The moment that Zhu Bajie remembered everything, he finally understood why he would cry when staring at the moon. That was the place where his beloved had once lived.
All the memories after he was resurrected in Dragonquarry had returned to him. He now remembered that his beloved was still imprisoned there, all alone!
“Jade Emperor! You sealed my memories, imprisoned my wife, and made me into this… I will have my vengeance, just you wait!” His aura began to rise as he said that and the Nine-toothed Rake appeared in his hand. He then stepped on the clouds and headed straight to the Heavenly Palace.
When the woman saw that Zhu Bajie was heading straight into the air, she cried out in surprise, “Bajie! Where are you going?”
“Thank you for accompanying me all this time, Cuilan. I must go and find her now.” Zhu Bajie headed straight into the skies without any reservations.
The little monk looked at Zhu Bajie flying into the sky with a faint smile on his face.
“You idiot monk! Why must you make him remember?! Why?!” Gao Cuilan roared at the little monk with tears in her eyes.
If it was not because of the little monk, she could have lived with Zhu Bajie together forever. They could have had a happy life.
Everyone was afraid of Zhu Bajie, thinking that he was ugly beyond description, but she did not see it that way. She knew that someone like him would not truly have that kind of face. If his appearance was restored, his appearance must be of someone very handsome.
The only reason that he would become like that must be because of some kind of curse. When the curse was broken, he would then be able to prove to everyone that he was no pig, but a very handsome and very kind man.
But before she could even wait for that day to arrive, her dream was already shattered by the little monk. It made her extremely angry.
The little monk said to Gao Cuilan with a smile, “Kind Madam, he does not belong here. Even if I do not help him recover his memories, they will recover on their own. Once his memories have been recovered, he would still choose to leave. You should end it now before the pain becomes worse in the future.”
With that, he then disappeared into thin air, leaving behind Gao Cuilan who could only watch in numbness.

After Jiang Feng had arrived at the Heavenly Palace with the other gods, he then left the large group and carefully went to the Moon Palace.
However, there were simply too many Celestial Soldiers and Celestial Generals around here. Very quickly, he met another patrol.
Looking at the Celestial General leading nine Celestial Soldiers approaching him from the front, his eyes became sharp as he thought to himself, ‘I’ll kill anyone that discovers my identity!’
The dozen of them could not help but shudder before they even got close to Jiang Feng, as if the temperature around them had suddenly dropped.
“1006, why are you here? Did you not go to attack the Shifters?”
Jiang Feng sighed, “Do not even mention it. We have failed in our attack against the Shifters. Everyone in my squad was killed, and I was demoted to guard the prisoners at the Moon Palace!”
The Celestial General then said with a tone of sudden realization, “I heard about it. I heard that many of our brothers were reassigned. I did not expect that the Shifter Emperor would be so powerful. It was fortunate that I did not go, or it would be the end of me too.”
“Alright, we should stop chatting. I still have to report at my post. I cannot afford to be late now,” Jiang Feng said and continued to fly around the squad and headed toward the Moon Palace.
After he left, the Celestial General then mumbled to himself suspiciously, “The Moon Palace doesn’t need anyone to guard… Can it be to stop the Shifter Emperor from making his way up here?”
He shook his head and continued to lead the others to patrol.
Jiang Feng encountered a few more squads, but they were all bluffed by Jiang Feng using the same ruse and he managed to reach the Moon Palace.
Even he had to agree that the Moon Palace was very beautiful.
It was surrounded by laurel trees and their scent encircled the place.
But what made his expression darken was that there were hundreds of layers of barriers around the Moon Palace. Not only that, he guessed that the laurel trees were also forming a great array.
If he were to directly make his way into the Moon Palace, he would no doubt trigger the array and the barriers. He could even die if he were to be imprisoned inside.
‘How can I go in without being detected?’ Jiang Feng thought to himself for a while. But after considering his options for one minute, he gave up and was prepared to break through using force.
The barriers and the array must have been placed by the fake Jade Emperor. Unless he could kill the Jade Emperor or have the Jade Emperor remove it himself, he would not be able to go through them without a hitch.
Since both ways were impossible, he would need to force his way through.
As long as he could place Fairy Violetglow, Chang’e, and Grandmaster Bodhi into the Lianyao Flask as soon as he breaks through the barriers and array, they would all be safe.
Even though he would not be able to finish his quest after saving the three of them, he might be able to find out where the Jingu Staff is from the three of them. If he could find and retrieve the Jingu Staff at the same time, he might be able to finish two parts of the quest.
He was already becoming quite excited about the rewards he could get by completing the Uproar in Heaven 2 quest.
He took out the Chaos Lightning Orb from his backpack and flew right up above the Moon Palace. He took in a deep breath and was prepared to hurl the Chaos Lightning Orb at the Moon Palace with all his might.
“Shifter Emperor! No!”
Just as he had thrown out the Chaos Lightning Orb, a voice could be heard as if someone was speaking to him. When he heard the voice, he was so startled that he immediately went to catch the Chaos Lightning Orb that was going to crash into the barrier.
“Grandmaster Bodhi?!” Jiang Feng asked in his mind as he took back the Chaos Lightning Orb.
“Do not attack the barrier. If you destroy the first layer, all the barriers and the array would detonate! None of us will survive that!” The voice of Grandmaster Bodhi entered his ears again.
Hiss…
When Jiang Feng heard what Grandmaster Bodhi had said, all he could do was take in a breath of cold air.
***
Within the Moon Palace.
Despite Jiang Feng being unable to see anyone inside, all of them could see the people outside.
When Jiang Feng arrived, Fairy VIoletglow, Grandmaster Bodhi, and Chang’e had all seen him.
But when they saw him trying to attack the barrier, the three of them were shocked.
Luckily, Grandmaster Bodhi had recovered a little of his powers. As Jiang Feng had fused with Sun Wukong’s body, he had Sun Wukong’s bloodline within him. That was why he could contact Jiang Feng using a secret skill and stop him. Otherwise, the result was not something any of them could survive.
Jiang Feng’s voice then came, “What should I do to save all of you?”
Grandmaster Bodhi then said, “Kill the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother!”
Jiang Feng then asked again, “Grandmaster, do you know where the Jingu Staff is?”
Grandmaster Bodhi then said, “Within Taishang Laojun’s Bagua Furnace. They want to destroy the Jingu Staff.”
…
Jiang Feng felt somewhat powerless after he had spoken with Grandmaster Bodhi.
He was originally planning to save them when he followed the gods back to the Heavenly Palace. He did not expect that he would first need to kill the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother.
The Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother were not the original two from the Divine Dominion Continent. They had already reached the power of Level 500 Mythic Saint. With his current level of power, he could not defeat them.
‘I should take the Jingu Staff first and see what the second phase of the quest is later!’ With that thought in mind, he then flew toward Taishang Laojun’s residence.
“Hm?” But after flying off for just a while, he then heard the sounds of battle from the Southern Heavenly Gate.
He was quite curious as he thought to himself, ‘Who is attacking the Southern Heavenly Gate? Who could be that ferocious?’
