The Tathāgata Must Fail

Chapter 104: Grassland


The Star Palace where Grotto Heaven is located is Ghost Mansion Four, not very far away.

However, shortly after Sun Wukong and his companions left the Pure Land, they were blocked by a Star River formed by billions of shattered stones.

The Star River spans across Chaos, filled with an aura of deadly silence.

"This was once a Star Official."

Immortal Zhenyuan observed for a long time before making a judgment.

Such a dense cluster of shattered stones must be the aftermath of the destruction of heaven and earth.

The group dodged the shattered stones as they moved forward in the Star River.

"How was this Star Palace destroyed?"

Heavenly Dog looked at the boulder-sized shattered stones: "How could it be so thoroughly shattered?"

"It must have been a battlefield."

Immortal Zhenyuan replied, "I can sense the presence of Immortal Law."

"I once heard that the Heavenly Emperor and the Venerable fought, causing a spell to affect Ghost Mansion, destroying a Star Palace."

God-beating Whip suddenly spoke, "It must be this Star Palace."

"Where was the battlefield between the Heavenly Emperor and the Venerable?"

Sun Wukong inquired.

"Located in the Land of Chaos to the west, over a hundred Star Palaces away from here."

Maiden replied.

"Over a hundred Star Palaces?"

Heavenly Dog was astonished.

That's astonishing, over a hundred Star Palaces would mean a distance of at least billions of miles.

A single spell managed to cross such a vast distance and destroyed a world.

"Was that a monster!"

Heavenly Dog couldn't help but think.

Sun Wukong narrowed his eyes, sensing the spell's energy within the shattered stones.

The energy of the spells was immensely domineering, persisting within the stones for hundreds of thousands of years without fading.

"I can't do that."

He thought to himself.

The war between that Venerable and the Heavenly Emperor was beyond imagination.

Suddenly, the Heavenly Horse stopped.

"There are other Heavenly Horses here."

It said so, with a hint of joy in its eyes.

Everyone was surprised.

Ever since being controlled by the Demon Suppressing Tower last time, the Heavenly Horse had been gloomy, this was its first joyful display.

"They are nearby."

The Heavenly Horse joyfully flew towards a corner of the Star River.

"Let's go and see."

Under Sun Wukong's command, everyone followed.

Crossing countless shattered stones, the Heavenly Horse landed on one of them.

This shattered stone was like a piece of dark land floating in mid-air, devoid of any light or vitality.

The group landed on the desolate surface.

"Oh dear."

The girl accidentally scraped her bare foot and got hurt while landing under the guidance of God-beating Whip.

"I will heal you."

God-beating Whip hurriedly treated her.

Watching this scene, Sun Wukong couldn't help but frown slightly.

He led the group forward following the Heavenly Horse, and after a short duration, the Heavenly Horse stopped in front of a pattern.

"This is the emblem of the Imperial Stables."

The Heavenly Horse joyfully said, "There definitely is a pasture inside."

It suddenly neighed, and a Light Gate rose from the pattern, standing on the ground.

The Heavenly Horse walked into the Light Gate, and Sun Wukong and the others followed.

Just as the Heavenly Horse had said, inside the Light Gate was an extraordinary place with a pasture.

This pasture, unlike those in the Mortal World, floated among endless clouds.

At a glance, Sun Wukong saw that the endless clouds were a small world created from Spiritual Energy.

In this small world, countless Heavenly Horses played among the clouds, galloping and soaring through the mists.

When they tired from play, they returned to the pasture to graze. Seeing the newcomers, they all rushed over en masse.

The Heavenly Horse joined in the frolic with its companions.

Soon, it came back to say hello.

"This is the pasture of the Imperial Stables; ever since the destruction of the Heavenly Court, they have been living here."

The Heavenly Horse said, "It's easy to come in here, but there's no way out."

The group suddenly became alarmed and looked towards Sun Wukong.

"Not difficult."

Sun Wukong said, "I can take you all out."

Everyone sighed in relief immediately.

A purple swallow horse upon hearing this, stepped forward to inquire: "Can you also take us out?"

They had long been weary of staying in the meadow.

"It's possible."

Sun Wukong nodded and said, "But with the Heavenly Court in ruins, there's nowhere for you to settle once we leave."

He made a suggestion: "How about you first take care of someone for me, stay here a little longer, and once I've dealt with the outside matters, I'll take you away."

The purple swallow horse nodded: "That's simple, who do you want us to take care of?"

"Her."

Sun Wukong called the girl.

God-beating Whip was shocked: "How can this be!"

"Brother, you've thought this through."

Immortal Zhenyuan said to God-beating Whip, "The Grotto Heaven we seek is crucial, and the White Robed Venerate will undoubtedly obstruct, carrying this young girl, if a battle occurs, it'd be tough to fully protect her."

"This..."

God-beating Whip hesitated.

"I don't want to."

The girl, looking scared, clung to his hand: "Master, I don't want to stay here."

God-beating Whip hesitated even more.

"Come here."

Sun Wukong cast a spell, and seemingly out of nowhere, a woman appeared.

"Mommy."

Seeing the woman, the girl immediately threw herself into her embrace.

God-beating Whip was stunned.

"With her mother here, you can rest assured."

Sun Wukong asked.

God-beating Whip blankly nodded.

"Heavenly Horse, you stay here as well."

Sun Wukong then said to the Heavenly Horse.

The Heavenly Horse quickly nodded, naturally desiring to stay with its companions.

"Does anyone else wish to stay?"

Sun Wukong asked the others.

"I will go with my master."

The maiden said immediately.

Naturally, Immortal Zhenyuan didn't need to say much; after a moment of hesitation, God-beating Whip also decided to go.

Heavenly Dog took the longest time to think, aware of the dangers that followed Sun Wukong.

But it also knew what Sun Wukong was about to do and didn't want to miss the chance to prove itself.

"I will go together."

After thinking it through, Heavenly Dog decided to follow.

Afterwards, Sun Wukong ordered the Heavenly Horse to protect the girl and her mother, then led everyone away.

"Brother."

After leaving the meadow, Immortal Zhenyuan glanced at God-beating Whip who seemed reluctant to move forward and whispered to Sun Wukong, "That woman was made from your Monkey Hair, right?"

"Mm."

Sun Wukong nodded slightly.

That woman was not the girl's real mother, but his Monkey Hair.

"How did master know what her mother looked like?"

The maiden couldn't help but ask when she overheard them.

"Calculated it."

Sun Wukong replied.

He had inferred the appearance of the girl's mother the first time he saw the girl, which now proved to be handy.

The maiden admired Sun Wukong's attention to detail but couldn't help worrying as well.

"Master, what if the girl finds out later that her mom is fake, what then?"

The maiden asked.

"People must eventually grow up; she has always known in her heart that her mother is dead but just doesn't want to admit it."

Sun Wukong said, "My Monkey Hair can help her escape from the beautiful dream."

The maiden still worried.

"Just trust it to brother."

Immortal Zhenyuan patted her on the head and said, "When it comes to teaching capabilities, no one surpasses him."

Sun Wukong who could educate all beings of the Three Realms, how could he not manage such a young girl.
