Chapter 1091: Chapter 332: Half-Path Primordial Buddha Energy (Part 2)
Then, that person retreated, disappearing from sight.
"Eastern Emperor Tai Yi."
Sun Wukong gritted his teeth and said.
He had already sensed the identity of the newcomer, it was none other than Eastern Emperor Tai Yi.
Only this Heavenly Emperor possessed the power to rescue someone from their hands.
Zhunti had been trapped in the Evil Pot, and yet he forcibly extracted Zhunti.
"It’s him, indeed worthy of being the Heavenly Emperor, truly formidable and awe-inspiring."
Yang Jian sighed with admiration.
He was genuinely taken aback.
The power of Eastern Emperor Tai Yi far exceeded his imagination.
He hadn’t expected that the grand Eastern Emperor could be so powerful.
Great Emperor Ziwei’s strength is now also quite impressive, but compared to the true Heavenly Emperor, there’s a vast difference.
No wonder Shao Siming once said that Great Emperor Ziwei was the weakest Heavenly Emperor in history.
He wasn’t wrong at all with that statement.
Sun Wukong said angrily: "What about the Heavenly Emperor? Daring to meddle in Old Sun’s business, sooner or later he’ll be beaten to death."
He was very angry, as the duck he had in his mouth flew away.
They were just about to kill Zhunti, when suddenly Eastern Emperor Tai Yi appeared and rescued Zhunti.
What puzzled Sun Wukong was how Eastern Emperor Tai Yi found their location.
This place had been chosen by him and Yang Jian, known only to the two of them.
Yang Jian patted Sun Wukong’s shoulder, indicating him not to overthink it.
Although they failed to kill Zhunti, it’s likely that Zhunti received a massive lesson from this incident.
In the future, whenever Zhunti recalls today’s experience, he would probably shiver.
This was probably the closest he came to death.
"Huh, what’s that?"
At this moment, Yang Jian asked in surprise.
Sun Wukong glanced over, showing a look of surprise as a Buddha’s Light appeared before him.
Sun Wukong reached out and grabbed it, a realization dawned in his heart.
This is Primordial Buddha Qi, although only half of it.
Sun Wukong’s heart skipped a beat; Zhunti was rescued, but the Primordial Buddha Qi was left behind.
His so-called Undying Body actually relied on half a piece of Primordial Buddha Qi.
Now that the Primordial Buddha Qi disappeared, he’s just like any other Supreme.
The Primordial Demonic Qi trembled slightly, conveying an emotion of pride to Sun Wukong’s mind.
Sun Wukong immediately felt a stirring in his heart, and he quickly asked: "Did you leave this behind?"
Buzz.
Sun Wukong smiled and immediately praised: "Good, well done, I never thought you would actually be of some use."
If the Primordial Demonic Qi had a face, it would surely be dark at this moment.
What did Sun Wukong mean just now? That it was useless before?
Men are indeed no good, forgetting everything once they’ve used someone.
When he was absorbing its Mana earlier, he didn’t seem to think it was useless.
Moreover, speaking of which, the Primordial Demonic Qi had saved Sun Wukong before.
Back in the Netherworld, when Jade Emperor struck Sun Wukong fatally, if not for the Root of Immortality, he would already be a dead man.
Even though Sun Wukong has an Immortal Body, compared to Jade Emperor, their strength difference is too great.
"This is Primordial Buddha Qi? I heard that Amitabha and Zhunti split a Root of Immortality, it should be this Primordial Buddha Qi, I didn’t expect it to look like this."
Yang Jian sighed.
Sun Wukong grabbed the half piece of Primordial Buddha Qi and handed it to Yang Jian.
"It’s yours."
Yang Jian shook his head and said: "I don’t train in Buddhist Dharma, this thing is useless to me. If you’re willing, give it to Amitabha Buddha. If he has the whole Root of Immortality, his strength will surely soar, and we will have another great master on our side."
Sun Wukong gave Yang Jian a surprised look and couldn’t help saying in astonishment: "Aren’t you worried that Zhunti will become too powerful and hard to control in the future?"
Yang Jian laughed heartily, exuding boundless pride.
"If given time, what about The Three Pure Ones? One Amitabha Buddha hasn’t reached a level that I fear; even if he becomes stronger, if he dares to betray, I’m confident I can kill him."
He was very confident, having absolute faith in his strength and talent.
