Jackie Chan Adventures: I have everything I need now

Tongtian and Nuwa hesitated.

Shen Du was not surprised.

After all, betraying Hongjun and then offering oneself up is practically walking into a trap!
In the primordial world, Hongjun couldn't do anything to the two of them, but what about the Zixiao Palace outside the chaos?!
That's hard to predict.

"Fellow Daoists, there is no need to worry. I will also be heading to Zixiao Palace."

"Not only that, all the Primordial Golden Immortals and Heavenly Saints of the entire Primordial World will go to Zixiao Palace."

"In addition, Houtu, the representative of the underground passage beneath the Nine Netherworlds, will also go to Zixiao Palace."

"With so many people, if Hongjun were to make a move against the two of you, it would likely cause discontent."

Hearing Shen Du's words, the two put aside their worries and nodded.

Although even the gods don't know how Hongjun persuaded the three ancestors of the dragon, phoenix, and qilin, as well as the dragon clan's Zhulong, to go to Zixiao Palace together.

However, at this moment, even the gods in the primordial world had sensed that the Three Ancestors and Zhulong had left their clan's territory and were heading towards the Zixiao Palace outside the chaos.

"Please go ahead, gentlemen. Chang Xi and I have some things to take care of, but we'll be there shortly."

He glanced at Chang Xi, and then, out of the corner of his eye, he saw Tongtian Nuwa, who seemed to want to wait for him to go with her, so he said these words.

"good!"

Tongtian and Nuwa thought for a moment, realizing that the young couple had something to discuss here, and that it was not appropriate for them, as outsiders, to interfere, so they flew towards Zixiao Palace.

After the two left, Chang Xi looked puzzled and asked, "Husband, is there anything I can help you with?"

Shen Du bent down and sat down next to Chang Xi, then embraced her, stroking the smooth texture of her hair. He whispered in her ear, "How about I give Xi'er the title of Saint of Humanity first?"

Upon hearing this, Chang Xi asked, "Is what you say true, my husband?"

Chang Xi thought that the gods would, like when they talked to Nuwa, wait until the sermon was over before handing over the holy position of humanity to her.

I didn't expect it to be so fast.

"Of course, I would never lie to Xi'er."

Shen Du spoke sincerely, and a golden light containing the power of humanity's origin gradually flowed from his fingertips, slowly transforming into a golden sphere that floated in mid-air.

"This is a wisp of the power of the origin of humanity. As long as Xi'er refines it, she can use the power of the origin of humanity to control the Great Dao of Yin, and thus become a Primordial Golden Immortal. After that, she can take over the position of the Sage of Humanity. What do you think?"

Chang Xi's eyes lit up as she looked at the golden sphere radiating light in front of her. Her bottleneck as a half-step Grand Luo Golden Immortal began to be slightly loosened.

"My husband is so good. From now on, I'll let you be on top."

Chang Xi spoke playfully, her voice like that of a young girl, teasing Shen Du.

Upon hearing this, Shen Du's face darkened, and his figure transformed into a streak of light, disappearing into the void and heading towards the chaotic world.

"Take care, my husband!"

Chang Xi waved her hand and said with a smile.

The gods stood in the void, looking at the mischievous Chang Xi, and were at a loss for what to do.

But she quickly recovered. This was Chang Xi's nature; she had just suppressed it for some reason.

Afterwards, Shen Du rushed to Zixiao Palace outside the Chaos to discuss important matters.

"..."

Zixiao Palace.

Hongjun sat above, and below him were the existing Heavenly Saints of the Primordial World: Zhunti, Jieyin, Laozi, and Yuanshi.

The Primordial Great Luo Golden Immortals of the Primordial World, the Tongtian Sect Master, the Goddess Nuwa, the Dragon Lord Zulong, the Second Ancestor of the Dragon Clan Zhulong, the Phoenix Lord Yuanfeng, and the Qilin Lord Shiqilin all gathered here.

