Jackie Chan Adventures: I have everything I need now

"There is a way."

After a moment of contemplation, Shen Du's eyes gleamed with intelligence.

"Brother Dao, what's the plan?"

Tongtian's face lit up with joy. As the leader of the Jie Sect, he was deeply distressed that his disciples were controlled by others and their cultivation could not advance even an inch.

After all, the Jie Sect was his creation, and he regarded his eight direct disciples as his children. Now that they were under someone else's control, if he did not rescue them, he, Shangqing Tongtian, would be unworthy of being called a master.

"Fellow Daoist Tongtian, please calm down."

After calmly offering a reassuring remark, the god closed his eyes and communicated with Nuwa, who was currently residing in Nuwa's Heaven, via a telepathic message.

"Fellow Daoist Nuwa, I hope you will come to Taiyin Star. I have something to ask of you."

Lying leisurely on her cloud bed, Nuwa was stunned when she heard the words of the gods.

But it happened in an instant. She realized what was happening, and although she was slightly puzzled, she didn't question it much. After getting up, she took a step and disappeared into the void.

A moment later, Nuwa traced the cause and effect to the Taiyin Star, in the back garden of the Moon Palace.

A sage of the Heavenly Dao can travel to every corner of the primordial world in the blink of an eye.

The same applies to the Primordial Golden Immortals, except that their speed is somewhat slower.

But ultimately, one can reach it with a single thought.

"Fellow Daoist Tongtian, what are you doing here?"

As soon as Nuwa arrived, she saw Tongtian's figure, paused for a moment, and then asked softly.

"Brother Shen Du, is there anything I can help you with?"

"I must come in person."

After asking Tongtian, Nuwa turned her gaze to the capital city.

“Fellow Daoist Nuwa, I summoned you here solely because of Fellow Daoist Tongtian,” Shendu explained.

"Fellow Daoist Tongtian is troubled by his own disciple, who is trapped in the Investiture of the Gods and controlled by others. He has come to visit me to ask if there is any way to free the disciples of the Jie Sect from the Investiture of the Gods."

"I thought of your demon-summoning banner, which might be similar in nature to the Investiture of the Gods."

As she spoke these words, Nuwa's expression changed, and her eyes looked at Tongtian with surprise.

Back then, as sages of the Heavenly Dao, they had tried to free the primordial spirits bound by the Investiture of the Gods, but to no avail.

After all, they are blessed by the power of the Heavenly Dao. As Heavenly Dao Saints, how could they possibly defeat the Heavenly Dao?

Now, even a Primordial Golden Immortal without the blessing of the Heavenly Dao cannot achieve this.

With the Demon-Summoning Banner and a thorough understanding of the principles of the Investiture of the Gods, one can shatter the Investiture of the Gods simply by possessing great power.

But how could they possibly break the power of Heaven's will?!

For example, her Demon-Summoning Banner was stopped by others. If they wanted to release a wisp of the demon's primordial spirit from it, they had to break her Nuwa's magic power; otherwise, no matter how much they tried, it would be in vain.

“Fellow Daoist Tongtian, when we were Heavenly Dao Saints, we were with Zhunti, Jieyin, Laozi, and Yuanshi, the four Heavenly Dao Saints.”

"I tried to probe the details of the Investiture of the Gods in the Jade Void Palace on Kunlun Mountain, but it was all in vain. Why are you so persistent about this?"

"The Dao Ancestor is the spokesperson of the Heavenly Dao. His strength is far above that of the Heavenly Dao Saints. You and I cannot contend with him."

As she spoke, Nuwa seemed to drift into memories, but soon, she caught a glimpse of Shendu beside her and suddenly realized something.

“Brother Shendu, although you are the spokesperson for humanity, humanity has only been revived for a short time, and its power is probably far inferior to that of the Heavenly Dao.”

"Even if you have the power to break the Investiture of the Gods, I suggest you do not do so."

"It is because, in order to break the Investiture of the Gods, you must clash with the power of the Dao Ancestor."

