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

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~"

Five streams of light fell, transforming into innate spiritual treasures that landed before Haotian. This was compensation from Tongtian, Zhulong, Kongxuan, Jinpeng, and Lu Er for breaking the teacup.

"You..." Tongtian pointed at Bodhi, who seemed completely unfazed, and his voice trembled.

"As my senior brother said, it's just a matter of sacrificing a little merit for the restoration of the Western Earth Veins," Bodhi said coolly, standing in the hall with his whisk in his hand.

Jieyin looked up at him and saw that his junior brother's eyes were stained with blood. He could only sigh and say, "This humble monk agrees to this."

This guy is insane!

A dark glint flashed in the eyes of the Three Pure Ones. Their attack struck at the heart of the matter. The world they had created was used to repair the West, which meant they had taken away the last of the major merits. Bodhi had nothing left to lose.

Seeing that Zhulongzhen Yuanzi and the others were tempted, the Three Pure Ones could only nod. If the two saints were moved, and this got out, all the gods and Buddhas in the heavens would be in the same boat. They would also be morally coerced.

"Okay." Lao Tzu breathed a sigh of relief, but his eyes were somewhat cold and sharp.

Bodhi didn't care. No matter how angry you are, you can't kill me!

"There are too many tribulations." Haotian shook his head. "If all the immortals were to descend to the mortal realm and set up a tribulation, the pilgrims might not even reach Mount Ling before their lives are over. It would be best to repair the Western ley lines as soon as possible."

The saints were startled; they had been too busy fighting for their own interests. What His Majesty wanted was to repair the earth's veins as soon as possible.

"Your Majesty, I dare to ask how many calamities Your Majesty deems appropriate," Bodhi said, bowing.

"Nine is the ultimate number; nine times nine equals eighty-one tribulations."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Bodhi lowered his eyelids. "The Heavenly Court governs the Three Realms. Please make your choice first, Your Majesty."

"These are minor matters; we can discuss them with all parties later." Haotian waved his hand dismissively. There were so many celestial beings in the Heavenly Court; he could easily send a few people to complete the task. He didn't care about such a small amount of merit.

Bodhi bowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

He faced the saints and slowly spoke: "The pilgrims are mortals, and it is not enough for the stone monkey to take care of them alone. Two more people will be needed to protect them. Moreover, they will have to travel on mounts, and ordinary horses may not be able to withstand the strain."

There will certainly be many demons and monsters along the way; how could an ordinary horse possibly cope with them?

The saints' eyes suddenly lit up. Just by setting up a trial, they could gain considerable merit. Following the pilgrim step by step to Mount Ling, the merit they would gain would surely be among the highest. It wouldn't be surprising if they even created a few quasi-saints!

Bodhi looked at the crowd and sneered. Why should he give it to you? He looked at the person at the head of the table and said, "Please assign it, Your Majesty."

Haotian and Yaochi exchanged a glance; it seemed this guy had given up.

"Yes, I will make arrangements afterward."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Bodhi smiled and looked around, knowing that His Majesty would never give up on creating two Quasi-Saints.

As for mounts, the Heavenly Court has plenty of rare birds and exotic beasts; once the journey to the West is over, one can even reach the Great Luo realm in one step.

Seeing Bodhi wreak havoc, Longji and the others were truly amazed. To be able to force a saint to such a state was quite an eye-opener.

"Let's conclude this discussion." Tongtian stroked the newly placed teacup behind him by the angel. "If it's over, you should all leave now."

His voice was exceptionally cold, like the mysterious ice buried beneath the North Sea for millions of years, and his eyes seemed to shoot out sharp swords.

The others' expressions changed slightly. Tongtian was truly furious and wanted to teach Bodhi a lesson after he left the Heavenly Court.

Bodhi snorted coldly, "I'll say it again, at most you can beat me up, but you can't kill me!"

I still have a trump card up my sleeve!

"This journey to the west is a major event. The more impressive the scale, the better. The more all living beings in the primordial world know about it, the more merit we will gain in the end."

"Just state your requirements," Zhen Yuanzi said impatiently.

Bodhi chuckled coldly twice: "The stone monkey needs to make a name for himself in the prehistoric world so that the pilgrims can subdue him in the future. Only then can the boundless power of Buddhism be demonstrated, and only then can this journey to the West attract the attention of all living beings."

