Chapter 1210: Chapter 370: Pacifying the Sky Fox Race (Part 3)
Truth Listening looked at its master in a strange manner, unable to help but complain: “Master, just how long have you been in closed-door cultivation? Together with the Great Saint, I hunted down the Primordial Bird. While others might not see it, you should be able to; the Great Saint had no ability to locate the Primordial Bird. It was definitely me assisting him.”
Ksitigarbha was stunned; in this brief period of closed-door cultivation, Sun Wukong had actually slain the Primordial Bird.
That was a Supreme level being, who once competed with the Primordial Phoenix for the name of Phoenix.
Nodding his head, Ksitigarbha praised: “Well done.”
However, Truth Listening was dissatisfied and complained: “Master, your praise is lacking sincerity.”
Ksitigarbha laughed and said: “What should I do to show sincerity? How about I treat you to some dog meat soup?”
Truth Listening: “Farewell.”
…
Despite the jokes, Ksitigarbha was indeed pleased with Truth Listening’s arrival. He petted Truth Listening for a long time, asking about things that happened during their separation.
Truth Listening, with tears and snot all over, depicted its situation as utterly miserable.
However, Ksitigarbha believed only thirty percent of it.
This guy is very crafty; believing everything he says would be foolish.
“What a beautiful big dog!”
Fan Yao appeared, her eyes lighting up at the sight of Truth Listening.
Sun Wukong and the others were speechless; how could Truth Listening be considered cute?
Though it looked like a dog, it was actually a powerful Mythical Beast. Its body was not covered in fur but a kind of scale armor; its true form was exceptionally majestic.
Truth Listening was immediately enraged, baring its teeth at Fan Yao.
Just then, Sun Wukong glanced at him, and Truth Listening immediately calmed down.
Fan Yao walked over, rubbing Truth Listening’s head, smiling brightly: “This doggy is really fierce.”
“You’re the dog, your whole family are dogs.”
Truth Listening, with a black face, started cursing.
Fan Yao chuckled slightly, not minding, and merely said: “Great Saint, this dog is not very obedient. How about we stew it?”
Truth Listening’s eyes widened; how could a woman of Huaguo Mountain be so brutal?
It quickly put on its most benevolent expression and wagged its tail, voluntarily placing its head under Fan Yao’s hand.
Only then did Fan Yao show a smile, saying happily: “I was wrong, this dog is well-behaved, we shouldn’t stew him.”
Truth Listening was in tears, utterly humiliated.
To be treated as a big dog and have to wag its tail in supplication was a disgrace it had never faced in its life.
Sun Wukong laughed and said: “Alright, Fan Yao, stop teasing it. This is Truth Listening, not just a big dog. This time I managed to kill the Primordial Bird thanks to him.”
Truth Listening immediately raised its head proudly, looking like it had accomplished great things.
Only then did Fan Yao withdraw her hand, simply responding with one word.
“Oh.”
No one interrupted Truth Listening and Ksitigarbha; they conversed while Ksitigarbha guided Truth Listening on some cultivation issues.
To Truth Listening, Ksitigarbha could be considered his teacher.
The level of cultivation Truth Listening had reached was inseparable from Ksitigarbha.
Had he not been protected by Ksitigarbha, Truth Listening might not have survived to this day.
Truth Listening’s Divine Skills would incite apprehension among many strong individuals.
Everyone left.
Half a day later, Truth Listening also departed.
Sun Wukong was somewhat surprised. He said to Ksitigarbha, who seemed reluctant: “You actually didn’t have to let him go. Even if you kept him here, it wouldn’t matter. Now that the pathway to the Demon Realm requires guarding, but if Supreme level powerhouses from the Demon Realm were to invade the Three Realms, Truth Listening wouldn’t be able to hold them back. His role there isn’t very significant anymore.”
The opponent deliberately concealed their actions, and coupled with intentions that worked against them, with Truth Listening’s current strength, it was utterly impossible to detect the movements of those Supreme level demons from the Demon Realm.
Whether he stayed at the Demon Realm entrance had already become unimportant.
Ksitigarbha, however, shook his head and said: “Truth Listening cannot always remain by my side, it also needs to grow. Staying by my side, it will never become a true powerhouse.”
Sun Wukong glanced at Ksitigarbha, knowing full well that sometimes being able to be ruthless, though appearing merciless, was actually the best for others.
The affection between Ksitigarbha and Truth Listening goes without saying.
Yet, he still sent Truth Listening away, placing it at the dangerous exit of the Demon Realm.
It might appear merciless, but it contained his earnest hope for Truth Listening to grow into a real powerhouse.
If Haotian had treated him the same way back then, how would he have become so resentful of Haotian, opposing him.
Between Haotian and himself, it was a scam from start to finish.
This Sun Wukong knew well, and it was different from the affection between Ksitigarbha and Truth Listening.
Ksitigarbha folded his hands and took his leave.
He needed to enter closed-door cultivation and strive to elevate his cultivation level.
After the Sky Fox Clan surrendered to the Heavenly Court, Yang Jian began sending people to search through all living beings in the world.
He indeed found many forces deployed by Haotian, existing quietly in the world, each clan incredibly strong, and in the Primordial era, they ranked as top clans.
These were all underlings of the Haotian God, Yang Jian and the others were utterly shocked.
It was only then they realized what kind of grandeur the Haotian God had back in those days.
Just these remnants alone gathered together formed a considerable force, even frightening.
The Sky Fox Clan was not prominent, compared to some of these clans, they were even tail-enders.
Had Sun Wukong not discovered the Sky Fox Clan, and they began the investigations, once the Haotian God returned and gathered these clans to challenge the Heavenly Court, there could truly be a chance to catch the Heavenly Court off guard.
For a dozen or so days, the entire Three Realms were embroiled in a bloody storm.
Even the Primordial Gods and Demons were astonished, not expecting the Heavenly Court to act so decisively and efficiently, annihilating nearly ten major clans in such a short duration.
They were even more shocked by the strength of those major clans, having Supremes among them, some even having two Supremes.
Even in the past, the Dragon Clan wasn’t as formidable.
Some races in the Primordial era were just ordinary clans,
yet over the eras from Primordial, Ancient, throughout to the current age, these clans had grown into colossal powerhouses.
They developed their strength secretly, very low-key, their long accumulation over the ages led to legions of experts.
If not for the Heavenly Court catching them by surprise, if they had united, the Heavenly Court would have found it nearly impossible to annihilate them.
Moreover, various signs indicated Haotian’s imminent return, if they acted any slower, taking action would yield minimal results.
Taking action now was just right.
Sun Wukong pondered over this information; he said not to be concerned, but matters between heaven and earth were something he ought to be aware of, lest he makes foolish decisions at critical moments.
Lack of information, being out of touch with current affairs, would surely lead to judgment errors.
During this period, the world was awash in blood.
The Heavenly Court’s thunderous actions instilled respect among all extraordinary beings.
Nevertheless, those remnants were finally almost wiped out.
Though some escaped, they weren’t enough to alter the situation.
A blood-colored figure descended, landing atop Huaguo Mountain.
Sun Wukong was startled, his gaze flickering, immediately recognizing the identity of the person.
“Nezha.”
