No taboos in the world

Chapter 541: Imperial Palace Celebration, Wukong Presents Gift

Taiyi Daoguo is the first high hurdle that all living beings encounter after reaching the Golden Immortal realm.

The essence of Tao Fruit is the law. After being condensed, refined, and integrated, the law finally bears fruit, which symbolizes the successful breakthrough.

In the distant past, it was not difficult to obtain the Taiyi Dao Fruit, because the laws of heaven and earth at that time were almost completely revealed in the prehistoric world. Anyone with a little bit of mind and understanding could easily immerse themselves in the laws of heaven and earth and extract their own unique understanding of the Tao.

However, as time went by, the heaven and earth changed drastically. After the primitive world was shattered, the current three-realm structure was formed. The laws of heaven and earth also gradually disappeared after a series of disasters, big or small. Even the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is far less abundant and pure than when the primitive world was opened up.

Therefore, the difficulty of enlightenment increases exponentially.

Looking back on the past, let alone breaking through the Taiyi realm, some innate sacred holy spirits were already in the Taiyi realm or even the Daluo realm when they were born.

But times have changed after all.

Nowadays, saints are no longer visible, quasi-saints are in hiding, and Daluo are in seclusion and rarely go out. The Taiyi Golden Immortal has become the top combat force in the Three Realms.

Practitioners who have reached this stage will be respected no matter in heaven, Lingshan or the underworld.

Also.

"Immortal Gold" is a major symbol of the Golden Immortal, and accordingly, it is not easy to carve and smelt new changes in the immortal gold.

Therefore, achieving Taiyi Golden Immortal means breaking through the shackles of the Golden Immortal Realm and having the possibility of further progress.

A Xuanling Emperor who is at the Golden Immortal level can sit on a high position by virtue of his extraordinary status and magic weapon, making others dare not disrespect him.

However, Emperor Xuanling, who is at the level of Taiyi Golden Immortal, already has the initial qualifications to sit firmly on the throne by his own strength.

What's more, Hong Chen is not an ordinary Taiyi Golden Immortal. After condensing the Dao Fruit, he completed the Dao Fruit after forty-nine days and ascended to the peak of the Taiyi Realm.

Who knows when he will achieve great success in the future?
Maybe it will be the next second.
-
"My brother broke through to the Taiyi Golden Immortal a few days ago, and achieved the perfect Dao fruit in forty-nine days, reaching the peak of Taiyi. It can be said that he astonished the world and shocked the three realms. Can you help me think about what I should give him so as not to be impolite?"

Sun Wukong was pulling out his own monkey hair, carrying the Ruyi Jingu Bang on his shoulder, squatting on a rock to ask for advice from his two fellow apprentices.

After hearing what he said, Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing were both filled with emotion and amazement.

There is no need to mention that Zhu Bajie was once the Marshal of Tianpeng. Even Sha Wujing, the former General Curtain-Pulling, knows the difficulty of achieving the 77th perfection in the Taiyi realm.

Zhu Bajie couldn't think of any good ideas for a moment, so he pushed Sha Wujing beside him and said, "Old Sha, what do you think?"

Sha Wujing thought for a moment and answered, "The Great Emperor Xuanling resides in heaven and is revered in the underworld. He has countless believers in the world and his power is feared by all three realms..."

Although his words were meant to flatter Emperor Xuanling, Sun Wukong regarded himself as Emperor Xuanling's brother, so naturally he couldn't help but feel proud of himself, and his monkey face was filled with smiles.

"…Furthermore, I heard that Emperor Xuanling already has at least two top-grade innate spiritual treasures, and countless other magic treasures. I think he is not short of treasures. Moreover, there must be many powerful people from the Three Realms who go to the Emperor Xuanling's palace to give gifts. I think Emperor Xuanling has seen enough of the treasures from the Three Realms. So, instead of racking your brains to prepare a gift, you might as well change your mindset and prepare something with unique meaning."

