Chapter 173: Chapter 173 Qingxu Daode Zhenjun

There were some more replies.

May Your Life Be Full of Laughter Like Flowers: "This might not be a good idea. In the original timeline, the Jade Emperor, having no one to turn to, proceeded with the initiative to cull the population and destroy the peaches,

but based on the scenario simulated by the original poster, with the support of Brother Monkey, more and more people would definitely side with the Jade Emperor.

And since the flat peaches were an important reward, if Ao Lie completely destroyed them, then the punishment he would ultimately face would definitely be more severe than what Wukong suffered in the original timeline!

He doesn’t have Wukong’s background, and being cast into the cycle of reincarnation would be considered getting off lightly."

Lèle Le: "Yeah, maybe the Chan Teaching is just waiting for you to make a mistake!"

Leader of the Eastern Melons: "So I think destroying the Peach Garden is a bad idea, because regardless of who does it, as the manager and guardian, Ao Lie won’t be able to escape the charge of negligence.

Unless Sun Wukong communicates with the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother in advance, if the Jade Emperor ends up mediating and decides to give them both a symbolic punishment, Sun Wukong won’t have any room to argue."

Wu Zhan: "Monkey Brother could take the opportunity to collect all the peaches before the fight starts, then give the bulk to the Jade Emperor and have him secretly meddle with fate. After letting Ao Lie fight, they could then pin the blame on the Chan Teaching. That would settle everything."

"The ideas of these seniors happen to be in line with Old Sun’s thinking," Sun Wukong scratched his head as a notification sound rang in his mind.

[You have received a new suggestion: Communicate with the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother in advance. Completing the suggestion will reward you with a Level 4 Treasure Chest.]

[You have received a new suggestion: Find an opportunity to take the flat peaches in advance. Completing the suggestion will reward you with a Level 4 Treasure Chest.]

These two suggestions gave Sun Wukong greater confidence in his next moves.

Looking at the other replies.

Shepherd of the Flames: "There’s not much left for me to say since you’ve covered it all, so let me talk about Qingxu Daode Zhenjun.

Surely, Brother Monkey is likely to go up against him after Ao Lie hit the White Cloud Boy.

To put it simply, this person is a typical student of the Chan Teaching, incredibly hypocritical.

Before the Divine Enthronement War, he forcibly took away Huang Feihu’s eldest son, who was only two or three years old at that time—Huang Tianhua, without others’ consent.

In his view, it might have been a significant opportunity for Huang Tianhua, but in reality, it was an outright act of human trafficking.

Moreover, he took disciples as a means of avoiding disaster and didn’t have any good intentions, so in the end, both of his disciples, Huang Tianhua and Yang Ren, ended up being listed on the Investiture of the Gods."

Straw Man Worshipper: "Human traffickers deserve to die!"

South African Salted Fish: "Too bad he’s got a big background, the Saint of the Chan Teaching thinks highly of him, and Sun Wukong can’t just kill him outright now."

Lu Labai: "A good beating is still doable, though."

[You have received a new suggestion: Give Qingxu Daode Zhenjun a good beating. Completing the suggestion will reward you with a Level 4 Treasure Chest.]

"Such actions are indeed hateful!" Sun Wukong’s eyes flashed with fierce light. Even without this suggestion, once he met Qingxu Daode Zhenjun, he would have had to take action as a lesson.

Not on behalf of Huang Tianhua, but to release his own pent-up frustration.

...

Green Peak Mountain, Ziyang Cave.

This is the abode of Qingxu Daode Zhenjun, a Golden Immortal of the Chan Teaching.

At this moment, in a peach garden on the mountain, two Daoists were playing Go under a tree.

The gaunt-faced Daoist was Qingxu Daode Zhenjun, and the one wearing the Bagua Purple Ribbon Immortal Robe was the visiting Guang Chengzi.

Qingxu Daode Zhenjun asked, "It has been a while since brother has visited me here. What brings you today, if I may ask?"

Guang Chengzi said with a light laugh, "Previously, before the peach banquet, our Chan Teaching would always have you send someone to the Heavenly Court to pick the peaches. This time is different from the past, and there’s something you need to do."

Qingxu Daode Zhenjun was somewhat surprised and quickly said, "Senior Brother, you are one step too late. I have already sent Baiyun Tong’er to the Heavenly Court, and he should be on his way back now."

