Chu Hao's lips curled into a dangerous smile.
“Thank you, Queen Mother! Thank you, Your Majesty!”
With the permission of these two big shots, Chu Hao could basically be certain that experts at the Great Luo Perfection and Quasi-Sage levels wouldn't interfere.
After all, there were only a handful of beings in the Western Paradise who had reached the Great Luo Perfection and Quasi-Sage levels, and they could be easily monitored.
That was enough!
The immortals present were all secretly surprised, never expecting that even the Queen Mother would be willing to stand up for Chu Hao.
Just how much favor did this Chu Hao have from the heavens!
“Esteemed officials, is there anything else?”
The Jade Emperor said loudly.
The immortals looked at each other.
It seemed like there was nothing else. Could there be anything more important than Chu Hao wanting to hunt down Great Luo Immortals?
Obviously not.
“Then, let the court be dismissed!”
“Chu Hao, you stay behind.”
The Jade Emperor added.
The immortals present exchanged glances, somewhat puzzled, but dared not speculate on the will of Heaven, and took their leave.
Inside the Hall of High Heaven, only Chu Hao and the Jade Emperor remained, facing each other.
Chu Hao was very candid, “Your Majesty kept me here, presumably because of the Journey to the West?”
The Jade Emperor was taken aback for a moment, then smiled slightly,
“Indeed, you are very clever.”
“Jail God, do you know who is the most important person in this Journey to the West?”
Chu Hao raised an eyebrow,
“Sun Wukong?”
The Jade Emperor shook his head, “Not so, not so.”
Chu Hao was completely bewildered. What the hell? Sun Wukong wasn't the main character?
The Jade Emperor said loudly:
Chu Hao was startled, pointing at himself with a look of astonishment,
“Me? Your Majesty, please don't joke around. I'm just slacking off!”
The Jade Emperor smiled and shook his head, “It seems you still don't know why. Let me ask you first, do you know why there is a Journey to the West?”
Chu Hao was dumbfounded, “This… this touches on my blind spot of knowledge. Isn't this the result of negotiations between the Heavenly Court and the Western Church?”
The Jade Emperor sneered, “The Journey to the West is to introduce the Western Church into the Southern Jambudvipa. What do you think will happen once the Western Church is stationed in the Southern Jambudvipa?”
Chu Hao said without hesitation:
“The Western Church has always been deceitful and fame-seeking, fooling the world, with brutal and despicable means. Once stationed in the Southern Jambudvipa, I'm afraid the Western Church will forcibly plunder the faith of all the people in the Southern Jambudvipa.”
“At that time, people will be foolish and ignorant, without reason or dignity, and will only become tools of the Western Church.”
“I despise the Western Church a thousand times over. Your Majesty, I would also like to know why the Heavenly Court agreed to such a frustrating thing!”
Chu Hao was filled with righteous indignation, looking at the Jade Emperor with bright eyes.
Chu Hao had wanted to ask this question for a long time. Wouldn't the Journey to the West be equivalent to handing over the Southern Jambudvipa?
Especially to that hypocritical and despicable Western Church.
The Jade Emperor looked at Chu Hao's bright eyes, and sighed for a long time,
“Do you think I don't know that the Journey to the West is like letting a wolf into the house? Letting the Western Church plunder faith and extort taxes in the Southern Jambudvipa, who doesn't feel resentful looking at it?”
“But I am helpless. This world has never belonged to one person.”
The Jade Emperor sighed deeply, his voice full of helplessness.
Chu Hao couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. The Jade Emperor was, after all, the Supreme of the Three Realms, yet he was helpless in the face of this matter?
Chu Hao couldn't help but ask: “Could it be that this was decided by a Sage?”
The Jade Emperor shook his head, “The will of the Sages can be reversed, but the general trend of the Heavenly Dao cannot be reversed!”
