These four imperial edicts firmly protected the entire Huaguo Mountain region, isolating it from all external disturbances.

Venus gasped, his mind reeling.

That's it!

The sage intervened, keeping the Monkey King completely in the dark.

No wonder no one is talking about the Wanling Palace.

"Your Majesty, the Jade Emperor in Heaven invites you to become a celestial being!" Venus said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong was overjoyed.

He learned on a cultivation island that some immortals and gods resided above the nine heavens, and were the true masters of heaven and earth.

This means that as long as he becomes an official in Heaven, Sun Wukong will also be the legitimate ruler of Heaven and Earth!

"Old angel, I wonder what official position the Jade Emperor in Heaven would appoint me to?" Sun Wukong asked with a smile, grabbing Taibai Jinxing's sleeve as if they were old friends.

"How would I know? Your Majesty, you should come with me to heaven to find out," Venus said mysteriously.

In fact, he didn't know what official position the Jade Emperor would bestow upon Sun Wukong.

After bidding farewell to his monkey followers, Sun Wukong followed Taibai Jinxing to the Heavenly Court.

Soon, the two arrived at the Heavenly Court.

Outside the South Heavenly Gate, the Four Heavenly Kings were stationed when they suddenly saw Venus leading a monkey with a hairy face and a thunder god's mouth, and they were puzzled.

"Venus, you lead a monkey."

"Ahem, this is the Jade Emperor's decree."

Venus murmured, explaining.

The Four Heavenly Kings immediately realized what was happening and, without stopping them, made way for them.

Guided by Venus, Sun Wukong passed through almost unimpeded and went straight to the Lingxiao Palace.

"Your Majesty, the demon monkey from the mortal realm has been brought here."

"Oh," Haotian replied.

"Hey, you old Jade Emperor, what official position are you going to give me, Old Sun?!"

Venus bowed slightly, and Sun Wukong imitated his manners and bowed back. Then, completely disregarding the atmosphere, he asked questions without restraint.

"Hiss!" Haotian gasped inwardly as he looked at Sun Wukong.

Who taught this child of the Great Tribulation to not have eaten the peaches of immortality or the elixir of life yet!

They've already reached the peak of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm!

Haotian even sensed that if Sun Wukong cultivated for a few more days, he would probably break through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

In that case, he'll really be causing havoc in the Heavenly Palace.

The disciples of the three religions are all putting on an act.

They won't use their full strength at all. If they did it this way, even a mere Grand Luo Golden Immortal could turn the entire Heavenly Court upside down.

"What other official positions are there in the Heavenly Court?"

Despite his shock, Haotian still pretended to ask questions.

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Horse Administration is still short of a celestial being to fill the position."

The one who spoke was Wu De Xing Jun (Martial Virtue Star Lord).

Upon hearing these words, all the immortals and gods gasped in shock, their eyes widening in astonishment.

Sending a peak-level Taiyi Golden Immortal to watch the horses—truly befitting you, Martial Virtue Star Lord.

If this monkey knew the official rank of the Imperial Horse Stables, it would probably tear you to pieces.

It's an insult to appoint a lowly, insignificant stable boy as the head of the stables. He's at the peak of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm.

Sun Wukong, on the other hand, was so happy he jumped for joy.

Upon seeing this, Haotian intended to grant Sun Wukong a respectable official position.

Upon seeing this, he changed his mind and bestowed upon Sun Wukong the official position of head of the Imperial Stables.

At this moment, the immortals and gods looked at each other, each with a knowing smile on their lips, as if they were watching the biggest joke in the world.

Sun Wukong, however, did not know what the title "弼马温" meant. He thought it was a high-ranking official and happily accepted the decree, then followed the Heavenly Official to the Imperial Horse Stable.

The farce seemed to have come to an end.

The immortals and gods dispersed, and the Heavenly Court returned to its former majesty and tranquility.

……

Taiyin Star, within the Guanghan Palace.

