After Ascending, the Buddha Wutian Sent Me to Eliminate Sun Wukong

Synopsis: Lu Linshen finally ascended from the lower realm to the world of the gods. Hoping to land an immortal post in the Celestial Court and get a steady celestial salary, he soon learned what the place was really like. Was the Celestial Court all about fighting and killing? No. It was all about connections and social savvy. How could a little nobody from the lower realm compete with the descendants of the Heavenly Kings? After a well-connected rival took the immortal position out from under him, Lu Linshen became a disciple of the Buddha Ancestor Wutian. The Buddha Ancestor said: “Go get rid of Sun Wukong.” “Me?” Lu Linshen didn’t dare refuse. Instead, he changed his strategy, infiltrating Wukong’s circle and becoming sworn brothers with him, despite having different parents. He brought Wukong to Fangcun Mountain, where they became disciples of Patriarch Bodhi. When Wukong wreaked havoc in the Celestial Court, the gods were sent fleeing in disarray. Lu Linshen told Wukong, “I’m afraid I’ll never cultivate into a Great Unity Golden Immortal. I just don’t have enough resources!” Wukong replied, “Would five hundred nine-thousand-year peaches and five hundred Nine-Turn Golden Pills be enough?” That would be more than enough. The Jade Emperor asked Lu Linshen, “What kind of immortal are you?” Lu Linshen answered, “I’m the one who brought Wukong up.”
