Chapter 140: Chapter 140: Provoking Authority, Who’s Outsmarting Whom

This old thief is cunning indeed!

He started with a scolding, which seemed to implicate Ziwei Great Emperor and Wukong as well, but in reality, he downplayed the severity of the issue, turning an ugly affair into a trivial dispute and squabble.

Then he proceeded to destroy the evidence. One could imagine that once the Vajra Grand Formation was broken, any trace of the formation would be erased, allowing Wukong and Xu Gai to entirely deny their guilt, maybe even counter-accuse.

Sun Wukong, having been instructed by his internet friend 9527 with experience in criminal investigation, would never let this old thief have his way. He immediately shouted "Hold on," flashed his figure, and appeared above the Lunar Palace, while suspending the Creation Cauldron above his head.

"How dare you!" Southern Extremity Longevity Star’s countenance darkened as he scolded, "Sun Wukong, as the Northern Celestial Venerable, you must act according to the celestial laws, maintaining the order of the Heavenly Court’s north. Yet now, you let this desecration of the Heavenly Holy Realm happen.

Today, I will teach you how to properly hold your role as the Northern Celestial Venerable."

An intense pressure engulfed the Monkey King from all directions, as if a hundred thousand mountains were pressing down on him, rendering him immovable.

"Heh heh!" Sun Wukong’s eyes shone with a fierce gleam, his defiance clear, showing no sign of retreat, yet he thought to himself: If no one comes soon, Old Sun might just have to drop this burden!

This old thief was a high disciple of the Chan Teaching Saints and was also a rare expert among the Quasi-Saints, not someone he could currently contend with.

"Not stepping back?" Southern Extremity Longevity Star was not known for his mercy. Aware that the cauldron was a Supreme Innate Spiritual Treasure, he lifted his Dragon Head Walking Stick and struck at Sun Wukong.

A simple strike yet it drew upon the forces of heaven and earth, turning into a golden dragon that burst from the walking stick, roaring as it attacked Sun Wukong.

Another vast divine might swept in, clearly intending to forcibly destroy the great Formation that enveloped the Lunar Palace.

"Rise!" Sun Wukong wasn’t one to give up easily. He made the purely dark Creation Cauldron immensely enormous, its profound and obscure aura permeating the void.

At the same time, he swung the Ruyi Jingu Bang, welcoming the golden dragon.

"I, Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy, am not made of clay either!" Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy’s anger and grievance exploded at this moment. Having been manipulated to this extent, if he continued to endure, his time as Marshal would surely come to an end.

He, holding the Ubao Qinjin Rake, joined Sun Wukong in confronting the golden dragon.

"Amitabha." Golden Cicada likewise made a decision. Cloaked in his kasaya, with his hands pressed together, his body radiated a fierce golden light, illuminating the void, attempting to withstand that vast divine might.

Southern Extremity Longevity Star was finally furious. Whether it was the previous martial arts conference or the last time Bai He was captured, those were just the Jade Emperor suppressing the Chan Teaching, a normal part of power struggles.

But this time, it was three juniors challenging his authority!

For so many years, ever since he was tasked by his master to be the Immortal Emperor Changsheng of the Heavenly Court and had set detailed and comprehensive celestial laws, he had become a transcendent entity of this Heavenly Holy Realm.

His word was law in the Heavenly Court, just as the rebel Bai He had said; without his nod, the Jade Emperor couldn’t convict anyone.

And the crimes he decreed using celestial laws could not be contested by the Jade Emperor either.

Princess Yaoji, Princess Longji, Princess Weaver Girl, without exception, it was all the same.

Now, these three juniors dared to repeatedly challenge him.

Especially Sun Wukong, so many times!

If he didn’t teach a harsh lesson this time, the authority of Southern Extremity Longevity Star would completely vanish.

"Hmph!" He brought out a gold-edged white Jade Ruyi, emitting a supremely mysterious light and charm, the very Three Treasure Jade Ruyi that had greatly shown its divine power during the Divine Enthronement wars.

