Journey to the West: I really want to improve!

The Jade Emperor's power is boundless, a fact universally acknowledged in Heaven.

Mu Xin didn't know how long the Jade Emperor had cultivated, but according to the Taoist classic "The Collection of the Original Deeds of the Supreme Jade Emperor," he first went through 3200 kalpas to become a Golden Immortal, and then went through countless kalpas to finally become the Jade Emperor.

That would take at least four or five hundred million years, or even more.

According to Journey to the West, the Jade Emperor went through 1750 tribulations and cultivated for a total of 2.27 million years.

Regardless of the version, the Jade Emperor is undoubtedly a big shot in Heaven, and even a top figure in the entire Journey to the West world. At least Mu Xin doesn't dare to look him in the eye in the Lingxiao Palace right now.

"Your Majesty... this unruly monkey deserves to die! If he hadn't launched a sneak attack, I would have already slain him with my sword!"

Mo Liqing was able to become the Heavenly King of Growth not only because of his high level of cultivation, but also because he knew how to shift blame and how to get along with people.

After his sweet talk, all the blame was shifted onto Sun Wukong, making Mo Liqing seem like an innocent little lamb.

Mu Xin listened attentively while taking notes, afraid of missing anything. This level of rhetoric was not something he often heard!

He used to look down on things in the mortal realm, but now he is learning them word by word in the Heavenly Court.

"Furthermore, I fought fiercely with that mischievous monkey and completely destroyed the South Heavenly Gate, which is the main entrance and exit of the Heavenly Court. I hereby request that the South Heavenly Gate be rebuilt."

"I also brought Mu Xin, the person in charge of the renovation and expansion project of Nantianmen, along with him so that he could explain the specific situation."

Look, that bag of spirit stones that Mu Xin gave us has come in handy. The Heavenly Court isn't all about fighting and killing; it's all about human relationships and social interactions!

Normally, Mu Xin's status wouldn't qualify him to report directly to the Jade Emperor in the Lingxiao Palace, even if his master was incredibly powerful.

Mu Xin walked behind the Heavenly King of Growth, shifting two positions to his left, and then reported to the leader:

"According to our engineering department's on-site survey, the direct economic loss caused by Sun Wukong, the Keeper of the Heavenly Horses, is 1.86 billion spirit stones."

"The main loss was the Myriad Tribulations Thunder Pattern Steel, which alone amounted to 930 million spirit stones."

"Since the final payment for the renovation and expansion project of the South Heavenly Gate has not yet been settled, rebuilding the South Heavenly Gate would require 2.49 billion spirit stones."

"This reconstruction project of the South Heavenly Gate will be redesigned in collaboration with several experts from the Heavenly Court to make it more robust and enhance the power of the magic array."

"Once the South Heavenly Gate is rebuilt, it will surely become a great wonder of the Heavenly Court."

"In order to ensure the construction progress of the South Heavenly Gate, I request Your Majesty to allocate 15 billion spirit stones in advance."

The Jade Emperor remained silent; the Lingxiao Palace was so quiet you could hear a pin drop, and Mu Xin's back was drenched in sweat.

"Granted."

call--!

Mu Xin breathed a sigh of relief. He had indeed taken a gamble; the situation was too unusual. If the Jade Emperor really sent someone to investigate, he would be doomed.

Although he wasn't directly involved in the shoddy workmanship, it was indeed his problem.

Fortunately, his master, the Heavenly King of Growth, and other celestial officials covered for him, which brought the situation under control.

"Your Majesty, Wang Aide, the chief engineer of the South Heavenly Gate renovation and expansion project, was my brother, my dearest friend and relative; he was killed by that demon monkey while protecting the South Heavenly Gate."

"He worked diligently throughout his life, and remained at the project site until his death. His only wish was to have his name inscribed on the completion marker of the Nantianmen renovation and expansion project."

"Although the renovation and expansion project of Nantianmen was ruined by that wicked monkey, the reconstruction project is a continuation of the previous project. I implore Your Majesty to allow Wang Aide's name to be engraved on the completion mark of the reconstruction project."

