Chapter 1010: 311. Everyone Searches for the Wood God_4
The Ox Demon King was dumbfounded.
He pleaded loudly, but the Iron Fan Immortal had no intention of letting him go.
“Three days without a beating, and you’re ready to tear the house apart; your courage is growing boundless, Old Bull.”
The Iron Fan Immortal sneered.
Seeing the Ox Demon King’s pleading look, Sun Wukong chuckled and said, “Sister-in-law, don’t trouble brother anymore, he can’t even woo her; that Zixia is a Female Supreme, very powerful.”
Upon hearing the words Female Supreme, the Iron Fan Immortal knew that it mostly had nothing to do with the Ox Demon King.
She sneered and finally released the Ox Demon King’s ear.
Then, she began to complain to Sun Wukong.
“Nihou, you can’t imagine how hard it is following Old Bull. Today, he’s flirting, tomorrow causing trouble; I worry myself sick over him. Just look at me, in my youthful prime, now worn out beyond recognition.”
Looking at the wrinkle-free, beautiful cheeks of the Iron Fan Immortal, Sun Wukong calmly said, “Sister-in-law, don’t worry, once we’re at Huaguo Mountain, I’ll make sure Old Bull is dealt with, then I’ll ask the Elder Lord to forge an iron chain and tie him up at home so this won’t happen anymore.”
Iron Fan Immortal: “Forget it, I think men sometimes play around outside, but he knows his limits.”
Sun Wukong grinned and stopped discussing it.
“It seems many Supreme powers are backing them. I once asked the Elder Lord, who hinted they aren’t beings of the Three Realms, not even in the Three Realms, but he didn’t reveal their identity to Old Sun.”
Speaking here, Sun Wukong couldn’t help but snort coldly.
He scorned how Lord Taishang and the others clearly knew but didn’t tell them.
What’s there to hide unless there’s a guilty conscience?
The Great Emperor Ziwei wanted to eliminate the influence of the Three Pure Ones on the Three Realms, partly for this reason.
They possess the secrets between Heaven and Earth and know many matters concerning the safety of the Three Realms.
Yet, they never speak clearly, being vague.
This filled the Great Emperor Ziwei with unease about them; unable to see through them made him feel out of control.
Therefore, the Great Emperor Ziwei wished to suppress the influence of the Three Pure Ones completely.
That way, the Heavenly Court controls Heaven and Earth, solving problems openly without hiding.
Instead of entrusting the future of Heaven and Earth to three individuals.
Letting their whims or dislikes decide the future of this world.
This manner feels very insecure, lacking assurance.
The Three Pure Ones are feared by the Great Emperor Ziwei for this reason.
Initially, the Great Emperor Ziwei merely wanted to become a Supreme of the Three Realms.
Whether the Three Pure Ones were above him didn’t concern him.
But as time passed, the Great Emperor Ziwei found things different from his expectations.
He might not mind, but the ways of the Three Pure Ones were far too chilling.
Thus, he began to nurture the ambition of becoming a true Heavenly Emperor.
This way, everything would be in his control without any issues.
Hence lately, he frequently took action, even accepting Haotian God’s proposal to stir up the Three Pure Ones.
“I have a feeling the Three Pure Ones might become the greatest source of catastrophe in the Three Realms in the future.”
Tathagata Buddha’s words were shocking, frightening everyone.
But Tathagata Buddha wasn’t concerned, he looked calm.
Seeing the surprised faces around him, Tathagata Buddha folded his hands and spoke gravely, “No need to be surprised, I merely express my thoughts.”
Sun Wukong and others exchanged glances; although Tathagata Buddha’s words were startling, they oddly agreed.
“What indeed do the Three Pure Ones wish to do? Since the Primordial era, no one knows. To the living beings of this world, the Three Pure Ones are extremely mysterious, lofty yet impenetrable. They seem to shelter the common people, but their true attitude sees the common people as ants; just observe Yuanshi Heavenly Venerate’s demeanor.”
Zhenyuan spoke gravely.
He seldom voiced such thoughts, yet did so today.
Zhenyuan understood the Three Pure Ones considerably, especially Yuanshi Heavenly Venerate; he often listened to teachings at his place.
He was friendly with the Three Pure Ones, not deeply acquainted but not distant either.
Yet, he never comprehended their aims.
Sun Wukong gasped slightly, his eyes flashing insight; even Zhenyuan speaking thus showed some acknowledgment of Tathagata’s words.
“They likely hold this world’s greatest secret within, but they won’t reveal it, merely savoring it alone. I sense once truth unfolds, the entire worldview will overturn, sending the Three Realms into madness.”
Tathagata Buddha spoke gravely.
Since becoming Supreme, he’s become more calm and wise.
Things once unclear now lay bare to him.
This certainty fueled his belief that the Three Pure Ones would spark chaos in the Three Realms.
This view resonated with the Great Emperor Ziwei’s outlook.
“Let’s not dwell much on it. For now, we must strive to enhance our power; if anyone reaches the Three Pure Ones’ prowess, then we’d qualify to uncover the truth and even topple the Three Pure Ones.”
Sun Wukong said.
His investigation into the Three Pure Ones ceased here.
