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

But at that moment, a clear and cold female voice rang out,

“Your Majesty, please calm your anger. Li Jing is a disciple of the ancient Buddha Dipankara. Please, Great Heavenly Lord, consider that Li Jing has served the Heavenly Court for many years, and even if he has no merit, he has worked hard. Please have a compassionate heart and spare him.”

It was Guanyin Bodhisattva who finally couldn't sit still and spoke to remind him.

The reminder still carried a hint of threat, this is a disciple of the ancient Buddha Dipankara, he cannot be touched!

A spark of hope ignited in Li Jing's heart, and he looked at Guanyin Bodhisattva, crying out miserably:

“Great One, save me! Save me!”

Li Jing was very clear that once he was caught and thrown into the Heavenly Prison, what those generals who had now joined Chu Hao's command would do to him, especially Nezha with his eyes full of resentment.

Once he entered the Heavenly Prison, even the Buddha would find it difficult to save him!

However, the Jade Emperor was not polite at all, and glanced at him coldly,

“If Dipankara Buddha has any objections, let him come and find me!”

“In addition, Prison God, listen to my command.”

“After Li Jing enters the prison, all the heavenly soldiers and generals under his command will be handed over to you for screening. If there are any more rebels, they will all be locked into the Heavenly Prison!”

Chu Hao straightened his back and said loudly:

“Your subject obeys the decree.”

Another batch of subordinates, a freebie.

Guanyin Bodhisattva felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on the anger that filled her chest after being glanced at by the Jade Emperor.

She felt the Jade Emperor's majestic and terrifying aura. In an era without Sages, the Jade Emperor was already the strongest being between heaven and earth.

Guanyin Bodhisattva did not dare to risk provoking the Jade Emperor's authority again.

Therefore, Guanyin Bodhisattva could only give Li Jing a look that meant he should pray for his own good fortune.

Li Jing immediately felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, his entire primordial spirit seeming to be frozen.

Had he been abandoned by the Western world just like that?

Guanyin Bodhisattva took a deep look at Chu Hao, her eyes full of threat.

Chu Hao naturally knew that this Guanyin Bodhisattva was not an easy character to deal with, after all, her previous life was the renowned Cihang Daoist from the Investiture of the Gods.

But, so what?

No matter how famous a person is, they still have to rely on strength to speak. Although Guanyin Bodhisattva is a Grand Luo Golden Immortal, something unattainable for others, Chu Hao doesn't think so. As long as he completes the tasks given by the system, Chu Hao's strength can skyrocket. As long as he has strength, Chu Hao has the confidence to speak.

After the Jade Emperor pronounced the sentence, he didn't dwell on it any further, retracted his gaze, and said coldly:

“Speaking of which, that demon monkey dares to presumptuously call himself 'Great Sage Equaling Heaven,' how dare he be so arrogant! Order the generals to immediately execute him.”

What was lost was just a little bit of reputation.

Moreover, Chu Hao did not embarrass the Heavenly Court that day, a win-win situation, and the Jade Emperor was very satisfied.

Taibai Jinxing seemed to have been prepared for this, and unhurriedly stepped forward and reported:

“Your subject has a plan that can subdue the enemy's army without a fight.”

“Speak!” The Jade Emperor said indifferently.

Taibai Jinxing bowed and said: “Your Majesty, that demon monkey only knows how to speak presumptuously, but he actually doesn't know the difference between big and small, otherwise he wouldn't have come to the Heavenly Court because of a弼馬溫 in the first place.”

“If we want to send troops to the mortal realm to讨伐 this demon monkey again, I'm afraid it will be another massive undertaking. It would be better for Your Majesty to show great mercy and bestow an imperial decree of amnesty. He wants to be the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, then let him be the Great Sage Equaling Heaven.”

The Jade Emperor frowned:

“How is that possible! My Heavenly Court's heavenly might is vast and mighty, and he, a mere demon monkey, dares to dream of equaling heaven!”

The immortals and gods present also frowned. If the title of Great Sage Equaling Heaven were to be established, not to mention the Heavenly Court's reputation, the key point was that such a righteous divine position as [Great Sage Equaling Heaven] would occupy an unknown amount of the Heavenly Court's fortune.

