Chapter 338: The Number One Rebel of the Heavenly Court!
Boom!
The Great Luo golden light pierced through the heavens and earth, submerging into the Thirty-Three Heavens.
A golden storm surged across the firmament, with rosy clouds and auspicious light spreading across the four seas and four continents, leading toward the Chaos.
Renjian, the Earth Immortal Realm, the Underworld, the Heavenly Court, and the Demon Realm all sensed it in succession.
It had been unknown how many years; it had been a long time since a Great Luo Golden Immortal was born.
The moment Xuanzang achieved the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, the great power of the Great Luo tore through the Sleeve Universe, and taking advantage of this opportunity, Sun Wukong, Bajie, and the other brothers escaped one after another.
Xuanzang stood in the Void, light rotating endlessly around his body, impervious to all methods like a holy being, his aura magnificent.
"What a 'Innate leads the surrounding heavens, covering the changes of the surrounding heavens, transforming into the Great Luo,' marvelous."
Zhenyuanzi saw this scene and was exceptionally impressed, his face full of smiles.
"Is this the realm of the Great Luo?"
Xuanzang felt his own changes; his life level had undergone another transformation, stepping into a different realm.
It is said that the Great Luo is omnipotent, able to roam the endless space-time at will, Undying and indestructible, with the past, future, and present as one.
But upon careful realization, Xuanzang felt it was still lacking quite a bit.
Undying and indestructible is only relatively indestructible.
Roaming the endless space-time, yet there exist heavy barriers of space-time.
The past, present, and future are one.
Xuanzang still could not see his own past or his future self; it was all a blur.
According to logic, he was the reincarnation of Jinchanzi, and having cultivated to the Great Luo, he should be able to peer into his past and present lives, but the past nine lives left not a single trace.
Is the problem huge?
"Is it a problem of the realm, or a problem of myself?" Xuanzang thought to himself.
Accompanying the end of his breakthrough, the Three Realms also experienced phenomena that shocked heaven and moved ghosts and gods.
Everything from the Great Dao celebrating, rosy clouds and strange colors, Golden Lotus springing from the earth, to Qilin appearing in the world—all of it happened.
"Master, Master has really become a Great Luo Golden Immortal," Bajie shouted excitedly.
"This is the Great Luo Golden Immortal, so strong!" Sun Wukong stared intently.
Even though his Fiery Eyes could see through the truth, falsehood, illusions, and secret powers of Qi Luck in the world, at this moment, he could not see through his master in the slightest.
"Master, a model for us all," Xiaobailong said with admiration.
"I have a Great Luo Golden Immortal master now," Heixiong roared excitedly.
This was a Great Luo Golden Immortal, a true Great Luo Golden Immortal, a top-tier existence in the Three Realms.
Thirty-Three Heavens, Tushita Palace.
"A Great Luo Golden Immortal, it has been a long time since one appeared."
On a prayer mat, an old man with white hair wearing a Bagua Taoist robe slowly opened his eyes. In the old man's eyes, black and white yin and yang differentiated; they appeared turbid, yet they seemed to evolve the Chaos and reopen the heavens and earth, unfathomable.
"Jinchanzi is Xuanzang, but Xuanzang is not Jinchanzi!"
"Interesting, interesting."
The old man said in a low voice; he was the master of Tushita Palace, Taishang Laojun.
He was also the clone of the Taiqing Saint, the leader of the Human Teachings, who had always sat in the Heavenly Court, enjoying immense Qi Luck.
For an existence like Taishang Laojun, there were almost no secrets in the Three Realms.
But from the moment Xuanzang advanced to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, Xuanzang was no longer someone they could control.
High Heaven Palace.
"Xuanzang has actually become a Great Luo Golden Immortal."
The Queen Mother's expression was shocked; she had just been discussing matters with the Jade Emperor and the gathered immortals.
But the phenomenon of a Great Luo Golden Immortal appearing shocked the Three Realms; it was hard not to notice.
Existences like them only needed to pinch their fingers to calculate and know what had happened.
"Incredible, how did this reincarnation of Jinchanzi become a Great Luo Golden Immortal?" The Jade Emperor also exclaimed repeatedly.
One must know that Jinchanzi himself only had the Buddhist and Taoist cultivation of a Golden Immortal at completion.
Golden Immortal and Great Luo Golden Immortal seem to be only one step apart.
