Martial Arts Crossover: Infiltrating a Girls' Chat Group at the Start

After all, there are also journeys to the east, south, and north.

“I’ve made up my mind,” Sun Wukong said. “I have already made an agreement with the Goddess Houtu to go to the underworld to atone for my sins. After all, I was young and ignorant back then, and I caused trouble in the underworld and destroyed the Book of Life and Death. I have to make amends.”

Before Buddha could say anything, the Jade Emperor couldn't help but say, "Wukong, you also caused trouble in the Heavenly Palace back then, but the Great Sage Equaling Heaven's Palace in the Heavenly Palace is still there."

Buddha could no longer contain himself, "Your Majesty, you have gone too far."

A coughing sound came from the void.

Upon hearing this voice, the Jade Emperor immediately appeared and, together with Laozi, Buddha, and others, bowed to the void, saying, "We greet Your Majesty!"

Lin Zhu, Dugu Meng, Di Er Meng, Li Xiuning, Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Wujing also reacted quickly.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

Li Shimin was stunned. Who was this person? Such a grand entourage! Even the Jade Emperor and Laozi had to pay their respects!

However, it's never wrong to be overly polite, and since the big shots had already bowed, they could simply follow suit.

"Greetings, Your Majesty."

"No need!" The six paths of reincarnation circulated, golden light filled the sky, and Houtu appeared.

She was accompanied by three clones of Sun Wukong.

Li Shimin was stunned. Four Sun Wukongs? Quadruplets?

As for Houtu's appearance, he couldn't see it clearly.

"Little bamboo!" Houtu looked at Lin Zhu.

Lin Zhu stepped forward and replied, "Little Zhu is here."

Li Shimin's lips twitched when he heard this form of address, and he muttered, "Something about this form of address feels off."

Lin Zhu's face darkened. "I don't mind if you call me that in private, but it's not right for you to call me that in public, Your Majesty."

He raised his head, his gaze somewhat resentful.

Houtu smiled and said, "I've taken care of everything for you, including the Sun Star and the Southern Volcano Wutong Forest. Whenever you want to go, just go there."

Lin Zhu's eyes lit up, and she said excitedly, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

He was so happy he was practically beside himself.

Seeing his attitude, Li Shimin immediately knew that Houtu had promised him many benefits, which made him somewhat envious.

It's just a name, isn't it?

Come, young prince, or commoner, call me whatever you like, I don't mind.

Chapter 1129 The Auction Begins

Little Li Zi is definitely out of the question, because there really is a Little Li Zi in the palace.

Neither Laozi nor Buddha knew why Lin Zhu went to the Wutong Forest of the Sun Star and the Southern Volcano.

However, the Jade Emperor had some guesses, perhaps it was similar to Lin Zhu's situation in the Peach Garden, after all, the Queen Mother had told him.

The Jade Emperor was also somewhat looking forward to what would happen when all ten top-grade innate spiritual roots were gathered into one.

However, this is a unique creation of the forest and bamboo, and it cannot be replicated.

The Buddha asked, "Your Majesty, have you come here for Wukong?"

He didn't call himself "Monkey King" because he still had a glimmer of hope.

If Houtu had said it herself, he would have had no choice but to accept his fate.

Houtu smiled and nodded, "Your Buddhist sect has both merit and hard work. Although you cannot receive all the merit from this four-way journey, we will not let you suffer any loss."

Upon hearing this, Buddha's eyes lit up, and he stood on the ground and bowed deeply, saying, "Your Majesty is merciful."

The main reason is to maintain unity in the Pangu Realm; otherwise, with the increasing strength of the Earth, she could take as many benefits as she wanted.

Since it's all perfectly legitimate, there's no fear of Jieyin and Zhunti returning.

However, the overall situation should be prioritized at this time.

After all, when he sent Jiufeng to find Sun Wukong's three clones, he had told the Buddhist sect to consider the overall situation.

In that case, the Buddhist community should take whatever it is entitled to.

She looked at Sun Wukong's true form and asked, "Wukong, there must be a protector in Buddhism, whether it is your clone or your true form. Now I will give you three choices: the Great Sage Equaling Heaven of Heaven in Heaven, Wukong Daojun of the Xuanmen, and the Great Monkey King of the Underworld. There are four forces in total, each sending one of your forms. You decide where your true form will go."

The Jade Emperor's eyes lit up; his opportunity had arrived.

He said softly, "Great Sage Sun, I've reserved the Great Sage Equaling Heaven's Mansion for you. Come to the Heavenly Court. You can come and go freely from Flower Fruit Mountain and the Great Sage Equaling Heaven's Mansion, just like Yang Jian. You can obey orders but not summons, how about that?"

Laozi also realized what was happening, "Wukong, join my Xuanmen sect, and I will give you a Nine-Turn Golden Pill every hundred years."

Buddha was stunned. No, you guys are really willing to go all out!

Before he could speak, Houtu said, "Your original body no longer needs to reincarnate; the previous promise remains valid."

Sun Wukong was moved and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Then everyone turned their attention to the Buddha, waiting for him to name his price.

Buddha feels immense pressure right now!

“Amitabha! I have a grotto-heaven on Mount Emei. Wukong, if you come to my Buddhist sect, I will bestow upon you the title of Victorious Fighting Buddha and grant you the Emei Grotto-heaven. In the grotto-heaven, there is a top-grade innate spiritual root, the Golden Jade Banana. The Golden Jade Bananas that grow there are not only delicious but also have the effect of strengthening the body. They are extremely rare. As long as you come to the Buddhist sect, all of this will be yours.”

