Yellow Court Daoist-Chapter 830 - 747: True Monarch! True Monarch! Wait for me, old man!

This side.

It is said that the Ancient Buddha Randeng reached the Western Heavenly Gate, went outside, retrieved the treasure bag, opened the mouth of the bag and gave it a shake downward.

The Pagoda-Bearing King Buddha, Lingji Bodhisattva, Sitting Arhat, Budai Arhat, and thousands of other Buddha disciples rolled out like hundreds of spinning gourds.

"Merciful Ancient Buddha!"

All the Buddhas bowed and thanked the Buddha.

The Ancient Buddha Randeng lost face and was displeased in his heart, He responded lightly and threw the Qiankun Treasure Bag to the expectant Budai Arhat.

"Thank you, Buddha."

"Thank you, Buddha."

Budai Arhat clutched the treasure bag, thanking profusely.

Recovering the Supreme Treasure brought boundless joy.

Even the earlier displeasure of being toyed with and suppressed by Tianpeng True Monarch was cast aside.

The Ancient Buddha Randeng ignored him and instead asked the Pagoda-Bearing King Buddha, "Where is the military command seal? Quickly summon back the nine million Buddha soldiers from the Tianhe."

The Pagoda-Bearing King Buddha, seeing Budai Arhat laughing heartily with the Qiankun Treasure Bag, was hesitant to speak.

At this moment, he heard his teacher inquire.

He hurriedly lamented, "I plead with teacher to administer justice for your disciple. Tianpeng True Monarch, that unfilial person, not only captured us using treacherous means, he also took all our treasures. Even the military command seal has fallen into his hands."

He possessed many treasures.

Linglong Treasure Tower.

Demon Mirror.

Evil-Slaying Sword.

Fangtian Trident.

Six Chen Whip.

Demon-Subduing Pestle.

Demon Binding Rope.

Heavenly Gang Saber.

Demon-slaying Saber.

Each of these, which was not a top grade Spiritual Treasure? All of them acquired when he was leading troops in the Heavenly Court as the Demon Suppressing Grand Marshal.

His assets were abundant.

Now, in the blink of an eye, he was left penniless.

How could he endure this?!

He and Lingji Bodhisattva, being trapped in the Qiankun Treasure Bag, also learned of the affairs in the Spirit Xiao Palace. Seeing the teacher leave, yet Tianpeng True Monarch never mentioning the return of the treasures, they were anxious but helpless.

At this time, he spoke out.

With a face full of expectation, he looked towards the Ancient Buddha Randeng.

"Such a Tianpeng!"

The Ancient Buddha Randeng, upon hearing this, recalled the expression of Tianpeng True Monarch earlier in the palace, only then did he understand.

It turns out he was worried about them demanding the return of the Spiritual Treasures.

This made him both amused and annoyed.

Suppressing his thoughts.

Looking at this disciple, the Ancient Buddha Randeng shook his head and said, "Just now, to save you all, I have already lost face in front of the Great Venerable. Now, to return and demand both weapons and spiritual treasures, wouldn't it make me a laughingstock?"

"However——"

The Pagoda-Bearing King Buddha's heart sank; he was unwilling to give up, and said, "Tianpeng also forcibly took our Dharma Image Golden Body, rendering our thousands of Yuan Hui of hard cultivation into nothing."

Not just the Spiritual Treasures.

When he was captured.

That little Tianpeng dared not kill him, but he forcefully took the Golden Body Dharma Image.

This was something he had cultivated for thousands of Yuan Hui.

Not only infused with mana comparable to his own.

All his Buddhist Sect's divine powers were formidable, and the battle power was no less than his own.

To have it taken like this.

Even more than losing the Spiritual Treasures, it pained him greatly.

Not only the Pagoda-Bearing King Buddha.

Lingji Bodhisattva and others, hearing this, touched upon a sore spot, they all looked towards the Ancient Buddha Randeng, hope kindling in their hearts, collectively lamented, "We plead with the Ancient Buddha to administer justice for us!"

"Dharma Image Golden Body?"

"That Tianpeng, such greed?!"

The Ancient Buddha Randeng heard the lamentations and felt the Three Corpse Gods within stirring and growing impatient.

The Golden Body Dharma Image is a battle technique of the Buddha Path. Once refined, it can greatly enhance battle power. Similarly, if broken, severed, or taken, one's strength would be halved.

Such a loss cannot be underestimated.

However.

Like the Spiritual Treasures.

For a few Golden Body Dharma Images, returning to the Spirit Xiao Palace to demand them was too much even for the Ancient Buddha Randeng to bear.

Furthermore, even if he did go to demand them back, if Tianpeng and the Jade Emperor shirked their responsibilities, it would just end in a dispute.

Merely to lose face.

To no avail.

"Time is long."

"Do not worry about immediate gain or loss, settle it later."

