He then discovered that the water in the Journey to the West world was much deeper than he had imagined.
Think about it, even Taibai Jinxing, who has always been ignored in the Heavenly Palace, is a great master of the Taiyi realm. What about other immortals and gods?
Not to mention the Three Pure Ones, the Four Imperial Gods and the Five Elders.
Others include the Zhenwu Emperor, the Fengdu Emperor, the Five Ghost Emperors, the Five Senses Emperor, the Three Officials Emperor, the Donghua Emperor, the Five Mountains Emperor, the Nine Heavens Thunder Ancestor Emperor, the Six Heavens Dongyuan Emperor, etc.
Or they could be the Queen Mother of the West, Dou Mu Yuanjun, Taiyin Yuanjun, Bixia Yuanjun, Jiu Tian Xuan Nu and other female fairies in heaven.
The status of these immortals and gods in the heavenly court seems to be no lower than that of Taibai Jinxing.
In fact, this is just a heaven, and does not include forces such as Buddhism, demons, humans, and independent cultivators.
If all these forces are taken into account.
I'm afraid Taibai Jinxing's status and position in the world of Journey to the West cannot even be ranked in the top 50.
Then he thought about how, when the mysterious Dharmakaya attained enlightenment at Taiyi, he used the perspective of the mysterious Dharmakaya to see through the forbidden areas that were difficult to detect in the three realms.
Niu Jun suddenly felt his scalp tingling.
I just feel that the water in this Journey to the West world is extremely deep.
Anyone who tries to conquer this universe as an ordinary middle thousand universe will probably die without knowing how he did it.
It is because of this awareness.
Only Niu Jun would be so humble and respectfully address the Jade Emperor as "the Great Heavenly Lord." He did not have any of the arrogance and ignorance of his predecessor as the Demon King.
no way.
A newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, but when it grows up it becomes afraid of wolves.
The more you know, the more you will be aware of your own shortcomings and weaknesses.
When Taibai Jinxing heard Niu Jun's question, he did not beat around the bush and said with a smile:
"To be honest with you, King Niu, I came here today not only to congratulate you on your attainment of the Hun Yuan Dao, but also to follow the decree of the Great Celestial Lord and invite you to ascend to heaven to share the position of the Heavenly Court."
"Sharing the heavenly position?"
Niu Jun was stunned at first, then he couldn't help but smile and asked curiously, "I wonder what immortal position the Great Celestial Venerable is going to confer on me when he summoned me to the Heavenly Court?"
He was not Monkey King, who could be easily fooled. He did not even find out what immortal position he was given, but hurriedly followed Taibai Jinxing into the Heavenly Palace.
Being so impatient makes people laugh at you.
Taibai Jinxing smiled and said, "What the Bull King doesn't know is that the Great Celestial Lord has already discussed with several other emperors. As long as the Bull King is willing to join the Heavenly Court, he can enjoy the status of an emperor."
The position of Emperor is the most honorable position in the Heavenly Court. Not only is it blessed by the luck of the Heavenly Court, but it is also recognized by the Heavenly Way. It is worshipped by all living beings and is revered by the immortals, demons, gods and monsters in the three realms.
Even an ordinary emperor in heaven has a super-first-class divine position and an extraordinary status in heaven, second only to the Three Pure Ones and the Four Emperors, and is not subject to the jurisdiction of the twenty-four departments of heaven.
This position of the Emperor of Heaven, if placed in the Lingshan Buddhist sect, can be completely equivalent to the position of a Buddha, but it is a Buddha position without any watering.
To be honest, such a big move really surprised Niu Jun.
He never imagined that the Heavenly Court would be willing to give up the position of Emperor in order to win him over.
This also made Niu Jun's heart beat fast.
Of course, it didn’t matter whether he achieved the status of Emperor of Heaven or not. What mattered was that he felt the deep sincerity of Heaven and that he had wanted to contribute to maintaining the peace and order of the Three Realms since he was a child.
But Niu Jun is not an ordinary person after all.
Although he was very moved by the invitation from the Heavenly Court, he did not accept it directly, but pondered:
"To be honest with you, Venus. I have just achieved the Dao of Primordial Chaos and I don't know much about many things in the Three Realms. So I want to ask Venus for advice. I hope Venus can help me solve my doubts."
"King Bull, if you have any doubts, please tell me everything. If I can answer them, I will certainly not hide anything!" Taibai Jinxing said with a smile, but did not say anything final.
Niu Jun nodded to show his understanding, and then asked: "May I ask Jin Xing, how many Hun Yuan masters are there in this world?"