"What, do you want us to cooperate with his act?" Zhen Yuanzi said unhappily. "My two friends, Kong Xuan and Jin Peng, once defeated you and became famous throughout the prehistoric world, but they relied on His Majesty's supernatural powers. As for that stone monkey, you taught him. In my opinion, he doesn't have such abilities."

Bodhi wasn't angry; he simply looked around and said, "How could he trouble you fellow Daoists to put on an act?"

"I think three places will suffice: make a ruckus in the East Sea, make a ruckus in the Underworld, and make a ruckus in... the Heavenly Court. That will be enough to establish our reputation."

With each word he spoke, the atmosphere in Longde Palace seemed to drop a little, but Bodhi remained fearless: "Fellow Daoists, you don't want this journey to the West to fail, do you?"

A fierce glint flashed across Yaochi's brows, and Zhulong suddenly stood up: "Your Majesty, may I make my move in the Longde Palace?"

Haotian closed his eyes briefly, and the Dragon Virtue Palace suddenly brightened. Flowers of time drifted around the Candle Dragon Lamp, completely surrounding Bodhi. The two remained locked in a stalemate, but not a trace of holy power emanated from them.

"Go, give him a couple of hits." Houtu sneered, and Zhen Yuanzi threw the Earth Book out to stabilize the hall, while his Three-Phase Divine Halberd thrust straight at him.

"Whoosh—"

Kong Xuan unleashed his five-colored divine light, transforming it into five sharp swords that plunged into Bodhi's body. Unaware of who had made the move, Jieyin felt a sharp pain at the back of his head and was also suppressed by the Earth Book. The screams of the two echoed throughout the Dragon Virtue Palace.

The Three Pure Ones sneered repeatedly. What Bodhi said was indeed very attractive, but in the end, he put them on the spot. They could still negotiate with the East Sea and the Underworld, but to cause such a ruckus in the Heavenly Court, did Bodhi really think that the Heavenly Saints were immortal?

The wind chimes rang again, the screams gradually subsided, the five-colored divine light dissipated, and Zhen Yuanzi, holding the Three-Phase Divine Halberd, looked at the several bloody holes on Jieyin Bodhi's body, a look of satisfaction flashing in his eyes. He had long wanted to deal with these two.

"Your Majesty, what Bodhi said makes sense." The Three Pure Ones bowed.

"Oh, do you three senior brothers really want to let that stone monkey cause trouble in the Heavenly Court?" Yaochi put down her teacup with a "clink," which made the three of them skip a beat.

"How dare I have such a thought?" Laozi shook his head, pointed to the world the three had created, and said, "Your Majesty, please manifest the illusory image of the Heavenly Court in this world, and then let the stone monkey enter."

Who would dare to cause trouble in the Heavenly Court? Even saints wouldn't dare. But if he went to the three places Bodhi mentioned, he would gain more merit in the future. That's why Zhulong was angry and took action but didn't refuse.

"Alright, as long as the stone monkey is captured in the Heavenly Court in the end, it won't damage the Heavenly Court's prestige." Haotian nodded. "No need to go to the Heavenly Court's illusory image, just here. I will instruct the immortals to show mercy, which will give them something to do."

Upon hearing this, Bodhi, who was lying in the hall, immediately raised his head. Was His Majesty so easy to talk to?

"Bodhi, what I want is to repair the Western Earth Veins. I have agreed to everything you have said. In any case, I want to see a satisfactory result. Do you understand?" Haotian lowered his gaze, showing no imposing manner, yet he made the Bodhi feel extremely dignified.

Bodhi's forehead instantly broke out in a sweat: "Yes, yes, Your Majesty, I will certainly make careful arrangements to prevent any mishaps in this matter."

"Yes, if that stone monkey comes to cause trouble in Heaven, you and Jieyin will have to compensate for everything that is damaged."

"Your Majesty, I understand." Bodhi breathed a sigh of relief. With his abilities, that monkey couldn't break through to the Quasi-Saint level. The most he could damage was a mid-grade innate spiritual treasure, which was worthy of his attention.

Haotian gave him a deep look, and sneered inwardly. It's good that you agreed so readily. Everything I arranged has already been secretly priced.
