Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything-Chapter 275: Supreme Elder Lord: Xuanzang should restrain Monkey from stealing, right?
Those days, after Supreme Elder Lord descended to the mortal realm, he found life more boring than his time in the Doushuai Palace in heaven. His days were mostly spent playing Fight the Landlord, and it seemed there was nothing else to do.
Although playing Fight the Landlord was fun, he couldn’t possibly immerse himself in it every day.
Otherwise, no matter how enjoyable it was, he would eventually grow tired of it.
While playing Fight the Landlord, he was also waiting for Jiang Liu and the others to enter the mountain. However, after waiting for so long, there was still no sign of Jiang Liu and his group approaching the mountain, which somewhat surprised the Supreme Elder Lord.
"What’s going on? Why haven’t they moved? Are they stopped at the foot of Pingding Mountain?"
After pondering for a moment, the Supreme Elder Lord felt he should make another trip to the Exquisite Immortal Mansion.
For one, he could find out why Xuanzang and his companions had stopped at the foot of Pingding Mountain and hadn’t moved.
Secondly, he could see how they had been spending their days in the Exquisite Immortal Mansion during all this time.
Mahjong and Fight the Landlord were games he had learned from them. Besides these, did they have other ways to entertain themselves and pass the time?
With a thought, the Supreme Elder Lord decided not to stay in his cave any longer. He left immediately, descended from Pingding Mountain, and headed straight to the Exquisite Immortal Mansion.
Without any superfluous words, the Supreme Elder Lord knocked directly on the gate of the Exquisite Immortal Mansion.
Soon, the gate was opened by Sha Wujing.
"Elder? Is it you? What brings you here!?" Seeing the Supreme Elder Lord standing at the door, Sha Wujing was slightly taken aback, then asked.
"Oh, it’s nothing much. I was just passing by and thought I’d stop by for a visit!" Hearing Sha Wujing’s words, the Supreme Elder Lord responded, nonchalantly.
As he spoke, he walked directly into the Exquisite Immortal Mansion, while asking, "By the way, where’s your master? Is the Little Monk here?"
"I’m sorry, Elder, but you’re really out of luck!" Hearing this, Sha Wujing shook his head as he spoke.
"Oh? Not here? Where did he go?" Hearing Sha Wujing’s words, the elder turned back in surprise and asked.
Sha Wujing had naturally heard the earlier conversations among Jiang Liu and others, so he knew this old man might have some connection with the Doushuai Palace.
Thus, after a moment of silence, he thought it best to bring up the Doushuai Palace to scare him a bit and said, "My master and elder brother have ascended to heaven!"
"Ascended to heaven, to where?!" The Supreme Elder Lord became even more puzzled, knowing they were supposed to be on their journey to the west. Now they had ascended to heaven?
"They have gone to the Doushuai Palace!" Sha Wujing answered.
"Doushuai Palace!" Hearing this, the Supreme Elder Lord’s brows lifted slightly, showing even more surprise, and he asked, "Do you know why your master and elder brother went to the Doushuai Palace?"
Seeing the change in the Supreme Elder Lord’s expression, who clearly reacted to the name of the Doushuai Palace, Sha Wujing internally said this old man indeed had some connections to the Doushuai Palace.
However, outwardly, he maintained a calm demeanor and said, "I’m not sure about that. I overheard their conversation; they mentioned something about wanting the Supreme Elder Lord to come for Subduing Demons and Eliminating Evil!"
"Well, if you’re not sure, then let it be!" Hearing Sha Wujing’s response, the Supreme Elder Lord shook his head, somewhat helplessly.
Since they weren’t there, the Supreme Elder Lord naturally had no intention of lingering. After a wave of his hand, he turned around and left the Exquisite Immortal Mansion.
With each step, the Supreme Elder Lord turned and walked in the direction of his cave, silently pondering within.

To ascend to heaven to find him, wanting him to Subduing Demons and Eliminating Evil? So, did they already know that the demon of Pingding Mountain was connected to him?
If so, this calamity was indeed tricky. Before even encountering adversity, they wanted him to intervene?
"Unexpectedly, Xuanzang and his group are so formidable, not in strength, but in their attentiveness and wisdom. No wonder the Bodhisattva said it’s hard to complete the eighty-one tribulations!" Realizing that even his own intervention might not guarantee overcoming this tribulation, the Supreme Elder Lord suddenly understood.
"Wait, wait..." Although the Supreme Elder Lord’s mind was preoccupied with Jiang Liu and the so-called eighty-one difficulties, in that moment, he suddenly realized: they had gone to the Doushuai Palace?
It wasn’t just Xuanzang; that Monkey, Sun Wukong, had gone there too!?
"Damn, my Immortal Pills!" Realizing that he was not in the Doushuai Palace at this time and that Sun Wukong, a person with a prior record, had actually gone there, the Supreme Elder Lord’s face drastically changed.
No longer daring to delay, he moved swiftly, flying directly towards the Heavenly Court.
Being a level 98 character of a Quasi-Saint rank, it didn’t take the Supreme Elder Lord long to reach the Heavenly Court.
In front of the South Heavenly Gate, the Supreme Elder Lord’s steps halted slightly, and he stopped.
"Greetings, Supreme Elder Lord!" Seeing the figure of the Supreme Elder Lord, several Heavenly Soldiers and Generals kneeling in front of the South Heavenly Gate hurriedly bowed and greeted him.
