Others follow advice and imitate celebrities, but you start by pretending to be a god?

Their duties are more similar to those of the etiquette department in the human world, responsible for teaching the immortals in heaven some etiquette.

At the same time, they also serve the Jade Emperor and manage the etiquette of other immortals.

At this moment, seeing Lin Nan and Little White Dragon coming together, the two Heavenly Masters of the Tongming Palace were greatly surprised. They looked at each other and secretly wondered, "Why is it him? And not the compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva from the South Sea?"

The two heavenly masters were full of doubts because the news they received was that the person they were going to welcome was Guanyin Bodhisattva, but it was Lin Nan who came instead.

“Please inform the two senior brothers for me.” Lin Nan bowed to the two Heavenly Masters and said, “When I was in the lower world, I saw this little white dragon and found him miraculous, so I accepted him into my sect. However, I never thought that he was under the punishment of the Jade Emperor, so I came to the heaven this time to ask for an audience with the Jade Emperor.”

The two Heavenly Masters responded politely and hurried to inform the Jade Emperor.

They did not treat Lin Nan with any disrespect, and even now they did not know which generation of Heavenly Master Lin Nan's inheritance came from.

However, Lin Nan had been given elixirs by the Jade Emperor many times in heaven, and there had even been a boy who came down to the mortal world to congratulate him. He had also been personally received by the Jade Emperor in the Tushita Palace. These rumors had long been spread among the heavenly masters in heaven.

Even the name "Daozi" is not unfamiliar to them.

Therefore, it is no wonder that these two heavenly masters are so solemn.

Soon, they reported back, "The Jade Emperor wants to see you. Junior Brother Lin Nan, please follow us to meet him."

Lin Nan looked at Xiao Bailong and motioned him to go with him.

Afterwards, they entered the Lingxiao Palace, and Lin Nan met the Jade Emperor again.

At this time, at the foot of Lingshan Mountain, the roller curtain will be discarded there.

Guanyin went to Lingshan Mountain to pay homage to Buddha.

"Buddha." Guanyin stepped up the stairs and walked in front of Tathagata, saying, "In front of the Flowing Sand River, I met Lin Nan, the great master of Chechi Kingdom."

"He will kill innocent people because he has devoured them."

Guanyin clasped his hands together and bowed, saying, "If I hadn't taken the curtain away, I'm afraid he would have died."

As she spoke, Guanyin raised her head and asked with doubt in her eyes: "Why... is Lin Nan so decisive?"

"Isn't it said that this is the time for the great prosperity of our Buddhist sect, and anyone who violates it will be punished by heaven?"

"But why is Lin Nan still acting like this..." Guanyin didn't understand this, so she asked Tathagata.

Tathagata sat there, shook his head slightly, and a trace of solemnity appeared on his usually calm and peaceful face: "I have vaguely known the reason."

"What?" Guanyin Bodhisattva asked softly, with a hint of doubt between his brows.

"Lin Nan, he's a little special." A voice sounded slowly, and seemed to be filled with some indescribable meaning for Lin Nan.

The Tathagata Buddha said in a deep voice: "There are fifty great ways, and forty-nine heavenly evolutions. Everything in the world has a trace of unpredictable variables."

He paused and continued, "Now, the way of heaven has shown that Buddhism should flourish. This is the general trend. Therefore, our Buddhist sect has carefully planned the journey to the West, and even the immortals in the heavenly court have to cooperate."

"However, Lin Nan's appearance was completely unexpected to us." The Buddha's gaze was deep, as if it could penetrate the mist of time and space. "He is the one who escaped, and he is the biggest uncertainty in this world."

"Because of this, he can act recklessly without suffering any punishment from Heaven." The Tathagata Buddha said with a hint of helplessness, "He is already outside the secrets of Heaven, so how can he be restricted by them?"

When Guanyin heard this, she suddenly understood. Lin Nan's special behavior was indeed consistent with this sign. She couldn't help but ask, "Buddha, how should we deal with it?"

"Don't we have any way to check Lin Nan?" Guanyin Bodhisattva's tone revealed a hint of worry, "If we let him continue, I'm afraid more trouble will arise."

The Tathagata Buddha sat on the lotus platform, pondered for a moment and then slowly said: "Of course we can't let him do this. However, Lin Nan has now been called the 'Taozi' by the Supreme Lord Laojun. Everyone in the Heavenly Court knows it, and all the immortals and gods are respected. We can't act rashly."

He looked into the distance, as if he could see through the endless void. "I observed Lin Nan's whereabouts. He seemed to be heading towards the Tang Dynasty in the East."

"Guanyin." Buddha called softly.

"I am here." Guanyin Bodhisattva replied, waiting for the instructions of Tathagata Buddha.

"You go to the Tang Dynasty in the East and try to target Lin Nan's Dao heart." The voice of Tathagata Buddha revealed a hint of determination, "Since he is acting with the Dao heart, we should start from there and defeat him."

