Chapter 1063: Chapter 322: No Concession of Land_3
Sun Wukong was listening on the side, not intending to speak.
But he saw the Great Emperor Ziwei address him.
Sun Wukong thought for a moment, then said: "Comparing our strength with the likes of Emperor Jun and others, we are not their match, unless The Three Pure Ones intervene."
"Can the Ancient Gods return within the Three Realms due to the indulgence of The Three Pure Ones? Their likelihood of intervening is slim."
The Great Emperor Ziwei said.
This is something everyone could actually see.
If it weren’t for The Three Pure Ones’ indulgence, with their strength, it wouldn’t be difficult to continue to keep Emperor Jun and others outside of the heavens.
However, they acquiesced to Emperor Jun’s return.
This is one of the main reasons leading to the return of Emperor Jun and others.
The Three Pure Ones must have some plan, surely having figured out how to manage Emperor Jun and his allies.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t have allowed Emperor Jun and others to return.
As for aiding the Heavenly Court in direct confrontation with Emperor Jun and others, that’s somewhat unrealistic.
At least until they’ve completed their arrangements, Lord Taishang and the others wouldn’t do that.
"So, now there’s only one way. If Emperor Jun and others truly want to occupy the Western Continent, let them occupy it, give them the Western Continent, then move the Buddhist Realm into the Heavenly Court."
Sun Wukong pondered for a moment and said.
"But there’s a problem."
Gold Star Taibai frowned.
Everyone turned their gaze towards Gold Star Taibai.
Wanting to know what the problem was that he was referring to.
"Who can guarantee that what Emperor Jun and others want is only the Western Continent?"
With these words, everyone became silent.
They knew well that Gold Star Taibai was right.
Even the Great Emperor Ziwei showed a difficult expression, a bit worried.
They knew very well that Gold Star Taibai made a very valid point.
If what Emperor Jun and others want is not just one Western Continent, but the entire Mortal World, it’s absolutely intolerable for the Heavenly Court.
Thinking of this, everyone’s eyes turned slightly grim.
The foundation of the Great Emperor Ziwei is the living beings between heaven and earth.
Therefore, they maintain the living beings between heaven and earth so much.
"A single Western Continent can be given to them; it’s our biggest concession. If they are not willing and still want to expand, then fight to the death."
Sun Wukong’s eyes flashed fiercely.
If Emperor Jun were to control the entire Mortal World, what would the Heavenly Court be? Just an empty name.
Therefore, the Mortal World cannot be lost.
At this time, all eyes focused on the Great Emperor Ziwei.
The Great Emperor Ziwei pondered for a while, then lifted his head, exuding an astonishing imperial aura.
"I have decided; the Buddhist Realm can be relocated to the Heavenly Court, but the Western Continent cannot be given to Emperor Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi; such matters are non-negotiable for the Heavenly Court, absolutely no compromise."
At this moment, the final sentence of the Great Emperor Ziwei had turned into a roar.
All the immortals felt their blood boiling; they hadn’t expected the Great Emperor Ziwei to refuse to concede even an inch.
The reason for relocating the Buddhist Realm is mostly to plan the Western Continent as a battlefield.
But, that is Emperor Jun and his allies, strong and formidable beyond words.
"I think everyone underestimates our current Heavenly Court. What’s there to fear from Emperor Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi? We too have Supremes; even if we can’t beat them, we can’t admit defeat. That would only encourage them further."
"The Great Emperor is right; retreat will only encourage them to encroach more."
Yang Jian also said.
Sun Wukong was somewhat surprised; he had miscalculated the Great Emperor Ziwei and Yang Jian.
They were more inclined to take action, to battle the opposition in the Western Continent.
They couldn’t defeat the opposition.
Sun Wukong felt a strange thought rising in his mind.
As if seeing through Sun Wukong’s thoughts, the Great Emperor Ziwei said gravely: "The Heavenly Court indeed cannot match Emperor Jun or Eastern Emperor Taiyi, but precisely because of this, we must fight. Relentless retreat will only lead them to encroach more. From today on, the Buddhist Realm withdraws from the Western Continent. Meanwhile, before the opposition realizes, evacuate the living beings from the Western Continent as much as possible, and station troops in the Western Continent. If they dare occupy it, strike immediately."
As he said this, the Great Emperor Ziwei revealed a cold smile and said: "The Heavenly Court indeed cannot rival them, but if they wish to annihilate the Heavenly Court, they too will suffer grievous losses. Let’s see then how they plan to deal with The Three Pure Ones."
He was not willing to abandon a continent.
"Marshal Tianpeng."
"Your servant is here."
"You shall lead five hundred thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Generals to guard the Western Continent. Amitabha Buddha, Zhunti, and Tathagata are to be generals, assisting you. Command the Eastern King and Ancestral Dragon to sit in command. If Emperor Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi take action, just as well, we have experts capable of opposing them."
At this point, the Great Emperor Ziwei pondered for a moment: "The Thunder Department and Water Primordial Emperor along with other Supremes, be ready to engage at any moment, prepared to support. Wukong, go find Lord Taishang, explain the situation, and ask him and Yuanshi Heavenly Venerate to monitor Emperor Jun and his allies. If they truly make a move, request The Three Pure Ones to intervene."
At this last point, everyone couldn’t help but twitch their eyelids.
The Heavenly Court had previously suppressed The Three Pure Ones, creating some tension in their relationship. Now going to ask for their help was indescribably awkward.
Now, the Great Emperor Ziwei actually invites The Three Pure Ones to act. The thickness of his skin is indeed commendable.
Sun Wukong, on the other hand, remained unfazed. He smiled and said, "Even Old Sun thinks it’s possible. I’ll go find Lord Taishang now."
The Great Emperor Ziwei’s expression turned serious, his gaze swept across everyone, solemnly saying: "Please prepare for a deadly fight, willing to die in battle; the Heavenly Court will not concede an inch."
"Yes."
All the immortals immediately responded.
They could all feel the determination of the Great Emperor Ziwei at this moment.
Things were completely different from what Emperor Jun and his allies imagined; the Heavenly Court had no intention of retreat whatsoever.
