Li Jing felt his vision go black, and like the other Immortals before him, he fell straight to the ground.

"You dare look down on me," Sun Wukong said, looking at the fallen Li Jing with a hint of a smile in his eyes. "Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, I'd like to see if you still have the face to stay in the Heavenly Court after this."

Soon, everything on Li Jing was stripped away, leaving him in only his undergarments.

"Alright," Sun Wukong said, looking at his handiwork and laughing heartily. "Old Sun is leaving."

And so, the Immortals of the Heavenly Court were knocked out one by one, some Sun Wukong knew, and some he didn't.

Fortunately, Sun Wukong found that he hadn't encountered any Grand Unity Golden Immortals.

If he had encountered a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, his journey of knocking people out would likely have ended immediately.

It could only be said that this was Sun Wukong's good luck.

Immortals at the Grand Unity Golden Immortal level generally did not stay in this area.

At a certain moment.

"Sun Wukong!" An enraged voice echoed from a certain corner.

The matter of the Immortals being knocked out had finally been discovered after some time.

This led the Jade Emperor to issue an order to capture Sun Wukong.

Robbing the Heavenly Court Immortals of their treasures, Sun Wukong's demonic nature was hard to eradicate.

"Ha..."

Sun Wukong felt the terrifying aura of rage and chuckled. "Since you've found me, I won't stay any longer. This time's haul was quite good."

Compared to the spoils from the Underworld, Sun Wukong found that the Heavenly Court offered even more.

Treasures like Thousand-Mile Eye and Wind-Following Ear also became Sun Wukong's targets.

What Sun Wukong regretted was that Yang Jian was not in the Heavenly Court. Otherwise, Sun Wukong would have liked to let Yang Jian experience the feeling of being knocked out.

If the As-You-Will Golden-Bound Cudgel had intelligence, it would probably be lamenting how it, as the Pillar of Heaven, had become a tool for knocking people out.

"Old Sun is leaving."

Sun Wukong laughed heartily and transformed into a beam of light, heading back to Flower-Fruit Mountain.

These treasures should be enough to allow him to continue reading Journey to the West.

"Leaving already?" After Sun Wukong left, Bixiao's figure appeared.

"Perhaps I can go down to the mortal realm and take a look too." Bixiao's eyes lit up.

Since becoming an Immortal, Yunxiao had rarely descended to the mortal realm.

Yunxiao, who had a somewhat lively and active personality, was starting to feel restless.

Now that this incident had occurred, it should be fine for her to go and explore.

"I believe my sisters wouldn't say anything if they knew. I'm going to catch Sun Wukong," Bixiao nodded to herself.

A streak of green light flashed, and Bixiao also disappeared.

Heavenly Court, Marshal Tian Peng's residence.

Ever since listening to his teacher, Grand Master Xuandu, Marshal Tian Peng had been somewhat absent-minded.

According to his teacher, he would become a part of a future Calamity of Buddhism.

What that Calamity would entail, and what his fate would be, were all question marks.

But Tian Peng understood that with his Grand Unity Golden Immortal strength, he would have no power to resist in the Calamity.

"My future," Marshal Tian Peng thought of Sun Wukong's words again.

The Pig Demon.

Chapter Twenty-Four: Marshal Tian Peng Leads One Hundred Thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Generals

"Could it be that I, the dignified Marshal Tian Peng of the Heavenly Court, will truly become a pig demon?" Marshal Tian Peng muttered to himself.

Marshal Tian Peng, who commanded eighty thousand Heavenly Soldiers, did not consider becoming a pig demon to be a good thing.

He would rather not have such a fate.

Or rather, the Marshal Tian Peng who was originally powerful understood this point, which was why he had been going through the motions all along, putting in minimal effort.

Otherwise, as a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, would Tian Peng truly be so useless?

"Marshal, Marshal, something's wrong!" A nervous voice from a Heavenly Soldier came from outside.

