Chapter 921 Heavenly Laws Are Ruthless, Etiquette and Laws Are Restraining

Laozi and the Jade Emperor cooperated, restrained, and concealed each other's secrets.

Even though they cooperated more closely due to the pressure from external enemies, they still held back several tricks, and even left behind some trump cards to restrain each other.

They cooperate on the surface, but harbor ulterior motives.

How could a Heavenly Court and the Tushita Palace possibly defeat Flower Fruit Mountain?
The Jade Emperor raised his blunt, bladeless golden sword: "With the Heavenly Law in my hand, I have not yet lost."

"A mere woman, along with you bunch of monkey demons, think you can defeat me? That's wishful thinking."

"This is still the Three Realms, and I am still the Supreme Being of the Three Realms!"

The Jade Emperor raised his golden sword high and threw it far away.

Sun Wukong raised his Ruyi Jingu Bang horizontally, and Fei Peng and Chong Lou dared not be careless either.

No matter how much they verbally provoke and belittle the Jade Emperor

However, they were well aware of the Jade Emperor's importance and dared not be careless or negligent in front of him.

Especially Fei Peng and Chong Lou, who had fought against the Heavenly Emperor alongside Hu Xiuwu and the Goddess Nuwa, had a deeper understanding of the abilities of the Great Luo Golden Immortals.

That's a realm that's close to fantasy coming true, a realm without limits.

The golden sword, named "Heavenly Law," flew with lightning speed as soon as it left his hand, burning as it rubbed against the wind and producing a thunderous sound.

It was like the simultaneous ringing of whips, drums, and jade chimes before a court assembly.
After the thunder, a solemn court assembly began.

The golden sword was nailed to the heavens, with no mountains in front and no clouds behind, simply stuck in the air.

But there was an atmosphere as heavy as the Three Mountains and Five Peaks, and the Thirty-Six Heavens pressing down at once, as if the ethereal Heavenly Dao and Destiny had been nailed to the spot by the golden sword, and the invisible, vast river and the enormous, majestic dragon had fallen here.

All the weight and pressure fell on Nuwa, Sun Wukong, Feipeng, and Chonglou.

The Heavenly Court assembly has begun.

The grand assembly began, with all the gods paying homage, the immortals bowing in submission, and the entire Three Realms and Six Paths looking up to the Jade Emperor.

Even if He is forced to take matters into His own hands, He will not be as pathetic as a mortal swordsman, wallowing in the mud and fighting a bloody battle.

Nuwa frowned slightly and planted the [Coffin Thunder Sound] on the ground.

Sun Wukong was pressed down, his teeth clenched, his hands bracing against the Ruyi Jingu Bang, his mind recalling the arduous days he spent under the Five Elements Mountain a thousand years ago.

For no apparent reason, he remembered the shepherd boy who used to feed him wild peaches.

Those were the sweetest peaches he had ever eaten, and the most sincere sentiments he had ever encountered.

But good deeds don't always go unrewarded!

After Sun Wukong emerged from the Five Elements Mountain, the shepherd boy was already over seventy years old. His children and wife had all passed away, and he only had a young grandson by his side. On that day, there were even bandits who wanted to seize his home.

The shepherd boy became part of the eighty-one tribulations, and he almost became a victim of the pilgrimage.

Sun Wukong detested this kind of thing, hating how mortals were sacrificed by those in power, which is why he left Mount Ling.

If mortals had one less Buddha on their heads, would things be a little easier?

Sun Wukong's simplest thought at the time.

Now, he faces the greatest burden on the shoulders of the shepherd boy and his grandson.

Thinking this, the golden light in Sun Wukong's eyes overflowed from their sockets, and new power surged within his body.

That power, much like the [Coffin Thunder Sound], supported Sun Wukong as he stood up.

Simple force,

Forces that are not subject to any constraints.

Dao Fruit [Power]

With sheer force, one can split mountains, destroy seas, create the heavens, and cleave the earth.

Although only a trace was caught, the seed had just been planted in the soil.

But he had finally embarked on this path, and Sun Wukong was now able to stand tall and look directly at the Jade Emperor.

"Insolence!" The Jade Emperor has ruled the Three Realms for tens of millions of years, mastering etiquette, law, and the Dao. Even the Heavenly Dao sometimes cannot defy His will.

Etiquette and laws must not be transgressed!

The Heavenly Law states: "Disrespect before the ruler will result in the destruction of one's form and soul."

