Recruitment Once Again

"Firstly, we can keep him here; secondly, with his interference lessened, the world will gradually become more stable."

Taibai Changgengxing, told the Jade Emperor about his next plan.

What does Your Majesty think of the plan?

Seeing that the Jade Emperor seemed to be considering something after hearing his plan, he quickly asked.

"Taibai Changgengxing, as you just said, I'll immediately give you an imperial edict of amnesty. You can use it to deal with that Sun Wukong."

Upon hearing Taibai Changgengxing call his name, the Jade Emperor quickly realized what was happening and agreed to the plan to renovate Taibai ship, sending Taibai Changgengxing to carry it out.

Taibai Changgengxing, carrying the Jade Emperor's decree, quickly descended to the mortal realm. Arriving outside the Water Curtain Cave of Flower-Fruit Mountain, he saw several little monkeys training and approached them, asking, "Could you please inform your king to come out and see me?"

The Taibai Changgengxing when he last visited, so he remembered what Taibai Changgengxing looked like. Although 10 years had passed, he quickly recalled that the old deity was the one who had taken his king to the Heavenly Court to become an official 10 years ago.

"So it was you! Get out of here! There's no way I'll help you inform my king to come out and see you. Ten years ago, you came to offer amnesty, and my king suffered so much after he went to Heavenly Court. It's all because of you."

"If it weren't for you, none of this would have happened. Now you've come to our king again, are you trying to recruit him?"

After remembering the origin of Taibai Changgengxing, the little monkey cursed at him and refused to let him report the matter to Sun Wukong. He also told his fellow monkeys not to report the old man's news to Sun Wukong, lest Sun Wukong be tricked into going to Heavenly Court to suffer again.

"Great Sage, you have good news! Great Sage, you have incredibly good news!"

The Taibai Changgengxing that none of the little monkeys were willing to enter the Water Curtain Cave to help him, and when he informed Sun Wukong of this, he felt helpless and had no other options.

If he tries to force his way in, these little monkeys will likely swarm him and use all sorts of tricks to stop him. If he tries to force his way in and hurts these little monkeys, Sun Wukong will definitely come looking for him with his Jingu Bang, either to take revenge or to fight to the death.

Therefore Taibai Changgengxing could only choose the most primitive method, exerting his Law Power, straining his voice, holding his breath, and shouting this sentence loudly towards Sun Wukong's Water Curtain Cave, not for any other reason than to lure Sun Wukong out.

"What? I didn't violate your requests, and I didn't go in to invite Sun Wukong. Whether he comes or not is up to him."

After doing all this, Tan Chengxin, like a child, even started taunting the little monkeys that had previously tried to stop him.

"Your Majesty, someone outside is calling you, saying there's some good news. I just went out to take a look, and it's the Taibai Changgengxing that served as an official in Heaven ten years ago. As for him, will you see him or not?"

At this moment, the clan chief reported everything he had heard to Sun Wukong, who was sitting on the throne.

"Oh, it's Taibai Changgengxing. He only said there was some good news, but didn't say what it was, right? Let's not worry about it for now. He told me to rest here a little longer and stay outside a bit longer."

When Sun Wukong learned of the visitor, he didn't take the good news Taibai Changxin had mentioned to heart, but instead focused on resting there.

"Great Sage Great Sage, Great Sage, are you home? There's good news! The Jade Emperor has agreed to let you become the Great Sage Equal to Heaven."

After waiting for about an hour outside the Water Curtain Cave, Taibai Changgengxing finally couldn't hold back any longer. He channeled all his magical Law Power and loudly proclaimed the news towards the direction of the Water Curtain Cave.

"Alright, turn it on. An hour or so should be enough. Let's invite him in."

After hearing what Taibai, Sun Wukong spoke to a little monkey beside him.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will invite him in immediately."

Upon hearing Sun Wukong's command, the little monkey responded and immediately ran towards the outside of the Water Curtain Cave, using both hands and feet.

"Old immortal, you are Taibai Changgengxing of Venus, from the Heavenly Court. My king invites you to come with me."

After spotting Taibai Changgengxing, the little monkey immediately led the way for him, taking him into the Water Curtain Cave.

"Great Sage, you've really kept me waiting! I've come to bring you good news."

Upon meeting Sun Wukong, the first words spoken by Taibai Changgengxing Xing carried a slightly resentful tone, clearly indicating his dissatisfaction at being left out in the cold by Sun Wukong.

"I was just resting. I was seriously injured in the battle with the Giant Spirit God and Nezha the Nezha Prince. I only recently recovered. However, during my rest, I told all the little monkeys that no one can be allowed to enter without my personal permission."

"That's why Old Sun apologize to you here for my slight towards Venus, the Taibai Changgengxing."

It was quite rare for Sun Wukong to speak so politely to Taibai Changgengxing), and he even apologized for leaving it outside.

"Great Sage, there's no need for that."

Upon witnessing this scene, Taibai Changgengxing was immediately startled and stood up, indicating that there was no need to be so polite to him.

"Great Sage, let's talk about the good news. Because you defeated Nezha, the Third Prince, and the Giant Spirit God, and because the Jade Emperor doesn't want to cause trouble with you, he agreed to your request to become the Great Sage Equal to Heaven. Your imperial decree has sent me down to invite you up to Heaven. I don't know when you will come to Heavenly Court for me, Great Sage."

The Taibai Cheng Gengxin didn't dwell on Sun Wukong's words but went straight to the point, explaining that the Jade Emperor wanted to appoint Sun Wukong as the Great Sage Equal to Heaven.

"Taibai Changgengxing, when do you think would be the best time for me to ascend to heaven with you?"

When Sun Wukong heard that Taibai Changgengxing was asking him when he would be going to the Heavenly Court, Sun Wukong didn't answer but instead passed the buck back to Taibai Changgengxing.

"The sooner the better, of course. According to the saying that a day in heaven is a year on earth, I will stay here and wait for you for another month. During this month, you can make proper arrangements for the Water Curtain Cave, and then come with me. Is that alright?"

Taibai Changgengxing of Venus, provided Sun Wukong with an answer.
