Chapter 103: Heavenly Court! Buddhist Sect! Divergent Thoughts!

Heavenly Court.

Lofty Heavens Treasure Hall.

"What?"

Haotian sprang to his feet, a look of shock flashing across his face.

Every time Sun Wukong went to Great Bamboo Peak, Haotian would constantly keep an eye on him! No way! Although Ye Yang was in closed-door cultivation in the meditation chamber!

But powerful cultivators, even during closed-door cultivation, can still sense the outside situation!

In other words! Every time Sun Wukong appeared at Great Bamboo Peak, Ye Yang was aware of it! Therefore!

Haotian wanted to know whether Ye Yang would pay attention to Sun Wukong! And that's exactly why! When Sun Wukong was moved to the foot of Great Bamboo Peak!

Haotian immediately noticed! And Ye Yang's words to Sun Wukong were not deliberately concealed!

As a strong cultivator at the Three Corpses Quasi-Sage realm, Haotian naturally heard everything clearly!

Ye Yang, he was truly moved by Sun Wukong!

As long as Sun Wukong passes Ye Yang's test!

Sun Wukong could then become Ye Yang's disciple! This made Haotian's heart stir! If Sun Wukong truly became Ye Yang's disciple!

Then, for the Heavenly Court, Sun Wukong's value would be enormous!

"Your Majesty?"

"Your Majesty, why are you like this?"

"Your Majesty, what's wrong?"

"."

Seeing Haotian's action.

The civil and military immortals below, their faces showed a hint of doubt.

They differed from Haotian! They would not constantly monitor Sun Wukong's situation!

So, they did not know that Sun Wukong was currently undergoing Ye Yang's test!

They only saw Haotian suddenly rise from the dragon throne, a look of shock on his face!

This left all the immortals' hearts filled with confusion!

As the Great Heavenly Venerable of the Heavenly Court, Haotian is nominally the lord of the three realms! What exactly happened to make Haotian so surprised? Feeling the gazes of the immortals.

Haotian quickly calmed down and casually waved his hand.

A stream of light appeared, transforming into an ancient simple treasure mirror!

This is the supreme innate spiritual treasure that Haotian commands—the Heavenly Mirror!

As Haotian's mana surged, the Heavenly Mirror trembled slightly, bursting forth with divine light! In the next moment, the scene at the foot of Great Bamboo Peak appeared within the Heavenly Mirror! "This is. Great Sage?"

"Is this Great Bamboo Peak?"

"Is this monkey climbing Great Bamboo Peak?"

"Something's off, why is this monkey so disheveled?"

"Could it be that this monkey provoked Immortal Ye Yang and was driven out of Great Bamboo Peak?"

"."

Looking at the scene within the Heavenly Mirror.

The doubt on the immortals' faces grew stronger.

They all knew that Sun Wukong went to Great Bamboo Peak every day!

But Sun Wukong actually has the cultivation of a peak Golden Immortal! To go to Great Bamboo Peak, he only needs a single flight to get there! Yet now! Sun Wukong is at the foot of Great Bamboo Peak, slowly climbing toward the summit! And!

Sun Wukong's climbing of Great Bamboo Peak also shows such a strenuous appearance!

This left the immortals full of puzzlement, not knowing what Sun Wukong was doing? Could it be that he wants to put on a show to move Immortal Ye Yang?

"Alright!"

"Don't guess wildly!"

"This is the test given by Daoist Friend Ye Yang!"

"As long as Sun Wukong can ascend Great Bamboo Peak!"

"Then he can become Daoist Friend Ye Yang's disciple!"

"."

Hearing the immortals' discussion.

Haotian smiled, then spoke to explain.

He guessed right!

Ye Yang, he truly is willing to give Sun Wukong a chance! As long as Sun Wukong can pass Ye Yang's test!

Sun Wukong's fate will then undergo a great change!

