The journey of Emperor Donghua through time

But he never expected that as soon as they stepped out of the Lingxiao Palace, they were swept away from the Heaven by a familiar magical power.

Inside the Water Curtain Cave, Sun Wukong, Yang Jian and Nezha stood in a row, looking at each other, and from time to time glanced towards Fang Zheng and the Emperor Donghua who knew all about chess.

After being brought here from Heaven, they had been left out in the cold. Feeling guilty, the three of them didn't even dare to breathe.

"Master, I was wrong!" Sun Wukong scratched the back of his head, his furry face wrinkled into a ball, and he couldn't help but be the first to admit his mistake.

When Yang Jian and Nezha heard the word "Master", they were stunned. They looked at Sun Wukong, then turned their gaze to the two people who were playing chess, and suddenly a bad premonition arose in their hearts.

"Oh? What's wrong?" Emperor Donghua placed the chess piece in his hand on the chessboard and asked casually without turning his head.

After hearing his response, Yang Jian and Nezha's premonition was completely confirmed. They looked at Sun Wukong with condemning eyes, leaving him confused.

"I shouldn't have been so impulsive as to break into the Heavenly Palace just because of the flattery of Bull Demon King and others, and even dragged two new brothers along with me." Sun Wukong said with a guilty look, not caring about the two of them.

"What else?" Emperor Donghua continued to ask with a calm expression.

"Anything else?" Sun Wukong was stunned for a moment, and tried hard to recall what he had done before, but he couldn't think of any other mistakes, and he scratched his head anxiously.

"Do you think that once you defeat all the monsters around Huaguo Mountain, you will be invincible?" Emperor Donghua glanced at him and said in a leisurely tone.

When Sun Wukong heard this, he thought of the large number of people in Heaven, and the fact that there were several gods whose cultivation was far superior to his. A few drops of cold sweat instantly seeped out of his forehead.

Only then did he realize how arrogant and frivolous he had been recently. If it weren't for the help of Yang Jian and Nezha, he might not have been able to come back alive this time.

Thinking of this, Sun Wukong immediately knelt on the ground with a "dong" sound and said sincerely, "Master is right! I was indeed blinded by victory and forgot that there are always people better than me. I shouldn't have relied on my own cultivation and dragged brothers Yang Jian and Nezha into this adventure. It almost caused a disaster!"

Emperor Donghua glanced at him, then swept his eyes towards Yang Jian and Nezha without saying a word.

"Yang Jian knows he is wrong. Please punish me, Master!" Upon seeing this, Yang Jian knelt beside Sun Wukong without saying a word and spoke earnestly.

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong couldn't help but turn his head to look at him, blinked, and a look of confusion appeared on his face.

Nezha frowned, glanced at Sun Wukong and Yang Jian, then looked up at Emperor Donghua. After hesitating for a moment, he knelt down reluctantly.

Emperor Donghua was almost amused by his expression. He tapped his fingertips on the chessboard and said with a half-smile, "Why, don't you think you're wrong?"

"I was wrong." Nezha stiffened his neck, his tone full of insincere perfunctory attitude.

"Oh! I think you have no idea where you've gone wrong." Emperor Donghua sneered, his expression solemn, and said in a deep voice, "Yang Jian is fine; he had his reasons. But what about you? Don't forget, your parents and two brothers are still serving in the Heavenly Court. If your identity is exposed, do you think they will be implicated by you?"

"My father is not on duty today, and the other gods don't recognize me." Nezha muttered stubbornly, but his voice was half a meter smaller than before, and his eyes looked a little weak.

"Naive." Emperor Donghua glanced at him and said indifferently, "The Heavenly Court is so big. If they really wanted to check your identities, how could they not find them out?"

Nezha was shocked. When he thought about the possibility of implicating Li Jing and Madam Yin, his previous toughness disappeared instantly. His shoulders drooped slightly, his lips trembled, and he didn't know what to say.

"Master, is there any way to save it?" Yang Jian also realized the seriousness of the matter, and there was a hint of urgency in his voice.

Upon hearing this, Nezha couldn't help but look up at Emperor Donghua, with a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

"This time, I have covered up for you two. The Heavenly Court cannot trace you back." Emperor Donghua said slowly.

"Thank you, Master!" Yang Jian secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said with gratitude.

