Chapter 834: Havoc in Heaven!
Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
Although the system version of the games and TV Series were great for the players and viewers to understand and learn the spiritual spells and Marital Dao, none of the people living in this turbid world had talents that were as great as those of Sun Wukong, who had a Heaven-born and Heaven-nourished body and all kinds of miraculous fortunate encounters. Even if they could obtain a tiny bit of understanding, it would be extremely difficult for them to gain Sun Wukong’s super abilities with their much inferior talent.
In all kinds of games and TV Series, they had experienced countless world-destroying catastrophes cast by gods and immortals. During the process, the players and viewers had a clearer understanding of themselves and knew that they were indeed extremely insignificant in the eyes of gods and immortals.
After accepting reality, they were no longer impatient. Instead, they obtained steady progress patiently and improved themselves little by little.
At this moment, the viewers actually saw the Heavens giving the Monkey King the title ‘The Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal’!
“This... is another attempt to recruit him using a pacifistic method...?” After all, even the Pagoda Bearer, Devaraja Li Jin, a famous immortal general, and his son were defeated, so it was natural for the Gold Star of Venus to offer a compromise and settle everything.
“In my opinion, he doesn’t need the Heavens to give him the title of ‘Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal’; he can give himself this title,” Jiang Xiaoyue mumbled, “This way, he will live a free life and doesn’t have to abide by the rules of Heaven.”
“Um...” Beside her, the Heavenly Faction’s Elder Xiao Yunhe explained, “Despite his unruliness, the Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal is a being who respects his master and Dao. The patriarch instructed him repeatedly not to make trouble, which is why he makes peace whenever he can.”
Perhaps the Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal had many internal struggles...
“I see...” Remembering Sun Wukong’s weeping face when Patriarch Subodhi kicked him out, Jiang Xiaoyue suddenly understood something.
Although the Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal was a stone-born monkey, if he was just a powerful wild monkey, people wouldn’t have passed down the legend about him for thousands of years and admired him so much.
In the Journey to the West, Wukong was indeed unruly, but he had his principles.
Even though the patriarch had scolded him and called him a mischievous monkey in exasperation, he had never discarded his respect for his master and Dao, which was the tradition and soul of Huaxia Culture in the past thousands of years.
At this moment, the viewers watching Journey to the West began to realize that even though the Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal had transcended the Three Regions, he was different from those ‘gods’ who looked down on the mortal world with cold eyes. He was an existence with blood, flesh, and mortal emotions.
Although he didn’t need the Heavens to grant him the title of ‘The Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal’, it was the first time in the history of the Heaven to grant the title of ‘sage’ to a young demon immortal who was only a few hundreds of years old.
Even though it was an empty title without any actual power, it suited the temperament of the Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal.
In Heaven, Wukong visited all kinds of gods and immortals. When meeting the Three Pure Ones, he addressed them as ‘Your Reverence’. When he saw the Four Thearchs, he would say, ‘Your Majesty’. After spending about eight years on learning ceremonious greetings, he certainly wouldn’t act like a wild beast. After the previous battle, they got to know each other better. While making all kinds of friends in Heaven and calling them his brothers, Wukong enjoyed his life very much.
Due to his friendship with these gods and immortals, when Wukong encountered difficulties on his way to the west, he would be able to enlist their help whenever he went up to Heaven despite the havoc that he was about to cause.
The star spirits were certainly his good friends. Among them, the Gold Star of Venus was friendly with Sun Wukong and had dissuaded the Jade Emperor from sending an army to the lower region to arrest him several times.
Three Pure Ones, Four Thearchs, Five Elders... and Nine Luminaries, 28 Constellations, the Four Devarajas, and the Eight Immortals...
There were many gods and immortals with official positions, let alone those who were independent and didn’t hold official titles.
The gods and immortals were as many and dazzling as the stars in the sky, showing the viewers a huge system of immortals and gods.
The immortals were prosperous and many. While countless immortals were governed by the Heavenly Court, there were quite many who were not bound by the rules of Heaven!
The viewers couldn’t imagine what kind of existence dared to fight such a powerful system of gods and buddhas.
Of course, things didn’t end here.
In the Heaven System, not everyone liked the Great Sage.
“Hehe... Heaven seems fun...” amused, the cultivators laughed and said.
“Your Majesty, the Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal has no duties right now, and he merely dawdles away his time. He has become quite chummy with the various Stars and Constellations of Heaven, calling them his friends regardless of whether they are his superiors or subordinates!” In the Treasure Hall of Divine Mists, the Star Spirit of Wuqu reported, “I fear that his idleness might lead to roguery!”
At this moment, the Garden of Immortal Peaches had a empty position.
“Summon Sun Wukong and get him to take charge of the Garden of Immortal Peaches, so he won’t cause trouble due to idleness.”
“The Garden of Immortal Peaches...?” The viewers exchanged a look.
There were 3,600 peach trees in the Garden of Immortal Peaches. In the front were 1,200 trees. The fruits ripened once every 3,000 years, and after one taste of them, a man would become an immortal enlightened in the Dao with healthy limbs and a lightweight body. In the middle were 1,200 trees. The fruits ripened once every 6,000 years. If a man ate them, he would ascend to Heaven with the mist and never grow old. At the back were 1,200 trees with fruits that ripened once every 9,000 years, and if eaten, would make a man’s age equal to that of Heaven and Earth, the sun and the moon.
The story had shown how difficult it was to obtain the way of immortality, but here in the Garden of Immortal Peaches, eating one immortal peach would give one the age equaling to that of Heaven and Earth!
“There’s such a treasure-?!” Since they began watching Journey to the West, the cultivators were shocked so much that they had become numb by now.
Staying in the Garden of Immortal Peaches, the monkey lived a peaceful life and occasionally stole some peaches to eat. It was a great job for this monkey.
However, when the seven immortal maidens came here to pick the peaches, Wukong heard that all kinds of big and small immortals and gods from all palaces were invited to attend the Grand Festival of Immortal Peaches”.
All kinds of big and small gods and immortals from different palaces were invited but him, the Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal!
Wukong had suppressed his temper to follow his master’s instructions, but such slights were made to him again and again, making it impossible for the monkey to keep his temper in control.
Having been fooled once before, the Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal felt like he was being fooled again.
This time, he was serious.
He would rather return and be an idle king than to be a target of disdain, sneer, and mockery in Heaven!
Perhaps, under such a system, there was no place for the unruly and proud Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal.
His just couldn’t fit in.
Even if there wasn’t the Star Spirit of Wuqu to oppose him, there might be the Star Spirit of Wenqu or other immortal officials.
The cause of the conflict seemed accidental, but it was in fact inevitable.
This time...
The entire Heaven was turned upside-down!
He ruined the Grand Festival of Immortal Peaches, ate all the immoral peaches, drank all the immortal wine, and shattered the desk, chairs, bowls, and plates at the banquet! After getting drunk, he even ate all of the immortal elixirs in Tushita Palace!
Since he could no longer bear the rules, he didn’t need to anymore!
On Flower-Fruit Mountain, the demons all bowed their heads while the Monkey King, dressed in gold armor and his phoenix-plumed cap and holding the Compliant Golden-Hooped Rod, stood tall before the heavenly generals and soldiers and all kinds of gods and immortals who descended to arrest him. Behind the Monkey King, a golden flag flapped in the wind with five words on it – [The Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal.]
From a small demon monkey who concentrated on the pursuit of Dao, he had become what he was now step by step.
Seeing this scene, the cultivators and warriors all became teary-eyed!