“The Journey to the West is the karma planted during the Investiture of the Gods, it is the general trend of the Heavenly Dao, it cannot be reversed…”
Chu Hao was shocked, straightened his posture, and listened attentively.
The Jade Emperor sighed softly before saying:
“During the Battle of the Investiture of the Gods, the Three Teachings destroyed the Shang Dynasty. In the end, the Western Church helped the Chan Teaching to destroy the Jie Teaching, sealing the ten thousand true spirits of the Jie Teaching and establishing the Investiture of the Gods list, only then was the killing tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods completed.”
“However, because of this, the Chan Teaching owed the Western Church a great karma. And since the Investiture of the Gods, the Three Pure Ones were fed the Meteorite Pills, and were all taken away, and since then, the Sages have not appeared in the world.”
“And in the world, the Western Church took this opportunity to bring most of the strong from the Chan Teaching under its banner, vaguely becoming the strongest force in the world.”
“Not only that, because the Chan Teaching owed the Western Church a great karma, a new immeasurable tribulation arose. In order to complete this killing tribulation, the Journey to the West was established, allowing the Western Church to enter the Southern Jambudvipa.”
Chu Hao listened with great shock. Although Chu Hao had some guesses about the Journey to the West.
But until he heard these secrets of the Sages, Chu Hao only felt that his worldview was being refreshed again and again.
Although he knew that once the Western Church was stationed in the Southern Jambudvipa, it would definitely use those despicable means, extorting taxes and plundering faith.
But the Sages didn't care.
Sage Laozi and Heavenly Lord Yuanshi owed the Second Sages of the West karma, and in this immeasurable tribulation, they sold all the living beings of the Southern Jambudvipa and gave them to the Western Church.
In the eyes of the Sages, they only cared about karma, merit, and completing the killing tribulation.
Other things were irrelevant.
Chu Hao's face was full of emotion, and he sighed, “Sages are not benevolent, treating the common people as straw dogs. So it turns out, it really is like this.”
The Jade Emperor's eyes shone, and he murmured: “Yes, Sages are not benevolent, treating the common people as straw dogs… You kid has quite a bit of understanding.”
Chu Hao came back to his senses, looking at the Jade Emperor with a puzzled expression,
“But Your Majesty, what does this have to do with me? The Journey to the West has been decided, and I can't influence it in the slightest. I wasn't even born yet, how did I become the key to whether the Journey to the West can succeed?”
The Jade Emperor stared at Chu Hao, saying each word carefully:
“Because you are an anomaly! You are the anomaly in this immeasurable tribulation that can change the world!”
Chu Hao was shocked.
Chu Hao also remembered that the Leader of Tongtian had said that he was an anomaly, and even Venerable Kashyapa said some strange things before his death.
But Chu Hao didn't care, only feeling that those were nonsense.
But even the Jade Emperor said that he was an anomaly?
The Sages and the Supreme of the Three Realms have all locked onto Chu Hao as an anomaly. Chu Hao felt a pain in his balls.
The Jade Emperor saw Chu Hao's disbelieving expression and said loudly:
“The so-called Great Dao is fifty, the Heavenly Dao is forty-nine, you are the only anomaly that has escaped.”
“The anomaly of the Heavenly Dao, even Dao Ancestor cannot eliminate, otherwise he will suffer the consequences. Therefore, the Western Church dares not act rashly against you.”
“Battles at the Great Luo Golden Immortal level have been extremely rare since the Investiture of the Gods. What's more, six Great Luo Golden Immortals were dispatched at the same time! Do you think that the Western Church would do this just because of some personal grudges?”
“Precisely because you are an anomaly and cannot be controlled. Therefore, when you were undergoing tribulation, the heavenly secrets were obscured, so the Western Church went all out, just to kill you!”
There was a slight sweat on Chu Hao's forehead. It seemed that he had underestimated the Western Church's killing intent towards him.
I'm afraid that Chu Hao's tribulation this time had long been watched closely by the Western Church!
