Chapter 73: Sun Wukong Enters Heaven's Palace

  Lei Hao used his divine consciousness to scan it up and down several times, then nodded in satisfaction to the land and mountain gods: "This king is very satisfied, you can withdraw."

  Lei Hao finished speaking and ignored them, slowly opening his steps, operating the shrinking earth to inches of divine power, disappearing into the forest after a few ups and downs.

  After Lei Hao left, the land and mountain spirits were all paralyzed on the mountaintop. The pressure from the Thunder Demon King was too great, even though he hadn't made a move, they were almost scared to death... truly, his name was enough to lose their souls...

  The land glared fiercely at the mountain god, but still didn't dare to scold him, because he didn't dare confirm whether the Thunder Demon King's divine consciousness was still lingering on the mountaintop. He could only secretly plot and plan how to deal with the mountain god after returning. Just as the mountain god's face had regained a bit of its human color, it immediately turned deathly pale again...

  A purple light flashed in front of the Water Cave's entrance, and Lei Hao suddenly appeared before the entrance.

  "See the Great King." The two Leiwen soldiers on duty at the gate, holding sharp steel spears in their hands, knelt down on one knee and looked up at Leihao with a fanatical expression.

  Lei Hao and Yan Yuese patted the shoulders of the two little monsters and stepped into the Water Cavern.

  "Husband, I don't know why, but the spiritual energy in the cave has suddenly become extremely dense..." Wu Lei hurriedly came forward, her face somewhat panicked as she spoke to Lei Hao.

  Lei Hao made a reassuring gesture to Wu Lei, interrupting his words, "It's nothing, I had the land pull all the spiritual veins within several thousand miles to Kan Yuan Mountain, so the spiritual energy in the cave suddenly became so dense."

  Wu Lei heard this and said with some worry to Lei Hao: "Husband, is it really okay to do things this way?"

  Lei Hao waved his hand indifferently and said, "It's nothing, Wu Lei. Don't think too much about it."

  Seeing Leihao being nonchalant, without tears it's hard to say anything more, can only suppress the worries in her heart.

  …………

  On this day, an old man with a white beard and hair, wearing a white robe embroidered with golden stars and holding a dustpan, came down from the foot of the Mountain of Flowers and Fruits. Seeing the small monsters running wildly all over the mountain, he was not afraid at all. He took a light step, and his stride covered dozens of yards.

  The little demon on duty at the top of Huaguo Mountain saw the approaching figure, waved his long spear and shouted loudly: "That old man in front, is he a mountain monster? How dare you rush up the mountain without reporting, do you know what kind of place this is?"

  The old man stroked his neatly combed long beard and said with a smile: "I am the heavenly envoy, I have an imperial decree here, please inform your great king to come quickly!"

  Two little monsters stared at each other in dismay, and then one of them grabbed a long spear and turned around to run into the Mountain of Flowers and Fruits.

  "Your Majesty, there is an old man outside, carrying a horned document, saying he is a heavenly envoy sent by the heavens, with a sacred decree inviting you to come." The little demons of Mount Huaguo relayed the message layer by layer, and soon it was transmitted into the great hall of Water Curtain Cave.

  Inside the hall, Sun Wukong, dressed in a green robe, was drinking wine with some annoyance. Upon hearing this, he heavily threw the bronze wine jug onto the stone table and waved his hand impatiently, saying: "Don't see, don't see, can't you see that I'm drinking? Tell him to scram."

  "Alright." The little demon heard this and lowered its head, preparing to scurry out of the great hall.

  "Halt." Sun Wukong suddenly stopped the little demon again.

  Sun Wukong suddenly thought to himself, "The Bull Demon King's cultivation has improved so quickly that even I, the old Monkey King, can no longer defeat him. Just as I was thinking of going to the Old Turtle Spirit again to search for some treasures to improve my own cultivation, this Laborer Heaven sent someone right to my doorstep. The treasures from heaven are probably more numerous than those from the Old Turtle Spirit anyway. Whatever, I'll just follow him and see what happens."

  After thinking clearly, Sun Wukong said loudly: "I have been thinking about going to heaven for the past two days, and now a heavenly envoy has come to invite me. Hurry up and invite him in!"

  Soon, the little demon led the old man in white into the Water Curtain Cave. Sun Wukong waved his sleeve and his blue robe disappeared, replaced by a golden crown, golden armor, and cloud shoes. Suddenly, the hall was filled with glittering gold light, revealing the majestic demeanor of the Demon King.

  That old man saw a colorful Monkey King from afar, and with a wave of his dust-sweeping broom said: "I am the Western White Gold Star, by order of the Jade Emperor's sacred decree, I have come to invite you to ascend to heaven and receive the Register of Immortals." It turned out that this old man was none other than the kindly old Taibai Jinxing, famous in Heaven for his harmonious nature.

  Perhaps it was Lei Hao who was here, and he would never let Sun Wukong see this Tai Bai Jin Xing! But now Lei Hao is not here...

  Sun Wukong bowed his hands and said, "Many thanks for the old star's arrival." After finishing speaking, he turned around and instructed the little demons under him: "Little ones! Arrange a banquet to entertain our guests."

  Tai Bai Jin Xing hastily waved his hand and said, "The imperial edict is on my person, I dare not stay long; please let the great king go with me, after the promotion, we can slowly talk again."

  Sun Wukong laughed and said: "Since the old star is in such a hurry, let's just forget it. However, I still have to entrust Little Ones to take care of my family business before following the old star to heaven."