Sun Wukong also felt that what Sha Wujing said made sense, but he was still not satisfied.

Because Sun Wukong is a monkey who cares a lot about his reputation, whether in battle or giving gifts, he is always unwilling to be outdone by others.

So he looked at Zhu Bajie.

"Bajie, you have always been the most thoughtful and intelligent person, do you have any ideas?"

When Bajie heard this, he immediately knew what Sun Wukong was thinking.

But this is really difficult to deal with.

What Sha Wujing said just now was true. The powerful beings from the Three Realms were now sending gifts to the Xuanling Imperial Palace one after another. It was presumed that most of the various treasures from the Three Realms were gathered in one place. It was not an easy task to win the first place among the gifts from the powerful beings from the Three Realms. Even if he was still the Grand Marshal of the 300,000 Tianhe Navy of the Heavenly Court, he could not do it.

"Brother Monkey, I know you care most about face, but what Junior Brother Sha said is true. There are many people sending gifts to Emperor Xuanling now, and most of the important figures in the Three Realms have gathered here. We brothers have suffered a lot on the way to obtain the scriptures, so how can we have any valuable treasures to earn back your face?" Bajie was a little bit of a wimp.

Sun Wukong didn't say much, he just reached out and grabbed his pig ears.

With a backhand twist, Bajie immediately let out a pig-like howl.

"Fool, I asked you to give me advice, not to throw cold water on me!"

Bajie struggled to get free and felt his ears were about to fall off. Finally, he had to beg for mercy: "Brother Monkey, Brother Monkey, please let go. I have an idea!"

"Oh? Really?"

"It's true! It's true!"

Wukong let go, Bajie rubbed his ears, leaped over and hid behind Tang Sanzang who was chanting with his eyes closed.

"You damned monkey, you really don't know what's good for you. I was giving you some advice out of kindness, but you pulled my ears. Master, please look at him!" Bajie pushed Tang Sanzang for support.

Sun Wukong laughed, slowly raised the golden cudgel with one hand, and stood up from the stone.

Bajie was so frightened that he trembled and hurriedly hid behind Tang Sanzang, but Tang Sanzang's thin body could not hide his fat figure.

What’s even more terrible is that Tang Sanzang didn’t say a word, and didn’t even open his eyes.

"Master! Say something!"

Tang Sanzang remained unmoved, as if his soul had left his body and was wandering in the sky.

Wukong chuckled and said that it was unpredictable whether Bajie would live or die.

for a long time.

Bajie lay on the ground, and his pig head became even more pig-headed.

Sha Wujing sighed, and the white dragon horse also shook his head.

After putting away his stick, Sun Wukong was about to speak when he saw Tang Sanzang also opened his eyes.

"I have heard what you just said. Since it is a great joy for my uncle, I should also send him a gift. Unfortunately, I have nothing. I will write a scripture later. Wukong, remember to pass it on for me."

Sun Wukong nodded: "Don't worry, Master, leave it to me."

Bajie, who was lying on the ground and grunting, said, "Master, I am not saying anything bad about you, but Emperor Xuanling is the orthodox of Xuanmen and the direct descendant of Nuwa. It is nothing for a monk like you to copy a scripture as a gift."

Tang Sanzang remained calm and gave Wukong a light look.

Wukong understood what he meant, took out the golden cudgel from his ear again and started beating the pig.

evening.

The four masters and apprentices stayed overnight in a dilapidated temple in the mountains.

Tang Sanzang lit a candle and began to copy scriptures by hand.

Sha Seng was diligently cooking porridge, while Bajie was squatting in the corner, autistic.

Outside the temple, Wukong continued to feel distressed as he looked at the twinkling stars in the sky.

"Big brother."

"Hmm?" Wukong turned his eyes to the White Dragon Horse.

