Chapter 279 - 267: The Three Sages Refine Treasures in Tushita Palace
However, Wukong went to the Upper Pure Heaven to return the Slaying Immortal Four Swords and other Magical Treasures to the Tong Tian Sect Master, then headed towards the Tushita Palace in the Pure Clear Heaven.
Neither Laozi nor the Lord of Primordial Beginning had expected that Wukong would return after his departure, as they were in the midst of forging a thought of a Heavenly Dao Saint at that moment.
Laozi glanced at Wukong and said, "Why have you come back again?"
Feeling somewhat embarrassed, Wukong chuckled twice and said, "I came to ask for the Supreme Elderly Lord’s assistance! Who in this world doesn’t know that ’The commands of the Supreme Elderly Lord shall be hurled as swiftly as a law’? Your expertise in Artifact Refining and Alchemy are second to none. This time, I need your help in forging a Magical Treasure for me."
Upon hearing this, Laozi commented, "Well, you’ve praised me to the skies, leaving me no choice but to help you."
The Lord of Primordial Beginning nodded and added, "Wukong, you’re quite crafty indeed."
Wukong took the Eastern Emperor Bell out and released the shattered Heaven and Earth within it. He held the fragment of the shattered world in the palm of his hand and compressed it with Mana, lest it burst the bounds of Laozi’s Tushita Palace. Both the Lord of Primordial Beginning and Laozi were surprised when they saw the shattered Heaven and Earth in Wukong’s hands, their eyes then gleamed with excitement.
"Could this be... one of the worlds that was destroyed in the past aeons?" the Lord of Primordial Beginning asked hesitantly.
"Indeed! During my journey to the Chaotic World, I killed the Tathagata and captured this shattered world. It is said that the Hong Jun Taoist Patriarch once refined a shattered world and forged it into a Heaven and Earth Seal. Once invoked, it was as if the eternal blue sky itself was pressing down, and even a Heavenly Dao Saint would be squashed into pulp," Wukong explained.
Laozi nodded and said, "Indeed, our teacher does possess a Heaven and Earth Seal. Although the Chaotic World is boundless and vast, such shattered worlds are extremely hard to come by."
The Chaotic World was like a vast ocean to a tiny shrimp, boundless and endless.
