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

Although the Thousand-Mile Eye and the Wind-Following Ear did not know Sun Wukong's origins, nor did they know that the giant stick that had just pierced through the Heavenly Court was Sun Wukong's weapon.

However, the Jade Emperor, being a peak Quasi-Saint and the Great Heavenly Venerable of the Three Realms, actually knew from the moment Sun Wukong was born that Sun Wukong was the chosen one in this Journey to the West calamity…

Moreover, the Jade Emperor knew more than just that.

Previously, the Tongtian Sect Leader and the Jade Emperor had discussed the matter of the Great Tribulation of Journey to the West.

This includes not only Li Xuancang's entry into the Heavenly Court, but also the cooperation between the Heavenly Court and the Jie Sect.

They also talked about Sun Wukong.

The Master of the Heavens did not hide anything from the Jade Emperor, because the two were going to cooperate anyway and were a united front within the Xuanmen (Taoist sect).

The Great Tribulation of Journey to the West was a struggle between the Taoist and Buddhist sects, so the Tongtian Sect Leader also told the Jade Emperor about how he transformed into the Patriarch Subhuti and took Sun Wukong as his disciple.

Therefore, the Jade Emperor already knew where Sun Wukong's master was.

Even when Sun Wukong went to the Dragon Palace of the East Sea to borrow treasures, before the Dragon King even came to Heaven to report, the Jade Emperor already knew everything...

The Jade Emperor naturally knew that the stick that had just caused the disaster was the work of Sun Wukong.

After hearing the reports from the all-seeing eye and the all-hearing ear, the Jade Emperor smiled helplessly, thinking to himself.

My senior brother Tongtian's disciple is really good at causing trouble.

They've only just gotten their hands on the treasure, and they've already sent their sticks shoving into my Heavenly Court...

Who knows what this little monkey will do next.

However, this little monkey is quite intelligent; no wonder Senior Brother Tongtian took it as his disciple...

His cleverness is quite endearing.

Having thought of this, the Jade Emperor decided to summon Li Xuancang to discuss the matter.

Li Xuancang is currently the leader of the Jiejiao immortals in the Heavenly Court, and he also wields the Qingping Sword, thus representing Tongtian Jiaozhu to a certain extent.

The Jade Emperor understood that the Tongtian Sect Leader's handing over the Qingping Sword to Li Xuancang must have had a deeper meaning...

Furthermore, there are many variables in the primordial world nowadays. The Jade Emperor had previously tried to deduce Li Xuancang, but it was all in chaos.

A state of utter chaos, yet he was accepted as a disciple by the Tongtian Sect Leader.

The Jade Emperor believed that Li Xuancang was the greatest variable in this great calamity of the Journey to the West…

Looking at the all-seeing eye and the all-hearing ear who were still waiting for his reply, the Jade Emperor spoke softly.

"I already know. Perhaps some immortal is simply playing with a treasure. Let's ignore him."

Thus, the Thousand-Mile Eye and the Wind-Following Ear retreated, and the Jade Emperor then instructed Venus to summon Li Xuancang to the Tongming Palace.

While Li Xuancang was still pondering which powerful figures to recruit to his ranks in order to expand his power, he saw Venus arrive at his marshal's mansion.

"Haha... Old Star Lord, what brings you here?"

Venus is a kind-hearted person in Heaven, always smiling at everyone he meets.

However, Li Xuancang would not underestimate this old star lord.

After all, the quasi-saint aura surrounding Venus is undeniable...

Moreover, Venus is associated with killing and warfare. If you really think that Venus is a kind and benevolent old man, then you are very wrong!

Venus smiled at Li Xuancang, cupped his hands in greeting, and then spoke.

"Marshal Li, His Majesty is in the Tongming Hall. It seems he has important matters to discuss with you. Please come to the Tongming Hall."

Upon hearing this, Li Xuancang perked up somewhat.

What did the Jade Emperor want to talk to me about?

Could it be something about Sun Wukong?

"Thank you for informing me, Elder Star Lord. Please lead the way, Elder Star Lord..."

And so, led by Venus, Li Xuancang arrived at the Tongming Palace.

All that could be seen was the Jade Emperor reclining on a soft couch, seemingly deep in thought with his eyes closed.

"Your subject, Li Xuancang, greets Your Majesty!"

Hearing the commotion, the Jade Emperor opened his eyes, chuckled, and shook his head.

"Nephew, why are you speaking so formally to your uncle?"

"Now that he's become the Marshal of Heaven, even the way he speaks has changed..."

"That's not right! Although I am the Great Celestial Venerable, I am also your Martial Uncle."

"Whether in Heaven or anywhere else in the future, if you still consider me your senior uncle, just call me senior uncle."

The Jade Emperor's attitude was very kind, which made Li Xuancang smile.

In fact, Li Xuancang understood that the Jade Emperor was telling him that they were not ruler and subject, but family!

"This disciple thanks you greatly, Uncle-Master! I will obey your orders!"

Upon hearing this, the Jade Emperor smiled and nodded. Then, with a flick of his sleeve, various spiritual fruits and immortal wines appeared on the table in front of him.

The Jade Emperor pointed to a peach on a plate...

"Xuan Cang, please have a taste. These are peaches from the Heavenly Peach Garden, nine thousand years old. I usually can't bear to take them out!"

"Thank you, Martial Uncle!"

Li Xuancang didn't mince words. The peach tree was an innate spiritual root, and the nine-thousand-year-old peach was the most top-tier spiritual root in the Heavenly Court.

There is a rumor that if an ordinary person eats one of these, they can live forever.

Li Xuancang had never tasted a nine-thousand-year-old peach before, so he picked it up and started biting into it...

Upon tasting the food, Li Xuancang immediately felt a surge of improvement in his magical power.

This is definitely good stuff!!!

While eating peaches, he looked up at the Jade Emperor.

"May I ask what brings you here, Uncle-Master?"

The Jade Emperor also picked up a peach and ate it while saying something.

"My senior brother Tongtian had told me about Wukong before, and I also know that Wukong is a disciple taken in by my senior brother in the form of Subhuti."

"You should know about Wukong's identity, Xuancang, during this great calamity in the Journey to the West, right?"

Li Xuancang nodded.

"This disciple naturally understands. Back on Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, Master told me that Wukong is the chosen one for this great calamity of Journey to the West..."

"Moreover, Wukong's origins are extraordinary. The immortal stone on Flower Fruit Mountain is no ordinary object; it is a five-colored divine stone left behind by the goddess Nuwa when she mended the sky."

"After that, it will absorb the essence of the sun and moon, and the essence of heaven and earth."

"Later, by a stroke of luck, it fused with the essence and blood of the Chaos Demon Ape, one of the innate demon gods, and gradually developed sentience..."

Upon hearing Li Xuancang's words, the Jade Emperor nodded.

"Xuan Cang, you're right. Wukong's background is indeed extraordinary, and he is truly the chosen one destined for the Journey to the West!"

"Now that the great calamity of Journey to the West is about to begin, I'd like to ask you, what do you think should be done with Wukong?"

"Because the Western Buddhist sects will also be focusing their attention on Wukong next, and they might try to scheme against him."

"Now that Wukong has gone to the Dragon Palace and obtained the treasure, what do you think our Heavenly Court should do next?"
