Fang Xiu nodded and accepted the decree. He didn't want the Nine Dragons Supreme Law for himself. He had already learned from the Jade Emperor that he couldn't completely learn the other's Dao. He wouldn't abandon the essential for the trivial. The reason he asked for this decree was for Zhao Hao, Xiao Chuxia and the others.
Rather than letting the Nine Dragons Supreme Law be lost in the river of time, it would be better to pass it on to Zhao Hao and others, so that they could refute it.
Just because he can't practice the Nine Dragons Supreme Technique doesn't mean others can't.
Even if no one in later generations possesses the talent of the Jade Emperor, each person can still master one character.
"Young friend Fang, it's almost time. The Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King has already gone to muster his troops, and the immortals and gods have also made arrangements. Now, only Sun Wukong remains. Since you were able to make a ruckus in the Peach Garden, why don't you go and negotiate with him this time when he wreaks havoc in the Heavenly Palace?" the Jade Emperor asked.
"Okay." Fang Xiu did not refuse. Even if the Jade Emperor hadn't said anything, he would have gone anyway. After all, he already understood Sun Wukong's temperament and was confident that he could persuade him. If someone else were sent, who knows what might go wrong.
......
......
In the Eastern Continent of Divine Victory, in the Kingdom of Aolai, at Flower and Fruit Mountain.
This mountain soars high into the clouds, majestic and beautiful, filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers. In its forest dwell long-lived deer and celestial foxes, while in the trees perch spirit birds and black cranes. Rare herbs and exotic flowers never fade, and green pines and cypresses remain evergreen. Immortal peaches always bear fruit, and tall bamboos always retain the clouds. A ravine is densely covered with vines and creepers, and the surrounding banks are covered with fresh, vibrant grass.
Deep within Huaguo Mountain, a waterfall cascades down like a silver chain, its spray splashing everywhere. Behind this waterfall, a cave dwelling is hidden, known as the Water Curtain Cave.
Inside the Water Curtain Cave, Sun Wukong was lost in thought, while his monkey followers frolicked and played happily.
"Why does Your Majesty look so troubled? Are you troubled by the incident at the Peach Banquet?" The old monkey, who was always leaning on his cane, came over and asked.
Sun Wukong came to his senses and sighed, "You know, someone clearly has a physical body, but no matter how you fight them, you can't hit them. What's the reason for that?"
The old monkey was taken aback, not understanding what Sun Wukong was saying.
Just then, a monkey carrying an iron rod rushed in in a great hurry.
"Report! Your Majesty, a man has arrived outside and requests to see you!"
"One person?" Sun Wukong scratched his itch. Could it be that the Heavenly Court sent someone to capture him? But why only one person? That's underestimating him too much.
"What did that person look like?"
"The man had very short hair, wore strange clothes, and had no hair on his face."
Sun Wukong was taken aback. The hair was very short, there was no beard, and the clothes were strange. Could it be...?
"Quickly, invite him in."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
A moment later, a figure with black hair, black eyes, and black clothes slowly walked into the Water Curtain Cave; it was Fang Xiu.
Upon seeing Fang Xiu, Sun Wukong's face immediately displayed a complex expression, including surprise, annoyance, and schadenfreude.
"Isn't this Brother Fang? What's wrong? Has the Heavenly Court discovered that you were the culprit who ruined the Peach Banquet, and you've come to seek refuge with your brother?"
At this moment, Sun Wukong's smile was harder to suppress than an AK. He had inexplicably lost the bet and gone from being the Great Sage Equal to Heaven to becoming a wanted person by the Heavenly Court. But now that he saw the real mastermind had also descended to the mortal realm, he felt a sense of schadenfreude and peace of mind.
Unexpectedly, Fang Xiu shook his head: "No, I'm cooperating with the Heavenly Court to capture you."
Sun Wukong's smile froze, and he was about to explode: "What did you say?! You, the culprit, are actually cooperating with the Heavenly Court to capture me, Old Sun?! Is there any justice left in the Three Realms? Are there any heavenly rules left in the Heavenly Court?"
Facing the impending outburst from Sun Wukong, Fang Xiu remained calm and said, "Take it easy. This so-called capture is actually just to get you to cooperate in a play."
"Acting? What kind of acting?"
"Havoc in Heaven".
Sun Wukong's eyes widened instantly as he looked at Fang Xiu in disbelief: "I, Old Sun, just finished causing a ruckus at the Peach Banquet, and you want me to cause another ruckus in the Heavenly Palace?! If you want to cause trouble, go ahead and cause trouble yourself."
Fang Xiu shook his head: "This matter cannot be left to you."
Then, before Sun Wukong lost control, he explained the whole story to him.
After listening, Sun Wukong fell into a rare silence, and the shock in his eyes took a long time to fade.
"Is what you said true? The Queen Mother of the West was really infected by demonic energy? And the peaches of immortality were also contaminated, so this is the real reason why you tricked me, Old Sun, into ruining the Peach Banquet?"
"Whether it is or not, you will naturally understand after you are captured by the Heavenly Court."
"Capture? Hmph, those shrimp soldiers and crab generals think they can capture me, Old Sun?"
"This time, not only Li Jing, Nezha, and 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals will be coming, but Erlang Shen will also be here."
Sun Wukong's momentum faltered slightly, but he still said firmly, "If it's a one-on-one fight, I, Old Sun, am not afraid of Erlang Shen. However, if so many of them come, they will indeed be difficult to deal with."
Wait, you're not deliberately trying to trick me, Old Sun, to prevent me from escaping, are you? Although I, Old Sun, can't defeat so many of them, if I were to run away, they wouldn't be able to catch me."
"You don't need to doubt me. Now you have no choice but to trust me. Otherwise, where do you think you can run to? Where can you hide from the watchful eyes of the Jade Emperor, the ruler of the Three Realms?"
"I, Old Sun, will believe you for now, but why should I, Old Sun, cooperate with your act? What benefit would I get? Unless..."
Sun Wukong's eyes darted around: "Unless you tell me how you guessed the peach pit and how you won't be attacked... Hey, Brother Fang, don't go! Everything can be discussed. I, Sun Wukong, agree, but you have to tell me the method."
Fang Xiu discovered that Sun Wukong's curiosity was extraordinary. Even after being captured by the Heavenly Court and learning that the Queen Mother of the West had been infected, his focus remained on the bet they had made earlier.
"Somersault Cloud! I, Old Sun, am willing to exchange the Somersault Cloud technique with you!" Sun Wukong shouted. Ever since he made the bet with Fang Xiu, he hadn't slept well for a single day, constantly pondering Fang Xiu's methods, but the more he thought about it, the less he understood.
Fang Xiu stopped in his tracks: "We can only exchange the Somersault Cloud for one."
Sun Wukong was both shocked and furious: "Only one? You know, my somersault cloud can travel 108,000 li in one leap... Hey, hey, don't go! Add the Seventy-Two Transformations too! Change to two!"
Fang Xiu paused, then turned around: "Deal."
A look of pain flashed across Sun Wukong's face at first, but it was quickly replaced by curiosity and excitement: "Tell me, tell me!"
In fact, he didn't care much about the Somersault Cloud and the Seventy-Two Transformations. Although these two supernatural powers were excellent, he wasn't the only one who knew them. In fact, there were quite a few people who knew the Seventy-Two Transformations. However, even the most powerful supernatural powers depend on who the user is.
Fang Xiu didn't keep Sun Wukong in suspense. Under Sun Wukong's expectant gaze, he slowly said, "The reason I can guess the peach pit correctly time and time again is because I can foresee the future."
