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

Chapter 28 The right candidate

Eight hundred quicksand realms, three thousand weak water depths.

Goose feathers cannot float, and reed flowers sink to the bottom.

Nine generations of Zen practice serve as a ferryman, and the golden body of eight treasures is called Arhat.

The Flowing Sand River? The Jade Emperor thought about it, and the geographical location of the Flowing Sand River and its surroundings appeared in his mind.

"This is truly a wonderful place. If we set up an ambush here, even if that Buddhist disciple has some tricks up his sleeve, as long as we assign the right people, he will definitely be defeated."

The Queen Mother also nodded: "That's right, but the selection of this person needs to be careful. After all, it involves the merits of the calamity, so we need someone we can trust!"

Jade Emperor: "Does the Queen Mother have any recommendations?"

The Queen Mother shook her head. "I have lived in Kunlun for a long time. I am familiar with the many female immortals, but there are very few who can reach the level of Taiyi Golden Immortal or above. Your Majesty will make the decision on this matter."

The Jade Emperor smiled even more when he heard this. If the Queen Mother really had a candidate, then he would start to doubt the purpose of the Queen Mother's visit today.

"I do have someone who has followed me for many years. A hundred years ago, he barely broke through to the Daluo Jinxian realm. If he were demoted to a lower realm, he would be at the peak of the Taiyi Jinxian realm. This person is..."

"Your Majesty does not need to inform me of your actions! The fewer people who know about this before he descends to the mortal realm, the better, including me."

The Jade Emperor didn't feel conflicted and really didn't say anything.

"These are the strange things I have seen in the lower world this time. Now that I see that Your Majesty has already prepared a plan, I feel more at peace." The Queen Mother said with a smile.

"The Peach Banquet will be held in a few days, and I have many things to attend to, so I will not bother Your Majesty here any more."

The Jade Emperor stood up and bowed. "The Queen Mother controls the laws of heaven and earth. For the Three Realms, she is another means of supervision besides the laws of heaven. Thank you very much today, Queen Mother."

"Maintaining peace in the Three Realms is one of my responsibilities. Your Majesty is too polite. The battle with the Buddha is no small matter. Your Majesty does not need to send me off."

After the Queen Mother finished speaking, she slowly took three steps back and her figure gradually disappeared until the last trace of her breath dissipated.

The Jade Emperor sat on the bed and pondered for a long time.

"It seems that the West is trying to seize the genius of the human race in the Dharma Ending Age, and has already set its sights on the path to immortality below the Quasi-Saint level."

"Since the Queen Mother has spoken today, she must have received guidance from the Dao Order."

"It seems that the selection of Liusha River's candidates needs to be made as soon as possible."

……

Inside the mansion, he was really panicking at this moment.

The task Ye Xuantian gave him was too difficult. Today, in front of the Jade Emperor, he couldn't think of anything else.

He could only brag about throwing a glass cup at the Jade Emperor's face when no one was around.

The Jade Emperor went through so many hardships to sit on that position, and he was also blessed by the power of Heaven. It was really difficult for him to feel disrespectful when facing him face to face.

"What is Juanlian doing? He's so lost in thought!"

The sudden sound in his ears scared Juanlian so much that his three souls almost scattered, but his body's instinct was not weak, and he punched out directly.

Driven by instinct, Juanlian used all his strength in this attack, and the space was distorted along the path of his fist.

The Jade Emperor casually stretched out his hand and grabbed Juanlian's wrist.

Juanlian also came to his senses at this time and knelt down immediately: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I was distracted for a moment and offended Your Majesty."

The Jade Emperor waved his hand casually, sat on the chair, looked at the rolling curtain that was almost prostrating itself on the ground, and couldn't help shaking his head.

How could I doubt such a loyal person?
"Get up, it's not your fault, it's my sudden appearance."

"I am guilty of this and deserve death. Please punish me, Your Majesty!" Juanlian had been with the Jade Emperor for many years and knew too well that the punishment that could be handed down on the spot was the lightest.

"I came here this time because I want your help. As long as you do a good job, it will be considered as atonement."

Juanlian then slowly raised his head and said, "Your Majesty has commanded me to do this, even if it means death." "The Queen Mother will hold a Peach Banquet soon. Throw a glass cup at me at the banquet!"

what?
Juanlian was so shocked that he suddenly raised his head and even forgot the rules.

His big eyes stared blankly at the Jade Emperor, as if he were looking at a fool.

[Your Majesty, are you out of your mind?]

Offending the emperor's majesty at the Peach Banquet? Or was it the emperor who initiated the request? I've never seen such a request before.

"The West doesn't value merit and virtue, and they want to steal the fruits of merit. I control the Three Realms, and I cannot help but consider the interests of Heaven. You made a mistake at the Peach Banquet, and I have the opportunity to demote you to the lower realms."

There really were a thousand horses galloping in Juanlian's heart.

"I wonder what kind of punishment I will receive in the end?"

Being demoted to the lower world was too vague. Juanlian wanted to prove that Ye Xuantian really had the means to plot against Emperor Haotian.

"After all, you have lost my face in front of the immortals and gods. I will banish you to the Flowing Sand River, where you will suffer the pain of flying swords piercing your bones day and night. You will meditate in the Flowing Sand River for nine lifetimes, and I can guarantee that you will gain a trace of merit."

Juanlian kowtowed heavily.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will serve you till my death!"

What the Jade Emperor couldn't see was that Juanlian's eyes were bloodshot and his teeth were clenched.

What the Jade Emperor said just now was exactly the same as what Ye Xuantian said.

In other words, Ye Xuantian could really calculate the Jade Emperor's moves.

"Well, you should prepare well. Don't worry, as long as you complete the task well, I will definitely not treat you unfairly!"

The Jade Emperor stood up and walked to Juanlian's side and put down his hand. Juanlian raised his body at the right time so that the Jade Emperor could press on his shoulder without having to bend down.

Seeing that Juanlian was still considerate, the Jade Emperor smiled even more. He patted Juanlian gently on the shoulder and disappeared.

boom!
Juanlian collapsed to the ground, his forehead covered in cold sweat.

So exciting!
what!
Haha!

Hahahahaha!
Juanlian sneered, then burst into laughter, tears welling up in the corners of his eyes, and he just smiled like that.

The man who planned to be the supreme being of the three realms made his move, and did it almost in a prophetic way.

The current Jade Emperor is a true quasi-saint, but he still cannot escape Ye Xuantian's plan.

In Juanlian's eyes, Ye Xuantian is now a saint for sure, otherwise how could he dare to do that? How could he dare to do that!
He laughed until he almost lost his voice, and then he calmed down.

The difference between being a personal bodyguard who lifted the curtain and becoming a pawn of the saint is definitely not something that can be easily digested.

But Juanlian did it. Serving the emperor is like serving a tiger. He has been walking on a tightrope all these years, fearing that he would make a mistake and displease the current emperor.

Now that he was going to be the hunter who hunted the tiger, he had to think carefully about what to do during the Peach Banquet.

"Glass cups, why did the saints make this rule? The Peach Banquet is full of glass cups, which one should I throw?"

Juanlian thought about it for a long time but still had no clue, so he finally gave up.

The sage even took into account the Jade Emperor's moves, so he must have given a hint that day.

Now I just need to rest up and wait for the day of the Peach Banquet.

I can finally fulfill my wish of throwing a glass cup at the Jade Emperor's face.

Saint Xuantian is mighty!
