Journey to the West: Man in heaven, working nine to five

#907 - The future of Jiejiao, the knot of the Holy Mother Wu Dang

Soon, Chu Hao found the Holy Mother of Wudang at the summit of Kunlun Mountain, where she was burning incense and brewing tea.

The Holy Mother of Wudang sat there alone, as lonely as a fallen leaf amidst a riot of colors.

Although the Holy Mother of Wudang's face did not age and she remained beautiful, she possessed a unique sense of time.

As the guardian of the Jie Sect, who had been lonely for countless eons, she seemed to have suffered a significant blow, exuding an aura of melancholy and sorrow.

It wasn't until Chu Hao arrived that the Holy Mother of Wudang put aside her heavy thoughts and reverted to her usual dignified demeanor, resembling the eldest sister in control of everything.

"Junior Brother, you've come. Sit down and have tea with me."

The Holy Mother of Wudang handed a cup of tea to Chu Hao.

Chu Hao nodded,

"I saw Senior Sister sitting here alone just now, looking melancholic and sorrowful. I wonder what you were thinking about. Perhaps you could share it with me, and I can help alleviate your worries."

The Holy Mother of Wudang covered her face with her sleeve, took a sip of tea, and suddenly sighed,

"I met with the Master, and he also told me his plans, as well as your attitude."

"Now, I only feel that I have guarded for tens of thousands of years, and in the end, I have gained nothing. Senior Sister is just a little lonely."

Chu Hao raised an eyebrow. From the looks of it, the Tongtian Sect Leader had already told the Holy Mother of Wudang about his intention to no longer revive the Jie Sect.

In fact, this idea was not only Chu Hao's plan, but the Tongtian Sect Leader originally had this intention as well.

Before, when the Law Enforcement Hall's opening ceremony ended, Chu Hao had a heart-to-heart talk with the Tongtian Sect Leader over wine.

When Chu Hao clearly told the Tongtian Sect Leader that he could not help him go against the heavens and revive the Jie Sect, the Tongtian Sect Leader was not surprised at all.

In fact, Chu Hao remembered very clearly that the Tongtian Sect Leader sighed at the time and said frankly that he had never thought of doing so.

The general trend is irreversible, and the Tongtian Sect Leader is well aware of this.

However, not all saints are the same.

The Yuanshi Tianzun knew that the general trend was irreversible. After the Investiture of the Gods war, under the decree of Dao Ancestor Hongjun, he led his disciples to leave the Three Realms and Six Paths and develop outside the heavens, regardless of anything within the Three Realms and Six Paths.

The Taiqing Saint has always stayed out of things, leaving a clone, the Supreme Lord Lao Tzu, to remain pure and inactive, only slightly helping with the Journey to the West.

However, the Tongtian Sect Leader was unwilling to give up just like that.

Although the Jie Sect had declined, so many disciples of the Jie Sect were still suffering within the Three Realms and Six Paths. How could the Tongtian Sect Leader be willing to let go and ignore them!

Therefore, the reason why the Tongtian Sect Leader approached Chu Hao back then was because he knew that Chu Hao's anomaly was enough to stir up the heavenly secrets, and he wanted the Jie Sect to be under Chu Hao's protection.

At least, he wanted Chu Hao to be able to rescue more of those Jie Sect disciples who were suppressed and bullied.

And the facts have also proved that the Tongtian Sect Leader did not misjudge the person.

The Three Xiao Fairies, the Holy Mother of Wudang, the Three Demon Immortals, Ma Sui… the loyal were protected, and the betrayers were slaughtered.

Chu Hao did not revive the Jie Sect, nor did he change its fate against the heavens and restore it.

However, Chu Hao did what the Tongtian Sect Leader hoped for, which was to protect the disciples of the Jie Sect.

Therefore, when the Law Enforcement Hall opened, the Tongtian Sect Leader was extremely indulgent towards Chu Hao, and even willingly acted as a tool for Chu Hao.

