CHAPTER 547: CHAPTER 485, SHI JI SUBDUES WUKONG

Inside the Doushuai Temple, Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad’s eyes flickered with a hint of brilliance as he said with appreciation, "Gathering Zhao Gongming, Kong Xuan, and others to establish the Law Enforcement Team was the second correct thing you did while you were in the Jie Sect."

Bai Jin curiously asked, "Master, what was the first correct thing?"

"Hehe~ Naturally, it was your planning that led to the destruction of the Jie Sect," Lord Lao Zi said with a chuckle.

Bai Jin choked and coughed twice hurriedly, then quickly said, "Master, you really mustn’t speak like this, it makes me feel guilty!"

Lord Lao Zi laughed heartily and said, "Feeling guilty about what? If your Master comes looking for trouble with you, come and find me... no, go to Doulu Heaven and seek the Taishang Saint, with his assistance, you’ll be shielded."

Bai Jin clasped his hands and bowed in a plea, "Master, it’s probably best if such a thing doesn’t happen."

"Alright! I’ll say no more from now on."

"Thank you, Master!"

Lord Lao Zi looked outside and said, "Aren’t you going to take action?"

Bai Jin also looked outside and said with a mischievous smile, "I trust them, with their strength now, perhaps they are no match for Duo Bao Tathagata one-on-one, but if they join forces, let Duo Bao pray for his fortune! I guess he will be beaten quite miserably."

...

Within the Gangfeng Realm, a white cloud raced along at incredible speed, as swift as a shooting star, chasing wind and moon, surrounded by the howling Gang Wind, while smooth mountain peaks stood tall in the silent space.

Just as the Somersault Cloud was about to pass through the Gang Wind Layer, it suddenly stopped. A cold figure stood atop a mountain peak, her robes fluttering in the howling wind, with bone ornaments dancing in the breeze.

Sun Wukong felt heavy in his heart—was it her? The woman who could come and go from the Gouchen Emperor Palace as she pleased.

Now in Sun Wukong’s heart, the presence of Emperor Gouchen is undoubtedly the most powerful in the Three Realms, and the Gouchen Emperor Palace the most prestigious place.

The Judicial Temple under the jurisdiction of the Gouchen Emperor Palace, Yang Jiao, Yang Jiao, Nezha, Ao Bing are all powerful enough to rival himself.

Just sending any monkey Divine General would make him unable to resist, not to mention the subsequent emergence of several Judicial Celestials. A mere hint of their aura felt like it could annihilate heaven and earth, so powerful it was beyond description.

Now, Sun Wukong no longer naively believed that this woman who could freely enter and leave the Gouchen Emperor Palace was a weakling. She was probably also an existence terrifyingly powerful.

He gained a clearer concept of this Emperor Gouchen as the foremost power in the Three Realms without the Emperor Gouchen having to personally take action. His mere subordinates could overthrow the Heavenly Court or a few could suppress the leader of Buddhism, The Buddha, hence the title of being the first in the Three Realms.

His own Master, Master Puti, might not be a match for subordinates of Emperor Gouchen, at least Master Puti never gave him such a terrifying impression, and Master Puti did not have disciples who were so powerful and invincible.

Sun Wukong’s mind raced with thoughts as he carried the Jingu Bang, and with a sheepish laugh, he said, "Sister, do you recognize me? It’s me, Sun Wukong! I was the one who gave you Flat Peaches."

"Is it ripe?"

"Not ripe, not ripe, it will be in a couple of days.

I won’t disturb sister enjoying the cool here; I, Old Sun, will take my leave now."

Shi Ji said calmly, "Sun Wukong, it is you that I’ve been waiting for."

She stretched out her hand and a mountainous Big Seal emerged onto her palm, and said, "Sun Wukong, you’ve repeatedly defied the Heavenly Court, and this time, you’ve caused a great disaster, creating a Big Chaos in Heaven.

By Emperor Gouchen’s command, I am to imprison you under this mountain for five hundred years, as a warning to others~"

Sun Wukong’s eyes suddenly widened, five hundred years? Old Sun has not even lived for five hundred years, he felt a surge of panic and immediately turned around, with a flip his Somersault Cloud shot out swiftly.

