Primordial World: You Asked Me to Sell Goods, But I Became the Supreme of All Heavens

"Your Majesty, we haven't found the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King yet," Taibai Jinxing said, shaking his head. "Should we continue to wait?"

"No need. Wherever he goes, we'll find him then," the Jade Emperor shook his head. "This time, I've summoned all of you, my esteemed ministers, here. Do you know why?"

Upon hearing this, many Immortals and Gods below lowered their heads.

Seeing this situation, Marshal Tian Peng chuckled inwardly. He understood that these Immortals and Gods had likely been searched by Sun Wukong and had their treasures confiscated.

Moreover, a rough estimate showed that a significant portion of those attending the court session had been affected.

Sun Wukong's speed was no joke; it was truly fast.

Marshal Tian Peng even suspected that Sun Wukong, when he was a demon king below, might have been engaged in banditry.

"I believe many of you have experienced this," the Jade Emperor said calmly. "I appointed Sun Wukong an official in the Heavenly Court, yet he showed no remorse. He not only stole your treasures but also rebelled against the Heavenly Court. I think we need to show this monkey demon where the Heavenly Court's authority lies."

"Is there any minister brave enough to go and deal with the monkey demon?"

"..."

At this, the entire court fell silent.

Among those attending this court meeting, there were no Grand Unity Golden Immortal powerhouses.

And those who were merely Grand Unity Golden Immortals were likely no match for Sun Wukong.

Some Immortals and Gods had already felt this when they were ambushed.

Therefore, they didn't want to be the first to step forward this time.

If they failed to capture Sun Wukong and were instead defeated, it would truly be a joke.

Seeing the silent Immortals and Gods below, the Jade Emperor's expression darkened.

Although the truly powerful Immortals and Gods of the Heavenly Court were not present, these Immortals and Gods before him were currently the usable personnel of the Heavenly Court.

And now they were acting like this.

"My esteemed ministers, is there not a single person who dares to go and deal with the monkey demon?" The Jade Emperor's eyes emitted a cold glint.

"Your Majesty, this humble minister is willing to go to Flower-Fruit Mountain to deal with that monkey demon," Marshal Tian Peng suddenly stepped forward and said.

"Marshal Tian Peng," the Jade Emperor nodded. "Good. Marshal Tian Peng, I will have you lead tens of thousands of Heavenly Soldiers, along with Juling Shen and Nezha, to apprehend the monkey demon."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Chapter Twenty-Five: A Great Being Comparable to a Saint

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King has been found."

Even after the Jade Emperor had dismissed the court, a Heavenly Soldier hurriedly arrived at the Hall of Lingxiao.

"The Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, where is he?" the Jade Emperor asked.

Li Jing's absence at this critical juncture angered the Jade Emperor.

After all, Li Jing was considered his vanguard general.

If Li Jing were here, he would have ordered him to lead the Heavenly Soldiers to deal with Sun Wukong, rather than Marshal Tian Peng.

Marshal Tian Peng was not his direct subordinate; he was a registered disciple of Grand Master Xuandu, which meant he was likely from the Ren Sect.

Now that everything had been arranged, Li Jing's sudden appearance made the Jade Emperor somewhat displeased.

"Your Majesty, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King's current condition is not good," the Heavenly Soldier said cautiously, glancing at the Immortals and Gods around the Jade Emperor.

Although the court session had ended, some Immortals and Gods like Taibai Jinxing were still present and had not left.

"What, is there something unspeakable? Taibai and the rest of you, my esteemed ministers, let's go together," the Jade Emperor said calmly.

"Yes, Your Majesty..." Taibai Jinxing and the other Immortals and Gods nodded.

This was a time when the Jade Emperor was angry, and they didn't want to court disaster.

Seeing that the Jade Emperor had said this, the Heavenly Soldier naturally didn't say anything further.