Guang Chengzi slightly furrowed his brow, "It seems that this demon monkey is quite lucky; we’ll have to find another opportunity."

Qingxu Daode Zhenjun asked in confusion, "Demon monkey? Is Senior Brother referring to Sun Wukong?"

Guang Chengzi nodded, "Indeed, Sun Wukong has become a major threat, and both Senior Brother of the South Pole and I believe we must eliminate him as soon as possible."

Qingxu Daode Zhenjun, of course, had heard of Sun Wukong and agreed with Guang Chengzi’s words.

In recent years, the Haotian Jade Emperor had used Sun Wukong as the vanguard, repeatedly causing setbacks to the Chan Teaching, and our influence in the Heavenly Court had been continuously weakened.

Guang Chengzi continued, "Now that Sun Wukong has taken the true dragon Ao Lie of the Western Sea as his disciple, and thanks to his master’s influence, Ao Lie has been appointed by the Heavenly Emperor as the guardian of the Peach Garden,

so I thought to take advantage of this peach-picking opportunity to scheme against Ao Lie and then provoke Sun Wukong to act."

Qingxu Daode Zhenjun pondered, "If what Senior Brother says is true, there might still be an opportunity. Ao Lie has just taken up his post and might not know the rules well. He could potentially obstruct my Baiyun Tong’er from picking peaches."

Guang Chengzi’s expression remained calm, "Then let’s wait."

Afterward, the two of them played chess while waiting.

After an indeterminate period of time, Baiyun Tongzi returned, looking quite disheveled. Upon seeing the two immortals, he knelt on the ground with a thud, "Disciple pays his respects to Uncle-Master Guang Chengzi, and to Master."

The two Daoists looked at each other, both thinking that an opportunity had presented itself.

Qingxu Daode Zhenjun inquired, "Tong’er, what happened? Where are the peaches you picked?"

Baiyun Tongzi immediately responded with grievance, "Please, Master, uphold justice. When I went to the Peach Garden to pick peaches, there was a new manager on duty who was incredibly arrogant, showing no regard for our Chan Teaching at all,

he even attacked me and injured me."

Qingxu Daode Zhenjun’s brow furrowed, "You are a True Immortal, and you wield a top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure; even a Golden Immortal would struggle to defy you, so how could Ao Lie, the guardian of the Peach Garden and presumably of lower cultivation, have injured you?"

Upon hearing this, Baiyun Tongzi no longer dared to conceal anything and reported truthfully, "Master, the dragon belongs to the Golden Immortal class and also possesses powerful magical treasures, which easily knocked me over."

Guang Chengzi, who was beside him, queried, "Did you see clearly that he truly is a Golden Immortal?"

Baiyun Tongzi hastily responded, "I dare not deceive Uncle-Master; I saw it very clearly."

The two Daoists exchanged another glance, and Guang Chengzi appeared shocked.

Qingxu Daode Zhenjun asked, "Why does Senior Brother also seem surprised?"

Guang Chengzi explained, "What you don’t know is that Ao Lie only transformed into a true dragon over ten years ago, and at that time, he was merely an Earth Immortal."

To have become a Golden Immortal in just over ten years?

Qingxu Daode Zhenjun was astounded, knowing that the purer the bloodline of the Dragon Race, the heavier the karmic restraints they carry, making their cultivation progress all the slower.

Unless they have virtue and destiny to offset their karma, but given Ao Lie’s personal circumstances, he clearly lacked these.

Guang Chengzi’s expression was also grave as he thought about Sun Wukong’s rapid improvement in strength, which was even more dramatic!

Was it natural talent? Or some unique secret cultivation method?

Qingxu Daode Zhenjun asked again, "Senior Brother, what should we do now?"

Guang Chengzi placed a chess piece down emphatically and said in a solemn tone, "Direct action! Since Ao Lie is not weak, Junior Brother will personally apprehend him and then find another chance to infuriate Sun Wukong."

Confidence flickered in Qingxu Daode Zhenjun’s eyes, and he nodded, "That sounds good. I haven’t made a move since the Divine Enthronement battle; this time, I’d like to witness this demon monkey’s power myself."

In the past few years, he had often heard of Sun Wukong’s deeds in the mountains, and the disciples of the Chan Teaching frequently suffered setbacks against him, yet they could do little about it.

As one of the disciples most valued by his master, Qingxu Daode Zhenjun felt it was time he did something to show all parties that the Chan Teaching is not to be trifled with!
