Chapter 420 Invitation
Suddenly, two waves appeared in Zhang Chu's perception, and the waves seemed to come from the sky above.
Soon, the wave enveloped the place where the golden light had just been emitted, and was retracted in an instant.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he saw something, "Clairvoyance and hearing!"
"It seems that this world is really the Journey to the West!"
Looking at the two figures disappearing in the sky, Zhang Chu thought to himself: It seems that there are still two or three hundred years before the Journey to the West officially begins.
The monkey had lived happily for two or three hundred years, but when he saw the old monkey around him die, he began to seek immortality and ask for the way.
As for the matter of the Monkey King becoming his apprentice, Zhang Chu had no intention of getting involved at all.
Even though he had never seen the most powerful people in this world, Zhang Chu did not think that a mere golden immortal like himself could get involved in such a big event as the journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures.
As for the story that when he made trouble in Heaven, he took the opportunity to obtain the golden elixir refined by Laojun?
That's funny. There are some things that monkeys can take but Zhang Chu can't.
If you take it, you might be reduced to ashes and your soul will be destroyed.
Not to mention what Zhang Chu was planning, the Thousand-Li Eyes and the Wind-Hearing Ears in the sky also returned to the Lingxiao Palace.
"His Majesty,"
The two of them respectfully reported to the Jade Emperor who was sitting in the main hall, "It was the stone monkey born from the Flower-Fruit Mountain who was born. He couldn't control his own supernatural powers, and the golden light in his eyes shot straight into the Bull Fight!"
"Nothing, nothing!"
The Jade Emperor, who was sitting in the main hall, nodded to show that he understood.
How could a newly born monkey possibly cause any disturbance in his heart?
It would be the same even if the monkey was the Buddhist missionary to obtain Buddhist scriptures.
In the original text of Journey to the West, the Buddha Tathagata and the monkey had this conversation: "You are a monkey spirit, how dare you deceive yourself and want to seize the throne of the Jade Emperor? He has been practicing since he was young and has suffered through 1,750 kalpas. Each kalpa lasts 129,600 years."
Just from this conversation, we can know that when it comes to cultivation, the Jade Emperor has practiced for hundreds of millions of years.
Even the world of Journey to the West is just an extremely simple world of Journey to the West, and has no potential connection with the legendary primitive world.
After billions of years of cultivation, let alone the monkey not learning any skills, even if it had learned any skills, it could still be crushed to death with just one finger.
Besides, if the Jade Emperor’s cultivation was weak, how could he possibly rule the three realms?
No matter what kind of world we are in, strength is respected.
The fact that he could suppress all the powerful beings in the Three Realms and become the Supreme of the Three Realms was enough to prove how powerful the Jade Emperor's cultivation was.
The birth of the monkey was just a trivial matter in the Jade Emperor's mind.
"Do you two have anything important to do?"
The Jade Emperor looked at Clairvoyance and Super Ear who were still standing in the main hall, and said this with some doubt.
"His Majesty,"
After the Thousand-Li Eyes and the Wind-Ears exchanged a glance, they saluted and said, "When we were searching for the source of the golden light, we also found a relatively unfamiliar strong man at the place where the stone monkey was born!"
"Oh?"
After hearing this, the Jade Emperor became interested.
Anyone who can be seen by the clairvoyance and the keen hearing in this hall can be called a strong man, so he is definitely not weak.
When did such a powerful person appear in the human world?
"Where?"
"On a mountain near the capital of Aolai Kingdom!"
The Jade Emperor nodded gently and looked at his confidant Taibai Jinxing, "Taibai, if you have time, go down to the mortal world and see what's going on!"
"My lord, take the order!"
Taibai Jinxing bowed and replied.
He could understand what the Jade Emperor meant. He wanted to see how strong the powerful person detected by the clairvoyant and the sharp-eared was. If he was very strong, he could invite him to be an official in the Heavenly Palace.
Taibai Jinxing waited until the court meeting was over, then rode on a cloud and headed towards the country of Aolai that Qianliyan and Shunfenger had mentioned.
As soon as he stepped into the territory of Aolai Kingdom, Taibai Jinxing's eyes were filled with some surprise. The people of this country were indeed strong.
In his perception, there were many people practicing martial arts in the entire country, and many of them had achieved some success. The gusts of blood and smoke rising into the sky represented that the country's military power was extremely abundant.
"Changsheng Temple?"
The noisy sounds around him reached Taibai Jinxing's ears. Soon, he understood why the country's military strength was so abundant.
This is all related to a concept of longevity that was held over a hundred years ago.
Could it be that the strong man that Qianliyan Shunfenger mentioned is the strong man in Changsheng Temple?
