Chapter 157: The great play opens, the fake monkey causes havoc in heaven

And just in this chaos, the day of the Heavenly Court's "An-Tian Assembly" arrived. 【157

On this day, the Heavenly Gates opened wide, and celestial music played in waves.

Countless immortals and deities rode auspicious clouds or mounted celestial cranes, arriving from all directions to gather at the South Tianmen, preparing to attend this grand event that had captured the attention of the Three Realms.

Outside the South Tianmen, there was a constant stream of visitors, and celestial energy swirled about.

Immortals and deities of all ranks gathered in groups of three or five, bowing and exchanging pleasantries; the scene was incredibly lively.

"The Immortal of the South Pole has arrived!"

"Emperor Donghua has arrived!"

"The Dragon Kings of the Four Seas have arrived!"

Following the loud announcements of the welcoming celestial officials, one renowned powerhouse of the Three Realms after another arrived in succession.

As the immortals and deities gradually assembled, the protagonist of the day also appeared at Yaochi.

One could see Sun Wukong, transformed by the Liu Er Mihou, wearing a brand-new suit of Golden Chain Mail, a Phoenix-Wing Purple Gold Crown on his head, and Cloud-Stepping Boots on his feet, standing majestically at the entrance of Yaochi to welcome the guests.

His face bore an arrogant and smug expression; he waved his hands haphazardly at the immortals and deities who came to offer congratulations, appearing both flamboyant and lacking in manners.

It could be said that the Liu Er Mihou knew Sun Wukong too well through his own divine abilities; the Sun Wukong he impersonated could be said to be without a single flaw.

Today, many powerful immortals and deities had come to Yaochi, yet not one of them saw through his true form.

"Hahaha, everyone, please come in, please come in! Today, this Old Sun has been restored to his original post, and the Old Jade Emperor has specially prepared wine for me. Let us all drink until we are drunk!"

His vulgar remarks caused many deities who prided themselves on being refined to secretly frown, but out of respect for the Jade Emperor, they could only force a smile and walk inside.

Inside Yaochi, celestial music drifted through the air, and palace maids danced.

Nectar and jade liquid, along with rare immortal fruits, filled every jade table.

The immortals took their seats, clinking cups and exchanging toasts, a scene of peace and prosperity.

The Jade Emperor sat high in the seat of honor, his face beaming as he raised his wine cup: "My fellow immortals, today is a day of great joy for the Three Realms. The Great Sage Saint Qitian, Sun Wukong, knows his mistakes and has returned to the Heavenly Court; My heart is greatly comforted.

I have specially set up this Peace-of-Heaven Assembly, firstly to welcome the Great Sage, and secondly to celebrate the return of peace to the Three Realms. Come, my fellow immortals, drink this cup with Me!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The immortals all stood up in unison and drank it down.

Sun Wukong, played by the Liu Er Mihou, was arranged in a seat second only to the Jade Emperor. He grabbed a huge wine flagon and began to guzzle it directly from the spout, letting out a rude burp after finishing, which caused many celestial maidens to cover their mouths and giggle.

"Good wine! Good wine!" He wiped his mouth and shouted loudly, "Old Jade Emperor, the wine you have here is far worse than the monkey wine from my Old Sun's Flower-Fruit Mountain!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire hall fell silent.

The Jade Emperor's expression turned somewhat ugly for a moment, but he quickly regained his smile and waved his hand magnanimously: "Haha, the Great Sage speaks his mind. No matter, no matter. Someone, bring the Great Sage the best 'Nine-Brew Immortal Nectar'!"

This seemingly generous gesture, in the eyes of the immortals, solidified the image of Sun Wukong as "ungrateful" and "pushing his luck."

After a few rounds of drinking, the Liu Er Mihou began to show he "could not hold his liquor."

He stood up unsteadily, still holding the wine flagon, and pointed at the dancing celestial maidens, shouting loudly: "What kind of rubbish is this dancing? It's soft and weak, no energy! No energy! Change it to something exciting for my Old Sun!"

As he spoke, he actually stumbled toward the center of the dance floor, pushed aside the celestial maidens, and began to perform a nonsensical set of boxing moves while dancing and gesticulating, babbling incoherently.

"Little ones, train with my Old Sun!"