This time it was his negligence. In a moment of impulse, he took Nezha and Sun Wukong to cause trouble in Heaven, and almost implicated their families.

"Thank you, Master." Nezha also straightened his attitude and thanked sincerely.

"This is just the first time, it won't happen again." Emperor Donghua picked up a white piece, dropped it onto the chessboard, and gave a casual warning.

Sun Wukong looked at this and then that, his face a little confused. He scratched his head and asked doubtfully, "Is there something wrong with Nezha's identity? Why are you afraid of the Heavenly Court investigating? Also, do you know my master?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Jian and Nezha looked at him with something they couldn't describe. They had agreed to become sworn brothers after the matter was over, but in the blink of an eye, the other party became their uncle, and was a generation older than them!

"Wukong, instead of worrying about these issues, you might as well think about how to deal with the upcoming attack from Heaven." Tongtian chuckled and reminded.

"Crush?" Sun Wukong paused and asked with some confusion.

"Why do you think the monsters near Huaguo Mountain urged you to break into the Heavenly Palace?" Emperor Donghua asked leisurely.

"Why?" Sun Wukong blurted out subconsciously.

"They can't do anything to you, so they want to use the Heavenly Court to get rid of you." Yang Jian thought for a moment, then understood the key and said with a frown.

"They're plotting against me?!" Sun Wukong's eyes widened as he angrily said, "I'm going to go and settle the score with them right now!"

"There's no rush to settle the accounts. We have to find a way to deal with the attack from Heaven first." Yang Jian hurriedly stopped him and said seriously.

However, he couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. Since Emperor Donghua could conceal the identities of himself and Nezha, why didn't he conceal the identities of Sun Wukong as well?

Emperor Donghua seemed to see through his thoughts and said calmly, "Wukong's situation is special. When he was born, there was too much noise. Golden light shot straight into the heavens, alarming the Jade Emperor. Many gods recognized him."

"So that's it!" Yang Jian suddenly realized.

"Of course, if I really wanted to cover it up, it's not impossible." Emperor Donghua met their puzzled gazes and added nonchalantly, "But if I don't teach him a lesson, I'm afraid he'll never learn his lesson."

"Master is right. I deserve to be taught a lesson for the troubles I have caused." Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong scratched his head and grinned. He was not annoyed, but his expression still showed a bit of indifference.

"Wukong, don't forget that you are not just a monkey, there is a group of monkeys who support you as king." Tongtian reminded.

"I am a monkey and I am responsible for my own actions. What does this have to do with the rest of the monkey group?" Sun Wukong frowned, his tone filled with displeasure.

"Your master was right when he said you were naive." Tongtian shook his head and laughed, saying helplessly.

"What do you mean?" Sun Wukong asked suspiciously.

"You've trampled upon the very reputation of Heaven. How can they redeem themselves if they don't raze Flower-Fruit Mountain to the ground?" Tongtian shook his head, feigning regret. "If I remember correctly, Flower-Fruit Mountain has many other creatures besides the monkeys, right? It's truly pitiful that they have to suffer this unprovoked disaster."

"They dare! I, Sun Wukong, will fight them!" Sun Wukong's pupils suddenly shrank, and the golden cudgel in his hand slammed to the ground with a clang, splashing a few grains of dust.

"What are you afraid of, Monkey? We'll help you! If they dare to come, we'll make sure they never return!" Nezha patted his chest, looking righteous. Then, he looked at Yang Jian and asked slowly, "Yang Jian, don't you agree?"

"Yes! We got into trouble together. There is no reason to let Monkey...Uncle Master bear it alone. We should advance and retreat together." Yang Jian said with a firm look in his eyes and a resounding tone.

"That's right, we have already passed through the Heavenly Palace, so why are we afraid that the heavenly soldiers and generals will come to find us..." Nezha was interrupted by a sneer before he could finish his words.

He looked in the direction of the voice and met the half-smiling gaze of Emperor Donghua.

Sun Wukong and Yang Jian also looked at Emperor Donghua, their faces full of confusion.

"What if it was Li Jing and Madam Yin who led the troops?" Emperor Donghua said slowly, "Are you also planning to make sure they never return?"

During the Conferred God Tribulation, Madam Yin was awarded a good position as a god because of her bravery and fearlessness. She now serves in the army of Heaven.
