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

Chapter 57: Surrender at Taibai Jinxing
Inside the Qiming Hall, Taibai Jinxing sorted out the recent official documents. The Weaver Girl beside him came forward and asked, "Why do you have so many things to do lately, Star Lord?"

Taibai Jinxing rubbed his temples. "The Great Tribulation is about to begin, so it's only natural that I should be busy. It's just that the recent pile of useless greeting posts is really annoying."

"Can't you usually deal with these posts directly?" Zhinu was quite puzzled.

"In the past, posts from various immortals trying to establish connections were naturally insignificant. However, the people behind these posts are different now, and they are all greeting Emperor Haotian. Who can tell if there is some secret I don't know? I dare not block them carelessly!"

"So that's how it is. I was wondering why Tianji Shushu hadn't checked down recently. It turns out that Wuzhuang Temple and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva have been constantly posting to help me distract my attention."

The sudden sound made Taibai Jinxing stunned for a moment, and then he swung the whisk in his hand towards the void where the memorial was.

Ye Xuantian waved his hand casually, and Taibai Jinxing staggered backward, looking at the person who came in disbelief.

The aura of this person was very weak, with faint and undetectable signs.

Taibai Jinxing put his finger under the nose of the unconscious Zhinu, and made sure that she was not dead, then he bowed slightly to Ye Xuantian.

"Where do you come from, Immortal? What do you want to do? Is there anything I can help you with?" Taibai Jinxing, as the information hub of the three realms, has a lot of experience in welcoming and seeing off people, and has naturally developed the ability to speak differently to different people.

He could clearly sense that Ye Xuantian's aura was unusual, and the fight just now was enough to prove that Ye Xuantian had no ill intentions, so surrendering at this time was definitely the right choice. After all, he did not have Yuanshi Tianzun as his master.

"I have an incompetent disciple who has fallen into Huaguo Mountain. I may need to ask the Star Lord to help take care of him in the future."

Ye Xuantian casually picked up a letter, opened it, and saw the greeting from Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva:
Haotian above, the Netherworld Ksitigarbha has recently had some thoughts about the Way of Heaven. It has been observed that the numbers of the Way of Heaven have been changing over time. I would like to ask Your Majesty whether the so-called variables are also within the Way of Heaven.

It's a very simple post, but any post discussing the Dao cannot be judged by common sense. Although this issue is not a big deal, if Emperor Haotian wants to reply, he probably won't be able to write for three to five days.

Taibai Jinxing looked at this scene and wanted to stop it, but in the end he closed his mouth. Not only did he not stop it, he didn't even respond to Ye Xuantian's words.

"He's always been naughty, but he also listens to me. So, not long ago, he caused a big disturbance in the East China Sea and took the Dinghai Shenzhen, which was dropped by the ancient Yu the Great when he was controlling the flood. Later, he was accidentally summoned by the underworld in a dream, which displeased him, and he accidentally destroyed a lot of the life and death books."

Taibai Jinxing still did not respond, but just knelt down quietly.

"Because he learned my skills and unified the demon tribes in the Flower-Fruit Mountain, I think he has now declared himself king according to my instructions and is called the Great Sage Equaling Heaven!"

Taibai Jinxing fell to the ground and his body began to tremble.

"But he is the son of destiny, an indispensable figure in this catastrophe, so he will not die. However, the emperor's majesty is above him. He may not care, but he needs someone to give him a chance. What does the Star Lord think? In this way, the Star Lord can also share a strand of the merits of the catastrophe."

Taibai Jinxing then slowly stopped trembling, raised his head and looked at Ye Xuantian, his eyes full of crystal.

"Sir, what do you need me to do?"

"Smoothing things out when the emperor is furious, conferring upon my disciple the title of Great Sage Equaling Heaven, and giving him a sinecure—this shouldn't be difficult for a Star Lord, right?"

Upon hearing this, Taibai Jinxing let out a deep breath.

"It's not a difficult matter. Once you enter the Heavenly Court, even if it's just a sinecure, you'll be included in the immortal family's roster. In the future, everyone in and outside the Three Realms will hear about you, and you'll be treated with more respect. I just don't know which sect the Immortal wants your disciple to be affiliated with?"

Taibai Jinxing was, after all, a favorite of the Jade Emperor, a loach among the civil servants. This seemingly meaningless statement was testing Ye Xuantian's heart. "I heard the Queen Mother has a Peach Garden, so let him guard it!"

"My Lord, you want a monkey to guard the Peach Garden? I can recommend him, but I'm afraid the Queen Mother won't agree!"

Ye Xuantian walked up to Taibai Jinxing and helped him up: "Xingjun, just do your job. I believe the Queen Mother will agree when the time comes!"

Taibai Jinxing looked at Ye Xuantian, who was smiling, and finally nodded and said, "I will definitely live up to the trust of the Immortal!"

"After being conferred the title of God, the Star Lord has been in charge of all paperwork, which has been quite tiring. I see that the Star Lord has a good ability to adapt. If he gains more merit, he may be able to make further progress in the future. I hope the Star Lord will not make mistakes!"

"The Immortal needs me to use my divine consciousness, so that it will be easier for the Immortal to control me!" Taibai Jinxing said hurriedly.

"Everyone in the world is busy pursuing profit! I believe the Star Lord will make a wise decision!" Ye Xuantian said and left.

Taibai Jinxing carefully sensed the atmosphere around him, and only when he was sure that Ye Xuantian had really left did he lose his temper and fall into the chair.

"The Great Perfection of Quasi-Saint! No, it is definitely not the Quasi-Saint Perfection in the conventional sense. It is much stronger than Emperor Haotian!" Taibai Jinxing murmured.

"Son of destiny, with great merits, I never thought that one day I would have such an opportunity!"

Taibai Jinxing gritted his teeth, glanced at the Weaver Girl, and without hesitation, he immediately flew out of the South Heaven Gate and headed towards Kunlun Mountain.

……

"Congratulations, fellow Daoist, for erasing the cause and effect in the Book of Life and Death. From now on, whatever happens to the three realms will be undetectable to you!" Queen Mother of the West poured Ye Xuantian a glass of nectar and said with a smile.

"Thank you, Queen Mother, for your kind words. Now that the great calamity has begun, all causes and consequences are obscure. I wonder if Queen Mother has considered how to distribute the peaches?"

Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother was stunned for a moment before she spoke: "Although I am the head of the female immortals, I am also subordinate to Emperor Haotian. These peaches are also a valuable treasure for prolonging life. As the methods of longevity become rarer, these peaches have become a quota for immortals to avoid reincarnation and tribulations. They can only be distributed according to need and work, and it is not my place to interfere."

"What if I can give Queen Mother the opportunity to win hundreds of places?" Ye Xuantian drank the nectar in one gulp and looked at Queen Mother with a smile.

The Queen Mother was silent. She looked at the person in front of her with amusement in her eyes.

"Using ordinary means will only allow Emperor Haotian to notice my intentions, which is not good!"

"Everything in this world depends on human effort. It all depends on whether the Queen Mother has this intention. As long as the Queen Mother is willing, I can naturally help her achieve it."

"Oh? I'd like to hear the details!"

Before Ye Xuantian could speak, he only heard a shout.

"Taibai Jinxing requests an audience with the Queen Mother!"
