Journey to the West: The Eighty-One Tribulations of Being Hairless

A nine-thousand-year-old purple-veined peach is actually a divine material of heaven and earth at the level of a Taiyi Golden Immortal!

This is because the purple-veined peaches not only contain abundant innate spiritual power, but also possess a wisp of innate origin, while the six-thousand-year-old and three-thousand-year-old peaches have no innate origin.

It is precisely because of this wisp of innate essence!

Almost a single purple-veined peach can create an immortal golden immortal, but the quality of this golden immortal is not solely determined by the peach itself.

The Palace of Astronomy, the Hall of Documents!

"Congratulations, fellow Daoist, on attaining the rank of True Monarch of Heaven and Earth! You are on your way to becoming a Great Luo Immortal!" Upon seeing Zhou Yi enter, Wang Lingguan showed no arrogance and immediately stood up, bowing and offering his congratulations.

"You're too kind, True Lord. I'm only at the Celestial Immortal realm right now; I wouldn't even dare to dream of reaching the Great Luo realm."

Zhou Yi quickly said he dared not say.

"Alas, fellow Daoist, you are being too modest. As a member of the Pangu clan and holding the title of True Lord, you are at least a Great Luo Golden Immortal!"

Since the beginning of time!

No Pangu has achieved less than a Great Luo Golden Immortal! Moreover, you and I are both True Lords; from now on, we can simply treat each other as brothers.

The I Ching has not yet risen to prominence, so now is the perfect time to befriend it. Otherwise, once it rises to prominence, there will be no opportunity for him to befriend it!

Of course, the most important thing is not to offend the other party.

"Brother, I don't have much to give you for your breakthrough this time. But I have a gourd of immortal wine here, which is the ten-thousand-year-old nectar obtained from the Queen Mother's Peach Banquet at Yaochi last time!"

For a Great Luo Golden Immortal, it merely satisfies their appetite, but for Golden Immortals and Celestial Immortals, it has considerable benefits!

Consider this a small token of my congratulations, brother!

After saying that, Wang Lingguan stretched out his right hand, and a golden light flashed, and a ten-centimeter-tall purple-gold gourd appeared in his palm.

From its aura, Zhou Yi could sense that this immortal gourd was a top-grade immortal treasure!

"this......

"My Lord, this is far too precious a gift..."

Although the elixir of immortality cannot compare to the mystical essence of the peaches of immortality that are nine thousand years old, it is still quite good. It is said to have a sweet and mellow taste and is a famous divine wine and immortal brew in the Three Realms. It is not something that ordinary immortals can drink.

This item was often used by the Jade Emperor to reward his subordinates!

"Sigh, buddy, are you looking down on me?"

Seeing Zhou Yi's refusal, Wang Lingguan quickly put on a stern face, looking like he was about to get angry. Zhou Yi had no choice but to accept the purple-gold gourd. "In that case, I thank you, brother!"

I was speechless.

How come the Heavenly Court is also indulging in drinking culture? First it was True Lord Han Zhangren, and now it's Wang Lingguan!

Before Zhou Yi became a true ruler and acquired the identity of Pangu, this Wang Lingguan, as the Grand Lingguan of the Department of Celestial Law Enforcement, was in charge of the Document Hall and all judges and inspectors.

The Book of Changes is the Hall of Law Enforcement, where celestial officials enforce the law!

The Enforcement Pavilion and the Manjushri Pavilion, one civil and one military, are mainly composed of Enforcement Celestial Officials. In theory, the Great Spirit Official does not directly manage the Enforcement Celestial Officials!

Yang Jian is the one who directly manages the law enforcement officials!

After all, Yang Jian is the true god of justice!

Therefore, Wang Lingguan and he were only nodding acquaintances before Zhou Yi, indicating that he knew of such a person!

After all, the Enforcement Department has hundreds of celestial officials!

However, as soon as Zhou Yiyi was promoted to True Lord, he returned to the gate of the Department of Astronomical Law Enforcement and was summoned by Wang Lingguan. Wang Lingguan was unusually enthusiastic when he saw Zhou Yiyi enter.

