Chapter 1542: Sun Wukong's First Ascension to Heaven

Monkeys and humans have many similarities. For example, they both like to play and don't like to work. They both like to gesture with long, straight sticks. They also like to be officials.

When Sun Wukong heard Taibai Jinxing say that he wanted to invite him to be an official in heaven, he was quite happy. He felt that his reputation as the Monkey King had spread to Heaven. He had never been to Heaven yet, so he followed Taibai Jinxing to Heaven without much hesitation.

Along the way, he kept asking what official position he would be given and how high the rank would be. Taibai Jinxing rambled on and on without getting to the point, only hinting that the position was not small.

Sun Wukong scratched his ears and cheeks, laughing so hard.

He was stopped by Xin Huan, the gatekeeper at the South Gate of Heaven, but with the help of Taibai Jinxing, he managed to pass the test smoothly.

The two of them soon arrived at the Lingxiao Palace.

Taibai Jinxing delivered his orders in a serious manner, then returned to his own team as if nothing had happened, without saying a word.

The monkey had no concept of hierarchy in his mind. Many civil and military officials were standing, and now only Haotian was sitting in the Lingxiao Palace. The monkey also wanted to find a chair for himself. He looked around and saw an empty chair next to Haotian, so he swaggered over to move the chair.

Nezha couldn't bear to see such a monkey sitting on the throne of the Jade Emperor. With his eyes wide open, he shouted, "Back off!"

Numerous civil and military officials, regardless of what they thought or which camp they belonged to, were shouting and rebuking loudly.

The Jade Emperor is indeed not in court now, but you can't let such a monkey sit in her position. This is not only a humiliation to the Jade Emperor, but also to the entire heavenly system.

"Retreat quickly!"

"A maniac who doesn't know etiquette!"

Old Zhu spoke the loudest: "Where did this monkey come from? If you don't retreat, your grandfather Zhu will break your monkey legs!"

Sun Wukong turned around suddenly and looked at Lao Zhu. At first sight, he felt that this heavenly general with golden helmet and golden armor was hideous. His fists were itching and he wanted to punch him a few times.

Lao Zhu felt that he was provoked. He also felt that this monkey was incompatible with him. He had a stern face, as if he was going to fight if the monkey said another word.

Taibai Jinxing quickly stepped forward to smooth things over.

By his smoothing over, he finally made the monkey understand that you can't sit on the chair next to Haotian. Why can't you sit on it? Taibai Jinxing didn't say anything.

Normally, if there's no chair, you should just stand. How could you possibly get tired just by talking for a few words? No, the monkey must sit.

He looked around and saw the old man holding a birthday peach in his hand. This peach was bigger than ordinary peaches, but not much bigger. Normal peaches were as big as a fist, but this peach was the size of a basketball.

The old man of longevity just stays out of things that don't concern him. It doesn't matter to me who among you becomes the supreme ruler of the three realms, just don't let the Immortal of the South Pole go up.

He stood in the queue just to make up the numbers. No one asked for his opinion, and he didn't have any opinions. He just did his job.

The monkey tiptoed over, stood behind the old man who was daydreaming, and patted his right shoulder.

The old man subconsciously looked to the right and saw Old Zhu glaring at him.

He was stunned. How had he offended Marshal Tianpeng?
Before he could think about it, he felt his hands were empty and the longevity peach in his hand was snatched away by the monkey.

"You!" he roared. The monkey pointed at Haotian in front of him, imitating the words that many gods had scolded him before: "Don't be disrespectful in front of the palace, hehe."

The old man was stunned on the spot. He didn’t know whether to grab it or not, but it would be embarrassing if he didn’t grab it.

The monkey ignored him. On his left were civil officials, and on his right were military generals. He placed the longevity peach in the middle, then pretended to be very comfortable and sat on the peach, looking at the generals of heaven headed by Nezha and Lao Zhu with an arrogant look.

His eyes were full of provocation, come on, come and hit me!
Nezha wanted to speak, but Li Jing pulled him back. Li Jing shook his head at him. "You want Haotian to punish this monkey?" He ordered the punishment. The monkey's grudge is on you. Haotian refused, and you are the one who lost face.

There is no point in saying anything at this time. The more we say, the more guilty we appear. It is unnecessary.

Haotian glanced at Li Jing, but Li Jing avoided his gaze.

Phoenix left the court, and the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King was almost the leader of the opposition.

Although his title is not as long as Haotian's, Li Jing is not an unknown person now. His full name is Gaoshang Shenxiao Tota Heavenly King.

If Fenghuang is given some more time and Li Jing makes more contributions, he will have a long list of titles.

Haotian's gaze returned to the hall.

The Li family father and son stopped their activities, and the hall became quiet.

The monkey was completely unaware of the turmoil he had been embroiled in. He sat on the longevity peach, legs crossed awkwardly, and said, "Are you the Jade Emperor? I don't think you have much dignity. Where did you hear my name?"

Several gods laughed out loud. You are bringing up something irrelevant. How can a monkey like you know the title of the Jade Emperor? What would Haotian think?
This was the first conversation between Sun Wukong and Haotian, and the atmosphere between the two sides was not very friendly.

The monkey had some doubts in his mind. He had heard that the Jade Emperor was a female emperor before, so the person in front of him was a man, right?
Several gods who wanted to stand on Haotian's side again stood up and scolded him for being rude and inappropriate in front of the palace.

Haotian acted very approachable, with a rather gentle smile, and said, "Sun Wukong is a demon immortal from the lower world, newly born as a human, and does not know the etiquette of the court. Please forgive me for the time being."

On the one hand, we're buying horse bones for a fortune, and on the other hand, we're doing this for all the civil and military officials to see. Look at how rude this monkey is, and I'm not surprised. What's your past? Let's put this behind us, our emperor and his subjects.

I don't know if it worked, but Sun Wukong still had a good impression of Haotian. It's just that most of the civil and military officials in Heaven didn't look too happy, especially Nezha, who looked at Sun Wukong as if he were a class enemy. It was probably because the occasion was not right, otherwise they would have had to fight no matter what.

Sun Wukong also felt Nezha's hostility. He tilted his head and showed a disdainful smile.

Haotian was very satisfied. Now he needed subordinates who were good at fighting and making trouble. If Sun Wukong could defeat Nezha, his efforts to show respect to the wise would not be in vain.

But he also knew that it would be embarrassing if a fight broke out in this situation, so he said a few polite words, encouraging Sun Wukong to do a good job and telling him that if he had any problems, he could come to Lingxiao Palace to find him, and then he withdrew from the court.

There was no mention of the Dragon Palace's robbery of weapons and the underworld's tampering with the Book of Life and Death.

Sun Wukong took a stroll around the Imperial Stables. There were only about a thousand celestial horses in the entire Heavenly Palace. His subordinates each had their own duties, so it didn't matter whether he was there or not. He didn't need to worry about daily work at all.

He was quite happy and felt that the job of Bi Ma Wen was very suitable for him. He drank and had fun every day, and from time to time he rode on Pegasus and strolled around the Tianhe River. He lived a carefree and happy life.
