Uncle Nine: I became Master Qianhe, and my fame resounded throughout the Daoist sect.

Chapter 559 The Angry Emperor

Upon hearing the words "Journey to the West: Great Calamity," the Jade Emperor, seated on his dragon throne, immediately showed impatience, for he had no desire to appease or assist the Western Buddhists.

The earlier promise was to confer deities to strengthen their Heavenly Court.

But what?

The two teaching factions beat him so badly his head popped out.

In the end, he still couldn't get anything done!

We need to keep them from fighting and stabilize them.

Damn it, he wants obedient subordinates, not bosses!

Who the hell can I talk to about this?

..........................

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. In a fit of rage, Haotian slammed his hand on the armrest, stood up abruptly, and shouted angrily!

"I am the Heavenly Emperor, yet I am hampered at every turn! I thought the Investiture of the Gods would expand the power of the Heavenly Court, but it turned out to be another maneuver. Now, with this Journey to the West calamity, I am required to cooperate with the Western Buddhist Realm. On what grounds?" Haotian's eyes blazed as he surveyed his ministers.

All the ministers trembled with fear and dared not utter a word.

The people of both the Chan and Jie schools were secretly saddened.

Most of them were unwilling to be listed on the Investiture of the Gods.

He was originally a carefree immortal.

Now that they're on the Investiture of the Gods list, there's no room for advancement. How can they be happy?

Just then, a soft cough came from the corner; it was Venus.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. Although the affairs of the Sage are complex and unpredictable, the Great Tribulation of the Journey to the West is also an opportunity for our Heavenly Court."

"Oh? What do you mean?" Haotian raised an eyebrow.

"Your Majesty, Sun Wukong's return to freedom will inevitably cause chaos. We can secretly guide him, take advantage of the power struggles among various forces, and seek the greatest benefit from it, thereby expanding the prestige and strength of the Heavenly Court. At that time, we will no longer need to be at the mercy of others."

Haotian's eyes lit up, and he sat down again, tapping his fingers lightly on the armrest.

"What Taibai said makes sense, but this matter needs to be planned carefully, and we must not be as passive as we were during the Investiture of the Gods."

The ministers shouted "Long live the Emperor!" Haotian gazed firmly into the distance, already having made his decision.

But as soon as he finished speaking, someone suggested, "But this was arranged by the two Western Saints..."

Hear this.

Haotian was furious!

The Two Saints of the West!

Those damned Western Saints again!

However, he dared not directly rebuke the two saints for their mistakes.

"Hmph! This so-called Journey to the West Calamity is clearly a scheme devised by those Westerners. What does it have to do with me? Why should the Heavenly Court under my command cooperate with them?"

Upon hearing this, the many officials in the court were so frightened that they fell silent, each keeping their lips tightly shut, and none of them dared to speak out.

They knew that if they accepted this, the two Western Saints would find out, and then they would be in trouble.

............................

"I've already played along with their farce before, do you expect me to continue being their supporting character?" Haotian became increasingly angry as he spoke, his chest heaving violently.

The immortals from the Chan and Jie sects on the sidelines seemed quite indifferent to the matter, appearing to be completely uninvolved.

After all, in their view, this great calamity of the Journey to the West had little to do with their own sect.

However, when Haotian caught a glimpse of the indifferent attitude of the two sects, he became even more furious.

But I can't get angry at them.

Although he was not afraid of them.

But he was afraid of the saint behind them.

Now he realizes that proposing the conferment of divine titles and the appointment of deities was a mistake.

It would be better to wait for those mortal cultivators to ascend to heaven after their tribulations and then train them.

At least he has peaches of immortality and fine wine to help them improve!

Now look what's happened, it's become extremely embarrassing.

Just then, Venus, though knowing full well that angering the Emperor might bring trouble, still mustered his courage and continued to speak: "Your Majesty, please calm your anger and listen to this old minister's words. This great calamity of the Western Journey is a major event concerning the fate of the world. If our Heavenly Court does not actively participate in its operation, I fear we will miss many rare opportunities in the future!"

The Jade Emperor snorted coldly, "Opportunity? Hmph, those two Western Saints are cunning, trying to use my Heavenly Court to pave the way for their schemes. How could I allow them to do as they wish?"

Last time, he even said he would have his clone, the Jade Emperor, pretend to be beaten by the monkey and crawl under the table.

He wouldn't dare do that.

But there was no other way; in the end, Buddha himself came to subdue the monkey.

If Buddha hadn't come, he would have flipped the table.

Press it yourself!

Then you, Tathagata, can just wait until the dog finishes eating the noodles, the chicken finishes eating the rice, and the fire burns off the lock before taking Sun Wukong on his journey to the West!

...........................

Just as they were talking.

At this moment, a figure slowly arrived at the Heavenly Court.

This person is none other than Yunxiao!

Yunxiao was dressed in a plain white dress with flowing cloud sleeves. The hem of the dress fell to her feet, and when she walked, it was like white clouds floating, creating a free and comfortable and elegant atmosphere.

Upon entering the Lingxiao Palace, all the immortals and gods were stunned.

Even the immortals and gods of the Chan Sect looked at Yunxiao with trepidation.

During the Investiture of the Gods era, Yunxiao's Hunyuan Golden Cauldron displayed its divine power, causing the immortals of the Chan Sect to tremble in fear.

Beneath the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation, the Twelve Immortals all had their Three Flowers severed and their Five Qi extinguished!

This scene is still vivid in my memory.

Meanwhile, the immortals and gods on the Jie Sect's side were very happy.

Especially Qiongxiao, Bixiao, and Zhao Gongming.

Their younger sister and older sister have finally emerged from Qilin Cliff!