The only missing figures are Shen Du, the representative of humanity, and Hou Tu, the representative of the earth.

"What does the Great Calamity of Journey to the West have to do with my Dragon Clan? You bald monk, stop spouting nonsense!"

Zulong spoke, his disdainful gaze sweeping over Jieyin and Zhunti.

The mere Journey to the West calamity is hardly worthy of the Dragon Clan's cooperation; it's utterly delusional.

“Fellow Daoist Zulong, you can’t do this.” Zhunti was about to speak up in his defense.

"Humph!"

Zu Long snorted coldly, interrupting him directly, and uttered extremely domineering words.

"You dare call me 'Fellow Daoist'? When my Dragon Clan dominated the prehistoric world, you were probably hiding in some remote corner!"

"Now, do you even deserve to call me Fellow Daoist? Don't you feel ashamed?!"

"I, your ancestor, have attained enlightenment through the laws of water. The great way of water encompasses all things, both gentle and turbulent. It can stir up towering waves and suppress you two bald monks with a mere wave of my hand!"

Faced with such a rude rebuke from the First Emperor, Zhunti and Jieyin could only suffer in silence.

The strength of this Ancestral Dragon is definitely among the top ranks of the Primordial Grand Luo Golden Immortals. Even if he had just achieved the Primordial Grand Luo Golden Immortal status, suppressing the two of them would be a piece of cake.

Not to mention, there's also Zhulong nearby, a Primordial Golden Immortal who governs the laws of time.

"okay!"

"Fellow Daoist Zulong, why be so aggressive!"

"I invited your three clans to Zixiao Palace to discuss the matter of the resentment of the three thousand demon gods, not to allow you to bully the weak."

As soon as Hongjun spoke, the First Emperor turned around and stopped angrily criticizing and belittling Zhunti and Jieyin.

At this moment, a faint light appeared, and Houtu arrived at Zixiao Palace, followed closely by Shendu, which had set off from Taiyin Star.

The two only glanced at each other before Hongjun said, "Fellow Daoists, please."

He gestured to the two of them with his eyes, and there were already two other prayer mats placed next to his.

Seeing this, the two paused for a moment, and after checking that there were no ulterior motives, they sat down on the prayer mat.

"Hongjun, I have arrived. Now, let me tell you about your so-called Journey to the West."

Houtu got straight to the point as soon as she opened her mouth.

Seeing this, Hongjun Laozu smiled slightly and turned to look at Zhunti and Jieyin, "You can tell your matters to everyone present!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the sages and the Great Golden Immortals of Hunyuan all turned their gazes to Zhunti and Jieyin.

Zhunti, shameless as ever, said, "Gentlemen, this Journey to the West calamity is ordained by Heaven itself..."

"Ok?"

At this moment, Shen Du's sudden interruption caused Zhun Ti to stop speaking abruptly.

“Fellow Daoist Hongjun, I seem to remember that what you said before was not like this.”

"Isn't the Journey to the West supposed to suppress and dissipate the resentment of three thousand demon gods and prevent the Beast King Shenni from being reborn?!"

"Why has it now become the Heavenly Tribulation of the Journey to the West?"

Perhaps Hongjun realized that he hadn't told Zhunti and Jieyin the core stories of Journey to the West.

He casually remarked, "The two Western Saints are unaware of this."

"In that case, the Journey to the West is indeed a great undertaking to quell the resentment of the three thousand demons. What do you two think?"

After saying that, he turned the topic back to Houtu in the capital.

Upon hearing this, Shen Du's brow furrowed slightly. After a moment's thought, he nonchalantly spread his hands, "I don't know how to proceed with this Journey to the West!"

Upon hearing this, Houtu said in a slightly cold voice, "How can my Nine Netherworld Reincarnation allow a monkey to run wild?"

"No matter what, no unauthorized persons are allowed to trespass into the Nine Netherworld!"

