Wukong was holding an iron rod, standing in front of the Water Curtain Cave in the Flower-Fruit Mountain, looking majestic and with eyes as bright as torches. Suddenly, he heard the sound of celestial music from the heavens, as if something big was happening. Wukong laughed inwardly, thinking, "Old Jade Emperor, what are you going to do?"

While he was thinking, the sky was covered with gorgeous clouds, and Taiyi Zhenren came on the clouds, his sleeves fluttering, and he was surrounded by immortal spirit. He held a whisk in his hand, his face was as handsome as jade, and his expression was solemn. He said: "You naughty monkey Wukong, you have made trouble in the Heavenly Palace and disturbed the world. Today, I have come to arrest you and bring you to justice!"

Wukong laughed loudly upon hearing this, and swung his iron rod, shaking the surrounding rocks and trees. He said with a smile: "Taiyi Zhenren, you are a senior disciple of the Chan Sect, why do you help the tyrant to commit atrocities and serve as a running dog of the Heavenly Court? Although I am not talented, I know that the world is so big that there is no place where I cannot make a living!"

Taiyi Zhenren frowned slightly, waved his whisk lightly, and a golden light went straight to Wukong's face. Wukong dodged it easily with a flick of his body, and the iron rod swept out with a whistling sound and great momentum. The two fought for dozens of rounds in an instant, and it was difficult to tell who was better.

Seeing this, the real person was secretly shocked, knowing that Wukong was extraordinary. He snorted coldly, and suddenly jumped up, turning into a stream of light, and rushed straight into the sky. Seeing this, Wukong did not show any weakness, and jumped up and followed closely.

In a moment, the two of them were already above the ninth heaven, surrounded by clouds and mist, and the stars twinkled. Taiyi Zhenren stopped, put his hands together, closed his eyes and chanted scriptures. The spiritual energy around him gathered and gradually formed a golden pagoda. The pagoda spun non-stop, emitting waves of majestic aura.

Seeing this, Wukong sneered and swung his iron rod tightly, heading straight for the pagoda. With a loud bang, the iron rod collided with the pagoda, sparking a dazzling spark. However, the pagoda remained motionless, as if it could withstand any attack in the world.

Wukong was shocked, knowing that this was Taiyi Zhenren's magic weapon "Linglong Pagoda", which was extremely powerful. He did not dare to fight head-on, and retreated violently, trying to find a way to break it.

Seeing this, Taiyi Zhenren raised his lips slightly, waved his whisk, and the pagoda shrank rapidly, turning into a golden light, heading straight for Wukong. Wukong was agile, dodging left and right, but the pagoda followed him like a shadow, never leaving his side.

Wukong knew that this was not a solution, and he suddenly remembered that he had learned 72 transformations, so he came up with a plan. He flashed and turned into a fly, buzzing, and flew towards Taiyi Zhenren.

Taiyi Zhenren was caught off guard and was taken advantage of by Wukong. His face changed and he waved his whisk hastily, but it was too late. Wukong took the opportunity to escape, transformed into his original form, stood aside, and laughed.

Taiyi Zhenren was furious, and waved his whisk again, which turned into thousands of sword shadows and attacked Wukong. Wukong's body was as fast as the wind, and his iron rod was waving like a dragon, intertwined with the sword shadows, making it difficult to separate them.

The two fought for a long time, both panting and sweating. Wukong knew that it was not a good idea to continue wasting time like this, he had to make a quick decision. So, he took a deep breath, opened his eyes wide, and shouted angrily: "Watch the stick!"

The iron rod seemed to have life in his hand, and instantly became huge, smashing towards Taiyi Zhenren like a mountain. Taiyi Zhenren was horrified when he saw this, and quickly waved his whisk to resist. However, the iron rod was so powerful that it smashed the whisk into pieces.

Taiyi Zhenren retreated several steps, his face as pale as paper. He knew that he was no match for Wukong, and if he continued to fight, he would be in danger. So he gritted his teeth, concentrated all his cultivation in his palm, and slapped forward fiercely.

A dazzling light burst out from Taiyi Zhenren's palm and hit Wukong in the face. Wukong was shocked and knew that this was Taiyi Zhenren's unique skill "Jade Purity Divine Thunder", which was powerful enough to destroy the world.

However, Wukong did not retreat. He shouted, "Well done!" and then swung his iron rod, smashing the light into pieces. Seeing this, Taiyi Zhenren couldn't help but gasp, knowing that Wukong's strength had far exceeded his imagination.

However, at this moment, Wukong suddenly put away his iron rod, and his expression became serious. He looked at Master Taiyi and said slowly: "Master, wait a minute, I have something to say."

Taiyi Zhenren was stunned, not knowing what Wukong was up to. He looked at Wukong coldly and said, "What else do you have to say, you naughty monkey?"

Wukong sighed and said, "Master, have you ever thought about this? Although the Jade Emperor is the master of the three realms, he is arbitrary and treats all things as straw dogs. Although we are monsters, we also have feelings and kindness. Why do we have to fight to the death?"

Taiyi Zhenren was silent after hearing this. He really hadn't thought about this question. He always thought that he was on the side of justice and Wukong was the embodiment of evil. However, after hearing what Wukong said, he couldn't help but start to reflect.

