Chapter 1242: Chapter 388: The Heavenly Court Belongs to Both Him and Me
After giving Martial King a deep look, Eastern King took a breath and said, “I hope you’re not deceiving me.”
Martial King patted his chest and said with a smile, “Of course I wouldn’t deceive you, given the relationship between us.”
Only then did Eastern King turn around and hurry outside.
At the same time, he transmitted a message to Martial King, instructing him to begin the migration immediately.
After the migration, he wanted Martial King to go in and find Sun Wukong instantly.
Martial King smiled brightly but nodded in agreement.
He seemed completely unworried, certain that Sun Wukong would be fine.
Seeing this, Eastern King felt slightly reassured.
If Martial King wasn’t so certain, he would never have trusted him.
But seeing Martial King’s expression, Eastern King believed him.
Meng Tianhuo transmitted a message, “Is the Endless Abyss really not dangerous anymore?”
After glancing at Meng Tianhuo, Martial King’s gaze turned slightly sharp.
“I was deceiving him, otherwise, do you think he would let us enter the Three Realms? He would definitely wait until we found that Sun Wukong and then agree to let us enter the Three Realms.”
“Actually, this doesn’t conflict with anything,”
Meng Tianhuo was perplexed.
If they rescued Sun Wukong, the Heavenly Court would owe them a favor.
At that time, their treatment upon entering the Three Realms would be different.
Meng Wu chuckled bitterly, wondering why this descendant was so straightforward.
He explained, “It’s not that I don’t want to rescue that Sun Wukong, but after the coffin escaped, it became at least several times more dangerous inside. Even if I went in, it’s likely I wouldn’t come out. If Eastern King knew this, do you think we could still enter the Three Realms? He would definitely force me to go in first and find that Sun Wukong.”
Meng Tianhuo gasped sharply.
He finally understood why his ancestor didn’t want to do it that way, insisting on entering the Three Realms first; it was because of this reason.
His eyes flickered, and he no longer dared to ask further questions.
However, Meng Tianhuo was still worried.
Even if they entered the Three Realms, if they couldn’t find Sun Wukong, Great Emperor Ziwei and the others might hold Kunlun Ruins accountable.
Of course, at that point, there was one less thing to worry about: they were already in the Three Realms and didn’t have to worry about the Heavenly Court blocking their entry.
Perhaps, this was what the ancestor had considered in every aspect.
Eastern King’s eyes fell on Meng Wu, always feeling something was off.
However, he didn’t have time to think much about it.
Primarily, his confidence in Sun Wukong’s strength was considerable.
Even if Sun wasn’t a match for the dangers within, killing Sun Wukong wouldn’t be easy.
With Sun Wukong’s skills and his immortal body coupled with the Root of Immortality, killing him wouldn’t be something that could be achieved quickly.
This was why Eastern King felt something was wrong but did not act.
Once the living beings of the Nine Wastes entered the Three Realms, they would be subjected to control.
If something really happened to Sun Wukong, at that time, questioning the Nine Wastes would prevent them from escaping accountability.
Moreover, Sun Wukong entered by himself, so strictly speaking, it had little to do with the Nine Wastes.
Holding the Nine Wastes accountable would simply be venting anger.
The migration was moved up by three days; when Yang Jian and the others learned what Sun Wukong had done, they were both amused and exasperated.
However, they didn’t doubt Eastern King’s words.
This was the kind of thing Sun Wukong would do.
If he hadn’t done it, it would actually be strange.
“Since that’s the case, accelerate the migration. Once everything is in place, we’ll have Martial King and Eastern King join forces to find the Great Saint. If that doesn’t work, I can ask Great Emperor Ziwei and Lord Taishang to intervene.”
Yang Jian said solemnly.
Martial King was momentarily shaken.
He didn’t expect Sun Wukong’s troubles would even prompt an intervention from Lord Taishang.
It seemed he had underestimated Sun Wukong.
Yang Jian returned directly to the Heavenly Palace, leaving the migration oversight to Eastern King.
Meanwhile, he personally informed Great Emperor Ziwei of Sun Wukong’s whereabouts.
Great Emperor Ziwei was also greatly startled upon hearing the news.
However, he wasn’t all that surprised; this was something the monkey would do.
On impulse, disregarding the consequences, acting recklessly.
“I shall go to the Endless Abyss and see for myself,”
Great Emperor Ziwei said.
He had finally achieved the genuine Heavenly Emperor realm, possessing formidable strength, fearing nothing.
Apart from the Three Pure Ones, no one in the world could suppress him.
Thus, Great Emperor Ziwei was increasingly confident.
He believed that even if Sun Wukong stumbled into the Endless Abyss, he could find him.
As for the dangers within the Endless Abyss, Great Emperor Ziwei wasn’t too concerned.
Upon learning that Great Emperor Ziwei was personally coming, Martial King was shocked.
At the same time, Martial King sensed Great Emperor Ziwei’s power.
A true Heavenly Emperor, whom one could describe as peerless.
They exchanged glances, feeling each other’s powerful auras.
However, Martial King voluntarily restrained his qi and saluted Great Emperor Ziwei.
“Greetings, Ziwei Heavenly Venerate.”
The Nine Wastes’ entry into the Three Realms was undoubtedly subject to its governance.
The ruler of the Three Realms was the Heavenly Court.
As the master of the Heavenly Court, Great Emperor Ziwei governed the Three Realms.
If they didn’t please the master of the Three Realms, their future days would be difficult.
“No need for formality, Martial King, you are a senior. Though I’m the Heavenly Emperor, I’m also a cultivator. You may address me as the Great Heavenly Venerate, no need to salute,”
Great Emperor Ziwei said.
Telling Martial King not to salute was a sign of respect toward his status as a senior.
However, having Martial King call him Great Heavenly Venerate was because Great Emperor Ziwei remained the Supreme of the Three Realms, representing the grandeur of the Heavenly Court, which was indispensable.
“Thank you, Your Majesty.”
Martial King sighed in relief.
The Heavenly Emperor was not as difficult to deal with as he had imagined.
This way, he felt reassured.
“I’ve come this time for Wukong. Why don’t you accompany me to rescue him?”
Great Emperor Ziwei said.
Martial King was startled again, surprised that Great Emperor Ziwei valued Sun Wukong so highly.
Could Eastern King have spoken truthfully about the close relationship between Sun Wukong and Great Emperor Ziwei?
“The Great Heavenly Venerate truly has a good relationship with him,”
Martial King remarked.
Glancing at Martial King, Great Emperor Ziwei said solemnly, “Without Wukong, I might have been schemed against to death—I owe becoming the Supreme of the Three Realms to Wukong, naturally. If he wanted, I’d even give him the position of master of the Heavenly Court.”
Hearing this, Martial King’s heart sank.
He prayed that Sun Wukong wouldn’t get into trouble; otherwise, things would escalate dramatically.