"Come in," Marshal Tian Peng frowned, looking at the approaching Heavenly Soldier. "Has something happened in the Heavenly Court?"

"Yes, Marshal," the Heavenly Soldier said quickly. "Sun Wukong has stolen treasures from many Immortals in the Heavenly Court and has rebelled against the Heavenly Court. His Majesty is now summoning all the Immortals to court."

"Sun Wukong stole many treasures?" Marshal Tian Peng was somewhat taken aback.

This Sun Wukong was truly beyond his expectations.

If he had rebelled against the Heavenly Court because the official post of Bimawen was too low, that would have been normal.

After all, in his confrontations with Sun Wukong, Marshal Tian Peng knew how powerful Sun Wukong was.

That wasn't just any Grand Unity Golden Immortal.

Among the powerhouses at the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm, Sun Wukong was likely one of the very best.

It was truly a disservice to Sun Wukong for someone of his caliber to be made Bimawen.

At the time, Marshal Tian Peng found this action by the Jade Emperor rather baffling.

Wasn't this just forcing Sun Wukong to rebel?

Based on Marshal Tian Peng's understanding of Sun Wukong's personality, it was only a matter of time.

He just hadn't expected Sun Wukong's speed to be so astonishing, and that his rebellion wouldn't be over official positions, but rather over seizing the treasures of numerous Immortals.

This was rather strange.

My future self will become a pig demon. Marshal Tian Peng thought, recalling this.

Could it be...

A flash of light glinted in Marshal Tian Peng's eyes. Sun Wukong knows the future.

Perhaps that was the only explanation. Sun Wukong knew that in the future, he would become a pig demon, becoming the Zhu Bajie that Sun Wukong spoke of.

Unconsciously.

Marshal Tian Peng slowly began to believe Sun Wukong's words. This was also due to what his teacher, Grand Master Xuandu, had told him.

Without Grand Master Xuandu's words, Marshal Tian Peng would have simply dismissed Sun Wukong's claims as idle chatter.

But that teacher had told him that he would be closely connected to future Calamities.

Then anything was possible.

Grand Unity Golden Immortals were nothing in the face of a Calamity, so what was becoming a pig demon?

During the distant Witch-Demon Calamity, Marshal Tian Peng had heard a legend.

Even Quasi-Saints would become deeply mired in Calamities, unable to extricate themselves.

The Investiture of the Gods Calamity, which was closer, was slightly better, but even then, the sects of the Saints did not transcend it.

If even Saints could not prevent a Calamity, it showed how terrifying they were.

Perhaps Sun Wukong can tell me my fate. Marshal Tian Peng's gaze held determination.

Without knowing his fate, Marshal Tian Peng could do nothing but wait slowly.

But now, with a sliver of hope from Sun Wukong, it gave Marshal Tian Peng some encouragement.

A future as a pig demon was not something Marshal Tian Peng desired.

"My Lord, my Lord!" a Heavenly Soldier called from below.

Seeing his Marshal lost in thought, he immediately shouted.

After all, the Jade Emperor had summoned the Immortals for a court meeting.

If his Lord did not attend, some undesirable consequences might occur.

"Alright, I understand," Marshal Tian Peng nodded. "I will head to the Hall of Lingxiao now. You may leave."

"Yes, my Lord. Your subordinate takes his leave." The Heavenly Soldier responded and then departed the mansion.

Marshal Tian Peng did not hesitate long before heading towards the Hall of Lingxiao.

The Hall of Lingxiao.

When Marshal Tian Peng arrived, the atmosphere was rather somber.

Many Immortals and Gods stood on either side, with the Jade Emperor seated on the highest throne above.

Seeing the situation, Marshal Tian Peng stood in his designated spot, awaiting the arrival of the other Immortals and Gods.

Time ticked by, and one by one, Immortals and Gods arrived.

"Taibai Jinxing, do you know where Li Jing is?" the Jade Emperor asked gravely.
