The Journey to the West is over, and the Perfect Life System is here

Chapter 59 Insight
Continue reading the task summary below.

Fortunately, after you rebelled against Heaven, Bajie followed your advice and publicly pleaded for justice for you. Although there was still no evidence for what he said, the Jade Emperor and the immortals all had their own opinions.

The Jade Emperor directly took out the position of the Lord of Wood, and first let the Chan Sect and the Jie Sect fight for it, and then asked the Emperor of Purple Star to nominate it himself, and finally chose Deng Hua to take charge of the position of the main god.

This selection also made Emperor Donghua feel extremely humiliated.

"Hehe, the old Jade Emperor is indeed cooperating this time." Sun Wukong smiled and scratched his hand. Then he became puzzled. "But the Jade Emperor is obviously unhappy with Emperor Donghua. Why did he agree to his plea and give the little thief from the East a lighter sentence?"

If you can’t figure it out, just keep it in your heart for now.

"That old fellow Deng Hua got the better of me this time. I'll definitely have to eat him more often in the future."

But as soon as this thought came to his mind, the smile on the Monkey King's face disappeared, and a solemn look appeared in his eyes.

Deng Hua was very grateful to you. At Bajie's request, he prepared a banquet to entertain Bajie and Ao Lie. However, after being summoned by the White Crane Child to the South Pole Palace and meeting the South Pole Immortal Emperor, he suddenly became cold and humiliating, and drove Bajie and Ao Lie away.

"White Crane Boy, the Eternal Emperor..." Divine light gathered in Sun Wukong's eyes.

He thought of the time when he went to the Six Departments of the Southern Dipper to check the Death Book of the Southern Dipper Star. The Star Lord of Life was so frightened by him that he immediately went to the South Pole Palace to see the White Crane Boy and mentioned the matter of changing the fate of the Jinghe Dragon Clan without authorization, but was scolded by the other party.

So he judged at that time that Baihe Tongzi was the mastermind behind Sima Ming Xingjun. As to whether Changsheng Emperor was involved, it was still unknown.

Now, from the change in Deng Hua’s attitude after meeting the Emperor of Longevity, we can see some clues.

Because everyone probably already knows that his relationship with the dragon clan has improved, and he is now investigating the case of the Jinghe Dragon King.

If the Great Emperor of Longevity in the South Pole was a participant in the plot against the Dragon King of Jinghe River, he would indeed have warned Deng Hua and asked him to draw a clear line between himself and his Sun Wukong.

In this way, it makes sense why Deng Hua's attitude towards Bajie and Ao Lie suddenly changed.

After careful consideration, read the summary below.

[Because of your sudden departure and Bajie's cry of injustice, Emperor Donghua became very passive and had no place to vent his anger.

The Queen Mother sent someone to call him to Yaochi and warned him to be more restrained in the Heavenly Palace. If he made any mistakes, she would personally send him to reincarnation.

Then let him go to the lower world to avoid the limelight for a while, and by the way, during the Longmen Conference, solve the trouble with Chi Ran to prevent the Yellow River waterway from being occupied again.

At the same time, take this opportunity to help the Water Virtue Star Lord subdue the Dragon Clan.]

"Hmm?" Sun Wukong's hand that was scratching his face stopped there.

When Tianhe released the horse before, he roughly guessed that Emperor Donghua might be a participant in the conspiracy against the Dragon King of Jinghe River, but he did not expect that Queen Mother Wang was the mastermind behind the scenes who was more deeply hidden.

After thinking about it again, he had a guess in his mind.

"Legend has it that the Heavenly River was carved in the sky by the Queen Mother of the West using a hairpin. Now it seems that this legend may not be false."

"But it turns out that the Tianhe River was controlled by Bajie's previous life, so Emperor Donghua's plot against Marshal Tianpeng wasn't just because of a Nishang Fairy!"

"After the Heavenly River was once again controlled by the Queen Mother, they sought greater power and schemed against the Dragon King of the Jing River, who had usurped the Yellow River's waterway. They planned to control the world's water systems through the Heavenly River's waters."

"Well, no, no..."

Sun Wukong suddenly shook his hand.

