Everyone believed that Sun Wukong had been far too reckless when he stormed the Heavenly Court back then.
But as someone who had started from East Continent,
crossed vast oceans,
struggled for decades,
and ultimately reached Slanting Moon Three Stars Cave in West Continent, successfully becoming Patriarch Bodhi's disciple and learning a body full of exquisite arts,
and who,
in an extremely short time, had surpassed cultivators who had cultivated far longer than he had,
even setting aside Sun Wukong's talent,
his intelligence was plainly above average no matter how one looked at it!
Therefore,
the reason he had stormed the Heavenly Court back then,
aside from venting his anger, was more because he had confidence in his own abilities.
He felt that he had been underestimated and needed to show his fist, letting the Heavenly Court know what he was worth so he could secure a better official post instead of becoming that bullshit Bimawen.
If that truly did not work,
then relying on his feat of daring to storm the Heavenly Court,
he could at least become a world-renowned peerless Demon King in the lower realm.
After all, he had even prepared the title Great Sage Equal to Heaven.
In short, he could advance or retreat; it was truly a safe bet!
Whether he hunkered down somewhere as a bandit or entered the court as an official, both were fine paths.
But he had never expected
that the Heavenly Court would truly have no martial honor!
Rather than giving up after a round of fighting and finding him too tough a nut to crack, or recruiting him again, they had directly called Buddha over!
One had to know,
before that, he had only fought figures like True Lord Erlang Shen and the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King.
