Chapter 19

These two days have been extremely busy, so I'll update one chapter first. Starting tomorrow, I'll resume updating two chapters.

"Speaking of which... I seem to have seen this Heavenly General just now!"

Yang Zhen used the 'Stealth' technique and had been wandering around the Heavenly Court for almost an hour. However, he had already seen this rather handsome Heavenly General several times. Well, at this point, dear readers, you can all understand that our protagonist, Yang Zhen, had shamefully gotten lost.

The Heavenly Court was simply too large. Yang Zhen had wandered around several times but still couldn't find the location of the Peach Garden. However, Yang Zhen did manage to take a look at the legendary Jade Emperor from a distance outside the Lingxiao Hall. Yang Zhen wasn't sure if there were any experts in the Heavenly Court who could detect him, but since no one had come to capture him so far, it didn't matter.

"Report to General Tianpeng, the Jade Emperor has summoned you." At this moment, a Heavenly Soldier flew over from a distance and said to the handsome Heavenly General.

General Tianpeng waved his cloak and said, "Alright, I understand."

Yang Zhen, hiding in the shadows, felt a sudden burst of dazzling golden light from General Tianpeng, blinding him.

Is this the Second Master? I didn't expect the Second Master to be so handsome. No wonder he had the guts to flirt with Chang'e. The current General Tianpeng is a typical high, rich, and handsome figure in the Heavenly Court. Yang Zhen was increasingly looking forward to the day when the handsome Second Master would be reborn as a pig. Just thinking about a generation of handsome men turning into a pig's head made Yang Zhen feel a sense of relief and comfort.

After learning that the Jade Emperor had summoned him, General Tianpeng flew towards the Lingxiao Hall. However, looking at General Tianpeng's expression, it seemed he had some worries and didn't really want to see the Jade Emperor.

In fact, Tianpeng was originally one of the stars of the Northern Dipper. According to Volume 172 of the "Dao Fa Hui Yuan," "The Nine Palaces of the Northern Dipper, transformed and divided into essence, are the Nine Deities. The Nine Deities are Tianpeng, Tianren, Tianheng, Tianfu, Tianying, Tiannei, Tianzhu, Tianxin, and Tianqin."

This General Tianpeng is the chief assistant of the Nine Palaces of the Northern Dipper, in charge of the four seasons, eight festivals, and the policies of yin and yang creation. He is a star deity of extremely high status. However, the Northern Dipper stars are under the command of the Great Emperor of the Northern Pole, who oversees the Northern Dipper and the Underworld.

A divine general like General Tianpeng is naturally a person that all sides try to win over, especially the Jade Emperor, the supreme ruler of the three realms. To truly control the Heavenly Court, the Jade Emperor has been making great efforts to win over General Tianpeng. Not only does he give small rewards every three days and large rewards every five days, but he also invites General Tianpeng to every banquet, making his intentions to win him over very clear.

Today, the Jade Emperor clearly called General Tianpeng to a banquet, which is why General Tianpeng was feeling depressed. General Tianpeng, of course, understood the Jade Emperor's intentions, but he didn't want to submit to the Jade Emperor and couldn't openly refuse. So, he had been very frustrated lately, unsure of how to dispel the Jade Emperor's thoughts.

While General Tianpeng was thinking in secret, a sudden burst of fire surrounded him, leaving no gaps on any side, not even above or below. From a distance, it looked like a giant fireball had enveloped General Tianpeng. It was clear that as soon as the person controlling the fire had a thought, General Tianpeng would be reduced to ashes.

"Bold demon!" Seeing someone dare to ambush him, General Tianpeng immediately shouted, "Do you know who I am? I am the great General Tianpeng! What demon dares to ambush your grandpa, are you tired of living?"

Yang Zhen, hiding in the shadows, saw that General Tianpeng was still so arrogant even when he had no way out, and immediately became furious. He controlled a flame to burn General Tianpeng's buttocks. Since Yang Zhen deliberately controlled it, this Three-Flavored True Fire didn't have its usual power.

"Ah! It's burning your grandpa to death! Who dared to ambush me, ouch! It's burning me to death!" The fire burned his buttocks, and General Tianpeng immediately jumped around, slapping his buttocks hard.

Seeing General Tianpeng's狼狈样, Yang Zhen laughed and said, "If you dare to speak insolently again, I'll burn you into a roasted pig." After saying that, Yang Zhen retracted the Three-Flavored True Fire and let General Tianpeng go.

"Who are you, to dare to cause trouble in the Heavenly Court?" General Tianpeng asked.

Yang Zhen laughed disdainfully and didn't answer General Tianpeng's question. Instead, he asked, "I'll ask you, do you know how to get to the Peach Garden?"

"You dare to covet the peaches? Do you know that they are the Empress's most beloved treasure? You... you are courting death!" Hearing that Yang Zhen wanted to go to the Peach Garden, General Tianpeng was immediately shocked, seemingly intimidated by Yang Zhen's boldness. He looked around but didn't see Yang Zhen, and thought to himself, "This person may be hiding, but he has some skills. Why don't I tell him the location of the Peach Garden? The current guardian of the Peach Garden is that monkey. If these two fight, the Jade Emperor's banquet will be ruined."

After making his plan, General Tianpeng pretended to be panicked and said, "The Peach Garden is the Empress's most beloved place. If I tell you, the Empress will never forgive me."

Hearing this, Yang Zhen coldly said, "But if you don't tell me where the Peach Garden is, I won't let you go now. This fire is the Three-Flavored True Fire. Once it burns you to death, I'll burn your soul too, making you cease to exist forever. If you tell me the location of the Peach Garden, the Empress might only give you a minor punishment, at worst, reincarnation. Choose your path wisely."

General Tianpeng pretended to think for a moment and then told Yang Zhen the location of the Peach Garden.

"Is what you said true?" Yang Zhen asked suspiciously.

General Tianpeng immediately said angrily, "Of course! I am the great General Tianpeng, how could I deceive a wild demon? Humph! How laughable!"

"Alright, I'll believe you for now. If I find out you lied to me, I'll make you regret ever being alive!" Yang Zhen threatened.

After learning the location of the Peach Garden, Yang Zhen suddenly smiled sinisterly and then fiercely burned General Tianpeng, shocking him into shouting, "You demon, how can you be so untrustworthy!"

"Humph! If I were trustworthy, I wouldn't be a demon," Yang Zhen laughed.

The Three-Flavored True Fire only lightly burned General Tianpeng, and he fainted. Yang Zhen didn't kill General Tianpeng; he just couldn't resist scaring the yet-to-be-reincarnated 'Second Master.' After all, in the future, the popularity of the 'Second Master' had surpassed that of the First Master, Sun Wukong, so Yang Zhen couldn't resist playing with this General Tianpeng.

"Ha ha! That's perfect!"

After sealing General Tianpeng's powers, Yang Zhen tied him up and stuffed him into a corner. He even found something to gag General Tianpeng's mouth and, most infuriatingly, drew a pig's head on his face.

Yang Zhen believed that when General Tianpeng woke up, he would hate him to death.

After dealing with General Tianpeng, Yang Zhen eagerly flew towards the Peach Garden, which was his main goal for coming to the Heavenly Court.