"Yes, I understand." Guanyin Bodhisattva nodded, with an idea in mind.

After Tathagata Buddha finished speaking, he frowned slightly, raised his hand and pinched it, with a strange look on his face, "This Lin Nan..."

Seeing this, Guanyin Bodhisattva hurriedly asked, "Buddha, is there anything wrong?"

The Tathagata Buddha seemed to sigh softly and said, "The little white dragon that was supposed to be the mount for the pilgrim has been intercepted by Lin Nan."

"What?" Guanyin Bodhisattva was shocked when he heard this.

At this time, Lin Nan had not yet arrived at the Lingxiao Palace, but the Jade Emperor had already come down to the palace to greet him personally.

This was because the news that Lin Nan had met Taishang Laojun and was personally named "Taozi" spread widely in the Heavenly Court.

Even though Lin Nan's rank as an immortal official was still low, the Jade Emperor did not dare to look down on him, but treated him with grand etiquette.

"My dear, there is no need to be so polite." The Jade Emperor smiled and his tone was somewhat cordial.

Seeing the friendly attitude of the Jade Emperor, Lin Nan said directly: "I originally intended to travel eastwards, and on the way I came across Ao Gui's son being hung up. Thinking of my friendship with the Four Seas Dragon Kings, I rescued him. Now, he is willing to become my disciple and serve as a helper."

As he spoke, Lin Nan cupped his hands and said, "Therefore, I have come to the Heavenly Palace to plead with Your Majesty to spare his life and give him to me."

The Jade Emperor heard this and pondered for a moment, his eyes swept over the little white dragon. He thought to himself that this little white dragon should have been the mount of the pilgrim, and this matter had been properly communicated with the Buddhist sect.

If not, how could he sentence the West Sea Dragon King's legitimate prince to death over such a trivial matter?

In the final analysis, the dragon clan is just a pawn in this bigger game.

What surprised the Jade Emperor was that it was Lin Nan who came with the little white dragon, not Guanyin Bodhisattva.

This made him ponder for a moment and weigh the pros and cons in his mind.

After a long time, the Jade Emperor finally made up his mind and said with a smile: "Since you want to accept him as your disciple, it will be his honor. In this case, I will help you and give you this little white dragon." As he said that, the Jade Emperor called the gods and issued a decree to pardon the little white dragon's sins.

Upon hearing this, the little white dragon immediately thanked the Jade Emperor.

However, when facing the little white dragon, the Jade Emperor regained his majesty as the Jade Emperor and lost the kindness he had when facing Lin Nan.

“Now that you have become a disciple of Lord Lin Nan, you must serve him well in the future and not cause trouble. This is a blessing for you and for the West Sea as well.” The Jade Emperor’s voice was filled with unquestionable majesty.

"Xiaolong knows!" Xiaobailong answered respectfully, then stood behind Lin Nan, following closely and respectfully.

"Thank you, Jade Emperor, for your help." Lin Nan also thanked the Jade Emperor. After the two exchanged a few pleasantries, Lin Nan said goodbye and left.

"This is the demeanor of Daozi!" Looking at Lin Nan's departing back, the Jade Emperor took a long time to look away.

After a moment, the Jade Emperor suddenly sighed: "This Lin Nan actually dared to confront the Buddhist sect in this way. He is indeed a Taoist! The Buddhist sect has its disciples seeking scriptures, and the Taoist sect has its disciples traveling east. Haha, wonderful!"

The Jade Emperor laughed heartily, and seemed quite satisfied with the current situation. It was like a snipe and a clam fighting each other, and he was watching the fight from the sidelines, enjoying it.

No matter how fiercely the fight between the two was going on, the Jade Emperor didn't care. On the contrary, he was more like a spectator watching the fun, and the more he watched, the more excited he became, and his heart was filled with amusement.

Therefore, the Jade Emperor agreed to Lin Nan's request without any hesitation and gave him the Little White Dragon.

Not long after the Jade Emperor returned to Lingxiao Palace, he received news: Guanyin, the Bodhisattva of the South China Sea, came to see him.

The Jade Emperor came out of the hall again to greet him and asked, "Why did the Bodhisattva come to Heaven?"

"Your Majesty," Guanyin Bodhisattva called softly, "Has the Jade Dragon in the West Sea been pardoned by Your Majesty?"

"That's right." The Jade Emperor nodded and replied, "Lord Lin Nan brought the Jade Dragon to plead for him, and I have taken him as my mount. I pardoned him and let him follow Lin Nan. Now, they should have just left the Heavenly Palace not long ago."

Upon hearing this, Guanyin Bodhisattva couldn't help but sigh: "After all, it's still a step too late."

After sighing, Guanyin Bodhisattva asked the Jade Emperor: "If so, Your Majesty, do you know which dragon in the dragon clan can serve as a mount for the pilgrim?"

