The remaining half of Heaven, although Haotian is the master of the two realms of lust for twenty-four days, in reality is just fish and meat to be slaughtered by other saints!
As for Saint Taiqing, Empress Nuwa, and Taibai Jinxing who are openly helping Haotian now, they can all see that Haotian is just a chess piece in the hands of Saint Taiqing and Empress Nuwa, one used to contain Saint Yuqing Yuanshi.
Sage Tongtian of the Shangqing Dynasty is just a chess piece of two Western saints!
So under this situation, how can heaven compare with the underworld and the underworld?
Of course, Taibai Jinxing would not say anything about the fact that heaven is not comparable to the underworld. After all, he works in heaven and is here to recruit Sun Wukong.
In front of Sun Wukong, he said that heaven is not as good as the underworld. This is not good!
Sun Wukong noticed that Taibai Jinxing was changing the subject, so he grabbed the other person's beard and asked:
"Old man, don't change the subject. What I'm asking is who is stronger or weaker, heaven or hell?"
Taibai Jinxing took back his beard and smiled at Sun Wukong:
"King Sun, it's hard to say which one is stronger between heaven and underworld!
You must know that heaven and the underworld have always been on equal footing and have never fought each other, so it is hard to tell the difference between the strong and the weak!"
Taibai Jinxing has been in heaven for many years, and he still has the ability to deal with people and knows how to answer.
Seeing that Taibai Jinxing did not answer his question, Sun Wukong said again:
"What if one day, heaven and hell go to war?"
"Ha ha!"
Taibai Jinxing laughed loudly and said with a smile:
"Don't worry, King Sun. Heaven and the underworld each perform their duties to maintain order in the wild, so there will never be a war!
Once there is a war between the underworld and heaven, there will be great chaos in the ancient world, and all living beings will be affected, so it is impossible to start a war!"
This time Taibai Jinxing did not talk nonsense, because the underworld and half of the heaven belong to Houtu, so how could there be a war?
And the saints will not let the order of the ancient world be disordered, so it is impossible for heaven and the underworld to go to war!
In order to prevent Sun Wukong from asking this question, Taibai Jinxing changed the subject and asked:
"I wonder how many years have passed since your Majesty attained enlightenment?"
Taibai Jinxing now plans to explore the details of Sun Wukong and see which saint is behind this monkey!
"hey-hey!"
Sun Wukong smiled proudly:
"If you think about it, it doesn't take many years. It's only been a few years since I first came into contact with spiritual practice!"
Sun Wukong was right, it was indeed only a few years.
Although it took Sun Wukong twenty years to seek enlightenment, he spent ten years floating on the sea and seven years as a sweeper.
Therefore, attaining Taoism began when Sun Wukong came into contact with spiritual practice. Sun Wukong practiced at Lingtai Fangcun Mountain for three years. After returning, he first defeated the Demon King, then retrieved the treasure from the Dragon Palace, and finally died and caused havoc in the underworld. The total is less than ten years!
A few years after Sun Wukong attained Taoism, he had already become a golden immortal. At this moment, Taibai Jinxing was even more sure that the other party had become a disciple of the sage, so he asked:
"I wonder, Your Majesty, what teachings do you inherit?"
To create a golden immortal in a few years, and to be able to give face to the dragon clan and the underworld, Taibai Jinxing really can't think of any other situation besides the sage cult.
"..."
When Sun Wukong heard Taibai Jinxing ask about the religious tradition of his master, he was suddenly shocked, and then said quickly:
"Without religious tradition, there is no school or sect!"
Although Sun Wukong is usually very carefree, he has always been tight-lipped about his master's religious tradition and has not told anyone about it.
Even for those monkeys and monkeys, he just told them that he did not find the Bodhi Patriarch, but found other immortals.
Sun Wukong's move not only failed to dispel Taibaijinxing's suspicion, but made Taibaijinxing even more convinced that Sun Wukong was a disciple of the Sage Cult.
