"Li Jing" and "Nezha" were unable to return to the Heavenly Court.

I trapped them in a formation outside the village. After struggling to break free but unable to escape, they chose to detonate their magic treasures, hoping to perish together with me.

What should have been a earth-shattering scene was contained by my formation, and then I slapped them to death with a palm.

After their deaths, their bodies unexpectedly grew larger, transforming into round, eye-covered creatures without heads, smooth and rolling insects.

I used the Samadhi True Fire to refine their bizarre corpses and realized that the "Nezha" and "Li Jing" before me were not the two heavenly immortals I remembered. They had been replaced.

"Where did the real Li Jing and Nezha go?"

I looked up at the sky and felt that things were becoming increasingly strange. Sun Wukong's calamity will inevitably play a role in this event.

The Heavenly Court will soon discover the deaths of "Li Jing" and "Nezha." Only Sun Wukong will help me bear this blame, as he is my junior brother.

When I returned to Flower Fruit Mountain, that monkey was causing a ruckus outside the mountain.

It perfectly matched his arrogant personality.

I thought the Heavenly Court would send a large army to suppress Sun Wukong and crush his arrogance.

But unexpectedly, the Heavenly Court sent the white-bearded Tai Bai Jin Xing instead.

The Heavenly Court claimed to persuade Sun Wukong to surrender but acknowledged his title as the "Great Sage Equal to Heaven."

Equal to the heavens, equal to the Jade Emperor. Great Sage Equal to... Heaven?

Can the Jade Emperor tolerate this?

Is this still the Heavenly Court I know, the one that oppressed the Western Buddha and held the Western Spirit Mountain captive, dominating the Nine Heavens?

There is something suspicious about this.

After Tai Bai Jin Xing left, I followed him as usual.

Watching him fly to the Southern Heavenly Gate and disappear into the numerous celestial palaces.

I concealed myself outside the Southern Heavenly Gate, watching the convoy carrying the decree of the "Great Sage Equal to Heaven" depart from the Southern Heavenly Gate.

Leading the way was still Tai Bai Jin Xing.

Compared to when he entered the Heavenly Court, Tai Bai Jin Xing now emitted a hint of bloodthirst.

Similar to the aura he had after Li Jing devoured the villagers.

What did this true immortal of the Heavenly Court do after returning to the Heavenly Court?
