Chapter 833: The Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal!
Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
In the world where Fang Qi came from, there was an ancient legend that had been passed down from generation to generation for thousands of years. Its popularity far surpassed other myths and legends in the same genre, and everyone, from old people to little kids, could tell a part of the story.
That was the Havoc in Heaven.
There might be more miraculous and majestic legends than the Havoc in Heaven, but this story was the most popular.
Perhaps it was more than a legend. For people in that era, it represented the spirit of resistance and the courage to fight under the heavy suppression of power.
The Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal was not just a name but the personification of the people’s wishes.
If there were ‘super-heroes’ in the nation named Huaxia where Fang Qi had come from, then this was the most ancient one.
…
For the Heavenly Court, an existence with great cultivation strength, superpowers, and understanding of Immortal Dao seeking weapons from the Dragon Palace wasn’t a big crime.
Also, since the Monkey King had obtained the Immortal Dao, it was not right to send soul summoners to arrest his soul. Of course, no one would admit this out loud.
The immortals knew it and kept it to themselves.
This was why the Heavenly Court sent the Gold Star of Venus to the lower region to summon him up and give him an official position.
Of course, it wasn’t so easy to live in Heaven.
After all, Wukong was only a stone monkey from the mountains and a small demon without a great reputation. How could he sit at the same rank as the immortals?
Some of the gods and immortals looked down at the Monkey from the bottom of their hearts.
-In the Heavenly Court-
“Look at that Heavenly Palace…” The viewers were engrossed in the scenes of the palaces engulfed in dazzling colorful lights.
“Look at the jade Kirin on the pillar!” It was so lively that it seemed like it would fly down from the jade pillar at any moment.
Following the Golden Star of Venus who lead Sun Wukong into the palace, the viewers got the chance to enjoy the scenery.
“I guess it must be fun to be an official in this place?” Sala exclaimed.
Not only the Elf Royal Palace, but even the old Dragon King’s extremely beautiful Water-Crystal Palace was far inferior compared to this place.
Soon, they felt that things were not as simple as they had thought.
The Star Spirit of Wuqu reported on the side, “In every mansion and hall in the Palace of Heaven, there’s no lack of ministers. Only at the imperial stables is a supervisor needed.”
“A supervisor of the imperial stables?!” Nalan Hongwu and the warriors of the Royal Clan Guild exchanged a look. As royal members, they naturally understood the rank of this position.
“An official to take care of the horses?! Will he take care of horses for the royal family in Heaven?” the Royal Princess looked at the Star Spirit of Wuqu and said.
“This…? It’s a slight to him!” Nalan Hongwu also frowned.
One day, the Star Spirit of Wuqu came to the stables. “Ban Horse Plague, go and get me an imperial horse.”
[TL Note: Ban Horse Plague is the official title for this position.]
“You want me to get you a horse?” Sun Wukong froze.
“If you don’t do it, who would?” the Star Spirit of Wuqu said casually and demanded in a cold voice.
Previously, the viewers had been thrilled when they watched Wukong learn from the immortal, ‘borrow’ treasures from the Dragon Palace, and cross his name off the Life and Death Ledger in the Palace of Darkness.
They had never seen or heard of such abilities before!
Even among immortals, Wukong’s power was superior.
However, he was disdained in this way!
“Ya! This Heaven is infuriating!”
“He’s just a groom!” In the Canglan City Shop, the elves were angry.
The cultivators and warriors were even more furious after watching Sun Wukong’s hardships in his pursuit of Dao. It had taken him over ten years to cross two great oceans, getting to the Mountain of Mind and Heart from Flower-Fruit Mountain while overcoming countless dangers.
Once he obtained Dao, he was no longer bound by the Three Regions and Five Phases. With such great cultivation strength, he ended up with such a lowly position?!
“So, he is only a groom after all! Did you hear them say that this position is… unclassified?” Zong Wu said in anger.
“I think they did it on purpose. With his great power, the Monkey King can be entrusted with great missions. But they made him into a groom!” The others were also indignant.
The Star Spirit of Wuqu snickered and said, “It’s an honor for you to be a groom! The Jade Emperor planned to send his army to the lower region to arrest you!”
If the Jade Emperor sent the heavenly army to the lower region, the result would be obvious. After all, in the whole world, no demon could resist the heavenly generals and soldiers!
At this moment, Sun Wukong knocked over the official desk, took out his Golden-Hooped Rod, and fought his way out!
He rebelled against the Heavens!
“Well done!” At this moment, facing the great power of Heaven, many people would have backed down and restrained themselves.
But the viewers saw Sun Wukong choose a path that they wouldn’t have dared to pick!
In the new shop at the East Continent, the cultivators and warriors from forces such as Heavenly Faction and Xiaoyao Cave Abode watched attentively as Sun Wukong fought his way from the Imperial Stables all the way out of the South Heaven Gate. The viewers had been hesitant with their own choices, but now they were thrilled by this scene.
…
What was the good of being a minister in Heaven? It would be much more enjoyable to call himself the Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal and be a king in the mountain!
First came Mighty-Spirit God brandishing his spreading-flower ax, and then came Third Prince Nata who changed into a form with three heads and six arms and fought Sun Wukong with his Universe Ring and Fiery Wheel!
All kinds of spiritual treasures were used, and they dazzled the viewers while the immortals fought with powerful abilities.
“Aiyaa… This spear technique!” Jiang Xiaoyue imitated the moves while she watched.
“This spell…?!” They watched as Sun Wukong rubbed the hair in his palm, and the strands of hair turned into countless doppelgangers.
“This is one of the spells that came from the pithy formula that Patriarch Subodhi taught him…” Gu Tingyun told the other viewers, “The Great Sage is making wondrous use of the pithy formula while he fights the gods and immortals. Watch carefully. If we can understand a tiny bit of the pithy formula that Patriarch Subodhi taught him and verify it with our own techniques and spells, we’d gain tremendous benefits!”
“I wonder where this pithy formula came from…” Zong Wu said, “It’s super powerful since it can be transformed into so many powerful and complex spells at the will of the user…”
“If someone can really understand it, I wonder what realm they can achieve…”
“That’s not easy,” Gu Tingyun said with a smile, “After all, the godly moves that Qi Tiandi used are right there, but who can understand the core essence? Those godly moves are only casual strikes for Qi Tiandi, but this pihty formula is the ultimate essence in Patriarch Subodhi’s teachings and thus is deeper and more mysterious. I’m afraid that only one in a trillion people can understand a tiny part of it. We’d better put more effort in understanding the lecture that Patriarch Subodhi gave and studying the super powerful spells cast by the gods and immortals. We should see if we can obtain some benefits these ways.”
“Senior Gu, you’re right!” the viewers nodded repeatedly.