After all, if Sun Wukong mixes with those monsters, it will easily affect the reputation of the sect's religious tradition. It is indeed better not to mention the sect's religious tradition!
In fact, at this moment, Taibai Jinxing seriously suspected that Sun Wukong was a disciple of the Jie Cult, and the saint behind it was the leader of the Shangqing Tongtian Cult.
There are reasons why Taibaijinxing suspects that Sun Wukong is a disciple of the Jie Jiao. First, the Huaguo Mountain is on the East China Sea, and the Penglai Islands, the base camp of the Jie Jiao, is also on the East China Sea.
Although Huaguo Mountain is some distance away from the Penglai Islands, if there is a great opportunity, it can still reach the Penglai Islands.
Secondly, the teachings of Jie Jiao teach that there is no distinction between religions. No matter what kind of creature they are, as long as they can reach the Penglai Islands and coincide with the sermon of Lord Tongtian, there is basically a chance that they will become disciples of Jie Jiao!
The third is to exclude the Penglai Islands. Compared with other saints’ dojos, they are basically far away from Huaguo Mountain. It is not easy for Sun Wukong to reach the locations of other saints’ dojos!
The dojo of Holy Bear Xiaobai is in the Holy Bear Palace of Daluotian. Under the Daluo Jinxian, he went to Daluotian to escape death.
Empress Nuwa’s dojo is in Emperor Wa’s Tianwa Palace. As for Empress Houtu, I heard she is also in the Holy Bear Palace!
These three saints and Hunyuan Daluo’s dojos are all in the sky, so they can be eliminated directly!
The only ones left are the Bajing Palace in Shouyang Mountain, the Yuxu Palace in Kunlun Ruins, and the top of Lingshan Mountain in the West.
Even if Sun Wukong had the opportunity to reach the Bajing Palace of Shouyang Mountain and the Yuxu Palace of Kunlun Ruins, with a height of less than four feet and a rough face and a thunderous mouth, Saints Taiqing and Yuqing would definitely not accept him! As for the top of Lingshan Mountain in the West, Taibai
Venus thinks that it can actually be ruled out because it is too far away and cannot be reached by Sun Wukong.
Combining these reasons, Taibaijinxing can basically confirm that Sun Wukong is a disciple of Jie Jiao and has become a disciple of Sage Shangqing!
Unfortunately, Taibai Jinxing's guess was wrong. Sun Wukong was indeed a disciple of a saint, but not a disciple of the Shangqing Jiejiao sect!
Sun Wukong thought about what Taibai Jinxing said before, and he probably guessed that the strength of heaven may not be as strong as that of the underworld, but the heaven and the underworld each perform their own duties, and they do not interfere with each other.
After Sun Wukong understood the situation, he asked Taibai Jinxing:
"Old man, what's the benefit of becoming an official in heaven?"
Sun Wukong also wants to go to heaven to see it. After all, he has been in Huaguo Mountain for hundreds of years and is a little tired of Huaguo Mountain!
You must know that after Sun Wukong returned from studying arts, he often visited the caves of other demon kings. The main reason was to go out and see the outside world.
Although Sun Wukong is now very interested in the Heavenly Court, he does not want to work and manage affairs in vain. You must know that the officials of the human kingdom are all paid.
"Hahaha!"
Seeing Sun Wukong like this, Taibai Jinxing laughed loudly and whisked his beard and said:
"Your Majesty, if you go to heaven to serve as an official, you will become a god and no longer a monster!
With a low status as a demon, he is not favored by heaven and earth, but with a noble status as a god, he is protected by heaven and earth and enjoys the worship of all living beings!
The important thing is that after going to Heaven as an official, you can live in peace in Heaven. The abundance of spiritual energy in Heaven cannot be compared with this lower world!
One day of practicing in the heaven is worth thousands of days of practicing in the mortal world. In addition, if you are an official in the heaven, you can get the divine salary, and you can have fairy fruits and nectar for food and drink!"
