Chapter 86 - 084: The Celestial Palace Gods Capture the Monster_2
The Queen Mother of the West had long resided in Yao Pond, and was not too clear about these matters. After hearing the Jade Emperor’s explanation, she couldn’t help but feel indignant and said, "I never would’ve thought the Three Pures could be so despicable! If Old Master Hongjun were still here, how could he tolerate their arrogance?"
The Jade Emperor then said, "Your Majesty, please calm your anger. A decree from the Supreme Pure Ones is likely to arrive soon, and I must feign compliance. Yuan Shi, that upstart, wields the God-Beating Whip, and I fear the world’s karmic forces are already too great. If the Heavenly Dao sends a calamity to settle scores, that man might use the Divine Whip to re-establish the Three Pures."
The God-Beating Whip is a Heavenly Dao Divine Artifact granted to Yuan Shi Immortal Monarch by Hongjun Daozu. With this whip in hand, one can utilize the power of the Heavenly Dao during a great calamity to re-establish order in the Three Realms and re-arrange the heavenly ranks! Even the Jade Emperor himself could be called into account, as the whip’s power is truly formidable. Otherwise, with the Jade Emperor upholding the fortune of the Three Realms, why should he fear Yuan Shi Immortal Monarch? Should Yuan Shi dare to act against him, it would create significant karmic forces, and when the Heavenly Dao sends its calamity to settle accounts, even Yuan Shi would not be exempt! However, since Yuan Shi Immortal Monarch possesses the God-Beating Whip, the Jade Emperor is wary and cautious.
The Queen Mother said, "So, Your Majesty has secretly instructed Taiyi Heavenly Venerable to form an alliance with the Buddhist sect to plot against the Three Purities?"
Great Emperor Qinghua of the East Pole and Taiyi Salvation Heavenly Venerable are the Jade Emperor’s confidants. The Jade Emperor secretly ordered Taiyi Salvation Heavenly Venerable to align with the Buddhist sect, aiding them in spreading their teachings, using Buddhism to check the power of the Three Purities and then to seize even greater authority amid the ensuing chaos! This was the Jade Emperor’s plan.
The Jade Emperor commanded You Yi Ling Officer to step forward to investigate the disturbance caused by the Monkey King at the Flat Peach Festival and to prepare the troops to subdue Flower-Fruit Mountain.
The Queen Mother, in a burst of anger, said, "Please, Your Majesty, retrieve those peaches for me, or else the task of nurturing powerful warriors will end before it even starts!"
The Queen Mother also harbored resentment towards the Three Pures for scheming away so many of her Peaches of Immortality.
"Report! Your Majesty, Your Majesty. The Monkey Demon Sun Wukong has held a Flat Peach Festival at Flower-Fruit Mountain, gathering the Seventy-Two Cave Demon Kings and six great demons. The event is grand, claiming that since Your Majesty did not invite him to the Flat Peach Festival, he would host his own," reported the brothers Thousand-Mile Eyes and Ears that Reach Around the Corners.
