The Primordial Giant Spirit God captures Sun Wukong at the start.

"May I ask Your Highness, do you know the true level of the thief's cultivation?"

Taibai Xingjun pressed for details, wanting to guess the thief's identity as much as possible.

"That aura is comparable in strength to mine, also at the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, but I'm unsure if it's an avatar!"

The Queen Mother did not hide anything.

Taibai Xingjun may lack physical strength, but he is very intelligent.

With his help in the analysis, it's easier to find the thief.

Upon hearing this, Taibai Xingjun's expression darkened.

In the Heavenly Court, those whose cultivation can reach this level are extremely rare.

Besides Laozi, there are only the Five Emperors, Doumu Yuanjun, the Three Immortals of Sanxiao and Zhao Gongming!

Laozi would never do something so degrading. The Five Emperors guard their respective regions and rarely return to the Heavenly Palace.

Doumu Yuanjun, the Three Immortals of Sanxiao, and Zhao Gongming were all disciples of Tongtian Shengren. Although they were arrogant and perfunctory towards the Heavenly Court, they were ultimately constrained by the Investiture of the Gods and dared not act rashly!

Could they be powerful beings left over from ancient times?

He pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "Your Majesty, I believe it is not advisable to make a fuss at this time!"

The Queen Mother was hoping that Taibai Xingjun would give her some good advice, but she heard Taibai Xingjun tell her to bear with it!

Those were all her peaches!

They didn't leave her a single one; how could she possibly stand for that?

Noticing her unusual expression, Taibai Xingjun quickly continued, "Your Majesty!"

"Regardless of who in our Heavenly Court was involved, this matter should not be investigated!"

"Oh?"

The Queen Mother raised an eyebrow. "So, you're saying my peaches deserved to be stolen?"

"Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

"It's not that Taibai intentionally protected them, but those in the Heavenly Court with such cultivation are all important officials!"

"They either wield great power or have powerful backgrounds, and they don't have much of a sense of belonging to the Heavenly Court. Even if Your Majesty asks His Majesty to take action and find the thieves, what good will it do?"

"Is it better to cut off one's own arm, or risk offending the person behind them?"

"And if it weren't for the intervention of our Heavenly Court, a rash move would have directly attracted a powerful enemy to the Heavenly Court!"

"No matter what choice we make, it will be a great loss for our Heavenly Court!"

Venus slowly explained, his analysis being both logical and well-founded.

The Queen Mother took a deep breath, considering how to accept this reality with dignity, when she saw Taibai Jinxing standing tall and proud, looking confident and composed!

"You cunning Taibai, how dare you play tricks on me!"

"What brilliant plan do you have? Tell me quickly!"

"Your Majesty, I do have a plan, but I need Your Majesty's cooperation!" Taibai said, bowing.

"Tell me!" the Queen Mother said impatiently.

"In my opinion, Your Majesty should entrust this matter to the Buddhist community and request their assistance in finding the thieves!"

"The journey to the West is the foundation for the great prosperity of Buddhism. The Heavenly Court merely agreed to provide assistance. Now, Her Majesty has suffered heavy losses as a result. How can Buddhism remain uninvolved?"

"That makes sense!"

Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother stood up excitedly.

"Sun Wukong is, after all, a treasure of Buddhism. How can I bear the blame for such a grave offense alone?"

The Buddhist community should not only help her catch the thief, but also compensate her for her losses!

Upon realizing this, she beamed with joy.

"This plan is brilliant!"

"Your Majesty, please don't worry!"

"Is there anything else?"

"Your Majesty, simply tell the Buddhist sect that the thief is a Great Luo Golden Immortal!"

"Oh? Why is that?" The Queen Mother asked, somewhat puzzled.

Wouldn't doing this be harming Buddhism?

"Your Majesty, if the thief is truly from the Heavenly Court, and the Buddhist sect captures him in one fell swoop, what benefit would that bring to the Heavenly Court?"

