Primordial Era: A God-Level Choice, Possessing Zhao Gongming at the Start.

Chapter 457 The Steady Monkey's Western Reorganization

"You mean that monkey has been in seclusion for several days now?"

Haotian frowned.

Venus nodded like a chick pecking at rice, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Haotian frowned even more. Why wasn't this monkey playing by the rules?

Could it be that the Bodhi seeds given by the West did not work?

This is even more unacceptable!

Bodhi seeds are inherently spiritual objects, and after being blessed by two Western saints, their power has reached an unbelievable level!

Let alone the monkey who has not yet attained the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, even a peerless cultivator at the Quasi-Saint level would find it difficult to maintain his Dao heart under the Bodhi Seed.

As Haotian's most trusted confidant, Venus naturally knew many secrets.

He then asked softly, "Your Majesty, what about this Peach Banquet?"

Haotian waved his hand, "The Peach Banquet is already known both at home and abroad, so everything will proceed as planned."

"Yes."

Venus withdrew from the Lingxiao Palace.

The following day, the Peach Banquet, which had spread throughout the Three Realms, was officially held in the Lingxiao Palace of the Heavenly Court!

Throughout the Three Realms, prominent deities participated, and the atmosphere was lively and bustling with activity.

The grand banquet lasted for three days before it came to an end, and the Heavenly Court returned to its usual tranquility.

Sun Wukong was completely unaware of everything happening in the outside world.

For him, cultivation level was the most important thing.

He may be a pawn in the hands of gods and Buddhas now, but ultimately, it's just that he's not strong enough.

If he possessed even half the cultivation of the immortals who taught him on the nameless island, then all the gods and Buddhas in the heavens would probably become pawns in his hands!

In the Western Holy Land, at the Great Thunder Temple, a host of high-ranking Buddhist figures, including the ancient Dipankara Buddha, the Medicine Buddha, the future Maitreya Buddha, the Bodhisattva Mahasthamaprapta, the Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha, Avalokiteshvara, Manjushri, and Samantabhadra, gathered together.

The atmosphere at the solemn and supreme Great Thunder Temple was heavy at this moment.

"Why hasn't the Heavenly Court taken any action yet! Why isn't things progressing towards the intended goal?!"

The one speaking is Bhaisajyaguru Buddha, in this age when saints are no longer appearing.

Medicine Buddha naturally became the leading figure in Buddhism.

Maitreya frowned. "Before the great calamity began, Master and Uncle used their great magical power to predict the calamity. The monkey had a five-hundred-year calamity. According to the plan of the Western Paradise and Buddhism, the monkey should have already entered the calamity by now."

Manjushri Bodhisattva echoed, "The sage even bestowed Bodhi seeds upon us; logically, there should be no chance of anything going wrong."

Medicine Buddha asked, "Why has things turned out this way?"

Ran Deng remained silent. He knew back in the East China Sea that the secrets of heaven had been completely thrown into chaos!

The Jie Sect had already intervened; who could possibly fathom the secrets of heaven?

After a while, the Medicine Master said, "Guanyin, go to the Heavenly Court and discuss this with the Great Heavenly Venerable. Make sure there is absolutely no mistake."

"I will follow the teachings of my Buddha."

Guanyin nodded, a lotus flower bloomed beneath her feet, and she left the Great Thunder Temple.

In the Heavenly Court, Guanyin arrived in haste, paid her respects to Haotian, and only after obtaining his permission did she enter the Lingxiao Palace.

Haotian immediately dismissed everyone, leaving only him and Guanyin in the hall.

Guanyin Bodhisattva clasped her hands in a gesture of respect to Haotian, her face cold as she questioned him.

"Great Celestial Venerable, the Peach Banquet has ended, so why is that monkey still in Heaven? If he remains there, how can our Buddhist sect flourish?"

Haotian's face suddenly darkened, and he stared meaningfully at Guanyin Bodhisattva, coldly saying.

