Jackie Chan Adventures: I have everything I need now

"Fellow Daoist Shen Du, let's not change the subject."

"This is what you mean, fellow Daoist."

"I am the spokesperson for the Heavenly Dao, and I also possess the three thousand Jade Tablets of Creation, which were once the companion treasures of the great god Pangu. How could I not calculate that Sun Wukong destroyed the Investiture of the Gods because of your intention, fellow Daoist!"

"The Three Corpses of Taiqing were nothing more than a scapegoat, tricked by you, fellow Daoist."

"Fellow Daoist, are you going to reject all of these?!"

Hongjun's eyes suddenly fixed on Shendu, trying to get the answer he wanted.

As Hongjun said, this was indeed a scheme he had devised and plotted.

Now that he has been exposed, why should he hide?

He spread his hands, revealing an indifferent attitude, and said, "Fellow Daoist Hongjun, this matter was indeed done by me."

"But so what!?"

"The Investiture of the Gods bestows titles upon the gods of Heaven, but the positions in Heaven must be held by the countless beings of the primordial world, not by disciples of sage sects!"

"The Heavenly Court should be as impartial and selfless as the Way of Heaven; how can it tolerate the opinions of only one side?!"

His voice was calm, yet it revealed the true nature of the Heavenly Court, causing all the saints and Grand Luo Immortals present to fall into deep thought.

At this moment, a glint of scheming flashed in Donghuang Taiyi's eyes.

He felt that Shen Du's words made a lot of sense.

Their demon race was a powerful clan in the primordial world, yet they didn't even have the right to speak in the Heavenly Court.

This is unreasonable!

With this in mind, Donghuang Taiyi did not hesitate at all and directly echoed, "I think Daoist Venerable's words make a lot of sense!"

"In the past, my demon race's Heavenly Court was a great family, but it perished in the primordial world. Now, the Heavenly Court conferred by the Investiture of the Gods is also a great family, which is why it was destroyed by Sun Wukong's staff."

"Why don't we rebuild the Heavenly Court? The Heavenly Court should be completely impartial and selfless!"

As he spoke, Donghuang Taiyi patted his chest and volunteered, "I believe I was once the Heavenly Emperor, and I am now qualified to be the Emperor of the Heavenly Court. I wonder what suggestions my fellow Daoists have?!"

Before the assembled saints below could speak, the Grand Luo Immortal of Hunyuan spoke. Upon hearing these words, Haotian Yaochi, who had been weeping, suddenly twitched his eyes and became agitated.

The resounding voices echoed throughout the heavens.

"No!"

"The demon race is deeply sinful, having caused the primordial world to shatter and the pillars of heaven to collapse. How can demon beings be the Heavenly Emperor of the Heavenly Court?!"

"This is impossible!"

"..."

Haotian Yaochi's rebuttal caused Donghuang Taiyi to look at them. His deep, dark pupils, carrying a trace of true solar fire, seemed to be warning the two that if they dared to say another word, he would slap them to death.

Unfortunately, Haotian Yaochi, knowing she had powerful backing and was supported by Hongjun, was not afraid at all and boasted, "How dare the demon race set foot on the land of the Heavenly Court!"

"If that's the case, what about the Nine Heavens Demon-Subduing Ancestor?!"

"so what?!"

Donghuang Taiyi retorted sarcastically.

For a moment, the two were locked in a dispute.

The three overlords of the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin clans, who were standing to the side, understood everything with just a glance between their eyes.

Zulong went even further, declaring, "My dragon race can also be the Primordial Heavenly Emperor!"

"My Phoenix Clan"

"I am a member of the Qilin clan."

"I am an Asura."

"..."

For a time, all the saints and the Great Luo Golden Immortals were caught up in the dispute, each boasting and trying to push themselves into the position of Heavenly Emperor.

After all, if one becomes the Heavenly Emperor, one can legitimately intervene in matters of destiny in the primordial world.

Instead of resorting to covert recruitment as it is now.

"Shen Du Daoist, you have a premeditated scheme. As expected of a spokesperson for humanity, your scheming is indeed deep and dark, with no bottom in sight."

Hongjun's eyes showed a hint of amazement. If it weren't for the deductive power of the Jade Tablet of Creation, even he would have had difficulty deducing who the culprit was in this place filled with immense calamity.

This kind of scheming is far more profound than that of the former Demon Ancestor Rahu.

"You flatter me, Fellow Daoist Hongjun."

"Besides, I didn't do this; I just went along with it!"

"How could Sun Wukong let this go after being so thoroughly fooled?"

"Besides, wasn't it you, fellow Daoist, who forced the Three Pure Ones to make that choice during the Investiture of the Gods?!"

"The destruction of the Heavenly Court is only a matter of time!"

"Why can't I push it to the terminal?"

Shen Du asked casually, seemingly unaware of any pressure from Hongjun.

"Fellow Daoist Shen Du, this is sophistry."

"This is sophistry, it's the truth!"

