264: Chapter 264 Haotian: Where is my tree?

In the Heavenly Court's Imperial Horse Stable, the Monkey King held many books—volumes of Cultivation Techniques. He wouldn't be so reckless as to immediately start wreaking havoc in this world.

Or directly fall out with the Heavenly Court; that was clearly impossible.

The foundation of the Heavenly Court was simply too strong. In his hand, he held a Cultivation Technique manual, which included those from the Dao Sect, the Buddhist Path, and even those created by numerous Great Luo Loose Cultivators.

The profound mysteries within them provided considerable insights, even for the Monkey King at the Taiyi Peak.

"I've almost finished reading the Cultivation Techniques of the Immortal Dao and the Buddhist Path; only the Demonic Path remains. Demonic Path Cultivation Techniques are hard to come by. I wonder if That One, Old Daoist Qing Xuan, has any?"

His gaze shifted toward a certain spot in the Heavenly Court. He had a general understanding of the situation there now, and he was extremely wary of Old Daoist Qing Xuan.

In the Heavenly Court, based on the division of strength, those who reach the Realm of Immortals are Celestial Soldiers. Immortal Golden Immortals are Celestial Generals. Above the Immortal Golden Immortals, they can be called Star Lords or Immortal Lords in the Heavenly Court.

Yet, That One, Old Daoist Qing Xuan, was merely a Celestial Soldier. This made him even more cautious and also allowed him to feel the immense power of the Heavenly Court.

There were countless Great Luo Experts in the Heavenly Court, and many places he could not spy upon.

If he couldn't spy on them, it meant those existences were stronger than him.

After pondering for a moment, he finally made up his mind.

"Forget it. It's true that Old Daoist Qing Xuan is powerful, but for That One to hide such immense cultivation in the Heavenly Court, there must be a scheme involved. Should I first try Dao-Buddhist Dual Cultivation? Comprehending the mysteries of the Immortal Dao and the Buddhist Path shouldn't be too difficult given my Realm."

The Monkey King mused silently. He had some confidence in this, as the book *journey to the west* and some of the contents revealed within had warned him significantly.

Inside Mount Lingtai Fangcun, he hadn't fooled around at all. He had also studied many Daoist Scriptures, which were somewhat beneficial to his Realm and comprehension.

Although he hadn't fully grasped the mysteries of the Daluo Realm, he vaguely suspected the concept that Buddhism originates from Daoism.

Without hesitation, the power of the Buddhist Path and the Immortal Dao intertwined and merged on his body.

As for Qing Xuan, he didn't plan on having any interaction with that guy.

Since That One's strength was so immense, why was he in his current state? Clearly, That One had his own issues or was plotting something.

His relationship with the Heavenly Court wasn't good, so why should he interfere?

At this moment, within the Great Overarching Heaven, the Great Luo Experts were starting to lose patience.

"Fellow Daoist Jieyin, Daoist Zhunti, it's time for you to come up with a solution. If we don't find a way to resolve this, the current situation in the world is not favorable for us."

"If the Monkey King doesn't cause trouble, how can we suppress him? How can we find a reason for him to go on the Scripture Pilgrimage, allowing you to pay off the final debt and deplete the last of the world's Spiritual Qi and foundation?"

"Are we supposed to forcefully intervene? With our collective strength, we can indeed forcibly interfere with the Great Dao of Karma between Heaven and Earth, but that would likely lead to another problem."

Tongtian stepped forward and spoke with a solemn expression. Daoist Jieyin and Daoist Zhunti's hearts sank; they naturally knew the problem Tongtian was referring to.

The arrival of the Age of the End of Dharma symbolizes the true end of the cultivation era between Heaven and Earth, and they will face the backlash of numerous Cultivators.

And the backlash of the entire cultivation era. Naturally, they couldn't endure it, and perhaps not even the Heavenly Dao could withstand it.

After all, although this situation represents the evolution of Heaven and Earth, it carries enormous risks.

If they didn't pursue the Wuji World, the Great Desolation would continuously grow stronger, with its Origin and power constantly increasing, though it would still remain below the Wuji Level.

A world that has achieved the Wuji Level can generate Spiritual Qi from nothingness even if it leaves the Boundless Sea of Chaos and exists in The Void. The revival of Chaos Demon Gods would only lead them to a dead end.

"Enough. Why dwell on this matter? That Stone Monkey is just a monkey, after all. Furthermore, among beings of our Realm, who among us didn't study in the Demonic Path back then?"

"What do monkeys like? Female monkeys? As a creature nurtured by Heaven and Earth, he has long since shed such desires. But what monkeys love most, besides female monkeys, is food. Give him a promotion: let him guard the Peach Garden."

"A promotion, guarding the Peach Garden."

The Great Luo Experts were stunned for a moment, then a hint of joy appeared on their faces. This was indeed a good method.

As for whether that monkey could resist, they had other methods. Being in the Grand Unity Golden Immortal Realm allows one to manipulate Karma, and many long-standing existences have studied in the Demonic Path.

Manipulating emotions and stirring up inner desires makes them even more powerful.

Without hesitation, an Imperial Decree descended from the Great Overarching Heaven.

"By order of the Heavenly Emperor, the Monkey King is rewarded for his meritorious service in training Celestial Horses over the years. He is granted the position of overseeing the Peach Garden, effective immediately."

An Imperial Decree descended from The Sky, and the Monkey King walked toward the Peach Garden without hesitation.

The Peach Garden at this time was naturally not the Supreme innate spiritual root, as there is only one true innate spiritual root. Its essence is extremely powerful, especially since Heaven and Earth are constantly transforming; the genuine innate spiritual root would likely have some effect even on Daluo Realm existences.

This was only a product cultivated from a portion of the innate spiritual root Origin, combined with second-generation innate spiritual roots. Although it contained a trace of the mysteries and profundities of the Daluo Realm, it was useless to true Grand Unity Golden Immortals.

As soon as he stepped into the Peach Garden, an inexplicable feeling arose in the Monkey King's heart, and a surge of immense desire surfaced: What wonderful Peaches of Immortality! They must all belong to me. I must eat them all, and take away whatever I can't finish.

This thought spontaneously arose in the Monkey King's mind. He looked at the Peach Garden, his eyes filled with possessiveness. The Aura of Immortal Dao and the Buddhist Path condensed on his body, and he gradually recovered a shred of consciousness.

"No! Someone is scheming against Old Sun! What terrifying power of Karma, capable of stirring up Old Sun's inner desires! This absolutely cannot continue."

But looking at the Peaches of Immortality throughout the Peach Garden, the desire he had just suppressed flared up again.

A trace of anger radiated from his eyes.

What a Heavenly Court! He had already complied this far, yet they still used such methods to try and trick him.

His gaze swept across the entire Heavenly Court and the Peach Garden, and an idea spontaneously arose.

How much benefit is there in eating these Peaches of Immortality? If I'm going to eat, I'll eat the trees too! Feeling the faint, ethereal Innate Qi Mechanism on these Peaches of Immortality, he didn't hesitate and immediately began to act.

Above the Great Overarching Heaven, an angry voice rang out.

"That Cursed Monkey! My trees!"
