Jackie Chan Adventures: I have everything I need now.

Now, the Investiture of the Gods has been ruined by that demon monkey, serves him right!

The Investiture of the Gods was destroyed. Why don't they recall their disciples and followers? Why do they expect them to remain in Heaven, serving as slaves to the Jade Pool of Heaven?!

That's a pretty nice idea!

"cough!"

Hongjun coughed lightly, and instantly, the weeping from Haotian Yaochi ceased.

Then, Hongjun's eyes flashed slightly, revealing a hint of accusation. He looked at Shen Du, who seemed completely unaffected, and said, "Fellow Daoist, shouldn't you give me a reasonable explanation for this matter?!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Du casually spread his hands, as if it were none of his business, and said leisurely, "What explanation does Fellow Daoist Hongjun want?!"

"What does this have to do with me?!"

"That demonic monkey destroyed the Investiture of the Gods entirely because Haotian Yaochi brought trouble upon himself!"

"Moreover, if you want an explanation, Fellow Daoist Hongjun, you should go to the Sage Taiqing for an explanation!"

"After all, it was the Three Corpses of the Supreme Lord Laozi of the Supreme Purity Saint who threw that demon monkey into the Eight Trigrams Furnace to refine it, and finally refined it into a demon saint at the peak of the Primordial Golden Immortal."

"What does this have to do with me?!"

Upon hearing this, all the saints and primordial golden immortals present turned to look at the Taiqing Saint.

They almost forgot!

It was Laozi who refined Sun Wukong into a peak-level Hunyuan Golden Immortal.

Chapter 317 Zixiao's Quarrel, Demon God's Cooperation

"Fellow Daoist Shen Du, let's not change the subject."

"This is what you mean, fellow Daoist."

"I am the spokesperson for the Heavenly Dao, and I also possess the three thousand Jade Tablets of Creation, which were once the companion treasures of the great god Pangu. How could I not calculate that Sun Wukong destroyed the Investiture of the Gods because of your intention, fellow Daoist!"

"The Three Corpses of Taiqing were nothing more than a scapegoat, tricked by you, fellow Daoist."

"Fellow Daoist, are you going to reject all of these?!"

Hongjun's eyes suddenly fixed on Shendu, trying to get the answer he wanted.

As Hongjun said, this was indeed a scheme he had devised and plotted.

Now that he has been exposed, why should he hide?

He spread his hands, revealing an indifferent attitude, and said, "Fellow Daoist Hongjun, this matter was indeed done by me."

"But so what!?"

"The Investiture of the Gods bestows titles upon the gods of Heaven, but the positions in Heaven must be held by the countless beings of the primordial world, not by disciples of sage sects!"

"The Heavenly Court should be as impartial and selfless as the Way of Heaven; how can it tolerate the opinions of only one side?!"

His voice was calm, yet it revealed the true nature of the Heavenly Court, causing all the saints and Grand Luo Immortals present to fall into deep thought.

At this moment, a glint of scheming flashed in Donghuang Taiyi's eyes.

He felt that Shen Du's words made a lot of sense.

Their demon race was a powerful clan in the primordial world, yet they didn't even have the right to speak in the Heavenly Court.

This doesn't make sense!

With this in mind, Donghuang Taiyi did not hesitate at all and directly echoed, "I think Daoist Venerable's words make a lot of sense!"

"In the past, my demon race's Heavenly Court was a great family, but it perished in the primordial world. Now, the Heavenly Court conferred by the Investiture of the Gods is also a great family, which is why it was destroyed by Sun Wukong's staff."

"Why don't we rebuild the Heavenly Court? The Heavenly Court should be completely impartial and selfless!"

As he spoke, Donghuang Taiyi patted his chest and volunteered, "I believe I was once the Heavenly Emperor, and I am now qualified to be the Emperor of the Heavenly Court. I wonder what suggestions my fellow Daoists have?!"

Before the assembled saints below could speak, the Grand Luo Immortal of Hunyuan spoke. Upon hearing these words, Haotian Yaochi, who had been weeping, suddenly twitched his eyes and became agitated.

The resounding voices echoed throughout the heavens.

"No!"

"The demon race is deeply sinful, having caused the primordial world to shatter and the pillars of heaven to collapse. How can demon beings be the Heavenly Emperor of the Heavenly Court?!"

"That's absolutely impossible!"

"..."

Haotian Yaochi's rebuttal caused Donghuang Taiyi to look at them. His deep, dark pupils, carrying a trace of true solar fire, seemed to be warning the two that if they dared to say another word, he would slap them to death.

