They all say that the Jade Emperor has gone mad.

The Jade Emperor had someone hand Nezha's body over to the Grand Supreme Elder. He wanted the Grand Supreme Elder to refine Nezha into a pill.

Not long after, the Grand Supreme Elder gave the Jade Emperor a divine pill - a pill with the fragrance of lotus flowers.

The Jade Emperor didn't hesitate and swallowed it in one gulp.

He also had the Queen Mother prepare peach buns for him. The fairy maidens kept going to the Peach Orchard to pick peaches, constantly coming and going.

He sent celestial soldiers to the mortal realm to eliminate various demons.

The celestial soldiers were killing demons everywhere in the mortal realm. Not to mention the well-known demons, even snakes that accidentally hit their heads on trees and got bumps were not spared by the celestial soldiers.

The celestial soldiers captured all these "demons" and sent them to the Grand Supreme Elder.

Since Nezha died, the Grand Supreme Elder's alchemy furnace never went out. These two boys, Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao, were exhausted and skinny but dared not complain or show their true forms. Because once they revealed their true forms, the celestial soldiers would capture them and throw them into the alchemy furnace. After all, Huang Mei, the disciple of the Buddha in the East, was caught and thrown into the alchemy furnace just because he dozed off and revealed his true form.

Everyone was surprised by the Jade Emperor's actions. They knew that the Jade Emperor didn't even let go of Nezha's body because he wanted to quickly improve his cultivation... because the Jade Emperor always felt that the gods of Northern Europe would return.

However, they still thought that the Jade Emperor's actions were bordering on madness. But I knew that the Jade Emperor was not crazy, but rather very clear-headed.

Because he stopped me from going to find the Tathagata to "ask for punishment".

“Before Nezha disappeared, he told me that the only one who knows the whereabouts of the Twelve Golden Immortals is the Tathagata,” I said to the Jade Emperor, “During the last uprising of the gods of Northern Europe, you sent six divine edicts to the Tathagata, but the Tathagata resolutely refused to come. I suspect that Nezha's death is related to the Tathagata. I suspect that he betrayed the Heavenly Court, so I want to question the Tathagata in the name of the Heavenly Court.”

“Impossible!” The Jade Emperor shook his head, “The Tathagata would never betray the Heavenly Court.”

“Why not?”

“Although the Tathagata is nominally obedient to me, he is never bound by me. He respects me as the ruler of the Three Realms, and I respect him as the source of all laws. The Heavenly Court and the Western Heaven have always respected each other, not ruled over each other! Not only does the Heavenly Court not restrict the Tathagata, it doesn't even govern the monks in the mortal realm. Why would the Tathagata go against the Heavenly Court? If the Tathagata sides with the gods of Northern Europe, what benefits will they give him? It's unlikely that they will submit to him. Most likely, they will allow the Western Heaven and the Heavenly Court to coexist as equals, just like me. If this is the case, and I have never mistreated the Tathagata, why would the Tathagata bear the infamy of opposing the Heavenly Court?”

“Maybe the gods of Northern Europe are just pawns of the Tathagata.”

“Even more unlikely. If Northern Europe is the Tathagata's pawn, the Tathagata would not sit idly by,” the Jade Emperor shook his head, “I sent twelve divine edicts, and both the Tathagata and the Grand Supreme Elder did not respond. If the Tathagata and the gods of Northern Europe join forces, how could the Heavenly Court resist? Even the Grand Supreme Elder and the Tathagata cannot join forces. Within the Three Realms, no one can unite to oppose the two of them. Why would they need to use someone else's hands? The fact that they remain indifferent to this situation proves that Northern Europe has no connection with them.”

The Jade Emperor said these words with a serious expression.

But not long after, the Jade Emperor truly went mad.

He went mad after meeting the Tathagata.

No one knows what the Jade Emperor saw, only that he suddenly ran back to the Lingxiao Hall, trembling all over!

Since then, the Jade Emperor has been afraid of anything blue. He had all the blue glazed tiles on the Lingxiao Hall painted with different colors.

He even feared looking up because raising his head would mean seeing the blue sky.

Seeing the Jade Emperor like this, I decided to go find the Tathagata.
