Journey to the West: Man in heaven, working nine to five

The Jade Emperor was also suffering in his heart.

In terms of strength, the Jade Emperor overwhelmed the Four Sovereigns.

After all, the Jade Emperor had a higher status and had lived longer.

Because the Jade Emperor was a pageboy beside the Taoist Ancestor Hongjun, and with the Taoist Ancestor's guidance, his strength was the strongest in the Heavenly Court!

Without a Saint, he, the Jade Emperor, was the supreme being!

But…

Personal strength was one thing, but the Jade Emperor didn't have many capable experts under his command.

Don't you see, the Lunar Star Lord, Barefoot Immortal, Solar Star Lord, Southern Antarctic Guanyin, Eastern Sovereign of Mount Chong, Immortal Elder of the Three Islands and Ten Continents, the Eastern Great Emperor, Northern Polar Xuanling Doumu Yuanjun, Central Yellow Pole Yellow Horned Great Immortal…

These were all Heavenly Court loose immortals who were at least Taiyi Golden Immortals, and the strongest even reached the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

Theoretically, they were under the Jade Emperor's control.

But in reality, none of them were truly the Jade Emperor's subordinates.

They were even more arrogant than Yang Jian, who listened to summons but not announcements.

Yang Jian was, after all, a relative of the Jade Emperor, and even if he was stubborn, he would still consider the Jade Emperor's face.

But these loose immortals were different. They had cultivated from the Conferred Gods era or even the Primordial Era until now, and each had their own backers. The Heavenly Court was just a mere name to them.

If it weren't for the Taoist Ancestor's personal appointment, which allowed them to gain a little bit of the world's fortune, they wouldn't bother with the Heavenly Court's life or death.

Let alone actively helping the Jade Emperor.

Was that a joke? A Taiyi Golden Immortal, or even a Great Luo Golden Immortal, would be called 'Sir' anywhere. If things really didn't work out, they could go to the Western Paradise and become a Buddha. The Heavenly Court was really too small for them to care about.

Unless the Jade Emperor personally spoke, they would obey. Otherwise, forget about it under normal circumstances.

It was just like now, Sun Wukong was outside the Southern Heavenly Gate, staining the Southern Heavenly Gate with blood. The passing True Lords and Yuanjuns were cracking melon seeds, littering the ground, and then turning around and leaving.

There was really no one who was thinking about the Heavenly Court.

That's why the Jade Emperor had always valued Chu Hao so much. He was the only good employee with impeccable credentials!

That's why the Jade Emperor spared no effort in cultivating Chu Hao. So, even though Chu Hao repeatedly left work on time and delayed battle opportunities, the Jade Emperor was very understanding and didn't blame him at all.

Even several times when Chu Hao unceremoniously offended the Western Paradise, the Jade Emperor helped Chu Hao speak.

No chairman would be so dedicated to an employee.

The Jade Emperor was already serving Chu Hao, just to win him over!

He really didn't want to be like this again today.

Just one Sun Wukong had exposed all the Heavenly Court's weaknesses.

Apart from those Heavenly Soldiers and Generals who went out to deliver food, no one in the Heavenly Court would jump out to deal with Sun Wukong.

"My good Prison God, why haven't you come yet?"

The Jade Emperor sat in the Heavenly Court, eagerly awaiting Chu Hao's appearance.

At this moment, the Jade Emperor was like a gazing rock waiting for her husband to return.

……

Western Paradise.

The Buddha Tathagata sat on the Nine-Grade Lotus Platform, his face filled with a smile even brighter than usual.

Why was he so excited?

Because today was the day to subdue Sun Wukong, and it was also the day that the Buddha Tathagata would show his face for the first time in the Journey to the West tribulation, and show off his power!

Everything in the Journey to the West was about to enter a turning point from today.

The Saints between heaven and earth would not die even after countless tribulations, and could escape even the killings of heaven and earth.

If there were no accidents, then he, Daobao Tathagata, would only need to wait a few hundred more years to have great merit income and become the Supreme Being of Heaven and Earth!

Of course, the premise was that there were no accidents.

But in fact, there was an accident, and it had already appeared.

The image of that white-robed Immortal Lord flashed through Tathagata's mind, and his face suddenly darkened.
