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

Chapter 99: Tianzun takes office (Subscribe)

Miluo Palace and Tongming Hall.

The Jade Emperor, dressed in a moon-white robe, was half-lying leisurely on the soft couch, admiring the graceful dance of the fairies.

Suddenly, Taibai Jinxing came in to report: "Your Majesty, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, Beiji Lingming Zun, has gone to take up his post."

"Oh?" Without even raising his eyelids, the Jade Emperor pinched another grape and quietly watched the fairies dancing.

Seeing this, Taibai Jinxing continued, "The Great Sage caused quite a stir on the road."

The Jade Emperor said casually, "Tell me about it."

Taibai Jinxing hesitated for a moment before saying, “When the Great Sage meets various immortal officials and generals along the way, regardless of whether they have good or bad relationships with him, he asks them to treat him as brothers or friends.

Even some Xianjiao immortal officials who had become enemies with him were forced by him to call him "Brother Sun."

The Jade Emperor finally showed interest. He waved his hand and told the fairies to withdraw. Then he sat up and asked seriously, "Which of them were forced to shout?"

Taibai Jinxing hurriedly said: "Xiao Zhen, the Star Lord of the Gold Palace; Tu Xingsun, the Star Lord of the Earth Palace; Xu Gai, the Star Lord of the Sun..."

After the old star god said a string of names, he hesitated again.

The Jade Emperor glanced at him and said, "Speak, why don't you speak?"

Taibai Jinxing hesitated and said, "And I, Taibai Jinxing Li Changgeng..."

The Jade Emperor was puzzled: "Those are the ones who have grudges against that monkey. How come you have offended him too?"

Taibai Jinxing smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, you misunderstood. I was afraid of losing the dignity of the Northern Spiritual Sky Lord, so I insisted on calling him Heavenly Lord. That's why the Great Sage forced me to call him Brother Sun."

The Jade Emperor finally smiled: "Li Changgeng, Li Changgeng, you have come to this day."

Taibai Jinxing continued, "Your Majesty, I don't mind, but I feel that the Great Sage seems to be trying hard to repair relations with all parties.

After all, he is no longer a Buddha and no longer has the support of Buddhism.

Facing the already hostile Chan Sect and Yaochi Sect, they were ultimately somewhat weaker."

Upon hearing this, the Jade Emperor's expression turned cold: "If you have something to say, just say it directly and clearly. Don't beat around the bush!"

Taibai Jinxing said anxiously, "Your Majesty, please calm down. I just feel that the Great Sage has conferred the title of North Pole Spiritual Heavenly Venerable upon him, but no one has been sent to take up the position. This is somewhat against the old rules and I'm afraid it will make people look down on him."

The Jade Emperor sneered, "You're usually like a quail, but now you're so active. If you didn't know, you'd think you were really that monkey's good brother!"

Taibai Jinxing was so frightened that he immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed, saying, "Your Majesty, please understand. I absolutely do not have such intentions, absolutely not!"

The Jade Emperor snorted coldly, "That naughty monkey has the Purple Star Emperor to escort him, why should I worry about him?

Moreover, based on his experience over the years, even if no one is there to escort him, he should be able to easily defeat those arrogant and powerful generals.

Otherwise, he would have lived in vain all these years.”

Taibai Jinxing looked as if he had suddenly realized something, and bowed again, saying, "Your Majesty is wise!"

The Jade Emperor waved his hand impatiently: "Go, go, go, you've been doing nothing all day. If anything goes wrong during this western tour, I will not forgive you easily!"

Taibai Jinxing seemed to have been pardoned and immediately backed away.

Only after he left the Miro Palace and walked a long way away did he feel a little relieved.

Of course he knew that the Emperor of Heaven had other intentions behind not arranging anyone to see him off.

But he needed to know what the Emperor of Heaven's attitude was.

Guessing won't work; His Majesty has to say it himself.

In this way, no matter what the Great Sage does next, he can have a targeted approach to avoid embarrassing His Majesty, and he can also know what helpful words to say to the Great Sage.

Only in this way can he be a qualified minister to the Emperor of Heaven, rather than a good brother of the Great Sage.