He did not hesitate and went straight to the Changsheng Temple in the capital of Aolai Kingdom.
Soon, they arrived at the foot of the green mountain where the Changsheng Temple was located.
Zhang Chu, who was in the hall, seemed to sense something and stood up as well.
"There is a strong man coming,"
He said to a waiter beside him, "Follow me to greet you!"
"Yes, Taoist Master!"
The young Taoist priest immediately followed Zhang Chu and walked towards the gate of Changsheng Temple.
While walking on the road, Zhang Chu was silently wondering who the visitor was.
He could feel the power of the person who came. Even though the aura was peaceful, Zhang Chu could also feel the tyranny hidden beneath that peaceful aura.
Could it be that the person came with bad intentions?
Just as he reached the gate of the Taoist temple, an old man with a white beard appeared in Zhang Chu's eyes.
"Immortal immortal,"
Zhang Chu bowed slightly, "Hello, fellow Taoist!"
"I am Taibai, nice to meet you, fellow Taoist!"
After seeing Zhang Chu, the old man's expression became serious and he bowed to Zhang Chu and said.
"Fellow Taoist, please!"
Zhang Chu did not sense any malice from the old man in front of him. Besides, talking while standing at the door was not the right way to entertain guests, so he directly invited the Taoist named Taibai to come in.
After returning to the hall, the two sat down and made some preliminary attempts. However, Zhang Chu became a little impatient.
Even though the Taoist in front of him who called himself Taibai was very powerful, he was not weak either.
"I don't know what you are here for?"
"I am Taibai Jinxing in the Heavenly Palace,"
The Taibai Jinxing looked at Zhang Chu in front of him and reintroduced himself, "In compliance with His Majesty's order, I invite you to serve as an official in the Heavenly Court!"
"Taibaijinxing?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Chu looked at Taibai Jinxing carefully. He finally understood what was going on with the murderous aura he had sensed from this Taoist before.
As an immortal official in heaven, he naturally has a peaceful aura.
However, Venus is the planet of killing, so it is normal to feel murderous under the auspicious atmosphere.
But, please ask yourself to be an official in heaven?
Zhang Chu thought for a moment and said, "Fellow Daoist, I need to think about this matter carefully!"
"No hurry, no hurry!"
Taibai Jinxing was extremely patient and didn't seem to be anxious at all.
For ordinary people, becoming an immortal official in heaven is a good thing that is beyond their reach.
However, for the Taoist priest in front of him, that is not necessarily the case.
If you are strong, you naturally have the right to choose.
In particular, Taibai Jinxing could feel that Zhang Chu had an extremely strong aura of humanity. Even though it was not as good as those top human beings, it was still extraordinary.
If such beings could be brought into the Heavenly Court, it would be of great benefit to the Heavenly Court.
not to mention.
After the two chatted for a while, they agreed on a time to think, and then Taibai Jinxing planned to go back to report. Watching Taibai Jinxing riding the auspicious cloud away, Zhang Chu sat in the hall and thought.
"How did he find me?"
After thinking for a long time, Zhang Chu finally reacted. He must have been discovered by them when he was secretly observing Thousand-Li Eyes and Wind-Hearing Ears.
After all, in this world, the Clairvoyance and the Super Ear have the function of monitoring the three realms.
If Zhang Chu continued to hide, the chance of being discovered would be extremely small. However, if he made any move, in this world with strict laws, it would only be a matter of time before he was discovered.
However, I still need to think carefully before going to heaven to serve as an official.
It is good to practice while working in the public sector, and it makes sense no matter what time it is.
In the Heavenly Palace, there may be very few decisive techniques in this world, but those ordinary techniques must be countless.
If you can become an immortal official, you can naturally acquire a lot of skills to perfect the Taoist scriptures of longevity.
However, joining the Heavenly Palace means that you have to be at the orders of others.
For a moment, Zhang Chu was a little undecided.
At this moment, Taibai Jinxing left the Changsheng Temple and went straight to the heaven.
In a short while, he had returned to heaven. He had no intention of returning to his own residence to rest, but went straight to report.
This is the order from the Jade Emperor, so no matter what the result is, I have to report back.
"Greetings to Your Majesty!"
In a palace, the Jade Emperor sat there, watching Taibai Jinxing walk in, nodded slightly, and pointed casually, "Sit down!"
"how?"
After Taibai Jinxing sat down, the Jade Emperor began to ask.
"That Taoist is indeed a strong man,"
After hesitating for a while, Taibai Jinxing slowly said, "He is an extremely powerful warrior, and his strength is not inferior to that of this humble minister!"
"Oh?"
