Chapter 1234: Chapter 380: Plenty of Time
The crowd fell silent.
All of them could be considered beings of later generations.
Not to mention the events before the opening of heaven, even the events of The Primordial, Primordial, and even Ancient Times were not well understood.
It is only the Ancient Times, not too distant from them, that they understand more clearly.
No one knows how many secrets are hidden within the Three Realms.
Even with Sun Wukong’s current strength, he is only gradually uncovering the true face of the Three Realms and gaining insight into some so-called "truths."
Those truths are so heavy that they prevent him from remaining optimistic.
However, in the end, he is confident that he will be able to sweep away all enemies and break all calamities in the future.
"No need to think so much, just strive to grow, and I will shield you from the front. Only if we fall, will you need to worry about it."
A gentle voice spoke; it was the Goddess Nuwa.
A strand of her Primordial Spirit awakened, perceiving some of Sun Wukong’s thoughts, and her voice immediately echoed in Wukong’s heart.
Sun Wukong smiled, and hearing the voice of the Goddess Nuwa, he suddenly felt much more at ease.
Indeed, now they do not need to think too much; everything is defended by Goddess Nuwa and the others in front.
They don’t have to worry about so many things yet.
"Rest assured, there is plenty of time; it is not as short as you think. Countless years have passed, and do you think you will lack time to grow? Do not forget, the Elder Lord has even thought of overthrowing the current choices and starting anew, which shows that time is quite generous, and you should trust that old Taoist’s judgment."
Nuwa chuckled lightly.
Sun Wukong was slightly taken aback; he knew he was chosen by the Elder Lord, and was even quite an important part, but he didn’t expect that the Elder Lord had ever considered changing choices.
Thinking about it, it makes sense. After all, he is Taishang Daoist Ancestor; to be manipulated like this, if he wasn’t angry, that would be truly strange.
However, causing trouble for the Elder Lord is still necessary.
In the Doushuai Temple, Lord Taishang’s face was not looking good; he had a feeling of malice looming over him.
He was being targeted, and Lord Taishang was very sure of that.
"Enough, I won’t say too much to you — otherwise it might influence you — you don’t have to worry too much, we have a thirty percent chance of victory this time, to completely resolve this disaster."
At this point, Nuwa looked very pleased.
Sun Wukong was rather stunned.
Thirty percent chance?
Is this worth making the Goddess Nuwa so happy?
What kind of powerful enemy are they facing?
With thoughts swirling in his mind, Sun Wukong called out to the Goddess Nuwa again, but there was no longer a response.
Clearly, the Goddess Nuwa had fallen back into slumber.
Sun Wukong took a deep breath.
He smiled, causing some confusion among the crowd.
The conversation between Sun Wukong and the Goddess Nuwa in his heart couldn’t be heard by others.
None of them understood why Sun Wukong was so delighted.
"Wukong, what’s going on with you?"
Guanyin Bodhisattva was a little worried, fearing that Sun Wukong had become delusional.
Going to the Demon Realm, it wasn’t impossible to be affected by the Demonic Qi.
After all, the Demonic Qi of the Demon Realm is the most fearsome evil energy under heaven, capable of affecting the minds of living beings.
In the Three Realms, there are only demon monsters, but no true evil demons.
The so-called demon monsters are called demons, but in reality, they are more akin to monsters.
There is an essential difference between monsters and evil demons.
A monster doing good can be called a Demon Immortal, but doing evil becomes a demon monster.
The difference between them and Immortals is not much.
In the Heavenly Court, there are quite a few Demon Immortals.
Sun Wukong laughed and said, "Nothing is wrong, I just thought of some amusing things and lost my composure."
The crowd exchanged glances, becoming even more worried.
This was entirely unlike Sun Wukong; his state seemed off.
Everyone asked for a while, and indeed, when they couldn’t ask anything more, they stopped saying anything.
Everyone left one by one, but before Guanyin Bodhisattva left, she secretly instructed the Dragon Girl to keep a good eye on the Great Saint to see if he had been invaded by Demonic Qi.
Lady Dragon of Wealth immediately panicked upon hearing this.
Once everyone had left, she immediately asked, "Great Saint, have you been invaded by Demonic Qi?"
"What?"
Lady Dragon of Wealth recounted Guanyin Bodhisattva’s advice.
Guanyin Bodhisattva, who was observing the place with Divine Thought, immediately face-palmed; this girl was hopeless.
The words she secretly instructed, how could she just spurt them out like this.
Sun Wukong was stunned and couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
"What are you all thinking? Is it that you look down on Old Sun, or look down on the Primordial Demonic Qi inside me? When it comes to Demonic Qi, Primordial Demonic Qi is of ancestral level, Old Sun isn’t afraid of Primordial Demonic Qi, so why would I fear the Demonic Qi of the mere Demon Realm?"
Lady Dragon of Wealth suddenly realized; she immediately understood that her concerns were groundless.
How could Sun Wukong, who tamed Primordial Demonic Qi, be affected by evil demonic energy? They were purely worrying unnecessarily.
Sun Wukong even directly used his mana to send his voice to every corner of Huaguo Mountain, making everyone cry and laugh simultaneously.
They had indeed overthought it; the phrase "concern leads to confusion" never seemed more apt.
In possessing Primordial Demonic Qi, they had forgotten this detail about Sun Wukong.
Primarily, they were not at all familiar with Primordial Demonic Qi, which led to such a misunderstanding.
Once everyone knew Sun Wukong was alright, they each went back to cultivating.
Even Ksitigarbha rarely ventured out, spending most of his time cultivating in Huaguo Mountain.
In the current Three Realms, a Sub-Paramount cannot be counted among the top powers; at least one must become a Supreme.
Sun Wukong had only rested a few days before he was ready to set off.
In three days, it would be time for the Nine Wastes to enter the Three Realms.
Yang Jian had already gone to Kunlun, receiving word from the Western King to have him go as well.
Nu Ba returned and, upon learning that Sun Wukong had ventured into the Demon Realm, her face turned pale with fright.
She blamed the others, wondering why they did not inform her.
If something had happened to Sun Wukong and she didn’t know, she felt she would be too negligent, unworthy of being one of the Mistresses of Huaguo Mountain.
"I’m sorry, sister, we didn’t intentionally hide it from you. We just didn’t want one more person worrying since we couldn’t help much."
Lady Dragon of Wealth stepped forward, tugged Nu Ba’s sleeve, and explained with a face full of apology.
Nu Ba glanced at Lady Dragon of Wealth, and her expression finally eased a bit.
She shook her head and said, "Let it go; I won’t argue with you all, understanding you’re doing it for my good."
Pausing here, she took Lady Dragon of Wealth’s hand gently and said, "Dragon Girl, you don’t have to be so cautious; you are one of the Mistresses of Huaguo Mountain naturally have the right to decide on some things. I do not blame you."
Hearing Nu Ba’s words, Lady Dragon of Wealth finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She gratefully said to Nu Ba, "Thank you, sister."
Nu Ba’s gaze fell on Sun Wukong, and with a smile on her lips, she said, "The Great Saint is going to Kunlun, and this time I must follow along. The Queen Mother of the West wants to become one of our sisters; it’s not that easy, it still requires both the Dragon Girl and me to agree. We can’t let her decide without us."
Everyone was shocked and quite surprised.
How could Nu Ba’s attitude change so drastically upon her return; she was entirely different, much more proactive, acting entirely like the lady of the house.
