exposing the rough ground beneath.
Although these jade stones were incredibly precious in the Mortal Realm, which Immortal in the Celestial Court would care about such things?
“Master, inside the Helmet Armor Palace, besides the Cloud Bed, Vajra Cutter, and Alchemy Furnace that are still here, everything else is gone!”
After conducting a check, Golden Boy respectfully reported to the Grand Elder of the Supreme Way.
Silver Boy also returned by then and respectfully said, “Master, the cows in the cowshed are still there, but the Binding Immortal Rope used to tie them is gone!”
Golden Boy and Silver Boy exchanged glances, both seeing the frustration in each other’s eyes.
It was just a trip out with the master, and the Helmet Armor Palace had been burglarized, leaving nothing behind.
This was the Helmet Armor Palace, who could dare to do this?
Such audacity!
The Grand Elder of the Supreme Way, upon hearing the report from Golden Boy and Silver Boy, couldn’t help but nod.
Even though he had already anticipated this deep down, he still couldn’t help but twitch the corner of his mouth when he heard their report now.
It was outrageous, to take away everything?
The loss was severe this time in the promotion of the Calamity of Measurement.
This Macaque was indeed a worthy disciple of those two from the Western Direction; if it were possible to move the entire Helmet Armor Palace, he would probably not hesitate to take it either.
Although the Grand Elder of the Supreme Way was cursing the fine disciples of the Western Human Teachings Sect in his heart, he still spoke calmly, “It doesn’t matter, just watch the house well.
I’ll go inform the Jade Emperor about this!”
Then, an auspicious cloud rose under his feet, enveloped by it, the Grand Elder of the Supreme Way floated up, heading straight toward the direction of the Ninth Celestial Palace.
Meanwhile, elsewhere.
At this time, in the Ninth Celestial Palace, the court officials were arrayed below.
Hundreds of Celestial Officials stood on either side, looking to number in the hundreds, more than at any court meeting.
In the center of the Celestial Officials, seven Female Immortals stood holding bamboo baskets, each dressed in different colored robes, standing gracefully.
“The Celestial Worthies should have all arrived by now!”
The voice of the Jade Emperor resounded from above the Golden Palace.
The Martial Virtue Star Lord stepped forward, and after counting the Orthodox Deities, respectfully said, “Reporting to Your Majesty, all Celestial Worthies, except those currently on duty and not in the Celestial Palace, have arrived!”
The Jade Emperor nodded and said, “Since that’s the case, let’s begin.”
As the Jade Emperor’s words fell, many Orthodox Deities bowed, then stood quietly on either side and spoke no more.
Some, who normally did not need to attend court, also felt a chilling sensation in their hearts, not understanding what big event had occurred that necessitated the Jade Emperor summoning so many of them.
But now, above the court, even though they were curious, it naturally wasn’t proper to ask too many questions.
The seven Female Immortals then respectfully bowed and said, “Reporting to the Jade Emperor, we, your servants, following the decree of the Queen Mother of the West, went to the Peach Garden to pick Flat Peaches, but after picking them, they suddenly turned into walnuts!”
Having said their piece, they then stepped aside.
As lower-ranked Female Immortals tasked with picking Flat Peaches, something they had done for countless years, they had never experienced an incident like today’s.
Another Celestial Official stepped forward and began, “After the demon monkey destroyed the Peach Garden, he entered the Yaochi directly, disrupting the Peach Banquet, and ate up various jade liquor dews and celestial delicacies, even freezing and intoxicating the Yellow Turban Strongmen and all the Fairy Maidens of the Celestial Palace!”
Hearing this, many Orthodox Deities of the Celestial Court who had previously dealt with Sun Wukong couldn’t help but click their tongues secretly.
Sun Wukong was indeed a bit too disruptive; the Peach Banquet was different from other places as it was where the Queen Mother of the West hosted a gathering for other immortals.
With invitations sent every three thousand years to invite all Heavens’ Immortals and Buddhas and Ancient Hermits, it was the face of the Celestial Court, and it was no wonder the Jade Emperor was making such grand preparations this time.
Many more Celestial Officials stepped forward, detailing the losses this time in the Peach Garden and Yaochi.
The many Orthodox Deities of the Celestial Court, upon hearing these detailed reports, couldn’t help but click their tongues secretly again.
Li Jing had also been summoned to the Ninth Celestial Palace, and hearing the reports of the many Celestial Officials present, a smile couldn’t help but curve his lips.
He also sighed in relief.
He had tried every means possible to force Sun Wukong to comply, but each time ended in failure, and even the Martial Virtue Star Lord had not succeeded.
Unexpectedly, this time, Sun Wukong had actually complied on his own, saving him a lot of trouble.
But this time, Li Jing had learned how to be shrewd; he did not rush out immediately on his own but waited for the Jade Emperor to speak.
After all, the invitations for the Peach Banquet had already been sent out, and many Ancient Hermits and great powers of the Three Realms were also preparing to come; but now, with this incident occurring, it was a great loss to the dignity of the Celestial Court.
It was equivalent to disgracing the Celestial Court’s face in front of all the Immortals and Buddhas.
