Capítulo 1255: Chapter 401: Raising Gu
Not being able to invite the Monkey, Green Ox didn’t delay further and turned to rush towards the Doushuai Temple.
“Great Saint, why did you reject the Elder Lord’s invitation?”
Lady Dragon of Wealth couldn’t help but ask.
Sun Wukong sneered and said, “That old man is not straightforward. He doesn’t know what he’s up to every day, allowing Tian Hao to enter the Three Realms without completely vanquishing the Eastern Emperor Tai Yi. He clearly can handle Haotian himself without needing me, Old Sun, to intervene, yet he insists on me going to discuss. I, Old Sun, refuse to comply with his wishes.”
Understanding dawned upon the two.
“The Elder Lord’s actions are indeed unfathomable, and nobody knows what he’s thinking. However, Great Saint, don’t be too disrespectful to him. After all, he is a Creation Realm powerhouse. If he gets upset and acts against you, it won’t be good.”
Nu Ba said.
“Feign compliance while masking one’s true intentions is the best strategy.”
Lady Dragon of Wealth also spoke up.
Both women were offering advice to Sun Wukong.
Sun Wukong smiled and took their hands, saying, “Rest assured, I, Old Sun, have it under control, it won’t matter.”
Seeing him so confident, the two finally relaxed.
Within the Doushuai Temple, Lord Taishang had already sensed this.
He couldn’t help but shake his head; this Monkey was increasingly disregarding him.
However, his plan had already begun, so he didn’t mind much.
“Golden Horn, go and open the door for Green Ox.”
Golden Horn was standing aside, somewhat bored and drowsy.
Upon hearing Lord Taishang’s words, he shivered awake.
He quickly said, “Yes.”
Golden Horn opened the door for Green Ox, bringing him inside.
“Elder Lord, the Monkey wouldn’t agree.”
Green Ox said a bit angrily.
As the Elder Lord’s mount, it was the first time he was refused when delivering the Elder Lord’s decree, returning dejectedly.
The worst part was he didn’t dare to lash out and could only report back to the Elder Lord.
“I already know about this matter; you won’t be punished.”
Taishang Laojun said indifferently.
Green Ox breathed a sigh of relief, bowed to the Elder Lord, and left.
“Elder Lord, that Monkey is too ungrateful, you should teach him a lesson.”
Golden Horn said, very displeased.
“Fine, you and Silver Horn go to the Lower Realm and teach that Rascal Monkey a good lesson.”
Taishang Laojun chuckled.
Golden Horn’s face turned bitter, and he quickly pleaded for mercy.
With the strength of him and Silver Horn combined, they were no match for Sun Wukong.
If they really went to the Lower Realm to chastise Sun Wukong, they’d be the ones to get beaten.
“Don’t say such things in the future; be careful you don’t invite disaster upon yourself. If that Monkey hears this, do you think you two will have good days ahead?”
Hearing the Elder Lord’s words, Golden Horn’s face turned black.
If what he just said really reached that Monkey’s ears, that Monkey definitely wouldn’t spare him.
“Disciple understands.”
Golden Horn quickly said.
He retreated to the side, while Silver Horn glanced at his senior brother, not saying a single word from beginning to end.
The next day, Sun Wukong left Huaguo Mountain, taking Nu Ba and Lady Dragon of Wealth to the heavens.
“Great Saint, where are you off to? Care to join us?”
An Immortal passing by asked with a smile, filled with a fawning tone.
“Going to trouble the Elder Lord, do you want to come along? I, Old Sun, wouldn’t mind. Eh… why are you leaving, Deity of the Sun? Come along.”
In Sun Wukong’s call, the Deity of the Sun sped up.
“Haha.”
Sun Wukong’s laughter echoed in the Heavenly Realm.
Nu Ba gave Sun Wukong a look and said with a smile, “Great Saint, you’re simply too wicked. Which Immortal in this world doesn’t hold the Elder Lord as the supreme being in their hearts, the patriarch of the Daoists, yet you ask them to trouble the Elder Lord? It’s odd if they don’t flee.”
Sun Wukong shrugged and said with a smile, “He wanted to come along; I, Old Sun, didn’t ask him.”
Later, he encountered several more Immortals.
They were all very enthusiastic, but upon learning what Sun Wukong intended to do, they all fled from him.
They’re not like this lawless Monkey, daring to do anything.
Truly daring to trouble the Elder Lord, they’d definitely be slapped to death.
“Haha.”
On the way to Doushuai Temple, Sun Wukong’s laughter kept echoing.
Sun Wukong was extremely delighted; bullying those Immortals was just too much fun.
Lady Dragon of Wealth and Nu Ba both covered their mouths and laughed secretly; the Great Saint truly had a childlike heart, his happiness was so simple.
When Great Emperor Ziwei sensed this scene, he smiled.
“It seems the Elder Lord will suffer greatly again.”
Yang Jian spoke, with a smile on his face.
Great Emperor Ziwei laughed and said, “This Monkey is well aware, more than any of us, too well-measured; the Elder Lord is thoroughly outplayed by him.”
Yang Jian nodded, but also said, “It’s because the Elder Lord desires something, otherwise, he wouldn’t be manipulated by the Great Saint. The Great Saint has figured this out, which is why he’s acting so recklessly.”
They knew Sun Wukong too well.
Believing that Taishang Laojun also understood Sun Wukong, which is why he was willing to suffer this loss.
If Sun Wukong refused to take anything from him, on the contrary, it would be troubling.
This indicated that the Monkey wanted to sever ties with him completely, no longer accepting his offerings.
Even if they wouldn’t become enemies in the future, Sun Wukong would definitely not cooperate with him.
“What does the Elder Lord want to do?”
Great Emperor Ziwei suddenly asked.
Yang Jian’s eyes sparkled with Wisdom Light, gazing in the direction of Doushuai Temple.
“No one knows, not even the other two of the Three Pure Ones may fully know, Taishang Laojun’s thoughts are too deep to fathom.”
Hearing Yang Jian’s words, Great Emperor Ziwei showed a grave expression.
“Actually, I have a bold theory; perhaps Taishang Laojun wants the Three Realms to descend into chaos, then from within arises a powerful being or even a Creation Realm powerhouse, akin to the Jiuli Tribe nurturing worms, where the strongest living being becomes the Worm King.”
“What if we lose?” Yang Jian retorted.
“Restart from scratch, for deities, time is the least significant. They have ample time, even if the Three Realms are wiped out, it doesn’t matter. As long as they can leave, they can rebuild, reestablish another Three Realms, and continue their endeavors.”
Great Emperor Ziwei said solemnly.
His eyes gleamed brightly as he said, “If my theory is correct, next should be Haotian’s return, then the disappearance of the Three Pure Ones, ensuing chaos in the Three Realms. If we endure and emerge victorious, Taishang Laojun would have succeeded. If we fail, Taishang Laojun and the others will personally annihilate Haotian and the others, and start anew.”
Yang Jian gasped.
If that’s the case, it’s truly terrifying.
Even if they succeed, the living beings of the Three Realms would suffer immense casualties.
If they fail, even more living beings of the Three Realms would perish.
The Three Pure Ones simply don’t care about the casualties of the living beings in the Three Realms.
This is only Great Emperor Ziwei’s speculation, but for some reason, Yang Jian felt it had a significant possibility, perhaps even it’s the true intention of the Three Pure Ones.
