Chapter 77: The Proposal of the Ancient Buddha of Burning Lamp!

Heavenly Court.

Lingxiao Treasure Hall.

Ha!

Looking at the stunned Sun Wukong standing in place.

A faint smile flashed in Haotian's eyes.

Back then!

Because of Yao Ji's resurrection! He personally went to Dazhu Peak to express his gratitude to Ye Yang!

As a mighty one of the Three Corpses Quasi-Sage Realm! Haotian had just arrived at Dazhu Peak when he discovered Sun Wukong hiding in the bamboo grove! However! Dazhu Peak is ultimately Ye Yang's dojo!

Since Ye Yang didn't say much more! Haotian naturally wouldn't meddle either! Unexpectedly! This monkey Sun Wukong actually remembered himself! This surprised Haotian somewhat and also gave him some ideas! Know this! In the Buddhist plan! After Sun Wukong ascends to heaven and takes office, he will always maintain an arrogant and overbearing attitude!

And the immortals and gods in the Heavenly Court would also cooperate with Sun Wukong's act, enhancing his prestige in the Three Realms!

But does Haotian really want to act?

Of course he doesn't want to!

As a Great Heavenly Sovereign of the Heavenly Court!

He simply doesn't want to use the Heavenly Court's face to help Sun Wukong establish prestige! But!

The Journey to the West Calamity is a calamity appointed by the Heavenly Dao!

Even if Haotian is extremely unwilling, he dare not oppose the Heavenly Dao!

But now! The plan seems to have encountered an accident! When Sun Wukong first saw Haotian, Haotian was talking with Ye Yang!

At that time, Haotian had not restrained his aura! As long as Sun Wukong isn't a fool! He could tell the gap between himself and Haotian! In such a situation! Would Sun Wukong still dare to be arrogant and overbearing in the Heavenly Court? 'Officials!'

'Are there any vacant divine positions in the Heavenly Court?'

Moments later.

Haotian's gaze shifted, looking down at the numerous immortals and gods.

He grew more and more anticipating Sun Wukong's performance in the Heavenly Court! If Sun Wukong were truly scared witless by him! Wouldn't the Heavenly Court's plan to help Sun Wukong establish prestige then be cancelable?

If Sun Wukong fails to establish prestige in the Three Realms! Then once the Journey to the West Calamity begins, wouldn't there be plenty of amusement?

Such a thought had just arisen!

Haotian's mouth corner involuntarily twitched upward slightly!

'Your Majesty!'

'Promotion of the Bima Wen post of the Imperial Horse Supervisor!'

'The position of Bima Wen can be filled by this Monkey King!'

'.'

Haotian's words had just fallen.

The Martial Virtue Star Lord then stepped forward and made a proposal to Haotian.

As for Haotian's idea! The Martial Virtue Star Lord naturally doesn't know! At this moment, he is following the original plan and performing!

Meanwhile, the remaining immortals and gods in the hall looked at Sun Wukong with ridicule! The position of Bima Wen is a seventh-rank celestial official of the Heavenly Court! Under normal circumstances!

So-called Bima Wen is always held by a heavenly immortal or true immortal! And Sun Wukong's cultivation has already reached the peak of Golden Immortal! Letting Sun Wukong take the Bima Wen post is clearly an insult to Sun Wukong! They all want to see what reaction Sun Wukong will have! 'Is that so!'

'Sun Wukong, are you willing?'

'.'

Upon hearing the Martial Virtue Star Lord's words.

Haotian opened his mouth without hesitation and asked Sun Wukong.

He knew very well that Sun Wukong does not understand the rank of divine positions in the Heavenly Court!

If nothing unexpected happens! Sun Wukong will surely agree!

'All will follow Your Majesty's arrangements!'

'This old monkey is willing, willing!'

Indeed!

Sun Wukong didn't even think, he directly agreed.

At this moment, Sun Wukong no longer had his previous carefree smiling appearance!

As long as he thought of Haotian being an extremely powerful expert!

Sun Wukong's heart would then give rise to a tremendous pressure!

He just wanted to quickly leave the Lingxiao Treasure Hall, not wanting to stay in Haotian's sight!

'Since that's the case!'