It wasn't because he was stupid, the Tongtian Sect Leader was just grateful to Chu Hao.

The Tongtian Sect Leader had long known that the general trend was irreversible, but he still had concerns about the Jie Sect disciples in his heart.

He should be the most human-like among the saints.

This is probably one of the reasons why the Tongtian Sect Leader lost in the Investiture of the Gods war.

However, the Tongtian Sect Leader's plan also made the Holy Mother of Wudang sigh for a long time after returning.

She had actually been avoiding this question, which had long been answered.

The Jie Sect's general trend is gone, and it is impossible to revive it.

The Holy Mother of Wudang sighed, her face full of bitterness,

"Junior Brother, I also understand that your and the Master's ideas are right, I just can't let go… alas…"

The Holy Mother of Wudang's long sigh contained the melancholy of eternity.

She was one of the earliest disciples to follow the Tongtian Sect Leader, and she had witnessed the greatness of the Jie Sect when ten thousand immortals came to pay tribute.

But in the end, she could not defeat the general trend.

She hated that she was the only one who escaped that year. If she had died in that battle, after thousands of years, reincarnation would no longer have been so stressful.

But she was one of the few of the four major disciples who escaped, and she felt that she was carrying the heavy responsibility of reviving the Jie Sect!

Therefore, she had been living in that Penglai Immortal Island, guarding that empty island for tens of thousands of years.

She had lived to this day bearing a heavy responsibility, and all she had in mind was that she was the last hope of the Jie Sect and must revive the Jie Sect…

But now, she was told that even the Master did not want to revive the Jie Sect.

The Holy Mother of Wudang had guarded for tens of thousands of years, and in the end, she had misplaced the past time on Penglai.

But in her heart, she also breathed a deep sigh of relief.

The Holy Mother of Wudang's face was full of emotion,

"Junior Brother, I just feel like my heart is empty, as if I have lost something."

Chu Hao stared at the Holy Mother of Wudang and said seriously,

"Senior Sister, you have misunderstood the Master's intention. We are not reviving the Jie Sect, but we have never lost it."

"The Jie Sect is our home, and warmth depends on everyone. Today, there are still many Jie Sect disciples living under the control of the Western Heaven, in deep water and scorching fire,"

"Not reviving the Jie Sect does not mean that we have to abandon them!"

"On the contrary, we should take them back and protect them. This is what we are doing now!"

"As long as we are here, the Jie Sect will not be destroyed!"

"We will also repay the hatred suffered by the Jie Sect disciples tenfold or a hundredfold!"

Chu Hao's eyes were full of domineering colors.

The Holy Mother of Wudang's heart was pierced by Chu Hao's powerful and fiery eyes, and in an instant, the empty feeling in her heart seemed to give rise to new flowers of hope.

There was a gleam of light in her eyes, no longer as heavy and worried as before,

"We, can we really do it?"

"Let everyone in the Jie Sect come back, and let those who have hurt us pay the price, can we really do it?"

Chu Hao grinned,

"Don't look at the advertising, look at the effect, Senior Sister. You, Ma Sui, Golden Light Immortal, and others… there will be more Jie Sect fellow disciples coming back in the future!"

"Everyone in the Jie Sect has always been here. We can't be here complaining about ourselves. Empty talk will only ruin the country, and hard work can make the country prosperous!"

"Also, Senior Sister, look at what this is?"

Chu Hao took out a hammer,

It was the Mixed Yuan Hammer that made Wuyun Xian become a Buddha!

"This is, Wuyun Xian's magic weapon, how do you have it?"

The Holy Mother of Wudang's eyes instantly became moist when she saw the Mixed Yuan Hammer.

Back then, Wuyun Xian was the head of the Seven Immortals who attended, and he devoted himself to the Jie Sect!

Chu Hao smiled slightly,

"Wuyun Xian is now locked in the Pool of Merit, but soon, in a few years, I will rescue him."
