Chapter 170: Wukong's chance Tongtian is worried...
Tongtian was worried, but suddenly he made up his mind: "No, I have to let my elder brother come over."
According to the original plan of the Heavenly Dao, Hongjun would fully merge with the Dao, and Taiqing Laozi would take over the position of Dao Ancestor. After several years, all traces of Hongjun would completely disappear from this world.
But Hongjun was unwilling to be completely annihilated, and Taiqing was not sure whether he would become the next victim of the Heavenly Dao after becoming the Taoist Patriarch.
In addition, the Three Purities were disciples accepted by Hongjun before he became a saint, and the relationship between master and disciple was deep. Taiqing was a person with a clear and open mind. After realizing the intention of the Heavenly Dao, he went directly to Hongjun and confessed his thoughts.
The master and disciple should have fought alone, even considering each other rivals. However, due to Taiqing's insight and openness, they became allies in the fight against the Heavenly Dao.
Even Heaven could not have anticipated this unexpected change.
But He was unwilling to change His original plan because this was the best development for Him.
Hongjun suddenly grasped Tongtian's arm, exhaled softly, and said, "There's no need to call him in for now. Once the 'Transforming Barbarians into Buddhas' event is complete, the Six Saints will all reside permanently in the Thirty-three Heavens. There's plenty of time."
The Heavenly Dao was indeed powerful, but Hongjun was no pushover. It wasn't easy for him to overthrow the Heavenly Dao, but it was easy to maintain a stalemate with it.
Tongtian frowned and said, "By that time, I'm afraid the two saints from the West will interfere."
Although the Six Saints were all disciples of the Daoist Ancestor, they differed in their closeness. The two Western Saints had been merely nominal disciples from the outset, but now that the Conferred God Ceremony was concluded, they openly changed their name from "Western Religion" to "Buddhism," clearly demonstrating their stance towards the Daoist Ancestor.
Hongjun smiled faintly, unconcerned: "The two saints of the West may be happy to see me suffer misfortune, but they certainly don't want Taiqing to become the new Daoist ancestor."
He did not bet on the goodness of the two Western saints, but only on their evil.
Daozu's defeat would certainly make them happy, but Taiqing's success would make them even more heartbroken.
Seeing that Tongtian was still frowning, Daozu simply changed the subject: "Your little disciple is really amazing. He even forced Haotian to come to me."
Speaking of his own grandson, Tongtian instantly became proud, holding his chin high and saying, "That's because his skills are inferior to others. The teacher clearly gave him the opportunity, but he didn't seize it, and yet he has the nerve to come and complain."
While the great catastrophe of heaven and earth was destined, its exact nature depended on the circumstances. The catastrophe of the Conferred Gods was something Haotian himself had sought. If he could seize the opportunity, he would naturally become the undisputed Emperor of Heaven.
Unfortunately, he didn't seize the opportunity and was intercepted by Fu Li.
Daozu smiled indulgently, his eyes and eyebrows etched with sarcasm: "Haotian takes the appointment of Heaven too seriously and doesn't understand the principle that man can conquer nature. He thinks he is the Heavenly Emperor chosen by Heaven, so he looks down on everyone else. He thinks that as long as he ascends to Heaven and takes the throne, even if he doesn't accept him as the Heavenly Emperor in his heart, he must show respect on the surface."
As long as he has this superficial respect, he will have plenty of time and can do a lot of things to slowly regain power.
Who would have thought that meeting Fu Li, who doesn't play by the rules, would make all his plans come to nothing.
Tongtian sneered: "He really thinks too much."
His little disciple is not one who is willing to be inferior to others. He was a king in the mortal world, and now when he goes to heaven, of course he wants to be the emperor of heaven!
Hongjun said, "I watched with a cold eye. That child has great potential. Young people have their own ideas. As elders, you should not interfere with what she wants to do unless she comes to you for help."
Tongtian smiled and said, "Don't worry, teacher. My second brother has already told me everything you said."
Hongjun nodded slightly and closed his eyes tiredly: "With Yuanshi here, I feel at ease."
=====
Fu Li has recaptured the entire Heavenly Palace, but Nezha has not yet come out.
She really missed him, but was afraid of disturbing his practice, so she sent a message to Taiyi Zhenren, asking about Nezha's retreat.
Fu Li: Master Taiyi, when will Nezha be able to come out?
Taiyi Zhenren: How can this guy be considered as secluded? He has recovered his memory.
Restore memory?
Fu Li was stunned and asked Taiyi Zhenren hurriedly: Did he remember Lingzhuzi's memory?
Taiyi Zhenren: I remember it now. But the situation is a bit special, so you need to be mentally prepared.
Fu Li: Please elaborate on this, teacher.
Taiyi Zhenren: It’s hard to say.
Taiyi Zhenren: Let’s not talk about Nezha for now, let’s talk about Wukong first.
Fu Li: Wukong, what happened to Wukong?
After asking this question, she called the video and asked anxiously: "Teacher Taiyi, is something wrong with Wukong?"
Taiyi Zhenren smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, it's a good thing. The boy's chance has come."
"How do you say that?"
Taiyi Zhenren said, "It's Senior Brother Yuding. He's recently gained new insights into Buddhism and Taoism, successfully severing his ego and calling himself Bodhi Daoist. He claims to have a master-disciple relationship with Wukong and wants to take him in as his disciple. I said I couldn't make the decision, so I asked him to find you. He should be here by now."
As soon as he finished speaking, Danxin came in and reported: "Emperor, there is someone outside the door who calls himself Bodhi Taoist and wants to see you, Emperor."
Fu Li said to Master Taiyi, "He has arrived. I will excuse myself now." He cut off the communication and said to Danxin, "That is my uncle from the sect. I will go and greet him personally."
