Chapter 1093: Chapter 333: Out of His Mind_2
The Senior Commander-in-Chief was startled and quickly said: "I wouldn’t dare."
Glancing at the Senior Commander-in-Chief, the Eastern Emperor Tai Yi chuckled softly.
He could not help himself but said: "Although we are sovereign and minister, we are more like brothers. Why be so tense? If you surpass me in strength, I would only be pleased."
Zhunti, on the side, exclaimed: "Your Majesty’s magnanimity is unparalleled. I am in awe."
He was thoroughly convinced.
To those who do not submit to him, the Eastern Emperor Tai Yi is genuinely ruthless.
However, to those around him, he is exceedingly generous.
Even Zhunti had to acknowledge this fact.
Allying with the Eastern Emperor Tai Yi was indeed very wise.
The Senior Commander-in-Chief revealed a grin and said: "Zhunti, you’ll soon come to know the benefits of following His Majesty."
He was not exaggerating at all; he truly admired and acknowledged the Eastern Emperor Tai Yi.
Above in the Heavenly Court, Yang Jian came to report.
"How is Zhunti?"
The Great Emperor Ziwei had also returned and asked Yang Jian.
Yang Jian sighed softly and said: "Your Majesty, just as the Great Sage and I were about to kill Zhunti, the Eastern Emperor Tai Yi intervened and rescued him."
The Great Emperor Ziwei’s heart sank, and he immediately asked: "Were either of you injured?"
He was somewhat tense, worried the two might be hurt.
As for whether Zhunti was dead, that was not important.
As long as Sun Wukong and Yang Jian were unharmed, that was enough.
Hearing the Great Emperor Ziwei’s words, Yang Jian smiled and said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the Great Sage and I are fine. Zhunti was no match for our joint attack, and as for the Eastern Emperor Tai Yi, he left immediately after rescuing Zhunti without attacking us."
The Great Emperor Ziwei let out a sigh of relief.
He smiled and said: "As long as you two are all right, it’s fine. Whether Zhunti is dead or not is inconsequential."
This was his heartfelt sentiment, thinking little of Zhunti.
Sun Wukong chuckled: "Zhunti indeed did not die, but he is not better off; he lost something."
"What?"
Seeing Sun Wukong with a smug expression, the Great Emperor Ziwei was immediately curious.
One had to know that whatever the item was, it was extremely important and precious to Zhunti.
Otherwise, Sun Wukong would not display such an expression.
Sun Wukong took out the Half-Path Primordial Buddha Energy.
Those who recognized this were involuntarily shocked.
They finally understood why Sun Wukong was so smug.
Losing such an item was more painful than killing Zhunti.
Zhunti’s reliance on his Undying Body was because of this item.
But now he had lost the Half-Path Primordial Buddha Energy.
"This Primordial Buddha Energy can be kept to reward those who make significant contributions to the Heavenly Court in the future."
Immediately, an Immortal Official spoke up with this suggestion.
They actually very much desired this Half-Path Primordial Buddha Energy.
If they could obtain the Root of Immortality and refine it, they too would possess the Undying Body.
Furthermore, due to the Root of Immortality, their strength would advance by leaps and bounds, becoming true powerhouses in the Three Realms, becoming Supremes.
So, everyone had high expectations for the Primordial Buddha Energy.
The Great Emperor Ziwei ignored the Immortal Official and instead asked Sun Wukong: "Wukong, how do you think we should deal with this Primordial Buddha Energy?"
This was Sun Wukong’s trophy; the Great Emperor Ziwei knew that well.
No one could possibly act on his behalf without his consent.
Therefore, it had to be Sun Wukong’s decision.
Knowing Sun Wukong’s character, he had likely already found a recipient for this Half-Path Primordial Buddha Energy.
"Give it to Amitabha Buddha. He has Half-Path Primordial Buddha Energy; this will complete it."
Sun Wukong said.
The Great Emperor Ziwei was slightly stunned, clearly not expecting Sun Wukong to suggest giving the Primordial Buddha Energy to Amitabha Buddha.
The latter belonged to the Buddhist Realm, even if currently loyal to the Heavenly Court, could he truly be loyal in heart?
The Great Emperor Ziwei saw Sun Wukong’s earnest expression and could not help but laugh.
Even Sun Wukong wasn’t worried, so what was there for him to worry about?
Has this monkey ever suffered losses?
Unless he encounters an entirely irresistible force, otherwise, he has never seen Sun Wukong suffer losses.