Though the Ancient Buddha Randeng cared not for appearances, he was unwilling to discard them meaninglessly.

He shook his head and waved his hand.

Unwilling to demand it back.

Seeing that the crowd still had more to say, the Ancient Buddha Randeng shifted the topic, pointing to the Earth Erupting Golden Light Venerable behind the Pagoda-Bearing King Buddha: "You take my decree, swiftly head to the Tianhe, summon back the nine million Buddha soldiers to the Spiritual Mountain."

The crowd, seeing this, could only begrudgingly relent.

Looking towards the one the Ancient Buddha pointed to.

"Your disciple accepts the decree!"

The voice responding, however, was that of a female Venerable.

Most recognized her.

The Ancient Buddha Randeng solemnly gave his word to the Jade Emperor, saying the Pagoda-Bearing King Buddha would never set foot in the Tianhe again.

Thus, the Pagoda-Bearing King Buddha could not go.

But the Earth Erupting Golden Light Venerable was the foster daughter of the Pagoda-Bearing King Buddha. When Li Jing defected from the Heavenly Court to the Buddhist Sect, the four Heavenly Kings under his command and other generals, such as the Immortal of Colossal Spirit, remained in the Heavenly Court and did not follow him.

Only this foster daughter.

Originally titled 'Lady Earth Flow,' she was the Golden-nosed White-haired Rat Spirit who attained the Way.

After stealing and eating the Tathagata's fragrant flower candle at the Spiritual Mountain, she was caught by Li Jing. At that time, he spared her life, accumulating gratitude, and she adopted Li Jing as her father. When Li Jing turned to the Buddhist Sect, lacking capable people under his command, he converted his foster daughter and sought from the Ancient Buddha Randeng a position of Venerable for her, a rank comparable to that of an Arhat.

All Tianhe Buddhist soldiers knew her.

With her going and carrying the Ancient Buddha Randeng's decree, there was no need for the command seal.

At this moment.

The Earth Erupting Golden Light Venerable headed towards the Tianhe.

While the Ancient Buddha Randeng and the Pagoda-Bearing King Buddha and all others headed to Western Heavenly Bliss.

...

The other side.

In the Spirit Xiao Palace.

The Ancient Buddha and emissaries departed.

The Jade Emperor was filled with joy, looking at Tianpeng True Monarch in the hall, he spoke loudly: "Tianpeng True Monarch swiftly resolved the Tianhe rebellion without wasting a single soldier, subduing the nine million rebellious soldiers, this is a great achievement, deserving of great reward."

Immediately calling out: "Where is Tianpeng True Monarch?"

"Your humble subject is here."

Lu Qingfeng stepped forward, his heart filled with anticipation.

With swift and decisive action, he resolved the Tianhe entanglement cleanly and efficiently, and did so most impressively—

Not only restoring the Tianhe to Heavenly Court's control, eliminating future troubles but also earning ample face for this Jade Emperor of His Majesty both in Huaguo Mountain and Spiritual Mountain.

Just look at the radiant light on the Great Venerable's face.

It's truly beyond any reward.

All Immortals in the hall also looked toward Lu Qingfeng.

Some were envious.

Some were jealous.

Lu Qingfeng ignored it all, waiting for the Jade Emperor to speak.

The Jade Emperor, seeing this, laughed heartily and immediately said, "True Monarch is devoted to cultivation. Apart from the Eight Treasures Immortal Brew and Bright Pearl Treasures, I decree that True Monarch shall enter the Celestial Stars for cultivation for three years. Additionally, I grant six baskets of nine-thousand-year-old Peaches, thirty-six baskets of six-thousand-year-old Peaches, and one hundred and eight baskets of three-thousand-year-old Peaches. The 'Nine Revolutions Golden Core' refined by the Old Lord, when consumed by a mortal, will instantly make them an immortal. I don't have many here, so I grant True Monarch one gourd; it can either enhance mana or assist your disciples and subordinates, as you see fit. Also, the Ginsengfruit given by Immortal Zhenyuan of Wuzhuang Temple, I gift three for True Monarch to taste."

Goodness——

Immortal Spirit Peaches!

Nine Revolutions Golden Core!

Ginseng Holy Fruit!

These are the topmost precious fruits and spiritual objects under heaven and earth.

Just look at the Immortals in the hall upon hearing this, all taking a deep breath, swallowing saliva, and with astonished expressions with drool running down, to know their preciousness.

The Jade Emperor opened his mouth.

The Peaches were granted basket by basket, the Golden Core was given in a gourd.

It flowers once every three thousand years, bears fruit every three thousand years, and ripens after another three thousand years, only after ten thousand years can it be eaten. Like this ten thousand years, only thirty Ginsengfruits are borne, cherished by Immortal Zhenyuan, even the Jade Emperor himself doesn't have many, yet he still grants three.