"This can be considered as fulfilling Wang Aide's last wish!"

With that, Mu Xin knelt down and kowtowed to the Jade Emperor.

No one could see Mu Xin's expression; they could only see her slightly trembling body. Anyone with eyes could tell that Mu Xin was crying uncontrollably.

Why--!

The Jade Emperor sighed deeply.

"Wang Aide is fortunate to have a colleague like you. Approved!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Mu Xin hurriedly thanked him and then withdrew, wiping away the tears on his face.

……

Emerging from the Lingxiao Palace, Mu Xin finally breathed a sigh of relief. He was so grateful for the protection of the powerful figures; otherwise, he would have truly perished.

This is why the project cost so much this time; after all, every location needs to be greased.

Although the South Heavenly Gate is gone, my position remains unchanged, so this can be considered a success.

The key issue is that Sun Wukong walked back and forth through the South Heavenly Gate several times, so the South Heavenly Gate has to be rebuilt again.

Let's not even talk about the fact that they just fought their way out of the South Heavenly Gate; anyway, the Jade Emperor has already agreed.

The second time is after Sun Wukong disrupts the Peach Banquet, he will use his movement technique to slip out through the South Heavenly Gate. As long as we arrange it in advance, we can let him fight with the Heavenly King of Growth again, and rebuild once more.

The third time they escape from the Eight Trigrams Furnace, they will pass through the South Heavenly Gate, and then it will collapse again.

In this way, one South Heavenly Gate can be used for four projects!

Mu Xin's mouth was practically stretched to the back of his head in a grin. It seemed like he could become a project manager in no time!

After all, these projects are part of his own achievements!

……

It has been six thousand years since Mu Xin ascended to the Heavenly Court. His cultivation level is now that of a god, but his aptitude can be described as quite ordinary.

He was a transmigrator who survived for countless years in the lower realm before finally ascending to immortality.

Mu Xin is different from others in one way: after ascending to heaven, he needs to obtain a position and official post in the Heavenly Court to acquire fortune and improve his cultivation.

The higher one climbs in cultivation, the more luck and fortune one needs, which is why he is required to constantly climb the Heavenly Court.

Besides seniority, strength is also essential for the Heavenly Court.

To climb high, you need both seniority and connections; you can't do without either.

In Heaven, everyone wants to ascend, but the process is extremely difficult.

Above the immortals are the Taiyi Scattered Immortals. Reaching this level grants one a formal position in the Heavenly Court, residing in one of the Eight Central Caves, with specific duties, and under the jurisdiction of the Supreme Immortals.

Going further up, one becomes a Great Luo Celestial Immortal, who is already in the middle to high ranks of the Heavenly Court, residing on the edge of the Upper Eight Caves, receiving the Jade Emperor's courtesy, and holding important functions.

Above that is the Supreme True One, the ninth rank of the True True Ones in Taoism, equivalent to the Heavenly Venerable, residing at the core of the Upper Eight Caves, and revered by the Jade Emperor.

As for the Primordial Limitless Golden Immortal, this is a being at the top of the Three Realms, transcending the Five Immortals, controlling the origin of the universe, and being one with the Dao.

People like the Three Pure Ones and the Buddha are all super big shots of this level, with boundless magical power, and they establish the order of the Three Realms.

Mu Xin's goal is to become a Primordial Limitless Golden Immortal. He is a young immortal with dreams and ambitions, even though this goal seems unattainable.

But what's the difference between an immortal without dreams and an earthworm in the Peach Garden?!

Ever since he learned that he was in the Journey to the West world, Mu Xin felt that he was capable again, and becoming a Hunyuan Wuji Da Luo Jinxian was not out of reach.

After all, he was very clear about the Journey to the West, a super project orchestrated by the Heavenly Court in conjunction with other interest groups, and there were too many opportunities to gain merit along the way.

"I'm going to climb to the top step by step, I want to be the boss!" — Mu Xin