"Besides, with the Great Saint, the two of us united, in a matter of days, how many in this world could stand against us? What chaos couldn’t we suppress?"
Yang Jian said proudly.
He was usually composed, modest, and courteous.
But at this moment, he was as sharp as can be, extremely proud.
Sun Wukong knew well that only in front of him would Yang Jian show this sort of arrogance.
They had a very good relationship, truly life-and-death brothers.
"Brother speaks true. In that case, this half piece of Primordial Buddha Qi will go to Amitabha Buddha."
Sun Wukong stored the Primordial Buddha Qi away.
This time wasn’t entirely fruitless; although they didn’t kill Zhunti, they came close to it.
In fact, even the Primordial Buddha Qi was lost.
Thinking on it, even though Zhunti was rescued, his Vital Energy would surely be severely wounded, and his strength would decline.
Outside, Zhunti’s face was pale.
He knew he lost the Primordial Buddha Qi, which was crucial for his strength ascent, and his reliance.
But now the Primordial Buddha Qi was gone, though his strength was unaffected, his future training and his safety net of Undying Body were gone.
In the future, Zhunti would be no different from an ordinary Supreme.
He glanced at Eastern Emperor Tai Yi but found himself unable to say anything.
Could he really blame Eastern Emperor Tai Yi for leaving the Primordial Buddha Qi behind?
The other party saved him, which was already a great kindness.
Any more demands would be excessive.
As a Supreme, perhaps each has their own considerations, but definitely aren’t foolish.
Unnecessary thoughts, he would not have.
"Thank you, Your Majesty Eastern Emperor Tai Yi, for saving this humble monk."
Zhunti thanked Eastern Emperor Tai Yi.
Eastern Emperor Tai Yi gave a faint smile and said: "No need to stand on ceremony, it’s what I should do. You’ve pledged yourself to me and Emperor Jun; I cannot, like Emperor Jun, simply discard you without a rescue."
"What? Emperor Jun abandoned this humble monk?"
Zhunti’s entire body shook, looking at Eastern Emperor Tai Yi.
Although he expressed doubt, deep down he was certain.
Because, Eastern Emperor Tai Yi’s words were very easy to verify.
Furthermore, such provocation would bring Eastern Emperor Tai Yi no benefit if it were false.
For a Supreme being, he saw no need to offend Emperor Jun.
Eastern Emperor Tai Yi said calmly: "You shouldn’t be surprised either, Emperor Jun is known for being heartless and unkind, abandoning you isn’t unexpected. You only just joined his camp; could you really expect him to clash head-on with the Heavenly Court for your sake?"
Zhunti remained silent.
He knew very well that Eastern Emperor Tai Yi’s words, though unpleasant, were true.
Zhunti’s eyes had a complex look as he stared at Eastern Emperor Tai Yi and asked: "Then why did the Eastern Emperor rescue this humble monk?"
Eastern Emperor Tai Yi’s eyes flashed, and he smiled faintly, saying: "I am not like Emperor Jun. Although you didn’t originally pledge allegiance to me, you are ultimately on our side. I also know that if I save you, you’ll become my subordinate. Why not? A Supreme powerhouse is a valuable asset for any major faction."
Eastern Emperor Tai Yi spoke candidly, revealing his true thoughts.
"I am different from Emperor Jun. Emperor Jun can be heartless to anyone, but I am only heartless to enemies. I am very loyal and affectionate to those on my side, as you should see."
Eastern Emperor Tai Yi continued.
Zhunti’s gaze flickered, his expression complex.
He stared at Eastern Emperor Tai Yi, his lips moving slightly.
"If I pledge allegiance to Your Majesty, will it bring trouble to Your Majesty?"
Zhunti meant that he was worried Emperor Jun would confront Eastern Emperor Tai Yi.
This consideration was already thinking on behalf of Eastern Emperor Tai Yi.
Upon hearing this, Eastern Emperor Tai Yi smiled.
He shook his head and said: "You don’t need to worry about that. Emperor Jun’s strength isn’t greater than mine; I merely let him have his way a little in usual matters. If he dares to make trouble, I am not afraid of him."
Only then did Zhunti bow and solemnly announce: "This subordinate greets Your Majesty."
Eastern Emperor Tai Yi helped Zhunti up, smiling, having finally gained another Supreme subordinate.
