Chapter 58 The Emperor's Position: The Greatest Secret in the World! (Please Subscribe)

The world of Journey to the West is very complex!

Niu Jun knew this from the very beginning.

However, after he actually saw Venus.

He then discovered that the world of Journey to the West was far more complex than he had imagined.

Think about it, even Taibai Jinxing, who has always been overlooked in the Heavenly Court, is a great supernatural being at the Taiyi Realm. What about the other immortals and gods?

The Three Pure Ones, Four Emperors, and Five Elders need no further explanation.

Other examples include Zhenwu the Great, Fengdu the Great, the Five Directions Ghost Emperor, the Five Senses Emperor, the Three Officials Emperor, the Eastern Emperor, the Five Sacred Mountains Emperor, the Nine Heavens Thunder Ancestor Emperor, and the Six Heavens Cave Abyss Emperor.

Or perhaps it is the Queen Mother of the West, Doumu Yuanjun, Taiyin Yuanjun, Bixia Yuanjun, Jiutian Xuannü, or other celestial female immortals.

These immortals and gods seem to hold positions in the Heavenly Court no less than that of Venus.

Furthermore, this is only the Heavenly Court; it doesn't include the Buddhist sect, the demon race, the human race, or other independent cultivators.

If we include all these forces...

In the Journey to the West world, Venus's status and position probably wouldn't even rank in the top fifty.

Then I thought of how, when the Mysterious Dharma Body attained the Taiyi Dao, I used its perspective to see through the Three Realms and discover those forbidden areas that were difficult to fathom.

Niu Jun felt a chill run down his spine.

I just felt that the waters of this Journey to the West world were unusually deep.

Anyone who tries to conquer this universe as if it were just another ordinary mid-level universe will probably die without even knowing how.

It was precisely because we realized this.

That's why Niu Jun was so humble, respectfully addressing the Jade Emperor as "Great Heavenly Venerable," showing none of the arrogance and ignorance he displayed when he was a demon king in the past.

no way.

A newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger, but when it grows up, it fears a wolf.

The more you know, the more you understand reverence, and the more you become aware of your own shortcomings and weaknesses.

When Taibai Jinxing heard Niu Jun's question, he didn't beat around the bush and directly said with a smile:

"To be honest, Ox King, I have come here today not only to congratulate you on your attainment of the Primordial Dao, but also to receive a decree from the Great Heavenly Venerable to invite you to ascend to Heaven and share in the Heavenly Court's position."

"Sharing a position in the Heavenly Court?"

Upon hearing this, Niu Jun was taken aback at first, then smiled and asked curiously, "I wonder what celestial position the Great Celestial Venerable intends to bestow upon me when he summons me to the Heavenly Court?"

He wasn't like Sun Wukong, easily fooled. He didn't even bother to find out what kind of celestial position he was being granted before hastily following Taibai Jinxing into the Heavenly Court.

Being in such a hurry makes one a laughingstock.

Venus laughed and said, "King Ox, you may not know this, but the Great Heavenly Venerable has already discussed with the other emperors that as long as you are willing to join the Heavenly Court, you can enjoy the status of an emperor."

The Emperor's position is the most prestigious position in the Heavenly Court. It is not only blessed by the Heavenly Court's fortune, but also recognized by the Heavenly Dao. It enjoys the offerings of all living beings and is revered by immortals, demons, gods, and monsters in the Three Realms.

Even an ordinary Heavenly Emperor holds a divine position above the first rank, holding a transcendent status in the Heavenly Court, second only to the Three Pure Ones and the Four Emperors, and is not subject to the jurisdiction of the twenty-four departments of the Heavenly Court.

If this Heavenly Emperor's position were placed in the Buddhist sect of Mount Ling, it would be completely equivalent to the position of a Buddha, and that would be an unaffected Buddha's position.

To be honest, such a large sum of money really surprised Niu Jun.

He never imagined that the Heavenly Court would be willing to give up an Emperor's title just to win him over. This greatly tempted Niu Jun.

Of course, whether or not he held a position as the Heavenly Emperor was irrelevant; what mattered to him was the Heavenly Court's profound sincerity and his own lifelong desire to contribute to maintaining peace and order in the Three Realms.

