Journey to the West: Man in heaven, working nine to five

#1509 - I'm waiting for the ultimate move, what are you waiting for?

Sha Wujing was also clear-headed and, seeing Sun Wukong's arrogant demeanor, had no choice but to bow and say:

"Esteemed Senior Brother, I am here to apologize on behalf of our master. Master is filled with self-reproach for causing you to suffer in the Avici Hell, and he dares not blame you for striking him with your staff.

I implore you, Senior Brother, if you do not hate Master, and still remember his kindness in freeing you, please return with me and the luggage to see Master, and together let us go to the Western Paradise and achieve enlightenment.

If your resentment is too deep and you refuse to go, please bestow the baggage upon me. You can enjoy your twilight years in the mountains, and that would be a perfect win-win situation."

After Sha Wujing finished speaking, he heard Sun Wukong burst into loud laughter.

"Brother, your words are not to my liking. My hitting Tang Sanzang and stealing the luggage is not because I don't want to go to the Western Paradise, nor because I love living here.

I have now thoroughly studied the decree. I will go to the Western Paradise myself to worship Buddha and seek scriptures. When the journey to the West is successful, I will have the people of Jambudvipa establish me as their ancestor, and my name will be passed down for generations! I will become the only successful one in the Journey to the West. Who can stop me?!"

"Furthermore, do you think that by bringing Tang Sanzang and Zhu Bajie here, you can force me to bow my head and return the items to you? Dream on!"

At this moment, Sun Wukong looked like a newly successful villain, his arrogance knowing no bounds.

Sha Wujing glanced at Tang Sanzang and Zhu Bajie behind him.

Tang Sanzang also frowned but still shook his head.

For some reason, as Tang Sanzang and the others looked at Sun Wukong before them, all their previous guesses were overturned.

In fact, he vaguely felt that the Sun Wukong before them was extremely annoying. Perhaps Sun Wukong had truly been completely controlled, and had even forgotten everyone.

If it weren't for the deep bond between master and disciples, they would never have tolerated such an arrogant Sun Wukong...

However, they couldn't come up with any new guesses for the time being.

All they knew was that Sun Wukong, after being kidnapped by Guanyin Bodhisattva, was like a madman, showing no resemblance to his former self.

And Guanyin Bodhisattva, watching from the shadows, was also grinning maliciously.

The Western Paradise had long anticipated that these people had deep feelings for each other. What they wanted was to create a real rift between them, or at least prevent them from uniting.

After all, who knew if the Buddha would be strung up on a lamppost once they united.

Therefore, now that the Six-Eared Macaque was completely controlled, no matter what Tang Sanzang and the others did, it would not change their plans.

At this moment, Tang Sanzang and the others already felt Sun Wukong's ferocity.

Sha Seng understood and couldn't help but shake his head and smile:

"Senior Brother's words are inappropriate. There has never been a saying of Senior Brother obtaining the scriptures alone. The Western Paradise created the Tripitaka Sutra, originally intending for Guanyin Bodhisattva to seek a scripture seeker in the Eastern Land, requiring us to endure thousands of mountains and inquire in various countries to protect the scripture seeker.

The Bodhisattva once said: The scripture seeker is a disciple of the Tathagata, named Golden Cicada Elder, who was demoted from Mount Ling because he did not listen to the Buddha preach, and was reborn in the Eastern Land to teach him to achieve the Western Paradise and resume the Great Path.

When encountering such obstacles on the road, we three were freed to be his Dharma protectors. If you, Senior Brother, do not have Tang Sanzang, would the Buddha be willing to transmit the scriptures to you! Wouldn't that be a futile effort?"

However, Sun Wukong seemed to have anticipated this and couldn't help but laugh loudly.

"Do you think I would be so naive as to not have thought of these things?"

"I have already made preparations. Master, junior brothers, come out and show yourselves!"

At Sun Wukong's command, several little monkeys quickly ran inside, leading out a white horse, and bringing out a Tang Sanzang, followed by a Bajie, carrying luggage; and a Sha Seng, holding a tin staff.

Their appearances, movements, and demeanor were all exactly the same.

Of course, their strength was still much different.

Moreover, if one delved deeper, they did not possess the God of War's heart within Zhu Bajie, the demon lord hidden within Sha Wujing's soul, nor Tang Sanzang's body cultivation and Golden Cicada's divine soul.

However, the Western Paradise had already reached the point of creating realistic fakes. After all, for the Western Paradise, all they needed was a team that could go to the Western Paradise.

Whether it was real or not was up to the Western Paradise to decide.

Even Chu Hao, watching from the sky, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and exclaim:

Diting grinned as he looked at Chu Hao and mocked him loudly:

"Do you think you're the only one who can make arrangements? The ending of this tribulation was already set five hundred years ago. I'm not afraid to tell you that those fake Journey to the West teams are transformed from monkeys.

Those one hundred and thirty monkeys are from when the Great Sage Sun attained enlightenment in his youth, causing havoc in the underworld and having his name removed from the Book of Life and Death with a stroke of a pen. These few are the best among them, so there is no so-called future or past. Replacing the Journey to the West with them can even deceive the Heavenly Dao.

I'm not afraid to tell you again that soon, not only will Tang Sanzang and the others be replaced, but even the crucial Sun Wukong will die a violent death here! The Six-Eared Macaque will take his place and become our pawn!"

"Prison God Chu Hao, the Journey to the West team will eventually return to the control of our Western Paradise. The days when you threatened the Western Paradise with the Journey to the West are over. There is no place for you in these Three Realms and Six Paths anymore!"

At this moment, Diting was smiling so triumphantly. Ever since he was humiliated by Chu Hao, Diting had harbored resentment towards Chu Hao, and now that he had the opportunity, Diting was definitely going to mess with Chu Hao's mentality.

Mahamayuri was also standing beside him, condescendingly advising:

"Prison God Chu Hao, the Buddha Tathagata still appreciates you very much. If you are willing to abandon the darkness and turn to the light now, joining our Western Paradise, you will still have the opportunity to become a Buddha and ancestor after the Journey to the West."

"Our Western Paradise will surely unify the Three Realms and Six Paths. The Heavenly Court is weak and cannot withstand this great tribulation."

"Moreover, you have always considered yourself righteous. Don't you know that once the Great Tribulation of the Three Realms descends, if the Three Realms are not unified by then, they will definitely be destroyed by the tribulation? Therefore, you should make the Heavenly Court actively surrender to us."

"You are the dignified Prison God Chu Hao, and one of the Four Imperials of the Heavenly Court. If you have the merit of persuading the Heavenly Court to surrender, then don't say becoming a Buddha and ancestor, even giving you a Great World to manage is not impossible. Why be confined to a small Heavenly Court?"

Mahamayuri was earnestly trying to persuade Chu Hao to join the Western Paradise. After all, if they could obtain the power and background that Chu Hao possessed, the Western Paradise's dominance would be unstoppable.

However, facing Diting's oppression and Mahamayuri's threats, Chu Hao stood in place, silent.

Diting and Mahamayuri watched Chu Hao warily, not knowing what he was doing.

After a long while.

Chu Hao suddenly raised his head, a sinister smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.

"I'm waiting for a big move, what are you waiting for?"
