From Joy of Life, the Tian Gang is reversed

Chapter 319 Little Wild Dragon, How Laughable!

The Jade Terrace and Jade Steps were shrouded in mist. The Jade Emperor, who had just finished his court session, stood atop the ninefold heavens with his hands behind his back, his sleeves billowing like clouds. As far as the eye could see, countless stars, like nectar poured from the depths of the sky, overflowed.

He didn't like the Queen Mother, but he liked this place.

Every day after court, or when he was feeling down, he would come here to stand for a while to relax his tense nerves.

Why do you think the Jade Emperor is troubled?

There's nothing I can do; there are just too many upsetting things happening.

The Heavenly Court today seems to be the ruler of the Three Realms, especially since the Investiture of the Gods, when the generals of the Shang and Zhou dynasties and the immortals of the Jie Sect were listed on the Investiture of the Gods, greatly enriching the power of the Heavenly Court. However, the more people there are, the more things there are to do, and the more things there are to worry about.

Putting aside other things, let's take the Journey to the West project as an example. On the surface, it seems like a simple matter, but in reality, it involves so many people, energy, and, most importantly, interests!

The plan started five hundred years ago and has now taken shape. Do you really think the monkey was suppressed for five hundred years because of a mistake?
It's because everyone has been fighting for their own interests for five hundred years!
Putting everything else aside, even someone of Zhen Yuanzi's caliber only got a minor role in this game, and how he played that minor role required careful planning. It's just so exhausting!

Of course, Journey to the West is just a project. Once the project is running, there is not much to worry about. What really tires him out is the current situation in the Three Realms!

For the sake of stability in the Three Realms, the Heavenly Court has established a system that is almost perfect. However, even the most perfect system still needs people to implement it. It was thought that although immortals are also human, they should be stronger than ordinary mortals in terms of spiritual realm, and should be more efficient in implementing the system than mortals. But what is the reality?
He overlooked a crucial fact: the nepotism among immortals far surpasses that of mortals!

Immortals live much longer than ordinary people, and their relationships are far more complex, especially those who establish their own sects and have extensive networks. Immortals are still human, and they too are subject to human relationships, so…

Whenever he thought about these things, the Jade Emperor felt a headache coming on. Sometimes, he wished he could launch a massive purge. How could he possibly govern the Three Realms while surrounded by these maggots?!

At this point, he was already starting to regret accepting the position of Heavenly Emperor. He wished he could just throw himself into the sea of ​​stars, wander through the chaos, find a few guys he didn't like, and beat them up, and then... nothing happened.

Venus rushed into the Jade Terrace like a madman, crying out, "Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! Something terrible has happened...!"

The Jade Emperor felt a pang of annoyance and suddenly turned around to glare at Venus. But when he saw Venus's anxious expression, his heart skipped a beat.

This is going to be a huge disaster!!

Otherwise, given Venus's personality, she wouldn't have lost her composure like that.
"What's the matter?!"

"The son of the Jing River Dragon King, Little Crocodile, carried the imperial edict of the Tang Emperor and became Tang Sanzang's bodyguard. Sanzang even took him as his disciple."

"what?!"

The Jade Emperor's breath hitched, and he felt completely disoriented.

But then Venus said something that completely stunned him.

"The Jing River Dragon King Ao Qian clashed with the West Sea Dragon King, freezing the West Sea!"

——I am the dividing line——

Time, let's turn back a little.

Ao Qian left the Dongyue Emperor Temple cursing and returned to the Jinghe Dragon Palace. Two days later, Prince Moang of the West Sea hurriedly arrived at the Jinghe Dragon Palace, carrying an imperial decree from Ao Run, the Dragon King of the West Sea, ordering him to go to the West Sea immediately.

Can a mere Dragon King of the West Sea issue a decree?
You know what, even though the dragon race is currently experiencing bad luck, its position among all aquatic creatures is still unshakeable. They can truly issue decrees to all aquatic creatures in the world.

Of course, whether or not they listen depends on how strong the aquatic tribe's influence is. Ao Qian knew that the Western Sea had learned about Tuo Jie's joining the Journey to the West.

After all, although Tang Sanzang appeared to be alone, he was actually surrounded by many people.

Tuo Jie joining the pilgrimage team, being the first to join, is no small matter. Not only will the Heavenly Court and Mount Ling know immediately, but because of Tuo Jie's identity, the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas will also know.

He even maliciously speculated that the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas might go directly to Tuo Jie and kidnap him in front of Tang Sanzang.
Of course, this is just malicious speculation. Obviously, the Dragon Palace of the Four Seas would not do such a thing in front of Tang Sanzang; it would be too unseemly.

However, it would be more appropriate for me, as the father, to kidnap him and bring him back.

So he didn't say anything and followed Moang to the Western Sea.

"Uncle, the matter of Tuojie is probably quite inappropriate. Father was furious. I'm afraid...!"

On the way, looking at Ao Qian's calm and collected expression, Mo Ang couldn't help but feel a little worried. Although he didn't know enough about the truth of the journey to the West Sea from his identity, he could tell from the West Sea Dragon King's furious attitude that this matter was even more serious than his aunt's offense against Heaven. This time, he, as the uncle, would probably suffer a great deal of trouble.

"Moang, do you want to be the Dragon King of the West Sea?!"

"what?!"

"Huh? What?" Ao Qian looked at Mo Ang, who was completely bewildered by his question, and said, "You are the Crown Prince of the Western Sea. As a crown prince, don't you want to advance further?!"

"Uncle, what are you saying... You can't just say things like that. I, I didn't have such intentions..." Moang's dark face was almost pale with fright.

This is not something you should mention.

The Crown Prince wants to advance further.

But that's the attitude of humans. Humans have short lifespans, so they do everything in a hurry. But he's a dragon. Most of the time, "Crown Prince" is just a title of respect. Didn't you see that besides him, the eldest prince, there are also the second and third princes?

To put it bluntly, it's just a title that indicates your status.

Succession? Forget about it!

His strength and cultivation level are not as good as his own father's, and he might not even live as long as his father, so what's the point of talking about advancing further?

"I'm not joking. Today I might have to fight your father. If you're interested, I'll go all out. If not, I'll go easy on you. Of all my brothers, you're the one I like the most. Do you want to or not? Just say the word!"

"No way!" Moang answered decisively, wondering if his uncle had lost his mind. Yes, his aunt had ruined things, and this uncle had been traumatized and really gone mad!
Because the topic was a bit sensitive, Moang didn't dare to say much to his crazy uncle along the way. They arrived at the West Sea in silence. As soon as they stepped into the Dragon Palace, they heard a "whoosh" and a vase as tall as a person was smashed towards Ao Qian.

"Snapped!!"

Ao Qian's face darkened. He didn't dodge, but simply raised his hand and smashed the flying vase. Looking at Ao Run, the Dragon King of the West Sea, who was standing angrily on the steps, he said unhappily, "Dragon King, what is the meaning of this?!"

"Dragon King? You still know I'm the Dragon King? I think you've gone mad! You dare to do anything, you have some nerve!"

Ao Run roared angrily, "You lowly wild dragon, of such lowly birth, dare to meddle in the affairs of heaven and earth? You truly do not know the immensity of heaven and earth! Guards, seize this scoundrel and throw him into prison. Tomorrow we will send him to the Heavenly Court to be punished!"
