Chapter 1236: Chapter 382: Two Heavenly Emperors
Guangcheng Zi sneered. Seeing Sun Wukong hesitant to fight, he knew Sun Wukong lacked confidence and realized he wasn’t his match.
“Guangcheng Zi, what are you bragging about? If the Great Saint had reached the Supreme Realm, would you still dare challenge him? You’d surely be beaten up. Even if you don’t call him Little Master Uncle now, you will have to in the near future.”
The Queen Mother spoke, siding with Sun Wukong.
Everyone knew that Sun Wukong was now the nominal male host of Kunlun, and as the female host, the Queen Mother naturally had to speak up for her “man.”
Guangcheng Zi’s face darkened.
He didn’t retort.
The possibility the Queen Mother mentioned absolutely existed and was even quite likely.
With Sun Wukong’s current performance, once he ascends to Supreme, he’d be the strongest below the Heavenly Emperor.
With Guangcheng Zi’s strength, he naturally wouldn’t be crushed by Sun Wukong.
But more than likely, he truly wasn’t Sun Wukong’s opponent.
Thinking of this, Guangcheng Zi fell silent, feeling quite depressed.
“Great Saint, please take your seat.”
The Queen Mother beckoned.
The place she pointed to was the main seat, and the implication was very clear.
Sun Wukong hesitated for a moment but felt someone push him from behind.
He knew it was Nu Ba’s intention, urging him to sit there.
In the end, Sun Wukong went over and took the main seat.
Seeing this scene, even Guangcheng Zi showed a look of envy.
The Queen Mother of the West, the head of the female immortals in the Three Realms, was always synonymous with nobility, awe, and beauty.
But now she was enamored with a monkey, which made people envious and even a bit jealous.
Immortals are still human; though they claim to have cut off the seven emotions and six desires, it’s just talk.
Even Buddhas have desires; otherwise, why the saying that one thought can lead to either Buddhahood or demonhood.
The only one who can truly achieve the Taishang’s unfeeling might be Lord Taishang himself.
Nu Ba also took her seat, sitting with the Queen Mother on either side of Sun Wukong.
Both of them were noble and beautiful, yet not the least bit mundane.
The Queen Mother was majestic and radiant, giving an impression of being lofty and untouchable.
Nu Ba was noble and beautiful, possessing a heroism different from other women, attributed to her role as a warrior of the Human Race.
As a renowned warrior of the Human Race, who once helped the Yellow Emperor in his battle against Chi You, Nu Ba certainly wasn’t of a weak disposition.
After settling in, Sun Wukong finally spoke.
“Eastern King, have you come, worried about any unforeseen events?”
The Eastern King wore a smile, but after hearing Sun Wukong’s question, his expression became grave.
Nodding slightly, the Eastern King said, “Indeed, the Martial King is a person of deep schemes. I can’t quite understand why he entered the Three Realms so many years early, and I worry about unexpected incidents, so I’ve come to keep an eye on things.”
With his strength as the Eastern King, even if unexpected incidents occur, he is more than capable of holding back the Martial King.
Sun Wukong nodded slightly, then turned to Yang Jian: “Brother, how is Ziwei progressing with his cultivation now?”
Everyone was intrigued and showed a listening look.
They were all quite curious about the cultivation level of the Great Emperor Ziwei.
In recent years, the Great Emperor Ziwei has been keeping a low profile, rarely appearing before the living beings of the Three Realms.
Even if he appeared, he rarely displayed his strength.
It was known that the Great Emperor Ziwei was diligently cultivating, aiming to reach the strength of a Heavenly Emperor.
Thus, many matters of the Heavenly Court were handled by Yang Jian and other important immortal officials.
As for the Great Emperor Ziwei, he hardly involved himself in the affairs of the Three Realms.
Everyone was curious about his current strength.
If the Great Emperor Ziwei attained Heavenly Emperor strength, the Heavenly Court would undergo a significant transformation.
As the Supreme of the Three Realms, possessing the strength of a Heavenly Emperor would be true to his title, and he would no longer be criticized as the weakest Heavenly Emperor.
Yang Jian smiled and said, “He’s succeeded.”
Everyone was taken aback, all showing expressions of delight.
The Great Emperor Ziwei becoming a Heavenly Emperor was indeed wonderful news.
From now on, the supreme of the Three Realms would have genuine Heavenly Emperor battle prowess, along with the Eastern King, another powerhouse at the Heavenly Emperor level.
With two Heavenly Emperors joining forces and a myriad of strong subordinates, the Heavenly Court’s strength has now surpassed any Divine Dynasty.
“Haha, great! That old scoundrel Ziwei didn’t disappoint this Old Sun. Now this Old Sun feels even more assured.”
Sun Wukong laughed heartily.
Yang Jian also smiled.
The Heavenly Court was something they witnessed grow stronger, something they had personally built.
Now that the Heavenly Court had finally reached this stage, its power and influence could shake ancient history and dominate the Three Realms.
It felt like watching their own child grow up.
Yang Jian and Sun Wukong both felt a sense of fulfillment and were quite excited.
Only Guangcheng Zi muttered something to himself, seemingly not too pleased.
He was, after all, Taishang Laojun’s disciple, and Guangcheng Zi was well aware that once the Heavenly Court’s strength grew stronger, it would certainly threaten the Three Pure Ones’ control over the Three Realms.
This was a situation the Three Pure Ones might not be willing to see.
The Eastern King glanced at Guangcheng Zi and laughed, saying, “Ziwei becoming Supreme is truly something to celebrate. With the Nine Wastes, I now feel assured. If the Martial King dares to stir up trouble, we could just eliminate him.”
At this moment, the Eastern King’s aura was overwhelmingly imposing.
Sun Wukong’s eyes shimmered, recognizing this Eastern King was what the Martial King referred to, as one of the Twelve Kings of the strongest realm.
Everyone felt relieved and fairly relaxed.
“However, make sure not to tell anyone about the emperor becoming a Heavenly Emperor. Just us knowing is enough. Maybe it’ll catch enemies off guard in the future.”
Yang Jian said with a smile.
To him, everyone here was a trusted ally.
Even Guangcheng Zi, though a student of Laojun, shared major goals with the Three Pure Ones and the Heavenly Court.
Moreover, the Three Pure Ones wouldn’t irresponsibly spread word about the Great Emperor Ziwei becoming Supreme.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Heavenly Emperor-level strength could play a decisive role in any major battle.
Even a Creation Realm powerhouse couldn’t ignore the threat of a Heavenly Emperor.
Everyone chatted and laughed as Bluebird arranged the banquet.
Jadescent Nectar was served, along with various rare treasures, all exceedingly hard to find in the world.
Even peaches of immortality were available as palate cleansers for everyone to enjoy.
Sun Wukong felt a bit of heartache, unable to resist transmitting a message to the Queen Mother.
“That’s enough. Such good peaches should be kept for ourselves. Letting them eat them is such a waste.”
Monkeys love eating peaches; it’s in their nature, even Sun Wukong can’t change that.
Remembering he’s now Kunlun’s nominal male host, it pained him.
The Queen Mother smiled slightly, transmitting back, “Great Saint, don’t worry. I have ways to accelerate the ripening of peaches. Though it requires using some rare treasures, as long as it’s the Great Saint who wishes to eat them, it’ll be no problem.”
Hearing this, Sun Wukong finally felt at ease.