The cool moonlight cascaded down like a waterfall of silver, and the god leaned back on a soft couch carved from millennia-old cold jade, with a beautiful piece of jade lying in his arms.

A pool of clear water, forming a mirror, floats in mid-air, clearly reflecting the scene inside the Heavenly Stables where Sun Wukong leaps and bounds, playing with the celestial horses.

Chang Xi lazily adjusted her posture, burying her head deeper into Shen Du's arms, and teased, "Husband, do you think the gods and immortals in the Heavenly Court are all a bit blind?"

"That monkey is at the peak of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, yet he's only assigned to tend horses."

“If I were to send him to my Moon Palace, I would definitely have him raise the Jade Rabbit.”

Shen Du's lips twitched. "You, Chang Xi, are no different from them."

One raises horses, the other raises rabbits; they are practically the same.

"Originally, Haotian didn't want him to go to the Imperial Horse Stables, but who made him so happy?" Shen Du shook his head.

"Speaking of which, you have already attained the status of a saint in the human realm."

"Her strength has reached the Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm, but when will the fetus in her womb be able to be nurtured and born?!"

Shen Du stroked Chang Xi's large belly with his wrist, feeling the life signs inside growing stronger, as if it was about to be born at any moment.

This is his first child.

It was conceived and born from Changxi's womb.

I just don't know if it's a jade rabbit or a dragon.

Why speak of it this way? It is because Xihe conceived for ten days, and Changxi conceived for twelve months.

In a sense, men follow their fathers and women follow their mothers.

"almost."

Chang Xi rolled her eyes, tossed Shen Du's hand aside, and said, "Don't touch my child."

"Isn't that mine too?"

"Could it be that you, Chang Xi, conceived it yourself?"

Shen Du's counter-question made Chang Xi laugh.

"Yes, yes, yes, you gave birth to her," Chang Xi said with a smile.

Then, she looked at Sun Wukong in the mirror of the pool and asked, "Is this monkey the protagonist of the Journey to the West: Great Tribulation?"

Chang Xi always felt that this monkey was kept in the dark, unlike an ordinary creature that knew about the primordial world and lived only in its own little world.

"good."

"Besides him, there are four other children of the Great Tribulation."

"However, he is the main character."

As Shen Du watched the playful Sun Wukong, a strange emotion welled up within him, and a smile appeared on his lips. "This monkey is truly naive."

“Go back to Flower Fruit Mountain and forget all the talismans I gave you.”

Upon hearing this, Chang Xi was astonished. What talisman? As someone from the upper echelons of the capital, how could she know nothing about it?!

He immediately pressed for details.

Upon hearing this, Shen Du did not hesitate, since no one could take away these twelve primordial powers anyway.

Unless he is willing to give it to someone else.

But it's just a trace of the origin, nothing serious.

A streak of light appeared at the local fingertip and transformed into twelve talismanic imprints, shimmering as brightly as starlight.

"This is my most powerful strength before I attained enlightenment."

"Would you like to experience it?"

"Xi'er!"

Upon hearing this, Chang Xi's curiosity surged. She touched the dragon-shaped talisman with her fingertips, and in an instant, a surge of rage made her eyes widen. She stood up and kicked Shen Du away.

Then, she grabbed Shen Du and forced Shen Du's head into her arms.

This whole series of actions left Shen Du completely bewildered.

Chang Xi's reprimanding words reached my ears.

"Why should I rely on you!"

"You should be the one leaning on me!"

"Dual cultivation of the primordial spirit in bed always means you're weak and I'm strong. Even if you're strong now, you can't ride on top of me, Chang Xi!"

"Do you understand?"

A bewildered Shen Du, after a moment of stunned silence in the face of Chang Xi's rapid-fire words, hesitated before finally saying, "I understand!"

But soon, Shendu came to his senses and wondered why he was down there.

A true man is born between heaven and earth; how can he remain depressed and subservient to others for long?!

In the past, he was weak.

Today, he is powerful.

We must take the initiative.