When she walked out of the door, she saw a Taoist wearing a black Taoist robe and a hair crown woven with cinnamon twigs and fragrant herbs on his head. His eyebrows and eyes were nine-tenths similar to those of Jade Ding Zhenren. He stood there with his hands hanging down, with a leisurely posture.
"Disciple greets Uncle Bodhi." Fu Li said straight to the point, "Disciple already knows the purpose of Uncle Bodhi's visit. We have spoiled that child Wukong. I hope Uncle Bodhi will be more tolerant in the future."
This was the promise to send Wukong to his sect. Master Bodhi smiled slightly and refused Fuli's invitation to join the temple. Instead, he took Fuli to Qianyuan Mountain.
Wukong is there now. True Man Bodhi is really excited about this child and can't wait even a moment. As soon as Fu Li agrees, he will come to accept him as his disciple.
During the years when Fu Li was busy, Wukong had been traveling back and forth between Penglai, Emei, Qianyuan, Jin'ao and Kunlun. Although he missed his mother very much, he obediently did not disturb her.
Wukong was so surprised and delighted to see them today that he immediately threw away the toys he was holding and crawled out from the pile. He ran to Fuli, hugged her thighs and called out affectionately, "Mother, Mother, have you finally come to take Wukong home?"
Fu Li's nose felt sore. She bent down and hugged him in her arms, saying softly, "Yes, I'm here to take you home. Now we have a place to live in Heaven again, and we will live there for many years to come.
My mother specially prepared a palace for you. It is right next to my palace. You can get there by just turning the corner outside the door. Does Wukong like it?
Wukong's eyebrows curved as he listened, and he nodded continuously: "I like it, I like it, I like it very much!"
He hugged Fuli's neck, kissed her face several times, and said coquettishly: "But I want to live with my mother more~"
Fu Li immediately changed her tone, "You're still young, and I wasn't planning on moving you out right away. Mother just thought, since you're old enough to start school, and I have to handle government affairs and meet with court officials, the hustle and bustle would interfere with your studies. So, I've prepared a separate palace for you to practice in."
Taiyi Zhenren raised his eyebrows. Although he didn't say anything, the mockery between his eyebrows was obvious.
He had been a god in Shu Kingdom for a long time, and he knew Fu Li's character, if not everything about him, at least about 70% of it.
How could she be such an unprincipled person? No matter who came to interfere with his decision, it would be difficult for him to change it.
However, Goku is such a likable kid, it is understandable for anyone to go against their principles for him.
The mother and son spoke affectionately for many moments until Wukong felt secure enough. Then Fuli carried him to Master Bodhi and said softly, "Wukong, this is the master your mother has found for you—Master Bodhi."
Although Wukong loves to play, he is also very knowledgeable about etiquette.
After hearing what his mother said, he struggled to get out of her arms, carefully straightened his clothes, and stepped forward to greet her with a serious face: "Disciple Wukong, I pay my respects to the master. I have a naughty nature, so I hope the master will be willing to teach me."
"Good boy, get up quickly." Master Bodhi loved him so much that he immediately decided to go to his home as a tutor and not let his little disciple be separated from his mother.
He went through all the skills he knew in his mind, and felt that none of them were suitable for Wukong's qualifications.
So, he made up his mind that after arriving in the Heavenly Palace, he would first teach Wukong literature and etiquette, and he wanted to create the most suitable skills for his disciple!
Now Fu Li is the Emperor of Ziwei. As her only living offspring, Wukong's status naturally rises as well. When he travels around the six realms, everyone who sees him has to respectfully address him as "Prince", the Prince of Ziwei Palace.
The Crown Prince of Ziwei Palace wants to become a disciple. How can such a major event be taken lightly?
Fu Li wants to take this opportunity to announce Wukong's identity to the world, and also take the opportunity to win over the prehistoric immortals.
"Teacher Taiyi, Wukong is going to become his disciple. All the immortals, demons, gods and devils from the Three Realms and Six Paths will be present. Can you ask Nezha for me whether he is going or not?"
After leaving these words, Fu Li carried Wukong and led Master Bodhi back to the Heavenly Palace.
This was the first time that Wukong came here. The magnificent and majestic buildings retained traces of the Demon Court period, but also had a brand new atmosphere after the establishment of the new dynasty. It was different from every fairy cave he had visited before.
He lay in Fuli's arms, looking around, curiously and excitedly asking, "Is this the Heavenly Palace? Mother, is this our new home?"
Fu Li smiled, her tone revealing unquestionable confidence: "Yes, this is our new home."
——As for those who don’t belong to our family, they will have to be cleared out sooner or later.
After they left, Nezha suddenly appeared from an unknown location and asked, "Master, Sister just said that everyone from the Three Realms and Six Paths will be present, right?"
Then, he frowned, his expression suddenly cold and stern: "Li'er is much younger than me, how can you call her sister?"
"Hmph!" Nezha rolled his eyes and said disdainfully, "Is that the point? The point is that everyone from the Three Realms and Six Paths will go, which means Lu Ya will go too!"
"Who is Lu Ya?"
It was clearly the same face, the same voice, but the question "Who is Lu Ya" was asked with a nonchalant contempt.
Nezha scoffed, "Didn't you say you were invincible against all the liches? How come you don't even recognize the demon prince?"
"A mere prince of the demon tribe is worthy of my acquaintance?"
Taiyi Zhenren covered his face and didn't want to get involved in the dispute between Nezha and Lingzhuzi.
Yes, Nezha and Lingzhuzi.
To be precise, Nezha did recover Lingzhuzi's memories, but he himself was not very willing to accept it.
This memory is also very much in the style of Lingzhuzi. It actually formed a consciousness on its own, firmly attached to Nezha's soul, and avoided the end of dissipation.
