774: Chapter 267 New Supreme_4 774: Chapter 267 New Supreme_4 “Tathagata has broken through, will it affect the Heavenly Court?
I recall he is quite an ambitious man.”
Having heard Nu Ba’s words, Sun Wukong gently smiled and said, “Tathagata Buddha knows what he’s doing; he won’t act so rashly.
Don’t underestimate that guy Ziwei.
Though he often acts the fool, his long tenure as the leader of the Four Heavenly Kings proves he’s no simple character.
Even if Tathagata has become Supreme, he can’t suppress him.”
Nu Ba breathed a sigh of relief.
If that were the case, she wouldn’t worry.
The Heavenly Court, the Human Race, and Huaguo Mountain are all closely connected.
If one party suffers, it’s a loss for the other two, creating significant impact.
Thus, none of these three can afford an incident.
“Prepare some gifts; let’s go and congratulate Tathagata on his breakthrough.”
Sun Wukong said with a smile.
Nu Ba nodded slightly and said, “I will prepare them now.”
As the daughter of Lord Huang, she was well aware of the proprieties among these gods and immortals.
Given Sun Wukong’s current status and Tathagata Buddha’s position, the gifts cannot be shabby; otherwise, it would reflect poorly on Sun Wukong and might displease Tathagata.
Of course, Sun Wukong himself wouldn’t mind.
But, it would make them laughing stocks.
At that moment, atop Mount Ling, Tathagata Buddha was listening to Lamp-Burning report the latest events.
Lamp-Burning had also ascended to the rank of Great Heavenly Venerate, which greatly pleased Tathagata Buddha.
The reason he hadn’t asked Jin Chan was primarily that Jin Chan’s words were too provocative and unreliable; Tathagata Buddha felt that Lamp-Burning Ancient Buddha’s words were more credible.
However, after hearing everything Lamp-Burning Buddha had said, he too was momentarily stunned.
Could all this be true?
He thought that having achieved the Supreme status, he should be happy.
In the future, he could dominate the Three Realms, and he even harbored a bit of ambition.
Perhaps, there was still a chance to take over the Heavenly Court.
This ambition was quickly extinguished by him, but Tathagata Buddha had to admit, there was a moment when he was tempted.
After all, Great Emperor Ziwei was not yet Supreme, but he already was.
Hearing Lamp-Burning Ancient Buddha’s narrative, Tathagata Buddha promptly abandoned any unrealistic notions in his mind.
It was too terrifying.
Sun Wukong and Yang Jian had killed two Supremes.
Having achieved the status of Great Heavenly Venerate, they possessed combat power close to the Sub-Paramount level, likely not weaker than him at his peak, or perhaps even stronger.
If he sought to contend for the heavens, it was highly likely that Sun Wukong and Yang Jian would immediately overpower him.
Jin Chan, seeing the contemplative look on Tathagata’s face, couldn’t help but smile slightly.
Seeing Jin Chan’s smile, Tathagata grew even more irritated.
This disciple really enjoyed seeing him embarrassed.
He snorted coldly.
Although displeased, he didn’t go as far as to voice reprimands.
“Also, Sun Wukong has invited the Water God to join the Heavenly Court, becoming the Water Primordial Emperor.”
The Water God, that Supreme.
Once slain by Yinghuo and later resurrected, the Primordial Water God.
This is definitely a powerful Supreme, even if Tathagata has become Supreme, he cannot claim he could defeat him.
That means, aside from the Eastern King, the Heavenly Court has gained another Supreme-level combat power.
Together with Sun Wukong and Yang Jian, they can defeat a Supreme.
Now, the Heavenly Court possesses three Supreme combat powers.
Even without The Three Pure Ones backing them, the current strength of the Heavenly Court is sufficient to handle any formidable power.
Usually, for a race to have one Supreme is already the limit, which could be called the strongest race from the era of the Primordial.
Let alone the Heavenly Court possessing three Supreme powers, and it’s likely not far off until Great Emperor Ziwei becomes a Supreme.
Tathagata Buddha sighed inwardly; the strength of Mount Ling had grown rapidly, but the Heavenly Court’s strength was increasing even faster.
Originally, he thought that after becoming Supreme, Mount Ling’s power would come close to that of the Heavenly Court.
Now it seemed he had thought too much.
It’s better to stay honest.
Tathagata Buddha reflected silently.
Whether it be Great Emperor Ziwei, Sun Wukong, or Yang Jian, which one of them isn’t tough?
If they thought Mount Ling posed a threat, it wouldn’t be strange for them to eradicate Mount Ling decisively.
With thoughts swirling in his mind, Tathagata Buddha began making calculations with his hands, and said to Maitreya, “Maitreya, prepare yourself.
Now that I have become Supreme, many gods, demons, immortals, and Buddhas will surely come to congratulate.
Make sure to host them well, don’t be negligent.”
“Yes.”
Maitreya quickly set about his tasks.
He inwardly chuckled, himself the fourth-ranked person of Mount Ling, the Future Buddha Maitreya, now reduced to running errands.
Still, since it was an assignment from Tathagata, he certainly dared not treat it lightly and immediately got to work.
“I’m about to see Wukong again, truly a joy.”
Jin Chan said with a smile.
Looking at Jin Chan, Tathagata Buddha was quite speechless.
Is your relationship with your master really that good?
If he remembered correctly, there were a few times when Sun Wukong had nearly finished off Jin Chan.
At those times, he surely didn’t want to see Sun Wukong.
Soon, many came to Mount Ling to congratulate Tathagata Buddha on becoming Supreme.
Beings of the Primordial era and various powerful entities almost all attended.
With Supremes riding in chariots drawn by nine mighty Mythical Beasts, all of Great Heavenly Venerate Realm, sweeping through the sky, descended upon Mount Ling.
“That is, the chariot of the Golden God, one of the ten fiercest beings of the Primordial era, who once bloodily annihilated more than one race, and now resurrected, emerges again.
The world is about to get lively,” said an Ancient God from the Primordial, recognizing the identity of the arriving party as the Golden God of the Primordial.