"Guanyin, don't forget that the Heavenly Court and Buddhism are only in a cooperative relationship. The Heavenly Court is not a subordinate of your Buddhist sect."

Guanyin Bodhisattva's face stiffened, feeling as if she were being stared at by a fierce tiger, and her whole body was chilled.

After a moment, he said, "I was impetuous with my words earlier, please forgive me, Great Heavenly Venerable."

"But it's not a solution for that robber to just lie there and not move; we must find a way to make him return to the mortal realm."

"There has to be a reason for rebelling and descending to the mortal realm. Although that monkey is a monkey, he has not inherited the monkey's nature at all. He is more cunning than a human. How difficult would it be to get him to rebel against Heaven and descend to the mortal realm as a demon?"

Haotian snorted coldly.

Guanyin's lips curled slightly, revealing an extremely cold smile.

"What if we let that monkey willingly rebel against Heaven?"

Haotian looked puzzled. "You mean..."

"That monkey has seven sworn brothers in the lower realm, all of whom are low-ranking demon kings at the Golden Immortal level. If we manipulate them and arbitrarily pin some crimes on them, given the monkey's personality, I'm not afraid he won't come to our aid."

Haotian suddenly raised his head and looked at Guanyin, feeling a chill in his heart. Guanyin of Buddhism, what a vicious heart she has.

Guanyin smiled. "What does the Great Heavenly Venerable think?"

"It's worth a try!"

Haotian nodded, then added, "But the Heavenly Court is only responsible for forcing that monkey to rebel and descend to the mortal realm as a demon. The follow-up cleanup work will have to be handled by your Buddhist sect."

"Of course."

Guanyin left behind her last words and gracefully departed from the Lingxiao Palace.

Watching Guanyin Bodhisattva leave, Haotian summoned Taibai Jinxing again.

"Your subject, Venus, pays his respects to Your Majesty."

Venus bowed respectfully, feeling extremely uneasy. He thought to himself, "Great Celestial Venerable, are you about to assign me another difficult task?"

Sure enough, the next moment, Haotian spoke up, "I remember that Sun Wukong had a few sworn brothers in the mortal realm."

"Your Majesty, there are seven sworn brothers in total."

"Start immediately, gather evidence against Sun Wukong and his sworn brothers."

"what?"

Venus looked up in shock, then quickly became serious. "Yes, Your Majesty."

After a day of cultivation, Sun Wukong left the Peach Garden, ready to explore the Heavenly Court.

On the nameless fairy island, Sun Wukong read many ancient books.

These ancient classics cover a wide range of topics, but the most unavoidable one is the Jie Sect, which captivated Sun Wukong.

The Jie Sect teaches all without discrimination, with fifty Great Daos and forty-nine Heavenly Evolutions. It aims to capture a single thread of life for all things. What an overbearing doctrine this is!

As a result, Sun Wukong also developed a great fondness for the disciples of the Jie Sect.

After the Investiture of the Gods, many disciples of the Jie Sect were serving in the Heavenly Court. This was a good opportunity to pay them a proper visit and get to know them.

For several days in a row, Sun Wukong was either drinking with Wen Zhong at the residence of the Heavenly Venerable of Universal Thunder and Lightning in the Nine Heavens, or fighting with Yang Jian at the residence of the True Lord of the Pure Source Wonderful Way.

Along the way, he also got to know many immortals of the Jie Sect.

On this day, after Sun Wukong finished attending the banquet and returned to the Peach Garden, a strongman, looking flustered, ran towards him.

As he ran, he kept shouting, "Something's wrong! Something's wrong!"

Sun Wukong flashed and flew to the water-carrying warrior. "What's wrong? Tell me quickly!"

The strongman, panting, said, "Steward, something has happened at Flower Fruit Mountain!"

"Something's happened at Flower Fruit Mountain!"

Sun Wukong grabbed the strongman by the collar, his eyes blazing and his aura fierce and intimidating. "What happened at Flower Fruit Mountain? Tell me, Old Sun!"
