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

"Your Majesty, this monkey demon is so presumptuous. Please allow me to lead the Heavenly Soldiers to apprehend him," Li Jing stepped forward and said righteously.

Since Marshal Tian Peng had failed, it was his turn this time.

Li Jing would not forget his hatred for Sun Wukong.

It was Sun Wukong who brought him humiliation.

Now, walking through the Heavenly Court, Li Jing felt as if the other deities were pointing fingers at him.

Precisely because of this, his hatred for Sun Wukong grew, and it had not diminished with the passage of time at all.

Suddenly.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I am useless. I could not complete Your Majesty's command."

A figure in tattered armor, with a weak aura, rushed in.

The guards did not stop him.

Because they recognized him – it was Marshal Tian Peng, the commander tasked with apprehending the monkey demon this time.

Entering the Hall of Lingxiao, Tian Peng respectfully bowed.

"Tian Peng, where is Sun Wukong?" the Jade Emperor asked in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, I am no match for Sun Wukong. He defeated me. If I hadn't had a few tricks up my sleeve, I might have died there," Tian Peng said pitifully. "However, to serve Your Majesty, I have no regrets even if I die."

"Uh..." The Jade Emperor was a bit helpless.

When had this Marshal Tian Peng become so loyal?

Normally speaking, Tian Peng was not his subordinate.

But for most deities, that wasn't the case; Tian Peng was part of the Heavenly Court.

They would never think of the power struggles behind the scenes.

The future Journey to the West Tribulation.

Wasn't it also a game between Saints? Even Haotian, a direct disciple of Hongjun, could do nothing.

"Tian Peng, you have done enough," the Jade Emperor waved his hand. "You are not at fault; on the contrary, you have made great contributions. Announce a reward of three Spiritual Treasures for Marshal Tian Peng..."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Tian Peng rejoiced inwardly.

Knowing that the General Store needed all sorts of rare treasures, Tian Peng intended to collect them diligently.

"Your Majesty, about the suggestion I made earlier," Li Jing said hastily.

He did not want the Jade Emperor to forget about it.

He wanted to go and apprehend Sun Wukong.

"Taibai, what is your suggestion?" the Jade Emperor looked at another person, who was considered one of his trusted confidants.

"Your Majesty, Sun Wukong's rebellion against the Heavenly Court might be related to his official position. Perhaps we can grant him an honorary title without real power, such as Great Sage, Equal to Heaven, but without specific authority or command over Heavenly Soldiers and Generals," Taibai Jinxing suggested.

"As for the treasures Sun Wukong seized, we can ask him to return them to the various Immortals and Gods. Perhaps that was just a joke by Sun Wukong."

Alright.

Taibai Jinxing had no idea that those Spiritual Treasures were long gone, having become the property of the General Store.

For Wu Feng.

Anything that was taken in by the General Store could not be returned.

However, if they wanted to, they might be able to exchange for them with Exchange Points.

"Very well, then Taibai, this task of offering amnesty to Sun Wukong will be entrusted to you. This time, Sun Wukong will be appointed as the Great Sage, Equal to Heaven, and will be in charge of the Peach Garden," the Jade Emperor said.

"Yes, Your Majesty, your subordinate understands," Taibai Jinxing replied.

"Court dismissed."

Slowly, the Immortals and Gods left the Hall of Lingxiao, but the Jade Emperor remained.

"Guanyin, regarding Sun Wukong, this is the last time," the Jade Emperor said slowly, as if someone else were in the Hall of Lingxiao.

As soon as he finished speaking, Guanyin, standing on a lotus flower and holding a jade vase, appeared.

"Jade Emperor, I haven't done anything," Guanyin said kindly. "This is for the sake of you and me, and it also benefits your Heavenly Court."

"I don't feel any benefit," the Jade Emperor replied indifferently.

"Oh, right, fellow Daoist Jade Emperor, why doesn't fellow Daoist Haotian come to see me?" Guanyin asked curiously.

