Honghuang: I am Qitian and I want to fight for the throne

Chapter 323: Borrowing the Peach to Use the Supreme to Refine the Monkey

Ever since he traveled across time and space and became a monkey, Qi Tian has had a special liking for the fairy fruit.

In order to satisfy his appetite, he had exchanged the earth-based treasure Xirang with Zhen Yuanzi for a large amount of ginseng fruit.

Although it is also beneficial for recovering from injuries, it is mostly out of greed.

Now it's Tao, and he's even more itchy.

heaven.

After Li Jing led a group of heavenly soldiers and generals to withdraw from the lower world back to heaven, he went straight to the Lingxiao Palace to report.

"Your Majesty, I was ordered to descend to the mortal world to subdue the demon. However, the demon monkey was so powerful that we were defeated and retreated. I beg Your Majesty to send more heavenly generals to help me. I will definitely be able to suppress the demon monkey."

"what?"

The Jade Emperor was immediately shocked, and then angrily asked:
"All 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals were defeated? What do you do for a living? How powerful can a mere demon monkey be? And you even want me to send more heavenly generals?"

"Your Majesty, calm down!"

Li Jing's face was filled with fear, and he explained anxiously:

"It's not your fault. I don't know where that demon monkey got his amazing magical powers and learned to be immortal. He first killed the giant spirit with a stick, and then defeated my son Nezha. His skills are really too strong. He killed the golden immortals like ants and killed Taiyi like a chicken egg. I don't want my heaven to suffer too much loss, so I came back to ask for help!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the Lingxiao Palace instantly fell into a strange silence.

After the numerous immortal officials and generals looked at each other, an indescribable strange expression appeared on their faces.

This Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li Jing is really good at making up stories!
You know, everyone saw Sun Wukong with their own eyes.

Although he had reached the level of Golden Immortal and had killed Wu Qu Xing Jun, who was in the early stage of Tai Yi Golden Immortal, any discerning person could see that the killing was purely a sneak attack when the enemy was off guard.

After all, who could have expected that this monkey would be so bold as to suddenly attack in the Lingxiao Palace?
Even if he now kills the giant spirit who is also in the early stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal, it must not be a truly fair fight.

Most likely, he relies on the power of the top-grade innate spiritual treasure-level spiritual stick in his hand.

As for defeating the great god Nezha of the Three Altars and Sea Assembly
This is obviously a lie!

As we all know, Nezha not only possesses several innate spiritual treasures, but his own cultivation has also reached the peak of Taiyi Golden Immortal.

If you think a little, you can understand that this was most likely done intentionally by Nezha, who was just pretending to be defeated and admitting defeat.

At this moment, after hearing what Li Jing said, those who didn’t know would think that it was not a Golden Immortal, but a Daluo Golden Immortal!
but,

Although all the immortals present knew clearly in their hearts that Li Jing was just exaggerating his words, no one was stupid enough to step forward and expose him.

Didn’t you see that the Jade Emperor was also acting?

"Your Majesty, the demon king Sun Wukong is arrogant and speaks wildly, claiming that if the Heavenly Court does not want to suffer from war, he must be named the Great Sage Equaling Heaven. He also said that if the Heavenly Court refuses to agree, he will lead all the demons to attack the Lingxiao Palace and make the Heavenly Court never peaceful!"

Li Jing also knew that the Jade Emperor was not really angry, so he did not feel panicked.

Then he repeated what Sun Wukong had said before.

"How dare you be so presumptuous!"

Haotian was furious, his eyes wide open:

"A mere little demon monkey is so ignorant of the depths of heaven and earth that he dares to openly threaten our great Heaven. He is so arrogant! Among all the immortals and gods, is there anyone who dares to follow Li Tianwang down to the mortal world to subdue this evildoer and enhance the supreme power of our Heaven?"

however,
When Haotian finished speaking, the huge Lingxiao Palace became extremely silent.

It’s not to say that none of the immortals present could subdue the demon monkey.

This is because people are not very clear about what kind of mystery and conspiracy is hidden in it.

If you rashly get involved in this dispute, and if you misunderstand your superiors' intentions or accidentally mess up your job, it would be a waste of time and effort.

As for those few immortals who know some inside information, most of them have powerful forces backing them, and they are not on the same page with Haotian.

At this moment, I can't wait to see the show.

Seeing that the atmosphere in the hall was becoming more and more weird and was about to become a cold place, at the critical moment, Taibai Jinxing quickly appeared again.

Bowing respectfully to the Jade Emperor:

"Your Majesty, I have something to say!"

Haotian glanced coldly at the immortals in the Lingxiao Palace, and then said to Taibai Jinxing:
"Say!"

"Your Majesty, although the demon monkey is arrogant, he is originally from the wilderness of the lower world. He does not know etiquette and does not know the difference between the great and the small. Our Heavenly Court is the most powerful of the three realms and holds the authority of the three realms. Going to war with a small demon shows that our Heavenly Court has no magnanimity and damages our dignity."

