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

#2401 - Peach Festival

The two days passed quickly, and the Heavenly Court's Peach Banquet was held as scheduled. This Peach Banquet was a grand event in the Heavenly Court.

Not only the important gods within the Three Realms of Heaven and Earth had to participate, but some personnel from the Western Paradise were also invited as a matter of routine.

Among them, Buddha Tathagata and some big shots from the Western Paradise were on the list.

However, as the relationship between the Heavenly Court and the Western Paradise became strained, some of the names of the big shots from the Western Paradise were omitted, but the name of Buddha Tathagata could not be omitted.

In the Leiyin Temple of the Western Paradise, Buddha Tathagata looked at the invitation to the Peach Banquet, and was also a little hesitant and unsure of what to do.

"What do you think, should I go to participate?"

Buddha Tathagata asked Dipankara Buddha and others.

"Buddha should participate. Previously, Chu Hao committed a great offense against my Spiritual Mountain. Buddha might as well take this opportunity to go to the Heavenly Court to accuse Chu Hao of his crimes."

"Buddha, Chu Hao asked Guanyin to send a message, asking Buddha to be sure to attend the Peach Banquet, obviously to challenge Buddha."

"At the Peach Banquet, there are many gods. Buddha can bring heavy treasures, temporarily please the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother, and let them restrain Chu Hao."

Dipankara Buddha and others suggested to Buddha Tathagata.

"Well, that makes sense. Take ten relics of my Western Paradise's Buddha treasures as a congratulatory gift."

Buddha Tathagata nodded in decision.

While Buddha Tathagata was carrying heavy treasures to the Heavenly Court to attend the Peach Banquet, Chu Hao had already set off from the Prison God Hall.

However, Chu Hao did not go directly to the Peach Banquet, but went to the Jade Emperor's Lingxiao Palace first.

When the Jade Emperor saw Chu Hao's arrival, he also remembered something, smiled at Chu Hao and asked.

"Prison God, many days have passed now, have you obtained the Queen Mother's Undying Spiritual Root? If you haven't, then I have won.

Remember to return my Heaven Sealing Talisman to me. The bet between us is not a child's play."

In fact, the Jade Emperor was very reluctant to part with the Heaven Sealing Talisman in his heart.

"Jade Emperor, if there is still no result today, I will definitely return it. But if I obtain the Undying Spiritual Root today, then the Jade Emperor also has the conditions he promised me."

Chu Hao replied to the Jade Emperor.

"That's natural, a gentleman's word is his bond."

The Jade Emperor assured Chu Hao.

The reason why Chu Hao came to the Lingxiao Palace was first to remind the Jade Emperor about the bet, but it seems that he doesn't need to remind him deliberately, the Jade Emperor remembers it more clearly than him.

The second is that Chu Hao wanted to say hello to the Jade Emperor first. He had already calculated that Buddha Tathagata would take action at the Peach Banquet.

"Now that Tang Sanzang and his four disciples are approaching the Spiritual Mountain, the Journey to the West plan has entered its final moment. We should also make some changes."

Chu Hao said to the Jade Emperor, and the Jade Emperor naturally understood Chu Hao's meaning in his heart.

Although Chu Hao and Tang Sanzang had been disrupting the arrangements of the Western Paradise, causing the Western Paradise to end up empty-handed.

However, throughout the entire Journey to the West plan, Buddha Tathagata and the Western Paradise have always occupied a dominant position. Although the Heavenly Court intervened, it was only indirectly controlling it by borrowing Chu Hao's power.

And at this final critical moment, the primary and secondary relationship between the Heavenly Court and the Western Paradise must be won over.

Let the Heavenly Court replace the Western Paradise as the leader, the Western Paradise's strength declines, unable to control the situation and relegated to secondary, only in this way can all the Western Paradise's plans be bankrupted.

"That makes sense. This Peach Banquet is indeed an opportunity. I will cooperate with the gods of the Heavenly Court and let you directly put pressure on Buddha Tathagata."

The Jade Emperor agreed with Chu Hao's opinion and expressed to Chu Hao.

What Chu Hao wanted was this attitude of the Jade Emperor. As long as he obtained the Jade Emperor's promise and the support of the gods of the Heavenly Court, then Chu Hao could perform to his heart's content next.

Chu Hao and the Jade Emperor went together from the Lingxiao Palace to the Yaochi of the West Sea to attend the Peach Banquet.

Among the immortals, the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas were relatively wealthy, and naturally their congratulatory gifts were also second to none.

They presented a ten-thousand-year-old colorful coral treasure tree, which, when displayed, shone with brilliance from top to bottom.

The ten thousand years of sea air on it formed halos of light, like rainbows, which can be called a rare and precious treasure.

"It is indeed a treasure from the sea, very rare, the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas are very kind."

The Queen Mother seemed very satisfied with this colorful coral treasure tree, and couldn't help but nod and smile.

"These dragon kings are really rich."

"These old dragons just like to show off with the treasures of the sea."

"In this way, the congratulatory gifts of us and others seem insignificant."

The gods were secretly discussing the Dragon Kings' presentation of such a congratulatory gift, but the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas looked arrogant and indifferent.

"May the Queen Mother be blessed, the poor Taoist specially refined three Xuanhuang pills for the Peach Banquet. This pill uses ninety-nine and eighty-one kinds of rare treasures, and is repeatedly refined with civil and military fire for a hundred days.

Taking one pill can keep you young forever, taking two pills can avoid the calamity of immortals, and taking three pills can seize the creation of heaven and earth."

Taishang Laojun presented the pills to the Queen Mother and introduced them.

"Taoist Ancestor is very kind, Taoist Ancestor's pills are the treasures of my immortal world, this is a well-known thing."

The Queen Mother nodded and praised Taishang Laojun.

"This old guy is giving pills again, the pills are almost the same every year, who knows if they are leftovers from last year."

"Anyway, he can say whatever he wants about the effect, he is never responsible for whether it is really effective."

"Taoist Ancestor is still smart, a few broken pills, but he boasts that they have become treasures."

The reason why the gods have opinions on the Dragon Kings and Taishang Laojun is naturally because these guys steal the limelight at every Peach Banquet.

"Amitabha, the old monk congratulates the Queen Mother on her birthday, and specially presents ten relics of my Western Paradise's Buddha treasures.

These ten relics are transformed from the fallen golden bodies of ten senior Buddhas in my Western Paradise, and each one carries thousands of blessings.

If the Queen Mother adds the luck of these ten relics to her body, she will surely get what she wants and be as happy as she wishes, and there will be no more troubles in the future."

Buddha Tathagata stood up at this time and took out the prepared ten Buddha treasure relics.

These Buddha relics are also extremely precious treasures to the Western Paradise, and this time he really went all out.

"Buddha is too polite, these Buddha treasure relics are precious things, Buddha's intention is really touching."

The Queen Mother was indeed very satisfied with the Buddha treasure relics that Buddha Tathagata took out, and got up to return the salute to Buddha Tathagata.

Seeing that the Queen Mother was so happy, Buddha Tathagata naturally felt that he had achieved his goal, and turned to look at Chu Hao.

"If I don't make things difficult for Chu Hao at this time, when will I?"

Buddha Tathagata thought to himself.