Shi Ji tossed the small mountain seal from her hand, which streaked across as a stream of light and appeared above Sun Wukong, forming the phantom of a Divine Mountain.

Sun Wukong looked up, his eyes nearly splitting — no escaping this!

The shadow of the Divine Mountain plummeted downward, engulfing Sun Wukong within and falling towards the Earth Immortal Realm. As it descended, the shadow of the Divine Mountain absorbed the nature’s spiritual energy and gradually solidified.

Within the shadow of the Divine Mountain, Sun Wukong roared in despair, "Emperor Gouchen~"

Boom~

The Divine Mountain crashed at the boundary between Nan Zhanbu Continent and Western Continent, forming a new peak amidst the mountains. The peak quickly sprouted flowers, grasses, and trees, lush and vibrant with life.

At the summit was a depression, forming a Lotus Pond. Next to the pond stood a Taoist Temple inscribed with three large characters: Three Pure Ones Temple.

At the center of the pond was a whirlpool, with the water revolving around it, yet unable to enter.

Bang~

Bang~

Bang~

The sound of striking emanated from the mouth of the vortex, where runes and prohibitions flashed.

Above the pond, ripples suddenly formed, and a foot stepped out from within, followed by the figure of Bai Jin, who appeared and stood atop the vortex on the lake’s surface, then directly entered the vortex.

Below the whirlpool, within the hollow of the mountain, lay a cavern with rolling magma beneath. A stone pillar stood erect amidst the magma.

Sun Wukong stood on that stone pillar, his feet bound by two chains, waving the Jingu Bang and pounding forcefully against the belly of the mountain.

"Wukong~" a voice resounded.

Sun Wukong paused in his movements, looked up suddenly, and saw flames of rage burning in his eyes. Upon seeing the newcomer, his aura faltered, and he exclaimed in surprise, "Emperor Gouchen!" Taking a step back subconsciously, he seemed a bit guilty.

Bai Jin walked down step by step, stood in front of Sun Wukong, and said solemnly, "Wukong, you have truly disappointed me."

Sun Wukong defended himself, saying, "Great Emperor, it was they who bullied your old Sun too much. How could they hold the Peach Banquet without inviting your old Sun?"

"Do you think you are very powerful?"

Sun Wukong placed his hands on his hips, arrogantly saying, "In the entire Heavenly Palace, aside from your Gouchen Emperor Palace, your old Sun fears no one."

Bai Jin said, disappointed, "You underestimate the Immortals of the Three Realms too much. Since the beginning of the Primordial World, four great Calamities have passed, countless years unremembered, and numerous prodigies have emerged. Do you think that with just a few years of cultivation, you can surpass the millions of years of arduous cultivation by other Immortals and Gods?

Everyone who can attend the Peach Banquet is a great god of the Three Realms. Even the Judicial Celestial Yang Jian, Nezha, and Ao Bing have no qualifications to attend. What achievements do you have?"

"I~" Sun Wukong found himself speechless for a moment.

"Because of your mother, I have imposed certain restraints on you, yet you harbor rebellious thoughts, and have even caused such a tremendous disaster. Now, even I cannot save you."

Bai Jin shook his head slightly, expressing, "So be it~ From now on, I will no longer concern myself with you. You will bear the consequences of the chaos you’ve caused."

Sun Wukong suddenly looked up, panicking as he called out, "Great Emperor~"

Previously unaware, but now knowing that Emperor Gouchen is one of his few elders who cares greatly for him, Sun Wukong feels for Bai Jin as he would for a father. Now, with Bai Jin severing their relationship, Sun Wukong becomes instantly perturbed.

In his panic, he said, "Great Emperor, I know my mistakes now, hereafter I will surely heed your words~"

Bai Jin’s expression remained calm as he walked upwards.

"Great Emperor~ Emperor~"

Sun Wukong abruptly soared upwards, Bang Bang~ the two chains tautened, pulling Sun Wukong into the air.

"Ah~" Sun Wukong exerted all his strength, his body igniting with flames, but no matter how he struggled, he could not break free from the chains’ imprisonment.