"you"

"Could it be..."

"..."

For a time, in the vast Zixiao Palace, below, the saints and Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortals were arguing fiercely, but they all had a tacit understanding and did not make a move.

The reason is simple: whoever makes a move now will suffer a loss, especially since there are three representatives above them.

Similar to them, at this moment, Shendu and Hongjun started arguing. Shendu just wouldn't admit it, stubbornly refusing to admit it. Hongjun was quite helpless, but there was nothing he could do. Both sides stuck to their own versions of events, and neither would admit anything.

And so, the sounds of arguing continued in Zixiao Palace, causing Houtu to look at the two of them, her lips twitching slightly, and her eyes filled with a particularly helpless look.

What exactly is going on?

The plan for the Journey to the West had been agreed upon beforehand, but the Beast King Shenni was born to disrupt things.

The Journey to the West is currently underway, the Investiture of the Gods in Heaven has been destroyed, and the once vast Heavenly Court is now deserted. Does it still bear the name of Heaven?!
No!

The culprit behind everything was that Hongjun didn't tell the truth and secretly kept a secret.

The latter is someone even the gods wouldn't know to cause trouble for, yet they deliberately hinted to Sun Wukong to destroy the Investiture of the Gods.

Now, the two started arguing, and Houtu was quite helpless.

She was thinking about how to bring her older brother and sister back to life.

Once, the Heavenly Dao ruled the primordial world, and would not allow the dead to reappear there.

But now that the Great Dao controls the primordial world, it won't concern itself with the resurrection of primordial beings. The Great Dao will only care whether the Chaos Gods will be resurrected, and it won't pay attention to these little Karami.

During the argument at Zixiao Palace.

Meanwhile, on the desolate land.

In the depths of darkness.

This place is the dojo where the Demon Ancestor Rahu temporarily resides in the primordial world.

"From this day forward, you shall be none other than the Lord!"

Luo Hou looked down, clad in a long black robe, his body emanating waves of demonic energy that distorted the space around him, and ignited a chilling demonic flame. He then spoke.

"As the Demon Ancestor commands!"

"I am Wutian!"

"He is the nemesis of Buddha!"

Seeing this, Luo Hou nodded with satisfaction, and then told him to go to a side hall to cultivate and wait for the tribulation to be completed. That would be the time when the demonic path would rise and the day when Wutian would descend to earth.

Rahu is an enemy of the immortal path.

Wutian is the enemy of Buddhism and Taoism. They are perfectly aligned.

Although the Beast Emperor Shenni has already perished under Pangu, the original plan to have him disrupt the prehistoric world was not Rahu's intention. Disrupting the prehistoric world was only the first step.

In reality, Luo Hou wanted to completely annihilate the Beast Emperor Shen Ni.

Because in this way, the former demon god's body can also return.

In the end, the situation in the primordial world will be decided by the Chaos Gods, not by the three paths of Heaven, Earth, and Man.

Just as Luo Hou was thinking, the space shattered as if glass had broken, and a figure wearing a blue robe, with spatial runes and laws emanating from his body, stepped into the dark abyss.

"It's you?!"

Luo Hou's eyes widened, and with a slight thought, the innate killing treasure, the God-Slaying Spear, surged forth with a vast killing aura, appearing in his palm and pointing directly at the approaching figure.

When the Beast King Shenni fell, Rahu summoned back this supreme weapon of slaughter from afar.

After all, without the blessing of this supreme weapon, his strength would naturally be one or two levels lower.

"It is naturally me!"

The figure in cyan spoke calmly, seemingly not taking Rahu seriously.

It was as if he could appear and disappear without a trace in this dark abyss, and even Rahu could not stop him.

"What are you doing here!"

"I have nothing to say to you!"

"Back then, you aided Hongjun, and I became your mortal enemy. Now that you've appeared before me, do you really think you can escape as you did before?!"

As he spoke, demonic flames erupted from Luo Hou's body, and bewitching demonic sounds echoed in the dark abyss. The aura emanating from Luo Hou was definitely at the peak level of the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal, and had even reached the half-step Hunyuan Wuji Golden Immortal level.

"Rahu, we are both demon gods!"

Why resort to arms?!

Upon hearing this, Luo Hou couldn't help but chuckle and said, "If it weren't for you and Yin Yang Qiankun helping Hongjun back then, the Primordial World would already be ours!"

"Things that belong to Pangu are also things that belong to this ancestor!"

"That good-for-nothing Hongjun has controlled the prehistoric world for so many years and still hasn't found that thing!"

Luo Hou's words made the man chuckle, his expression filled with utter disdain, "Luo Hou, even Hongjun couldn't find Pangu's thing, how could you possibly find it?!"

"As a defeated opponent of Hongjun, he is so arrogant. No wonder he was defeated by Hongjun in the first place!"

"Even without our help, you probably wouldn't be a match for Hongjun!"

Upon hearing this, Rahu's eyes flashed with demonic flames, transforming into a pillar of demonic light that blasted straight towards the target.