"As the representative of the Heavenly Dao for many years, the Dao Ancestor's foundation far surpasses that of Brother Dao. I still do not mind lifting the restrictions of the Investiture of the Gods so soon."

"There is another point, that is, releasing the primordial spirit bound by the Investiture of the Gods may cause chaos in the rules of heaven and earth."

Upon hearing this, Shen Du's eyes filled with doubt.

But soon, he understood Nuwa's words.

Breaking the primordial spirits of those listed on the Investiture of the Gods and rescuing them from their slumber means that the Heavenly Court should now have enough immortals and gods to maintain the operation of heaven and earth.

But with his interference, most of the immortals and gods who were already unwilling to serve the Heavenly Court will definitely abandon it.

This could cause the operation of the primordial world to become unbalanced. Although the Qin Empire existed in the mortal world and has never been destroyed, the rain, disasters and calamities in the world were all controlled by the Heavenly Court.

If the celestial gods and immortals lose their balance, the primordial world will inevitably become unstable.

When that happens, chaos will ensue in the mortal realm, which will also be a troublesome matter.

But the gods felt increasingly uneasy. When did the heavens need to interfere in the workings of the world?!
During the Longhan era, there was no Heavenly Court. The three races fought for supremacy in the prehistoric world, and the world was still functioning normally.

Now, without the Heavenly Court, the primordial world can't survive?!

As for Hongjun, the gods didn't take him too seriously. Once humanity was restored, his strength would recover quickly.

The way of humanity is also called the way of all living beings.

Its power originates from all living beings in the primordial world.

It is not like the Heavenly Dao, but the power of the three thousand Heavenly Dao laws from the primordial world.

The power of the earth comes from the primordial land and the power of reincarnation in the Nine Netherworlds.

The three forces are different from each other and restrain each other.

Humanity overcomes Heaven, Heaven overcomes Earth, and Earth overcomes Humanity.

Man conquers Heaven, Heaven presses down on Earth, and Earth is superior to Man.

Thinking of this, Shen Du's eyes flashed, and he looked at Nuwa and said, "I know this. Without the gods and immortals in Heaven, the operation of the world's rules will be out of balance."

"But that was during the primordial era of the Three Realms. Now, the primordial world has been completely transformed. Without the Heavenly Court, what can it do?!"

Nuwa was stunned when she heard these words.

Yes!

The current primordial world is not the era of the Three Realms.

Instead, it was a primordial wilderness like the Dragon-Han period or the Lich-Yao period.

In the vast sky, amidst the starry heavens, the movement of the stars is governed only by the stars themselves, without the need for a star master to direct it.

But the human world is no longer the human world.

Without the concept of the Three Realms, there is naturally no saying that a day in heaven is a year on earth.

In this primordial world, a day in Heaven and a day on Earth are the same.

This resulted in the Heavenly Court's power being undermined, and its ability to operate the celestial sphere was reduced to mere instinct.

Therefore, most of the gods and immortals are incredibly idle.

In the ancient times of the Lich Kingdom, the Heavenly Court had an obligation to fulfill, which was that the demon race needed to raise the sun and the moon to nourish the world.

There is nothing else.

Realizing this, Nuwa did not continue arguing, but looked at Tongtian, her voice as clear and pleasant as a lark's.

"Nuwa congratulates Fellow Daoist Tongtian."

Upon hearing this, Tongtian also stood up to return the greeting.

Then, Tongtian looked at Shendu and said, "Brother Dao, let's make our move."

After Tongtian said that, even the gods were stunned. To take action?!

What are you going to do?

His brow furrowed, and he said speechlessly, "Fellow Daoist Tongtian, the Investiture of the Gods is not in my hands, so how can I make a move?"

At this moment, Tongtian, Nuwa, and the Three Immortals were all stunned.

Yup!

The Investiture of the Gods is on the Investiture Platform, and they are on the Taiyin Star. How could they possibly make a move?!
"How about I go to the Investiture Platform now and snatch the Investiture List?"

