Honghuang: Fire De Huaguang, I am the Horse King of Human Education

"Rest assured, both of you. The flames are now in a state of intense burning and I no longer need to watch over them."

Upon hearing that alchemy had reached this level, even Buddha could only pray that Sun Wukong would survive.

"The actions of the Heavenly Court will naturally be punished by the Dao Ancestor. Remember what happened today."

Even after hearing his harsh words, Laozi still refused to leave.

Asking with doubt.

"Why are you still here, fellow Daoist? Do you think Sun Wukong still has a chance to survive?"

The Buddha did not respond, awaiting the final outcome.

Lao Tzu continued speaking.

"Seeing how much you like Sun Wukong, I will give you a golden pill as a memento after the alchemy is finished."

The Buddha gritted his teeth but refused to respond to his words.

However, in case Tathagata Buddha still wanted to rush into the Eight Views Palace, Laozi and Kong Xuan were still on guard against the two of them.

The Eight Views Palace, within the Purple Gold Furnace.

When Sun Wukong was imprisoned, Laozi sent him a telepathic message.

"Rest assured, temper your body in the Purple Gold Furnace. You are only one step away from becoming a saint in your physical body. Temper your Fiery Eyes."

Sun Wukong was grateful for Laozi's words and focused intently on his cultivation in the alchemy furnace.

When the forty-ninth day arrived, Buddha still had no chance to break in, but no unusual phenomena appeared in the sky. Buddha could only pray that Sun Wukong was alright.

"Fellow Daoist seems to be in a great hurry. In that case, please come with me to witness the ceremony."

Laozi (the Supreme Lord Lao) is about to open the Purple Gold Furnace.

Just as Laozi returned to the Eight Views Palace and opened the alchemy furnace...

Sun Wukong burst out from within.

His eyes were now glowing with a fiery gold.

His body looked as if it were plated with gold.

He saw Buddha and Guanyin.

Naturally, they believed that they were in league with Laozi.

"You two bald monks actually conspired with this old scoundrel to harm me!"

Laozi was shocked when he heard Sun Wukong speak.

"Even the Samadhi True Fire couldn't refine you!"

Taking advantage of Laozi's distraction, Sun Wukong kicked over the Purple Gold Furnace, and Laozi's Eight Trigrams Palace burst into flames.

Sun Wukong refused to give up and turned to run to the Heavenly Court.

Laozi has subdued Sun Wukong, and they have already dismantled the great formation.

This gave Sun Wukong an opportunity, and he broke into the Lingxiao Palace.

"You old Jade Emperor, how dare you harm me! Today I will make sure your Heavenly Court never has a day of peace again."

Buddha and Guanyin were overjoyed. Forty-nine days had been too difficult for them, but now the outcome was good.

Seeing that Sun Wukong was going to provoke him again, the two of them followed. Sun Wukong saw that they were not hindering him, so he did not pay them much attention.

When Haotian saw that Sun Wukong had actually returned to the Heavenly Court, he was dumbfounded.

"The demon monkey is still alive?"

"How is this possible? He can still be alive in Laozi's Purple Gold Furnace."

Hearing the crowd's shock, Sun Wukong took out the Ruyi Jingu Bang (the magic staff).

"Take this from my staff!"

When the magic needle fell, the entire Heavenly Court trembled.

Sun Wukong refused to give up and continued to attack.

Seeing that Sun Wukong was relentless.

Haotian still wanted to make a move.

Unexpectedly, Buddha followed.

"Haotian, this is your Heavenly Court's last chance. Do not attack Sun Wukong again, or I will suppress him!"

Upon hearing this, Haotian warned Tathagata.

"If you still want to take this opportunity to attack the Heavenly Court, I will not allow the Buddhist plan to succeed."

Both parties reached an agreement.

The Buddha appeared.

Sun Wukong continued his attack, only to find himself surrounded by a thick fog.

Before he could figure out what was going on, he saw a five-finger mountain appear in front of him.

"Where is this? I was just in the Heavenly Court a moment ago."

"You old Jade Emperor, is this your scheme? You want to trap me? I will not let you succeed."

He flew to a certain place and found that no matter which way he went, he always returned to the starting point. In a fit of anger, he began to pound his five fingers.

However, to Tathagata, his attacks were like tickling.

The Buddha's head appeared high in the sky.

"It's you! You old bald monk, why did you trap me? Do you also want to be my enemy?"

Sun Wukong recognized Buddha and pointed at him, cursing him.

Buddha shook his head.

"Stone Monkey, you are by nature unruly and dissolute. Now you have offended the Heavenly Court. I will imprison you under the Five Fingers Mountain. If you can repent and reform, someone will take you away from the Five Fingers Mountain."

After hearing this, Sun Wukong spat fiercely.

"Who do you think you are, daring to trap me! I have done nothing wrong!"

"Let me leave immediately."

After hearing this, Buddha smiled slightly.

"Since you want to leave, let's make a bet."

Sun Wukong was getting impatient.

"Spit it out! If I win, release me."

But the Buddha reminded him.

What if we lose?

Sun Wukong wasn't one to back down from a loss, so he spoke up himself.

"If we lose, we'll do as you say."

The Buddha agreed.

"In that case, you can try to leave the Five Finger Mountain area. If you succeed, I will let you leave."

After hearing this, Sun Wukong began to try various methods.

Unfortunately, none of them succeeded.

He wandered around without leaving, and the Buddha's voice fell again.

"Since you lost, you should accept the consequences of your bet."

Before Sun Wukong could say anything more, he felt dizzy and lightheaded.

His body was suppressed by the Five Finger Mountain and fell from the sky, landing in the Southern Jambudvipa.

As the Five Finger Mountain descended, a golden decree drifted in, containing the power of the Tathagata.

Even with all his tricks, Sun Wukong could not escape the Five Finger Mountain that he had reinforced.

Seeing that Sun Wukong had been suppressed, the Heavenly Court simply let the matter drop.

Haotian looked at Sun Wukong and sighed inwardly, thinking how hard Yang Jiao had lived his life.

Immediately afterwards, Buddhism made other arrangements, and when the Buddha left, he did not allow Guanyin to leave.

"Sun Wukong's character still needs further refinement. Guanyin, you should gain his trust and when the time comes, let him accompany Jin Chanzi on his journey to the West to retrieve the scriptures."

Guanyin had no choice but to agree after hearing this.

With success drawing ever closer, he couldn't give up.

"Yes, Buddha."

……

After the Buddha returned to Mount Ling.

The Heavenly Court was thinking about the fact that Sun Wukong had been suppressed for five hundred years.

"Your Majesty, five hundred years is too long. Since Buddhism needs Jin Chanzi, let him reincarnate quickly! What do you say?"

Venus's beard grew back, he suggested.

Haotian nodded.

"That's certainly a good idea, but who should go?"

He wasn't sure.

After learning that the Heavenly Court had suffered a severe blow, Ziwei and the others sent a message to Haotian.

"Your Majesty, please contact us if you have any needs."

Haotian was also moved when he heard the telepathic message.

“Jin Chanzi’s reincarnation is too slow. Why not help him? Five hundred years is too long. One hundred years is about right.”

"Remember to tell Sun Wukong this news; the play can't go too far."

Haotian reminded Ziwei and the others, and Ziwei understood what she needed to do after hearing it.

Jiang Ziya and his men had been waiting for a long time.

They were very excited to hear about the operation.

"Perfect, let's have our junior brother participate. Let's go." (End of Chapter)
