Chapter 351 The Monkey and the Eight Trigrams Furnace
dong dong dong dong!
A burst of rousing drumbeats echoed from the Heavenly Court, and streaks of light flashed by. Soon, the Lingxiao Palace was filled with immortals in formation.

The court assembly, held once every Yuanhui (a period of time), is a must-see attraction in Heaven.

At this moment, the Lingxiao Palace was so quiet that even throwing a few stones could hit several Quasi-Saints.

Today's affairs of the Heavenly Court are nothing out of the ordinary, nothing to say, after all, the prehistoric world has been at peace for a long time.

Interestingly, a monkey is coming to the Lingxiao Palace today.

Monkey King, Monkey King!
After the name Sun Wukong spread, countless immortals were shocked. Even the Great Luo Quasi-Saints were stunned. Although this monkey cultivated quickly, what merit did he have to be called the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, especially since it was a title bestowed by the Heavenly Court?!
Many people's curiosity about the monkey led them to this Heavenly Court assembly.

Sun Wukong was led into the Lingxiao Palace by Daoist Duobao, and for a moment, he was astonished by the group of quasi-saints who were ranked among the immortals.

His cultivation at the Great Luo Dao Realm was not even considered high in the Heavenly Court!

"First, pay your respects to the Heavenly Emperor," instructed Daoist Duobao.

Sun Wukong looked at the empty throne, blinked, and asked in confusion, "Where is the Heavenly Emperor?"

"The Heavenly Emperor is in seclusion." Daoist Duobao's expression was also slightly subtle.

As a veteran minister of the Heavenly Court, he had actually only seen the True Heavenly Emperor a handful of times in the Lingxiao Palace.

"Huh? Haha, the Heavenly Emperor is in seclusion?!" Sun Wukong suddenly realized something and burst into laughter.

But the next moment, he couldn't laugh anymore. "Ah, no... I just thought of a joke circulating on the common knowledge talisman."

Who hasn't used the Primordial Knowledge Talisman yet!

The Taoist priest Duobao remained expressionless, attempting to teach Sun Wukong a lesson: no matter how funny something is, you must not laugh!

"Heh, this monkey has some guts." At this moment, Fuxi suddenly laughed, and the atmosphere in the Lingxiao Palace immediately relaxed, with many immortals showing smiles.

Sun Wukong was puzzled. Wasn't his senior brother Duobao not supposed to smile?

Daoist Duobao looked at Sun Wukong with a smile and gestured for him to come forward.

Sun Wukong also remembered what he had come for, and strode forward, bowing to Fuxi to express his gratitude, "Thank you, Emperor Fu, for bestowing upon me the title of 'Great Sage Equal to Heaven.' Emperor Fu truly understands my thoughts; this title is destined for me."

Duobao's expression stiffened slightly. "I didn't teach you to say that!"
"Hmm." Fuxi chuckled and nodded. "Your talent is exceptional and should not be wasted. Fellow Daoist Shangqing told me that you have the potential to become a Grand Luo Golden Immortal."

Upon hearing this, all the immortals were astonished.

"Huh?" Sun Wukong scratched his head. "Does my teacher think so highly of me?"

"Ahem!" Daoist Duobao coughed twice to clear his throat.

Sun Wukong glanced at Duobao Daoist and immediately remembered his purpose.

"I have no way to repay the Emperor's kindness..." Following the instructions of the Taoist Master Duobao, Sun Wukong expressed his gratitude to Fuxi, and also asked for a position in the Heavenly Court.

This was also the intention of the Shangqing Sage. He had already contacted Fuxi and paid a price to secure this opportunity for Sun Wukong.

The Heavenly Court is ultimately the place closest to the origin of the Heavenly Dao. For a cultivator with extraordinary comprehension like Sun Wukong, being closer to the origin of the Heavenly Dao means gaining even more.

“Alright.” Fuxi agreed immediately. He thought for a moment about where within the Heavenly Court’s territory he could put a monkey.

Growing peaches is definitely not an option, and there are already people raising horses. The Heavenly Court has so many Great Luo Quasi-Saints that they don't need a monkey.

Neither sea creatures nor underground creatures will do; the dragon and witch clans are not weak at all now, and a monkey would be killed if it went there.

"Then let's go to the Starry Sea." After much deliberation, Fuxi assigned Sun Wukong to the primordial Starry Sea.

It's not far from the origin of the Heavenly Dao, and there are countless stars to comprehend. Even the Zhou Tian Star Array is located there.

"Let him be a star patroller for now." Fuxi waved his hand, and a beam of starlight fell upon the monkey.

"Thank you, Emperor Fu!" The monkey was very satisfied, and the other disciples of the Jie Sect were also very satisfied. After all, that was the territory of Doumu Yuanjun Jinling Shengmu, and the monkey couldn't bear any grievances... right?

The ripples caused by Sun Wukong quickly subsided, and the prehistoric world returned to its previous state of calm yet vigorous development.

Fang Xun and the others had already laid a solid foundation for the prehistoric world, so their departure of a few hundred or a few thousand yuan would have no impact.

