Chapter 1059: Chapter 321: The Feeling of Impending Doom
The Tenth Son of the Golden Crow was reborn and then went into closed-door cultivation.
He needed to familiarize himself with his current body and consolidate his present Dao Fruit.
His father painstakingly crafted such a perfect Divine Body for him.
If he doesn’t fully unearth the potential within this Divine Body, he would be letting his father down.
With this thought, a sharp light flashed in the eyes of the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow.
He began his secluded cultivation, familiarizing himself with the power of this body.
Not far away, the Eastern Emperor Tai Yi’s eyes flickered with a sharp light, and he appeared beside Emperor Jun.
“I sensed the aura of the Tenth Prince, hasn’t he been killed?”
The Eastern Emperor Tai Yi asked, a bit surprised in his expression.
He didn’t know how Emperor Jun managed it, as even he hadn’t detected any difference in the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow.
The Tenth Son of the Golden Crow who went was definitely the original body, he was clearly killed by Sun Wukong.
“I performed a technique on him in advance to preserve some of his souls, and just now I reshaped his true form.”
Emperor Jun nodded.
The Eastern Emperor Tai Yi showed an expression of admiration.
He lamented, “Elder Brother really has great means; all the gods across the Three Realms were fooled.”
Even he was deceived, let alone others.
Moreover, from the performance of Xihe and Changxi, it was evident that they too were not informed.
All along, the Eastern Emperor Tai Yi always felt that Emperor Jun was definitely not as reckless as he appeared on the surface. As a Heavenly Emperor who could replace the Haotian God, he undoubtedly also had deep foresight.
Looking at it now, he guessed correctly.
Emperor Jun is just such a person, seemingly reckless but with a deeply scheming mind.
One could discern a hint of this from this very battle.
Emperor Jun obviously made arrangements beforehand, not even informing his two wives.
Such profound scheming is truly terrifying.
Emperor Jun lightly smiled and said, “I don’t know what you are talking about. I was only worried about my last son’s life, so I made some arrangements. Any parent would do the same.”
The Eastern Emperor Tai Yi gave a faint smile and then his expression turned solemn as he said, “Elder Brother, we cannot get distracted by these minor concerns anymore. Starting now, we must begin dealing with The Three Pure Ones.”
He shifted the topic, not wanting to continue on this subject.
“How should we do it?”
Emperor Jun asked.
He also knew this was the most important issue at present.
They had returned, but had not yet truly established themselves in the Three Realms.
To have a qualification to contend with The Three Pure Ones, they must first establish and stabilize themselves.
“First, take the Western Continent.”
The Eastern Emperor Tai Yi stated.
Emperor Jun’s heart stirred, and his gaze fell on Mount Ling.
With a flicker of sharp light in his eyes, Emperor Jun said, “Don’t forget, taking the Western Continent means a confrontation with the Buddhist Sect. And now the Buddhist Sect belongs to the Heavenly Court. Aren’t you trying to win over future living beings? If you confront the Heavenly Court, how will you win over future living beings?”
The Eastern Emperor Tai Yi gave a faint smile and countered, “How does our strength compare to the Heavenly Court?”
“Naturally far stronger than the Heavenly Court.”
Emperor Jun said proudly.
Not to mention anything else, any one of the two of them possesses strength surpassing that of the Heavenly Court.
The Eastern Emperor Tai Yi laughed, “In that case, why should we befriend the Heavenly Court? What we need to win is the support of future living beings, even their vast telekinesis, rather than forming an alliance with the Heavenly Court. The Heavenly Court and The Three Pure Ones are inextricably linked. Even if it comes to a fallout, it’s better than getting too close with them.”
“So?”
Emperor Jun’s eyes flashed with a sharp light.
“Therefore, what we need to do is to win the hearts of future living beings. Once The Three Pure Ones feel that the future living beings are affecting them and act against them, no matter how good the relations between the Heavenly Court and them are, they will confront The Three Pure Ones.”
The Eastern Emperor Tai Yi was full of confidence.
Emperor Jun suddenly saw the light.
So, the Eastern Emperor Tai Yi aimed to take the Western Continent.
In order to win the hearts of future living beings and make them serve their purpose, they must first govern the future living beings.
The Western Continent is the first step. Next, they need to move toward other Continents.
As long as they capture all four main Continents, applying both favor and might, and make those living beings in the Mortal World revere them.
By then, the foundation of the Heavenly Court will be naturally severed, and The Three Pure Ones will harbor killing intent towards the future living beings for supporting them.
Thinking of this, Emperor Jun already understood the plan of the Eastern Emperor Tai Yi.
Unless The Three Pure Ones wage war against them after they have taken the Western Continent, it would absolutely be impossible to stop their actions.
And the Heavenly Court is incapable of stopping them, unable to achieve this point.
“Given the character of The Three Pure Ones, it’s unlikely they will go to war with us immediately. In this strategy, there is at least an eighty percent chance of success. The worst outcome is that The Three Pure Ones disregard everything and fight us to the death.”
Emperor Jun’s eyes glowed with a sharp light.
Looking at the Eastern Emperor Tai Yi, Emperor Jun lamented, “Tai Yi, if you had been my strategist back then, how could I have been schemed against by The Three Pure Ones? Perhaps I would have already turned the tables on them. But with you in the future, I do not need to worry anymore. I think with your strategy, it would be impossible for others to scheme against me.”
The Eastern Emperor Tai Yi’s expression stiffened; he heard another meaning in Emperor Jun’s words.
Emperor Jun wanted to recruit him as a strategist.
A cold light flickered in the eyes of the Eastern Emperor Tai Yi. As they are both Heavenly Emperors, with equivalent strength, why did the other have such an idea?
Ignoring Emperor Jun’s words, the Eastern Emperor Tai Yi lightly smiled and said, “In that case, let us proceed. Three days from now, we take the Western Continent. If the Buddhist Realm is willing to submit, we shall accept. If they are unwilling to submit nor willing to leave, then show no mercy.”