Although Li Jing's current situation seemed unsuitable for public viewing, since His Majesty had already spoken, the Heavenly Soldier would only obey.

As for offering advice to the Jade Emperor, that would be a joke.

This Heavenly Soldier didn't want to die.

The difference in rank between him and the Jade Emperor was too great.

If it were Taibai Jinxing, he might still be able to say something in front of the Jade Emperor.

But for him, a Heavenly Soldier, it was out of the question.

Thus, led by the Heavenly Soldier, the Jade Emperor and the others arrived at a sparsely populated area in the Heavenly Court.

"Your Majesty, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King is inside," the Heavenly Soldier pointed to a building ahead.

"My esteemed ministers, let's go in together," the Jade Emperor nodded and led the way into the building.

As the Jade Emperor entered, the scene before him stunned him into silence.

He saw a plump figure hanging from a roof beam, his clothes completely stripped off.

Unsurprisingly, that figure was none other than the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, Li Jing.

"This..."

Taibai Jinxing and the other Immortals and Gods who followed were also stunned.

Some of them had been robbed by Sun Wukong, but at least they still had some clothes on, preserving their dignity.

However, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, Li Jing, was completely different.

If Li Jing were to wake up and learn of this, he would probably go insane.

After all, Li Jing was a person who greatly valued his reputation.

"Hoo..." The Jade Emperor's eyes flickered. He shook his head and flicked his finger slightly.

With a "snap."

Li Jing slowly landed on the ground from mid-air, and a strange power merged into his body.

"Taibai Jinxing, I'll leave the rest to you," the Jade Emperor said, waving his hand. "As for the others, follow me."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The many Immortals and Gods slowly left. Only the unconscious Li Jing and Taibai Jinxing remained in the room.

"Mmm..." Li Jing slowly woke up, his heart filled with rage. "Sun Wukong, you actually ambushed me!"

A roar echoed, and Li Jing stood up, radiating a ferocious power.

Naturally, at this moment, Li Jing no longer possessed his former majestic demeanor. He looked utterly ridiculous.

"Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, Sun Wukong is already gone," Taibai Jinxing said helplessly, looking at Li Jing in his current state.

It was fortunate that the other Immortals and Gods had left. Otherwise, Li Jing's appearance would have made them laugh uncontrollably.

"Sun Wukong is gone?" Li Jing frowned. "Taibai Jinxing, Sun Wukong actually plotted against me. Where is he now?"

"Sun Wukong has betrayed the Heavenly Court and returned to Flower-Fruit Mountain," Taibai Jinxing explained.

"Oh." Li Jing's eyes lit up. "This is great news! Bimawen actually dares to betray the Heavenly Court. I'll report this to His Majesty right away and ask him to send me to capture Bimawen."

"Wait..." Taibai Jinxing stopped Li Jing.

How could Li Jing go out in this state?

"Tai Bai, what do you mean?" Li Jing frowned.

"Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, look at yourself," Taibai Jinxing said helplessly.

Li Jing had woken up by now, yet he hadn't noticed his situation.

Was it because he was too angry to feel the chill on his body?

"Look at myself..." Li Jing looked down at himself blankly, then froze.

He realized he was completely naked.

"How is this possible?" Li Jing's pupils contracted, his face filled with anger, and he gritted his teeth. "Bimawen, you're dead."

"Hoo, hoo, thankfully." Li Jing panted. "Tai Bai, don't you dare speak of this matter, or you'll be my enemy."

"Sigh." Taibai Jinxing shook his head regretfully. "Li Jing, actually, His Majesty already saw you earlier, and so did other Immortals and Gods."

"This..." Li Jing's mouth hung open.

At this moment, he didn't know what his emotions were.

Anger, humiliation, shame...

Flower-Fruit Mountain, the backyard of the General Store.

Wu Feng sat cross-legged, his body exuding astonishing spiritual energy.

This was the effect of cultivating the Chaos Heaven-Battling Art.