You must know! When Sun Wukong ascended to heaven the second time! He actually commanded Tai Bai Golden Star, secretly giving pointers to Sun Wukong! If Sun Wukong could become Ye Yang's disciple! Then the foreshadowing he previously buried could directly reap Sun Wukong's friendship!

Thus! The Heavenly Court could then rely on Sun Wukong to become an invisible ally!

By then! If Haotian wanted to revive the Heavenly Court's prestige, it would be far too easy!

Xi Niu He Zhou.

Spirit Mountain.

Mahavira Hall.

"Impudent!"

"How dare he!"

Just a mere Mixed Yuan Golden Immortal, actually dares to dream of defying heaven?

Different from Haotian's expectation!

At this moment, Duobao Tathagata's eyes blazed with raging fury!

Regarding Sun Wukong's going to Great Bamboo Peak, Duobao Tathagata has always known!

He also knew Sun Wukong's purpose was to become a disciple of Ye Yang!

However! Duobao Tathagata did not stop Sun Wukong!

In Duobao Tathagata's view, Ye Yang was unwilling to intervene in the Journey to the West Calamity!

Or rather!

Ye Yang dared not intervene in the Journey to the West Calamity, nor defy the will of Heaven! After all!

Although Ye Yang possessed the cultivation of a Mixed Yuan Golden Immortal and was even the foremost alchemist of the Three Realms, before the Heavenly Dao he remained but an ant—unless Ye Yang had grown weary of life!

Otherwise, Ye Yang simply wouldn't bother with Sun Wukong—yet he did!

Duobao Tathagata miscalculated! Ye Yang actually gave Sun Wukong an opportunity—if Sun Wukong could pass the test, he would take him as a disciple!

This is something Duobao Tathagata cannot tolerate! Originally!

Sun Wukong's becoming a disciple of Subhuti was a scheme of the Buddhist sect! Moreover, when Subhuti taught Sun Wukong, he was merely going through the motions! To some extent!

Sun Wukong is hardly Subhuti's disciple at all! But Ye Yang is different!

Ye Yang is not a Buddhist cultivator! If Ye Yang took Sun Wukong as a disciple, it would be a true master-disciple relationship! As Sun Wukong's master!

Ye Yang would certainly provide protection for Sun Wukong! With Ye Yang's intervention, the Buddhist sect's scheming against Sun Wukong would have to be cautious!

Most importantly!

Sun Wukong is the protagonist of the Journey to the West Calamity! Once the Journey to the West Calamity is successfully completed, Sun Wukong will also gain considerable heavenly merit!

As long as Sun Wukong refines this heavenly merit, he can at least reach the peak of a Golden Immortal of the Grand Luo! To the Buddhist sect, that would be a powerful enforcer!

Therefore!

As the leader of the Buddhist sect, Duobao Tathagata naturally does not want Sun Wukong to be snatched away by Ye Yang!

"Namo Amitabha!"

"World-Honored One, please calm down!"

"This monkey has not yet passed the test!"

"Perhaps!"

"This is merely a method used by Fellow Daoist Ye Yang to pacify Sun Wukong!"

"."

Duobao Tathagata's words had just fallen.

The Ancient Buddha Ran Deng then shook his head and spoke softly to console.

Regarding Ye Yang's testing of Sun Wukong, Ran Deng actually had a different opinion! Every so often, Sun Wukong would go to Great Bamboo Peak! His intention to become Ye Yang's disciple was never concealed in the slightest! Indeed!

Ye Yang might be moved by Sun Wukong's sincerity! However!

Besides!

Isn't there another possibility!

Sun Wukong's visits were too frequent, causing Ye Yang to feel aversion!

But Sun Wukong is the protagonist of the Journey to the West Calamity, with a special status! Ye Yang also dared not casually take on Sun Wukong! Therefore, Ye Yang devised a test, hoping to make Sun Wukong retreat upon seeing the difficulty!

Compared to the first possibility, Ran Deng leans more toward the second!

Ye Yang is likely unwilling to take Sun Wukong as a disciple!

The reason is simple! Who would go against the Heavenly Dao for the sake of a disciple!