After hearing what Taibai Jinxing said, the Jade Emperor really became interested, not inferior to Taibai Jinxing. It was really worth taking seriously.
Don't be fooled by Taibai Jinxing's appearance as a god. His strength is extremely powerful even in the heaven.
"Then is he willing to become an immortal official?"
"He said he would think about it!"
"Think about it?"
The Jade Emperor was immediately a little surprised, "Isn't he afraid that his life span will run out?"
Why is heaven so attractive to those who practice Taoism? It is because there are truly immortal gods, but they are very few.
Most of the gods are in danger of dying.
In heaven, there are peaches and golden elixirs that can prolong life.
Therefore, those who practice Taoism, after becoming immortals, are willing to join the Heavenly Palace and use the peaches and elixirs in the Heavenly Palace to prolong their lifespan.
Therefore, ordinary practitioners and even immortals, upon hearing that there is a chance to become immortal officials, would flock to it.
Suddenly a person appeared who was invited by the Heavenly Court to become an immortal official, and he still had to consider it. How could the Jade Emperor not be surprised?
"His Majesty,"
Taibai Jinxing said uncertainly, "From what I feel, the Taoist Changsheng seems to have survived the three disasters!"
"Instead of avoiding the three disasters!"
"Survived the three disasters?"
The Jade Emperor suddenly stared at Taibai Jinxing and asked, "Are you sure you have survived the three disasters?"
"I am not sure,"
Taibai Jinxing shook his head, "But, that's how it feels!"
"Then he really isn't afraid of his life span!"
The Jade Emperor nodded. He still approved of Taibai Jinxing's vision.
"and,"
Having said this, Taibai Jinxing continued, "That Taoist still seems to be carrying a lot of human destiny!"
"Even if he is not as powerful as those in the human world, he should not be underestimated!"
"Does it have its own humane luck?"
After hearing this, the Jade Emperor was even more surprised.
The sudden appearance of a person who had survived the three disasters was surprising enough to him, but he even had human luck?
"Wait a few days, then you can go down to the mortal world and ask him what he thinks!"
After pondering for a while, the Jade Emperor said, "Try to persuade him to go to heaven and become an official!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Taibai Jinxing nodded.
He could understand why His Majesty thought so.
It would be of great benefit to the Heavenly Court if a Taoist priest with his own luck joined the Heavenly Court.
In particular, it is very likely that the Taoist Changsheng survived the three disasters rather than avoiding them.
Only those who practice Taoism and forcibly overcome the three disasters can be truly called immortals, can truly achieve immortality, and can be considered to have great supernatural powers.
As for those who avoided the three disasters, even if they had great magical powers and relied on the longevity peaches and golden elixirs to live for billions of years, they still had no future.
As long as the treasure that prolongs life is cut off, all you can do is wait for death.
The most important thing is that if you avoid the three disasters, you will basically have no chance of achieving the Great Way.
Even though you can continuously accumulate magic power, your level of Taoism cannot be improved.
Basically, he is just a god who lives a life of idleness and waits for death.
After Taibai Jinxing reported the matter, he walked out of the palace where the Jade Emperor was. He needed to prepare.
When I see Zhang Chu next time, I will definitely bring some gifts for him.
Only those who have survived the three disasters can be considered true friends for a powerful person like Taibai Jinxing.
The Jade Emperor sitting in the palace had a thoughtful look on his face. He kept pinching his fingers, as if he was calculating something.
However, as for the calculations of the Taoist Changsheng, it was really a blank, with no information at all.
"It seems that he has really survived the three disasters!"
The Jade Emperor stopped calculating and confirmed that Zhang Chu had indeed survived the three disasters, rather than avoiding them.
After a cultivator has overcome the three disasters, it can be said that he has truly transcended the Three Realms and is no longer bound by the Five Elements.
All the information about the monk will be completely erased. The price to be paid in order to deduce the information about the monk is so high that even for the Jade Emperor, it is a bit painful.
"If this person can be accepted as a member of your team,"
After confirming this, the Jade Emperor really wanted to recruit Zhang Chu into his fold. "For the Heavenly Court, it means we have gained another general!"
The Heavenly Palace originally gathered the luck of the three realms. The more powerful the Heavenly Palace was, the more benefits it would naturally bring to the Jade Emperor.
The Taoist who lived forever was able to survive the three disasters. Apart from anything else, his cultivation alone was extremely high, and he must have had some supernatural powers.
Even those ascetics who are not good at fighting will definitely have extremely strong fighting abilities after surviving the three disasters.
Both the body and the soul are immortal, and are in an indestructible state. How could the fighting ability be poor?
For a monk who has survived the three disasters, ordinary spells and attacks are basically no different from tickling.