This supreme Innate Spiritual Treasure had killed Bi Xiao, captured Shen Gongbao, and even been used by Yuan Shi as a weapon to fight against Tongtian’s Qing Ping Sword.

When Yuan Shi left the Three Realms, he bestowed this treasure to his foremost disciple.

At that moment, if Southern Extremity Longevity Star had let the Jade Ruyi fall, the Monkey King would surely have had no strength left to resist.

"Old Jade Emperor, it seems Wukong really has to give up!" Sun Wukong, seeing this, realized the situation was grim.

Whoosh!

Just then, from the brilliant starscape north of the Heavenly Court, a golden sword flew, tearing through the boundless void, arriving in an instant.

Southern Extremity Longevity Star’s expression drastically changed, and he threw out the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi.

But the Flying Golden Sword had already reached above the Lunar Palace, instantly piercing the golden dragon and shattering the vast and boundless divine might, before finally colliding with the gold-trimmed Jade Ruyi.

Boom Crack!

Nine heavens thundered loudly, the void exploded, and both the sword and the Ruyi were thrown flying.

Southern Extremity Longevity Star retrieved the Jade Ruyi, while the sword was caught by a hand adorned with a floral wreath.

It was Jin Ling, the Golden Spirit Saint Mother, dressed in a golden robe, who stepped out from the distant stars, holding the Flying Golden Sword, arriving in front of everyone.

Accompanying her was a fiercely-looking female immortal, none other than Shi Ji, who had not been at the Tai Yin star previously.

"Golden Spirit Saint Mother, are you interfering in this matter?" Southern Extremity Longevity Star asked with a gloomy face.

"I have already interfered, so what, you disagree?" Golden Spirit Saint Mother replied indifferently.

"This matter has nothing to do with you!" Southern Extremity Longevity Star said.

"I see not only can you not discern good from evil, but you have also gone mad," mocked the Golden Spirit Saint Mother. "I, as the chief of the stars, when someone plots against the Tai Yin star, of course, I must punish the evildoer."

"But the affairs of the Northern Heavenly Court are not your concern," Southern Extremity Longevity Star retorted sternly.

"What a joke, when you, the Southern Extreme Immortal Emperor Changsheng, manage matters up to the North Pole, why can’t I?" Golden Spirit Saint Mother replied.

"I have come to uphold the majesty of the heavenly laws, regardless of location," Southern Extremity Longevity Star defended.

The two argued back and forth, clearly unable to reach a conclusion anytime soon.

Sun Wukong shouted, "Old thief of the South, just now you said Wukong was arguing and causing trouble, why are you now arguing with others yourself?"

Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy also laughed, "Immortal Emperor Changsheng, just let the chief of the stars preside over justice and punish the evildoer. What harm can there be? With so many people here, she surely can’t be partisan and corrupt?"

Southern Extremity Longevity Star’s face darkened, but now with Golden Spirit Saint Mother present, he no longer had a chance to make a move.

At this time, Golden Cicada spoke solemnly, "Since the arguments are endless, why not ask the Heavenly Emperor to judge this matter?"

Golden Spirit Saint Mother chuckled, "The monk’s suggestion is good."

Southern Extremity Longevity Star felt increasingly that something was amiss, wondering who exactly was plotting against whom?

He had just seen Ziwei Great Emperor in trouble and thought to quickly settle this matter to prevent the situation from worsening and affecting the Chan Teaching’s influence in the Heavenly Court.

But he had not expected the situation to escalate to this extent, leaving him unable to advance or retreat.

As he was pondering, suddenly, a ten thousand zhang golden light and endless auspicious qi spread from the Heavenly Court, and a broad Great Path seemed to appear in the void.

The Jade Emperor’s imperial carriage, drawn by nine true dragons, arrived above the Tai Yin star in the blink of an eye.