"Dispense with the formalities. Please tell me, has Great Sage Equal to Heaven, Sun Wukong, entered?" Although anxious inside, the Supreme Elder Lord maintained his composure and asked in a calm manner.
"He has seen him; the Great Sage brought his master, Holy Monk Xuanzang, and they have already entered!" The guard at the South Heavenly Gate nodded as he replied.
"Phew, that’s a relief..." Hearing that Sun Wukong was staying with Jiang Liu, the Supreme Elder Lord’s heart secretly relaxed.
As for the monkey’s character, the Supreme Elder Lord naturally would not trust him, given that he was a habitual offender.
However, he did trust Jiang Liu’s character somewhat. If Xuanzang and that monkey were together, he believed they would restrain each other, right?
With this thought, the elderly figure onstage felt somewhat more at ease.
Now that he had returned to the Heavenly Court, naturally, the Supreme Elder Lord thought for a moment and then headed towards the Doushuai Palace to first check on his own home’s situation.
Just as he had risen into the air, barely a moment had passed when he suddenly saw several Immortal Maidens and Divine Power Warriors with grieving faces, cursing Sun Wukong under their breath.
The Supreme Elder Lord, who had sharp ears, heard them cursing Sun Wukong and felt a slight stirring in his heart, promptly descending from his cloud.
"We greet the Supreme Elder Lord!" Seeing the Supreme Elder Lord descending, the Immortal Maidens and Divine Power Warriors hurriedly knelt down and paid their respects to the Supreme Elder Lord.
"What is the matter with you few? Why curse the Great Sage Sun!?" Looking at the Immortal Maidens and Divine Power Warriors before him, the Supreme Elder Lord asked with some astonishment.
These Immortal Maidens and Divine Power Warriors dared to curse Sun Wukong? Had they eaten the courage of a bear and a leopard?
Or was it that? Had that monkey done something outrageous again?
"We greet the Supreme Elder Lord, we, we..." Hearing the Supreme Elder Lord’s words, the Immortal Maidens and Divine Power Warriors were startled and appeared afraid to speak.
"It’s alright, what has that Rascal Monkey done again? Tell me!" Seeing the frightened demeanor of the Immortal Maidens and Divine Power Warriors, the Supreme Elder Lord waved his hand and kindly asked.
"To report to the Supreme Elder Lord, that monkey has stolen the Jade Emperor’s Jadescent Nectar again!" Hearing the kind inquiry from the Supreme Elder Lord, the Immortal Maidens and Divine Power Warriors did not conceal anything, speaking out loudly, feeling utterly aggrieved.
"Yes, not only did he steal the Imperial Wine, but he also directly took away an entire big jar, at least ten pounds! Supreme Elder, as you know, Jadescent Nectar is hard to come by, usually even the Jade Emperor only drinks a small pot during festive occasions, worth celebrating..." Nearby, another Immortal Maiden exclaimed dramatically.
Although Jadescent Nectar doesn’t compare to the peaches of the Empress in terms of preciousness, as an almost exclusive drink of the Jade Emperor, Jadescent Nectar could still be regarded as the finest wine in the Heavenly Court, equally precious.
Now, Sun Wukong had stolen away an entire big jar, and it could be seen as both a serious and not so serious incident.
After all, it was just a jar of wine, but it related to the Jade Emperor’s dignity, and it depended on how the Jade Emperor would judge it.
However, for these Immortal Maidens and Divine Power Warriors, this incident was indeed a huge issue!
"Oh? That Rascal Monkey is so bold!?" Hearing this, the Supreme Elder Lord’s expression also shifted slightly, clearly surprised.
He hadn’t expected that after five hundred years, this Rascal Monkey would still be so lawless. Discover more content at novelbuddy
"Let me ask you, didn’t that Xuanzang see his disciple stealing the Imperial Wine and stop him?" In his astonishment, the Supreme Elder Lord continued to ask, feeling it was unreasonable.
Wasn’t Xuanzang with the Rascal Monkey? He wasn’t managing things either?
"Xuanzang!?" The Supreme Elder Lord’s words left the Immortal Maidens and Divine Power Warriors glancing at each other in confusion.
After looking at each other for a moment, they all shook their heads, saying, "At that time, apart from the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, Sun Wukong, we did not see anyone else there!"
"This is bad!" This answer caused the Supreme Elder Lord’s face to change drastically.
Clearly, although Sun Wukong had brought Xuanzang to the Heavenly Court, he seemed to have left his master behind and acted alone.
If Xuanzang had been by his side, the Supreme Elder Lord would not have been so worried, but without the restraint of his master, had this monkey gone rampant again?
Now that he dared to steal the Imperial Wine, naturally, he would also dare to sneak into his own Doushuai Palace to steal the Immortal Pills.
At this thought, the Supreme Elder Lord felt an urgency like ants on a hot pan, where could he afford to dally?
His form transformed into an Escape Light, flashing like lightning towards the Doushuai Palace.
…
Meanwhile, inside the Doushuai Palace, Sun Wukong, Jiang Liu, and Kuimu Wolf were already seated at a table.
They spread out three large bowls, and Sun Wukong filled each of the big bowls with Jadescent Nectar.
"Good stuff!"
Before even drinking, Jiang Liu looked down at the exceptional wine in the bowl, the corresponding attribute information making him greatly praise it in his mind.
