What is your wise counsel, Jin Xing?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tai Bai Jin Xing spoke calmly: “Your Majesty, Heaven cherishes life. That demon monkey was born of Heaven and Earth, newly attained human form, ignorant of celestial order and etiquette—hence his transgressions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If we act without inquiry and immediately mobilize troops to punish him, first, the beings of the Three Realms may resent us;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>second, that demon monkey wields great power and commands seventy-two demon kings. If war truly breaks out, our celestial army will surely suffer heavy losses.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then what do you suggest, my loyal minister?” asked the Jade Emperor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tai Bai Jin Xing smiled faintly, confident: “In this old minister’s view, we should offer him amnesty and bring him to Heaven.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Amnesty?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At these words, all the celestial ministers froze in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the Jade Emperor showed a look of astonishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tai Bai Jin Xing continued calmly: “Your Majesty, any mortal being with cultivation may be summoned to Tiangong, granted an official post, and brought under control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since that demon monkey calls himself ‘Qitian Dasheng,’ he must be one who craves fame and glory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why not go with the flow, issue a decree of amnesty, grant him an official title, and summon him to the celestial realm?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, we keep him under our very eyes—every move he makes, within our control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he accepts his post in good faith, we avoid war entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he remains defiant and stirs trouble again, only then may we punish him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the Nine Heavens, even if he possesses boundless power, he gains no advantage.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, Tai Bai Jin Xing stroked his long beard, wearing a smile of perfect assurance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The immortals in the hall, upon hearing this, all felt Tai Bai Jin Xing’s words were sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Li Jing, who had moments ago shouted for war, frowned deeply in thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Jade Emperor clapped his hands in approval: “Jin Xing’s words suit me perfectly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately issued an edict: “Then the matter of amnesty shall be entrusted entirely to you, Jin Xing. I grant you full authority to act as you see fit!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This old minister obeys Your Majesty’s decree!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tai Bai Jin Xing bowed deeply to receive the order.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having received the Jade Emperor’s command, Tai Bai Jin Xing did not delay. He immediately took leave of the Jade Emperor and the immortals, turning and exiting Lingxiao Bao Dian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stepped upon auspicious clouds, transforming into a streak of light, speeding directly toward the mortal realm, toward the eastern Shenzhou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Along the way, he was in high spirits, humming an unfamiliar tune.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his view, this mission was as easy as plucking an apple—simple and pleasant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His descent to the mortal realm was no different from a paid vacation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, a magnificent immortal mountain, wreathed in divine mist and breathtaking scenery, appeared before his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm, that must be Huaguo Mountain.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tai Bai Jin Xing descended from his clouds, suppressing his divine radiance, appearing more like a kind, grandfatherly old man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He adjusted his robes, wore a gentle smile, and walked steadily toward the Water Curtain Cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he had gone far, a rustling came from the forest ahead, and a large group of monkeys burst forth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each monkey held wooden staves, spears, swords, and halberds, surrounding him with bared teeth and hostile expressions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lead monkey was the same one who had once blocked Su Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Tai Bai Jin Xing, he stepped forward and barked: “Halt! Old man, who are you? What business do you have on Huaguo Mountain?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hehehe…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tai Bai Jin Xing looked at the furry little creatures and felt no anger—only affection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He flicked his fly whisk and spoke kindly: “Little monkeys, cease your rudeness. I am a celestial deity from above, bearing the Jade Emperor’s sacred decree to summon your Great King to Heaven for an official post. Go inform him quickly—do not delay this great matter.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Summon him to Heaven for an official post?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old monkey paused, his monkey face filled with doubt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sized up Tai Bai Jin Xing, sensing something untrustworthy about this smiling old man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But since he was an envoy, he dared not neglect him: “Then please wait here, old divine envoy. I shall report to the Great King at once!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old monkey replied, then gave a subtle glance to a clever young monkey beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Telling them to watch Tai Bai Jin Xing, he sprinted back toward the Water Curtain Cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the Water Curtain Cave at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Wukong lay lazily on his throne, legs crossed, gnawing on a peach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During Su Chen’s seclusion, his days had grown dull.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without his younger brother to chat with, drink, and boast, something vital was missing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bored, Sun Wukong yawned, preparing for a nap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The messenger monkey rushed in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Great King! Great King!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s the rush?” Sun Wukong snapped, his drowsiness shattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old monkey panted, bowing: “An old man has come from below. He claims to be a celestial immortal sent by the Jade Emperor, summoning Your Majesty to Heaven for an official post!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Wukong leapt from his throne in an instant, eyes wide with shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The celestial court had sent someone?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Summoning Old Sun to Heaven for an official post?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mind flashed back to the words Su Chen had spoken that night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Big Brother, the celestial court will inevitably notice you. To preserve their dignity and control you, they’ll almost certainly send someone to summon you to Heaven.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If that day comes, you must absolutely refuse!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Once you go, you step into a trap they’ve laid for you. Then, call to Heaven and no answer, call to Earth and no reply—you’ll regret it too late!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s a trap!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Wukong shuddered violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His face hardened with suspicion and caution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Little Brother’s words have all come true.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He now had not the slightest doubt about Su Chen’s words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So! You celestial court bastards truly have no good intentions!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Wukong’s eyes flashed with fury; golden light flickered in his hand—the Ruyi Jingu Bang appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He longed to rush out and smash that so-called immortal into pulp with one blow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he paused, reconsidering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could not yet openly break with the celestial court.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he struck down the envoy now, wouldn’t that be a declaration of war?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the celestial army descended, he himself didn’t care—but what of the monkeys of Huaguo Mountain?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, I must not act rashly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Wukong forced himself to calm down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes darted, and he quickly devised a plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmph! Old Sun will see what tricks these celestial court immortals are hiding!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He ordered the messenger monkey: “Go, bring that immortal from below to me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Children!” Sun Wukong called loudly to the monkeys within the cave, “Prepare wine, fruits, and delicacies—the celestial envoy is arriving!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, Great King!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The monkeys chorused in unison, each taking up their duties to prepare the reception.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Wukong nodded in satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sat back on his throne and tucked the Ruyi Jingu Bang behind his ear.\u003C\u002Fp>",1245,"2026-06-21T05:42:07.836Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","0bfe8b7b4dde859725aec14629f443ef93a0e450cfb94d88a7675f4cf9a65c9c","i-m-invincible-and-you-tell-me-this-is-journey-t-chapter-57","i-m-invincible-and-you-tell-me-this-is-journey-t-chapter-55",470,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-m-invincible-and-you-tell-me-this-is-journey-t-cover.jpg"]