As for what he reported at the beginning, that the Great Sage and the various immortal officials and gods treated each other as brothers, there were also subsequent speculations.

The purpose was to remind the Emperor of Heaven that various parties might view the Great Sage's strange behavior in this way, thinking that the new Northern Spiritual Heavenly Venerable, without the support of Buddhism, was trying to repair relations with various parties.

Thinking of this, Taibai Jinxing sighed in his heart: "Great Sage, oh Great Sage, this is all I can do to help you." The position of the North Pole Heavenly Venerable was won by the Great Emperor Zhenwu who fought his way through mountains of corpses and seas of blood. The people he left behind are not so easy to subdue.

Moreover, the relationships among all parties in Beiji Tianzun Palace are complicated, and it would be difficult to handle things if one is not well versed in the ways of officialdom.

There is a big difference between the ability to be an official and the ability to subdue demons and monsters.

After all, people in officialdom have evil hearts.

So now, I'm afraid that all parties are waiting to see the joke of Sun Wukong.

……

Before Sun Wukong arrived at the Beiji Tianzun Palace, he saw from afar the Emperor of Ziwei, the God of Wenqu and the God of Wuqu waiting in front.

Seeing this scene, he was a little dazed.

Before, he was still wondering who had sent Wenquxingjun to hint to him last time that he should start the investigation from Zhang Qian, Marquis of Bowang.

Now I understand that it was the Emperor Ziwei who was behind this.

Of course, he didn't intend to point it out, everyone just knew it tacitly.

However, there are still some doubts.

The Emperor of Ziwei was the eldest prince of the Zhou Dynasty during the Conferred Gods period, and the Lord of Wenqu was the uncle of King Zhou of the Shang Dynasty and was loyal to the Shang Dynasty.

Although these two people are among the Big Dipper stars in the Heavenly Palace, they shouldn't have such a close relationship, right?
Sun Wukong approached with doubts.

Ziwei Emperor smiled and jokingly said, "Great Sage, should I call you Brother Sun?"

The Great Sage was serious: "Of course, I'll call you first and let you listen. I can't just do it half-heartedly."

Emperor Ziwei was at a loss whether to laugh or cry: "Okay, okay, Brother Sun, Brother Sun, let's go, I'll take you to the Beiji Tianzun Palace."

Sun Wukong smiled and bowed, "Thank you, Brother Ziwei. Thank you very much."

He noticed that the Four Great Emperors were not wearing the red imperial crown, but only a white robe, like a nobleman.

Obviously, he didn't want to steal his limelight today.

When the Gods of Wenqu and Wuqu saw them talking like this, they were both surprised.

It seems that from now on, the new Beiji Lingming Tianzun will be uncontrollable in the North Pole of Heaven!

But when they arrived at the Beiji Tianzun Palace, they found the scene very deserted.

Sun Wukong sneered.

It's not that he really wants a grand welcome, but the noise he made along the way was quite a big one.

Logically speaking, the immortal officials and gods under his command should have been prepared.

But outside this huge palace, apart from some immortal officials working, there was only Yisheng Zhenjun, one of the Four Saints of the North Pole, welcoming them outside.

Obviously, there is a big problem here.

The Four Saints of the North Pole originally included Marshal Tianpeng, Marshal Tianyou, True Lord Yisheng, and True Lord Yousheng.

Since the True Lord Yousheng was named the Great Emperor Zhenwu and was promoted to the Heavenly Venerable, he has become the most respected god under the command of the Great Emperor Ziwei, and can directly command all the heavenly soldiers under the command of the Four Saints of the North Pole.

It includes the Tianhe Tribe, Tiangang Tribe, Disha Tribe, and the Xuantian Tribe when Zhenwu was the True Lord of Protection.

Among them, the Tianhe tribe has 80,000 Tianhe navy. It is conceivable how many heavenly soldiers and generals there are in these four tribes combined.

Although Tianpeng had long been sent down to the mortal world and became his junior brother Zhu Bajie, the Great Emperor Zhenwu also stayed in Wudang forever.

But this does not mean that these four heavenly soldiers have disbanded. There have always been people in charge.

Now, he still belongs to the North Pole Lingming Lord!
　The plot transition between these two chapters is a bit flat, so don’t worry, the climax is coming soon!
