Chapter 174: The Number One Tribulation-Passing Expert in the Three Realms

The Wang Fu could not answer the Jade Emperor's question, nor did she want to delve into this question, only saying lightly: "It's not the first time, what does it matter.

If you forcibly distort the result that has become reality, you will only create greater karma.

The gods and Buddhas of the heavens will only mock you and our Heavenly Court even more.

And at this time, the 'Thirty-Year Qin Han Great Tribulation' has officially kicked off, you definitely don't want to be involved in it and reincarnate again, right?"

The Heavenly Emperor is not always sitting high above the Hall of High Heaven.

From the opening of the world to the present, he has experienced more than 1,700 great tribulations and more than 103,200 small tribulations (ps).

The great tribulation of all living beings is the "Heavenly Great Tribulation," just like the Qin Han Great Tribulation happening at this time.

Small tribulations are "Human Tribulations," personal tribulations.

For example, the Jade Emperor once reincarnated as a mortal "Zhang Bairen."

Zhang Bairen's tribulation was not a Heavenly Great Tribulation, but his personal tribulation.

So even as noble as the Heavenly Emperor, if he is involved in too much karma and killing tribulations, he may personally descend to the lower realm to pass tribulations.

"I have experienced the most tribulations in the world, do you think I will still be afraid?" the Jade Emperor said.

——I am a tribulation-passing expert, the number one tribulation-passing person in the Three Realms, no one has experienced more tribulations than me, and no one's tribulation-passing experience is as rich as mine!

Uh, although it's a bit over-interpreted, the reason the Jade Emperor can become the Heavenly Emperor is because he has experienced the most tribulations in the Three Realms.

Even the Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect are afraid of karma and great tribulations, but he is not afraid of great tribulations, killing tribulations, or small tribulations at all.

In fact, he still won't miss this Qin Han Great Tribulation.

The Jade Emperor then said: "I won't go to find Yu Phoenix Fairy now.

I am the Heavenly Emperor, and I will never go back on my word!

The gambling agreement between her and me, witnessed by Heaven and Earth, witnessed by the gods, and known by mortals, even I must bear the responsibility of a witness and will not allow anyone to change it.

From now on, the karma of the sentence 'even God cannot protect Zhu Tong' ends at this moment.

Her rebellious and slanderous words, her roundabout mockery of me in front of the Three Realms, and even her beheading Ge Qing in front of the Three Realms, slapping my face, I accept it all.

Admit defeat if you lose.

The old karma is ended.

But she humiliated Heaven so much, and created new karma with me.

I want to take revenge on her, and even more want to subdue her, making her completely acknowledge the justice and majesty of the Heavenly Emperor, but I cannot go to find her... so, tonight or tomorrow morning, I will enter the world to reincarnate again."

The Jade Emperor of the Thirty-Three Heavens was manipulated by Yu Phoenix Fairy's words and had to acknowledge the "Heaven's Will Gambling Agreement" witnessed by the gods and Buddhas of Heaven and Earth. 【17

But a mortal in the human world, even the reincarnation of the Jade Emperor, is still considered "another person," and he can find trouble for Yu Fengxian.

Upon hearing this, the Wang Fu merely furrowed her delicate brows and said, "Call Taibai Xingjun over. You should discuss it before making a decision."

"Even without Yu Fengxian, I would not miss this Qin Han Great Tribulation," the Jade Emperor said.

The corners of the Wang Fu's mouth twitched slightly. *Would not miss it... *

—You truly treat undergoing tribulations as an enjoyment!

"Even if you want to reincarnate, you must choose a virtuous place and find virtuous parents, right? After reincarnation, you will still need 'mentors' to look after and guide you, right? He is an expert in this field, and his experience is the richest in the Three Realms," the Wang Fu said.

The Jade Emperor's experience in undergoing tribulations is the best in the world.

The experience of the lackey Li Changgeng in assisting immortals through their tribulations is the best in the world.

There is nothing wrong with this!

The Jade Emperor nodded and said, "Summon Li Changgeng to the Jade Pool to see me."

The Rolling Curtain General at the entrance responded with a "Yes."

The matter of Yu Fengxian had not yet reached a conclusion, so Taibai Xingjun had not left at all.

Hearing the immortal official summon him to audience with the Jade Emperor, he felt not the slightest surprise, nor did he delay, immediately arriving again below the desk in front of the Jade Emperor and the Wang Fu.

"Your Majesty, this humble minister has a matter to report."

The Jade Emperor said, "I also have something to discuss with you. The Qin Han Great Tribulation has now begun, and this tribulation will last for thirty years.

For the first ten years, Empress Dowager Zhao will oversee the state, the Qin lands will face constant minor unrest, and the tribulation of demonic disasters from all directions will be unending.

