Journey to the West Arrives: Start by becoming an apprentice of the Tongtian Sect Leader!

The Jade Emperor truly thought that Li Xuancang was a sensible child.

Even at times like these, one should not forget to respect oneself as the supreme being.

Li Xuancang could easily agree to such a thing; the Jade Emperor himself wouldn't refuse.

But Li Xuancang was still thinking of himself. What a good child!

Thinking of this, the Jade Emperor reached out and patted Li Xuancang on the shoulder.

"Xuan Cang, you've been serving as the deputy marshal of our Heavenly Court's army for quite some time now. In my opinion, it's time to shoulder some more responsibility."

"Didn't they recently bestow the title of Bi Ma Wen (弼马温) upon Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King? The Imperial Horse Administration is extremely busy, and as the Grand Marshal of the Heavenly Army, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King must be overwhelmed!"

"In that case, let the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King take good care of the Imperial Stables, and leave the affairs of the Heavenly Army entirely to you, my nephew."

"From now on, you will be the Grand Marshal of the Heavenly Army, and as for Li Jing, you'll be his deputy for now."

Upon hearing this, Li Xuancang hurriedly spoke with a look of fear.

"Great Celestial Venerable, how can this be allowed?!"

But the Jade Emperor shook his head.

"How can this not be allowed?"

"You are young... young people should bear more responsibility."

"You can't always think about escaping or taking it easy."

"At your age, you should be striving and working hard!"

"Don't even mention appointing you as the Grand Marshal of the Heavenly Army; in my opinion, even appointing you as the Greatest Marshal of the Primordial World wouldn't be excessive!"

Upon hearing these words, Li Xuancang hurriedly spoke up…

"Uncle-Master, how could I possibly be worthy of being called the Great Marshal of the Primordial World? In my opinion, you, Uncle-Master, are the Great Marshal of the Primordial World!"

Upon hearing this, the Jade Emperor was even more delighted.

"Oh? Hahahaha..."

"I've appointed countless people as marshals in my life, but this is the first time I've been appointed one, and the greatest marshal of the entire primordial world at that!"

"Xuan Cang..."

The Jade Emperor was delighted and intended to launch into a long speech, but before he could finish, the two Western Saints couldn't take it anymore.

Suddenly, the Buddha of Guidance let out a stern shout!

"Enough!!!"

"What is your Heavenly Court trying to do?!"

"Are we all supposed to watch you appoint each other as marshals?!"

Seeing that the Buddha of Guidance had interrupted his boasting, the Jade Emperor was immediately displeased.

"What's it to you?!"

"You damned bald monk! What right do you have to meddle in the affairs of our Heavenly Court?!"

"Just mind your own business in the West!"

"Don't want to watch? Then get lost! Do you really think we want to see you?!"

"Two stinking Westerners, coming to beg for food in our East?!"

At this moment, Li Xuancang spoke up at the opportune moment...

"Uncle-Master, you're absolutely right. They really did come to our Eastern region to beg for food."

"They keep saying the West is barren... I've probably never seen any decent magical treasures in my life."

"No sooner had the Chaos Bell, a supreme treasure from the beginning of creation, shown any movement than these two shameless bastards came running over begging for food."

Upon hearing this, the Jade Emperor, Li Xuancang, and Kong Xuan burst into laughter.

Immediately afterwards, all the powerful figures from the Xuanmen sect burst into laughter…

Because Li Xuancang's words were crude but reasonable; weren't the two Western Saints just like two stinking beggars?

How could the Buddha of Guidance and the Bodhi Buddha tolerate such humiliation?!

Although the two Western Saints have always been very tolerant, being humiliated in such a public manner by a junior is something even they can no longer tolerate.

What bothered the two Western Saints the most was that even if they wanted to lash out, they had little opportunity…

Because Qingping Daoist and Yinyuan Daoist were standing right in front of Li Xuancang.

As both being saints with three corpses, the Buddha of Guidance and the Old Buddha Bodhi had absolutely no chance of suppressing Li Xuancang.

They could only watch helplessly as Li Xuancang relentlessly mocked them...

But the two of them could do nothing.

Standing in the distance beside Meng Po, the incarnation of Houtu Niangniang, the Styx Ancestor looked at Li Xuancang with great interest.

Then they heard the Styx Ancestor mutter to himself...

"This kid is really interesting; I'm starting to like him!"

After speaking, the Styx Ancestor turned to look at Meng Po beside him.

"Your Majesty, didn't you previously instruct the Sage of Heaven to take his disciple on a journey to the Underworld after this matter was resolved?"

"Could I go and take a look then...?"

"This kid is totally my type!"

Meng Po nodded upon hearing this.

"Of course, Fellow Daoist Styx, if you wish to go, then go!"

Seeing Meng Po nod in agreement, the Styx Ancestor grinned.

"Hehe, thank you, Your Majesty!"

In fact, the reason why the Styx Ancestor wanted to meet the Tongtian Sect Leader in the Underworld was not simply because he found Li Xuancang interesting.

For a primordial deity like the Styx Ancestor, he has encountered countless interesting beings and events in his lifetime…

What the Styx Ancestor was concerned about was the changes that would occur during this great calamity of the Journey to the West.

The Styx Ancestor never gave up on the matter of becoming a saint.

Even if there is only the slightest chance, the Styx Ancestor must seize it!

In the mind of the Styx Ancestor, it was impossible for the Earth Goddess to send the Tongtian Sect Leader and his disciples to the Underworld without a reason.

There must be something involved that involves the underworld, or even the underground passages.

And now, during the great calamity of the Journey to the West...

Even a sage's casual arrangements can potentially influence the course of the next great calamity.

Therefore, the Styx Ancestor naturally wanted to get involved as well.

Perhaps the path to sainthood lies within this?

However, the Styx Ancestor did not say it explicitly, only that he was very interested in Li Xuancang and wanted to go and see him...

It can only be said that these innate deities have lived too long, and each of them has too many schemes up their sleeves.

The Buddha of Guidance and the Bodhi Buddha looked grim, but there was nothing they could do, leaving them in an awkward position.

The powerful figures from the Western Buddhist sect also looked extremely pale.

Especially the Buddha, whose expression was extremely distorted.

It was as if he was suppressing a raging fire.

But in reality, only the Buddha himself knew the truth...

I, the little mouse, really can't hold it in any longer!

Junior brother's mouth is really too sharp.

How come I never thought of the two Western Saints before, that they looked like two stinking beggars?!

no no no...

I can't think about it anymore.

Hold on, hold on!

You absolutely have to hold back!

You absolutely mustn't laugh at this moment, because if you do, there'll be no way to explain it.

And so all that could be seen was the Buddha frantically suppressing his expression…

The person looked extremely distorted and extremely abstract.

Not far from the Buddha, the Holy Mother of Golden Spirit couldn't help but ask a question upon seeing the Buddha's abstract expression.

"You bald monk...is your face twitching?!"