Taibai Jinxing talked freely, not caring about the looks of his colleagues around him:

"Your Majesty, why don't you show your grace and confer him the title of Great Sage Equaling Heaven? As long as you don't manage his affairs, and let him have an official position without salary, a title without substance. This will not only make him disgusted, but also show the benevolence of our Heavenly Court and convince other creatures. Isn't it wonderful!"

"..."

Although the immortal officials and heavenly generals looked at him with disdain, they couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration in their hearts when they saw Taibai Jinxing, who was serious and calm.

He deserves to be the most favored person in front of the Jade Emperor.

What a thick skin!

Look at this skill of telling lies with open eyes, it is so superb that no one can match it.

With such a thick skin, even the Golden Immortal might not be able to break it.

As for Haotian,

Although he was quite satisfied with Taibai Jinxing's cleverness and tacit cooperation, when he noticed the strange looks from other immortals around him, he couldn't help but cough lightly and said:
"In that case, let's do as you say. You are more familiar with the demon monkey, so I'll leave this matter to you."

"The minister obeys the order!"

Taibai Jinxing bowed solemnly and accepted the order, then turned around and walked out of the South Heaven Gate, riding a cloud straight to the Flower-Fruit Mountain.

Heaven, inside the Yaochi.

Yao Chi looked at Haotian in front of her, her pretty face full of anxiety and worry:

"Brother, have you really made up your mind? If something goes wrong... We have our master to back us up, so you really don't need to take such risks. Just take it slow and it will work..."

However, before she could finish, Haotian interrupted her and said with a firm look:
"Junior sister, no need to say more! I have made up my mind!"

Yao Chi looked worried: "But."

"No buts!"

Haotian interrupted Yao Chi again, and then explained softly:

"Junior sister, I understand your worries. I also know that with the Taoist Master here, we don't have to be so anxious. However, if we practice slowly, I'm afraid that we won't be able to break through even after several kalpas. I really can't wait that long. Those saints are always..."

Speaking of which,
Haotian paused before continuing:

"My cultivation has now reached the peak of Quasi-Saint, and I have comprehended 29% of the laws. I have encountered bottlenecks. Only by severing the Dao and becoming a mortal can I break through 100% of my cultivation in a short period of time. As long as I break through 30% of the laws and possess the combat power of a saint, then my Heavenly Court will not be suppressed by those saints!"

"I, Haotian, want to be the true Emperor of Heaven!"

Looking at Haotian's extremely determined and ambitious eyes, Yao Chi opened her mouth, but ultimately did not try to dissuade him.

Seeing this, Haotian also changed the subject:
"Junior sister, how long will it take for your peaches to mature?"

"Within a hundred years!"

Yao Chi replied, and then asked curiously: "Why are you asking this, Senior Brother?" Haotian hesitated for a moment before speaking:

"Well, I made a deal with the Buddhist sect. They help me protect the Dao, and I help them improve the cultivation of the Son of Fortune in this calamity. So I need to lend you the peaches."

"Oh~ that stone monkey."

Yao Chi understood, and then smiled and said:
"In fact, there is no need to wait for the peaches to ripen. I still have a lot of peaches from previous years, and they have the same efficacy."

Saying,

He took out a jade box and handed it to Haotian:
"Here are three top-grade peaches that ripen once every nine thousand years. They are enough to elevate the stone monkey's cultivation to the level of Taiyi Golden Immortal!"

however,
Haotian did not answer, but smacked his lips and said:
“A little less!”

Yao Chi was slightly stunned, then took out another large jade box:
"Here are nine more!"

"Cough cough."

Haotian coughed dryly and shook his head: "It's still not enough!"

"."

Yao Chi raised her eyebrows slightly, but did not ask anything. Instead, she waved her hand and hundreds of jade boxes appeared again:
"These are all the peaches I have, more than 2,000!"

just,

Haotian still shook his head.

Yao Chi was really confused now, and frowned and asked doubtfully:
"Brother, these peaches ripen once every nine thousand years, and thousands of Taiyi Golden Immortals can be cultivated. Even if the stone monkey is the son of destiny, with extraordinary talent and a strong foundation, he won't need so many. Moreover, there are only nine peaches at most, and then the peaches will have no effect!"

"That. I know! I want to."

Haotian pursed his lips a little awkwardly, and finally gritted his teeth and said:
"I want him to manage the Peach Garden!"

"what?"

Yao Chi's voice suddenly became sharp, her beautiful eyes widened, and she looked at Haotian in disbelief:

"Let the monkey take care of the peach garden? Brother, do you want him to ruin all my peaches?"

"Cough cough~"

Haotian coughed again:
"Actually, I just want him to cause a big commotion in Peach Garden!"

"."

After hearing this, Yao Chi's eyes suddenly fixed and she stared at Haotian dimly.