In the vast starry sky, a stream of light flowed among the various stars; that was none other than the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, Sun Wukong.

He thoroughly enjoyed his role as a star surveyor, finding great benefit in comprehending the unique power of each star to his cultivation.

He didn't miss a single star, and soon arrived at the star field under Haotian's control.

"Senior Haotian? I am Sun Wukong, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, the new Star Patrol Envoy, just here to take a look!" This is Sun Wukong's usual way of making friends.

"Come in." The doors to Haotian's Star Palace opened directly, inviting him inside.

The moment he stepped inside, his body no longer belonged to him.

Haotian's palace was completely isolated from the outside world. Under the manipulation of Hongjun Daoren, even the Shangqing Sage could not detect the changes here.

"Greetings, Dao Ancestor." Haotian bowed from the side.

Sun Wukong's body is now completely under the control of Hongjun Daoren.

Hongjun Daoist moved this body and nodded gently.

"What is the master planning to do?" Haotian finally couldn't help but ask.

Of course, he was more afraid that what Hongjun did would only harm him.

"Those three Heavenly Emperors have been in seclusion for too long." Hongjun Daoist silently looked at the starry sky outside, as if he could see the three Heavenly Emperors in seclusion in the Heavenly Court.

The Heavenly Emperor? Haotian felt a tremor in his Dao heart. He knew his original destiny, but he couldn't muster any will to resist or fight for that position.

"I need to know what they're doing, especially Ye!" Hongjun Daoist clenched his hands slightly, his brow twitching.

He is Hongjun, and also the God of Destiny. His mastery of destiny was unparalleled in the heavens before those supreme beings returned.

The seclusion of these three Heavenly Emperors, especially Ye Tiandi, made this Destiny Demon God restless.

His path urged him to come here to check on Ye Tiandi's condition.

"Your and Yaochi's origins." At this moment, Hongjun Daoist waved his hand, and two streams of origins fell into Haotian's hands.

"From this day forward, we shall have no further contact." Hongjun Daoist sat down cross-legged and began to use Sun Wukong's body to merge with Hanuman's essence.

This was a long process, and naturally he didn't stay with Haotian for long, continuing to move among the stars as Sun Wukong had always done.

Until several hundred dollars later. Boom!
A terrifying aura of nothingness spread from a small star in all directions.

That is the Dao of Nothingness, a symbol of the Quasi-Saint realm!
"Someone has unearthed a benevolent corpse again?" Bian Zhuang, the naval commander stationed at Tianhe, was the first to notice the Daoist aura of nothingness, and his face was full of envy.

He is also a Great Luo Supreme Being, but he is insignificant in the current Heavenly Court and can only come here to "guard the pond".

He also wanted to become a quasi-saint, but he couldn't grasp the basics of the Reverse Proof of Limitlessness. Although he had some understanding of the method of severing the three corpses, he was far from being able to sever the corpses.

"Let me see who it is?" Bian Zhuang looked at the star, then his eyes widened suddenly, "Sun Wukong!"

He recognized the monkey, which made him even more shocked.

"Is Sun Wukong going to dismember the corpse?!"

In fact, he wasn't the only one who was frightened; all those above the Great Luo level, including even the saints, were startled at this moment.

It's only a few hundred years away from Sun Wukong attaining the Great Luo Immortal Realm!
A few hundred yuan is all it takes to start dismembering a corpse?

This is beyond the comprehension of all cultivators. The method of severing the three corpses is much simpler than the method of reversing the proof of the limitless, but it still requires a lot of time to comprehend.

A few hundred yuan would be too fast, abnormally fast!
"Wukong?" The Sage of Shangqing was most concerned and calculated with his fingers.

"The problem lies in its very origin!" The Shangqing Sage soon found the answer.

"The Chaos Demon Ape's very essence is beginning to backfire?!" The Shangqing Sage exclaimed in shock and anger.

The Chaos Demon Ape has now followed Fang Xun and others on their expedition to the mythical world, and through battle after battle, it has recovered to the level of a Primordial Golden Immortal.

How could Sun Wukong, a monkey at the Great Luo Dao Realm, withstand such a backlash from his very origin?!
Roar!
A terrifying roar came from the star, extremely violent and bloodthirsty. Sun Wukong's mind had been completely corrupted by that source!
His body suddenly swelled up, transforming into a blood-red berserk ape standing on starry skies.

The ape's eyes were filled with a desire for killing and destruction. A stick flew out of his ear and landed in his hand.

"Up, up, up!"

The Ruyi Jingu Bang (Monkey King's Staff) grew rapidly, with a massive amount of chaotic light emanating from it. But in the next instant, it was covered by blood fire, igniting the sea of ​​stars!
This Ruyi Jingu Bang was forged by the Shangqing Sage from a collection of many rare treasures. It was only slightly inferior to a top-grade innate spiritual treasure. Now, after being stained by blood fire, it has been elevated to an even higher level!
"Wukong, be quiet!" Doumu Yuanjun appeared in the sea of ​​stars, her face very ugly. She unleashed the Dragon-Tiger Ruyi in her hand, and the Four Symbols Pagoda also pressed down!