However, Niu Jun was no ordinary person.

Although he was deeply moved by the Heavenly Court's invitation, he did not accept it immediately, but pondered for a moment and said:
"To be honest, Venus, I have just attained the Primordial Dao and am not very familiar with many things in the Three Realms. Therefore, I would like to ask Venus for some guidance and hope that Venus can enlighten me."

"If you have any doubts, Ox King, please tell me everything. If this old man can answer them, I will certainly not hide anything!" Venus said with a smile, but he did not make any definitive statements.

Niu Jun nodded in understanding, then asked, "May I ask Venus, how many Primordial Chaos Realm experts are there in this world?"

The "Primordial Chaos Powerhouse" he mentioned was naturally classified according to the immortal realms of the Journey to the West world, not the Primordial Chaos Saints of the prehistoric world.

Upon hearing this question, Venus pondered for a moment before carefully replying, "As far as I know, there should be no fewer than thirty Primordial Chaos Realm experts in the Three Realms today."

Thirty statues?

Niu Jun expressed doubt about Venus's answer.

Venus's answer, in particular, seemed to be somewhat irrelevant to the question.

Because he asked how many Hunyuan powerhouses there were in this world, and Taibai Jinxing replied that there were no fewer than thirty in the Three Realms.

Is the Three Realms of the Journey to the West world the entire Journey to the West universe?
Niu Jun expressed deep doubts about this.

After all, the original Journey to the West clearly states that the Journey to the West world was created by the Supreme Lord of Morality and the Great Purity, who even transformed into Nuwa to mend the sky and enlightened Shakyamuni to enter the Buddhist path.

This raises several questions.

Since the Taiqing Daozu, one of the Three Pure Ones, created the Journey to the West world, did the other two Daozu also create worlds?
Did other powerful beings in the Journey to the West universe, such as the Jade Emperor, also create worlds?
Furthermore, Taiqing Daode Tianzun transformed into Nuwa to mend the sky in the Journey to the West world. Why did he transform into Nuwa to mend the sky, and not into someone else to mend the sky?
Does this mean that there is also a Nuwa saint in the real Journey to the West universe, and that Nuwa patching up the sky is a predetermined fate that cannot be changed?
And who is the "Amitabha Buddha" chanted by the Buddhist community at Lingshan?

Is this Buddha the Buddha of Amitabha, one of the two saints of Western Buddhism in the ancient mythology, or the Buddha of Immeasurable Light, one of the three saints of Buddhism in Mahayana Buddhism?

If it is the former, is there another Cundi Buddha Mother in Buddhism?
If it is the latter, does that mean that the other two of the three saints in Mahayana Buddhism, Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva and Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva, are above the Buddha Shakyamuni?

Various thoughts surfaced in Niu Jun's mind, but vanished in an instant, without him uttering any questions.

Because he knew very well that it was already very rare for Venus to give him such an answer, and it would be bad for everyone if he really pressed for details.

After thinking for a moment, Niu Jun asked another question: "I want to know, what was the purpose of the Taiqing Dao Ancestor in creating this world?"

Venus fell silent upon hearing this question.

It wasn't that he didn't know the answer to the question, but rather that the question involved the greatest secret of this world, and he didn't know if he could tell Niu Jun about it.

"To be honest, Ox King, I know the answer to this question, but I cannot answer it. If you wish to know the secret behind this, perhaps you can ask the Great Celestial Venerable directly!"

After a moment of silence, Venus ultimately chose to answer truthfully.

Although many powerful beings in the hidden Three Realms knew about this and even participated in it.

But knowing something and participating in it doesn't mean that Venus has the right to tell others the secrets involved.

Especially given the doubts surrounding Niu Jun's identity, Venus dared not casually reveal the greatest secret of this world to Niu Jun.

What if this Bull King is an extraterrestrial demon invading our world?

If Venus were to reveal the secret to the other party, wouldn't he become a sinner against heaven and earth?
Therefore, Venus knew this answer, but could not tell Niu Jun.

Niu Jun nodded and said in a deep voice, "I can join the Heavenly Court, but there are a few conditions that Jin Xing needs to inform the Great Heavenly Venerable of. As long as the Great Heavenly Venerable agrees, I will enter the Heavenly Court immediately!"
