He simply settled down in Huaguo Mountain, waiting for the day of the conferment conference.
According to Sun Wukong, the Mysterious Lady of the Nine Heavens should attend the conferment conference.
If she did not come, he would have the Great Emperor Ziwei intervene and take Chi You to where the Mysterious Lady of the Nine Heavens resided.
With Sun Wukong’s assurance, Chi You naturally felt completely at ease.
However, Nu Ba and he did not get along at all.
Every time Nu Ba looked at Chi You, her gaze was icy cold.
If Chi You were not Sun Wukong’s guest, Nu Ba would have already made a move.
Though she was very likely no match for Chi You.
Among the Heavenly Venerates, there were also hierarchies.
Strong as Sun Wukong, this kind of Heavenly Venerate, could contend against several ordinary Heavenly Venerates alone.
Though Nu Ba was not ordinary, she likely could not compete with Chi You.
“Little Nu Ba, you are that monkey’s woman, I shall not make a move on you,” Chi You said with a beaming smile.
Nu Ba’s face suddenly reddened, she suddenly felt that Chi You was not so disagreeable after all, at least he had good discernment, recognizing at a glance that she was Great Saint’s woman.
Nu Ba’s gaze at Chi You softened.
She snorted softly and turned to leave.
As for the displeasure she felt toward Chi You, it had already been cast aside.
Who could blame him for having such a discerning eye?
The conferment conference soon arrived, Sun Wukong got ready and took Lu Dongbin and Chi You to the Heavenly Court.
Nu Ba and Lady Dragon of Wealth accompanied Sun Wukong; clearly, they were going together.
Sun Wukong did not stop them, Nu Ba represented the Mysterious Spirit Elder Huang lineage, and Lady Dragon of Wealth represented the lineage of Guanyin of the South Sea.
Both of them were major figures between Heaven and Earth.
Their accompaniment easily led others to surmise these two powerful beings supported the Great Emperor Ziwei.
In this way, the influence of the Great Emperor Ziwei grew stronger.
This was a conference prepared by the Great Emperor Ziwei, few immortals amongst all under heaven dared to disrespect it.
The majesty of the leader of the Four Heavenly Kings was not for mere talk.
If someone dared to disrespect the Great Emperor Ziwei, an ordinary immortal wouldn’t even know how they died.
Sun Wukong arrived neither too early nor too late; numerous immortals were already there.
When they saw Sun Wukong and his group enter, many of the Immortals and Buddhas stood up to greet them.
“Greetings, Great Saint.”
“Great Saint Sun dutifully greets.”
“Great Saint, long time no see.”
…
The last time at the Peach Banquet in Kunlun, the impression Sun Wukong gave was indeed too profound.
With his own strength, he earned the respect of the Immortals and Buddhas.
When they saw Chi You following behind Sun Wukong, their pupils constricted.
Chi You was actually following Sun Wukong, what did this mean?
Could it be that Sun Wukong had subdued Chi You?
If that was the case, the power of Huaguo Mountain truly should not be underestimated.
Add to that, the hidden Ksitigarbha, making them have four Heavenly Venerates.
Among them, Sun Wukong and Chi You, both top-tier among the Heavenly Venerates, even an ordinary Great Heavenly Venerate might not be able to tackle them.
“That’s the Wealth Dragon Maiden and Nu Ba.”
“Yes, indeed, it’s them.”
“Could it be that both the South Sea and the Mysterious Spirit Elder Huang lineage have allied with Sun Wukong?
If so, they are also supporting the Great Emperor Ziwei.”
“The trend of the Great Emperor Ziwei becoming a Great Heavenly Venerate is really hard to stop.”
…
A group of Immortals and Buddhas transmitted messages, buzzing with discussion.
Sun Wukong was quite pleased with this effect, and under the guidance of the Immortal Official, he proceeded to his place.
Chi You and Lu Dongbin were also led to their respective places, but as for Nu Ba and the Lady Dragon of Wealth, both of whom originally had their own seats, they sat down next to Sun Wukong instead.
One of them poured wine, the other peeled grapes for Sun Wukong, making the envying eyes of the surrounding Immortals and Buddhas almost turn red.
When the Yellow Emperor entered and saw this scene, his eyes nearly turned red as well.
The one who was pouring wine for Sun Wukong, wasn’t that his own daughter?
He himself did not enjoy such treatment, yet this monkey was relishing it.