The moment he opened his mouth, he was trying to snatch it, which made Shen Du sigh and say helplessly, "Fellow Daoist Tongtian, I just used my divine sense to look at the Conferred God Platform. If a Saint-level being steps into it, it will cause the power of the Heavenly Dao to surge violently."

"When the time comes, Hongjun will personally take back the Investiture of the Gods, and then everything will be in vain." The gods were not surprised by Hongjun's precautions against the Investiture of the Gods.

After all, the prehistoric world is now filled with various powerful forces, unlike before when Hongjun's words could determine the future of the prehistoric world.

The Heavenly Court, as a pawn in Hongjun's hands, cannot afford to be lost.

Naturally, precautions were taken.

As for the four Heavenly Saints, Hongjun probably doesn't count on them.

This is because, among all the Primordial Golden Immortals in the world, they probably couldn't even defeat one.

Why is this so? Because they are Primordial Golden Immortals who achieved enlightenment through the Heavenly Dao Saint.

Even with a stable cultivation level, he is still slightly inferior to a normal Grand Luo Golden Immortal by a move or two.

This is because they have not undergone the pure Heavenly Tribulation of the Great Dao.

In the capital city, because it is the representative of humanity and one of the three great origins of the primordial world, it has been recognized by the Great Dao without needing to undergo the Heavenly Tribulation of the Great Dao.

However, the Heavenly Sages are merely pawns in the hands of the Heavenly Dao; the Great Dao will not acknowledge them, for it only recognizes the Heavenly Dao.

What is a Heavenly Sage?

The Great Dao does not know!
The Great Dao only knew that they were a group of pseudo-Primordial Golden Immortals who relied on the power of the Heavenly Dao.

This was something that Shendu did not tell Nuwa Tongtian.

But they will soon find out.

This is because the Primordial Heavenly Tribulation will arise from the River Styx, and when the Great Dao senses it, it will unleash the Great Dao Heavenly Tribulation.

Tongtian and Nuwa, as Primordial Golden Immortals, comprehended and mastered the corresponding laws by relying on the power of the Heavenly Dao.

It has not been recognized by the Great Dao and the Heavenly Dao. When the Styx River comes again, the Great Dao will remember it and will send down the Heavenly Tribulation of Creation, the Heavenly Tribulation of the Sword.

At this moment, Tongtian learned the reason for all this, and his face showed disappointment.

He knew he could save his disciple, but he was helpless.

"Fellow Daoist Tongtian need not worry so much."

Upon hearing this, Tongtian immediately became interested. "Brother Dao, what brilliant plan do you have?!"

Shen Du chuckled lightly, "Since saints cannot enter the Heavenly Court's Conferring God Platform, we can just find those below the saint level."

Upon hearing this, Nuwa shook her head. "Brother Shendu, the Conferred God Platform bears the imprint of the primordial spirit of Haotian Yaochi."

"During the sermon at Zixiao Palace, Haotian Yaochi was bestowed the Heavenly Dao Sainthood by Hongjun. His cultivation has probably reached the peak of Quasi-Sainthood, and he is only half a step away from becoming a Heavenly Dao Saint."

Haotian Yaochi is the Heavenly Saint who succeeded her and Tongtian.

As for the other three Heavenly Saints, they were not clearly identified when Hongjun preached in Zixiao Palace.

In the end, only Haotian Yaochi obtained two holy positions, and they all returned to their respective homes.

A Quasi-Saint at the peak, a person about to step into the position of Heavenly Saint, is not someone that ordinary Quasi-Saints or Primordial Golden Immortals can contend with.

These words even made the gods feel somewhat troubled.

What the hell do we do now?
Hongjun had considered every single factor thoroughly.

Suddenly, Shendu thought of Sun Wukong, whom he had taught.

Sun Wukong was born from the stone that mended the sky. Since all the other stones were used by Nuwa to repair the gaps in the sky, only this one stone was left.

His brothers, the stones that mended the heavens, were unable to absorb the merits of heaven and earth, which resulted in Sun Wukong possessing a large amount of merit power.

In that case, it shouldn't be a problem for Sun Wukong to take it out.

