The Cloudy Palace of the Golden Arches was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
The immortals looked at the mirror in the middle of the palace and watched as Cloud Sky City slowly rose. Their eyes were filled with disbelief.
The city was really flying.
The dao techniques of the mortal world could actually create a floating city.
The immortals couldn't believe it. Twenty years on Mount Huaguo was only twenty days in their eyes. Mount Huaguo had changed too quickly.
"Your Majesty."
Venus Taibai came back to his senses and walked out from among the immortal officials.
He was about to speak when the Jade Emperor raised his hand to stop him.
The Jade Emperor said, "The Monkey King has educated thousands of demons. He is really a rare virtuous monkey. I want to recruit him."
The immortal officials were in an uproar.
The Jade Emperor just said he wouldn't recruit the Monkey King. Why did he change his mind so quickly?
"Your Majesty."
Venus Taibai was happy. He cupped his hands at the Jade Emperor and said, "The Monkey King is good at governance and is no less talented than me. I am willing to give up my position to him."
The Cloudy Palace of the Golden Arches was in an uproar again.
The Jade Emperor was shocked. "Venus Taibai, why do you say that?"
King Tota couldn't help but walk forward and say angrily, "Your Majesty, that demon monkey must have told Venus Taibai to say that!"
The Jade Emperor's face darkened. "Venus Taibai, is Li Tianwang speaking the truth?"
"No." Venus Taibai shook his head. "These are my heartfelt words. I am willing to give up my position to the Monkey King."
The Monkey King didn't ask Venus Taibai to give up his position. He didn't care about the position. He just wanted a right — to lead the Heavenly Palace to reform.
But this request would make all the immortals unhappy. Venus Taibai couldn't tell the Jade Emperor about it. He also knew that the Jade Emperor would reject it.
After much consideration, Venus Taibai finally chose a compromise. She would first give her immortal position to the Monkey King.
He was a close official of the Jade Emperor and was not afraid of cold treatment. Even if he gave up his position, the Jade Emperor would arrange a new one for him.
Now that his position as an immortal had the intention of reforming, the Monkey King might be able to accept it.
It was a pity that Venus Taibai was willing to sacrifice herself, but the other celestial officials disagreed. They all reported to the Jade Emperor to give the Monkey King another celestial position.
"We'll discuss this matter later."
The Jade Emperor was annoyed and had the mirror carried away, not even looking at the floating city.
Venus Taibai felt it was a pity, but he knew that the Jade Emperor would have this reaction, so he wasn't in a hurry for the time being.
The Jade Emperor had the idea of recruiting the Monkey King, so he would definitely mention this matter again in the future.
Venus Taibai planned to talk to him in a few days, and at the same time call a few other celestial officials to say some good things, so that the Jade Emperor would be able to accept it calmly.
At the end of the meeting, Venus Taibai left the Ling Xiao Palace.
"Venus Taibai."
King Tota caught up with him and asked, "That Monkey King is bound to be a scourge to the Heavenly Palace in the future, why do you have to recommend him again and again?"
"Li Tianwang, you don't know the Monkey King as well as I do."
Venus Taibai shook his head and said, "He is kind, we are kind to him, he will naturally be kind to us."
Li Tianwang snorted coldly, of course he didn't believe it.
Since they couldn't get along, Li Tianwang bid farewell to Venus Taibai and left.
At this time, another group of celestial soldiers flew over, protecting a carriage.
"Venus Taibai, the Great Emperor requests your presence!"
A celestial official dressed in court clothes stood in front of the carriage and shouted to Venus Taibai.
Venus Taibai recognized him as True Lord Yousheng's assistant envoy, the Spirit Officer King Deacon, and quickly flew over and bowed to the carriage.
"Why is the Great Emperor looking for me?"
"Venus Taibai, come in and talk."
True Lord Yousheng was Zhenwu Emperor, he invited Venus Taibai into the carriage, and asked Li Tianwang why he stopped him.
Venus Taibai told him everything.
"I see, it's because of that Monkey King again."
Zhenwu Emperor nodded and said, "Li Tianwang's worries are not unreasonable."
He had met the Monkey King once before, when he was fighting against the Yao Kingdom, Bull Demon suddenly bumped into him, he looked into the distance and saw the Monkey King.
At that time, he felt that the Monkey King was not simple.
Although Sun Wukong hadn't done anything evil in the past few years, he had still shocked the immortals.
The Monkey King used such a short time to transform Mount Huaguo into its current state, then what about hundreds or thousands of years later?
As long as Zhenwu Emperor thought about it, he would shudder. After all, to the immortals, hundreds of years passed too quickly.
Unknowingly, the Monkey King could shake the foundation of the Heavenly Palace.
"Venus Taibai, let me tell you a secret."
Zhenwu Emperor said, "Jade Emperor has been investigating the Monkey King recently, and even I have helped a lot."
Venus Taibai was a little surprised. "Why?"
"To eradicate him, of course."
Zhenwu Emperor said.
Since the establishment of the Spiritual Network, Jade Emperor had sensed the threat of the Monkey King. The reason why he did not act was because he had always felt uneasy.
He asked people to investigate to find the source of this uneasiness.
And now, there was a result.
"The Monkey King is good at transformation, and he has a divine ability that is like looking at flowers in the fog, untouchable and untouchable."
Zhenwu the Great said, "If he doesn't crack this Divine Sense, no one in the Three Realms will be able to kill him. Even if the Jade Emperor sends an army to suppress him, he can still hide outside and come back after he has cultivated the Great Path."
The Monkey King was born smart, and he was also a variable of the world. If he was allowed to cultivate for hundreds of years, who knew how terrifying he would be.
When he came back, the Heavenly Palace would be even more difficult to resist.
The source of the Jade Emperor's uneasiness was the Monkey King's divine ability. He could hide and hide, and if he could not be killed, he would not stop until he was dead.
"If the Jade Emperor knew about this ability, he would have to summon the Monkey King to heaven."
Zhenwu Emperor said, "The Jade Emperor is kind, and so is the Monkey King. You should continue to pull strings for them."
Venus Taibai broke out in a cold sweat. He always felt that he couldn't become enemies with the Monkey King, but he didn't know why.
Now he understood. So the Monkey King had this kind of divine ability.
He thanked Zhenwu Emperor profusely.
"No need to thank me, I also support your decision."
Zhenwu Emperor smiled, "I've watched the Monkey King for over 10 years, and I think the same as you. He is a demonic immortal that can be befriended."
After discovering the Monkey King's divine ability, Zhenwu Emperor looked back at everything he did, and he actually had a good impression of the Monkey King.
He was originally a variable of the world, but he didn't choose to hide. Instead, he exposed himself to prove his will.
Everything he did at Mount Huaguo was actually to tell the immortals what he wanted to bring to the Three Realms.
Thinking about it this way, he realized that the Monkey King was a wise and benevolent demonic immortal. He had no intention of becoming enemies with the Heavenly Palace, and he even took the initiative to express his goodwill.
"The Monkey King is proud and arrogant, but he is different from other demons."
Zhenwu Emperor said, "If the Jade Emperor treats him well, he might become a good subject."
"I understand."
Venus Taibai nodded. He knew what to do.
He thanked Zhenwu Emperor and was about to leave when he heard a shout from outside.
"His Majesty the Jade Emperor has ordered for all immortal officials to return to the Ling Xiao Palace of the Golden Arches to discuss!"
Venus Taibai and Zhenwu Emperor looked at each other in surprise.