"Conversely, if the Buddhist disciples are at a disadvantage, we can not only take the opportunity to find the mastermind behind it all and avenge Her Majesty, but also observe the situation and consider how to recruit that thief to our side!"

"Even if the Buddhist sect investigates later, we can use the excuse that the thief concealed his cultivation level to cover it up!"

"This is the only foolproof solution!"

After Taibai Xingjun finished speaking, the Queen Mother's eyes shone even brighter than before.

"good!"

"Taibai, if this matter succeeds, I request His Majesty to bestow upon you the title of Yuanjun!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

……

Meanwhile, inside General Tianhe's mansion.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for successfully altering cause and effect. Cultivation +250000 years, Yellow Plum Fruit *1, Quasi-Saint Early Stage One-Minute Experience Card *1.]

Shi Daju looked at the system's rewards, but like last time, he didn't claim them.

His cultivation level suddenly jumped from the peak of Xuanxian to the late stage of Jinxian, which was already quite remarkable.

Fortunately, the various immortals had not paid attention to him before, allowing him to get away with it by claiming that he was "hiding his cultivation level".

But now he is a favorite of the Jade Emperor, the famous Giant Spirit Heavenly King, with countless eyes watching him, so he cannot break through rashly!

I can only break through when I am promoted to the position of Yuanjun and officially become a lord of the Heavenly Court!

Anyway, he still has two experience cards for the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, which is enough to handle most problems.

"I wonder when the Jade Emperor will keep his promise!"

Just as he was pondering this, a commotion suddenly arose outside the door.

Then, a middle-aged man dressed in the robes of a Taoist priest walked in.

"So it's Master Xu!"

Shi Daju immediately stood up to greet him.

The visitor was Xu Jingyang, one of the four Heavenly Masters responsible for conveying imperial edicts to the Jade Emperor!

"But His Majesty has issued a decree?"

Xu Jingyang warmly took his hand, "It's not an imperial decree, but His Majesty, recognizing the Heavenly King's merits, has bestowed upon him one ginseng fruit and three peaches!"

"May the Heavenly King attain the Dao of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm soon and succeed to the position of the Primordial Sovereign!"

As he spoke, he stared at Shi Daju with envy in his eyes.

He had followed His Majesty for countless years, but had never received such treatment!

Upon hearing this, Shi Daju was overjoyed.

He hurriedly accepted the ginseng fruit and peaches bestowed by the Jade Emperor!

This resource came at just the right time!

With these resources, he can legitimately make a breakthrough!

"Master Xu, please convey my gratitude to His Majesty for his great favor!"

As he spoke, he took out the Xuanhua axe he had used before. "Celestial Master, this is a token of my respect; I hope you will not refuse!"

A kind smile immediately appeared on Xu Jingyang's face.

Although this spiritual treasure is not an innate spiritual treasure, judging from the materials used, it was crafted with considerable care.

For him, a celestial master in the early stages of the Golden Immortal realm, it was a rare treasure.

It's a pity he doesn't use an axe.

However, this is not a big problem. At worst, we can sell it and use the proceeds to buy refining materials. In the end, we still made a profit!

He calmly accepted the Xuanhua Axe, then cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards Shi Daju and said, "Your Majesty, if there is ever any need for my assistance in the future, Jingyang will do his utmost!"

Shi Daju exchanged a few more polite words and then arranged for the garrison commander to escort Xu Jingyang away.

After doing all this.

"System, claim your reward from last time!"

hum!

A familiar warmth flowed into my body.

In an instant, his cultivation level broke through to the peak of the Golden Immortal realm.

At the same time, ten Enlightenment Tea Leaves and a Quasi-Saint Early Stage Experience Card (one breath) also arrived in my account.

"System, claim your reward!"

boom!

A booming sound emanated from within his body.

The next moment, his body underwent a qualitative change, and he successfully broke through to the early stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal in no time!

Feeling the earth-shattering changes within his body, Shi Daju felt an unprecedented surge of power.

"Is this the realm of the Taiyi Golden Immortal?"
