Great Emperor Ziwei laughed, "Since that’s the case, I’ve issued the decree. Having such a connection with Lord Taiyin is also a good thing, as it will make the relationship between the Heavenly Court and Lord Taiyin even tighter."
Lord Taiyin was very low-key, but Great Emperor Ziwei knew that she was a true powerhouse.
By the end of Eastern Emperor Taiyi’s reign over the Three Realms, she had already been a top Heavenly Venerate.
Over the years, even if Lord Taiyin’s strength hadn’t increased much, she was currently likely not weaker than the Four Heavenly Kings and might even be stronger.
As for the usual state of a Heavenly Venerate’s powers, that was merely a facade presented by Lord Taiyin.
Her strength was not as great as the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow, but she was ultimately the daughter of the Ancient Heavenly Emperor Jun, so naturally, she was not weak.
Becoming a top Heavenly Venerate wasn’t something out of the ordinary.
"Old Sun will go and have a word with that fool Tianpeng. It’s best to let Elder Taibai handle the declaration of decree, I trust him with this," Old Sun laughed.
Wukong thought for a while and still appointed Gold Star Taibai to handle the matter.
In the entire Heavenly Court, in terms of handling affairs, the one he trusted the most was still Gold Star Taibai.
"Taibai might not be able to go,"
Great Emperor Ziwei shook his head.
Wukong was somewhat surprised.
Gold Star Taibai handling such a matter should have been the most fitting choice.
Now Great Emperor Ziwei was saying that Gold Star Taibai couldn’t go, which puzzled Sun Wukong.
"Taibai has entered closed-door cultivation, he has had some insights and is about to become a Heavenly Venerate,"
Great Emperor Ziwei said with a smile.
However, Wukong couldn’t help but stiffen his expression, taking a deep breath.
Another one was about to breakthrough.
Gold Star Taibai had been at the Celestial Immortal realm for countless ages already.
And now he was about to breakthrough.
Yet, Wukong could not feel happy at all.
If he said there wasn’t a hand secretly arranging all this, he would not believe it.
This was no coincidence, absolutely not a coincidence.
Seeing the odd expression on Wukong’s face, Great Emperor Ziwei asked in wonder.
Given the relationship between Wukong and Gold Star Taibai, Wukong should be happy about Taibai’s breakthrough.
His current expression was very problematic.
Wukong took a deep breath and said with a smile, "Nothing, I just feel surprised. Such an old Celestial Immortal like Taibai is also able to breakthrough, so I’m a bit amazed."
Hearing Wukong’s words, Great Emperor Ziwei nodded, "I find it strange too. In recent years, quite a few people have made breakthroughs. Just in our Heavenly Court alone, over a dozen Celestial Immortals have become Heavenly Venerates, and two Heavenly Venerates have stepped into the realm of Great Heavenly Venerate. There are countless more in the Three Realms who have broken through. It really surprised me."
Wukong looked at Ziwei for a moment, but eventually didn’t voice his speculations.
After all, he was merely speculating and wasn’t certain. Speaking out now would only bring trouble for himself.
Wukong and Lu Dongbin exchanged glances, both seeing the gravity in each other’s eyes.
"Now that matters are settled, I’ll go to Tianpeng’s residence and tell him about this. You can arrange the rest, and get them married as soon as possible,"
Wukong said, then turned and left.
Great Emperor Ziwei also contemplated; Tianpeng’s wedding needed to be grandly celebrated.
Mainly, he also wanted to use the opportunity of Tianpeng’s wedding to let the Three Realms recognize the majesty of the Heavenly Court.
Therefore, Tianpeng’s wedding had to be conducted in a grand manner; naturally, it could not be low-key.
Firstly, to showcase the power of the Heavenly Court, and secondly, to pay respect to the Elder Lord through Tianpeng.
Of course, all these were not for Wukong to see.
Between him and Wukong, there was no need for such pretense.
The stronghold of Marshal Tianpeng had become even more imposing.
Tianpeng was originally applauding his beloved wife.
But upon hearing that Wukong had arrived, he immediately put on his clothes and hurried out.
"Brother, I’ve missed you so much."
Upon seeing Wukong, he hugged him immediately.
However, Wukong pushed Tianpeng away,
He frowned and said, "You smell".
Tianpeng was slightly startled, then somewhat embarrassed.
He activated his mana to dispel some inappropriate smells from his body.
"Bring in the best wine and dishes, my brother has come. Let’s have a good drink today,"
Marshal Tianpeng said excitedly.
Although Wukong also came to the Heavenly Palace, his visits to Marshal Tianpeng’s mansion were very rare.
Following behind Wukong, Lu Dongbin said somewhat helplessly, "Marshal, can’t you see me?"
Only then did Marshal Tianpeng notice someone behind Wukong.
He was slightly startled, then laughed, "Oh, it’s True Man of Pure Yang! How are you here? You didn’t even say a word, I almost didn’t notice you."
Lu Dongbin felt like he wanted to vomit blood.
He, a very alive and well person, had walked in alongside Wukong,
Yet, Tianpeng had only noticed Wukong.
Was he really that insignificant?
Lu Dongbin was plunged into severe self-doubt.
Wukong, ignoring the dejected Dongbin, said to Tianpeng, "Tianpeng, I’ve come to you this time solely to tell you about one thing."
"Please tell, Brother."
Tianpeng was quite polite.
Wukong smiled and said, "I’ve discussed with Lord Taiyin to marry Nishang Fairy to you. Now, I’ve already asked Great Emperor Ziwei to issue a decree for your marriage. You better start preparing."
This was the sound of a teacup hitting the floor.
Wukong turned around to see a flush-faced Gao Cuilan walking from the side. Hearing Wukong’s words, she had dropped both the tray and the teacup on the ground.
Luckily, the teacup was an immortal artifact and did not break.