As she spoke, Houtu suddenly seemed to remember something, and turned her cold gaze to Zhunti and Jieyin, "Your disciple Ksitigarbha, after the discussion at Zixiao Palace is over, come quickly to the entrance of the Nine Netherworld and take him back!"

"Otherwise, I will throw him into the eighteenth level of hell."

Upon hearing these words, Zhunti and Jieyin nodded repeatedly.

"If he hadn't caused a great disturbance in the Netherworld, the Dragon Palace, and the Heavenly Palace, how could he have spread his fame and shaken the world and all living beings?"

"This journey to the West is not something an ordinary monkey can participate in."

Hongjun spoke calmly, as if victory was assured.

"what?"

"A monkey dares to wreak havoc in the Dragon Palace?!"

The First Emperor glared, his anger flaring.

He's back! How dare a mere monkey cause trouble in the Dragon Palace?!
Isn't this a slap in the face to the dragon race?!
Upon hearing this, Hongjun said calmly, "Fellow Daoist Zulong, this is destiny. The Spiritual Stone Monkey's rampage in the Dragon Palace marked the beginning of his fame, but it ended in the Heavenly Palace!"

At this point, Hongjun thought of something else.

He continued, "In the past, your three races fought a great war, all for the sake of vying for the position of the protagonist of heaven and earth!"

"The eternal protagonist of heaven and earth has now been determined, and that is the human race. However, since the Great Dao governs the primordial world, the human race's position as the eternal protagonist of heaven and earth has been stripped!" "In the present primordial world, there is no fixed protagonist, only destiny!"

"In the Journey to the West, the Heavenly Dao has spoken to me: to extinguish the resentment of three thousand demons, the Great Dao is willing to grant us Great Dao merit. What do you think of this?!"

After Hongjun said these words, the First Emperor calmed down instantly.

All the Grand Luo Golden Immortals looked towards Houtu in the Divine Capital, their gazes seeming to ask if these words were true.

Even the gods were dumbfounded.

How could he not know that after his journey to the West, the Great Dao would reward him for his merits?
After some thought, he closed his eyes and used the Kongtong Seal, a treasure of humanity, to communicate with humanity.

Houtu, standing to the side, did the same, using the Six Paths Reincarnation Disc, a supreme treasure of the Nine Netherworlds, a treasure once belonging to the reincarnation demon god, which was of the Chaos Spiritual Treasure rank, to connect with the underground passage.

After a long while, Shen Du opened his eyes, revealing a look of shock and speechlessness.

On the human side, just as Hongjun said, the resentment of the three thousand demon gods in the prehistoric world was dispelled, and the Great Dao was willing to reward the Great Dao for its merits.

Even the gods asked about this matter, so why didn't humans dare to speak about it?

He said that he had been busy integrating the power and fortune of all living beings in the world and had no time to tell him about this.

This left even the gods speechless.

She never tells him anything; he has to ask her himself.

At this moment, even God felt that humanity was like a child who had just woken up and was constantly sleeping, completely unreliable.

Later, Tu mainly learned this through the tunnels.

Since the protagonist of the Journey to the West: Great Calamity wants to wreak havoc in the Netherworld, then we can set up an illusion array to make the opponent cause chaos in the Netherworld within the illusion array.

It neither diminishes the majesty of the Nine Netherworlds nor diminishes the prestige of the protagonist of the Great Tribulation.

As for matters that are considered humane, genuine, and far from ideal, they are often half-hearted.

Both the gods and Houtu already had their answers.

Now, both the Earthly Path and the Human Path are busy gathering their own power. The Earthly Path and the Human Path have been suppressed for too long, and their power is unstable, far inferior to that of the Heavenly Path. They need time to stabilize.

"Fellow Daoists, how can we sever ties?!"

"What I mean is, to proceed according to the calamity ordained by Heaven!"

Hongjun said slowly.

"good!"

"Can!"

The goddesses of the capital nodded in agreement.

"Gentlemen, do you have any further questions?"

Hongjun turned his gaze to the three ancestors of dragon, phoenix, and qilin below.