Even though Taibaijinxing said the situation in Heaven is very good, in fact the treatment in Heaven is just like that, much worse than those under the Sage Religious Tradition!
Although Heavenly Court's spiritual energy is abundant, it is only a drop in the bucket compared to the saint's dojo. You must know that under the saint's dojo, several spiritual veins are basically suppressed and the spiritual energy is absorbed to provide training for the disciples below.
Overall, the real situation in heaven can attract ordinary people.
Anyway, I have some background. People who know the situation look down on heaven and are unwilling to go to heaven to become a god!
Sun Wukong, an ignorant monkey, became even more excited under the deception of Taibai Jinxing, so he said:
"Old man, is heaven really so good?"
Taibai Jinxing saw that Sun Wukong had taken the bait, so he said:
"Your Majesty, Heaven is a secret realm created by heaven and earth, and it has been arranged by the supreme power. It is far beyond what you, Your Majesty, can imagine!"
The supreme power that Taibai Jinxing talks about is the two gatekeeper beasts of Holy Bear Xiaobai.
The first people to discover Heaven were Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi. They used the Hetu Luoshu and the Chaos Clock to use their great magical powers to create the countless scenic spots in Heaven.
It's a pity that the heaven is still there, but the master has changed!
After hearing this, Sun Wukong was immediately overjoyed. He grabbed Taibai Jinxing's hand and said:
"Old man, if that's the case, I will make you an official in heaven!"
Seeing Sun Wukong's impatience, Taibai Jinxing nodded, and then Sun Wukong rose into the clouds and left Huaguo Mountain!
Taibai Jinxing and Sun Wukong traveled all the way on the clouds. When they arrived at the Nantian Gate, they asked the heavenly soldiers and generals to check their identities as usual.
Although Sun Wukong is only a demon immortal now and is not qualified to enter the Nantianmen, but because it was brought by Taibai Venus, the heavenly soldiers and generals did not stop him too much.
After Taibai Jinxing took Sun Wukong into the heaven, he said to him:
"King Sun must remember that after becoming an official in heaven, he cannot call himself king, otherwise it will easily offend the emperor's authority and make the gods unhappy!"
Although Taibaijinxing could confirm that Sun Wukong was a saint, he still reminded the other party of the rules.
Although Haotian is helpless as a member of the Sage Religion, Sun Wukong is not the only member of the Sage Religion in Heaven.
Basically, all sage sects have disciples who serve as officials in heaven, so if Sun Wukong is not sensible, he is likely to get into trouble with other sage sects.
You must know that Sun Wukong is just a golden immortal, and there are too many masters from other saints and sects.
In particular, Mahayana Buddhism is the most powerful sect. Not to mention the powerful Nine Infants of the late quasi-sage, there are also three Shura Demon Kings, White Tiger, Suzaku, and Qinglong. There are too many masters!
The lineage of Taiqing saints is also extremely powerful. Let’s not talk about the saint Shanshi Taishang Laojun, let’s just say that Zhenwu and Tianpeng are not good friends!
Therefore, the status of being a member of the saint's religious tradition actually serves as a deterrent to those who do not have the backing of a saint.
After all, everyone has a saint's backing, so naturally they won't have any scruples.
You must know that in the Battle of the Gods, the disciples of the Sage Cult will take great action!
Therefore, Taibai Jinxing was afraid that Sun Wukong would offend those masters because he didn’t know the heights of the sky, so he was punished!
Now Taibai Jinxing plans to make friends with Sun Wukong in preparation for changing jobs in the future, so he doesn't want anything to happen to Sun Wukong!
"Old man Taibai, it's easy to talk to!"
After Sun Wukong responded to Taibai Jinxing, he began to look at the heaven. At this moment, he was fascinated by the grand scene of the heaven.
