Sun Wukong went down to the lower world and became the Demon King again. Unsatisfied with being humiliated in heaven, he directly raised the banner of the Monkey King on Mount Huaguo.
Not only that, several of his sworn brothers also took up the title of Great Sage one after another. In a short time, the names of the Seven Great Sages of the Demon Clan spread throughout most of the Earthly Immortal Realm, attracting the attention of all forces and making them famous.
.
This move naturally aroused a reaction from the Heavenly Court. The Emperor of Heaven immediately sent 100,000 troops, led by Li Jing, to attack Huaguo Mountain, vowing to capture the monster monkey.
Li Jing is not stupid either. The Huaguo Mountain Demon Monkey is not difficult to deal with, but his sworn brothers are all famous and powerful demon kings in the Earthly Immortal World, and they are also closely related to Emperor Gou Chen. This matter cannot be dealt with by one person.
Well, both the Emperor of Heaven and Emperor Gouchen had to be offended by him.
Because of this, Li Jing seemed to be mobilizing his troops to fight the monsters in Huaguo Mountain, but in fact, the two sides had a tacit understanding and did not make many deadly attacks.
After a few rounds of back-and-forth between the two sides, Li Jing immediately called for gold and retreated his troops, returning to heaven to resume his life.
What happened next was a matter of course. The Emperor of Heaven also knew that the Bull Demon King and other demon kings were involved in this matter. If it was not handled well, it might lead to Emperor Chen being the one behind them.
In order to prevent Emperor Gouchen from finding an excuse to show up and remain in seclusion in the East China Sea Dojo safely, the Emperor accepted Taibai Jinxing's suggestion and consecrated Sun Wukong as the Monkey King. He also ordered him to take care of Pantaoyuan, which was considered a temporary peace
about this matter.
Lin Nuo didn't care much about Sun Wukong's experience, because he had been staying in Taichu Dojo and received an invitation letter from the Queen Mother.
An invitation to attend the Peach Festival.
Although Lin Nuo had given Wukong the system and changed some of his life trajectories, he had not specifically intervened in the main plot. What he was waiting for was the Peach Festival.
He knew very well that this peach event was indispensable for Sun Wukong to achieve such great fame in the future.
Without eating the peaches and stealing the golden elixir from Taishang Laojun during this grand event, it would probably have taken quite some time for Sun Wukong to break through to the Golden Immortal realm.
He, Lin Nuo, has been in this Journey to the West plane for tens of thousands of years, and he really has no intention of waiting indefinitely.
Another point is that the reason why Lin Nuo did not change the direction of the plot on a large scale before was because he could meet the so-called Taishang Laojun at this peach event.
This Taishang Laojun who is ranked among the Three Pure Ones is so mysterious that Lin Nuo has never seen him even after he became Emperor Gouchen. This peach event is one of the few scenes in which Taishang Laojun appears.
.
And he also needs to get a good feel for the details of this old gentleman in this grand event. Only in this way can Lin Nuo determine the next plan, whether to unite with Buddha to destroy Dao, or to unite with Dao to destroy Buddha!
...
The Peach Festival is a grand event hosted by the Queen Mother. The Emperor of Heaven will also attend at the same time. The banquet guests are all famous immortals and gods from the three realms, including the four emperors, the five elders of the five directions, various star kings, Bodhisattvas, and even powerful people from the underworld.
Participants also participated.
The grand event was still being prepared, and many immortals and gods had already started to leave after receiving the invitations. Lin Nuo wanted to meet the Supreme Lord, so he did not hesitate at that moment. After asking him to take a look at the dojo, he moved away.
Rush towards heaven.
A few moved and entered the Nantian Gate and entered the heaven.
The appearance of the Great Emperor was extraordinary. The auspicious aura in the sky was immediately felt. Golden dragons, fire and phoenixes were flying, and golden lotuses took root in the void, forming a golden lotus avenue, which spread across Lin Nuo's body.
forward.
