Sun Wukong hosted banquets every day in the Virtue Palace to invite various immortals.
Over several days, many Immortal Officials had changed their views of him.
On this day, as dawn broke, Sun Wukong was ready to set out.
"Where is the Great Saint going today?"
The tranquil and serene departments asked.
"I am first visiting the Two Pure Ones, then meeting the Four Emperors."
After saying this, Sun Wukong left riding a cloud.
The tranquil and serene departments looked on in surprise as Sun Wukong departed.
"The Great Saint truly is enthusiastic."
The tranquil department asked, "Do you think he will succeed?"
"Hard to predict."
The serene department shook its head, replying, "The Great Saint is unfathomable; it's beyond our ability to guess."
Sun Wukong, riding the Auspicious Cloud, first visited the Two Pure Ones, and this time their attitude towards him was much better.
After visiting the Two Pure Ones, and only half a day having passed, Sun Wukong then went to the place of everlasting joy in Qinghua, the Mysterious Rock Palace of the Far East.
The Mysterious Rock Palace of the Far East is the palace of Emperor Qinghua, also known as the Savior of Sufferings.
The Savior of Sufferings is one of the Four Emperors, ranked equally with the Jade Emperor; however, since the Jade Emperor is the Co-Lord of the Heavenly Palace, one still needs to address him respectfully as "Your Majesty."
Upon arriving at the Mysterious Rock Palace of the Far East, only an immortal child dressed in a Colorful Cloud Robe stood outside the palace gates.
"Immortal Child."
Sun Wukong bowed and asked: "Is the Savior of Sufferings in?"
"No."
The immortal child, curiously sizing up Sun Wukong, replied: "The Heavenly Venerate has gone to the Northern Continent to save people."
The Savior of Sufferings, also called the Seeker of Voices to Save Sufferings, true to his name, whenever someone sincerely chants his holy name in times of peril, the Heavenly Venerate would go to rescue them.
He enjoys doing charitable deeds and frequently leaves the palace.
It is indeed not easy for a Heavenly Venerate to be so compassionate towards sentient beings and to personally take action.
Sun Wukong could only inform the immortal child that he would come again another day.
Afterwards, Sun Wukong turned and went to Ziwei Palace.
The Heavenly Venerate of the Central Northern Polar Ziwei, considered as the deity assisting the Jade Emperor in managing the heavenly and earthly threads, the sun, moon, stars, and controlling the various stars and Seasons.
He rules over the fate of emperors. When a person is likely to become or already is an Emperor, it is said that his fate is dictated by Ziwei.
Beneath Emperor Ziwei were the Four Holy Ones of the North Pole, among them Minister Tian Peng was one of Emperor Ziwei's subordinates.
At that moment, inside the Ziwei Palace, Emperor Ziwei was hosting the Queen Mother.
They were chatting happily when an immortal child walked in.
"Your Majesty, the Virtue Great Saint wishes to visit."
The immortal child reported.
Emperor Ziwei slightly frowned, "Send him away for me."
"Yes."
The immortal child left.
"Virtue Great Saint?"
The Queen Mother felt the title sounded familiar, "Is it that Monkey King who ascended several days ago?"
Emperor Ziwei nodded.
"I heard he has been inviting everyone for drinks everywhere."
The Queen Mother asked, "What are his intentions?"
"This… I'm not sure."
The Emperor shook his head, then hesitated: "Just that…"
The Queen Mother was curious, "Just what?"
"This Monkey King has a Ziwei fate."
Emperor Ziwei said, "I fear that meeting him might boost his fate, which might not be good for the Heavenly Palace."
The Queen Mother soon felt displeased.
Meanwhile, outside Ziwei Palace, since Sun Wukong could not see the Emperor, he had no choice but to leave.
Just as he turned around, the air was filled with an auspicious aura, and an immortal approached.
"Emperor."
Sun Wukong greeted him.
Emperor Donghua nodded to him, his eyes conveying a question.
"I just tried visiting Emperor Ziwei, but he refused to see me."
Sun Wukong answered his unspoken question.
A flash of cold light appeared in Emperor Donghua's eyes.
"Don't, don't bother."
Before Sun Wukong could stop him, Emperor Donghua had already reached the front of Ziwei Palace.
He paused at the entrance then kicked the door of Ziwei Palace.
With Great Divine Power, the door burst into pieces with a "boom", leaving a footprint-shaped hole.
This hole was especially large, about three meters high.
"Donghua!"
A roar came from inside Ziwei Palace, "Don't think I am always not angry!"
Sun Wukong watched Emperor Donghua in awe; he was so bold as to even kick in the door of Emperor Ziwei's Palace.
And it seemed like it wasn't the first time…
Emperor Donghua straightened his windblown pant legs and gave Sun Wukong a look.
If it were a conversation, it would be: "Don't panic, follow big brother inside."
Emperor Donghua took the lead and walked in.
Sun Wukong stood outside the door for a long time; after a moment's thought, considering that Emperor Donghua had gone to such lengths, how could he not follow?
He followed him inside.
After just a few steps, he saw Emperor Ziwei scolding Emperor Donghua.
"Your Majesty."
Sun Wukong stepped forward and said, "Emperor's action was unintentional; the fault lies with me."
He expressed his apologies to Emperor Ziwei.
Emperor Ziwei turned his head and glared at him, his expression changing several times, before finally, he sighed.
"Enough, come in."
Since there was no avoiding it, they had to meet.
Sun Wukong followed Emperor Ziwei into the grand hall and happened to see a dignified beautiful woman walking out.
Her eyebrows frosty, she scolded: "Donghua, how utterly rude."
Emperor Donghua, not expecting to encounter the Queen Mother here, bowed ceremonially, his face not showing much fear.
The Queen Mother huffed coldly, then scrutinized Sun Wukong up and down.
After a while, she said nothing and turned to leave.
"That's great, making a bad impression on the Queen Mother the moment she sees you."
Emperor Ziwei said.
"Was that the Queen Mother just now?"
Sun Wukong was startled, he had thought she was Emperor Ziwei's consort.
"Good thing I didn't call her Madame."
Sun Wukong secretly rejoiced.
Emperor Ziwei invited Sun Wukong and Emperor Donghua to sit down, served them tea, and then observed Sun Wukong discreetly.
Just as he expected, Sun Wukong's fate had indeed grown more vigorous and radiant.
This destiny was not fully apparent yet, but there were already very few in the world who could compare with him.
"It really increased…"
Emperor Ziwei thought to himself.
Sun Wukong appeared mild, but he concealed a sword within himself, its sharpness not yet revealed, unknown what he might do in the future, truly terrifying.
"Sigh…"
Emperor Ziwei thought of the expression the Queen Mother had when she left, sighing internally.
He did not know what might happen, but the Queen Mother's dislike for Sun Wukong could bring about unfavorable consequences.
"This truly is fate."
Emperor Ziwei shook his head.
With things having come this far, he had no choice but to host Sun Wukong well, also leaving a possibility for the future.