"Guanyin, you should understand this point. Do not think that just because Buddhism has Saints behind it, you can do whatever you please," the Jade Emperor said. "Several of Yuanshi Tianzun's disciples are in the Heavenly Court. They are also your former fellow disciples, so you must be careful."

"Your Majesty is joking," Guanyin chuckled dryly. "Then I shall take my leave. I look forward to your good news, Your Majesty."

"Hmph..." A cold glint flashed in the Jade Emperor's eyes.

If it weren't for Buddhism.

Apprehending Sun Wukong would have been an easy task for the Jade Emperor, so why would he give Sun Wukong more opportunities?

Heavenly Court, a certain secret realm.

This is the place belonging to the Three Immortals of Sensing and Following the World.

Within the Investiture of the Gods, they were the renowned Three Xiaos of the Intercepting Sect.

"Sister, sister, something big, something big has happened!" Bixiao appeared in this place, shouting urgently.

Chapter 44: Escaping the Investiture of the Gods, Reforming the Physical Body

A secret realm, a palace.

Yunxiao and Qiongxiao were in the palace courtyard, planting some spiritual herbs and flowers.

Ever since their deaths and inclusion in the Investiture of the Gods, although they possessed immortality, their path to cultivating and improving their strength like ordinary powerful beings was nearly cut off.

Because they couldn't improve their strength at all.

So, cultivation was something they no longer needed to do.

Of course, over the long years, they would still occasionally cultivate. After all, while their strength couldn't grow, they could still improve through the application of some cultivation methods.

It could only be said that in terms of cultivation, they, who were originally Grand Unity Golden Immortals, remained only Grand Unity Golden Immortals to this day.

Compared to the time of the Investiture of the Gods, their strength had not changed at all.

However, for Yunxiao, Qiongxiao, and the others, although they were unwilling at first, as time passed, they gradually adapted.

After all, this was already an unchangeable fate.

If Saints couldn't do it, let alone them.

What was the point of thinking about it too much?

However, Bixiao among them would sometimes visit the Heavenly Court. After all, Bixiao, with her lively nature, didn't want to stay in one place forever.

It was precisely because of this.

That she encountered Sun Wukong and discovered the existence of the General Store.

In a way, this might be fate.

"Hmm, it's Bixiao, Bixiao's back," Yunxiao said with a loving smile.

As the eldest sister, Yunxiao's personality was gentle.

"This little girl actually came back. Who knows how long she's been out," Qiongxiao shook her head. "I was worried she might get caught by someone."

"Sister, something big has happened." A beam of light flashed and landed in front of Yunxiao and the others. It was Bixiao, dressed in green.

At this moment, Bixiao's expression was still filled with a hint of excitement.

In the General Store, the Investiture of the Gods Edict made her incredibly excited just thinking about it. As long as she had enough Exchange Points, she could redeem that item and free herself from the Investiture of the Gods list.

Naturally, Bixiao would also share this matter with her sisters.

On one hand, as family, Bixiao wouldn't hoard this news alone. On the other hand, it was also because the treasures Bixiao possessed seemed to be somewhat lacking.

"A big matter," Qiongxiao smiled. "Bixiao, you're still the same as before, easily startled. For people like us, what can still be considered a big matter?"

Even if another Calamity were to occur, it wouldn't be a big deal for Qiongxiao and the others.

After all, as disciples of the Intercepting Sect, they had already experienced such things.

Now, there was nothing that could stir their hearts.

"Sister, this time it's really a big matter," Bixiao said repeatedly.

"Oh, Bixiao, then tell me, what big matter is it?" Qiongxiao chuckled.

She wanted to see what this "big matter" her sister was talking about would be.

In the past, Bixiao occasionally acted like this, but the things she spoke of were truly not big matters.

"I met a senior, a Saint. No, that seemed to be a senior who surpassed Saints," Bixiao said quickly.

At the General Store, Bixiao had seen the Chaos Bell, a treasure that was said to be comparable to the treasures held by Saints.

In the entire Primordial World, there were only three Innate Supreme Treasures.
