I start by accepting Sun Wukong as my disciple and reshape the Journey to the West

Chapter 113 Wu Gang Felling Trees (Update)
"All seven emotions and six desires fall into the word 'desire'. Look at the sages, they remain calm even when a woman sits on their lap, but when you see people with a bad reputation, they are full of obscenity! I dare to ask why the saints have desires!" Ye Xuantian looked at the Zen Master Wuchao.

"I dare to ask the saint who has made great vows and achieved enlightenment until now, and who speaks of a bottomless boat that carries all living beings, whether it is because desire is insatiable, or because the four elements are empty!"

Ye Xuantian's voice was like the sound of a huge bell, shocking the mind.

The Zen Master Wuchao took several steps back before he stopped, and the desire in his eyes gradually faded away.

"I have heard that fellow Daoist has profound attainments in Buddhism!" Zen Master Wuchao chanted, and suddenly a Buddha's light emanated from his body, adding to his righteousness. "Daoist friend, your self-examination today has made me realize that my practice is not enough. I should also observe the precepts. I will definitely continue to practice the wonderful Dharma. Thank you very much!"

"Bajie, come with me to practice!" Zen Master Wuchao walked towards the bird's nest.

"Saint, I'm leaving now!" Zhu Bajie scratched his head and took a look at the source of desire. There was not a trace of greed in his eyes. After he finished speaking, he was about to turn around and leave, but was stopped by Ye Xuantian.

"Wuneng!"

"Hey!" Zhu Bajie responded straightforwardly.

"Don't you want this strand of origin?"

"It's not that I, a humble monk, have attained enlightenment. The saint bestowed it upon me out of thin air. I can't grasp it, and if I still want it even though I can't grasp it, I'll be dishonoring the Dharma name bestowed by the saint. Since the saint has promised me the great path in the future, why should I rush into it now?"

"Very good. Since you have realized your true nature, you should practice diligently with Master Wuchao. If you hear that Guanyin invites you to join the pilgrimage team, you should not refuse."

"Thank you very much for the gift, Saint!" Zhu Bajie bowed to Ye Xuantian and finally caught up with the footsteps of Zen Master Wuchao. He could faintly hear the laughter of the master and disciple.

"You helped him seal me back then, and now you're my disciple. Do you regret being so decisive that day?"

"Master, please don't wrongly accuse me. This spiked rake was given to me by Laojun, the Heavenly Net was laid by the Queen Mother, and the sealing technique was performed by the Xuantian Sage. Master, you have such great means that it took the intervention of three great masters to seal the master. How could I possibly have that ability?"

Zhu Bajie's exaggerated tone could be faintly heard, which made Zen Master Wuchao burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, what my good disciple said is very reasonable. The three of them couldn't snatch you away. This shows how deep the bond between you and me as master and disciple is!"

"Yes, yes, this is the name Master gave me. I like it very much. I feel that I am on par with the disciple of Xuantian Saint. I heard that his name is Wukong."

"Yeah, that makes sense! This way, at least you're of the same generation, and you won't be outshined by that so-called son of destiny. It's not a loss at all!"

"But Master, I heard that Saint Xuantian once said that anyone who enters this journey to the west is a child of destiny, without distinction of high or low."

(…) After a long while, Zen Master Wu Chao slowly uttered, “I am not as good as him!”

The two's voices gradually faded into the golden light of the bird's nest. Seeing Ye Xuantian storing the source of desire into the jade disc, Taiyin Xingjun stepped forward and said, "Congratulations, Saint, for obtaining the power of the source!"

Ye Xuantian then withdrew his gaze and looked at Taiyin Xingjun: "Hongmeng was just beginning to set the sun, moon and stars. I have offended you today. I hope Xingjun will forgive me."

Taiyin Xingjun apologized repeatedly: "I dare not! I did not understand the Holy Spirit's intention and almost ruined the Holy Spirit's great cause. Now that the matter has been resolved, I will take my leave."

"Wait a minute, Star Lord!"

"What are your instructions, Saint?"

"What do you think of Zhu Bajie now, Xingjun?"

"He has entered the master's sect, received a Dharma name, and his eyes are extremely clear. He already has the appearance of becoming a Buddha. Didn't the saint just praise him?"