If a teacher's favorite student gets into trouble in her jurisdiction, she is responsible and must suppress the incident.

Although the Golden Spirit Mother was included in the Investiture of the Gods, making it difficult for her to advance further in cultivation, she was still one of the strongest combatants among the disciples of the Intercepting Sect, possessing extremely formidable strength.

As soon as she made her move, it was as if a sky full of stars pressed down, forming a sealing array to lock the blood-red raging ape inside.

Roar!
Under attack and suppression, the blood fire on the golden cudgel in the hands of the Blood-Red Violent Ape became even more terrifying. He raised the golden cudgel, which was no smaller than the Kunlun Mountain, and smashed it down fiercely!

clang!
The Four Symbols Pagoda was actually shaken open!
The starlight in the sky was burned away by the blood and fire!
"What?" The Golden Spirit Mother was stunned, and the other Great Luo Quasi-Saints were incredulous.

Golden Spirit Mother is among the strongest of the Quasi-Saints, yet this Blood-Red Violent Ape was able to smash open her spiritual treasure.

"As expected of the origin of the Chaos Demon Ape, and it has even been strengthened by the Goddess Nuwa!"

While the Golden Spirit Mother and the other Quasi-Saints were in shock, the Crimson Violent Ape leaped out of the Starlight Array and used its own body as a weapon to smash into the Heavenly Court!
The Holy Mother of Golden Spirits' expression turned serious; she was truly taking it seriously.

Perhaps killing Wukong's junior brother once wouldn't be a bad choice?

Perhaps if he is resurrected, he will be able to get rid of this crazy state?

A sword appeared in Jin Ling's hand, with wisps of blood-red sword energy swirling around it—the Sword of the End of Shangqing!

The other disciples of the Jie Sect all changed their expressions. Had this escalated to the point of killing each other?

"Junior Sister Jinling, don't rush, let me handle it." At this moment, a helpless voice rang out, and a man wearing a crane cloak and with his hair tied up in a Taoist crown appeared beside the Holy Mother Jinling.

"Senior Brother Xuandu?" Jinling Shengmu was also slightly surprised.

"Hmm." The newcomer was none other than the long-absent Grand Master Xuandu.

There are rumors among the Great Luo Quasi-Saints that this Grand Master is already in seclusion, attempting to break through to the Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, and rarely appears in public.

Master Xuandu is also hailed as one of the last people who may achieve the Great Luo Golden Immortal status at this stage.

"It was our fault for disturbing you, Senior Brother." Daoist Duobao, Zhao Gongming, Yunxiao, and others appeared here to sincerely apologize.

"It is Uncle Shangqing who has found the master. He wants to put Junior Brother Wukong in the Eight Trigrams Furnace to refine him. That should solve Junior Brother Wukong's fundamental problem."

"It's just... Lao Jun didn't want to move, so he sent me instead." Grand Master Xuandu waved his hand and explained with a smile.

So that's how it is... Daoist Duobao and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

As for Sun Wukong, they no longer cared about him.

The Crimson Ape has now transformed into a meteorite burning with crimson flames, hurtling towards the Heavenly Court.

Grand Master Xuandu frowned slightly as he looked at the meteorite. "The Chaos Demon Ape's origin is so powerful? Is it because of the Goddess Nuwa?"

After all, the other three portions of the Chaos Demon Ape's origin did not exhibit this state.

"Alright, let Laozi decide." Grand Master Xuandu stretched out his hand, and for a moment, in the eyes of Duobao Jinling and the others, the starry sky before them seemed to become blurred, unreal, and faded in color.

The hand that Grand Master Xuandu stretched out had transformed into an unknowable and imperceptible state!
"The Primordial Beginning!" Daoist Duobao and the others were all knowledgeable and recognized this aura.

The Grand Master Xuandu has now reached the Primordial Beginning Realm, and is only one step away from the Primordial Ease Realm. The rumors are not false!

Under Tai Chu's methods, the blood and fire were rendered illusory, and the enormous meteorite transformed into a fist-sized sphere that landed in the hands of Grand Master Xuan Du.

The blood-red ape roared in anger, trying to resist, but was held firmly by five fingers and could not move.

"Don't worry, fellow disciples. Junior Brother Wukong will be fine. Please don't worry, Uncle-Master."

Xuandu bowed in a certain direction, then stepped back to the Tushita Palace and threw the monkey in his hand into the Bagua Furnace.

"Little Gold and Little Silver, start the fire!" Xuan Du clapped his hands and shouted.

The two children immediately brought out banana leaf fans and started to set the monkey on fire.

Laozi had appeared on the futon beside him at some unknown time, gently waving the Taiyi whisk in his hand, and rays of immortal light entered the Bagua Furnace.

"Indeed, monkeys and the Eight Trigrams Furnace are a perfect match!" Grand Master Xuandu remarked.

Contrary to popular belief, he wasn't in seclusion; instead, he was traveling through the myriad realms using his relationship with Fang Xun…

Ahem, wrong, it's study tour, it's spiritual practice!