But the distance of this step is 108,000 miles, or perhaps even more exaggerated.
The gathered immortals below the High Heaven Palace, besides being shocked, fell into deep worry.
Xuanzang was suddenly this strong; this Journey to the West would likely be unable to continue, and they would probably have to resort to real weapons.
Yang Jian's expression was depressed; he even wanted to complain.
Is this Xuanzang cheating?
Not long ago he was still a Golden Immortal; although he had been beaten by him, theoretically the realm was the same.
How long has it been, and he has already advanced to the Great Luo.
Where does that leave him, the first among the third generation of the Three Teachings?
"My beloved ministers, what is your take on this matter?" The Jade Emperor asked.
The immortals heard this and revealed thoughtful expressions.
"Your Majesty, no matter what, this Xuanzang is a person of Buddhism, and that is a Great Luo of Buddhism; it is of no benefit to the Heavenly Court," said the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li Jing.
"Hmph, Rulai has indeed taken in a good disciple," Sanxiao Niangniang said coldly, her gaze turning icy.
The immortals of the Heavenly Court who belonged to the Jie Sect looked on with hatred, wishing they could destroy Rulai.
During that war of gods back then, the Western Sect took advantage of the chaos to dig out the foundation of the Jie Sect, and this Rulai himself was a personal disciple of the Jie Sect Saint, yet he was converted by the Western Saint.
In the eyes of the Jie Sect immortals, Rulai was a traitor.
"Not necessarily. I see this Xuanzang has a rebellious nature. Now that he has become a Great Luo Golden Immortal, I fear he will break free from the control of Buddhism. Do not forget why Jinchanzi reincarnated back then," Taibai Jinxing said.
"That makes sense. It is time to give that old bald thief Rulai a headache," the Jade Emperor laughed.
"But Your Majesty, for the sake of the Journey to the West, our Heavenly Court is also involved. I fear there will be casualties in the future. This account should be recalculated; the resources Lingshan paid previously are no longer enough," Taibai Jinxing said.
"Right, right, right. We must ask for more money. It is not easy for our Heavenly Court to cooperate with them," Li Jing chimed in.
The Jade Emperor observed this and asked Wangmu Niangniang, who was beside him, "Wangmu, what is your take?"
"The affairs of the Three Realms are managed by the Jade Emperor; you need not ask me," Wangmu said.
The Jade Emperor smiled and said, "Taibai, then I shall leave this matter to you. Go and negotiate with Buddhism; you must handle it well. If you fail, I will have no choice but to send you to the mortal world to experience life and keep Tianpeng company."
"What the hell..."
Upon hearing this, Taibai Jinxing's composure nearly shattered.
Look, is that even human language?
A mortal world experience card?
There was no help for it; the Jade Emperor was his superior, and he could hardly refuse.
He could only say earnestly, "Your Majesty, this humble immortal will certainly not fail the mission."
"Taibai, His Majesty is being good to you. He is even giving you a vacation to the mortal world," Li Jing laughed.
Looking at the gloating Li Jing, Taibai could not help but say, "Your Majesty, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King served as an official for many years while in the mortal world. He must be well-versed in the arts of officialdom and handle such things with ease. The Buddhas of the West are silver-tongued and eloquent; I fear this humble immortal alone cannot withstand them.
Why not have Your Majesty send Li Tianwang to assist this humble immortal in negotiating with Buddhism?"
The Jade Emperor knew exactly what Taibai was thinking and said:
"Very well. Li Jing, you go as well, and secure more benefits for the Heavenly Court. Otherwise, you too shall go to the mortal world to train and keep Tianpeng company."
"Good, good, good!"
A round of applause rang out, and there stood a delicately carved, red-clad girl clapping her hands together, looking emotionally moved and deeply touched.
Everyone looked over; who else could it be but Nezha?
Truly a scene of a loving father and a filial daughter!
Li Jing's face turned black; this rebellious daughter was truly insubordinate.
"What are you clapping for, Nezha?" Li Jing rebuked angrily.
"I heard Father is going down to the mortal world to experience life, so I am wishing Father a smooth journey and favorable weather," Nezha said crisply.
The Jade Emperor watched this scene and shook his head.
This Nezha, she is useless at everything, but number one at causing trouble.
Of her hundred-pound body, only two pounds are lotus root powder; the remaining ninety-eight are entirely rebellious bones.