Not just the immortal ministers.

Lu Qingfeng was also overwhelmed by the Jade Emperor's generosity.

And beyond these.

To cultivate for three years in the Celestial Stars, it may not sound impressive.

But you must know, Lu Qingfeng's Tianpeng Water Mansion, with just a slight tilt of star power, is already a top-notch cultivation treasure ground in the Heavenly Realm.

And among the Celestial Stars, the Star Essence is inexhaustible, truly the original source. Even one or two hours of cultivation is a heavenly grace, a celestial chance.

Lu Qingfeng is allowed three years.

Truly an immense opportunity.

His heart was surging.

Far exceeding his expectations.

Lu Qingfeng hurriedly, with hands cupped, bowed to the Jade Emperor above, loudly saying: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!"

This voice of thanks was extremely loud, shaking Spirit Xiao, truly heartfelt and sincere.

"Haha!"

"Tianpeng True Monarch rectified Tianhe, eliminated stubborn ailments, this is indeed a great merit. If the reward is too small, wouldn't the Three Realms look down on the Heavenly Court?"

The Jade Emperor's laugh was loud.

Spending a fortune on a horse skeleton.

No more than that.

The Immortals in the hall understood, regardless of envy or jealousy.

Lu Qingfeng didn't care much, happily unable to close his mouth.

Waiting for the reward.

Before long.

Fairies carrying flower baskets, chirping and fluttering, entered the hall. In the baskets, ripe Big Peaches, Medium Peaches, and Small Peaches, spreading a rich fragrance, making the Immortals' eyes turn red.

Also, a Daoist Child brought a Purple Gold Gourd. Lifting the lid slightly, the aroma of the pill was fragrant and refreshing.

Three Powerful Warriors each brought a Dan Plate, lifting a corner of the silk cloth, revealing a small doll, similar to a newborn less than three days old, complete with limbs and perfect features. Smelling it seemed to extend life by three hundred and sixty years.

"Flat Peach."

"Nine Revolutions Immortal Pill."

"Ginsengfruit."

Seeing this, Lu Qingfeng thanked the Jade Emperor again, disregarding etiquette, hurriedly taking all the peaches, pills, and fruits at once.

"Whew whew!"

Only then did the scene of wolves surrounding the hall slightly ease.

Intending to leave.

Suddenly remembered something.

Lu Qingfeng asked: "Your Majesty, when can one go among the stars?"

"Haha."

"True Monarch is indeed impatient."

The Jade Emperor laughed aloud, not taking offense, immediately issuing a decree, handing a Golden List to Lu Qingfeng: "With my decree, you may go at any time."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Lu Qingfeng thanked again, put away the Golden List.

Only then was he at ease.

Wishing not to linger.

So he said: "Tianhe has just experienced turmoil, and there are many urgent affairs to handle. This humble servant cannot stay long, and will return to Tianhe so as not to fail Your Majesty's grace."

"I was thinking of arranging a feast at the Turquoise Pool, to celebrate for the True Monarch."

The Jade Emperor said.

Lu Qingfeng waved his hand, hurriedly declining: "I cannot, I cannot. Your Majesty's kindness, I shall cherish in my heart. But with thoughts on the affairs of Tianhe, I truly dare not delay."

Possessing great wealth.

How could Lu Qingfeng dare to attend any banquet? Attending this feast might result in the still warm rewards being emptied right there.

Lu Qingfeng was extremely frugal.

Why would he be willing?

"True Monarch is concerned with Tianhe Military Affairs, afraid the banquet wouldn't be enjoyable either."

"If so."

"True Monarch may go as you wish. You can make up for it after the Tianhe affairs are concluded, it's not too late."

The Jade Emperor was considerate, allowed Lu Qingfeng to leave.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"This humble servant takes his leave."

Lu Qingfeng bowed, stood up, turned, and strode away swiftly without any hesitation.

In the hall.

"Your Majesty, I also have urgent matters, thus I take my leave."

"Your Majesty, I suddenly remembered, there are military matters that must be handled, if delayed might change, I take leave."

"Your Majesty..."

"Your Majesty..."

The Immortals watched Tianpeng True Monarch leave in haste, one by one also hastened to request leave from the Jade Emperor.

"Didn't expect the immortal ministers to be so busy."

"If so, let's adjourn the court."

The Jade Emperor with a smile, rose and left.

"Adjourn court!"

Gold Star Taibai stepped forward, declared aloud.

At the very moment the Jade Emperor was about to leave—

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Stepping on meteors, chasing out of Spirit Xiao Palace, still calling: "True Monarch! True Monarch! Wait for the old one!"

"..."

Lu Qingfeng heard the commotion behind, and his Cloud Pinnacle Steps were pushed to the extreme.

Heading straight for Tianhe without looking back!
