In this old minister’s humble opinion, we might as well use this opportunity to set a trap for that monkey.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Jade Emperor raised an eyebrow but still didn’t understand what the White Star Lord was getting at.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What does the Queen Mother’s Peach Banquet have to do with dealing with that monkey?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your Majesty, the connection is immense,” the White Star Lord explained calmly. “We can send out invitations to every prominent figure across the Three Realms!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And then?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The White Star Lord chuckled. “Then, Your Majesty, we deliberately do not invite Sun Wukong.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not invite him?” The Jade Emperor instantly understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brilliant! Minister Changgeng, this plan is exquisite!” The Jade Emperor couldn’t help but slap his thigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could already picture the scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every immortal across heaven and earth had received an invitation—except him, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, Sun Wukong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he realized that his title of Great Sage Equaling Heaven meant nothing in the eyes of the immortals and gods of the Three Realms, how furious would he be, given his arrogant and self-important nature?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When that happens, he will surely fly into a rage and lose his reason!” the Jade Emperor continued, picking up the White Star Lord’s thread. “If he dares to disrupt the Peach Banquet, it will be an act of defiance against heavenly authority—and then I can justly punish him and force him into the Tribulation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your Majesty is wise!” The White Star Lord bowed deeply, flattering him. “Exactly so. And we need not personally inform him of this news, avoiding any trace of our involvement.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh? Then how will he find out?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your Majesty,” the White Star Lord smiled, “the Queen Mother must send someone to pick peaches from the Peach Garden, mustn’t she? We need only have the fairy maidens who go to gather the peaches casually drop this news to him—and let them, unintentionally, reveal who was invited and who was not.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hahaha!” The Jade Emperor clapped his hands in delight. “Excellent! Perfectly casual, perfectly unintentional. Minister Changgeng, you truly are a master of cunning!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s settled!” The Jade Emperor decided at once. “I shall go speak with the Queen Mother immediately and have her prepare the Peach Banquet in advance!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying this, he rose and hurried off toward the Jade Pool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Jade Pool was a paradise wreathed in auspicious radiance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Queen Mother was in her palace, admiring flowers with several fairy maidens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing the Jade Emperor’s purpose and the White Star Lord’s scheme, a flicker of displeasure crossed the Queen Mother’s dignified and noble face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your Majesty, though this plan is clever, is it worth it for that demon monkey?” the Queen Mother said slowly. “The Peach Banquet is the most solemn event of our Heavenly Court, a time to unite the immortals and gods of the Three Realms and display the Court’s majesty. If that monkey disrupts it, won’t we lose the Heavenly Court’s dignity?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Queen Mother, rest easy,” the Jade Emperor explained. “This great Tribulation was long foreordained by the Two Western Saints and the Three Xuan Saints. That monkey is the destined key to this Tribulation. Even the Saints have made preparations—how can our Heavenly Court stand aside?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The more chaos he causes, the greater the losses to our Court—but the greater the merit we shall reap in the end.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Queen Mother fell silent for a moment, then grasped the stakes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Great Journey Tribulation was a grand tide set by the Saints—unavoidable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Wukong was the crucial link in this Tribulation; he must commit a grave offense to trigger the chain of karmic consequences.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything they were doing now was placing the pivotal move in this grand game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Very well,” the Queen Mother finally nodded. “Then I shall arrange it myself. Command the Seven Fairy Maidens to go to the Peach Garden, gather the immortal peaches, and prepare the grand feast.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, in the Peach Garden, Sun Wukong was dozing atop a peach tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the initial novelty wore off, he found this life utterly boring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His greatest daily pleasure now was lying on the branch of the largest peach tree, legs crossed, fast asleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sigh, this is so dull,” Sun Wukong yawned, leaping down from the tree. “This job of guarding the garden is pointless.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He began to regret it. Had he known it would be this boring, he’d have preferred to spend his days fighting others, as he used to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he was listlessly preparing to find another spot to nap, he suddenly heard a chorus of giggles outside the garden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Wukong’s ears twitched. He flipped over with a somersault, hiding behind a large tree and peering out with his monkey head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several fairy maidens, dressed in colorful cloud-silk robes and with graceful figures, entered the Peach Garden, carrying delicate bamboo baskets and chatting merrily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their light steps and fluttering sleeves moved through the peach grove, adding bright charm to the mist-shrouded garden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they walked, they chattered incessantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sister, who do you think will be invited to this year’s Peach Banquet?” asked a green-robed fairy curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Need you ask?” laughed the red-robed fairy. “Naturally, all the prominent immortals of the Three Realms, as always.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I heard the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother specifically ordered this year’s banquet to be grander than ever!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Really? That’ll be so lively!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Wukong, hidden behind the tree, listened to their chatter and began to wonder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Peach Banquet? Sounds like a lively feast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was bored out of his mind—if he could crash it, it wouldn’t be bad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the seven fairy maidens neared the garden’s interior, Sun Wukong cleared his throat, leapt out from behind the tree, and blocked their path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Stop!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His booming voice startled the giggling maidens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They looked up and saw a monkey with a hairy face and a snout like a thunder god, arms crossed, glaring at them with obvious annoyance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who are you? What are you doing in my Peach Garden?” Sun Wukong barked. “Don’t you know this garden is under my command? Don’t you even bother to announce yourselves before entering?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fairy maidens were terrified by his ferocious appearance and quickly bowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lead red-robed fairy steadied herself, stepped forward, and respectfully replied: “Great Sage, we are fairy maidens of the Queen Mother. Today, by her imperial decree, we have come to gather immortal peaches in preparation for the upcoming Peach Banquet.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh? Peach Banquet?” Sun Wukong feigned surprise. “What Peach Banquet? Why didn’t I hear a word about it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought to himself: I’m the Great Sage Equaling Heaven—such a grand banquet must include me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Probably the invitation hasn’t reached my residence yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The red-robed fairy smiled and explained: “Great Sage, the Peach Banquet is a grand Heavenly Court event, held once every nine thousand years, when the Queen Mother invites all immortals to taste the immortal peaches.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm, I see.” Sun Wukong paced back and forth before the fairy maidens, hands behind his back, pretending to ask casually: “So, who exactly has been invited to this banquet?”\u003C\u002Fp>",1197,"2026-06-21T05:42:07.836Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","b2eff2748ef36078638b93581a6f9bcf6a99cc5253cf99b9aab56cb91f41fc39","i-m-invincible-and-you-tell-me-this-is-journey-t-chapter-88","i-m-invincible-and-you-tell-me-this-is-journey-t-chapter-86",470,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-m-invincible-and-you-tell-me-this-is-journey-t-cover.jpg"]
