Chapter 94: Seventy-Two Days Since Ascension to Heaven
Tongming Hall.
The Jade Emperor, in a white robe, stood with his hands clasped behind his back, gazing out at the vast expanse of Heaven, his eyes shimmering as if galaxies swirled within them.
Taibai Venus stood respectfully at his side, also lost in thought.
"What has Sun Wukong been up to recently?" the Jade Emperor suddenly asked.
Taibai Venus couldn’t help but laugh, "Great Sage is currently leading the officials of the Refining Fire Hall, distributing newly forged Spirit Guiding Instruments to the celestial soldiers and generals everywhere, making his presence felt like he’s inspecting troops."
"He sure knows how to show off," the Jade Emperor said with a smile. "It seems it’s time to give him more responsibilities, to prevent him from meddling in other matters when idle."
Taibai Venus immediately grasped the Jade Emperor’s intention and, after a moment of contemplation, said, "Your Majesty, I am still somewhat concerned,
Great Sage has updated the armaments of the celestial army, and this achievement is visible to all, but can his strength really keep those proud, fierce generals of the Earthly Fiends in check?"
The gods and generals of the Earthly Fiends, many of whom had earned extraordinary military merits during the Divine Enthronement War, certainly included some formidable masters among them.
"Haven’t you always had a high opinion of him? Why would you underestimate him now?" the Jade Emperor smiled, "Before his ascension, after only ten years of cultivation, he was able to overpower the Bull Demon King, the Flood Demon King, and six other Demon Kings. Have you calculated how much time he has spent in Heaven?"