The Hunyuan powerful people he mentioned are naturally divided according to the immortal realm of the world of Journey to the West, and not the Hunyuan saints of the prehistoric world.
Taibai Jinxing pondered for a moment after hearing this question, and then said carefully: "As far as I know, there should be no less than thirty Hunyuan strongmen in the Three Realms now."
Thirty?
Niu Jun expressed doubt about Taibai Jinxing's answer.
Especially Taibai Jinxing's answer, which seemed to be irrelevant to the question.
Because what he asked was how many Hunyuan powerful people there were in this world, and Taibai Jinxing replied that there were no less than thirty in the Three Realms.
Are the three realms of the Journey to the West world the entire Journey to the West universe?
Niu Jun expressed deep doubt about this.
After all, it is clearly written in the original novel of Journey to the West that the world of Journey to the West was created by Taiqing Daode Tianzun, and this Taiqing Daode Tianzun even incarnated as Nuwa to repair the sky and enlightened Sakyamuni into Buddhism.
There are several questions here.
Since Taiqing Daozu, one of the Three Pure Ones, opened up the world of Journey to the West, did the other two Daozu also open up the world?
Did other great masters in the Journey to the West universe, such as the Jade Emperor, also create new worlds?
In addition, Taiqing Daode Tianzun incarnated as Nuwa to repair the sky in the world of Journey to the West. Why did he incarnate as Nuwa to repair the sky instead of incarnating as someone else?
Does this mean that there is also a Nuwa saint in the real Journey to the West universe, and that Nuwa mending the sky is a fixed number that cannot be changed?
And who is the "Amitabha" that the Buddhists in Lingshan are chanting?
Is this Buddha the Jie Yin Buddha, one of the two saints of Western Buddhism in ancient mythology, or the Amitabha Buddha, one of the three saints of Buddhism in Mahayana Buddhism?
If it is the former, is there still a Cundi Buddha Mother in Buddhism?
If it is the latter, does it mean that the other two of the Three Saints of Mahayana Buddhism, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva and Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva, have a higher status than the Buddha Shakyamuni?
All kinds of thoughts emerged in Niu Jun's mind, but disappeared in the blink of an eye, and he did not ask them out loud.
Because he knew very well that it was very rare for Taibai Jinxing to give him such an answer. If he really wanted to get to the bottom of it, it would not be good for anyone.
After thinking for a while, Niu Jun asked another question: "I want to know, what is the purpose of Taiqing Daozu opening up this world?"
After hearing this question, Taibai Jinxing fell silent.
It’s not that he doesn’t know the answer to this question, but this question involves the biggest secret of this world, and he doesn’t know whether he can tell Niu Jun.
"To be honest with you, King Bull, I know this question, but I cannot answer you. If you want to know the secret, you can ask the Great Heavenly Venerable directly!"
After a period of silence, Taibai Jinxing finally chose to answer truthfully.
Although many powerful people in the three realms know about this secret and are involved.
But knowing is one thing, and participating is one thing, but it does not mean that Taibai Jinxing is qualified to tell other people the secrets.
Especially when Niu Jun's identity was in doubt, Taibai Jinxing did not dare to tell Niu Jun the biggest secret of this world.
What if this Bull King is an alien demon that invaded their world?
If Taibai Jinxing tells the secret to the other party, wouldn't he become a sinner of heaven and earth?
So Taibai Jinxing knew the answer, but could not tell Niu Jun.
Niu Jun nodded and said in a deep voice: "I can join the Heavenly Court, but there are a few conditions. I need Venus to report this to the Great Heavenly Venerable. As long as the Great Heavenly Venerable agrees, I will enter the Heavenly Court today!"
Chapter 59 Taibai Jinxing: The Emperor of Heaven takes turns, and it will be my turn next year!
heaven.
Lingxiao Palace!
The Jade Emperor sits upright on the throne of Heaven, with infinite light illuminating the three realms, solemn and dignified.
Taibai Jinxing bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, the Ox King has made three demands."
"One is to release the three demons, the Lion King, the Monkey King, and the Ape King, who are imprisoned in the Heavenly Palace, as well as the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, Sun Wukong, who is suppressed under the Five Elements Mountain."
"The second is to read the books in the Heavenly Palace. The Bull King is very interested in the scriptures and magical secrets collected by the Heavenly Palace. He hopes that the Great Celestial Venerable will allow him to enter the Sutra Library to read the books!"
"Third."
Taibai Jinxing paused here, as if he didn't know how to express himself.