With a smile on his face, Lin Nuo glanced at the countless heavenly soldiers bowing in darkness at the Nantian Gate, then took a step forward, strolled on the golden lotus, and walked towards the end of the Golden Lotus Avenue.
The end of this road is not the Lingxiao Palace. Today is the opening day of the Peach Festival. It is a grand gathering of all the immortals. It is not suitable to gather in a solemn and solemn place like the Lingxiao Palace.
At the end of the Golden Lotus Road is the main hall called the Pixiang Hall, which is where the Emperor usually handles official business and summons his ministers. When Lin Nuo entered the main hall, he found that many immortals had gathered in the hall. At this time, they were in groups of twos and threes.
Either standing or sitting, drinking tea and talking about Taoism, or chatting and reminiscing about the past.
When they saw Lin Nuo arriving, all the immortals stood up one after another. The Emperor of Heaven, who was talking to Emperor Ziwei, waved to him again and again.
"Gou Chen, you haven't shown up for some time. The peach banquet starts in half a day, so let's sit here for a while!"
Lin Nuo nodded, took a step forward, and sat directly on the left side below the Emperor of Heaven. He smiled and said: "I like purity of nature. If this was not a peach event, I probably wouldn't have left the dojo!"
Emperor Ziwei on the side nodded and said with a smile: "We all know Gouchen that you like Qingxiu, but after all, this Peach Festival is the first one held after the establishment of the Earthly Immortal Realm. It is of great significance. I hope you will forgive me for disturbing me!"
Lin Nuo smiled and didn't answer. Through the system talismans in Sun Wukong's mind, he already knew that the monkey had already eaten the flat peach and drank the royal wine, and was rushing drunkenly to the palace of Tushita outside the Thirty-three days.
, it seems that the mysterious and unusual Taishang Laojun will appear soon.
Sure enough, after chatting with the Emperor of Heaven and others for half an hour, the Queen Mother, dressed in a phoenix robe and a rosy crown, walked into the hall with an angry look on her face.
"Your Majesty, the Great Sage Qitian whom you canonized secretly ate fairy peaches and drank royal wine, disrupting the normal holding of this peach feast. I hope Your Majesty will issue an order to capture the monster monkey!"
When the Emperor of Heaven heard this, his expression immediately turned cold. Today's grand gathering saw all the immortals and gods gathered together, and even the Four Emperors were sitting in charge. He never expected that there would be such a bold person who would dare to cause trouble today!
At this moment, four marshals walked into the hall, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, there is someone who claims to be the Supreme Taoist Patriarch and requests to see Your Majesty!"
"What?"
At this time, the Emperor of Heaven could no longer sit still. If the monster monkey disrupted the peach feast before, it would only make him feel humiliated, but now the arrival of Taishang Daozu made his heart sink.
The Emperor of Heaven stood up suddenly, walked out of the hall with the Queen Mother, the Four Emperors and other senior officials of the Heavenly Court, and greeted the Supreme Taoist Patriarch outside the hall.
"Old Lord, you have been meditating in Tushita Palace since the establishment of the Heavenly Palace. I don't know when today happened, but I am asking you to take advantage of me?"
The Emperor's smile was very hearty, but for some reason, Lin Nuo actually sensed a hint of awe in it.
The Taishang Laojun in front of me has fair hair and a peaceful face. He is wearing a Bagua Taoist robe without any ornaments. He seems to have no desires and desires, and seems to be gone with the wind at any time.
But after Lin Nuo looked at it for a few times, his eyes suddenly condensed, his pupils shrank slightly, and his whole person became serious.
No wonder the Emperor of Heaven had such a reaction to the arrival of the so-called Taishang Laojun. The old man in front of him was no Taishang Taoist. He was simply the incarnation of the will of the universe. Those with low cultivation levels might not be able to feel the majestic aura like the way of heaven.
It's obvious, but as Lin Nuo, who has an inner universe, the feeling couldn't be clearer.