Haotian felt embarrassed when being looked at, and explained:
"Junior sister, my deal with the Buddhist sect is not only to improve the cultivation of the Son of Luck, but also to find a good excuse to suppress him. I need his luck. Only the luck of the Son of Luck can help me perfectly slay the Dao and become a mortal, increasing my chances of success."

After listening to Haotian's explanation, Yao Chi finally felt relieved.

But there are still some dissatisfactions:
"Why go to all that trouble? He's just a lucky guy. Wouldn't it be better to just suppress him and take his luck?"

“If only it were that simple!”

Haotian shook his head:

"After all, he is the son of destiny of this calamity, and he is favored by the great trend of heaven and earth. Moreover, this is related to the prosperity of the West. If I attack him without any reason, it will definitely cause countless troubles. Now, it happens that the Buddhist sect has a plan, and I just need to cooperate with them and let them take action first. I will take advantage of the situation and cooperate with them."

Hearing this,

Although Yao Chi was still unhappy, she did not refuse.

"Okay, but only for the peaches. If anyone damages the tree, I won't forgive him no matter if he is the son of destiny or not."

"Don't worry! I know what to do!"

Dongsheng Shenzhou, Huaguo Mountain, inside the Water Curtain Cave.

Sun Wukong, Qi Tian's clone, was sitting on the throne, looking at Taibai Jinxing below with a fake smile:
"Who am I thinking? Isn't this Taibai Jinxing? You tricked me into becoming a high-ranking official, but you turned out to be just a mere Wu Qu Xingjun, not even worthy of a title. How dare you come here? Do you really think I dare not kill you?"

Hearing this,

Taibai Jinxing immediately smiled and said:
"Great Sage, please forgive me. I am here to apologize to you!"

Speaking of which,
Taibai Jinxing smiled bitterly again:
"Great Sage, to be honest, I had no choice but to do this. I am only an official in the Heavenly Court, and I have no power to change what is arranged by the higher-ups. I did not mean to deceive you."

"is it?"

Qi Tian did not comment: "Then I, Old Sun, have wrongly accused you? What are you doing here now?"

"Don't dare!"

Taibai Jinxing even said he dared not, then said seriously:
"Great Sage, I have actually been helping you mediate during this period. Last time, you used your divine power to repel Li Tianwang and the Third Prince, and the Jade Emperor was extremely furious. He wanted to send another army, but I risked my life to persuade him, and that’s how the Jade Emperor avoided the war. This time, I came here to ask you to ascend to heaven and be conferred the title of ‘Great Sage Equaling Heaven’!"

"really?"

Qi Tian immediately showed a look of disbelief: "Can the Jade Emperor be so kind?"

Taibai Jinxing nodded heavily
"It is absolutely true! I can guarantee it with my own reputation. I would never dare to deceive the Great Sage!"

Hearing this,

Qi Tian said disdainfully:
"You have lost your credibility in front of me, Sun. However, since you are so respectful, I can accompany you to the Heaven Palace again. But I have to say this: if you deceive me again, I will kill you before I overturn the Heaven Palace!"

Hearing this, Taibai Jinxing didn't know what he was thinking of. His eyelids twitched, and then he laughed awkwardly:
"I wouldn't dare! I wouldn't dare!"

Subsequently,

Qi Tian once again gave instructions to the group of monsters below, and ignoring their dissatisfaction and complaints, he and Taibai Jinxing rode on the cloud towards the heaven.

Everything fell into place after that.

Qi Tian was officially conferred the title of the Great Sage Equaling Heaven and awarded the Great Sage Palace.

For this,

Qi Tian deliberately acted very arrogant.

Once again, he wandered around the heavenly palace and met friends.

The Three Great Officials, the Ten Directions Heavenly Lords, the Four Heavenly Masters, the Heavenly Kings, and the Twenty-Eight Constellations

There are also Jiuyao, Gongcao, and so on.

No matter how big or small he is, whenever he sees one, he will ask them to address him as "The Great Sage Equaling Heaven" with pride!
The immortal officials and heavenly generals smiled at each other on the surface, but they were extremely dissatisfied in their hearts.

But it didn't show.

of course,

Naturally, Qi Tian did not miss the clones of the Three Pure Ones. He went for a walk again, but still did not see anyone.

Tushita Palace.

Taishang Laojun was refining the elixir. When he noticed the figure leaving the palace, he said disdainfully:

"Humph, a mere wild monkey actually dared to disrespect this Saint. If I didn't need you to cooperate with Duobao's plan, this Saint would have plucked your hair and skinned you and made you into pills."

Speaking of which,
Taishang Laojun's eyes flashed coldly, looking at the alchemy furnace in front of him, muttering:
"However, this is also prepared for you. Although I cannot refine you into a pill, I will help you refine your body. The top-grade foundation given to you by the Heavenly Dao is a bit too high, and the middle-grade foundation is enough! Otherwise, Duobao's hidden chess may not be able to suppress you."