The white dragon horse immediately transformed into a human, and said with a bow, "Big Brother, Emperor Xuanling has been very kind to our dragon race. For this happy event, I would like to offer a small gift."

"Great!" Sun Wukong nodded, "Brother, do you want to go back to the Dragon Palace?"

Ao Lie shook his head: "No, I have turned into a dragon horse now, so it is inconvenient for me to go far away. Why don't I ask my eldest brother to go to the Dragon Palace on my behalf? Just tell me the reason, and my father will prepare a gift. Besides, since my eldest brother doesn't know how to give a gift, why not ask my father?"

Sun Wukong thought about it and felt that there was a way, so he nodded happily.

"Okay, then I'll go to the Dragon Palace in the West Sea. You stay here and keep an eye on Master!"

"Don't worry, senior brother."

Sun Wukong soared into the sky and flew straight into the West Sea.

After arriving at the Dragon Palace of the West Sea and explaining the reason, the Dragon King of the West Sea quickly prepared gifts.

"The small gift I prepared for my son can only be considered as a courtesy, but the gift prepared for the Great Sage is extraordinary." The Dragon King of the West Sea took Sun Wukong aside and introduced them.

Sun Wukong naturally had little understanding of what innate spiritual creatures were, but just by listening to the story told by the Dragon King of the West Sea, he understood that it was no ordinary item.

"Old Dragon King, this treasure sounds good, but how does it compare to other powerful ones?"

The Dragon King of the West Sea said confidently: "Great Sage, these nine innate spiritual objects gather the essence of the treasure house of the Dragon Palace of the West Sea. Not to mention the three realms today, even in the ancient times, it is rare to see them!"

Sun Wukong immediately smiled happily: "Good, good, good! Old Dragon King, you did a good job! I, Sun Wukong, will accept your favor today. If you need anything in the future, just send someone to find me and I will definitely help you!"

The Dragon King of the West Sea stroked his beard and laughed. Although he didn't dare to say it, his expression showed that he was very satisfied.

Unable to contain his emotions, Sun Wukong packed up his things and headed for heaven immediately.

The banquet is in full swing in the Xuanling Imperial Palace.

Practitioners from various races and forces from all walks of life in the Three Realms gathered together, making the usually quiet Xuanling Imperial Palace shine with unprecedented brilliance.

Laojun came in person with two boys, presented gifts, and then took the seat.

The Great Emperor of Longevity of the South Pole, who was rarely seen on ordinary days, also came out of his palace and sat at the table on behalf of the Chan Sect.

Dou Mu Yuanjun was wearing a golden star robe, and behind her, a large number of Jiejiao immortals gathered around her like stars surrounding the moon, talking and laughing.

Although the old man of the Styx, who was hidden deep in the sea of ​​blood, did not show up, he sent a group of Asuras with excellent looks, wonderful figures, and stunningly charming manners to deliver gifts, and these female Asuras were also included in the gifts.

The ancestor of earthly immortals, Zhen Yuanzi, brought Qingfeng and Mingyue and sent nine ginseng fruits, which made others envious. The two children, Qingfeng and Mingyue, smiled at Hong Chen with great enthusiasm, showing their gratitude and respect.

The Tathagata of Lingshan Mountain in the West ordered Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva to come in person to present gifts, and all the Eighteen Arhats followed him.

The Jade Emperor and Queen Mother also came in person with gifts, and they drank and watched dances with the immortals. The atmosphere was very cheerful.

Thus, what was supposed to be a small-scale celebration suddenly turned into a grand event that brought together powerful people from the three realms.

When Sun Wukong suddenly visited, many gods immediately put down their cups and chopsticks and looked at him with smiles.

Seeing this scene, Sun Wukong immediately cried out that he was lucky: Fortunately, I have made preparations. If I had really come here in a confused state, I would definitely be laughed at!

He took a deep breath and jumped forward.

Hong Chen flashed from behind the table to the door to greet him.

"You are so thoughtful that you still take time out from your busy schedule to come here."

