Chapter 1094: Chapter 334: Great Advancement in Strength
The Immortal Official was dumbfounded. Although the title of Empress was a joke, it also indicated the relationship between the Great Sage and the Great Emperor Ziwei.
No wonder the Great Emperor Ziwei ignored him just now.
It was a matter between their own kin, and he was spouting nonsense on the side.
In any case, given the relationship between the Great Emperor Ziwei and Sun Wukong, he surely wouldn’t care about his attitude.
The Immortal Official was instantly crestfallen.
Sneering at him, Gold Star Taibai turned and left.
The other Immortal Officials also sneered. The official had recently been promoted and didn’t understand the relationship between the Great Sage Equal to Heaven and the Great Emperor Ziwei.
They eagerly anticipated getting the half-path Primordial Buddha Energy but dared not say anything.
It’s not that they didn’t want to say it, but they dared not to.
Given the relationship between the Great Sage and the Great Emperor Ziwei, unless they wanted to invite trouble for themselves.
In the end, the Immortal Official could only leave with a sense of loss.
He knew his days in the Three Realms would be difficult, and he might become a laughingstock.
"Your Majesty, it’s a pity that we didn’t slay Zhunti this time. I think it’s necessary to strike again."
Yang Jian said.
Great Emperor Ziwei didn’t answer him but asked, "Why do you think the Yuanshi Heavenly Venerate and others don’t care about Eastern Emperor Taiyi and the like, not even considering making a move?"
Yang Jian was slightly stunned, realizing that Great Emperor Ziwei wouldn’t say such words lightly.
Since he said it, there must be a hidden meaning.
He thought for a moment, then his eyes slightly brightened.
"In the eyes of the Three Pure Ones, Eastern Emperor Taiyi and his kind are not a threat; perhaps they do not intend to act against them, as they might still be useful."
Yang Jian said in a deep voice.
Looking approvingly at Yang Jian, Great Emperor Ziwei smiled and said, "I think so too. Maybe in the plan of the Three Pure Ones, these two Heavenly Emperors are not a threat."
Yang Jian’s expression darkened, and he frowned, contemplating the words of Great Emperor Ziwei.
Soon, Yang Jian looked at Great Emperor Ziwei and said, "But even if they are not a threat to the Three Pure Ones, they are a threat to our Heavenly Court. The Three Pure Ones may disregard them, treating them as insignificant, even tools, but we cannot."
Great Emperor Ziwei nodded slightly, saying, "I understand what you mean. Although the Three Pure Ones have connections with the Heavenly Court, they ultimately do not represent the will of the Heavenly Court."
Yang Jian nodded slightly, indicating he meant just that.
After thinking for a bit, Great Emperor Ziwei said, "Let’s watch and see, and don’t take any action against Zhunti for now; observe any subsequent changes."
"What if Emperor Jun and the others try to expand their sphere of influence?"
Yang Jian asked.
This was the most important matter.
If Emperor Jun and the others wanted to expand their power, it wouldn’t be about whether they wanted to act or not.
Upon hearing Yang Jian’s words, Great Emperor Ziwei sneered and said, "If they dare to have such thoughts, then fight back against them."
His eyes flickered with cold light, showing no room for compromise on this point.
Yang Jian immediately understood. He nodded and said, "In that case, let’s watch and wait for the next changes."
He agreed with Great Emperor Ziwei’s decision to wait and see.
Mainly because the current strength of the Heavenly Court is not enough to match the two Heavenly Emperors, it needs time to recuperate and boost its power.
A confrontation now wouldn’t benefit the Heavenly Court.
Although Zhunti was not slain this time, it served as a warning to Zhunti and Emperor Jun.
In the future, others who want to ally with Emperor Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi will have to think carefully.
This time, Zhunti was rescued, but he lost the Root of Immortality.
For a Supreme being not as powerful as Zhunti, they might have been killed already.
How many Supremes could stand against the alliance of Sun Wukong and Yang Jian?
And Sun Wukong arrived in the Western Continent.
"Monkey, you’re here."
Tianpeng came up to greet him, very pleased.
Amitabha Buddha and Tathagata Buddha also came to greet him.
They knew the Heavenly Court intended to kill Zhunti, thinking Sun Wukong was here to take action.
"Is the Great Sage going to kill Zhunti? If so, let’s set off now; with Rulai and me working together, there’s a chance to capture Zhunti,"
Amitabha Buddha said proactively.
Compared to Tathagata Buddha, his genuine acknowledgment of the Heavenly Court couldn’t have been feigned.
Tathagata Buddha glanced at Amitabha Buddha, slightly nodding, "With the three of us joining forces, while we may not necessarily slay Zhunti, we could indeed teach him a lesson, as Zhunti possesses the Root of Immortality and is not that easy to kill."
Hearing Tathagata Buddha’s words, Sun Wukong chuckled.
He shook his head and said, "There’s no need, Yang Jian and I have already made our move."
At these words, everyone was surprised.
They looked at Sun Wukong, curious about the outcome of the battle.
There shouldn’t be any problem for Sun Wukong and Yang Jian. Zhunti may have an undying body, making him hard to kill, but that doesn’t mean Zhunti’s power is formidable.
It wouldn’t be difficult for Sun Wukong and Yang Jian to suppress Zhunti.
Was Zhunti killed? They were all curious.
Especially Amitabha Buddha and Tathagata Buddha, they were the same.
They somewhat hoped Zhunti would be gotten rid of, after all, no one likes a traitor.
However, they also somewhat hoped Zhunti would not be killed, as he was a major figure in the Buddhist Realm.
Moreover, Zhunti wasn’t acting entirely for himself.
His alliance with Emperor Jun indicates he has no faith in the Heavenly Court.
If the Heavenly Court truly fell, their Buddhist Realm’s legacy could be maintained.
In this regard, what he did wasn’t entirely wrong.
After all, Zhunti betrayed not the Buddhist Realm but the Heavenly Court.