Seeing this, Wukong continued, "How about this, Master? How about we stop fighting and make peace for now? I will go to the Heavenly Palace to talk to the Jade Emperor and have a clear discussion. If he is willing to reform and treat all things kindly, then I will submit to the Heavenly Palace. If he is stubborn and continues to do evil, then I will never coexist with him!"

Taiyi Zhenren was silent for a long time after hearing this. He knew that although Wukong's words were vulgar, they were not without reason. He looked at Wukong's firm eyes and couldn't help but feel a little respect in his heart.

Finally, he sighed and said, "Forget it! If you and I really fight, it will cause a catastrophe to the world and all living things will be destroyed! Just do as you say! I will go back to the Heavenly Palace to report to the Jade Emperor and then make any plans!"

After saying this, he turned around and was about to leave. However, at this moment, he suddenly stopped, turned around, looked at Wukong and said, "But don't be too proud! Although the Jade Emperor is not a wise ruler, he is not an easy person to deal with! You must be careful when you go there and don't act rashly!"

Wukong laughed loudly upon hearing this and said, "Thank you for the reminder, Master! I know my limits!"

So the two reached a reconciliation in the sky and left, leaving only the stars and the lingering clouds to witness the legend of this moment.

Wukong flew up to the Heavenly Palace on his cloud, thinking about countermeasures in his heart. He knew that the Jade Emperor was suspicious and stubborn, and this trip would not be easy, but for the sake of the monkeys in the Flower-Fruit Mountain and for the justice in his heart, he was fearless.

Soon, Wukong arrived at the South Heaven Gate. When the heavenly generals at the gate saw that it was Wukong, they were all terrified, but they had no choice but to step forward to stop him: "Demon monkey, how dare you trespass into Heaven?"

Wukong sneered and said, "I came here to seek justice with the old Jade Emperor. You all should get out of the way quickly to avoid damaging the relationship."

The generals looked at each other, but no one dared to step forward. Seeing this, Wukong said no more and swung his stick. The South Heaven Gate was immediately blown open by a powerful force. He flashed and entered the inner court.

In the Heavenly Palace, the Jade Emperor was discussing important matters with his ministers. Suddenly, they heard that the South Heaven Gate had been breached and Wukong had broken into the palace. They were all horrified. The Jade Emperor angrily slammed the dragon throne and shouted, "How dare this monkey be so bold! Quickly order someone to capture him!"

However, all the immortals knew that Wukong was very powerful, so no one dared to respond. At this time, Taibai Jinxing stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, calm down. Wukong may have his reasons for coming here. Why not listen to what he says first, and then make a decision."

The Jade Emperor pondered for a moment, nodded, and said, "Well, let him in and see what he has to say."

Wukong was brought to the Lingxiao Palace. He looked around and saw that the immortals had different expressions. Some were angry, some were curious, and some were indifferent. He didn't care. He strode forward, bowed to the Jade Emperor, and said, "Old Jade Emperor, I am here."

The Jade Emperor's face turned pale and he angrily asked, "You rascal monkey, what crime should you be punished for trespassing into the Heavenly Palace?"

Wukong smiled and said, "Old Jade Emperor, I am not here to cause trouble, but I have something to say. You proclaimed yourself the master of the three realms, but you are arbitrary and treat all things as straw dogs. Although I am a demon, I also know the word justice. If you can reform yourself and treat all things kindly, I will return to the heaven; if you are stubborn and continue to do evil, I will never coexist with you!"

The Jade Emperor was furious when he heard this, and was about to explode, but Taibai Jinxing stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, although Wukong's words were crude, they also pointed out some of the shortcomings of the Heavenly Court. Why don't we listen to his opinions, perhaps we can gain something."

The Jade Emperor looked at Taibai Jinxing, then looked at Wukong, and finally sighed and said, "Okay, tell me what you suggest?"

Seeing that the Jade Emperor was willing to give in, Wukong was delighted and said, "Old Jade Emperor, I, Sun, suggest that the Heavenly Court should establish a fair system, and treat all fairies and demons equally. At the same time, strengthen supervision to prevent fairies from abusing their power and oppressing the weak. In addition, we should open up more paths for talents, not sticking to one style, so that more capable people can serve the Heavenly Court."

After listening to Wukong's words, the Jade Emperor fell into deep thought. The immortals also whispered and discussed. Finally, the Jade Emperor nodded and said, "What Wukong said makes sense. The Heavenly Palace does need reform. However, this matter is of great importance and requires long-term consideration. You should go back to Huaguo Mountain and wait for news. I will make a decision after discussing with the immortals."

Wukong was delighted to see that the Jade Emperor was finally willing to listen to him, and said, "Thank you, old Jade Emperor. I will go back and wait for your good news." After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave, but seemed to remember something and said, "By the way, old Jade Emperor, don't try to play any tricks. I have sharp eyes. If you dare to deceive me, don't blame me for being rude!"

After saying this, Wukong disappeared from everyone's sight, leaving only the Jade Emperor and the immortals standing there, staring at each other with mixed feelings.
