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

#2010 - Zhulong's Confession

Chu Hao was already at the peak of the Quasi-Saint realm. Later, he accumulated merit in the Extinction Law Country, and then obtained the Buddha Fruit during the havoc in the Western Paradise. With such improvements, he had already broken through the realm during his time in Fengxian County.

However, there was one situation that made Chu Hao feel puzzled. That was, when breaking through to the Saint realm, there should have been celestial phenomena and the Three Realms should have been shaken, but Chu Hao's breakthrough did not cause any commotion.

Chu Hao guessed that he had truly reached the advanced Quasi-Saint stage and touched the realm of a Saint!

That was why the Tathagata Buddha felt Chu Hao's Saintly power was so incredible.

"It seems that the Saint realm is mysterious and profound, and I should still be a little short."

Chu Hao naturally had speculations about this. The Saint realm was the ultimate in the Three Realms. Although his cultivation had broken through, there were still mysteries that he had not yet comprehended.

So, strictly speaking, he should be considered half a Saint, and his strength was still a little weaker than a true Saint.

However, even with the strength of a half-step Saint, coupled with his divine powers, he could still exert the power of a Saint and easily subdue the Candle Dragon.

It was not only the Tathagata Buddha in the Western Paradise who was surprised, but also the Jade Emperor in the Heavenly Court.

"My Heavenly Court has produced a Saint! As expected of the Prison God that I have been optimistic about. It is indeed the blessing of the Heavenly Court."

The Jade Emperor said excitedly. He was very happy that Chu Hao possessed the power of a Saint.

The gap between the Heavenly Court and the Western Paradise, in terms of main combat power, was actually comparable. The weakness of the Heavenly Court lay in the lack of a Saint.

Now that Chu Hao possessed the power of a Saint, the Heavenly Court was no weaker than the Western Paradise in terms of strength, and would naturally have more confidence when facing the Western Paradise in the future.

Of course, the most shocked were the many gods around Chu Hao, as well as Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie.

"Brother, you are really too strong."

Sun Wukong couldn't help but give Chu Hao a thumbs up.

"It's still the boss who took action. Capturing the Candle Dragon was a piece of cake."

As Chu Hao's underling, Zhu Bajie also felt honored.

"The Prison God is mighty and invincible!"

The gods also shouted one after another, and their respect for Chu Hao was probably only comparable to that of the Jade Emperor.

Below, the countless people of Fengxian County also witnessed this great battle in the sky. They all saw Chu Hao subduing the Candle Dragon clearly.

Moreover, after the Candle Dragon was subdued, the rainstorm stopped instantly, day and night had returned to normal, and the four seasons were also normal.

"It was the Prison God who saved us!"

"The Prison God is our savior!"

"Pay homage to the Prison God!"

The people below knelt down to Chu Hao one after another, thanking him for saving them from danger.

For the people, the Western Paradise had done many evil deeds, so they naturally hated it deeply. Although the Heavenly Court had promised to protect them, it lacked the strength to do so, leaving them in danger.

Chu Hao relied on his own strength to subdue the Candle Dragon, maintained the safety of Fengxian County, and prevented millions of people from suffering.

What the people care about is not who is stronger, nor who is orthodox, but who saved them and protected their safety.

"From now on, our Fengxian County will only recognize the Prison God as our guardian god."

The people shouted from the bottom of their hearts, and Chu Hao had become their guardian god.

"Be quiet, although the Candle Dragon has been captured, we still need to ask about the reason."

Chu Hao said to the gods in the sky and the people on the ground, asking them to be quiet first.

Chu Hao asked the Candle Dragon. Although the Candle Dragon's figure could not be seen, it was only because it was being controlled by Chu Hao's divine power.

"Prison God, you are already in the Saint realm. I submit."

The Candle Dragon had already seen Chu Hao's strength. He had been captured in one move, so what was there to not submit to?

"You were originally cultivating in the extremely cold Northern Border. Why did you come to Fengxian County to cause disaster? Tell me the truth."

Chu Hao interrogated the Candle Dragon again.

"Reporting to the Prison God, it was Guanyin who came to the Northern Border and told me that as long as I razed Fengxian County to the ground, I could be recognized by the Buddha of the Western Paradise and become a Buddhist spirit beast.

She also said that the Prison God was targeting our demon race and wanted to exterminate the demon race, removing our demon race from the Three Realms!"

The Candle Dragon answered truthfully, saying every word of Guanyin's instigation.

The Candle Dragon's voice was loud and clear, and everyone present, including the people on the ground, heard clearly the evils of the Western Paradise.

"It's the Western Paradise doing evil again, trying to drive Fengxian County to extinction."

"The Western Paradise is too vicious! Down with the Western Paradise! Down with the Buddha!"

"Please, Prison God, uphold justice for us!"

The people of Fengxian County were naturally the most strongly reacting to this. The Western Paradise's actions were driving them to a dead end.

"Don't worry, I will definitely ask the Western Paradise for an explanation for the people of Fengxian County."

Chu Hao also assured the people.

The Tathagata in the Western Paradise, seeing the Western Paradise's conspiracy exposed again and the people shouting to overthrow the Western Paradise, his face turned dark.

"Buddha, don't be angry. This matter was an accident. We didn't expect that Chu Hao would have the power of a Saint."

Guanyin was on the side, comforting the Tathagata Buddha, lest the Tathagata Buddha's anger cause him to have problems.

"Damn Chu Hao, damn the cunning people of Fengxian County, I will never let you go!"

The Tathagata Buddha took a long time to calm down, and was still shouting angrily.

In the Heavenly Court, the Jade Emperor was very happy to see the Western Paradise being embarrassed again.

"This time, I want to see what that fellow Tathagata will do."

The Jade Emperor turned around and instructed Taibai Jinxing again.

"Tell the gods of the Heavenly Court not to rush back, but to help the Prison God go to the Western Paradise to demand an explanation and boost the Prison God's momentum!"

The Jade Emperor's move was naturally to watch the excitement and not mind making things bigger, letting the gods of the Heavenly Court help Chu Hao cheer him on.

"I will immediately convey Your Majesty's will."

Taibai Jinxing immediately rushed to Fengxian County to deliver the decree.

In Fengxian County, Chu Hao, since he had said it, would do it, and was already preparing to take the Candle Dragon to the Western Paradise to question them.

Taibai Jinxing's decree came just in time. Originally, the gods wanted to go, but they did not dare to act privately. Now that they had the Jade Emperor's decree, it was justified.

Chu Hao, along with Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and the gods of the Heavenly Court, headed towards the Western Paradise.

The Tathagata was still venting his anger, scolding Chu Hao and the cunning people of Fengxian County. Guanyin and others were listening on the side, and their ears were almost deaf.

"Chu Hao is coming. How should we deal with it?"

After the Tathagata finished scolding, he asked Guanyin and other big shots of the Western Paradise.

This time, the Western Paradise's crime was real. Guanyin was the Tathagata's confidant disciple, and was very important to the Tathagata Buddha, so the crime could not be pushed onto her head.

Just as they were discussing, a disciple monk came in to report.

"Reporting to the Buddha, the Prison God of the Three Realms, Chu Hao, has arrived at the gate of Leiyin Temple with a large number of gods, asking the Buddha and all the Arhats and Bodhisattvas to come out and speak."
