Transmigrating into Haotian, ruling the Three Pure Ones and pacifying the primordial world.

The Three Pure Ones chuckled, and Tongtian coldly stared at Bodhi: "Now the leader of Buddhism is Shakyamuni. The great rise of Buddhism always requires him to finalize the plans. What gives you the right to make an example of us here?"

Bodhi's expression darkened, and Jieyin quickly chimed in, "Brother Bodhi accompanied this humble monk. Although I am the ancestor of all Buddhas and do not oversee Buddhist affairs, as a Western saint, this humble monk has the right to inquire into this matter."

Nuwa snorted coldly: "Whether you have power or not is none of my concern, but who this monkey will take as his master is a matter for me to decide, besides His Majesty!"

As soon as he finished speaking, not only were the Three Pure Ones astonished, but even the Bodhisattva was completely dumbfounded. You're not the Empress, what decision can you make!

Longji Bohuang and the others stood up in shock and looked at the head of the table. Yaochi paused, her hand holding the teacup, and her face darkened. What were they thinking?

Haotian coughed lightly, and Yaochi put down her teacup. The clinking sound broke the silence in the hall, and everyone realized what was happening and lowered their heads.

Nuwa glanced at the group with her beautiful eyes. These guys...

With a flick of her sleeve, ripples spread through the void. A moment later, her face turned awkward. The imperial power within the Dragon Virtue Palace was too strong; even she found it difficult to use the Round Light Technique.

Seeing this, Yaochi pointed with her jade finger, helping to reveal the scene of Flower and Fruit Mountain.

The cliffs rise one after another, the peaks stand tall and strange, the phoenix perches on the cliffs, the unicorn lies in the valley, the black crane and the spirit fox come and go in the forest, the rare flowers and jade grass never wither, the ancient pines and tall bamboos are always shrouded in clouds, and the vines and creepers in the valleys never cease to entwine.

A stone monkey emerged from the grass and trees, with extraordinary features: open ears, a body covered in golden fur, boundless brute strength in its limbs, and eyes that held the spiritual light of the sun and moon. Every move it made was natural and unrestrained by worldly conventions, and its wild nature was born in itself.

Looking at the unruly spirit between his brows and his burning gaze, Lu Er couldn't help but smile. Only in this way could he be worthy of being from the same origin as him.

Nuwa's eyes flashed with affection as she watched him, barefoot and naked, wandering through the mountains and forests, his movements as swift as the wind, his expression so vivid. A smile involuntarily appeared on her face.

"What does Senior Sister want to say?" Bodhi observed Nuwa's expression, and his heart skipped a beat. Had he overlooked something?

The reason he needed His Majesty's permission to accept disciples, and why the Three Pure Ones didn't just compete for them directly, was because they saw a world appearing behind Flower Fruit Mountain. It was a world connected to it within the canopy of the World Tree, and it was obvious that it was the work of the Heavenly Emperor.

His Majesty knew about the monkey long ago, so naturally they dared not act rashly.

"Aren't you surprised that he has golden light of merit on him?" Nuwa pointed at the stone monkey in the round mirror, a smile playing on her lips.

Bodhi was stunned: "Wasn't it His Majesty who made it?"

Although the stone monkey was born with inherent merit, the sages' discernment was not that poor. The Antarctic Master Yun Zhongzi had abundant blessings and a peaceful temperament, but this stone monkey was secretly inclined to killing and was definitely not a true immortal with blessings.

"I don't have the time for that," Haotian chuckled.

"Speaking of which, this monkey should also call me Mother," Nuwa said softly. In an instant, the truth became clear, and everyone's faces showed a look of sudden realization.

When Di Jun and Tai Yi self-destructed and shattered the Heavenly Court, Nuwa repaired it with five-colored stones. The remaining liquid in the Qiankun Cauldron gave birth to this stone monkey.

It is indeed a divine object used to repair the heavens. No wonder the heavens trembled when it was born, and there is still a connection between them.

"No wonder he has golden light of merit on him." Bodhi took a deep breath, his gaze lingering on the round mirror.

In Flower and Fruit Mountain, stone monkeys eat grass and drink from mountain streams, pick wildflowers, and seek out tree fruits; they are accompanied by wolves and insects, tigers and leopards, deer and monkeys.

Leaping over cliffs and ancient trees, wandering among dense vines and fragrant grasses, climbing high to view the vast sea, sitting quietly to listen to the pine breeze, carefree and unrestrained, embodying a state of natural ease.

