Chapter 1165: Chapter 360: Destroying Doushuai Temple (Part 2)
The consequences of their communication with external enemies are more terrifying than a pure invasion by external foes.
Eastern Emperor Tai Yi and Haotian God are fully aware of what lies within the Three Realms.
Sun Wukong chuckled, not bothered to handle such troublesome matters.
As his strength grew, Sun Wukong instead focused more on enhancing his personal power.
If one possesses the power akin to that of the Three Pure Ones, no amount of scheming would have any impact on oneself.
By then, encountering an enemy would be as simple as sweeping them away.
"Did Yang Jian return to the Heavenly Court? Did something happen?"
Everyone noticed this point, and the Eastern King asked.
Sun Wukong said: "Just now, Emperor Jun sought me to form an alliance with the Heavenly Court. I, Old Sun, informed Yang Jian, who returned to the Heavenly Court to discuss with the Great Emperor Ziwei."
Sun Wukong had no intention of hiding anything from Emperor Jun.
Even if this news were to leak, leading to a failed alliance, it would still create discord between Emperor Jun and Eastern Emperor Tai Yi.
This wouldn’t be detrimental to the Heavenly Court at all.
If Emperor Jun is sincere, I believe he wouldn’t mind this point.
"Why does Emperor Jun want to form an alliance with the Heavenly Court?"
Everyone was surprised.
"Because Eastern Emperor Tai Yi communicated with Haotian, he’s worried that Haotian has already sided with creatures from beyond, and he’s even more concerned that Eastern Emperor Tai Yi might betray the Three Realms. Emperor Jun claimed that he has principles, at least he wouldn’t betray the Three Realms, hence the desire to form an alliance with the Heavenly Court."
Sun Wukong explained.
So it is, everyone suddenly understood.
However, the Eastern King looked a bit solemn.
He was too aware that matters involving creatures from beyond are extraordinary.
They could easily threaten the safety of the Three Realms. If Emperor Jun is true to his words, it’s no wonder he wanted to ally with the Heavenly Court.
If it were Emperor Jun alone, being schemed against by Haotian and Eastern Emperor Tai Yi would definitely lead to a bad end.
Haotian God is ruthless, and Eastern Emperor Tai Yi is no pushover.
With these two joining forces, it’s no wonder Emperor Jun felt uneasy.
The Eastern King wore a solemn expression; he thought for a moment and said: "I’ll make a trip to the Heavenly Court, I need to discuss this matter with His Majesty."
"Is it that serious? Isn’t there still the Three Pure Ones?"
Sun Wukong was a bit surprised.
He thought that creatures from beyond might be strong, but not to the extent of easily invading the Three Realms.
Mentioning the Three Pure Ones, the Eastern King’s gaze grew a bit cloudy.
He said blandly, "The most unreliable are the Three Pure Ones. Who knows what they think every day. It wouldn’t surprise me if they let creatures from beyond in."
Everyone was speechless, are the Three Pure Ones so unreliable?
"Especially Lord Taishang, always scheming there, neglecting serious matters. If the Three Realms had developed normally, the current power level would have already been comparable to..."
At that, the Eastern King stopped speaking.
Except for the Queen Mother of the West and Sun Wukong, the others were puzzled, not understanding what the Eastern King meant by comparable to.
Only Sun Wukong and the Queen Mother of the West understood that the Eastern King was referring to the strongest realm.
This was the place where the ancestors of the beings from the Three Realms lived before the Three Realms were opened.
However, that strongest realm was destroyed, then the Three Realms were created, continuing that realm.
"What status did the Three Pure Ones hold back then? Was it the same as now?"
Sun Wukong asked.
The Eastern King shook his head and said, "They were mere rising stars back then."
A rising star, but their current power is already on high.
Sun Wukong understood slightly, but more questions remained.
Three rising stars survived, but why didn’t the older generation of strong individuals from the place once known as the strongest realm survive?
From Meng Wu’s words, Sun Wukong discerned that in that strongest realm, there were twelve Heavenly Emperor level beings like the Eastern King.
These were what Meng Wu called the Twelve Kings.
Above them, there should have been even stronger beings.
The Eastern King noticed Sun Wukong’s puzzlement, he gave a bitter smile and said, "It was precisely because they were rising stars back then they weren’t targeted, giving them the chance to escape with some beings and seeds. The truly famous strong ones were targeted, and few could escape."
The Eastern King was one of them, he nearly died, had he not inadvertently stumbled into a chaotic area, losing track of him, even he wouldn’t have survived.
Later, after a long period, the Eastern King recovered a little, found the present Three Realms amidst the ruins of his homeland, and hid within it.
He remained low-key, rarely acting, even though his strength wasn’t weaker than a Heavenly Emperor, just below the Three Pure Ones.
Until this current age, he revealed himself to save his friend, the Queen Mother of the West.
However, he knew he couldn’t remain hidden forever.
The reason the Eastern King was willing to appear was that he sensed certain changes, hence he appeared.
The ones who destroyed the strongest realm might be coming again.
His low profile didn’t mean avoidance, he was coming out to do his part.
Sun Wukong suddenly realized.
The others were all a bit confused.
The Three Pure Ones are rising stars? The renowned strong were targeted and wiped out.
Zhenyuan and others were clueless about Sun Wukong and his discussion, utterly unfamiliar with this.
Yet, those present were all extraordinarily intelligent, vaguely grasping some things, although not too certain, couldn’t help showing shock on their faces.
"Forget it, I’ll go see the Great Emperor Ziwei and inquire about the Three Pure Ones. If the matter is beyond the control of the Three Pure Ones, immediately eliminate Eastern Emperor Tai Yi."
