Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything-Chapter 1507 - 1505: Jade Emperor, Don’t You Owe Me an Explanation?
"Thank you!" Hearing the words of the Southern Heavenly Gate Guardian General, knowing they could enter the Heavenly Court, Zhu Bajie nodded and expressed his gratitude!
Immediately, the previously closed Southern Heavenly Gate opened slightly, allowing Zhu Bajie and Sun Wukong to enter!
"Marshal, please hurry along!" As the two entered the Southern Heavenly Gate, the Guardian General spoke.
"Understood!" Zhu Bajie nodded and said!
Soon, together with Sun Wukong, they headed swiftly in the direction of the Heavenly River!
Given Zhu Bajie and Sun Wukong's familiarity with the Heavenly Court, it was natural that they soon arrived near the Heavenly River!
"Bajie, it's all your fault. Why bother with all the formalities!" After coming near the Heavenly River, Sun Wukong immediately spoke to Zhu Bajie!
"Oh, my Monkey Brother, we're here to make trouble, that's true, but we need to have a reason to act! Breaking the great formation of the Southern Heavenly Gate without cause doesn't seem right, does it?"
Looking at Sun Wukong beside him, Zhu Bajie advised earnestly!
"But now that the Jade Emperor has allowed us to enter the Southern Heavenly Gate, don't we have even less reason to make a move?"
Although he felt Zhu Bajie had a point, Sun Wukong still thought the situation was more troublesome now!
"No worries, from here on, it's all up to you, Monkey Brother!"
Having thought about this earlier, Zhu Bajie responded upon hearing Sun Wukong's words!
If the Jade Emperor hadn't allowed them in, then they could have just made a move!
After all, they were here to reclaim his Golden Body, and no one could say anything about that!
But if the Jade Emperor let them in? Then it would be up to Sun Wukong!
That was the reason Sun Wukong came along!
"Alright, making trouble! Looks like I, Old Sun, have to put in some effort!" Sun Wukong said with a helpless expression upon hearing Zhu Bajie's words!
However, despite his words of helplessness, Sun Wukong had a smile on his face, not looking helpless at all!
Causing trouble? This is precisely what Monkey Brother loves to do, right?
Thus, Zhu Bajie smiled slightly, not saying much more!
After arriving at the Water Mansion, he dove straight in and found his Golden Body in the Heavenly River Water Palace!
Soon, Zhu Bajie left the Water Mansion!
Due to Sun Wukong's lack of swimming prowess, he could only wait above the Heavenly River Water Palace!
"How's it going, Bajie, did you get the Golden Body?" Seeing Zhu Bajie emerge, Sun Wukong asked!
"Rest assured, Monkey Brother, I've got it!" Hearing this, Zhu Bajie nodded earnestly!
"Alright, next let's head to the Lingxiao Hall for a visit!" Hearing this, Sun Wukong nodded and said!
"Go to the Lingxiao Hall? For what?" But upon hearing Sun Wukong's words, Zhu Bajie looked puzzled!
He didn't understand Sun Wukong's intention at all! Why go to the Lingxiao Hall at this time?
"Of course, to see the Jade Emperor!"
Hearing this, Sun Wukong chuckled, saying, "Think about it, the Heavenly Court is closed, yet the Jade Emperor Old Man made an exception and let us in. Shouldn't we thank him?"
"Oh, I see..." Upon hearing Sun Wukong's explanation, Zhu Bajie had an epiphany, indicating his understanding!
Monkey Brother says he wants to thank the Jade Emperor, but really, he's there to cause trouble, isn't he?
In that case, it seems fitting!
"Not bad, not bad, Monkey Brother, we do need to thank the Jade Emperor!"
Now understanding Sun Wukong's intentions, Zhu Bajie nodded in agreement.
Then, the two brothers adjusted their course and headed towards the Lingxiao Hall!
"Great Sage, Marshal, why are you here?"
The Lingxiao Hall was as majestic as ever, but eerily quiet.
As Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie approached, the two Spirit Officials guarding the Lingxiao Hall changed their expressions and asked!
"We two brothers have come to see the Jade Emperor, where is that Jade Emperor Old Man?" Sun Wukong opened his mouth, his demeanor arrogant and domineering.
Since they were here to cause trouble, naturally, they acted as arrogantly as possible!
Sure enough, seeing Sun Wukong's arrogance, the corners of the mouths of the Spirit Officials guarding the Southern Heavenly Gate twitched slightly!
However, given the Heavenly Court had already been beaten into closing, these Spirit Officials naturally dared not say much.
Instead, they lowered their posture, nodded, and bowed, saying, "Great Sage, Marshal, the Heavenly Court is closed now, and ordinarily, there's no need for you to come to the Lingxiao Hall as the immortals are not here, nor does His Majesty usually stay in the Lingxiao Hall!"
"So that's it!" Hearing this, Sun Wukong looked enlightened and nodded.
But then, his expression changed, becoming vicious!
"But the Jade Emperor Old Man knows our two brothers are here, yet he hides and refuses to meet us? Is this looking down on us?"
Since they were here to cause trouble, Sun Wukong's attitude was clear!