Watching the golden fur sway gently in the wind, Bodhi said in a deep voice, "Although the most important material for mending the heavens was the five-colored stone, His Majesty also produced many spiritual creatures. If we're talking about it, the stone monkey might be able to call His Majesty 'Father Emperor'."

As soon as he finished speaking, Longde Palace fell silent. Yaochi glanced over with a cold look, and Bodhi groaned and took a few steps back, clutching his chest.

Long Ji and Xuan Tian exchanged somewhat subtle glances, when a woman from the head of the table coldly shouted, "If you dare to spout nonsense again, I will immediately expel you from the Heavenly Court."

"I misspoke," Bodhi quickly apologized.

Haotian shook his head and chuckled, "There's no need for the father-son thing. This monkey was just repairing the remaining five-colored stones of the Heavenly Court. He didn't get any of my blood or soul on him, so there's no need to bring up such a relationship."

Fuxi spoke up at the opportune moment: "Since Your Majesty has no special relationship with this monkey, would you like to appoint a master for him? If not, my sister is the stone monkey's mother and can decide which master he should study under."

The expression on Bodhi's face changed. Fuxi was always good at grasping the secrets of heaven. Nuwa must have brought him here to check for omissions and fill gaps, so as not to fall into the trap of other people's words.

"Your Majesty, Her Majesty, the Lady of Peace requests an audience," the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden bowed and reported.

"Announce!"

As Houtu, dressed in a yellow gown, entered, the saints bowed, their eyes filled with curiosity. Why was she here too? Judging from her aura…

"Greetings, Your Majesty and Your Highness." Houtu bowed and was led to sit down next to Zhen Yuanzi.

Zhen Yuanzi's ears twitched, and he telepathically relayed what had happened. Houtu chuckled, "I was in seclusion, but I was unexpectedly forced to leave because of the stone monkey incident. It's quite a karmic entanglement!"

Amitabha Buddha's face darkened. What did he mean by that? Did he also want to steal the stone monkey?

"Hasn't Your Majesty already broken through?" Bodhi took a deep breath and said with a forced smile.

Houtu glanced at him sideways: "What does it matter to you whether I break through or not? That stone monkey isn't yours either. Why are you jumping around like this? If it weren't for that stone monkey's commotion, I might have been able to break through to the ninth level of the Primordial Chaos Realm!"

Not to mention Bodhi, even Nuwa's face darkened: "Sister, isn't this going too far?"

Could a stone monkey withstand the karmic consequences of the Nine Heavens of Primordial Chaos?

Houtu gave her a look, and said, "This is just what I was saying."

Bodhi closed his eyes, turned to Nuwa, and bowed: "Senior Sister, that stone monkey needs someone to teach him. Are you going to just leave him to his own devices on Flower Fruit Mountain? This is no longer the era of innate gods and demons. Although his spiritual energy is no less than that of a Golden Immortal, he has no method of inheritance!"

"I will naturally find him a suitable master." Nuwa snorted coldly. She was skilled in the art of creation, and this monkey was clearly a troublemaker. She was not suitable to teach him.

Bodhi said humbly, "Senior Sister, Heaven has shown that I am destined to be with him. We are from the same school, and this monkey is the key to the great prosperity of the West. Please, Senior Sister, show mercy."

The Three Pure Ones sneered in unison, about to speak, but were interrupted by Nuwa: "What you said makes a lot of sense. I don't care who this monkey takes as his master, as long as I think it's good for him."

"But you two are not suitable." Nuwa smiled sarcastically, and as Bodhi was about to argue, Nuwa shook her index finger. "It's not for any other reason than that I really can't rest easy about your character."

Longji and the others who had not yet become saints all lowered their heads to suppress their laughter, but the saints were not so reserved and burst into laughter.

Amitabha Buddha's face turned red; this was already the umpteenth time they had been retaliated against for their past lack of virtue!

"Please, Your Majesty, make the decision!" The two knelt and kowtowed. Nuwa was unwilling, so she could only try to deal with His Majesty, who had once promised the great prosperity of Buddhism.

Nuwa's expression changed slightly. She could indeed make all the decisions regarding the stone monkey, provided that His Majesty did not interfere. Fuxi shook his head slightly at her. They could not defy His Majesty's decision.

Having watched a good show, Haotian glanced at Lu Er and slowly said, "I actually have a good idea, so we don't have to keep fighting over it."
