85: Chapter 85 Taibai Jinxing: Inviting the Monkey King to Heaven for an Official Position 85: Chapter 85 Taibai Jinxing: Inviting the Monkey King to Heaven for an Official Position As Taibai Jinxing waved his hand, a vast and mysterious formation appeared in front of him in an instant.
This formation emitted a faint halo.
The entire formation was grand, enveloping an area of several hundred miles.
It covered everything, both above and below the ground, including the underground.
With just one glance, Taibai Jinxing could see hundreds of interconnected formations coalescing within this great formation.
“It is truly as the Dragon King of the Eastern Seas said, this macaque actually set up such a powerful formation.”
Seeing this, Taibai Jinxing involuntarily trembled his beard.
As the saying goes, seeing is believing.
At this moment, he truly felt that Sun Wukong might have been too cautious.
Although demon kings usually have formations, they would never have such powerful ones.
Taibai Jinxing cleared his throat, as his purpose for coming here was to invite Sun Wukong to ascend to Heaven and take office, not to confront him.
He then shouted loudly, “I am Taibai Jinxing, by the decree of the Jade Emperor, I invite the Monkey King of Mount Huaguo, Sun Wukong, to ascend to Heaven and take office, please come out and meet me!”
The voice resonated clearly and powerfully outward.
Like the evening drums and morning bells, the voice shook the heavens and the earth.
Moreover, since this voice was also imbued with Taibai Jinxing’s mana, he believed it would surely reach Sun Wukong’s ears, even from within the formation.
Besides some croaking sounds, there were no significant responses.
Taibai Jinxing almost thought he was speaking to the air.
“I, Taibai Jinxing, by the decree of the Jade Emperor, invite the Monkey King of Mount Huaguo, Sun Wukong, to ascend to Heaven and take office, please come out and meet me!”
Taibai Jinxing shouted again, but still, there was no response.
If it were not for the formation still shimmering with light, Taibai Jinxing would have thought there was no one here.
As the breeze passed this time, the voices in the mountain forests completely ceased.
He was left with just the breeze and himself.
Having been a Star Lord for so many years, he had never seen such a scene.
“Well, never mind, a mere small formation, it’s not too late to break it and meet Sun Wukong!”
Taibai Jinxing fell silent for a while before making such a decision.
Had it not been for the lack of any response from Sun Wukong, he wouldn’t have made such a decision.
He then stepped into the formation.
Time flowed like water, and in the blink of an eye, several months had passed.
what kind of formation is this…”
There are ways to break a formation, and there should also be a direct path out of the formation.
At first, Taibai Jinxing was full of confidence as he easily entered the formation.
However, as he walked, Taibai Jinxing felt something was amiss.
The formations somehow made him end up back where he started, and when he tried to walk back, he couldn’t get out!
At this moment, Taibai Jinxing’s gaze was blank and his Daoist Robe became somewhat disheveled.
He no longer knew how much time had passed, feeling as if he could never find his way out, perhaps not in this lifetime.
To say nothing of his stride, not even a small Mount Huaguo could contain him, let alone walking back and forth on the Journey to the West.
Moreover, as a Daoist Cultivator from Ancient Times, having spent long years, he had some achievements in formations.
There were many Killing Formations in the celestial Court, but he could break them easily.
Because of this, he trusted his own abilities in dealing with formations, naturally taking little concern for the formation Sun Wukong had set up on Mount Huaguo.
He had never imagined that a formation could be so complex.
“Could it be that on Mount Huaguo, some eminent person specifically arranged this formation?”
“Could it be Patriarch Bodhi?”
After so long without finding a way out of this formation, he began to doubt that it was arranged by Sun Wukong.
A monkey that had only lived for a few years, how could he possess such profound skill in formations?
However, by now he was somewhat confused, and all he wanted was to leave this place, his intent of finding Sun Wukong had already been shoved to the back of his mind.
Countless formation details emerged in his mind.
The formations were interconnected, and over this period, he had traveled through countless passageways, yet he typically ended up back where he started.
If he remained here, he had no idea how long he might be trapped, so he could only keep moving forward.
This time, he walked onto a path he had not taken before.
Trees and bushes appeared before him.
In a formation, this situation was not unusual, but this illusion array seemed to lack the mist common to other formations.
Nevertheless, he remained extremely cautious and alert, fearing any potential danger.
Even in this formation, there had been situations that even he found difficult to withstand.
And on the trees ahead, he found a tuft of monkey fur.
“Monkey fur, does this mean I am nearing Sun Wukong’s location?”
Taibai Jinxing, thinking this, couldn’t help but feel excited.
After all, he had not seen any trace of monkeys all along the way, and now the formation was so powerful.
This might indicate that he was about to escape this formation.
At that moment, Taibai Jinxing felt a glimmer of hope and chose to keep moving forward.
Indeed, after finding a tuft of monkey fur, he found even more monkey fur.
The surrounding scenery was filled with spiritual energy.
And there were also signs of frolicking around.
This made Taibai Jinxing, who had not discovered any monkeys thus far, even more delighted, and hurriedly continued forward.
After a short distance ahead, Taibai Jinxing also saw some bananas in the bushes.
“It seems I was correct about this path, I can finally get out!”
At this moment, Taibai Jinxing could confirm that he was finally about to get out.
Following the spots where monkeys had played, he saw even more signs of monkeys, and their frequency was increasing.
He even believed that this was a unique method of communication used by these monkeys.
The monkeys left some of their fur to guide their companions, and even intruders like him would hardly notice it easily.
If he hadn’t been trapped for so long, he probably would have found it difficult to notice these subtle clues.
While he was searching for the next place with monkey fur and corners,
he took a step forward, and the scenery around him suddenly changed, an array of ancient trees appeared before him.
The ground was covered with scattered leaves, and there were some low tables made from tree stumps, which bore some melons and fruits from Mount Huaguo.
Next to them was a spiritual spring.
Nearby, a blue flower bloomed.
Like an offering to a spirit in the deep night.
It seemed like an Other Shore Flower, but upon closer inspection, it was different.
Taibai Jinxing took a gentle sniff, and a fragrant aroma wafted towards him, even with his cultivation level and experience, he had never seen such a flower.
“I, Taibai Jinxing, under the command of the Jade Emperor, request the Monkey King of Mount Huaguo, Sun Wukong, to ascend to the celestial Court to take office, please come out!”
Taibai Jinxing, not forgetting his mission, quickly called out loudly.
