Five gourds, each containing twelve Nine Revolutions Golden Pills, totaling sixty pills.
Each of these pills is a priceless treasure, capable of resurrecting the dead and turning the living into immortals with just one consumption.
Sun Wukong quickly swallowed forty-eight pills, and his magical power underwent a qualitative change in an instant!
After consuming the Forty-Eight Golden Pills, Sun Wukong felt that the effect of these pills on him was no longer significant. Therefore, he left the last gourd of Nine Revolutions Golden Pills untouched.
After letting out a satisfied burp (burping after eating Nine Revolutions Golden Pills, if other immortals knew about this, would they not want to bash their heads against a wall in frustration?), Sun Wukong contentedly left the Palace of Doumu and flew straight to the mortal realm.
The situation in the Heavenly Court could no longer be tolerated. Earlier, Li Jing deliberately provoked him, undoubtedly acting on someone else's orders. Whoever could casually command Li Jing in the Heavenly Court must be known.
In the Lingxiao Palace, various immortal officials gathered. Their gazes were all directed at the just resurrected Totem General Li Jing, full of schadenfreude.
Li Jing, who relied on his son Nezha's achievements in the War of the Gods, achieved sanctification of the flesh and was appointed Totem General by Jiang Ziya. His position was extremely prestigious.
Many immortals had long been displeased with this man who relied on his son. Now, the Totem General, who had always been proud and arrogant, had his fleshly body destroyed. If not for the intervention of the Godly Punishment Scroll, he would have perished, truly a cause for celebration!
Facing the disdainful and gloating eyes of the immortals, Li Jing's face turned dark, almost dripping water.
Seated high on the dragon throne, the Jade Emperor spoke, "Li Jing, is what you just said true?"
Li Jing bowed, gritting his teeth, "Every word I just said is true! I implore Your Majesty to dispatch troops to eradicate that monkey who disregards heavenly rules!"
At this moment, Qianliyan and Shunfenger, who had entered the grand hall, reported, "Reporting to the Jade Emperor, not long ago, Bima Wen went to the Palace of Doumu and stole the Golden Pills of the Laojun. He has now left the Southern Heavenly Gate and is heading towards the mortal realm, Flower and Fruit Mountain."
Hearing this, the immortals were dumbfounded. They never thought Sun Wukong would be so audacious as to dare steal the Golden Pills of Laojun.
Without exception, all eyes turned to the Supreme Old Lord, who was sitting quietly. They were filled with shock and disbelief.
The Jade Emperor, without revealing any traces of emotion, looked at the Supreme Old Lord and said to the immortals, "This monkey, with a glance, killed Li Jing. His magical power is extraordinary, likely possessing the strength of a Great Luo Golden Immortal. Immortals, is there anyone willing to accept the imperial decree and go subdue the monkey!"
The immortals, one by one, lowered their heads and remained silent. Who would dare provoke someone who could kill Li Jing with just a glance? It was best not to provoke such a person.
Li Jing was not willing to jump out at this moment. Faced with someone who could kill him at a glance, it was not wise to provoke him.
Seeing the silence in the hall, the Jade Emperor's eyes flashed with a cold light, but he quickly concealed it. Without a word, he stood up, and his gaze swept over all the immortals like a knife. Then, he flicked his sleeve and left the Lingxiao Palace.
The immortal officials felt a chill down their spines as they were scanned by the gaze of the Jade Emperor. When the Jade Emperor left, they sighed in relief.
Back in the sleeping palace, the Jade Emperor looked outside, his voice icy, "The entire Heavenly Court, and yet we can't find a few useful individuals! It seems you truly don't know who the ruler of the Heavenly Court is! Who is the master of the Three Realms!"
...
Meanwhile, Sun Wukong, after stealing the Golden Pills from the Palace of Doumu, flew back to Flower and Fruit Mountain. He gathered the seventy-two cave masters and assembled tens of thousands of demon soldiers. They formed a strict defensive formation, waiting for the arrival of the Heavenly Court's heavenly soldiers and generals.
Suddenly, a yellow wind rolled, purple mist billowed, boundless auspicious clouds covered the sky, and the cloud tops were densely packed with heavenly soldiers and generals. The sky over Flower and Fruit Mountain suddenly darkened.
It was Yang Jian, the Manifestation of the Clear and Saintly, leading the heavenly soldiers and generals on orders from the Jade Emperor. He personally led the Four Great Heavenly Kings, Nezha, Twenty-Eight Constellations, Nine Luminaries Star Officials, Twelve Earthly Branches, Five Manifestations of the Gods, Four Department Heads, Eastern and Western Star Fighters, Southern and Northern Gods, Five Peaks, Four Reservoirs, Universal Stars, and other celestial forces, totaling one hundred thousand heavenly soldiers.
They set up an eighteen-layer Heavenly Net to block the mortal realm, enclosing Flower and Fruit Mountain.
Yang Jian stood on a cloud, commanding the entire army. He shouted, "Where are the Four Great Heavenly Kings!"
The Four Great Heavenly Kings immediately flew out from the army and responded, "Here!"
Yang Jian gave the order, "You four go out and test the true strength of that monkey."
The Four Great Heavenly Kings acknowledged the order and flew towards Flower and Fruit Mountain.
Descending from the clouds, they saw Flower and Fruit Mountain covered with organized demon forces, numbering in the hundreds of thousands. The sky suddenly darkened, and the Four Great Heavenly Kings were immediately frightened.
The leading Heavenly King Zhang Guang said with courage, "We are heavenly gods from the Upper Realm, here to capture Sun Wukong, the Monkey King of Flower and Fruit Mountain, who has violated heavenly rules. Quickly inform him to come and face his doom!"
Down below, Sun Wukong had already noticed the arrival of the heavenly soldiers and generals. Upon hearing their words, he leaped onto the cloud and said, "You arrogant gods, you dared to provoke me at the Southern Heavenly Gate last time. Now that you've delivered yourselves to my doorstep, I wonder if you can withstand my staff!"
Heavenly King Zhang Guang was infuriated, "Monkey, do not be arrogant!"
With that, the four brothers attacked from the east, west, south, and north, surrounding Sun Wukong.
