The Tathāgata Must Fail

Chapter 432: Qing Yuanzi's Love Story (Part 1)


Afterwards, Sun Wukong no longer paid attention to the matters of the Asura Realm.

The Three Realms had just been settled, and the tasks were as numerous as the hairs.

Unlike the peace of Huaguo Mountain, reforms everywhere could be described as tumultuous waves.

Sun Wukong used the threat of the Asura Realm as a catalyst, making bold moves to further accelerate the pace of reform.

He dealt with those hindering the reforms bluntly, using methods that were not peaceful, and despite the experienced management team of Wanling Country, conflicts still erupted in various places.

After the great war ended, Emperor Qinghua was originally busy healing the wounds of war.

However, after witnessing Sun Wukong's bold reforms, he started to worry.

"Your Majesty."

Emperor Qinghua found Sun Wukong: "Isn't this too rushed?"

"No."

Sun Wukong responded, "Pain is inevitable."

He hoped to complete the reforms in a shorter period.

Sun Wukong often observed the situation in the Four Great Continents, and generally, the reforms made most people spirited and caused conflicts with a small portion, but as long as it didn't harm the general situation, it wasn't a problem.

Days passed, and the Three Realms gradually underwent a transformative change.

After the reconstruction of Wanling Country, Sun Wukong moved his workplace there.

It was closest to Lingshan. After Buddha left, the Buddhists once again repaired Lingshan.

Sun Wukong often took Golden Cicada to visit Lingshan, teaching the Wanling Heavenly Dao to the Buddhists, seeking a coexistence with the Buddhist sect.

Because of the fall of Buddha, this originally simple task became rather complicated.

Meanwhile, some interesting news would occasionally come from Huaguo Mountain.

For example, one could hear every three days that Qing Yuanzi was beaten up again.

After becoming an Immortal, instead of becoming safer, due to his increased status, other Immortals no longer held back for being bullies, and were more inclined to settle accounts with him.

Qing Yuanzi's character itself was incurable, causing troubles that became more expertly crafted, with endless disputes around him.

Fortunately, there was an Independent Immortal by his side that allowed him to survive till now.

"Who is that Independent Immortal?"

One day, when Daji came to Wanling City, Sun Wukong looked at her for a long time and suddenly asked.

Daji, who was drinking tea, almost spat it out and coughed a few times hurriedly: "Great King, why do you suddenly ask this?"

"I heard that you know her."

Sun Wukong's words made Daji even more nervous: "Where did the Great King hear that?"

"Lady Earth Flow told me."

Sun Wukong seemed to mention it casually: "She said you befriended a bad woman who causes explosions in Yunxiao City every two to three days, and asked me to advise you."

"That bastard!"

Daji inwardly gritted her teeth but smiled and said, "Great King need not worry, she is just quick-tempered, not a bad woman."

Sun Wukong smiled slightly: "That's good."

He then started teaching Daji, who was there to learn about Heavenly Dao.

In learning Wanling Heavenly Dao, Daji advanced farther than many, with just the power of Heavenly Dao enough to let her contend against ordinary Heavenly Immortals.

Besides her, Sun Wukong also taught Heavenly Dao to many others.

Wanling Heavenly Dao had been recognized by the rules of the Three Realms, but its development had just started, possessing infinite possibilities.

It was a kind of infrastructure.

From The Three Pure Ones to ordinary humans, everyone was learning the Heavenly Dao.

There weren't many who could be personally taught by Sun Wukong; Lady Earth Flow was one of them.

She worked for Ao Luan in Yunxiao City and seemed to have discovered something recently, always hesitating to speak in front of Sun Wukong.

This situation persisted for a long time.

After the new year arrived, Lady Earth Flow's attitude changed.

One day, she told Sun Wukong that the Independent Immortal by Qing Yuanzi's side had become the Defense Officer in Yunxiao City.

"Oh?"

Sun Wukong was surprised: "Why did she become a Defense Officer?"

"Perhaps she has seen her past mistakes..."

Lady Earth Flow's eyes twinkled for a moment, then she tentatively asked: "Heavenly Emperor, are the Asura Clan really our enemies?"

"Yes."

Sun Wukong responded without hesitation.

Upon hearing the provocation from the Asura King, the Immortals deemed the Asura Realm as an enemy, and now, the entire Three Realms shared this sentiment.

"The Asura Clan has already challenged the Three Realms; a battle with them is inevitable sooner or later."

Sun Wukong said, pausing briefly before adding,

"But I believe not all Asuras are necessarily bad."

Lady Earth Flow, hearing this, instantly knew her answer and joyfully left.

"This must be friendship."

Sun Wukong thought to himself as he watched her leaving.

Two months later, Sun Wukong felt the time was about right.

He summoned Ao Luan.

"The Three Realms have been reformed for long, and I would like to host a Heavenly Dao martial contest in the East Sea, inviting participants from the Four Great Continents; what do you think?"

Ao Luan's eyes lit up: "A good idea."

She had no reason to refuse such an event that would strengthen the unity of the Three Realms.

"Since it is a contest, there should be rewards..."

Sun Wukong personally arranged the awards.

News of the martial contest in the East Sea stirred up great excitement throughout the Four Great Continents.

Late at night, the Scorpion Demoness sat alone on the rooftop.

"What are you doing?"

A voice from behind asked her, "Did you quarrel with Qing Yuanzi again?"

The Scorpion Demoness turned to look.

It was a rat demon she disliked.

Half a year ago, she had taught the Scorpion Demoness a lesson for plotting against Qing Yuanzi, which brought this rat demon here.

This rat demon was too clever, quickly saw through her disguise, nearly exposed her, but eventually, Daji and the Scorpion Demoness came up with a plan that convinced the rat demon to back off.

Since then, some things had happened, and the Scorpion Demoness and the rat demon no longer viewed each other as enemies.

Even so, they weren't exactly good friends.

"I'm not in the mood to argue with you today."

The Scorpion Demoness ignored Lady Earth Flow.

She turned her head and continued to stare blankly at Yunxiao City.

Lady Earth Flow sat down beside her.

The bustling streets reflected in their eyes, with the flow of people like tides and the neon lights so glaring that both felt a sense of difficulty distinguishing reality from illusion.

"This is not my home."

Not knowing how long she had sat, the Scorpion Demoness suddenly said, "I might not belong here."

"Hmph, indeed."

Lady Earth Flow stood up and threw a flyer to the Scorpion Demoness: "This is for you."

"What is this?"

The Scorpion Demoness asked.

"Heavenly Dao martial contest."

Lady Earth Flow replied, "The winner of the contest can have one request granted by the Great King."

"If you want to stay, go participate in the contest."

The Scorpion Demoness looked at her, "Why help me?"

"This place was not my home either."

Lady Earth Flow rose, saying, "Home is something you create for yourself."

She turned and left.

"Heavenly Emperor..."

The Scorpion Demoness stood up: "Will he grant my request?"

"What do you think the Heavenly Emperor is like?"

Lady Earth Flow, without turning back, waved her hand and said, "He's not your Asura King; when he gives his word, he means it."

The Scorpion Demoness involuntarily clutched the flyer tightly.
