Chapter 182

"That involves a very large layout," Su Chen looked at Tianpeng meaningfully: "Does the Marshal really know nothing?"

Su Chen's words were not only asking Tianpeng back but also a probe.

He was worried that Tianpeng was someone who knew the inside story of the Journey to the West and that his demotion was just a play.

If he didn't know that Tianpeng didn't get any benefits in the end in the Journey to the West, Su Chen would never have risked coming to win him over.

You have to know that Tianpeng was the Grand Marshal of the Heavenly Court before he was demoted, having strength where he had strength, and face where he had face.

Not to mention being demoted to the mortal world and turning into a pig, in the end, when the Journey to the West ended, he only got the position of the Altar-Cleansing Envoy, not even getting a Bodhisattva fruit status.

It was precisely this point that made Su Chen think that Tianpeng was not someone who entered the Great Tribulation of the Journey to the West voluntarily.

"A very large layout?" Tianpeng really knew nothing, and he asked Su Chen curiously: "What layout, can you explain it more clearly?"

Su Chen pointed to the sky above his head and shook his head: "Cannot be said; this matter involves too much, involving more than just the Heavenly Court, I'm afraid if I say it..."

Although Su Chen didn't finish, Tianpeng already understood his meaning.

"Then don't say it." Seeing Su Chen's solemn appearance, Tianpeng felt a chill in his heart and stopped asking about this matter, instead asking: "You just said you have a way to let me and Fairy Chang'e be together? Is this true?"

"Naturally, it is true." Su Chen nodded.

"What way?"

Hearing this, Tianpeng's eyes lit up, and he asked eagerly.

Su Chen looked at his excited appearance and thought to himself: "Finally hooked."

He deliberately sold a pass and didn't answer immediately, but asked back: "Marshal, if I really have a way to let you and Fairy Chang'e be together openly and honestly, what would you do?"

Hearing this, Tianpeng didn't hesitate at all and said directly: "As long as you can do it, I, Tianpeng, will join the Demon Alliance from now on! I will follow your lead and resist the Heavenly Court together. If I break this oath, may I never be reincarnated and never see Fairy Chang'e again!"

"Good!" Su Chen was waiting for these words from him.

"Marshal is quick-witted; since that's the case, I won't hide it anymore." Su Chen looked at him and slowly stated his view.

"Marshal, I said before that the biggest obstacle between you and Fairy Chang'e is the Heavenly Law. As long as you are still immortals of the Heavenly Court, you will be bound by the Heavenly Law for one day."

"Therefore, the only way to break this deadlock is for neither of you to be an immortal of the Heavenly Court anymore."

Hearing this, Tianpeng was stunned for a moment, then gave a bitter smile: "Brother, isn't this nonsense? I am no longer a Marshal of the Heavenly Court, but you can't let Fairy Chang'e be demoted to the mortal world too."

"Marshal, don't be anxious, let me finish." Su Chen waved his hand, signaling him to be quiet.

"What I mean by 'no longer an immortal' is not being passively demoted to the mortal world, but actively stripping away your immortal status."

"Stripping away immortal status?" Tianpeng was even more confused.

Immortal status is the proof of being listed in the immortal ranks and is something that countless cultivators dream of.

He had never heard of anyone actively stripping away their immortal status.

Su Chen explained: "Marshal, think about it, who does the Heavenly Law manage? It manages the righteous gods who are conferred by the Heavenly Court and have names and titles. It cannot manage mortals, nor can it manage those loose immortals who are not in the immortal ranks."

"You, now, your immortal status has been stripped, and from a legal perspective, you are no longer bound by the Heavenly Law."

"Therefore, the key to the problem now is not you, but Fairy Chang'e."

"As long as she is also willing to strip away her immortal status for you, from a fairy of the Guanghan Palace to a female cultivator in the mortal world..."

"At that time, neither of you is married, and you are both together, talking about love, no one can manage you, even the Heavenly Law cannot manage you!"

"However." Su Chen changed the subject, "This plan sounds simple, but it has one most critical prerequisite."

"What prerequisite?" Tianpeng listened very carefully and asked subconsciously.

"That is, Fairy Chang'e herself must be willing to give up her immortal status for you and come down to the mortal world to find you." Su Chen said, "No one can force her to do this."

Hearing this, Tianpeng said confidently: "Don't worry about this; Chang'e and I are in love with each other. She has me in her heart! As long as she can be with me, I believe she will definitely be willing to give up her immortal status!"

He was full of confidence in the feelings between him and Chang'e.

Back then, outside the Taiyin Star, Chang'e had promised him personally and even held his hand in return.

That shyness, that affection, could not be fake.

Su Chen looked at his confident appearance, but he was muttering in his heart.

"I hope so."

He nodded and said: "Since the Marshal is so confident, then this matter is easy to handle. Then we just need to pass this news to Fairy Chang'e and convince the Taiyin Wuqu Wuqu Xingjun to let her come down to the mortal world, and this matter will be done."

"Taiyin Wuqu Wuqu Xingjun?"

Hearing this title, the smile on Tianpeng's face instantly froze.

"Then it's over; this method of yours definitely won't work." He muttered to himself, the fire of hope that had just ignited in his eyes turning into dead ash again.

Su Chen looked at his reaction and felt a bit strange: "Marshal, what's wrong with you? Isn't it just the Taiyin Wuqu Wuqu Xingjun, is it enough to scare you like this?"

"Enough? It's more than enough!" Marshal Tianpeng raised his head and looked at Su Chen with a bitter face. "Brother, you may not know. That Taiyin Wuqu Wuqu Xingjun is not an ordinary person!"

"She is a primordial god who existed since the beginning of heaven and earth; her seniority, if calculated, is higher than the Jade Emperor."

"This person's temper is famously cold and arrogant, not asking about worldly affairs. She has been in seclusion in the source space of the Taiyin Star for years; let alone me, even if the Jade Emperor came in person, he might not be able to see her."

"Although Chang'e is a fairy of the Heavenly Court in name, in reality, she is more like that person's maid. Now that Chang'e is grounded in Guanghan Palace because of the matter between me and her, that Lady must have been dissatisfied with me for a long time. We still want to beg her to let someone go now? If she doesn't slap us to death, it would be considered her mercy!"

Marshal Tianpeng became more and more desperate as he spoke.

He knew too well how terrifying that Taiyin Wuqu Wuqu Xingjun was.

That was an existence truly standing at the top of the Three Realms, an existence that immortals like them who achieved Dao through later cultivation could only look up to.

Wanting to ask for someone from her hands was simply a daydream.

After listening to Tianpeng's words, Su Chen finally understood why he was so afraid.

It turned out that Tianpeng regarded Changxi as that kind of ancient god who didn't eat the fireworks of the human world and was cold and ruthless.

However, Tianpeng was not wrong.

Changxi's identity, status, and strength were indeed at the top of the Three Realms.

Ordinary immortals would find it as difficult as ascending to heaven to see her, let alone asking her to do something.

However, Su Chen was an exception.

He looked at the dejected Marshal Tianpeng, a smile appearing on his face; he knew the opportunity to win Tianpeng's heart had come.

"Marshal, what if I said that I have some friendship with that Taiyin Wuqu Wuqu Xingjun?"