Thinking of this, the Great Emperor Ziwei said: "Alright, as you suggested, this Half-Path Primordial Buddha Qi will be given to Amitabha Buddha."
Although Sun Wukong knew the Great Emperor Ziwei would agree, he hadn’t expected him to agree so straightforwardly.
Sun Wukong chuckled and said: "You won’t regret this decision, Amitabha Buddha is a reasonable person. Giving him this Half-Path Primordial Buddha Qi, he absolutely won’t betray the Heavenly Court in the future."
Sun Wukong didn’t give it to the Tathagata Buddha because he thought the Tathagata Buddha was too insatiable.
If the Tathagata Buddha were to rise, the most likely scenario is that he would become their enemy.
Whereas Amitabha Buddha knows reason, he has ambition, but it isn’t overly large.
So, it’s best to give this Half-Path Primordial Buddha Qi to Amitabha Buddha.
"Your Majesty and Great Saint, please reconsider, the Primordial Buddha Qi involves great stakes, how can it be easily given to outsiders? It should be given to a strong figure within our Heavenly Court."
An Immortal Official said, quite dissatisfied.
As soon as he finished speaking, others chimed in.
"Indeed, that Buddhist Realm has always had ambitions, we cannot raise a tiger and invite trouble. Amitabha Buddha and others siding with us might be false intentions. Please, Your Majesty and Great Saint, reconsider, we must defend against these outsiders."
"Yes, Great Saint, doing this will dishearten the Immortal Officials of the Heavenly Court. What contributions has Amitabha Buddha made to the Three Realms? Why treat him this way?"
"Great Saint, could it be you have some hidden intentions?"
The final remark is truly malicious.
Sun Wukong’s expression remained unchanged, he simply swept his cold gaze over them.
He calmly said: "Old Sun is willing."
A simple five-word phrase instantly shut everyone up.
Those Immortal Officials were left speechless.
No matter what they said, nothing could block Sun Wukong’s simple willingness.
This was something Sun Wukong had fought for, naturally, he had the authority to handle it.
Someone wanted to speak again, but Sun Wukong’s gaze instantly fell upon that Immortal Official.
Immediately, that Immortal Official closed his mouth.
From Sun Wukong’s eyes, he felt a sense of threat.
If he didn’t want to die, he should simply shut up.
This was Sun Wukong’s meaning, they dared not speak any further.
Nowadays, this monkey was not like before, his power has advanced to an astonishing degree, not just anyone can provoke him.
Furthermore, the relationship between Sun Wukong and the Great Emperor Ziwei made them dare not have any disregard for Sun Wukong.
"In the future, you all don’t need to interfere in Old Sun’s matters. I’m just discussing with Ziwei, not asking for your opinions."
Those Immortal Officials were as quiet as cicadas in winter, some felt Sun Wukong was too overbearing and wanted to protest, but upon meeting Sun Wukong’s gaze, they immediately gave up.
They also knew that, at this moment, Sun Wukong was someone they absolutely couldn’t afford to offend.
Sun Wukong walked away from the Heavenly Court with ostentation, ignoring those Immortal Officials’ somewhat angry gazes.
Some people just couldn’t grasp their position, wanting to make a scene.
For those people, Sun Wukong simply didn’t know what politeness meant.
Seeing Sun Wukong leave, an Immortal Official couldn’t help but stand up and said to the Great Emperor Ziwei: "Your Majesty, the Great Sage Equalling Heaven is too domineering, completely disregarding the Heavenly Court and Your Majesty. Please punish the Great Sage Equalling Heaven."
The Great Emperor Ziwei glanced at him and said blandly: "You can leave now."
That Immortal Official’s body trembled, he suddenly looked up, somewhat disbelievingly staring at the Great Emperor Ziwei.
"What does Your Majesty mean?"
The Immortal Official’s voice was somewhat hoarse, quite nervous.
He didn’t quite understand, did he say something wrong?
Even if His Majesty favors Sun Wukong, does it need to be so obvious?
The Great Emperor Ziwei didn’t say anything, turned, and left.
This kind of person wasn’t necessary to keep.
Seeing the Great Emperor Ziwei leave, that Immortal Official felt cold all over, he slumped down knowing he was finished.
Being expelled from the Heavenly Court, his future in the Three Realms would likely be difficult.
However, he didn’t understand where his mistake lay.
Gold Star Taibai saw his state and reminded: "You actually impeached the Great Saint, the Great Saint has a title known as Emperor Consort, though it’s a jest among everyone, it also shows how close his relationship is with His Majesty. Asking His Majesty to punish the Great Saint, what were you thinking?"
