The idea proposed by Lin Han made Monkey's eyes light up slightly.
He was allowed to move from Huaguo Mountain to the territory of Daxia and receive the title from the imperial court, and he was considered a formally established immortal.
Five hundred years ago, he was named the Great Sage Equaling Heaven and was considered a celestial being, but he had no official position, no salary, and was just a facade. He is still a criminal.
If you enter the human court, you will have a position and salary, and you can get rid of your demon body and become a human immortal.
"This is what Nuwa thought." Seeing that the monkey didn't say anything, Lin Han added fuel to the fire.
Sun Wukong looked at Lin Han, and he was indeed a little moved.
He broke off relations with Buddhism, and if he did not travel to the West, his sins in Heaven would not be washed away. If he returned to Huaguo Mountain, he would definitely be retaliated by Buddhism and Heaven again.
"Can I, Old Sun, meet the Goddess Nuwa?"
"Of course!" Lin Han agreed readily.
…
Heaven.
The Lingxiao Palace is as high as the sky, filled with fairy air and surrounded by colorful clouds.
Immortal officials came from all directions and were among them.
The Three Pure Ones are missing, the Six Imperial Lords have not arrived, the Five Old Lords of the Five Directions have taken their places, and the Metal Mother and the Wood Father have gathered.
The Lord of Thunder, the Lord of Fire, the Lord of Water, and the Holy Mother of Gold are in power.
The Nine Star Officials, the Ten Directions Heavenly Lords, the Four Spirits and the Twenty-Eight Mansions, and the Five Star Lords are all complete.
Li Jing, Nezha and his son, as well as Lei Gong and Dian Mu are among them.
The Four Heavenly Kings are not all together, only three are in power.
Even Taishang Laojun and Yang Jian, who used to obey orders but not announcements, were rarely seen in the Lingxiao Palace, and their true appearances could not be seen in the misty clouds.
This was the largest gathering in heaven since the Conferred God Ceremony.
The gods whispered to each other and discussed the affairs of the world.
The Human Emperor showed a strong attitude, and the Heavenly Court could no longer interfere in the affairs of the human world.
Many things did not happen as expected.
Suddenly, the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother arrived in a golden dragon and phoenix chariot, and landed on the center seat of the Lingxiao Palace.
Both are as high as the clouds, surrounded by only the mist of merit and the aura of immortality.
"I summoned all the immortals here to discuss matters concerning the human world."
The Jade Emperor's majestic voice came down from the mist in the clouds, extremely majestic.
"The emperor emerged from the human world, and was considered the orthodox of the human world. The gates to immortality were wide open, but the ranks of immortals were not full. The plan to recruit outstanding people into the ranks of immortals fell through. What are your thoughts on this?"
Upon hearing this, the Lingxiao Palace fell silent.
Before the Human Emperor, Heaven could enthrone outstanding people as celestial immortals, but it is not possible now.
The Human Emperor has returned to the throne and is under humane supervision, so their Heavenly Court cannot enthrone any outstanding person.
"Why not send out the heavenly soldiers to attack Daxia?" Among the three heavenly kings, Vaisravana stepped out and said.
"Not right." Taibai Jinxing hurriedly stepped out and said, "Daxia is not weak now, and the Human Emperor has the power of a Saint. Now that the Saint has not come out, who in Heaven can resist the Human Emperor?"
After Taibai Jinxing finished speaking, the gods fell silent.
Tathagata was seriously injured by the Human Emperor. Now, no one in the world can withstand the power of the Human Emperor.
"Even when Lady Nuwa deposed the Emperor of Man, she still needed the help of the cause and effect of the great calamity. How dare she attack Daxia so easily now?"
"If we allow the Human Emperor to become more powerful without being under the control of Heaven, wouldn't the majesty of Heaven be destroyed?" said Thunder God.
"What else can we do? Now that the saint is in seclusion and doesn't care about the affairs of the three realms, who can deal with the Human Emperor?" Nezha stepped out and said.
If Heaven sends out troops, and sends them father and son, it will be impossible for them to defeat Daxia.
"The immortal class is not full, so we can summon demon immortals to fill it." A heavenly master stepped out and said, "The catastrophe is still going on, and the saint has not yet emerged. Once the saint emerges, the matter of the human emperor will be decided by the saint."
Above the Lingxiao Palace, all the immortals were silent.
"Then it is settled. Taibai Jinxing, you will go down to the three great divine continents and search for demon immortals to fill the vacant immortal positions."
A majestic and calm voice was passed down, forming a decree and falling into the hands of Taibai Jinxing.
…
Lingshan, Great Leiyin Temple!
There was a gloomy atmosphere over the dojo.
The Tathagata is in power and the four great Bodhisattvas are all present, but Samantabhadra is still a soul, sitting on the lotus platform, receiving nourishment from the power of vows.
Two of the Five Jiedis were missing, and three were injured to varying degrees. Six of the Eighteen Arhats were missing, and half of the Eight Divisions of Celestial Beings were missing.
This was one of the most devastating battles in the history of Buddhism.
In the center of the dojo, Jin Chanzi was sealed and unconscious.
As one of the core people of the catastrophe, Jin Chanzi is still a mortal. In order to prevent him from being affected and killed in the struggle, Guanyin sealed him away during the war.
Now that Sun Wukong has escaped and Jin Chanzi has no one to protect him, the journey to the West is full of variables and the overall situation is in chaos.
Even a saint cannot see the direction of the catastrophe at this time.
"Buddha, what should we do with Jin Chanzi?" Guanyin asked.
"Re-select the candidates for the Journey to the West." Tathagata said leisurely, "The Journey to the West has not failed. Heaven requires that Jin Chanzi succeed in obtaining the scriptures. Only then can he legitimately spread Buddhism in the human world."
The Tathagata did not explain it in detail.
The great calamity is caused by the imperfections of Heaven's Way. If the journey to the West is successful and the teachings are spread among the human world, the luck and fortune of the human world that are lacking in Heaven's Way can be taken away, thus avoiding the great calamity.
As long as Jin Chanzi succeeds in obtaining the scriptures, the other personnel can be re-determined.
Sun Wukong's escape does not mean that the Journey to the West has failed.
"Do you have a candidate for the Buddha?" asked Guanyin.
"Six-eared Macaque, he's one of the four mischievous monkeys, he can replace Sun Wukong."
The Tathagata looked outside the Great Leiyin Temple.
"In the peach blossom forest of Mount Lingshan, there lived a six-eared macaque. During the time of the witch-demon calamity, a sage captured it and kept it there. It was a good listener, able to perceive reason, and could know the past and the future, understanding everything.
Over the years, I have taught him the magical powers of the Eight-Nine Mysterious Arts, and his learning is almost the same as Sun Wukong's. Originally, it was to help Sun Wukong understand his true nature during the Journey to the West. Now that Sun Wukong has escaped, I have allowed him to take his place, journey westward, and achieve enlightenment.
The Buddhas’ eyes lit up.
As long as the journey to the West has not failed, there is still a chance to overcome the catastrophe.
"Then how can we make the six ears understand their true nature?" asked Manjushri Bodhisattva.