Then Sun Wukong looked at the two ladders. He stepped on the ladder that went up without seeing the front end. At this time, Taibai Jinxing quickly stopped him and said:
"Fellow Daoist Sun, you are on the wrong path. Over there is the ladder leading directly to the four heavens of the Formless Realm and the Four Brahma Heavens. We must not step there without any reason!"
Heaven was divided into two parts many years ago. Heaven has thirty-two heavens, Yaochi manages the eighth heaven, and the Haotian Yaoji brothers and sisters govern the twenty-fourth heaven.
In order to facilitate the immortals and gods on either side of Yaochi to enter and exit the Tianmen, straight ladders were built at the four Tianmen.
Building this exclusive ladder is good for both Yaochi and Haotian. Otherwise, if the immortals over Yaochi pass by Haotian's Lingxiao Palace or Jade Palace every day, Haotian would be embarrassed!
"???"
Sun Wukong looked confused, and then Taibai Jinxing explained:
"Fellow Daoist Sun, there are two emperors in heaven, one is the Empress of Jiutian Yaochi, and the other is the Jade Emperor of Haotian, Emperor Jinque!
The Empress of Yaochi is in charge of the four heavens of the Formless Realm and the four Brahma heavens, a total of eight heavens!
Emperor Haotian is in charge of the eighteenth heaven of the color realm and the sixth heaven of the desire realm, a total of twenty-four heavens!"
The reason why Taibai Jinxing wants to change jobs is because the water in heaven is too deep and the forces are complicated.
Although on the surface it seems like there is no problem and the gods are doing their own job, in reality the problem is much bigger.
Just like the gods of the finance department among the eight righteous gods, the marriage department of Yue Lao started fighting, so that all the marriages in the world were messed up.
Sun Wukong probably understood what Taibai Jinxing meant now, so he said:
"Taibai old man, that means there are two sides in this heaven. The one who invited me to be an official in heaven is the Haotian Jade Emperor Jinque Emperor!"
Facing Sun Wukong’s inquiry, Taibai Jinxing nodded and said:
"Exactly!"
This is Sun Wukong grabbing the white beard of Taibai Jinxing again and saying:
"Then Emperor Haotian really loves talents, so he recruited me as an official?"
General Taibai Jinxing opened Sun Wukong's monkey's paw and said:
"Fellow Daoist Sun, it was the poor Taoist who recommended you to the Emperor of Heaven. Therefore, the Emperor of Heaven loves talents and ordered you to be recruited!"
Taibai Jinxing now plans to curry favor with Sun Wukong, so he takes the credit for himself.
Moreover, Taibai Jinxing felt that he was not talking nonsense. After all, Haotian originally wanted to attack Huaguo Mountain, and it was Taibai Jinxing who suggested the recruitment.
When Sun Wukong heard this, he suddenly realized that he subconsciously wanted to scratch Taibai Jinxing's beard again, but he resisted and then laughed:
"It turns out you are Taibai old man. Don't worry, when my old grandson becomes prosperous in the future, I will definitely promote you more!"
Upon seeing this, Taibai Jinxing nodded with satisfaction, feeling that there was a chance that he would change jobs in the future, and that he might even leave Heaven and become a disciple of a saint.
So Taibai Jinxing then took Sun Wukong to ride the clouds to the Lingxiao Palace. With Sun Wukong's arrival, Haotian held a court meeting again, and the gods who were eating melons came immediately.
Outside the Lingxiao Palace, Sun Wukong entered the Lingxiao Palace without waiting for Haotian to announce the edict, and Taibai Jinxing followed him on his face.
Taibai Jinxing bowed to Haotian and saluted, but Sun Wukong stood beside him and had no intention of saluting.
The gods who knew the details of Sun Wukong secretly looked at Sun Wukong.
The gods of Chanjiao glanced at Sun Wukong and secretly criticized:
"This monkey with the Golden Immortal cultivation level is actually a direct disciple of the saint. Fortunately, I did not teach him. I can't afford to lose face like this!"