This is the purpose of Guanyin Bodhisattva's trip. Since Little White Dragon has been intercepted by Lin Nan, the Buddhist sect will naturally find another mount for the pilgrim, that is, to find another dragon to replace Little White Dragon Ao Yu.

The Jade Emperor pondered for a moment and said, "How about the Bodhisattva go to the four seas to ask?"

At this time, the little white dragon had already carried Lin Nan out of the South Heaven Gate. He transformed into his true form and took the initiative to let Lin Nan ride the dragon, rushing towards the east.

Lin Nan asked the little white dragon to fly lower so that he could ride the dragon and enjoy the scenery along the way. Before long, a mountain appeared in front of them, with golden light and auspicious aura.

"Is this... Five Elements Mountain?" Lin Nan recognized the peculiarity of this mountain at a glance.

"Five Elements Mountain? Could it be the place where the Buddha from the West suppressed the Monkey King?" Upon hearing this, the little white dragon couldn't help but ask curiously.

As a member of the dragon clan, he was no stranger to the Monkey King Sun Wukong. When Sun Wukong caused chaos in the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea, causing unrest in the world, Xiao Bailong naturally heard about it.

"Okay, let's go down and take a look." Lin Nan nodded and said.

The little white dragon immediately let out a dragon roar and then flew down.

Clouds and mists swirled around him, protecting him. On the mountain, there was a seal with six large characters written on it: "Om Ma Ni Pa Mi Hum", which were the six-character mantra of Buddhism.

Just the seal alone exuded a strong Buddhist atmosphere. Lin Nan just glanced at it and prepared to leave without staying for long.

However, Sun Wukong at the foot of the mountain heard the dragon's roar and shouted in advance: "Who is the dragon clan up there? Come down and see me!"

Hearing this, Xiao Bailong looked at Lin Nan. Lin Nan was also somewhat curious about Sun Wukong, so he said, "Since he called, let's go down and take a look."

As he spoke, Lin Nan rode the dragon down the mountain and headed down to search.

However, before they saw Sun Wukong, they first met the local mountain gods and the heavenly general who was responsible for imprisoning Sun Wukong.

"Stop! Who are you?" a majestic voice sounded.

Before Lin Nan could answer, Little White Dragon spoke first, "This is the Grand Master of Chechi Nation, the Heavenly Court's Taiji Zhenyi Immortal Lord, the Divine Sky Jade Pivot and the Judge of the Northern and Southern Departments, the Grand Master Lin Nan!"

He introduced it with pride, not feeling inferior at all because of his status as a mount.

This is not because the dragon race is becoming increasingly corrupt, but because the little white dragon is well aware of the noble status of Lin Nan.

The contemporary Taoist disciple personally succeeded by the Taoist Ancestor!
Once the golden elixir is formed, one will become a supreme celestial being of the ninth grade, shocking the heaven and earth!
Therefore, as Lin Nan's mount, Xiaobailong was not embarrassed at all, but felt a little proud.

"The Grand Master of Chechi Kingdom?" The mountain gods, land gods, and heavenly generals were all shocked when they heard it.

Although they didn't know Lin Nan, they were familiar with the name.

In recent years, the most famous person in the Heavenly Court is "Lin Nan, the Grand Master of Chechi State". Some of his deeds are widely circulated among the gods on earth.

When everyone heard that the person coming was Lin Nan, they all rushed forward and greeted him, saying, "Greetings, Master Lin Nan."

Lin Nan raised his hand slightly, indicating that there was no need for courtesy, and then asked, "Is the once famous Monkey King Sun Wukong imprisoned under this mountain?"

"That's right." The mountain gods, land gods and heavenly generals responded. They already understood Lin Nan's intention, so they took the initiative to lead him down the mountain to the place where Sun Wukong was imprisoned.

Sun Wukong was pinned under the mountain, unable to move, except for his tongue. He looked up and saw Lin Nan and Little White Dragon coming together. He was full of doubts and asked, "Little Dragon, which of the four seas are you from?"

The little white dragon replied respectfully: "I am Ao Yu, the third prince of Ao Run, the Dragon King of the West Sea."

When Sun Wukong heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes: "From the West Sea? Could it be that you have come here specially to visit me?" He had been lonely at the foot of this mountain for hundreds of years, and he never thought that the dragons from the West Sea would come to visit him.

However, the little white dragon shook his head and said, "No, I came here with my master on a trip to the east. I saw that the Five Elements Mountain was quite strange, so I came to check it out. Then I heard the Great Sage calling me, so I came down to find out what it was."

"Master?" Sun Wukong was stunned, and then he noticed Lin Nan standing next to him, and couldn't help feeling a little curious.

He then asked: "Since you are the third prince of the Dragon King of the West Sea, why do you call this man 'Master'? Who exactly are you, Master?" As he spoke, Sun Wukong looked at Lin Nan carefully.

Xiao Bailong replied: "My master is the great master of Chechi State, and his Taoist name is Lin Nan." (End of this chapter)
