Journey to the West: Cultivation Begins at Jindou Mountain

Chapter 206 The Blue Ox with Horns
Six days later, outside the Zhuling Dantai.

After the Buddha Dipankara and Laozi finished their sermons, many celestial officials, generals, and clerks bowed in gratitude. As the two departed, everyone else followed suit.

At this moment, several celestial officials and generals whom the Divine Physician Daojun knew were exchanging pleasantries with him.

Everyone still vividly remembers when this person was summoned by the attendant of Laozi, clearly indicating that he has a close relationship with Laozi.

Daojun remained calm, exchanging pleasantries with everyone as they walked outside. At this moment, apart from him, no one knew that a huge "storm" was brewing outside.

In Daojun Palace, as soon as Niu Yi returned to the palace, he saw an old-looking celestial official pacing back and forth.

This person was Guo Yun, the temple keeper of Daojun Palace, more than a hundred years ago.

Guo Yun toiled his entire life in Daojun Palace, and at the end of his life, he achieved perfect merit and ascended to immortality. Although he was the lowest-ranking official in the Heavenly Court, he was spared the suffering of reincarnation.

Seeing that if he were to descend to the mortal realm, the Heavenly Court's Daojun Palace would be left unguarded, he entrusted the task of guarding the Daojun Palace to Guo Yun.

Upon seeing his Dao Lord return, Guo Yun quickly stepped forward and bowed to him.

"Daojun, you're back!"

"What's wrong? You look like something happened?"

"Daojun, our Daojun Palace is fine, but I heard that something seems to have happened at Yaochi, causing quite a commotion."

"After inquiring outside, I learned that it seems someone stole the peaches from the Queen Mother of the West's Peach Garden. The inspectors outside are asking around and investigating."

What was supposed to come still came.
"Don't worry, this matter won't affect Daojun Palace. Just stay home, keep the gate closed, and don't go out."

"Yes, I understand."

After the Daoist finished speaking, he turned and walked outside. Before long, beams of light rose from all directions of the Heavenly Court and converged towards the South Heavenly Gate. A sense of solemnity and tension permeated the Heavenly Court.

"The Five Sacred Mountains and the Four Great Rivers, the Nine Luminaries, the Twelve Earthly Branches, and the Five Directions of the Heavenly Kings."

Daojun looked at the figures in the beams of light. These beings held high positions in the Heavenly Court and were all capable individuals. Many of them were acquaintances of him.

That's quite a grand display!
His true form is still cultivating the Dao on Mount Jindu. The sermon between Dipankara Buddha and Laozi brought him considerable benefits, and he is still in seclusion. If he wants to emerge from seclusion this time, it will probably take him quite some time as well.

Although he was grateful to the two preachers, he was even more grateful to his master. If his master had not laid such a solid foundation for him, it was uncertain how much he would have gained from listening to their sermons.

Now that his physical body is immobile, he hesitated about whether this divine avatar should still go to Flower Fruit Mountain.

His junior brother, thinking back now, realized that in the fifty years he had served in the Peach Garden, he had eaten most of the peaches, and now he had drunk countless imperial wines and five jugs of Nine-Turn Golden Elixir, some raw and some ripe, before escaping to the mortal realm.

With so many wonderful things, let alone anything else, even just giving away a single peach from the Peach Garden could make someone attain immortality.

Marshal Tianpeng, back then, only obtained one Nine-Turn Golden Pill from Laozi, and that's how he became an immortal.

Now, one wonders what state his junior brother has reached; it truly arouses great curiosity.
Daojun pondered for a long time, then slowly shook his head.

It wasn't that he didn't want to go, but the methods of his divine avatar were ultimately inferior to those of his main body, and this battle was far more intense than the previous ones.

If this gets discovered, will he help his junior brother or the 100,000 heavenly soldiers?

It's best not to join in the fun.
Daojun shook his head. Seeing that no light had risen around him for a long time, he knew that the 100,000 heavenly soldiers gathered there had probably already descended to the mortal realm to go to Flower Fruit Mountain.

"Daojun! Daojun!" Upon hearing that familiar voice, Daojun immediately turned around and saw Venus riding the clouds, seemingly rushing towards them.

As the divine physician Daojun watched the rapidly approaching Venus, his eyes slowly widened.

Because Venus was holding a blue ox with flat horns!
What is a board corner?

It has a single horn growing on the top of its head and the center of its forehead.

The Green Ox with a single horn pointing skyward is a creature resembling a green ox. There is only one Green Ox with a single horn in the Three Realms, and that is the mount of Laozi!
Why did the Star Lord bring out the Supreme Dao Ancestor's mount?
"Star Lord, what's wrong?"

But then Venus, leading a blue ox with flat horns, came rather urgently to the Divine Physician Daoist Lord and greeted him:

"Daojun! Daojun!"

“I just met a boy from the Tushita Palace. He brought this blue ox to me and asked me to bring it to you, saying that he would trouble you to take care of it for a few days.”

"I will entrust this green ox to you, Daoist Lord. I must descend to the mortal realm immediately. If any battle situation arises, I will send a message to you as soon as possible."

After Venus finished speaking, he stuffed the rope in his hand into Daojun's hand, and without waiting for Daojun's reply, he hurriedly rode the clouds and descended to the mortal realm.

"star"

Daojun reached out and beckoned to Taibai Jinxing, but could only watch as Taibai Jinxing quickly disappeared into the distance.

Only after Venus's figure completely disappeared did Daojun lower his hand, open his mouth, and then look at the horned blue ox in front of him, only to find that the blue ox was also looking at him with its huge bull eyes.

"Moo—"

On Flower Fruit Mountain, Sun Wukong and his many monkey followers, along with the seventy-two demon kings of Flower Fruit Mountain, were watching as the heavenly soldiers and generals descended from the sky amidst a gust of yellow wind and purple clouds.

At this time, eighteen nets had been laid across Huaguo Mountain, and no demon could escape from there.

Sun Wukong grinned, leaning on his Ruyi Jingu Bang, showing no fear whatsoever.

At this moment, in front of the Heavenly Army, the Nine Luminaries Star Lords looked ashamed, because they had just joined forces but were defeated by Sun Wukong and had no choice but to flee in disarray.

"Hmph! Four Heavenly Kings and Twenty-Eight Constellations, step forward! You must capture this thief!"

"Yes!!!"

Seeing the Four Heavenly Kings and the Twenty-Eight Constellations riding the clouds and mist towards Flower Fruit Mountain, Sun Wukong was not afraid at all. He took the initiative to meet the four Heavenly Kings who were guarding the Heavenly Gate. Behind him, many demon kings and four generals led their demons to find the Twenty-Eight Constellations.

"This...this is Junior Brother Wukong?"

Outside the net of heaven and earth, on the sea not far from Flower Fruit Mountain, Guangwu watched Sun Wukong displaying his divine power, fighting against the Four Heavenly Kings, and suppressing them with just his golden cudgel. Guangwu's mouth gaped slightly.

"Hmm~ Junior Brother Wukong, although he hasn't attained the Great Luo Dao Fruit yet, his skills and combat power are still quite formidable even among those in the Great Luo Realm. He's quite remarkable."

The Taoist priest Guanghui, holding a whisk in his hand, looked at Sun Wukong with a hint of amazement in his eyes.