"Kill our way to the Lingxiao Palace and seize the bird-throne of the Old Jade Emperor!"

Once these words were out, the entire hall was in an uproar!

Although they knew he was "drunk," such rebellious words still caused all the deities to change their expressions.

The Jade Emperor's face turned completely black.

"Presumptuous!" He slammed his hand on the table and stood up.

"Great Sage, you are drunk!" Taibai Jinxing hurriedly stepped forward, wanting to restrain the Liu Er Mihou.

"Get lost!" The Liu Er Mihou pushed Taibai Jinxing away, pointed at the Jade Emperor with bleary eyes, and chuckled, "Old Jade Emperor, don't be in such a hurry... My Old Sun is just... just joking with you... *hic*... Being this Great Sage is boring... Why don't you lend me your seat for a couple of days?"

This sentence exploded over Yaochi like a thunderclap.

All the deities were so frightened they stood up, looking in disbelief at the monkey who was still acting out his drunken madness.

He's crazy! This monkey is absolutely crazy!

To actually dare to say such things in front of the Jade Emperor and all the immortals of the Three Realms!

"Seize him!" The Jade Emperor's voice could no longer suppress his fury, "This demon monkey does not appreciate heavenly grace, and after drinking, he dares to speak such wild words; his crimes are unforgivable! Take him for Me!"

"Yes!"

The heavenly soldiers and generals guarding the perimeter of Yaochi immediately rushed toward the Liu Er Mihou, who was acting out his drunken madness in the center.

"Hehe, you want to catch my Old Sun?" The Liu Er Mihou grinned, his eyes showing not a hint of drunkenness.

His figure flickered, and he pulled the "Ruyi Jingu Bang" from his ear. As it met the wind, it grew to the thickness of a bowl, and he shouted loudly:

"Just by relying on you rotten shrimp and stinking fish, you want to touch a single hair on my Old Sun?"

He swung the iron staff, sweeping it lightly.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

·

The dozens of heavenly soldiers who rushed up were like paper cutouts; they were instantly swept away, knocking over countless tables and chairs. The Yaochi banquet was instantly in a state of chaos.

Immortal fruits rolled all over the ground, and nectar was spilled everywhere.

A grand Peace-of-Heaven Assembly was, in the blink of an eye, left in a mess.

The Liu Er Mihou established his might with one strike of his staff, then laughed loudly. Carrying the staff, he did not linger to fight, but performed a somersault and rushed out of Yaochi.

"Old Jade Emperor, my Old Sun won't attend this crappy assembly anymore! I'm going to find my own fun!"

His figure turned into a streak of golden light and disappeared into the horizon.

The Jade Emperor stood in the middle of the ruined Yaochi, his face livid, his extended finger trembling slightly with rage.

He pointed in the direction where the Liu Er Mihou had disappeared and roared: "Rebellion! This is truly rebellion! Pass on My decree: seal the four Heavenly Gates, and order the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li Jing, along with the Santanhai Society Great God and the Giant Spirit God, to lead the heavenly soldiers and generals to capture this demon monkey for Me! Dead or alive, it matters not!"

"As you command!"

In the Heavenly Court, the heavenly soldiers and generals who had long found "Sun Wukong" an eyesore were fully mobilized.

Soon, the news spread that the "Great Sage Saint Qitian" had spoken wild words after getting drunk at the Peace-of-Heaven Assembly, even daring to say he wanted the Jade Emperor to abdicate to him.

Flower-Fruit Mountain, Water Curtain Cave.

Yan Que reported the intelligence he had gathered to Su Chen and the Bull Niu Mowang, who was presiding over the Water Curtain Cave.

"Brother Su Chen, just as you expected, the Heavenly Court really intends to use that fake to commit acts that violate heavenly laws, so as to prepare for their future conquest of the Seventh Brother and the Demon Alliance," the Bull Niu Mowang said to Su Chen after hearing Yan Que's report.

"No, their goal is not limited to this," Su Chen shook his head, "I believe there is a deeper meaning to the Heavenly Court letting that fake wreak havoc in the Tiangong."

As a transmigrator, Su Chen naturally knew that the havoc in the Tiangong was to prepare for the future Great Calamity of the Journey to the West, but he could not tell the Bull Niu Mowang explicitly.