The Jade Emperor asked curiously, "Why? Did the Bull King make any excessive demands? I don't know how to explain it, Immortal Lord?"
Taibai Jinxing said truthfully: "Your Majesty, that is not the case. The third request raised by the Bull King is not excessive at all. On the contrary..."
"What's the opposite?"
“It was somewhat unexpected.”
Taibai Jinxing thought about it and finally used the word "unexpected" to describe Niu Jun's third request.
Hearing this, the Jade Emperor's calm face showed a hint of curiosity: "What kind of request could make the Immortal Lord describe it like this?"
Taibai Jinxing smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, the third request of the Bull King is that he hopes to be given an idle position after joining the Heavenly Court. The reason is that the Bull King is indifferent by nature and is devoted to cultivation. He does not want to be disturbed by trivial matters."
Are you naturally indifferent, devoted to spiritual practice, and unwilling to be disturbed by trivial matters?
Upon hearing this, the Jade Emperor became speechless.
"If I remember correctly, when the Bull King was in Northern Juluzhou and Dongsheng Shenzhou, he was not a calm person by nature. He almost fought with that little monkey to the Heaven Palace."
"Now I want him to contribute to the sentient beings of the Three Realms, but he has become indifferent and focused on cultivation."
"Could it be that he thinks that my Heavenly Court is used to support idle people?"
The Jade Emperor was so angry at Niu Jun's third request that he said bluntly, "Go tell him that I agree to the first two requests, but not the third one."
"If you want to enjoy the status of the Emperor of Heaven, you must bear the corresponding responsibilities. If you don't want to pay and just want to enjoy, there is no such good thing in the world."
In a word.
Heaven doesn't keep idle people!
If Niu Jun's request were really agreed to, the other emperors and gods in heaven would probably be furious.
When Taibai Jinxing heard the Jade Emperor's refusal, he immediately showed helplessness on his face and sighed:
"Your Majesty, King Niu also knows that his third request is somewhat unreasonable, so he said that he can give up the position of Emperor, as long as he can have an idle position."
How important is the position of Emperor of Heaven?
Each one must gain the approval of Heaven and assume corresponding responsibilities.
This responsibility does not come from the regulations of heaven, but from the way of heaven, and even the Emperor of Heaven cannot violate it.
Therefore, Niu Jun also knew that it would be impossible to hold the position of Emperor of Heaven without working, so he proposed to give up the position of Emperor and only seek an idle immortal position.
Because immortal positions are established by the Heavenly Court, they do not require permission from Heaven, nor do they have to bear Heavenly responsibilities. For example, Sun Wukong's position as the Great Sage Equaling Heaven is a standard idle immortal position.
The reason why Niu Jun made this choice is very simple.
With the help of the Enlightenment Mirror, he did not lack the luck brought by his heavenly position and the effect of heaven's will in assisting his practice.
If you have this energy, you might as well build good relationships with friends in the Zhutian chat group and comprehend more of the great principles and laws of other universes.
No matter how bad it is, you can still enjoy it.
There is really no need to involve yourself in the disputes among the three realms just for the sake of this little practice effect. Not only will you be exhausted, but you will also offend others.
When the Jade Emperor heard this, he was speechless.
No wonder Taibai Jinxing used the word "unexpected" to describe it, but it was the third request of the Bull King that was really unexpected.
The Jade Emperor was silent for a moment, then said, "Go tell the Bull King that I will give him two choices regarding his immortal position."
"One is the Nine Heavens Mysterious Extreme Demon Emperor, who is in charge of the military affairs of the world, travels around the world to intimidate all spirits, destroys all magic and exterminates evil sects, enters the Upper Palace of Gou Chen, and obtains the status of the Emperor of Heaven."
"One is Xuantian Dali Tianzun, a super-grade immortal. He is not under the command of the Four Imperial Lords and is not summoned by the Heavenly Court. He has an immortal residence and a salary. His name is recorded in the immortal records, but he cannot obtain the fruit position and cannot be worshipped by the three realms."
"Ask him which of these two choices he chooses!"
The Jade Emperor still thought highly of Niu Jun, so he decided to give him another chance to choose and told him about his original title of pardon.
After that, he seemed to have thought of something and said, "You see the Bull Queen, you can tell her the mystery of the Heavenly Emperor's status."
However, he mistakenly thought that Niu Jun did not know the mystery of the position of the Emperor of Heaven.
That's why I was thinking of asking for a sinecure.
Upon hearing this, Taibai Jinxing bowed and said, "I obey your order!"