If there's trouble, then it's with the Jade Emperor!
If there's no trouble, create some trouble, and target the Jade Emperor!
As for Sun Wukong's antics and stubbornness, let's put those aside for now!
Meanwhile, in the Jade Emperor's sleeping chambers, ever since he allowed Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie to enter the Heavenly Court, he's been sending people to monitor them!
To see what the two are up to!
Soon enough, someone came with a report.
"Your Majesty, Marshal Tianpeng has already retrieved his Golden Body, but the two of them have no intention of leaving the Heavenly Court; instead, they've gone to the Lingxiao Hall and have started arguing with several Spirit Officials there. It seems that the Great Saint wishes to see you!"
"Hmph, just the two of them..."
Upon hearing the report about Sun Wukong, and learning of their arrogant demeanor, the Jade Emperor's face showed anger!
However, recalling that Xuanzang must not be provoked, the Jade Emperor sighed inwardly!
He then stood up and said, "Since that Rascal Monkey wants to see me, I shall go to the Lingxiao Hall to see what he wants!"
"Hmph, this Heavenly Court of yours is truly excessive! I, Old Sun, am the eldest disciple of my master, who is the Ming Sect Hierarch!"
"Today, I, Old Sun, have come to take a trip to this Heavenly Court, yet I can't even see the Jade Emperor?"
"Do you think I, Old Sun, am not qualified to see him?"
Regardless of whether the reasons were sufficient, Sun Wukong insisted on making a big deal out of small matters!
While speaking, with a face full of anger, he took out the Ruyi Golden Cudgel in his hand!
"Great Sage, don't misunderstand, it's not like that!" Seeing Sun Wukong taking out his Golden Cudgel, the faces of the two Spirit Officials guarding the South Heavenly Gate changed dramatically and they hurriedly explained!
"Hmph, if not like this, then like what? I, Old Sun, saw it with my own eyes; how could there be a mistake?" Sun Wukong sneered coldly, muttering under his breath!
While speaking, he raised the Ruyi Golden Cudgel in his hand, and smashed it down fiercely!
"Wukong, stop!"
Just at that moment, a loud shout suddenly rang out!
Suddenly, the space before Sun Wukong expanded a hundredfold!
The speed at which the Golden Cudgel was falling naturally slowed significantly!
Using the power of the Measure Sky Ruler, it blocked Sun Wukong's strike!
Then, the Jade Emperor released the Measure Sky Ruler's ability, looked at Sun Wukong, and said: "Wukong, without reason, why are you throwing a tantrum in my Heavenly Court? You wish to see me? I am here now, speak whatever you need!"
"Jade Emperor Old Man, you came quite quickly, didn't you!" Glancing at the Jade Emperor, Sun Wukong spoke!
Frowning slightly, hearing Sun Wukong's way of addressing him, the Jade Emperor felt a bit irritated!
In fact, the title 'Jade Emperor Old Man' had always been how Sun Wukong called him, and the Jade Emperor could tolerate it!
But for some reason, today, it sounded irritating!
Is it due to changes in status? 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖
Previously, when Sun Wukong called him, with his cultivation level and status, the Jade Emperor wouldn't take his words to heart!
But now, Sun Wukong's cultivation has reached the level of a Quasi-Saint, enough to speak with him on equal terms!
Thus, when he addresses him that way again, does he find it harder to accept?
"What is it, Rascal Monkey, what do you want from me?" The Jade Emperor did not lose his temper, seriously staring at Sun Wukong and asked!
Indeed, seeking the Jade Emperor for some matter? Sun Wukong is just using this as an excuse to make a big fuss and then take action!
Now, the Jade Emperor unexpectedly arrived first, catching Sun Wukong by surprise!
Therefore, facing the Jade Emperor's question, what matter? Sun Wukong didn't know how to answer for a moment!
"Jade Emperor!"
At that moment, Zhu Bajie spoke up, taking two steps forward!
The Jade Emperor shifted his gaze from Sun Wukong to Zhu Bajie!
Looking at Zhu Bajie, the Jade Emperor was secretly amazed; how many years has it been? The reincarnated Zhu Bajie's cultivation is nearing the Great Luo Peak?
Over these years, how have these brothers been cultivating?
Could it be because they are the core figures of the Journey to the West for Scriptures, blessed with destiny, thus advancing rapidly in cultivation?
"Jade Emperor, the two of us brothers came here because we have questions to ask you!"
Regardless of the Jade Emperor's inner thoughts, Zhu Bajie stared at the Jade Emperor, saying: "My Gold Body, originally kept well in the Heavenly River Water Palace, why is it damaged now!"
"Damaged? How could that be?" The Jade Emperor glanced at Zhu Bajie, shaking his head!
"When my Gold Body was stolen years ago, I found it myself!"
"Now, my Gold Body is damaged! Shouldn't you give me an explanation?" Zhu Bajie spoke, staring at the Jade Emperor!
While speaking, he raised his hand, taking out the Golden Body!
Zhu Bajie's Golden Body appeared as a handsome man full of martial spirit!
However, one of this Golden Body's arms was broken!