This would touch the cake of the immortals present, so everyone spoke out in opposition.

However, Chu Hao was calm and composed. Chu Hao, who already knew the truth, was not surprised at all, and even very calm.

Sure enough, Taibai Jinxing chuckled and said: “Your Majesty, please calm your anger, it's just adding an official title to him, with an official position but no salary.”

The Jade Emperor frowned slightly and said: “What do you mean by 'official position but no salary'?”

Jinxing cleared his throat lightly and said loudly:

“The name is Great Sage Equaling Heaven, but he is not given anything to do, nor does he enjoy heavenly blessings, nor does he enjoy heavenly salary, just let him stay in the Heavenly Court, let him know to advance and retreat, not to be arrogant, and slowly he will restrain his evil nature and follow the good like a stream.”

The immortals then suddenly understood and nodded one after another.

The Jade Emperor also nodded, “According to your report.”

Taibai Jinxing accepted the decree and left.

… …

It is said that Guanyin Bodhisattva had already brought the news of Chu Hao imprisoning Li Jing to the Western Sect.

Western world.

The Tathagata Buddha sat upright on the Nine-Rank Golden Lotus, his slightly narrowed eyes carrying a hint of anger.

“Unfilial son! The Heavenly King Li has immeasurable merit, yet he was thrown into prison?”

Manjushri Bodhisattva said lightly:

“My Buddha, why don't I go and convert that immortal to my Western world.”

The Buddha shook his head, “No.”

“Anomalies cannot be touched, if you get involved in karma, I fear it will disrupt the heavenly secrets.”

“Let me calculate it.”

The Tathagata Buddha sat upright on the lotus platform, his eyes hollow, as if seeing the void in all directions.

After a while, the Tathagata Buddha said indifferently:

“Maitreya Buddha, please go to the lower realm and help him through his tribulation.”

The pot-bellied, bare-chested Maitreya Buddha walked out with a smile,

“I obey my Buddha's decree.”

… … … …

Sun Wukong was recruited into the Heavenly Court and named the Great Sage Equaling Heaven.

And this matter did not cause much impact, because the immortals had already silently decided in their hearts that as long as they ignored Sun Wukong, there would be no trouble.

Sun Wukong has cultivated to this day and his nature is pure and sincere. Seeing that he has become the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, he also knows to restrain himself.

Now that he has his own mansion, there are two immortal officials under the Qitian Mansion who are specially provided for him to use and coax the Great Sage Equaling Heaven to enjoy himself.

And Sun Wukong will not work, only knows to eat three meals a day, sleep on a couch at night, without any worries, free and at ease.

Sun Wukong got what he wanted and was in a great mood. He came to Chu Hao's place that day to thank him.

After all, in Sun Wukong's heart, Chu Hao can be said to be his old brother.

If Chu Hao hadn't let Sun Wukong go last time, Sun Wukong felt that he would not have the opportunity to become the Great Sage Equaling Heaven.

Sun Wukong put his arm around Chu Hao's shoulder, put his hairy face close to Chu Hao's face, and smiled:

“Good brother, today I, Old Sun, can have this good fortune, thanks to you, please feel free to call me if you need anything in the future! This is the golden pill bestowed on me by His Majesty, good brother, here you go!”

Chu Hao could only smile wryly and accepted the golden pill without hesitation, “That's good too, with the Great Sage Equaling Heaven protecting me, it will be easier for me to get by.”

Even though Chu Hao knew in his heart that even if Sun Wukong lost, the Western Heaven would definitely let Sun Wukong have the title of Great Sage Equaling Heaven, because this was the karma that the Western Heaven had already decided.

After chatting with Sun Wukong for an afternoon, Chu Hao threw Li Jing into the Heavenly Prison, then clocked out and went back to the Doumu Palace on his own.

[Today's task is completed, task rewards are being distributed.]

[Rewards have been received: Million years of cultivation, Twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Divine Pearls (Innate Spiritual Treasure), Spearhead of the God-Slaying Spear (Fragment of the Heavenly Dao Exotic Treasure)]

Chu Hao immediately felt refreshed!