  After finishing speaking, he summoned the four strong men and instructed them: "Teach your children carefully, wait for me to go up to heaven to take a look at the road, it's also good to bring you all along to live together."

  Sun Wukong finished speaking and was about to leave the Water Curtain Cave with Taibai Jinxing, but Ma Yuan, one of the Four Heavenly Kings, hesitated and said: "Your Majesty, this is a matter of great importance in Heaven. Don't you think you should inform the Two Great Kings?"

  Sun Wukong hesitated for a moment, thinking to himself: "If I let that Cow Head know that old Sun had to go to heaven to find treasure because he couldn't beat him, wouldn't he die laughing? No way, won't tell him."

  After thinking for a moment, Sun Wukong said to Marshal Ma: "I will inform the two great kings. After I ascend to heaven, the two great kings will replace me in guarding the Mountain of Flowers and Fruits. If anything unexpected happens, you can go find the two great kings."

  After finishing speaking, Sun Wukong impatiently left the Water Curtain Cave with Taibai Jinxing, who led the way. The two flew straight to the Heavenly Palace.

  At this time, Lei Hao was training troops on the campus of Shuixia Cave.

  "You are the elite under my command. What is an elite? It's a strong army that can be swift as wind, gentle as forest, fierce as fire and immovable as mountain! From now on, you will take full responsibility for guarding our own house, so remember not to slack off." Lei Hao shouted loudly from the commanding platform.

  Two thousand Leiwen soldiers on the field wore heavy armor made of refined iron, holding war knives mixed with meteoric iron that had been tempered a hundred times. The two thousand demon soldiers emitted a bloodthirsty aura like a piece of iron plate. At this time, all the Leiwen soldiers looked up at Leihao with crazy enthusiasm on their faces.

  Lei Hao's eyes slowly swept over the Lei Zong army on the school grounds, his heart extremely satisfied. After so many years of hard work, the Lei Zong army had finally become a steel army, an iron army. Even when facing forces several times stronger than themselves, as long as Lei Hao gave the order, they would dare to fight recklessly and kill without hesitation. And even if the entire army was wiped out, it would not be defeated. As far as Lei Hao could see, even the demon army of Ji Lei Mountain might be stronger than the Lei Zong army, but if they were to engage in battle, the Lei Zong army would definitely emerge victorious.

  A moment later, Lei Hao's large hand opened, and from the Kanyuanshan mountain, he took a piece of cyan stone tens of meters high. With a loud "rumble", it heavily smashed onto the top of Dianjiangtai. Then, Lei Hao's large hand drew several strokes in the air, without seeing any light flashing by, but the cyan stone was cut into a square and flat stone monument. Finally, Lei Hao fiercely swung out his fist, not shattering the cyan stone, but leaving a row of words on it.

  "This is the Divine Demon Decree, cultivated to the inner elixir realm. You must all work hard and strive to break through to the inner elixir realm as soon as possible." Lei Hao pointed at the stone tablet and said loudly, but the Lei Zong army remained motionless like a mountain, yet Lei Hao clearly saw that the eyes of all the little demons had become much more fervent.

  "Training begins." Lei Hao said loudly.

  "Alright." Two thousand Lei Zong soldiers simultaneously let out a loud cheer and then quickly dispersed in an orderly manner, their footsteps quiet and without any disorder.

  "The first style, Blood Battle Eight Directions..." Along with the uniform shout, the sky was filled with sword lights that brought up a shocking killing aura.

  Lei Hao stood firmly on the stage, focusing his attention, when suddenly a small demon from Kanyu Mountain rushed to his side.

  "The Great King, the brother from Mount Huaguo has arrived and wishes to see you."

  Lei Hao nodded slightly and said, "Bring him in."

  After a while, a powerful ape with arms that reached its knees walked into the school field. Lei Hao took one look and found that the newcomer was actually Ma Yuan Shuai, one of the Four Strongmen of Mount Huaguo, which made him feel somewhat puzzled. Although Ma Yuan Shuai's cultivation wasn't high, he had reached the peak of the Inner Dan realm and was second only to Sun Wukong and his demonic followers in the hierarchy of the Mount Huaguo Demon Kingdom. Even those small demon kings at the Earth Immortal realm were under his command, so even if there was something important, it shouldn't be him who came personally.

  Lei Hao took a big step forward, and his figure directly appeared in front of General Ma. "Old Ma, what's going on? Why did you come here yourself?" Lei Hao asked with a smile. Sun Wukong was familiar with the Water Cavern Cave, and Lei Hao was equally familiar with the Water Curtain Cave. He knew all the leaders of the Water Curtain Cave.

  "Old Horse has met the Second Grand Duke, and today the Grand Duke has gone out again. Before leaving, he instructed Old Horse to ask the Second Grand Duke to go to Huaguo Mountain to preside." Marshal Ma knelt on one knee, saluted Lei Hao with a bow, and said respectfully.

  Lei Haoqi said: "When did that monkey stay in the Water Curtain Cave? Why does he need to invite me this time?"

  Marshal Ma said, "This time is different from the outside. The Great King was taken to Heaven by a heavenly envoy named Taibai Jinxian today. I don't know when he will return. Before leaving, he instructed Old Ma to ask the two great kings to preside over Mount Huaguo."

  Lei Hao's heart suddenly beat faster after hearing this, and he thought deeply for half a stick of incense before saying: "I already know about it, I will go to Huaguo Mountain in a few days. Old Ma, you can return first."