However, its lack of strength is a major weakness.

When he wreaks havoc in the Heavenly Palace, he will train him to become a peak-level Hunyuan Golden Immortal.

"hiss--"

Shen Du inwardly gasped; this was a problem of the century.

In just a thousand years, a peak-level Hunyuan Golden Immortal has been cultivated. Who could do that? Even the gods wouldn't dare say they could.

"Brother Shen Du, what are you considering?" Tongtian asked hastily, perhaps sensing a slight change in the situation.

Shen Du raised his eyes and looked at him, his voice tinged with frustration. “Fellow Daoist Tongtian, I’m thinking about how to cultivate Sun Wukong, one of the main characters in Journey to the West, into a peak Hunyuan Golden Immortal. In that case, our plan can also succeed.”

This is so troublesome that even the gods wanted to give up. But when they thought of the Pangu imprint that Tongtian had promised, the gods said that giving up was impossible.

Upon hearing this, Tongtian pondered for a moment and then asked, "Brother Daoist, isn't Sun Wukong the Spiritual Stone Monkey?!"

"There are four great monkey gods who cause chaos in the world, and Sun Wukong is one of them."

"Brother Dao, if we directly integrate the origins of the other three Chaos Monkey Kings into Sun Wukong's origin, we might be able to create a being at the peak of the Chaos Golden Immortal realm within a thousand years."

At that moment, Tongtian's words struck like a thunderclap, piercing straight into Shen Du's mind.

Yup!

How could he forget?

Sun Wukong is a spiritual stone monkey and one of the four incarnations of the Chaos Demon God, the Mischievous Demon Ape.

The other three divine monkey essences were given to Sun Wukong. With the aptitude of a Chaos Demon God, wouldn't it be easy for him to cultivate to the peak of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm over a thousand years?!
Nuwa spoke at this moment, "The original power of the Long-Armed Ape is with me."

After saying this, Nuwa took out the Map of Mountains and Rivers and summoned the primordial power of the Long-Armed Ape from it.

During the Investiture of the Gods period, Yang Jian used this treasure to trap the long-armed ape Yuan Hong. After killing the long-armed ape in the Mountain and River Map, Nuwa recalled this top-grade innate spiritual treasure.

At the same time, the original power of the Long-Armed Ape also remained in the world of this magical treasure.

As soon as it was brought out, Shen Du, Nuwa, Tongtian, and the Three Immortals of Sanxiao, who were watching as spectators, felt an extremely ancient, vast, domineering, wild, and frenzied aura.

This is one of the four fundamental origins of the Chaotic Demon Ape.

"Can!"

"After the matter is accomplished, Brother Shendu and Fellow Daoist Nuwa, I will present the Pangu Imprint, which is a legacy of my innate lineage, to you both."

Nuwa was completely bewildered. What was this Pangu mark?!

It's amazing that something like this exists.

Suddenly, she heard Shen Du's voice beside her ear.

"good!"

Once Shen Du had spoken, he said, "Fellow Daoist Tongtian, rest assured, I will do my utmost to seize the Investiture of the Gods and rescue the primordial spirits of your sect's disciples."

"I will send someone to retrieve the source power of the Six-Eared Macaque and the Red-Bottomed Macaque."

The imprint of Pangu's legacy!
This is good stuff.

Something that is readily available.

What's the harm in temporarily breaking ties with Hongjun?!

Is having the mark of Pangu important?!
No!

"Then thank you very much, fellow Daoist."

Tongtian nodded.

Nuwa, on the other hand, was completely bewildered throughout the entire process.

After completing this task, one will possess the innate Pangu imprint, representing one of the Three Pure Ones of the Pangu lineage, Shangqing Tongtian.

This is an absolute steal!

She merely used the primordial power of the Long-Armed Ape and explained how to save the primordial spirits of the Investiture of the Gods.

In a sense, the birth of Sun Wukong from his Heaven-Mending Stone was also a form of assistance.

Nuwa never expected that she would gain so many benefits from this trip.

You must come often in the future!