He went all out, even using his own money.

This is an asset he left behind when he was still known as Duobao.

Sun Wukong was somewhat tempted.

"Ahem!" The Jade Emperor raised the price, "There will be plenty of peaches under nine thousand years old. At the Peach Banquet, you can take ten percent of the remaining peaches."

Buddha was shocked and turned to look at the Jade Emperor, 'Are you determined to make things difficult for me?'

The Jade Emperor looked up at the sky and said, "The highest bidder wins. If you're capable, then raise your bid."

Laozi seized the opportunity, saying, "Wukong, I see you don't have any magical treasures. How about this Purple Gold Gourd? How about this Vajra Bracelet? Oh, and I can also upgrade your Golden Cudgel."

Buddha could no longer sit still. "Wukong, when you come to my Mount Ling, your status is only below that of the Ancient Buddha, this Buddha, and the Future Buddha."

This time, it was the Jade Emperor and Laozi who were shocked; the Buddha's price was a bit too high.

They just wanted Sun Wukong to be their mascot, but Buddha directly gave him the power to divide the spoils, which was a bit too much.

But what they didn't expect was that Sun Wukong was carefree and looked down on Buddhism.

He was serious about eating peaches, so he asked, "Jade Emperor, is it true that there are plenty of peaches? After the Peach Banquet, will you also give me, Old Sun, one-tenth of the peaches?"

The Jade Emperor was overjoyed and nodded quickly, "Of course!"

Buddha sensed something was wrong, but before he could stop him, Sun Wukong said, "Then I, Old Sun, will go back to Heaven. Remember to invite me to the Peach Banquet."

"Of course, of course!" It was truly a case of "after the darkest hour comes the dawn," and the Jade Emperor's joy was palpable, his smile completely uncontrollable.

Although the merit gained from all four directions will be the same, the fortune of that place will be higher depending on where Sun Wukong's true form is located.

In the end, with Sun Wukong becoming one with the other four, his side would have at least one Chaos-level fighter, which was an incredible win.

Lin Zhu was not envious of Sun Wukong at all.

With the Three Lights Divine Water in hand, let alone peaches of immortality.

Even if it's ginseng fruit, yellow plum, or five-needle pine nuts, he can have as much as he wants.

Sun Wukong bowed to Houtu and said, "Your Majesty, I, Old Sun, am going to the Heavenly Court."

"Good!" Houtu nodded with a smile. "The conditions offered by the Jade Emperor are quite good, just right for your lazy nature."

Upon hearing this, Buddha realized his mistake. How could he have failed to consider Sun Wukong's nature? He was just a monkey; how could he possibly understand the benefits of power?

As for gathering fortune for cultivation, at least at this stage, even if Sun Wukong cultivates to the Chaos Realm, there won't be too many restrictions. The amount of fortune isn't that important; what he has now is more than enough.

Turning to look at the Jade Emperor, he felt that this wicked fellow truly understood that mischievous monkey.

Houtu concluded, "Now that the matter is over, let's disperse." With that, she sent Sun Wukong's clone to Buddha's side, saying, "Buddha, he will go back with you."

"Yes!" Buddha looked at Sun Wukong's six-eared clone and felt somewhat relieved, at least he hadn't gained nothing at all.

"Laojun, this Red-Bottomed Avatar will go with you." Houtu sent another avatar with Taishang Laojun, leaving the Long-Armed Avatar by her side.

Buddha looked at Sun Wukong and the others. Tang Sanzang had already decided to stay in Chang'an. That was for the best.

After all, Tang Sanzang is Tang Sanzang, not Jin Chanzi. If he knelt down, Tang Sanzang would never be able to return to Mount Ling.

If Tang Sanzang becomes Jin Chanzi after crossing Lingyun Ferry, it doesn't matter whether he kneels or not.

Pigsy returned to the Xuanmen sect, Sandy returned to the Heavenly Court, and in the end, Buddha was given only one choice.

He looked at Ao Lie, "Third Prince, are you willing to convert? I will grant you the status of a Bodhisattva."

The Bodhisattva status was already quite good for Ao Lie, and seeing that Lin Zhu and Sun Wukong both nodded in agreement, he accepted it.

"Thank you, Buddha."

Then, Tathagata departed with the Six-Eared Macaque and Ao Lie, who had transformed into a rainbow.

The red-bottomed clone followed Laozi, and after thinking for a moment, Pigsy followed as well.

Before leaving, he said to Sun Wukong, "Brother Monkey, let's meet again in Heaven in a while."

"No problem, no problem." Sun Wukong nodded happily.

The Jade Emperor smiled and said to Sun Wukong, "Great Sage Sun, come back to Heaven with me. This time, I will hold a conferment ceremony for you, on the same scale as the Peach Banquet. How about we hold it at your Great Sage Equaling Heaven Palace? You can also invite some of your friends from the mortal realm."

Sun Wukong's eyes lit up; the Jade Emperor's idea had completely hit the nail on the head.

Chapter 1130 This is truly a fabricated scripture!

"Brother Jade Emperor, you really understand me, Old Sun. Thank you! Thank you!" Sun Wukong had already decided who to invite.

They would definitely invite the Bull Demon King and his gang; after all, they had become quite the stars and wanted to show off in front of their brothers.

Lin Zhu and Tang Sanzang will definitely be invited, as well as Zhu Bajie, Sha Wujing, and the White Dragon Horse.

He asked, "Are there enough peaches?"