Ten years later, Zhao Gao will collude internally with Li Si and externally with Yu Yu, beheading Empress Dowager Zhao and the Xinyang Prince Lao Ai, and will enthrone Hu Hai to succeed as the Second Emperor of Qin.

Subsequently, Hu Hai will order Fusu to commit suicide, unjustly execute the two Meng family generals, the Northwest Army will collapse, the northern defense line will fall, and the Xiongnu, supported by the demon race, will march south into the Central Plains.

In the twenty years that follow, there will be the rebellion to destroy Qin, the great war between the demon and human races, and the final Chu-Han Contention.

I intend to participate in the final battle of the Chu-Han Contention.

My beloved minister, help me deliberate a little and choose a virtuous place first, so that I may go and be reborn."

Taibai Xingjun had not expected the Jade Emperor to be looking for him for the purpose of reincarnation.

Although the Jade Emperor was a famous "Tribulation-Passing Expert" in the Three Realms who had experienced countless reincarnations, he was still startled to hear him suddenly say he wanted to take the initiative to descend to the mortal realm to undergo a tribulation.

After all, what is happening is a Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth, the chaos of the Qin Han!

When other immortals speak of the "Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth," they often look solemn, their brows furrowed with inescapable sorrow.

Hearing that the Great Tribulation has come again and that they have karma involved and might be dragged into it, they are often terrified to the point of turning pale and trembling in their boots.

Yet this master is so fierce that it's a complete mess, actually taking the initiative to throw himself into the Great Tribulation.

He even listed a timetable, specifically choosing the middle and late stages of the Great Tribulation, when the intensity is at its highest.

Too brave; no wonder he is the Jade Emperor.

Taibai Xingjun forced himself to calm down, considered it seriously for a long time, and said, "Your Majesty, the matter this humble minister wishes to report to you concerns Yu Fengxian.

The Qin Han Great Tribulation lasts thirty years; what major events happen each year and how many heroes and catastrophes emerge during the Great Tribulation are all determined.

But the appearance of Yu Fengxian has brought new variables to a future that was already determined.

As for how it will change specifically, this humble minister is not entirely clear.

Before the Great Qin dispatched the Daoist Qingsong of the Taiyi Zhengyang Palace to serve as a special envoy to the Western Sha Region, the 'Map of Myriad Nations' Astrology' did not change much.

The Qin Han Great Tribulation was already determined.

But the moment the Daoist Qingsong observed the national destiny of the Shaqiu Kingdom from the Meng Xingchen-Observing Platform in the Western Shu capital of Luodu, using the heavenly mandate of the Shu King, the star map immediately changed.

The life star representing Yu Fengxian suddenly jumped out of the Shaqiu national destiny star map and into this humble minister's 'Map of Myriad Nations' Astrology,' and for a moment, its light shone brilliantly, with a tendency to suppress the surrounding life stars.

Although it was very brief, this is a portent.

Thanks to Your Majesty's favor, this humble minister bears the responsibility of regulating yin and yang and monitoring the stars.

After experiencing that anomaly, this humble minister has kept Yu Fengxian in mind ever since.

It just so happens that during this morning's court session, the Underworld sent the 'Roster of Virtuous and Righteous People in the Human World,' and 'Righteousness Reaching the Clouds Yu Fengxian' is ranked first in this period's 'Benevolence and Righteousness List.'

This humble minister had a thought—since Yu Fengxian might be an unstable factor interfering with the heavenly mandate and also possesses the legacy of ancient sages, why not recruit her to the Heavenly Court and find some place to settle her?

As long as she enters the Heavenly Court system, no matter how much she could stir things up in the past, she will be obedient and follow Your Majesty's decree."

"You have a heart, my beloved minister." The Jade Emperor nodded, acknowledging Taibai Xingjun's diligence and sense of duty.

Taibai Xingjun was a little excited and also a little moved, saying, "This humble minister previously sought an audience with Your Majesty because there is a hidden worry in my heart.

Although Yu Fengxian jumped into the 'Map of Myriad Nations' Astrology,' she did not lean toward any particular faction.

Her life star is suppressing all the stars around it equally, neither leaning nor favoring.

But now, Your Majesty and she..."

He paused and said tactfully, "She is very clever and also very arrogant; there is a hint of mockery toward Your Majesty in her words."

"Hmph, you don't need to make excuses for her. It's not 'a hint'; she is completely mocking me," the Jade Emperor said coldly.

—You arranged for Ge Qing, whom she hates most and looks down upon most, to descend to the mortal realm and use a golden mallet to strike her; it would be normal for her to have fire in her heart. Actually, it's very abnormal; a normal person facing the Heavenly Emperor's decree would have no heart to resist and would directly accept their fate.

Taibai Xingjun muttered to himself.

Muttering was one thing, but while he could understand Yu Fengxian, he did not identify from his heart with her behavior of mocking the Jade Emperor.