At this moment, Zhunti and Jieyin thought that this matter was over and that they could travel to the West in peace and let Buddhism flourish. But the voice of the First Emperor of the Han Dynasty echoed through the heavens.

"I agree to this matter. Ao Guang has spoken to me about it. But what is the meaning of my dragon clan, specifically the Third Prince of the West Sea, Ao Lie, being the mount for the Journey to the West?"

"This...this..."

Zhunti and Jieyin hesitated, their voices broken and hesitant.

The person had been chosen long ago, but this unexpected incident happened.

Who could have predicted that the First Emperor would achieve the Great Golden Immortal status?

Their Buddhist sect lacked one of the Eight Heavenly Dragons, so they specifically chose the Dragon Clan.

Unexpectedly, this has led to the current situation.

“Fellow Daoist Zulong, if you are unwilling, I can politely decline on behalf of Zhunti Jieyin.”

At this moment, Hongjun resolved the awkward situation.

"It's not that I'm unwilling!"

"They simply don't want my dragon race to become mounts!"

Zu Long arrogantly turned his head away.

"If that's the case, then the Third Prince of the Western Sea will become the second disciple of the pilgrim, shall we?"

Hongjun had already given them enough face, so Zulong naturally agreed.

"In that case, I'll leave the matter of the Journey to the West to you all."

Hongjun, who had just finished dealing with this troublesome matter, was about to leave the stage.

Just then, Shen Du intervened, his deep voice slowly echoing in everyone's minds.

"This Journey to the West calamity is, in essence, a great calamity."

"The current primordial world far surpasses the previous Three Realms!"

"The eighty-one tribulations are not something to be taken lightly, like playing house!"

"We need to re-plan the selection of those to be afflicted in this calamity."

"Oh, I wonder what Fellow Daoist Shen Du's opinion is?!" Hongjun's eyes narrowed slightly.

“Re-categorize those who were originally victims of the calamity.”

"I haven't accumulated any merit from the Great Dao, that's a bit unfair."

God spoke meaningfully.

A wisp of light traced across my fingertips, transforming into the entire Journey to the West.

He pointed to nine places.

"I, a human being, need nine tribulations; you may choose the rest yourselves."

These words immediately piqued Houtu's interest.

She originally intended to only receive the Great Dao Merit from the protagonist's fame during the Great Tribulation, but she never expected such a good thing to happen.

He immediately declared, "I, the Earth Path, will face eleven tribulations!"

Shendu and Houtu directly account for 20 of the 81 tribulations.

The original Journey to the West tribulations, which were merely a formality, have been transformed into a new form.

As for which demon to release, that depends on the decision of both parties.

"Can!"

Hongjun nodded.

"My Dragon Clan"

"My Phoenix Clan"

"I am a member of the Qilin clan."

"My father"

"..."

For a time, in the Zixiao Palace, talk of dividing up the merits of the Great Dao in the Journey to the West was rampant.

Finally, the distribution of the Great Dao merits of the Great Tribulation came to an end.

The gods are afflicted by nine great calamities.

Houtu was responsible for eleven calamities.

Tongtian, Nuwa, Laozi, Yuanshi, Zulong, Yuanfeng, and Shiqilin occupy seven calamity merits.

The most pitiful are Cundi and Jieyin.

Both of them are in the West, and together they occupy five calamities of merit.

However, since each tribulation experienced by the pilgrims would grant them a wisp of great merit, even if we round it up, Zhunti and Jieyin would still have a little more than Yuanshi and Tongtian.

The Journey to the West tribulations have been redesigned; it's no longer a child's game.

The Bodhisattva Guanyin, the Buddha Duobao, and others who were inside the Mahavira Hall had thought they would get a share of the spoils, but they had no idea that they wouldn't even get a share.

No, perhaps I can get a tiny bit of merit.

After all, some of the dirty and tiring work in Journey to the West still had to be done by them.

Soon, after discussing the calamity, everyone dispersed.