This speculation seems to be correct, but there are still many things that don't make sense.

Firstly, how could the Southern Pole Changsheng Emperor be involved in this? What was the purpose of this disciple of the Chan Sect?
You must know that the death of the Dragon King of Jinghe River marked the beginning of the journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures, and the spread of Buddhism to the East only brought harm but no benefit to the Chan Sect.

Secondly, there is obviously a rift between the Jade Emperor and the Donghua Emperor, so why would they issue an order to cooperate in plotting against the Jinghe Dragon King?
Also, during the trial of Dongfang Shuo, the Jade Emperor agreed to the request of Emperor Donghua. Is this also related to this?
Finally, how did Buddhism get involved?
Aside from the later Tang Emperor's visit to the underworld, there's no trace of Buddhist involvement in the scheme against the Dragon King of the Jing River. "It's not that I can't see it, it's that I haven't dug deep enough," Sun Wukong scratched his face again. "Hey, the Dragon Gate Conference is within the Tang territory, so it's a good time to go and visit!"

He soon came up with a new plan in his mind.

At this moment, the system's voice continues.

[On the other hand, the Jade Emperor doesn't care whether you are loyal or not, what matters is whether you can help him solve his problems.]

"This old man is using me as a sword? Humph, he's not afraid of hurting himself!" Sun Wukong snorted coldly.

He had long guessed that the Jade Emperor was suddenly so generous and asked him to supervise the Nine Stars Department. He must have his own purpose.

【Task Rating: Excellent】

[Quest Reward: Arrow Path Law Fragment*2, Extreme Yang Mysterious Art (Hunyuan Level)]

[Extreme Yang Mysterious Art: A method of fierce battle, just as the saying goes, one can control three thousand women and be ranked among the immortals. When fully mastered, supplemented by the law, one can achieve the Hunyuan Dao Fruit and reach the Hunyuan realm.]

Sun Wukong first carefully experienced the improvement in his realm of law, and then checked for another reward.

"Hey, this should be the technique practiced by Emperor Donghua, but what use does Old Sun have for it?"

"It would be appropriate to give it to Bajie, but it's too late. This fool has become a Bodhisattva now, so he can't break the vow of chastity."

……

There is a Hukou Waterfall on the Yellow River. Deep under the water, there is a water palace.

On this day, in the main hall of the Water Palace, the Yellow River Water Lord was drinking and having fun, surrounded by many beautiful girls wearing only gauze.

Suddenly, an old man in a long robe walked in from outside the hall, followed by two frightened water guards.

"You blind thing, can't you see that I'm doing something important? Get out of here!" Huang Heshuibo was drunk and was only concerned with playing with Meiji. He didn't even see who was who and just started scolding and cursing.

But after waiting for a while, no one left.

The Yellow River Water God was angry and was about to take action, but he looked up and saw who was coming.

He shuddered and instantly regained consciousness. He pushed away the many beauties around him, not caring even if some of them fell to their death.

Then he hurriedly crawled in front of the old man in the long gown and said in a panic: "My humble servant pays homage to the Lord of Water Virtue!"

The Water Virtue Star Lord snorted coldly: "Wine and beauties, the Lord River God is living a carefree life in the lower world."

The Yellow River Water God prostrated himself on the ground and kowtowed: "Damn it, little god!"

The Water Virtue Star Lord suddenly became furious: "You deserve to die! I trusted you so much, but look what you did!
Now I finally understand why, when I asked you to help Fighting Buddha to deal with the Green Ox on the journey to the West, you only let the water go and didn't stop. In the end, not only did you waste the opportunity to make a meritorious service, but you also caused the flood to flood everywhere, and devastated the lives of the people!
With your actions, how could you possibly seize control of the Yellow River?"

Huang Heshuibo was trembling all over, and could hardly speak: "Little God... Damn it..."

The Water Virtue Star Lord's face was indifferent: "Now, you still have a chance to atone for your sins. Go check the preparations for the Longmen Conference, immediately!"

The Yellow River Water God didn't dare to say anything else and crawled out of the Water Palace.

The Water Virtue Star Lord shook his head and sighed: "Alas, what a bunch of trash!"