As a bystander, Taiyin Xingjun saw it clearly just now. Even the Zen Master Wuchao felt a little greedy, but Zhu Bajie seemed unaware of it. He was truly a promising talent.

"If that's really the case, I can't condense the source of desire."

"What the saints mean is that it is difficult to get rid of one's nature?" "That's right!"

"What does the Saint need from me?"

"Marshal Tianpeng was banished to the mortal realm because he attempted to forcibly possess the Fairy Chang'e at the Peach Banquet. This is why the Moon Lord acted in anger. This is the logical execution of the Divine Will."

hum!
As soon as these words were spoken, Taiyin Star Lord felt her heart and soul shaken. She had actually accepted the definition that Ye Xuantian had given her before, that it was the Heavenly Dao True Spirit who wanted to use her Taiyin Qi to nourish the original true spirit that had escaped.

But now that Ye Xuantian had pointed it out to her, she suddenly realized that if all causes and effects were to be explained apart from the divine will, they also needed a self-consistent logic.

"Is this the divine will?" murmured the Moon Lord.

“This is the Holy Will!”

After receiving such a precise reply, Taiyin Xingjun felt a chill on his back. When he looked at Ye Xuantian again, his eyes were filled with even more solemnity: "Heaven's way is unfair. I am willing to serve the saint!"

The Moon Goddess had been nurtured on the Moon Star since the beginning of the universe. She knew very well what Ye Xuantian's current computing power meant, so she handed over the step without hesitation.

"Since Tianpeng was banished to the mortal world because he forcibly took Chang'e, then Taiyin Xingjun, please use Chang'e to test him again in the future to prove that the clarity and brightness he displayed today is genuine."

"But Tianpeng was banished to the lower world, not because..."

Taiyin Xingjun didn't finish the second half of his sentence, but his meaning was already very clear. Ye Xuantian was able to appear in time when he was about to kill him, which showed that Ye Xuantian had made a great plan for this person.

In that case, then teasing Chang'e...

"The layout and moves cannot escape the established logic, this is to act according to the situation."

It was another ordinary sentence, but Taiyin Xingjun understood it. Just like when she attacked Chang'e in anger before, it was in accordance with the established logic that allowed Luozi to reveal his true self.

The Moon God tapped his temple lightly: It’s too dirty!

She was about to suffer from claustrophobia. How smart did Ye Xuantian have to be to be able to compete with Sheng Yi?
"Although it's offensive, now that I'm in, I wonder what I can expect from the Saint?"

"Allow Guanghan to show his merits so that the bright moon will not be empty! Will this satisfy Taiyin Xingjun?"

boom!
The magic power around Taiyin Star Lord bloomed uncontrollably, and then was all retracted in an instant. She really didn't expect that Ye Xuantian could see through even this.

"Back then, the Jade Emperor punished a minor immortal by forcing him to chop down a tree in the Moon Palace. The other immortals thought it was a joke, but over the years, I've discovered that Wu Gang's axe has the power to sever the connection between heaven and earth. Although the laurel tree he chopped down can recover immediately, the axe's corrosive force is constantly infused into the tree."

"It was only when the Great Sage was wreaking havoc in the Heavenly Palace that I realized it wasn't Your Majesty who issued the order, but rather the Holy Will. I just don't understand why. I beg the Saint to explain."

"Everyone has noticed that the moon is getting farther and farther away from the human world. In fact, it is because Wu Gang's axe is constantly infusing the laws of the Heavenly Dao. The moment the laurel tree is cut down, the Moon will lose its spirituality and distance itself from the mundane world, thus completely destroying the Dao of this world. Then, the Earthly Dao and the Human Dao will be unable to awaken due to the lack of the Moon's Qi. This is His greatest plan. When the Moon is far away from the Three Realms, the Heavenly Dao will be able to completely devour the power of the Earthly Dao and the Human Dao."

Ye Xuantian looked into the void: "To be precise, He will devour all the living beings in the three realms here, and become His nourishment! To become His body of the Great Dao!"

"But without my Taiyin power, the way of heaven is incomplete!"

"If the Styx Patriarch swallows the merit, the Asura lineage's solitary Yin power will make up for the Tai Yin power, so I will stop the Styx from swallowing the merit of this catastrophe at all costs."

I still have 12.7 words to go! I'll have more to do tonight.