Seeing this, the man slightly raised his hand, and the laws of space were activated, directly reversing the flow and causing Rahu's attack to disappear without a trace.

"Yang Mei, even though I was defeated by Hongjun in the past, I still managed to stay in the prehistoric world!"

"Unlike you, who are like a stray dog, only able to cower in chaos!"

"If it weren't for the Great Dao currently ruling over the primordial world, you'd probably still be hiding in that chaotic land!"

"What right do you have to speak to me, your ancestor!"

"Don't think that just because you're one of the Ten Great Dao Venerables of the Chaos Era, I'm afraid of you!"

Rahu's voice was sharp and resounding, echoing deep within the dark abyss, yet it was a statement of the truth.

At this moment, Yang Mei, the reincarnation of the Space Demon God, is at the peak of the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal realm, just like Luo Hou.

Even if Yang Mei was one of the Ten Great Dao Venerables of the Chaos Era, what did Luo Hou have to fear?!

"Rahu, I have come to find you, not to wage war!"

"It's cooperation."

Upon hearing this, Luo Hou narrowed his eyes and sized up Yang Mei.

Detecting no malice whatsoever, he then said calmly, "I have nothing to do with you!"

"Only one person can obtain what Pangu possesses!"

"This is what the Great Dao says, have you forgotten it?!"

"If we cooperate, how will we divide the spoils after we obtain that item?!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Mei didn't seem troubled at all. Instead, her eyes flashed, and she said with a half-smile, "The treasures of Pangu cannot be obtained in a short time!"

"Our deal is for the body of a demon god!"

"how?"

The body of the demon god is found in Journey to the West.

The eighty-one tribulations of Journey to the West are not only about extinguishing the resentment of ferocious beasts, but also about suppressing the bodies of demon gods.

If the demon god's body were to reappear, reincarnated demon gods like Rahu and Yangmei, who still exist in the primordial world, could regain their bodies and reclaim their former peak strength.

It can easily suppress the three realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man.

This is not an exaggeration.

However, regaining the body of the demon god is extremely difficult.

However, that was Rahu's original intention.

Now that Yang Mei has joined the fold, Luo Hou naturally accepts the offer.

With a smile, he said, "It's a pleasure doing business with you!"

Seeing this, Yang Mei also spoke up, "It's a pleasure to cooperate!"

Then, Yang Mei flashed away from the Dark Abyss. Luo Hou's eyes flashed with killing intent as he murmured, "Pangu's things can only belong to me. Yang Mei, you stray dog, Hongjun will surely find a way to deal with you."

"I only need to sit back and watch the tigers fight!"

"Hahahaha!"

"..."

Meanwhile, the crowd, completely unaware of the schemes of the two reincarnated demon gods, was still arguing in the Zixiao Palace.

Looking at the arguing crowd, Houtu felt a surge of anger and frustration, and immediately shouted, "Enough!"

With a single utterance, carrying waves of reincarnation power, the saints and the Primordial Golden Immortals were plunged into a brief dream of reincarnation.

Only Shen Du and Hong Jun did not get caught up in the argument, but they stopped arguing and turned to look at Hou Tu.

"When will this matter be resolved, you two fellow cultivators!?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Du gave an awkward smile and spread his hands, "I don't know, but Fellow Daoist Hou Tu, if you have any suggestions, please feel free to share them!"

"In any case, the Heavenly Court can no longer maintain its former dominance."

"The Investiture of the Gods is merely a thing that forces all living beings in the primordial world to govern the primordial rules; it is not worth using!"

Hongjun also spoke up at this moment, "Fellow Daoist Houtu, this matter is a conflict within the Heavenly Court, not your Underworld's affair. Of course you can stay out of it. How could you possibly understand my hatred?!"

"Moreover, the Journey to the West has also been disrupted, which is a major event!"

When their conversation reached Houtu's ears, she couldn't help but roll her eyes.

How long are they going to keep arguing?!

In an instant, Houtu spoke without hesitation, saying, "Let's do as Fellow Daoist Shendu said. The newly established Primordial Heavenly Court should be occupied by various forces."

After saying that, Houtu turned to look at Shendu and said, "Fellow Daoist Shendu, since you caused this trouble, I hope you can resolve it."

"Sun Wukong's strength is even comparable to that of a half-step Grand Luo Golden Immortal. Why would he obediently go to the Western Paradise to retrieve the scriptures!"

"I'll leave this matter to you, fellow Daoist. May I ask what your intentions are?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Du waved his hand dismissively, "No objection, let's do it this way!"

Sun Wukong was taught and instructed by him, and it was extremely easy for him to go to the Western Paradise to obtain the scriptures.

The main reason is that the Heavenly Court can no longer be ruled by Hongjun.

After all, severing one of Hongjun's hands in the prehistoric world is the real issue; the mere question of choosing a candidate for the Journey to the West is something that can be easily figured out with a little thought.
