You're openly seeking revenge, aren't you!
The moment the Tathagata, all the celestial beings in Heavenly Court knew what he was about to do.
Now Tathagata Jade Emperor has conceded to the Jade Emperor and agreed to revise the Journey to the Journey to the West, it is time for him to make his own demands and for the Jade Emperor to back down.
This is a tacit understanding; even the Jade Emperor cannot force Buddha to back down twice Tathagata a row.
Upon hearing Tathagata speak, Xu Xiao knew that the other party was coming for him.
However, this was something he had anticipated.
What goes around comes around, especially when you're the first to stick your neck out; you'll inevitably be the first to be targeted.
The Jade Emperor glanced at Xu Xiao discreetly, and seeing his calm demeanor, couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
' The Daoist Sect has found someone who isn't afraid of trouble this time, but I wonder if you can withstand the karmic consequences of the Western Sect.'
"However, since you've taken on a position in the Heavenly Court, and considering your drive, I'll also help you shoulder some of the burdens."
'If this Tathagata too far, I'll protect you too.'
"Your Excellency, please speak freely about any requests you may have. As long as they do not violate the rules and regulations of Heaven, we can discuss them together."
The Jade Emperor did not give a direct answer.
Discussing it out means telling the other person that you can agree or disagree, and that they should be careful when bringing it up so as not to make things awkward for everyone later.
Tathagata understood or not, he directly pointed a finger at Xu Xiao and the other two:
"Since the secrets of the Journey to the Journey to the West have already been known to the Stone Monkey, I will not force him to join my Shakya Sect. However, the Journey to the Journey to the West is the foundation for the great prosperity of my Western Sect, and it must be led by my Buddhist Sect thereafter."
"Since the Stone Monkey and Xu Zhicao know so much about the secrets of the journey to the Journey to the West, I wish to seal their memories of this period until the Journey to the West begins."
"Otherwise, who knows what kind of unforeseen events you two might bring during this period!"
Sealing off memories!
Xu Xiao's face turned cold. This damned bald monk is truly vicious!
Please understand that the memories of immortals and gods cannot be sealed off at will!
Once one achieves the rank of Heavenly Immortal, it signifies that one's true spirit has been illuminated by the Great Dao, and memory is the most important part of that true spirit.
To seal the memories of a Heavenly Immortal is equivalent to directly sealing their true spirit, which will inevitably affect their Great Dao to enlightenment.
This is a rather vicious punishment, comparable to having one's immortal bones extracted.
"Bullshit! You bald bastard, you actually want to seal away my memories with the immortal? You're dreaming!"
"Even if Old Sun, die, I will never let you control me!"
Sun Wukong once again fought against the Divine Staff of Battle, but this time Xu Xiao did not stop him.
The fighting spirit emanated from the Douzhan Divine Staff of Battle, which slammed heavily onto the layer of Buddhist light barrier, only to be bounced off.
Sun Wukong refused to admit defeat, and his staff rained down like raindrops, causing ripples to spread across the Buddhist light barrier.
Xu Xiao looked at Tathagata with a cold smile. Seeing Tathagata the monkey's stick could not break through the Buddha's light barrier of the All Buddhas Arhat, a green sword slipped out of his sleeve.
"Don't get angry, Cao, you mustn't!"
At the critical moment, Taibai Jinxing appeared beside Xu Xiao without him noticing and pressed down on Xu Xiao's wrist Tribulation Cause Sword.
"Zhi Cao, you are different from the monkey. Once you make a move, the Tathagata will have a reason to attack you. Please be careful."
Taibai Jinxing secretly relayed the message.
Upon hearing this, Xu Xiao glanced at Tathagata, who was staring Tathagata at him, and forcibly put away the magic weapon in his hand.
I almost fell into Tathagata's trap!
The monkey is the main character of the Journey to the West. Tathagata indulge him and spoil him. There is nothing Buddha can do about him.
Xu Xiao is different. Even though he has the title of a righteous god of the Heavenly Court, if he Tathagata, the latter could capture him with ease.
If the other party becomes ruthless, not to mention killing Xu Xiao, destroying his Great Dao would be a piece of cake.
After all, Xu Xiao was only Heavenly Immortal, not even Golden Immortal.
Only Golden Immortal who have merged with their own Great Dao have a slight chance of surviving in the hands of such powerful figures.
"Phew~"
Xu Xiao let out a breath, then looked at Taibai Jinxing with a troubled expression.
"Star Lord, this Tathagata so deceitful, threatening to seal our memories at the drop of a hat. How can he possibly respect the Heavenly Court?"
This kid, even at a time like this, is still thinking of using the Heavenly Court as a shield.
Taibai Jinxing rolled his eyes, but still comforted him, "Don't panic, Zhi Cao. Even if a saint made such a request, Tathagata the Sage, the Great Heavenly Venerable wouldn't grant it."
"You haven't done anything wrong, so there's no reason or morality that you should be punished."
Venus, or Taibai Jinxing, basically represents the Jade Emperor's will.
The Tathagata's request surprised even the Jade Emperor, who was sitting at the head of the table, and he cursed inwardly.
' Tathagata this Buddha gotten used to being a local tyrant on Spirit Mountain? If I grant him such a request, how can I be the ruler of Heavenly Court and the sovereign of the Three Realms?'
Your subordinates haven't done anything wrong, yet you sealed their memories just because of one sentence? Do you think you're Heavenly Dao Sage?
As for whether Xu Xiao was wrong or not, the Jade Emperor knew. The other party was well-versed in the Dao of Cause and Effect and Effect, and his few attacks left no trace. The Western Sect's request was simply rude!
That's incredibly rude!
"Your Excellency is mistaken. Memories are the most precious treasure of all living beings. Not to mention two Heavenly Court gods, even mortal beings cannot easily have their memories sealed. I do not agree to this request."
The Jade Emperor shook his head, directly rejecting the request.
But the Tathagata was not angry; instead, he changed his request:
"In that case, it would be better to place the two celestial officials under the supervision of my Spirit Mountain, to prevent any further trouble before the great calamity arrives."
After much beating around the bush, Tathagata finally revealed his request here.
If Xu Xiao and the monkey landed on Spirit Mountain, it would be like sheep entering a pack of wolves. By the time Journey to the Journey to the West begins, Jidu have been brainwashed into the shape of the other.
However, having denied the Buddha twice Tathagata a row, the Jade Emperor had no way to speak again.
"Since they are celestial officials from the Heavenly Court, there's no need for the World Honored One to worry about them. It's just a matter of confining them to their quarters; perhaps it would be better to let them reside in my Tushita Palace."
"This matter concerns the Journey to the Westward Calamity, and I will not show favoritism. I will ensure that they cannot take a single step out before the Tribulation begins."
At the crucial moment, it was Laojun stepped forward.
Seeing Laojun tear down the signboard of Mui, Tathagata also fell silent.
No, is this person also stepping in to protect him?
"What does the World Honored One think? Does he trust this old man?"
Laojun's status and position Tathagata dared not say much, and at the same time, he realized that this might be a scheme designed by the upper echelons of the Daoist Sect.
In the end, Tathagata could only nod helplessly.
"Of course I trust Laojun, then I'll trouble Laojun."
"In that case, I will take them to the confinement area first. You two venerable ones, please discuss the details of the Journey to the West at your leisure."
With a wave of his long sleeves, Laojun brought Xu Xiao and the monkey to his side. Then, the space shifted, and they disappeared from the Lingxiao Palace.
The Western Sect and the gods of Heavenly Court were left staring at each other, all somewhat puzzled.
When did Laojun become so willing to intervene?