It's obvious she wants to befriend him.

"It seems that no matter where you are, you need a background and a powerful backer. The Pangu Clan is probably his biggest backer!"

"That's more like it!"

How has the Imperial Observatory been doing lately?

Is there anything I can help you with?

If you encounter any problems, you can tell me directly. As your superior, it's my duty to arrange everything properly for my subordinates.

Seeing that Zhou Yi had accepted his gift, Wang Lingguan nodded with satisfaction and smiled.

"No, there's no trouble at all, everything is fine!"

However, last time His Majesty suddenly issued a decree to me, saying that I could travel freely in the Three Realms without having to abide by the Heavenly Laws, and could also enforce the law freely.

But what does His Majesty mean?

At this moment, Zhou Yi suddenly thought of something and mentioned it. Upon hearing this, Wang Lingguan's mind stirred, and he also thought of something.

"Perhaps His Majesty has other reasons for this matter!"

However, with your current status as a True Lord, even without His Majesty's decree, you can still enjoy the same power as a Great Luo Golden Immortal!

And you, my brother, wield the power of the Celestial Lord.

To be honest, you're much more suited to lead the astronomical enforcement department than I am!

Discretionary power is a gift from heaven, alas...

As I say this, I'm starting to envy you, little brother. You have no idea how troublesome it was for me to go down to the mortal realm before I even became a Great Luo Immortal. I had to report to higher authorities at every level!

But that's nothing compared to your freedom, my brother!

However, since you call me "brother," I have to remind you that although your current celestial cultivation level seems quite good, there are also many powerful demons in the lower realm!

There are countless Golden Immortal Demon Kings, and even the Taiyi Demon Lord, a Great Sage of the Demon Race at the level of a Daluo Golden Immortal!

Therefore, before you attain the Golden Immortal realm, my friend, you'd better not go down to the mortal world!

Although Wang Lingguan had thought of something, he couldn't help but offer a reminder.

"Brother, are you referring to the Buddhist monk Jin Chanzi?"

Zhou Yi was no fool; a thought crossed his mind and he made an association.

"The Emperor had warned me about this before, saying that the Buddhist monk Jin Chanzi was vengeful and that I should not go to the mortal realm before I attained the Golden Immortal realm."

At this moment, Zhou Yi nodded, as if he had thought of something, and said...

"Brother, why don't you take a look at this?"

After saying that, he casually took out a booklet.

Zhou Yi took the booklet, which contained the words "Buddhist Journey to the West Plan - Top Secret".

"this......."

Zhou Yi was surprised and greatly moved. He had been mentally prepared for the great calamity of the Journey to the West, but he still did not quite understand the specific reasons.

After all, the purpose of Buddhist saints is to spread scriptures.

Is the transmission of Taoism to the West a struggle for destiny?

That's almost impossible. Luck is indeed very important to a sect, but with three Heavenly Saints guarding the East, it's not something you can just fight for.

The flourishing of Buddhism cannot possibly lead to the decline of Taoism!

Therefore, the idea that it's simply about competing for fortune and incense offerings is absolutely unreliable, but the idea that it's an immeasurable calamity born from the heavens and earth themselves is also not very reliable!

After all, compared to the Investiture of the Gods, where saints participated, and the Lich Wars and the Dragon-Han Wars, the Journey to the West Tribulation was simply child's play.

"His Majesty has distributed this jade book to all departments. Anyone who participates in this great calamity will receive great merit!"

But not just anyone can participate!

"His Majesty's approval is required. If one participates without permission, and is subsequently killed or disintegrated, His Majesty cannot guarantee anything..."

With his cultivation at the fifth rank of Celestial Immortal, Zhou Yi understood the reason for the Journey to the West in an instant, even with just a few thousand words in the small jade book. At this moment, Zhou Yi was not only shocked, but also full of admiration.

Sigh!

"It's a shame these two Western saints didn't get involved in pyramid schemes!"
