Immortal Qi permeated the Penglai Celestial Mountain, and the fragrance of exotic flowers and herbs drifted with the wind, spreading to the entire Celestial Island.
On the peak of the mountain, Cheng Hao stood at the edge of the cliff with his hands behind his back, quietly looking at the boundless East Sea in the distance.
"Master, I have embarrassed you!"
Behind Cheng Hao, Sun Wukong lowered his head with a perturbed expression, looking rather dejected.
"It's not considered embarrassing. After all, Tathagata is a Buddha who is as famous as the Dao Ancestor. It's already very impressive for you to be able to last so long against him!"
Cheng Hao turned around and sat cross-legged on the grass. Then, he waved at Sun Wukong, indicating for him to sit down.
Sun Wukong was overjoyed, and he hurried forward to sit beside his master. He knew that his master had something to tell him.
"Sun Wukong, I won't hide it from you. I have been plotting for countless years to become the Master of the Heavenly Court."
Sun Wukong was overjoyed when he heard that. He scratched his monkey face and nodded repeatedly in agreement. "It should be so. The position of the Master of the Heavenly Court should be taken by Master. In the entire Three Realms, other than Master, I, Sun Wukong, will not accept anyone else taking that position!"
Cheng Hao smiled and did not react to the monkey's flattery. Instead, he continued to ask, "You wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Court this time. How do you feel about the strength of the Heavenly Court?"
"Ordinary Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals were no match for me at all. Even the Three-eyed General who was standing at the entrance of the Lingxiao Palace and had been eyeing me covetously, I felt that I should be able to defeat him if I used all my strength."
Sun Wukong scratched his head and carefully recalled the scene back then.
"Other than that Three-eyed General, I also sensed four auras. Their strength should be above that of the Three-eyed General. Those four people gave me a very strong sense of danger. They are very strong!"
Hearing this, Cheng Hao's eyes narrowed slightly. Although Sun Wukong loved to fight, he wasn't a fool. As a Spiritual Stone Monkey, he had a very clear sense of danger. To be able to give him a sense of danger, it meant that the four people were definitely not ordinary fourth-stage experts. It was very likely that they had already reached the peak of the fourth-stage.
"Can those four be compared to Tathagata?" Cheng Hao asked directly.
"Although those four people are strong, they are still far from Tathagata. They shouldn't be on the same level!" Sun Wukong replied carefully and made his judgment.
Cheng Hao nodded. He more or less understood the identities of the four people.
"If I'm not wrong, those four people should be the main people in charge of the Heavenly Court's ruling the Three Realms.."
"Master, who are the Four Imperials of the Heavenly Court?" Wukong was a little curious. Although he had fought with the Heavenly Court before, he didn't know much about the Heavenly Court.
Emperor Emperor Emperor Emperor of the Earth Emperor of the Earth Emperor Emperor Emperor of the Earth Emperor Emperor of Earth Emperor Emperor of the Emperor of the Emperor of the Emperor. Emperor of the Heaven Heaven Emperor. Emperor of Emperor of Emperor..
Rank Heaven '''s......... Wukong Heaven..........
Sun Wukong shook his head. "The auras of the other Celestial Officials and Divine Generals in the Soaring Heaven King Palace are below those four people. They are even weaker than the Three-eyed Generals. I didn't pay much attention to them!"
"Did you sense the auras of the Jade Emperor and the Taoist Ancestor, Taishang Laojun?"
Sun Wukong scratched his head and looked shocked. "I didn't sense their auras from the beginning. At that time, I thought that they were afraid and didn't show up in the Soaring Heaven King Palace!"
Cheng Hao nodded his head. He had a preliminary judgment of the strength of the Heaven Realm. As he had expected, the Jade Emperor and Taishang Laojun were both Rank Five existences.
"Master, when are we going to attack the Heavenly Court again?"
Knowing that his master was interested in the position of the Master of the Three Realms, Sun Wukong was suddenly interested. Previously, he did not kill everyone in the Soaring Heaven King Palace. This time, if his master was willing to take action, he could definitely kill his way into the Soaring Heaven King Palace and fight with the Jade Emperor.
"This is not urgent. I have a task for you. I wonder if you are willing to do it?"
"Master, please tell me. Even if I have to die a horrible death, I will definitely complete the task that you have given me!"
.....
Time passed. In the blink of an eye, several decades had passed.
On the peak of the Penglai Celestial Mountain, Cheng Hao and Lin Xi sat on the grass. They looked at the rising sun at the end of the East Sea in silence.
"Both the Mystical Mountain and the Heavenly Court are pushing for the Journey to the West to proceed smoothly. What do you think is their motive behind this?" Cheng Hao suddenly spoke in the silence.
Lin Xi retracted her gaze from the distance and pondered for a moment. Then, her red lips parted slightly and said, "This world is called the Journey to the West. Then, the trajectory of the world is related to the Journey to the West. This is the general trend of the Heavenly Axiom. No one can change it!"
"The Mystical Mountain is pushing the Journey to the West so hard. It should be for the sake of the incense of the Three Realms and even the Three Thousand Universes. As for why the Heavenly Court is so enthusiastic about the Journey to the West, I can't figure it out for now!"
Cheng Hao rubbed his forehead thoughtfully. "The Journey to the West is the general trend of the Heavenly Axiom. It can't be violated. However, the Heavenly Court can just stand by and watch. It's fine as long as they don't interfere. There's no need for them to be so enthusiastic and participate in it."
"Moreover, looking at the Heavenly Court's attitude, it seems that they are more enthusiastic about the Journey to the West than the Buddhas of the Mystical Mountain. This seems a little unusual!"
"The Mystical Mountain wants incense, but the Heavenly Court's method of adding fuel to the fire can only mean that the Jade Emperor and the Elderly Lord want far more than the Mystical Mountain." Lin Xi's lips curled up slightly. She seemed to have thought of something.
"At the Jade Emperor and the Elderly Lord's level of strength and status, what else can attract them?" Cheng Hao couldn't help but frown. "What cultivators want the most is naturally strength. However, they have already reached the Fifth Stage, which is the peak of this realm. There's no room for improvement. Why continue to torment them?"
Lin Xi's fingers tapped on the grass gently. Suddenly, a look of surprise appeared on her beautiful face. She exchanged a look with Cheng Hao. Then, both of them spoke at the same time.
"Plane upgrade!"
Although the Journey to the West was a high-level immortal plane, it still belonged to the ranks of the Middle Thousand Universes. It hadn't reached the level of the Major Thousand Universes. Due to the restrictions of the plane level of the universe, the Jade Emperor and the others' strength could only be stuck at the Fifth Stage. They couldn't upgrade at all.
However, if the Journey to the West was upgraded from the Middle Thousand Universe to the Major Thousand Universe, then the Jade Emperor, as the Master of the Three Realms, would definitely be able to enjoy the blessings of the entire Major Thousand Universe. His strength would definitely be greatly improved. It was even possible for him to break through to the Sixth Stage!
