The developnts in the Heavenly Court were beyond Jiang Liu's expectations!
More precisely, the change in the always resolute Jade Emperor suddenly becoming so timid was what Jiang Liu did not foresee!
Therefore, the current situation in the Heavenly Court did not unfold as Jiang Liu had previously planned!
He originally intended to kill the Jade Emperor, at least to refresh the passive skill of the Jade Emperor leaving before his death!
But now, there was no action taken!
Still, although the developnts were unexpected for Jiang Liu, obtaining the Apricot Yellow Flag was sothing he could accept!
There were still a few thousand miles to reach the Great Thunder Monastery! Now, even Zhu Bajie had attained the cultivation level of a Quasi-Saint, which was indeed good news for Jiang Liu!
"rit Buddha, please pause your Zen steps..."
However, as Jiang Liu was leaving the Heavenly Court with Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie, a voice suddenly called out!
Upon hearing the voice, Jiang Liu looked in its direction and saw a little Taoist boy approaching!
It was none other than one of the Taoist boys under the Supre Elder Lord!
"Amitabha, I wonder what matter brings the Little Immortal Boy?" Jiang Liu stopped and asked!
"It's like this, my master wishes for a private eting with Marshal Tianpeng..." replied the little Taoist boy, returning the salute!
"The Supre Elder Lord? Wants to et Bajie alone?" Hearing the little Taoist boy's words, Jiang Liu was montarily stunned but then quickly understood!
The Supre Elder Lord is the good corpse of Sage Laozi, and Zhu Bajie is the direct disciple and granddisciple of Sage Laozi.
Now that Zhu Bajie's cultivation level has broken through to the Quasi-Saint level, the Supre Elder Lord, or rather, Sage Laozi wanting to et him is understandable!
"In that case, Bajie, I and your senior brother will temporarily return to the mortal world!" Jiang Liu turned his head and said to Zhu Bajie!
"Alright, Master, Senior Brother, you may go on ahead!" Zhu Bajie, of course, could guess the reason and nodded in agreent!
After the master and disciple exchanged a few words, Jiang Liu took Sun Wukong and left the Heavenly Court, returning to the Journey to the West for Scriptures!
And as for Zhu Bajie? Naturally, he followed the little Taoist boy to the Doushuai Palace!
At this ti, the Supre Elder Lord was rely sitting to the side in the Doushuai Palace!
In the main seat of the Doushuai Palace, there sat an old man with white hair and beard, exuding an aura of tranquility and nature, as if nothing in the world could catch his attention!
"Grand-disciple pays respect to Grandmaster!" Upon seeing the figure sitting in the main seat, Zhu Bajie's expression slightly changed, and he imdiately stepped forward to greet him!
"Yes, yes, your cultivation level truly has broken through to the Quasi-Saint level!" The old Daoist sitting in the main seat, after casting his gaze on Zhu Bajie, revealed a pleased expression, nodding in satisfaction!
"Grandmaster, didn't Hongjun Ancestor state clearly that Saints must not appear in the Three Realms and Six Paths? How is it that you..."
Zhu Bajie curiously looked at the figure before him, asking in surprise!
"This is rely a thought body of your grandmaster, neither truly real nor completely illusory!" The figure sitting in the main seat answered Zhu Bajie's inquiry!
It was indeed the thought body of Sage Laozi! Not his true form descending!
"I see!" Upon hearing this, Zhu Bajie nodded understandingly!
"Back then, when you were in the Heavenly Court, your cultivation was stuck in the Taiyi Realm, and even breaking through to the Great Luo Realm was difficult. As the sole direct disciple of my Human Sect, this was indeed inappropriate!"
Laozi's gaze settled on Zhu Bajie, a hint of reminiscence in his eyes!
As the Human Sect Master, Laozi had only accepted one disciple! And that was Master Monk Xuandu!
Being the leader of the Six Saints, Master Monk Xuandu, as his only true disciple, was exceptional in all aspects!
He inherited Laozi's characteristic of non-action in terms of mind and had no strong attachnt to any worldly matters!
Devoting himself entirely to cultivation!
And his cultivation level? He had reached the Quasi-Saint level early on, which could be considered on par with the disciples of Yuanshi and Tongtian!
But, on the other hand, his grand-disciple Zhu Bajie's cultivation was stuck in the Taiyi Realm for years, unable to reach even the Daluo Golden Immortal level!
Observing that the Interpretation Sect had twelve Golden Immortals even before the Deification, and looking at the Sect of Intercepting with their myriad of immortals, Laozi felt it was unavoidable to feel embarrassed!
After all, Zhu Bajie is the Human Sect's only third-generation disciple!
But now? He not only broke through to the Great Luo level but also reached the Quasi-Saint stage?
This left Laozi feeling very pleased and satisfied!
"To be honest, Human Sect indeed has a sparse population!" Suddenly, Laozi remarked with a sigh!
"But..."
Yet, as Laozi's words faded, the Supre Elder Lord beside him interjected, saying, "Even though our Human Sect is sparsely populated, when it cos to cultivation levels, the mbers of our Human Sect are all above the Quasi-Saint level!"