Sun Wukong was very pleased, but on the surface he waved his hand nonchalantly: "It's just a small matter to obtain the scriptures. Master and fellow apprentice have gone to bed now. Today is your big event, so how can I not come?"

Glancing at Hong Chen, he added, "I still remember when we first met, you hadn't yet broken through to the Golden Immortal realm. Now, not only have you caught up, you've even surpassed me. This is truly cause for celebration!"

Ever since he broke through Taiyi under the intimidation and pressure of Hong Chen's top-grade innate spiritual treasure, Sun Wukong has made some progress over the years, but he has not yet cultivated to the peak of Taiyi.

Those five hundred years were a waste of time, and two was the wear and tear on his bones. Although the Yin-Yang Pill of Creation eliminated the trouble, he had been busy all day for more than ten years since he started his journey to the West, and it was difficult for him to practice with peace of mind.

Hong Chen lifted his arm and said with a smile: "It's okay, the journey to obtain the scriptures will soon be completed. You can come to the Xuanling Imperial Palace for retreat. With your talent and physique, you will not be disturbed by all things. I think it won't be long before you and I can keep pace with each other again."

"it is good!"

Sun Wukong laughed loudly, then turned his head to look at the many gods, and with a wave of his hand, he released all nine innate spiritual objects.

"Hey, Xuanling! Since it's a happy event, how can you be rude? These nine treasures are the gifts from me, Old Sun, to you!" As he said that, he deliberately turned his head to look at everyone and said, "I see so many people gathered together to eat and drink, the gifts they send shouldn't be worse than mine, right?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone laughed, and for a while greetings like "monkey head" and "naughty monkey" were heard everywhere.

However, after careful comparison, except for the powerful people from the three realms mentioned just now, the gifts sent by others are really not as good as his.

The ancient world has been opened up for a long time, and the innate spiritual objects have either been taken away for refining and use, or hidden away as heirloom treasures, or simply not discovered in time and turned into acquired things.

Anyone who can bring out an innate spiritual object as a gift must not be an ordinary person.

It should be noted that innate spiritual objects can be used to refine treasures as well as elixirs.

When refining treasures, even if you can't directly refine them into innate ones, at least you can expect to refine them into the best acquired ones; if it is refining pills, it may be able to save lives.

Having it or not and being willing to give it up are two different matters.

However, when Hong Chen looked at these nine innate spiritual objects, he couldn’t help but sigh in his heart.

He was very familiar with these nine innate spiritual objects. He had seen them with his own eyes in the treasury of the Four Seas Dragon Palace, but he did not take action directly because he did not want to conclude too many cause and effect relationships with the dragon clan too early.

Unexpectedly, after so many years, these treasures came back into my hands.

Of course, this karma was also borne by Sun Wukong.

If you ask whether Hong Chen lacks innate spiritual objects, the answer is definitely yes.

Although the Red Dust Sword, which was in harmony with his great way, was already of the highest grade innate quality, it still did not reach the ultimate of the highest grade innate four seasons and eight levels of restrictions.

Although the Red Dust Sword with forty-six prohibitions will not affect the future attainment of the Tao, it is not the best.

As the sword master, Hong Chen wields the Hongchen Sword, Zhuxian Sword and Juexian Sword at the same time, and knows the differences between them best.

Before Wukong arrived, several other great masters gave him five innate spiritual objects. Now, there are fourteen innate spiritual objects gathered together, plus other materials collected over the years, which should be enough to add another restriction to the Red Dust Sword.

"This is a great gift." Hong Chen looked seriously into Wukong's shining eyes, "I'll remember it!"

Seeing this, Wukong nodded happily: "That's good. If you still need it, I will collect some more for you!"

When he said collecting, he naturally meant collecting in the Dragon Palace.

Hong Chen smiled and shook his head: "Not for now, these are enough. Come, take your seat quickly!"