He huffed and walked over to sit beside Sun Wukong.
“Father.”
Nu Ba was somewhat embarrassed, but she still didn’t put down the wine jug in her hand.
The Yellow Emperor glared at Sun Wukong, displaying an expression of accusation.
“Your Majesty, please don’t misunderstand, there’s absolutely nothing going on between your daughter and me, you should trust my character,”
Sun Wukong communicated through his thoughts.
The Yellow Emperor sneered, and he also communicated through thoughts, disdainfully saying, “You want me to trust a monkey’s character?
Do you even have such a thing?”
Sun Wukong: “…”
He felt deeply hurt.
Seeing the Yellow Emperor’s contemptuous face, Sun Wukong suddenly became defiant.
He embraced Nu Ba and pulled her into his arms.
Nu Ba exclaimed, but she didn’t resist at all and lay comfortably in Sun Wukong’s arms.
Murmurs of shock came from around them, and the eyes of Immortals and Buddhas almost popped out.
The scene was rather too thrilling.
Lu Dongbin pursed his lips, muttering, “Huh, that reeks of a love affair.”
Veins bulged on the Yellow Emperor’s forehead, his gaze was murderous.
Sun Wukong secretly communicated, “Didn’t you say you didn’t trust my character?
Well, don’t trust it then, I’ll do exactly as you wish.”
The Yellow Emperor, gasping for breath, glared furiously at Sun Wukong, his eyes practically murderous.
Lady Dragon of Wealth looked somewhat aggrieved, but she continued to peel grapes at the side.
By now, Sun Wukong had already let go of Nu Ba.
Nu Ba had a sweet smile on her face, looking every bit the lovestruck girl.
Seeing this, the Yellow Emperor suddenly felt very angry.
His own precious flower was about to be tampered with by a monkey.
Sun Wukong felt even more smug, he couldn’t stand provocation from others.
Initially, there was nothing between them, but the Yellow Emperor’s provocation had indeed provoked him.
However, Sun Wukong was unaware that at this moment, the Yellow Emperor and Nu Ba were communicating through their thoughts.
“Father, we succeeded, the monkey finally fell into the trap,”
The Yellow Emperor proudly replied, “Of course, who do you think your father is?
Even Chi You was outwitted by me.
How could a mere monkey escape from the palm of my hand?
I just used a little trick, and he fell for it.”
Nu Ba spoke with some worry, “Father, what if he finds out?
Will he be furious to death?”
The Yellow Emperor glanced at her and said, “Then don’t tell him.
Why would you tell him?”
“That makes sense, thank you, Father.”
Nu Ba’s lips curled into a slight smile.
Sun Wukong glanced at her.
He furrowed his brows, sensing that something was not right.
He suddenly felt as if he had been manipulated.
Bodhisattva Guanyin arrived, and upon seeing Sun Wukong flanked by girls, she slightly furrowed her brows.
But, she ultimately said nothing and merely nodded at Sun Wukong before taking a seat.
Then, Amitabha Buddha arrived, his face alight with a radiant smile, sitting on the Nine-Colored Lotus Platform, descending here.
Only after the Nine-Colored Lotus Platform landed did Amitabha Buddha stand up from it and step down.
All the Immortals and Buddhas stood up, paying their respects to Amitabha Buddha.
Amitabha Buddha returned each greeting, showing great grace.
Then, to everyone’s surprise, he walked over to Sun Wukong.
“I have seen the Great Sage.”
Sun Wukong stood up and laughed, “Supreme Honored Buddha needn’t be so formal with me.
Old Sun is junior to you; it would be proper for me to pay respects to you.”
He stood up and sincerely paid his respects to Amitabha Buddha.
After the salute, Sun Wukong laughingly said, “Congratulations, Amitabha Buddha, on being decreed as the Lord of the Buddhist Realm.
From now on, the Buddhist Realm will be led by Amitabha Buddha.”
Amitabha Buddha smiled slightly and said, “It’s thanks to the Great Sage’s support; Amitabha Buddha will keep it in his heart.”
“Haha, it’s your own merit, Old Sun didn’t help much.”
Sun Wukong laughed.
He truly did not take credit.
The hearts of the Immortals and Buddhas were shocked, Amitabha Buddha’s conferment actually had Sun Wukong’s contributions.
Weren’t he and the Buddhist Realm at odds?
He had even fought fiercely with Amitabha Buddha before.
