Chapter 145: Running wild on a Saint

"Rest assured," Sun Wukong said. "Since these flat peaches have appeared before me, then even if I pick them clean, there shouldn't be any trouble. The truly good flat peaches must have already been hidden away by Wang Mu."

Having said this, Sun Wukong curled his lip.

If one were to speak of Sun Wukong's true strength now, he was already a genuine Daluo Jinxian, not the Taiyi Jinxian from the original history.

Therefore, while staying in the Flat Peach Garden, he could still vaguely sense a Quasi-Saint power shrouding a certain part of the garden.

That was likely the place Sun Wukong could not enter.

Otherwise, for the sake of agreeing to the Western Fomen, placing such a precious Innate Spiritual Root before Sun Wukong would have been impossible no matter what.

The Western Fomen did not have that much face.

In the future, the situation with the Ginseng Fruit Tree of Zhenyuanzi at Wuzhuang Temple would be the same.

Innate Spiritual Roots are not so easily killed.

"Alright, I understand," Tianpeng nodded. "Then let us begin."

Just like that, Sun Wukong took Tianpeng and began picking the flat peaches from the trees; it was truly like a plague of locusts, not leaving even a single peach behind.

Only bare, bald trees remained.

As for the original land god of the Flat Peach Garden, upon discovering this situation and wanting to intervene, he was knocked unconscious by Sun Wukong and Tianpeng.

The famous Marshal Tianpeng was still somewhat trembling with fear when he first started picking the peaches here, terrified that Wang Mu might appear.

If Wang Mu were to appear, Tianpeng would have had absolutely no chance of escaping.

Fortunately, when all the peaches here had been picked clean, Wang Mu still did not appear, which made Tianpeng heave a sigh of relief.

So many flat peaches should be able to exchange for quite a few exchange points.

"Bajie, we are now heading to the Tushita Palace; there should be many treasures at Taishang Laojun's place," Sun Wukong said, his eyes rolling as he looked at the peach-less garden.

"Good," Tianpeng nodded.

Taishang Laojun was also a special figure in the Heavenly Court; even the Emperor could not command him.

As a named disciple of the Great Master Xuandu, he knew even better that Taishang Laojun was one of the Three Corpses of a Saint.

The things left behind by such an existence should be quite numerous.

Deep within the Heavenly Court.

Two figures sat on stone chairs, and the middle-aged man in magnificent robes among them laughed, "Interesting, truly interesting. Sun Wukong has actually picked all of your flat peaches clean."

This man in magnificent robes was none other than Haotian, the true form of the Emperor.

And the other woman wearing palace attire was Wang Mu.

"Hmph," Wang Mu said coldly, "Haotian, if it weren't for you stopping me, I would have taken action long ago."

"Stay calm and don't be impatient," Haotian shook his head. "After all, you were the one who let Sun Wukong guard the Flat Peach Garden; you must have thought of this beforehand, right?"

Letting a monkey guard a flat peach garden is simply like a meat bun hitting a dog—gone forever.

Wang Mu had also anticipated this point previously.

"Hmph," Wang Mu said coldly, "I just didn't expect Sun Wukong to be so excessive, picking all the flat peaches in my garden clean."

"Haha," Haotian laughed, "Yaochi, you have protected the flat peaches that truly take a long time to gestate; it is fine as long as they haven't had any problems."

Yaochi pursed her lips and said nothing.

If it weren't for that, she would not be sitting here so steadily watching the show.

"To me, what I am more curious about is another person," Haotian's eyes emitted a ray of light. "Marshal Tianpeng actually went with Sun Wukong; is he planning to betray the Heavenly Court?"

Not being a proper Marshal Tianpeng and wanting to be with Sun Wukong—this matter was somewhat strange.

Because if this were the case, Tianpeng would definitely be captured by the Heavenly Court; it was completely thankless work.

"That is true," Yaochi's gaze shifted. "Haotian, Tianpeng also seems to be someone chosen by the Western Buddhism, right?"

"Even so, I haven't taken action here yet," Haotian shook his head.

"This is strange," Yaochi could not figure it out. "Too many things have happened in the Heavenly Court recently; the Jie Sect disciples left the Investiture of the Gods list and re-established the Jie Sect. Could it be because the Kalpa Tribulation is approaching?"

Every time a Kalpa Tribulation descends, one after another, drastic changes have occurred.

"Kalpa Tribulation," Haotian said softly.

Haotian did not believe this was the reason for the Kalpa Tribulation; the departure of the Jie Sect disciples clearly showed that an existence surpassing the Saints had appeared behind them.

Perhaps this existence could even be mentioned in the same breath as the legendary Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

Initially, Haotian also wanted to see that senior, but the appearance of Tongtian Jiaozhu caused that wish to be directly abandoned.

"Let's watch carefully; I believe that regarding Tianpeng's betrayal of the Heavenly Court, the reason will eventually be exposed."

Tushita Palace.

Two sneaky figures appeared here.

"Sun Wukong, we have arrived," Tianpeng said, standing outside the palace, where he could vaguely smell the scent of elixirs.

Inside was the place where Taishang Laojun refined elixirs.

"That's right, Bajie, there are all good things inside," Sun Wukong chuckled. "Since Taishang Laojun gave us this opportunity, we naturally must grasp it well. Let's go."

Watching Sun Wukong walk boldly into the Tushita Palace, Tianpeng swallowed hard and followed him in.

For Tianpeng, committing theft here was still very nerve-wracking.

Who told him that Taishang Laojun was one of the Three Corpses of a Saint? In a sense, that was doing bad things on a Saint's territory.

If it weren't for knowing the original destiny and that this was an opportunity given to Sun Wukong, Tianpeng would never have dared to do this.

But now, for the sake of exchange points, Tianpeng could only go all out. ===== CHAPTER 147 =====
