The Heavenly Court.
Lin Qi and Yuyao roamed freely within the sea of clouds and rosy radiance.
Unlike last time, when he had ordered Yuyao to the Jade Pool to prepare a banquet for honored guests.
This time.
He had made no preparations at all.
Even when he received the report that Tathagata, the Buddha Ancestor of the West, had come seeking an audience.
He merely waved his hand faintly.
He wanted to drag Yuyao to the Imperial Horse Bureau, to see where that future Bimawen would conduct his office.
Come to think of it.
His impression of the monkey serving as an official in the Peach Garden in Journey to the West was not all that deep.
He only remembered the scene of the monkey freezing the Seven Fairy Maidens and running off to pick peaches to eat.
It was instead when the monkey was Bimawen.
Releasing horses and riding the wind across the Heavenly Palace's sea of clouds — that carefree joy was still vivid in his memory.
Upon arriving at the Imperial Horse Bureau.
Lin Qi ordered all the heavenly horses released.
Then, just like that, he led Yuyao riding through the sea of clouds, galloping at full speed, chasing the light and pursuing the moon.
It was only when Tathagata, having long been denied an audience with Lin Qi, came with a dark face to intercept them where the rosy radiance flickered.
That Lin Qi, still mounted atop the heavenly horse, raised his whip and laughed heartily.
"You old Tathagata."
"You dare be so bold as to block This Venerable's imperial procession."
"Do you know what crime that is?"
"Amitabha."
Tathagata pressed his palms together.
"Your Majesty has perhaps forgotten that I am the master of Spirit Mountain in the West. Your Heavenly Court's heavenly laws and celestial statutes cannot govern the affairs of my Spirit Mountain."
Tathagata's face bore a smile, but between his brows and eyes was a stretch of cold severity.
"Oh, is that so?"
Lin Qi heard the implication, which was nothing more than that Tathagata still refused to submit.
But it didn't matter.
Lin Qi was not about to indulge him either. With a half-smile, he pointed his whip at Tathagata. "Then what if This Venerable insists on governing it?"
"Your Majesty."
"This old monk has heard that Your Majesty's position as Jade Emperor was attained only after passing through one thousand seven hundred and fifty kalpas, each kalpa lasting one hundred twenty-nine thousand six hundred years."
"Only then were you able to achieve it."
"Now you are the Profound Vault High Emperor, undying and indestructible, ruling the Three Realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man."
"Surely you must know the numbers of heaven, discern fortune from misfortune, and understand calamity and blessing."
"Why then, knowing full well that a Tribulation of Measure is approaching, must you insist on walking a path through these kalpas?"
Tathagata spoke, his gaze fierce.
"What a fine Tribulation of Measure."
"But since you know This Venerable is the undying and indestructible Profound Vault High Emperor, ruler of the Three Realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man."
"Then you should know."
"If This Venerable does not nod, this Tribulation of Measure cannot begin."
Lin Qi's tone was indifferent. He had grown tired of bandying words with Tathagata.
"Enough."
"Tathagata, do not yip and yowl at This Venerable here."
