Journey to the West: Great Saint Equal to Heaven Chapter 371 - 371 202 Tenth Son of the Golden Crow7

371: Chapter 202 Tenth Son of the Golden Crow_7 371: Chapter 202 Tenth Son of the Golden Crow_7 Sun Wukong handed over a Ziwei Immortal Elixir.

Fahai quickly thanked him, took the elixir, and returned to his dwelling at Huaguo Mountain.

Then he entered and began to heal himself.

“Everyone disperse, do what you must; there’s nothing for you here anymore.”

Sun Wukong’s gaze swept over the crowd.

The crowd scattered, each attending to their own business.

As immortals, although they were carefree and immortal, they also cultivated diligently, hoping to ascend to higher realms and achieve greater freedom.

The carefreeness of a Celestial Immortal and that of a Great Heavenly Venerate are absolutely not the sa.

The forr, though carefree, faced many restrictions.

The latter, as long as they avoid folly, would be essentially safe from harm.

Even if eras changed, as long as they did not actively involve themselves, they were likely to be unscathed.

After all, beings of that level, if they wished to avoid everything and survive, possessed countless ans to do so.

Everyone aspired to beco a Great Heavenly Venerate, for that was the true pinnacle of freedom.

Sun Wukong already possessed the strength of a Great Heavenly Venerate, even surpassing an ordinary one.

But he had beco entangled in the strife of the world.

Even if he withdrew, so would not let him be, and in the end, they would surely settle scores with him.

Hence, Sun Wukong’s cultivation beca even more diligent.

Lu Dongbin and the others could see that Sun Wukong was either comprehending the Dao or cultivating his mana; his power was constantly progressing.

This inspired Lu Dongbin and the others in their cultivation.

If Sun Wukong was so diligent, how could they not be?

The Three Realms gradually stabilized.

Within the Heavenly Court, almost all divine authority had been reclaid, apart from Lady Houtu and the Longevity Great Emperor.

The Buddhist Realm had only Mount Ling, which had been unruly, but recently had beco much more obedient and had not stirred up trouble.

It might also be because Tathagata knew that he could not contest the Heavenly Court in the short term, so he could only covertly build his strength.

Now that the power of the Ziwei Heavenly Court had been established, if he were to fight against it, he would definitely suffer greatly.

Therefore, Tathagata made a decision that shocked many.

He pledged allegiance to the Ziwei Heavenly Court, willing to be subject to it and, according to Great Emperor Ziwei’s arrangents, willing to acknowledge Amitabha Buddha as the Lord of the Buddhist Realm.

This move took both the Ziwei Heavenly Court and Amitabha Buddha by surprise.

They thought Tathagata had gone mad.

Even soone as scheming as he was making such a choice seed inconceivable.

When Sun Wukong heard the news, he was slightly stunned and looked towards the west, pondering sothing.

Soon, a cold smile appeared on his face, and he paid no further attention to the matter.

Great Emperor Ziwei accepted Tathagata’s submission and no longer targeted Mount Ling.

But everyone knew that it was all superficial.

Not long after, Great Emperor Ziwei made another decision.

On the foundation of the Ling Xiao Palace, he constructed the Great Sage’s Mansion, thoroughly transforming the previous Ling Xiao Palace into sothing else.

The immortals were astonished; no one had expected Great Emperor Ziwei to do such a thing.

Even if the Ling Xiao Palace were to collapse, as long as it stood there, it remained the supre place in the hearts of the immortal officials.

But now, the Ling Xiao Palace, being changed to the Great Sage’s Mansion, clearly reflected Great Emperor Ziwei’s intent to suppress its status in the hearts of the immortal officials and to further diminish the Jade Emperor’s remaining status among the immortals.

Great Emperor Ziwei naturally did not reveal his motives outright; he simply told the immortals that Sun Wukong had contributed greatly to his attainnt of the status of Great Heavenly Venerate.

Since Wukong had no desire for an official position in the heavens, he would build him a grand mansion as a way to express his gratitude.

Now that it was the Ziwei Heavenly Court, the Jade Emperor had beco a thing of the past, and there was no need to preserve the Ling Xiao Palace any longer.

Building the Great Sage’s Mansion in its place was, in fact, repurposing what was otherwise waste.