Unfortunately, Haotian Yaochi, knowing she had powerful backing and was supported by Hongjun, was not afraid at all and boasted, "How dare the demon race set foot on the land of the Heavenly Court!"

"If that's the case, what about the Nine Heavens Demon-Subduing Ancestor?!"

"So what?!"

Donghuang Taiyi retorted sarcastically.

For a moment, the two were locked in a dispute.

The three overlords of the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin clans, who were standing to the side, understood everything with just a glance between their eyes.

Zulong went even further, declaring, "My dragon race can also be the Primordial Heavenly Emperor!"

"My Phoenix Clan"

"I am a member of the Qilin clan."

"I am an Asura."

"..."

For a time, all the saints and the Great Luo Golden Immortals were caught up in the dispute, each boasting and trying to push themselves into the position of Heavenly Emperor.

After all, if one becomes the Heavenly Emperor, one can legitimately intervene in matters of destiny in the primordial world.

Instead of resorting to covert recruitment as it is now.

"Shen Du Daoist, you have a premeditated scheme. As expected of a spokesperson for humanity, your scheming is indeed deep and dark, with no bottom in sight."

Hongjun's eyes showed a hint of amazement. If it weren't for the deductive power of the Jade Tablet of Creation, even he would have had difficulty deducing who the culprit was in this place filled with immense calamity.

This kind of scheming is far more profound than that of the former Demon Ancestor Rahu.

"You flatter me, Fellow Daoist Hongjun."

"Besides, I didn't do this; I just went along with it!"

"How could Sun Wukong let this go after being so thoroughly fooled?"

"Besides, wasn't it you, fellow Daoist, who forced the Three Pure Ones to make that choice during the Investiture of the Gods?!"

"The destruction of the Heavenly Court is only a matter of time!"

"Why can't I push it to the terminal?"

Shen Du asked casually, seemingly unaware of any pressure from Hongjun.

"Fellow Daoist Shen Du, this is sophistry."

"This is sophistry, it's the truth!"

"you"

"Could it be..."

"..."

For a time, in the vast Zixiao Palace, below, the saints and Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortals were arguing fiercely, but they all had a tacit understanding and did not make a move.

The reason is simple: whoever makes a move now will suffer a loss, especially since there are three representatives above them.

Similar to them, at this moment, Shendu and Hongjun started arguing. Shendu just wouldn't admit it, stubbornly refusing to admit it. Hongjun was quite helpless, but there was nothing he could do. Both sides stuck to their own versions of events, and neither would admit anything.

And so, the sounds of arguing continued in Zixiao Palace, causing Houtu to look at the two of them, her lips twitching slightly, and her eyes filled with a particularly helpless look.

What exactly is going on?

The plan for the Journey to the West had been agreed upon beforehand, but the Beast King Shenni was born to disrupt things.

The Journey to the West is currently underway, the Investiture of the Gods in Heaven has been destroyed, and the once vast Heavenly Court is now deserted. Does it still bear the name of Heaven?!

No!

The culprit behind everything was that Hongjun didn't tell the truth and secretly kept a secret.

The latter is someone even the gods wouldn't know to cause trouble for, yet they deliberately hinted to Sun Wukong to destroy the Investiture of the Gods.

Now, the two started arguing, and Houtu was quite helpless.

She was thinking about how to bring her older brother and sister back to life.

Once, the Heavenly Dao ruled the primordial world, and would not allow the dead to reappear there.

But now that the Great Dao controls the primordial world, it won't concern itself with the resurrection of primordial beings. The Great Dao will only care whether the Chaos Gods will be resurrected, and it won't pay attention to these little Karami.

During the argument at Zixiao Palace.

Meanwhile, on the desolate land.

In the depths of darkness.

This place is the dojo where the Demon Ancestor Rahu temporarily resides in the primordial world.

"From this day forward, you shall be none other than the Lord!"

Luo Hou looked down, clad in a long black robe, his body emanating waves of demonic energy that distorted the space around him, and ignited a chilling demonic flame. He then spoke.

"As the Demon Ancestor commands!"

"I am Wutian!"

"He is the nemesis of Buddha!"

Seeing this, Luo Hou nodded with satisfaction, and then told him to go to a side hall to cultivate and wait for the tribulation to be completed. That would be the time when the demonic path would rise and the day when Wutian would descend to earth.

Rahu is an enemy of the immortal path.

Wutian is the enemy of Buddhism and Taoism.