'Taibai, you shall take him to report for duty!'

'.'

Seeing Sun Wukong answer so honestly.

Haotian waved his hand and said to the Taibai Golden Star beside him. Through Sun Wukong's absentminded appearance! Haotian had completely determined that Sun Wukong was frightened by him! This made Haotian somewhat curious, as to whether the subsequent havoc in Heavenly Palace could proceed smoothly? 'Yes!'

As Haotian's words fell.

The Taibai Golden Star quickly stepped forward and respectfully replied.

After speaking.

The Taibai Golden Star then grabbed Sun Wukong and headed straight out of the Lingxiao Treasure Hall!

Soon!

When the figures of Taibai Golden Star and Sun Wukong vanished before everyone's eyes! Haotian's voice then echoed in the ears of all immortals!

'Retire from court!'

"Damn it!"

"I actually forgot this matter!"

"This monkey, when he was at Great Bamboo Peak, had already seen Haotian!"

「. 」 -> just a period? Actually line is a quoted period? It's just a dot inside quotes. We'll translate as "."? Probably just ".".

"On the face of Many Treasures Tathagata, an unsightly expression appeared."

"In the Buddhist plan! Sun Wukong needs to cause havoc in the Heavenly Palace, to increase his prestige among the Three Realms!"

"When Sun Wukong's prestige reaches a peak!"

"The Buddhist sect again moves to suppress Sun Wukong!"

"Thus! Before the Journey to the West Tribulation begins! The Buddhist sect's prestige in the Three Realms will be able to receive a great increase!"

"But now! Sun Wukong has obviously been frightened by Haotian!"

"As long as Sun Wukong is not an idiot! He could never do such a reckless act! 'World Honored One, don't be anxious!'"

"'Sun Wukong, he is not a lonely ruler!'"

"'The monkey troop of Flower-Fruit Mountain is Sun Wukong's weakness!'"

"'Just need to make a fuss over the monkey troop!'"

"'Even if Sun Wukong knows the might of the Heavenly Court, he will surely turn against it and become enemies!'"

「. 」 -> just a period.

"Upon hearing Many Treasures Tathagata's words."

"The Ancient Buddha Burning Lamp smiled and said indifferently."

"In the view of the Ancient Buddha Burning Lamp, this pawn Sun Wukong cannot jump out of the board! Since Sun Wukong has been frightened by Haotian, he no longer has his former arrogance and domineering behavior!"

"Then he will create other opportunities, letting Sun Wukong walk toward the opposing side of the Heavenly Court! For the Buddhist sect, this is not a difficult matter!"

"And this Great Heavenly Venerable Haotian, because he dares not act against heaven, can only follow the Buddhist plan! In the end! Sun Wukong will likewise gain fame in the Three Realms! And the Buddhist sect will likewise deliberately suppress Sun Wukong, thereby increasing its prestige in the Three Realms! 'Amitabha!'"

"'It can only be this way!'"

「. 」 -> just a period.

"After the Ancient Buddha Burning Lamp finished speaking."

"Many Treasures Tathagata remained silent for a moment, then nodded."

"'Correct!'"

"'Great Bodhisattva Guanyin!'"

"'Is the netherworld still unwilling to loosen up?'"

"Afterward."

"Many Treasures Tathagata then turned his gaze downward to look at Guanyin!"

"According to the Buddhist plan! Before Sun Wukong goes to heaven to take office, he still needs to cause havoc in the netherworld! Only then!"

"Only then can Sun Wukong's fame in the Three Realms reach its peak!"

"But before Sun Wukong was born, the Wu tribe in the netherworld had clearly agreed to this!"

"But not long ago! The Wu tribe in the netherworld suddenly regretted it!"

"This made Many Treasures Tathagata feel annoyed! But the situation of the netherworld is truly too special! Even Many Treasures Tathagata does not dare to casually turn against the netherworld! He can only let Guanyin and others go to discuss with the Wu tribe of the netherworld, hoping to continue the previous plan! 'Return to the Buddha!'"

"'The Ten Kings of Hell, none are willing to loosen up!'"

"'The Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha is still continually persuading them!'"

「. 」 -> just a period.
