Chapter 36: The Thirty-Six Heavens
Tai Bai Xing and the Monkey King Sun Wukong went out of the depths of the Water Curtain Cave together, and they rose together on the clouds, Tai Bai Xing was afraid that Sun Wukong would not know the etiquette of the heavenly court, and he abruptly surprised the Jade Emperor.
So he secretly reminded Sun Wukong, only to hear him ask: "Does the king know how heavy this day is?"
Sun Wukong said: "Naturally, it is thirty-six heavens. â
Tai Bai Xing smiled: "Does the king know which thirty-six heavens?"
Sun Wukong thought for a while and said:
"I only know that there are thirty-two heavens below, and these thirty-two days from top to bottom are Taiji Meng Jia Yitian, Dragon Transformation Brahma Dutian, Taishi Yu Long Tengsheng Tian, Tai Void Shang Chang Rong Tian, Xiule Ban Shangtian, Han Pet Miao Cheng Tian, Yuantong Yuan Dongtian, Hao Ting Xiao Du Tian, Wuji Tan Oath Heaven, Shang Yang Ruan Letian, Wu Si Jiang Youtian, Taihuang Weng Chongtian, Shi Huang Xiao Mangtian, Xianding Extreme Wind Heaven, Tai'an Huangya Tian, Yuan Zai Kong Shengtian, Taihuan Ji Yao Tian, Xuan Ming Gongqing Tian, Guan Ming Duan Jing Tian, Xuming Tang Yao Tian, Zhu Luo Huang Eggplant Tian, Yao Ming Zong Piaotian, Xuan Ming Gong Hua Tian, Chi Ming and Yang Tian, Tai Chi Meng Fei Tian, Void Yue Heng Tian, Qi Yao Mo Yi Tian, Yuan Ming Wen Ju Tian, Xuan Tong Tian, Qingming He Tong Tian, Tai Ming Yu Wan Tian, Emperor Huang Zengtian. â
Tai Bai Xing added:
"What you said is not bad, the lowest six heavens are the realm of desire, and the next eighteen heavens are collectively called the color realm, and the next four heavens are called the colorless realm, and the next four heavens are the four Brahmas, and the Buddhists also refer to these four Brahmas. â
"These thirty-two heavens, the higher they go, the higher the concentration of innate aura, and the closer they are to the galaxy, the richer the essence of the stars, and the more suitable for cultivation.
At the same time, the flow of time is also slower, which is why there is a saying that there is one day in the sky and a year underground. â
Sun Wukong exclaimed: "The aura in this heaven is so strong, isn't the cultivation of the immortal family a thousand miles in a day?"
Tai Bai Xing smiled embarrassedly: "The king thinks badly, although the aura in this heaven is strong, the gods can't enjoy it, it's just to enter the treasure mountain and can't do it." â
Goku asked, "Why is that?"
Tai Bai Xing said: "Most of the gods in the heavenly court come from the battle of the gods, and many of them are true spirits who entered the god list after they died in the battle and were able to become gods, but after entering the god list, it is difficult to cultivate an inch, so although the essence of the heavenly stars is rich, the gods can't absorb a single point." â
"Of course, the list of gods has no effect on those who have become holy in the flesh. â
When Sun Wukong heard this, he said:
"In this case, why don't you destroy the god list, so that all the immortal true spirits can return to their main body, and they can enjoy the innate aura of this heaven and earth. â
Tai Bai Xing was terrified when he heard this, he hurriedly looked around, and whispered to Sun Wukong:
"The king must not say this again, beware of the evil that comes out of his mouth. â
"The king knows whose hands this god list is in. â
Sun Wukong said without thinking:
"Stumped in the hands of the Jade Emperor. â
Tai Bai Xing Dao:
"Exactly, the Jade Emperor is in charge of all the yin and yang blessings and misfortunes of the Three Realms, Six Realms, Ten Directions and Four Beings, he is the king of the gods and Buddhas, and his status in the god rank is extremely high, and the divine power is the greatest. He has a majestic appearance, a supreme Dharma body, rules the heavens, leads all saints, dominates the universe, enlightens the heavens, walks the way of the heavens, spreads the virtues of the heavens, creates all things, helps all beings, weighs the three realms, rules all spirits, and has no measure of people, is the supreme god of the heavenly realm, and the emperor of all heavens. â
Wukong said with a smile: "I know, I know, my ears are going to be calloused, doesn't it mean that the Jade Emperor is in charge of thirty-two days and seventy-two earths, and is in charge of all things in gods, immortals, Buddhas, saints, human beings, demons, and underworlds, and has boundless power?"
