The Battle in Journey to the West

Up in the Upper Pure Heaven, Emperor Chen arrived to seek out Celestial Venerable Spiritual Treasure, entering Mira Palace. He bowed to the Celestial Venerable from afar.

The Heaven-Penetrating Sect Hierarch opened his eyes, lifted his hand, and said, "Emperor Chen, there’s no need for such formalities. Tell me what brings you here."

Emperor Chen frowned and said, "Celestial Venerable, Zhuge Kongming is crucial for the balance of fate in the three kingdoms. He has prayed for an extension of twelve years of life. Why won’t you allow us to assist him?"

The Heaven-Penetrating Sect Hierarch shook his head and said, "He set fire to the Rattan Armor Soldiers, and these twelve years of life are decreed by destiny, not to be cleverly seized."

Emperor Chen spoke again, "I preside over warfare and slaughtering, and I see that the battles near Qishan are about to start again. People from the Buddhist sect are acting secretly. Why won’t you allow me to go out?"

The Heaven-Penetrating Sect Hierarch shook his head again and said, "I cannot tell, I cannot tell! Emperor Chen, retreat for now. When the time comes, you will have your answer."

Although Emperor Chen dared not ask further and could only bow formally and withdraw, despite his powerful position in the Heavenly Court, he still maintained utmost respect when facing the Three Pure ones.

As soon as Emperor Chen left, Wusheng arrived. He said to the Heaven-Penetrating Sect Hierarch, "Master, I too am puzzled. Why not lend a hand?"

The Heaven-Penetrating Sect Hierarch smiled lightly, waved his hand, closed his eyes, and said no more. This time, it seemed that the Three Pure Ones had silently agreed to prevent the great emperors of the Heavenly Court from intervening in the Human Path, apparently having another plan. Naturally, this was because the Heaven-Penetrating Sect Hierarch knew the Heavenly Dao had already been reversed, and now, it was merely raking up old issues. The Heavenly Dao is difficult to change, so let the one who survived its reversal grow strong.

Although Emperor Chen was perplexed, he dared not defy the Saint’s will. Moreover, he could sit on the throne of Emperor because he was supported by the Three Pure Ones during the great calamity of ancient times; without them, he would have long since turned to ash.

Meanwhile, Flying Liann took advantage of Wei Yan lifting the tent and unleashed a blast of evil wind, extinguishing Zhuge Liang’s life lamp. Daoist Equal to Heaven immediately burst into a thunderous rage, watching a nearly successful deed being foiled; his heart was filled with uncontrollable fury, abandoning Mahoraga to chase after Flying Liann.

The Heavenly Demon King relentlessly pursued Flying Liann while Daoist Equal to Heaven followed behind. Flying Liann’s Escape Technique was extraordinary, making it quite difficult to catch up in a short time.
