"The Vermilion Bird circles the sky, the Nine Dragons lurk in the abyss, the White Tiger rests in the forest, the Black Tortoise lies on the stone."

"Such celestial phenomena are truly unheard of and unseen."

Thousand-Mile Eye trembled.

"Why was there no information about such an existence before?"

The Jade Emperor slammed his hand on the Heavenly Spirit Wood chair, making Thousand-Mile Eye and Wind-Following Ear feel as if they were sitting on pins and needles.

Thousand-Mile Eye and Wind-Following Ear secretly grumbled that this matter had nothing to do with them.

There were always unknown powerhouses who would suddenly appear one day and shock everyone.

It was also possible that it was some genius who would achieve fame overnight.

How could they be blamed for this?

The Jade Emperor stood up and paced back and forth, his deep gaze currently filled with a hint of gloom.

"Nothing shall be altered."

"Proceed according to the original plan."

The Jade Emperor exhaled a breath of turbid air.

Upon hearing this, Thousand-Mile Eye and Wind-Following Ear said, "Understood."

The two then withdrew from the great hall.

Not long after.

A person appeared behind the Heavenly Court.

This person had a kind and benevolent face; it was none other than Tathagata.

Tathagata's expression was grim, and his palm currently ached faintly.

It had been many years, and this was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

"How is it?"

The Jade Emperor asked.

Buddha shook his head and said, "This person is unusually difficult to deal with. Even I was genuinely alarmed."

The Jade Emperor frowned slightly and said, "This plan..."

Buddha's tone was icy, "It's nothing, merely a pawn. The other three pawns have not moved. With a little maneuvering, everything can return to the right track."

The Jade Emperor nodded without saying more.

"I hope there won't be any unexpected incidents this time."

Buddha's words held hidden meaning. As he left, he cast an extra glance at the Jade Emperor.

"If it weren't for this person, there would certainly be no unexpected incidents."

A look of confrontation appeared in the Jade Emperor's phoenix-like eyes.

"That would be for the best."

Buddha's expression was unreadable.

"I bid you farewell."

Buddha waved his hand, and the next moment, a large lotus flower appeared beneath his feet.

Then, he vanished from the spot.

"Benefactor, how should I cultivate then?"

"Cultivate wherever you are by the water; this is all my domain."

Chen Tong said magnanimously.

Sun Wukong scratched his head and said, "Benefactor, I still don't know how to repay you."

The corners of Chen Tong's mouth twitched. "As long as you don't seek revenge, that will be the greatest repayment to me."

Just let him worry less...

Sun Wukong looked a little embarrassed and said, "Benefactor, I'm sorry, Old Sun has caused you trouble."

Chen Tong smiled and said, "It's nothing. You've already caused quite a bit, so this little bit doesn't matter."

Sun Wukong was about to go cultivate now.

Chen Tong casually took out a pill bottle and handed it to Sun Wukong, saying, "Here!"

Sun Wukong caught the pill bottle, his heart burning with emotion. "Benefactor, this I..."

"It's fine. You have hidden injuries. Taking this will make your cultivation more convenient."

"You don't need to repay me by offering yourself, you know."

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong nodded heavily and said, "Old Sun will remember Benefactor's kindness in his heart."

Chen Tong waved his hand and said, "The path of cultivation is long and arduous. We must continue to work hard and encourage each other."

Hearing this, Sun Wukong felt a strong resonance with his benefactor's words.

He never expected his benefactor to have such insight, reaching a height he could never attain in his lifetime.

"Benefactor, I understand. Don't worry."

"Old Sun will definitely work hard."

Chen Tong said earnestly, "Good, cultivate well, and make progress every day."

After Chen Tong sent Sun Wukong away, he pondered that the Peach Banquet in the Heavenly Court should be held soon. At that time, Marshal Tian Peng would be schemed against.

From then on, he would embark on the path of cultivation to the West.

He mused that it was time to write in his diary.

[Today was a day without any significant events. I sent Sun Wukong away and had nothing to do, so I'll just write about Marshal Tian Peng.]

[Speaking of which, Marshal Tian Peng was a romantic and dashing figure throughout his life, truly exceptionally suave. It's a pity.]

[The Peach Banquet is in a few days. At that time, he will be schemed against and constantly plied with alcohol by the officials, being accused of molesting Guangqing Fairy.]

[If Marshal Tian Peng chose to comply, things would naturally unfold as those people intended.]

[It's truly laughable, laughable. It's just a pity that only I know this, and Marshal Tian Peng cannot see it.]

Chen Tong closed the diary and fell sound asleep with his eyes shut.

He turned over and felt that he was sleeping even more soundly.

Heavenly Court.

"Brother Tian Peng, how much have you had to drink? You've really had a lot, your face is all red!"

Marshal Wugu chuckled heartily.

"What are you saying? How much have you had? I think you've had quite a bit too."

Tian Peng waved his hand, his vision becoming a little blurry.

"Oh, come on. We all know you have feelings for Guanghan Fairy."

"What, were you rejected? Is that why you're so drunk?" Marshal Wude asked.

Upon hearing the name Guanghan Fairy, Tian Peng said, "I don't. I know Guanghan Fairy is unattainable, so I naturally wouldn't have any improper thoughts."

"Besides, I simply admire her."

"Alright, alright, that's what you say." Marshal Wude waved his hand. "Your little thoughts are known throughout the Heavenly Court."

Tian Peng shook his head. "It's not like that. I really drank too much today. I won't drink anymore for now, I'm returning to my palace."

"Look at you, you don't look like someone who can hold their liquor," Marshal Wugu scoffed.

Tian Peng didn't pay much attention and walked towards his palace.

"Slap!"

Tian Peng instantly sobered up. What was that? It hit him in the face.

Instantly, his face felt like it was burning.

Tian Peng clutched the diary and cursed, "Who is it? Throwing things around!"

However, when he looked around, there was no one there.

"What's going on?"

Tian Peng became extremely alert, wanting to know who dared to litter.

Seeing the pink diary, Tian Peng gradually fell into thought.

Could this be a fairy's diary?!
