Chapter 1777 Preaching at the Jade Emperor's Palace

Qingfeng stared in disbelief for a long while before lowering his voice to ask, "Master, what about my martial aunt?"

He had naturally met his martial aunt Deng Chanyu before, and had always thought she was very kind. He never expected that she could reach such a level.

Zhen Yuanzi looked at him very seriously: "Shut up, you should call him a sage."

"Yes, the Sage..." Qingfeng began, but couldn't continue. His original question was, "Did my martial uncle really attain sainthood?" Now, according to Zhen Yuanzi's request, the question became, "Did the Sage really become a saint?"

That's a really stupid question.

He stammered, unable to speak. Zhen Yuanzi ignored his disciple's petty thoughts, for he hadn't fallen so low as to need a disciple for comfort.

After mentally preparing himself, he decided to go and listen to the sermon immediately.

After Nuwa and the Three Pure Ones became saints, they all preached for varying numbers of days, following the precedent set by Hongjun in the past. This represents the selflessness of saints.

I have attained enlightenment, and I will show you the way. Those who have become saints first will help those who come after them to become saints. What a noble sentiment this is!

Just look at the Investiture of the Gods to see how a sage could possibly be selfless.

There shouldn't be too much scheming between people. Even saints are still within the realm of "humanity." They only want a good reputation and create a persona of being indifferent to fame and fortune and having lofty aspirations.

After I become a saint, I will block the road completely. Have you thought about that? Not even a hair will be able to get through!

After becoming a true sage, Lady Pingxin stopped preaching. She was frank: "I am a barbarian! I have selfish motives, so what? Don't even think about getting knowledge from me for free."

Now that Deng Chanyu is walking the path of a sage, according to custom, she must say something, and it must be correct. After the sermon, she must also answer some questions.

This was extremely valuable to Zhen Yuanzi.

Millions of years of arduous cultivation may not be as effective as a single word of guidance right now.

He made a quick decision: "Let's go and listen to the sermon!"
The Jade Emperor's Palace is located beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens, which limits the people who can listen to its teachings. Unless you reach the level of a Taiyi Golden Immortal, you cannot find the gate of the Jade Emperor's Palace.

Zhen Yuanzi calculated with his fingers that as a saint who controls the Great Dao of Space, Deng Chanyu could open up a vast space in the chaos with a thought. In terms of the ability to open up space, she was more skilled than Nuwa and the Three Pure Ones.

At this point, the location of the Jade Emperor Palace was no longer concealed. Zhen Yuanzi quickly calculated the direction, instructed Qingfeng and Mingyue to close the gate tightly, and then flicked his whisk and rode the clouds straight up to the sky.

Throughout the primordial world, there were many powerful individuals who shared the same idea.

They were overtaken by their junior, Deng Chanyu, and you think they were calm, happy, and satisfied? That's nonsense. But what else could they do but accept reality?

Since Deng Chanyu chose to serve as a Heavenly Sage, maintaining the order of the primordial world is her duty. Similarly, for the Heavenly Dao, providing protection at the crucial moment when the sage attains enlightenment is its obligation. Here, "it" refers to Hongjun.

Who could possibly keep it from Hongjun and then plot against a sage who was about to attain enlightenment? It's truly impossible.

After Deng Chanyu severed her three corpses, she was actually very safe. All the tests that the primordial world had put her through were over, and it was necessary to protect her in her path to enlightenment.

When Nuwa and the Three Pure Ones attained sainthood, they had no protectors around them, because they simply didn't need any.

With Hongjun secretly protecting them, no matter how many powerful people had ideas, it was useless. They could only adjust their mindset and go to see the sage with three parts expectation, seven parts curiosity, and ninety parts longing.

Having suffered such severe psychological trauma, they were determined to gain some knowledge in return. Xuandu, Guangchengzi, Jinling, and Zhao Gongming all rushed to the Jade Emperor's Palace.

Yunxiao went to Mount Emei during the first century after Deng Chanyu began the Three Corpses Merging, and never returned to the Three Immortals Island.

Old Zhao figured Yunxiao was probably going to take care of Fifth Sister. With the Sage's enlightenment imminent, he wouldn't have time for family matters, so it made perfect sense for his sister to go and help care for and teach Fifth Sister. Hmm, no need to worry.
In the past five hundred years, Sun Wukong has made up for a lot of his studies. He has read a lot of Taoist and Buddhist scriptures. He is no longer at the level of the crash course at Fangcun Mountain, where he graduated as a Golden Immortal in three years and as a Taiyi in five years. It is a bit difficult for a monkey to talk about metaphysics and Taoism, but he can still manage to say a few words if he insists.

Although Maitreya did not specifically target the pilgrimage team, the former Western Sect disciples considered the four of them to be from the "previous dynasty," and their sarcastic and mocking attitudes were predictable.

Pigsy and the Jade Rabbit had already run away; they weren't going to put up with this nonsense.

Sun Wukong's temper had subsided considerably compared to before, and with Tang Sanzang's persuasion, he managed to avoid causing a great disturbance at Mount Ling. However, he didn't return to Mount Ling and instead returned to Heaven as the Great Sage Equal to Heaven.

At this moment, he was wearing a golden chainmail, a phoenix-winged purple-gold crown, and lotus-silk cloud-walking shoes.

"A sage?" His eyes darted around. He had never seen a sage before, and since he had nothing better to do, he might as well go and take a look.

On his journey, he encountered the Great Emperor of the Eastern Pole, also known as the Taoist Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun.

During their journey to the West, the two sides officially met because of the emperor's mount, the Nine-Headed Lion. Over the past five hundred years, their relationship has been anything but deep; they have at least been acquainted.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!" Sun Wukong bowed and greeted from the clouds.

As one of the three thousand guests of Zixiao Palace in the past, Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun is definitely a senior figure in the primordial world.

He had long since given up hope; he had no hope whatsoever of attaining the Primordial Dao. While Zhen Yuanzi was still somewhat conflicted and anxious, he remained calm.

Whether it's Deng Chanyu or Xuandu who attains the Primordial Dao today, it makes no difference to him. He just needs to go, join the crowd, cheer a bit, and meet up with a bunch of old friends. That's enough for him.

He returned the greeting solemnly: "Great Sage, are you going to the Jade Emperor's Palace to listen to the Dao?"

"Indeed, indeed, I, Old Sun, am unfamiliar with the intricacies of this matter. I humbly request Your Majesty's guidance."

“Of course, of course. Great Sage, please come with me to the Jade Emperor’s Palace.”

"Thank you, Emperor!"

Jade Emperor Palace.

Deng Chanyu stretched and said, "Who awakens first from this great dream? I myself know my own life best."

Her efforts over nearly a century have finally borne fruit.

The Primordial Great Luo Dao Fruit gave her a different perspective on the world, transforming her from a wielder of the Great Dao of Space into its controller.

The endless secrets of the space unfolded before her eyes, but she glanced at them casually and didn't look at them much. They were all insignificant. With her current abilities, she could create an endless space.

No matter how many secrets there are, the past is the past. Her focus is on controlling the Great Dao in the present.

As her magic weapon for proving her Dao, the Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains Map brought her many benefits. At this time, it had reached the level of a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, just like Nuwa's Mountain and River Map.
