In the novel Journey to the West, the Jade Emperor and Tathagata were both important characters, but their status and influence were slightly different. The Jade Emperor was the master of Taoism, the supreme leader of the immortals, and the ruler of the Heaven Realm. He had incomparably powerful power and status. In the novel, he had a very high status as an important figure among the immortals and was also one of the highest leaders on the way to the Western Paradise to obtain the scriptures. Tathagata was the Buddha in Buddhism, and was considered one of the most intelligent and capable beings in the universe. He came to the human world through a mysterious force and helped Tang Sanzang and his party complete their mission on the way to the Western Paradise to obtain scriptures. Tathagata also had a very high status in the novel. He was the absolute authority in Buddhism and an important figure among the immortals. Although the Jade Emperor and Tathagata were both important figures in the Heaven Realm, Tathagata had greater influence in Buddhism while the Jade Emperor had more status and influence in Taoism. However, in the end, who had a better position in the novel still needed to be analyzed according to the specific plot and character setting.

Sixteen years ago, he saw through Sakra's plot to steal the scriptures. In order to protect the righteous path of the world, he betrayed the celestial heavens and took away the strange scriptures.

For the past 300 years, he played chess with Sun Wukong every day and even advised the reincarnated Sun Wukong to accompany Tang Sanzang to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures.

In the original story of Journey to the West, the Jade Emperor had the following reaction to Sun Wukong's havoc in Heaven: First of all, when the Dragon King and the King of Hell went to heaven to complain about Sun Wukong stealing the treasure and canceling the life and death register, the Jade Emperor wanted to capture Sun Wukong. After Taibai and Jinxing suggested amnesty, they adopted this memorial and granted Sun Wukong the title of "Ma Wen". When Sun Wukong fought his way out of the Southern Heavenly Gate because he was dissatisfied with the position of "Ma Wen", the Jade Emperor sent Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, and the Third Prince Nezha to lead the Heavenly Army to capture him, but they were defeated by Sun Wukong. The Jade Emperor once again accepted Taibai Jinxing's memorial to carry out the second amnesty, and conferred Sun Wukong the title of "Great Sage Equal to Heaven". After that, Sun Wukong was not invited to the Feast of Peaches and caused a series of trouble. The Jade Emperor sent troops to encircle and suppress him many times. When Sun Wukong fought outside the Hall of Brightness, the Jade Emperor hurriedly sent someone to ask Buddha Tathagata to come and help. The reason why the Jade Emperor didn't take action himself was that it would be a disgrace to the Heavenly Court and the Jade Emperor if he took action personally for a demonic monkey who had just become a Taiyi Disbanded Immortal. It would make the Heavenly Court appear as if it didn't have any strength and powerful figures. Therefore, he used the Buddha to subdue Sun Wukong to maintain his face and dignity. In addition, there were also opinions that the Jade Emperor did not pay enough attention to Sun Wukong. The positions that he initially gave Sun Wukong (such as guarding the horse and guarding the peach garden, etc.) did not match his strength and status, which led to Sun Wukong's dissatisfaction and rebellion. He lacked decisiveness and determination in dealing with Sun Wukong's problem, and many times he failed to send troops to encircle and suppress him. Moreover, the Jade Emperor might be restrained and influenced by other immortals. However, there was also a saying that the Uproar in Heaven might be a show, and that the Jade Emperor had a deeper plan behind it, such as using it to fight for the right to pay wages (control resources) from Taishang Laojun.

The Jade Emperor Tathagata was a well-known fantasy novel, but it was not the only one. This novel was called the Romance of the Gods. It was a traditional fantasy novel written by Shi Naian, a novelist of the Ming Dynasty. The novel contained many mythical elements such as Nezha, Sun Wukong and other superheroes, as well as the existence of supernatural forces such as the Jade Emperor and the Buddha.
If one wanted to read a novel that included the Jade Emperor, the Buddha, and the Monkey King, the most famous one would be Journey to the West. In Journey to the West, the Jade Emperor was the supreme ruler of the Heavenly Court and was in charge of the order of the three worlds. He had experienced many tribulations to cultivate the Dao Fruit. Sun Wukong was originally a stone monkey from the Flower-Fruit Mountain. He was extremely talented. After learning powerful skills, he first self-proclaimed himself as the Great Sage Equal to Heaven in the Flower-Fruit Mountain. Later, he was recruited by the Jade Emperor to be an official in the Heavenly Court. However, he felt that the official position of Ma Wen was too small and rebelled against the Heavenly Court. The Jade Emperor once again recruited him to manage the peach garden. However, Sun Wukong secretly ate the Peaches of Immortality, disrupted the Feast of Peaches of Immortality, and caused havoc in the Heavenly Palace. At this moment, the Jade Emperor ordered the Buddha to come and subdue Sun Wukong. Buddha Tathagata was so powerful that he suppressed Sun Wukong at the foot of the Five Elements Mountain. Later, Sun Wukong was rescued by Tang Sanzang and embarked on the journey to the Western Heaven to obtain scriptures. Finally, he became the Victorious Fighting Buddha. During this process, the relationship between the Jade Emperor and Buddha was subtle. As the ruler of the Heavenly Court, the Jade Emperor had chosen to let Buddha Tathagata subdue Sun Wukong when he wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace. On the one hand, he had acknowledged Buddha Tathagata's ability. On the other hand, he could have used the power of Buddhism to achieve other goals, such as promoting the Buddhist Scriptures Project and allowing Buddhism to spread to Jambu. There were also some derivative novels such as Journey to the West that involved these three, and the plot further expanded their relationship and characters. For example, in the second part of Journey to the West, there was a plot where Tathagata fought against the Jade Emperor to save Sun Wukong. This also reflected the complicated relationship between them and Sun Wukong's special status in it. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