If the ruler is humiliated, the minister dies!

She was not just slapping the Jade Emperor's face.

This time, the faces of all the immortals in the Heavenly Court were burning with pain along with the Jade Emperor.

"Your Majesty, please observe clearly. There is a village saying that goes well: loaches need to be coaxed, and babies need to be pampered.

Isn't Yu Fengxian just an eleven-year-old, overbearing big baby?

To deal with such a proud and pampered baby, you have to coax her to walk in the direction Your Majesty points.

Of course, Your Majesty is the Lord of the Three Realms and has countless major affairs to handle every day; this small matter of coaxing a baby can be left to this humble minister."

The Jade Emperor said, "What is the use of saying this now? This time I descend to the mortal realm to undergo a tribulation, I am determined to be her adversary, to have a good fight, and to let everyone see whether I can protect the person she wants to kill!

Hmm, when I undergo the tribulation, I must also take the souls of Ge Qing, Zhu Tong, and Luo Kai with me.

We will go to be reincarnated together.

They are so useless that they make me burn with nameless fire.

I wish I could bring them back to life, then push them to the Execution Platform and slice them a hundred times—"

"Watch your words!" the Wang Fu scolded with majesty. "These words should not come from the mouth of the Heavenly Emperor."

The Jade Emperor's expression changed slightly, and he sighed, "The Wang Fu's lesson is correct; I lost my composure.

I hate their incompetence, but in order to make Yu Fengxian lose with conviction and thoroughly acknowledge the fairness and majesty of the Heavenly Emperor, I must take them on this trip."

Taibai Xingjun mourned for Ge Qing, Zhu Tong, and the others a hundred times in his heart.

The will of the Heavenly Emperor is the will of Heaven.

Even if it is a slip of the tongue under the influence of anger, it will inevitably form a heavenly mandate.

In the future, Ge Qing, Zhu Tong, and the others will inevitably be pushed to the Execution Platform and sliced a hundred times to fulfill the karma of today's words.

"Your Majesty, what this humble minister means is that because of the friction with Your Majesty, and also because of Yu Fengxian's naturally rebellious and arrogant nature, her originally impartial stance in the 'Map of Myriad Nations' Astrology' will change.

She will intentionally defy the heavenly mandate!

That is why this humble minister previously requested to descend to the mortal realm to use education to make her understand reason, and to bestow grace to make her feel Your Majesty's fairness and majesty.

Thereby avoiding her intentionally defying the heavenly mandate during the Qin Han Great Tribulation.

Now that Your Majesty is not staying in the Thirty-Three Heavens to preside over the overall situation and prevent Yu Fengxian from disrupting it, but instead is personally descending to the mortal realm to be her adversary... undoubtedly, Your Majesty's 'incarnation' will inevitably stand on the side of the heavenly mandate.

Isn't this forcing Yu Fengxian to defy the heavenly mandate even more?"

The Wang Fu was somewhat puzzled and said, "Yu Fengxian is indeed a bit strange, but why does my beloved minister attach such importance to her?

In every Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth, there have been countless people who tried to block the heavenly mandate, including many ancient powerhouses.

For example, the immortals of the Jie Sect during the Great Tribulation of the Enthronement of Gods.

No one has ever succeeded.

No matter how great the miraculous power, there is always another miraculous power that can restrain it.

In the thirty-year Qin Han Great Tribulation, countless heroes will emerge, including the greatest divine general of all time, the greatest military genius of all time, and the greatest strategist of all time—the Central Plains is a land of heroes, so how could it be the turn of a mere Sha barbarian to reign supreme?"

Taibai Xingjun said, "This humble minister does not believe that Yu Fengxian can be invincible in the world; there must be countless heroes stronger than her.

But as the saying goes, one rat dropping can spoil a whole pot of soup.

She cannot accomplish great things herself, but can't she spoil things?

To accomplish great things requires a thousand hardships and dangers; to spoil things only requires sufficient determination."

"Determination alone is not enough. How many people in the world are filled with resentment and have the determination to drag heaven and earth to destruction with them? Yet heaven and earth are eternal, and the Great Dao is supreme," the Wang Fu said.

Taibai Xingjun repeated his previous words, saying, "When Yu Fengxian's life star jumped into the 'Map of Myriad Nations' Astrology' that day, the radiance it emitted caused all the stars around it to lose their luster.

Even if it was only for an instant, this humble minister remembers it vividly.

This humble minister understands that when a life star erupts, its light is particularly brilliant, which does not mean she is stronger than everyone else.

But this at least shows she has the ability to disrupt the situation."

These words left the Wang Fu unable to refute.

(PS: The Jade Emperor has undergone tribulations over 1,700 times, according to the original text of *Journey to the West*; the Jade Emperor has undergone tribulations over 100,000 times, according to the Daoist *Jade Emperor Scripture*.)