Upon hearing this, a smile appeared on Laozi's face, and he nodded in satisfaction!
Indeed, these words were very pleasing to Laozi!
What if other great sects were bustling with people? His Human Sect was comprised entirely of cultivations above Quasi-Saint level!
This was the true elite route, who could compare?
The contention among Saints was rely superficial! Even the Wu Wei-practicing Laozi could not avoid it!
Therefore, when people said Tongtian was the strongest in combat among the Six Saints, Laozi could not accept it!
But now, since all in his Human Sect were above Quasi-Saint in cultivation, proclaiming this had much prestige!
And for this reason, with joy in his heart, Laozi ca from the Void Realm to the Heavenly Court, with the purpose of praising Zhu Bajie a few words!
"I truly didn't expect that letting you reincarnate and hone yourself would allow you to quickly reach Quasi-Saint cultivation. If I'd known sooner, I should have sent you to the Lower Realm earlier!"
Looking at Zhu Bajie with satisfaction, Laozi nodded and said!
"Ancestor, actually, although I have broken through to Quasi-Saint, it is inseparable from my own hard work!"
"But similarly, I owe much thanks to my master's teachings and care over the years! My cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds following my master all these years!" Hearing the Ancestor's words, Zhu Bajie spoke up, not forgetting Jiang Liu's contribution!
"Hmm, you have a point, this matter indeed calls for so gratitude to Xuanzang!" Hearing Zhu Bajie's words, Laozi also nodded in agreent!
It was indeed so! Over the years of reincarnation, Bajie's cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds, first breaking through the Great Luo Realm, now even past the Quasi-Saint realm, indeed all happening after following Xuanzang!
Moreover, it wasn't just Bajie! Sun Wukong, Sha Wujing, even the White Dragon Horse, all of their cultivations also rapidly improved after following Xuanzang!
It can be seen, as a master, Xuanzang not only advanced his own cultivation rapidly but also remarkably guided his disciples!
"Now, your Ancestor has co to the Lower Realm, firstly to see if your Quasi-Saint cultivation is stable, and it seems I was overthinking!"
"Secondly, now that you've broken through to Quasi-Saint, your Ancestor should reward you with so items!"
"Tell , what do you want? As long as it's sothing your Ancestor possesses, you may ask for it today, and I will not refuse!"
In a good mood, Sage Laozi said to Zhu Bajie!
"Thank you, Ancestor!" Hearing Laozi, Zhu Bajie showed a smile!
If talking about treasures? The most precious treasure in his master's hands was undoubtedly the Tai Chi Diagram!
But this was the Ancestor's Dao-proving treasure, how could he ask for it?
Even though the Ancestor promised to grant his request, it wouldn't be right to go too far?
Besides the Tai Chi Diagram, the Ancestor also had many other treasures!
For example, treasures like the Heaven and Earth Mystical Yellow Exquisite Pagoda, which were top-notch treasures!
After pondering silently for a mont, Zhu Bajie suddenly looked at the Supre Elder Lord, then said to Laozi: "Ancestor, actually, I have my eyes on the Levitating Fla Light Flag..."
"Levitating Fla Light Flag?" Hearing Zhu Bajie's request, Laozi was slightly taken aback.
Then he looked at the Supre Elder Lord next to him and said, "Taoist Friend, what do you think..."
"Why be so formal between us!" The Supre Elder Lord replied calmly!
While speaking, he raised his hand, and the Levitating Fla Light Flag appeared in his hand, which he then handed to Zhu Bajie!
"In terms of position, I can count as your Ancestor too. Since you've broken through to Quasi-Saint and set eyes on the Levitating Fla Light Flag, I'll give it to you!"
"Thank you, Ancestor! Thank you!" Receiving the Levitating Fla Light Flag from the Supre Elder Lord, Zhu Bajie nodded and thanked repeatedly!
Indeed, the Supre Elder Lord wasn't wrong! Being the good corpse of Laozi, he and Laozi could be considered one and the sa, thus also counting as Zhu Bajie's Ancestor!
"Bajie, it seems you and Xuanzang have a pretty good relationship!"
After Zhu Bajie stored away the Levitating Fla Light Flag, Sage Laozi suddenly remarked!
"Ancestor, I and my master have a good relationship; isn't that a good thing?" Without much explanation, Zhu Bajie seriously stared at Laozi and asked in return.
"Hmm, of course not! The close relationship between you and Xuanzang is naturally a good thing!" Laozi imdiately affird with a response!
"Alright, everything's settled here, I'll take my leave. May your Journey to the West for Scriptures end soon!"
Having said what needed to be said and seen what needed to be seen, with gifts given, Sage Laozi suddenly stood up and said!
"Farewell, Ancestor!" Without saying much, Zhu Bajie lowered his head and spoke!
With a nod, Sage Laozi's thought body then transford into starlight and dissipated!
"Ancestor, I have matters to attend to, so I'll head to the Lower Realm first..."
After Laozi left, Zhu Bajie said farewell to the Supre Elder Lord before leaving the Heavenly Court!
