Journey to the West: Godly Choice

Laojun Temple.

Although Taishang Laojun is nominally an official of the Heavenly Court and is under the control of the Jade Emperor, in fact the Jade Emperor dare not control Taishang Laojun at all, because his background is too great.

Taishang Laojun is an incarnation of the sage Laozi, and staying in the Heavenly Court as an official is also a manifestation of Laozi's attitude. After all, the Jade Emperor is the ruler of the Three Realms designated by Hongjun.

Laozi is Hongjun's eldest disciple and the ancestor of the human religion. His status is higher than Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu, but he is relatively low-key, so his reputation may not be as high as Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu.

As the master of Western Buddhism, Tathagata naturally knows the true identity of Taishang Laojun. This time he went to Taishang Laojun because of a cause and effect incident that year.

"Laojun."

Tathagata entered the Laojun Hall and called out to the Taishang Laojun who was refining the elixir in front of the Bagua furnace.

When Taishang Laojun saw Tathagata, he was startled and said with a smile:"Tathagata, you are not with Lingshan, how do you have time to come to me? Do you want me to refine the elixir for you?"

Tathagata smiled and shook his head, and said aloud:"Laojun, I came to you this time to resolve a cause and effect."

Taishang Laojun was startled when he heard this. The cause and effect between him and the two Western religions was only the one in the Battle of the Gods. Now it seems that Tathagata should have something to ask him to do, and by the way, he should resolve this cause and effect.

Cause and effect, cause and effect, there must be an effect for every cause.

"Tathagata, tell me, what do you want me to do?"When Taishang Laojun heard Tathagata talking about cause and effect, he said directly without any nonsense.

"Laojun, I taught the saints to deduce the secrets of heaven and found that Buddhism will soon spread to the East and cause great prosperity in the East."The Tathagata said

"Buddhism is spreading to the East!"

Upon hearing this, the face of Taishang Laojun changed. The flourishing of Buddhism in the East would inevitably impact the existing sects in the East, but he had to repay the karma he owed to the two saints in the West.

"Well, what do you want me to do?"The Lord nodded and said

"I heard that the Jade Emperor wants to recruit a demon monkey from the lower world to serve the Heavenly Court?" Tathagata continued.

Taishang Laojun glanced at Tathagata, nodded and said:"Yes, this is indeed the case."

"This demon monkey is related to the spread of Buddhism to the East."The Tathagata looked at the Taishang Laojun and said calmly.

The Taishang Laojun looked at the Tathagata, without saying anything, waiting for the Tathagata to continue.

"Laojun, you have refined a lot of elixirs in these years, right? I think the demon monkey's cultivation is a bit low."The Tathagata continued

"I will find an opportunity to let the demon monkey eat the elixir I made and help him refine it."�

Taishang Laojun understood Tathagata's meaning and said

"Thank you, Laojun."

Tathagata bowed to Taishang Laojun and left the hall.

"well...."

Taishang Laojun looked at Tathagata's back and sighed in his heart. He knew that the spread of Buddhism to the East could no longer be stopped........

After arriving at the Flower -

Fruit Mountain, Taibai Jinxing did not conceal his actions, so he was captured by the little demons of the Flower-Fruit Mountain.

"The spiritual energy here is so rich."

After feeling the spiritual energy of the world in Huaguo Mountain, Taibai Jinxing was immediately shocked.

""Stop, who are you?"

Just as Taibai Jinxing was shocked, a loud shout came from behind him, and the Bull Demon King came over with a bad face.

At this time, the Bull Demon King had reached the peak of the Celestial Immortal, and was only one step away from entering the Golden Immortal realm. The Bull Demon King's ability to cultivate so quickly was naturally due to his extraordinary ability.

In Journey to the West, the Bull Demon King was a monster who could fight Sun Wukong to a draw, with great magical powers.

"I am Taibai Jinxing, the special envoy of the Heavenly Court. I have come to Huaguo Mountain on the orders of the Jade Emperor to invite the Monkey King Sun Sheng to serve as an official in Heaven."Taibai Jinxing said calmly. With his cultivation, he naturally would not take the Bull Demon King and other monsters seriously.

""

The Bull Demon King and a group of monsters were shocked when they heard the identity of Taibai Jinxing.

In the hearts of these monsters in the lower world, the Heaven is the goal they strive for all their lives.

"How can you prove your identity?"The Bull Demon King said to Taibai Jinxing

"Take me to see your king, and then it will be clear whether it is true or false."Taibai Jinxing said lightly. As a god in heaven, and a very powerful god at that, he was very disdainful of the lower world monsters like Bull Demon King.

Bull Demon King also heard the disdain in Taibai Jinxing's tone, and was extremely angry in his heart, but considering that it would delay Sun Sheng's important event, he had to suppress the anger in his body and said coldly to Taibai Jinxing:"I will take you to see the king, I hope you don't lie to me, otherwise, I will make you regret it."

""Haha!"

Taibai Jinxing chuckled and followed the Bull Demon King to the Water Curtain Cave.

A moment later!

The Bull Demon King took Taibai Jinxing to the outside of the Water Curtain Cave and shouted loudly:"My king, a man who claims to be a special envoy from Heaven wants to see you."

Inside the Water Curtain Cave!

Sun Sheng heard what the Bull Demon King said, and his heart moved:"The special envoy from Heaven, could it be Taibai Jinxing? Is he here to surrender me?"

Thinking of this, Sun Sheng flew out of the Water Curtain Cave and came in front of the monsters.

"Meet the king!"

When the Bull Demon King and a group of monsters saw Sun Sheng, they immediately knelt on the ground with a respectful look, their eyes full of fanaticism.

"You guys can leave first."

Sun Sheng waved his hand gently and said

""Yes, my king."

The Bull Demon King and a group of little demons agreed and turned away.

"Taibai Jinxing greets the king."

Taibai Jinxing bowed to Sun Sheng and said softly.

Sun Sheng looked Taibai Jinxing up and down and said,"Tell me, what's the matter with you coming to see me?"

"Congratulations, my king. I came to see you this time because I have a great event waiting for you. Taibai Jinxing said to Sun Sheng with a smile.

"Oh? What's the good news? Tell me about it."Sun Sheng chuckled and said.

Taibai Jinxing looked at Sun Sheng and said,"My king, I am here on the orders of the Jade Emperor to invite you to serve as an official in heaven. What do you think?"

Although it was an inquiring tone, Taibai Jinxing was sure that Sun Sheng would never refuse.

For the demons in the world, being able to serve as an official in heaven is definitely an irresistible temptation.

"God is an official, but I don't know what kind of official I will be." Sun Sheng smiled and said

"This requires the king to go to heaven and see the Jade Emperor, and the Jade Emperor will arrange a position for the king."Taibai Jinxing smiled in his heart, he knew that Sun Sheng would not refuse the opportunity to go to heaven to be an official.