[Heavenly Law] Upon entering Heaven, one is subject to the Heavenly Way, and the Jade Emperor punishes the traitors.

The Jade Emperor sits high in the heavens, only responsible for issuing commands and distributing gifts.

The immense power of the Great Luo flowed endlessly into the Heavenly Dao.

The will of Heaven will naturally transform it into divine punishment.

The Jade Emperor's calendar is already rooted in the Heavenly Way, and the Heavenly Way has become his weapon.

In particular, the [Heavenly Law] penetrated the Heavenly Dao, causing the power of ritual and law to manifest in the scene of the grand court assembly in the Heavenly Court's Lingxiao Palace.

This greatly enhanced the power of the Jade Emperor's Dao Fruit.

Even so, Sun Wukong was secretly relieved:

"Fortunately, Xiuwu was prepared in advance and removed all the four rivers and five mountains of the Heavenly Court in the mortal world. By chance, he weakened the Jade Emperor's control over the Heavenly Dao. If the Jade Emperor were at his peak, I really don't know how he would have been able to hide."

Not residing in the Heavenly Court, nor dwelling on Mount Ling, he is unruly and untamed throughout the Three Realms.

Sun Wukong is no longer the monkey he once was.

The Heavenly Rules and Regulations could not harm him.

Heavenly lightning couldn't hit him, the Nine Heavens Gale could scatter him with a single blow, and the Samadhi True Fire could be extinguished with a single force.

The three calamities of gods and immortals, which Sun Wukong once had to rely on to use the Seventy-Two Transformations to avoid, he can now withstand head-on with his own strength.

The Jade Emperor looked down at Sun Wukong and said approvingly, "It's been many years since I last saw you, you monkey, you've improved quite a bit."

He still maintained a superior attitude, as if he had witnessed some wonderful performance, and commented on Sun Wukong.

Etiquette and laws are restrictive and ever-present.

Sun Wukong only avoided what was in the open, but hidden in the shadows were still countless rules that meandered upwards and climbed onto Sun Wukong's body.

Like a snake crawling or an earthworm burrowing, it penetrates the internal organs without breaking the skin and flesh, attacks the brain, and entangles the primordial spirit.

Etiquette and law are never merciless, but they are also never openly wielding power or using sharp swords.

It hovers over everyone's head, becoming a rule that everyone consciously abides by, constraining everyone's actions and thoughts.

Even in modern times, etiquette and law still exist.

Wearing clothes is a modern custom when going out. Few people can go out naked and openly face everyone's scrutiny, malice, and disgust.

He was condemned by all and spat upon by thousands, and died without illness.

Sun Wukong remained as still as a statue, poised to strike with his staff, while his other monkey-hair clones, wielding the Three-Pointed Two-Blade Spear, the Azure Cloud Demon-Slaying Sword, and the Mountain-Splitting Axe, vanished amidst the popping sounds of bubbles.

Sun Wukong possesses immense strength, the power of seventy-two transformations, and an indestructible body made of copper and iron. Yet, he is powerless against the strange, ruthless, all-pervasive, and indestructible force that clings to his primordial spirit and spiritual altar.

This power has no known source and no trace. Even if Sun Wukong possessed the power to uproot Kunlun Mountain, he had nowhere to unleash it, and he looked around with his sword, feeling utterly lost.

He still hadn't truly grasped the essence of "power." Faced with the Jade Emperor's full-force display of Dao Fruit power, he could only passively defend himself, helpless and unable to do anything about it.

Nuwa, wielding the [Spirit Coffin Thunder Sound], possessed immense power that transcended the mortal world and could disregard social rules, which passively protected her.

Having power that transcends society, one naturally does not need to abide by social rules.

The Jade Emperor's "rites and laws" were powerless against the "coffin thunderous sound".

Nuwa's Dao Fruit can be forcibly called "Guardianship," but it cannot affect "Ritual and Law." She can only protect herself with the "Spirit Coffin Thunder Sound," and thus can only protect herself. She cannot protect Sun Wukong, Fei Peng, and Chonglou.

Without external forces, Sun Wukong, Fei Peng, and Chonglou would have become the second group of casualties in the battle against the Jade Emperor.

"You monkey, you're always a worry."

Sun Wukong was not yet freed, but an uncontrollable joy had already appeared in his eyes.

Such a familiar and dear voice, even though he hadn't heard it for over a thousand years, Sun Wukong still hadn't forgotten it. Just hearing one sentence stirred up countless emotions in his heart.