Tai Bai Xing said with a smile: "Don't be impatient, if you see the Jade Emperor, you must not act like a mortal monster again, and you and I can't afford to be abrupt Your Majesty." â
Sun Wukong looked at him left and right, and asked Tai Bai Xing:
"You said that this Jade Emperor is so good, why is it only in charge for thirty-two days, and who are the people living in the remaining four days, why can't this Jade Emperor control it?"
åĪŠį―éæ says:
"These thirty-three days are the days of the Yuqing Holy Realm, the thirty-four days are the days of Yuyu of the Shangqing Realm, and the thirty-five days are the days of the Taiqing Immortal Realm. â
"Among them, the Daode Tianzun resides in the Taiqing Immortal Realm Dachi Tian, the Lingbao Tianzun dominates the Yuyu Heaven of the Shangqing Realm, and the Yuan Shi Tianzun dominates the Qingwei Heaven of the Yuqing Sacred Realm. â
"These three Heavenly Venerables are the ancestors of the Dao, and they are not under the jurisdiction of the Jade Emperor. â
Sun Wukong said:
"Then what about these thirty-six heavens, which ancestor lives there. â
Tai Bai Xing said infinitely respectfully:
"This thirty-sixth heaven is the Great Luo Heaven, the Great Luo Heaven space is infinite, only the master of the Three Qings, the ancestor of Hongjun can live here. â
Sun Wukong and Tai Bai Xing inquired about many secrets of the fairy world, but he was anxious, he was anxious to find Zixia's whereabouts, and saw that Tai Bai Xing was too slow to control the clouds, so he asked:
"Where is this Lingxiao Treasure Hall where the Jade Emperor lives?"
Tai Bai Xing did not doubt him, and replied: "The Jade Emperor's Lingxiao Treasure Palace, as well as the Queen Mother's Yaochi Palace, are both located in Taiji Mengfei Jia Yitian, the east is the Lingxiao Treasure Palace, and the west is the Yaochi Wonderland. â
Sun Wukong asked the location and said to Tai Bai Xing:
"You're too slow, my grandson will go to the front to see the Jade Emperor first. â
After that, he left Venus behind and drove the somersault cloud straight up to the sky. Tai Bai Xing chased desperately behind, but in a blink of an eye, he couldn't even see Sun Wukong's back.
Sun Wukong drove the clouds to Taiji Meng Jia Yitian, saw that there was a heavenly gate in front of him, and the inscription on it said Nantianmen, he collected the somersault cloud, and was about to enter the door, but was blocked by several heavenly generals guarding the door.
It turned out that it was one of the four heavenly kings, the Growth Heavenly King, who led Pang Liu Goubi, Deng Xin and Zhang Tao, all the way to Tianding, guns, swords and halberds, blocking the gate of heaven, and refusing to let Wukong enter the door.
Wukong said angrily:
"Who are you waiting for, and why are you hindering me from entering the temple? â
Growth King Road:
"This is the Heavenly Palace, is this the place where you should come as a nether demon! Don't retreat quickly, otherwise you won't blame me for waiting for the demon to subdue the demon." â
Seeing this, Sun Wukong said:
"You don't know that I am the Jade Emperor who personally ordered me to go to heaven to be an official, so why don't you let me in. â
Who knew that Wukong didn't say it, but when the Heavenly King heard that he was the Jade Emperor's personal decree to pass him on to heaven as an official, they couldn't stop laughing.
The Growth Heavenly King said laughingly: "Hahahaha, I'm afraid you're not daydreaming, you are a nether demon monkey, and you still want to be favored by the Jade Emperor?" â
Several people laughed again.
Sun Wukong was annoyed for a while, but he still thought that finding Zixia's whereabouts was the top priority, and he must not offend the immortal family so quickly, but he still couldn't suppress his anger and said:
"Okay, you are too white and old, since you invited me to heaven, why did you teach people to stop me from the door, I am really angry. â
Seeing that Sun Wukong was so rampant, the Growth Heavenly King said angrily:
"Okay, you demon monkey, I kindly spared your life and persuaded you to leave, not only did you not listen, but you also dared to insult God here, I think you are impatient to live, since this is the case, I will fulfill you. â
said that he was going to catch demons with his subordinates, Sun Wukong was already humiliated and angry by them, and when he saw this, he directly took out the Ruyi Golden Hoop Stick, and the two sides were tense, and the battle was about to break out.
At this time, Tai Bai Xing arrived in the clouds and stopped in time.
The two sides are waiting for Tai Bai Xing to explain, and Sun Wukong said with a cruel face:
"You old man, how dare you coax me, saying that you invited me to heaven as an official at the behest of the Jade Emperor Zhao'an, but now you don't even let my grandson in the gate of heaven, what are your intentions, if you don't recruit from the truth, you must all taste the power of the divine iron in my grandson's hands. â
