Chapter 961: Chapter 302 Accepting a Disciple “10,000-Word Chapter, Second Update
Many people showed a strange look, their eyes flickering, all speculating about what had happened.
Lord Taishang would not easily take action; once he did, it signified that something significant was happening between heaven and earth.
He went to Huaguo Mountain, what does this mean? Everyone was speculating.
Many powerful beings were guessing that Sun Wukong, this time in closed-door cultivation, might be playing a strategic game with Lord Taishang, vying for something.
Otherwise, Lord Taishang would not have easily left Doushuai Temple.
“Elder Lord, we’ve been discovered.”
Green Ox sensed those gazes and couldn’t help but say.
Lord Taishang smiled faintly and said, “Naturally, they would discover us; this is also Sun Wukong’s intention.”
Green Ox was a bit dumbfounded, but soon he understood.
He finally realized why Kun did not hide his tracks.
When the Elder Lord was preparing to come, he had already compromised with Sun Wukong in some ways.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have come without hiding his intentions.
In truth, with Lord Taishang’s strength, if he wanted to hide his tracks, even the other two of The Three Pure Ones might not be able to notice.
“Fellow Daoist, is this necessary?”
A voice suddenly sounded, startling Green Ox.
Green Ox’s heart shook as he looked around.
Upon realizing it was Yuanshi Heavenly Venerate’s voice, he slightly relaxed.
Lord Taishang sighed and said gloomily, “Then, fellow Daoist, tell me, how should we proceed to disagree with Sun Wukong’s idea?”
Yuanshi Heavenly Venerate’s voice was somewhat cold.
“We arrange for the living beings of the Three Realms, others have the obligation to cooperate, not to mention we’ve already given that Sun Wukong benefits; what more does he want? Go against him? If not, replace him directly; I think Yang Jian is quite suitable.”
Yuanshi Heavenly Venerate’s voice came, carrying strong dissatisfaction.
“Yang Jian has other plans; moreover, do you think replacing him with Yang Jian will make him cooperate with us? His character is even more unyielding than Sun Wukong; that monkey at least knows how to extort some benefits from me, still does what needs to be done. If replaced with Yang Jian, there would be no room for negotiation, and he might just abandon his duties, believe it or not?”
Lord Taishang retorted.
Yuanshi Heavenly Venerate remained silent for quite a while; after a long time, he said, “Why are the living beings of this era so difficult to manage?”
Green Ox was speechless; he hadn’t expected Yuanshi Heavenly Venerate to express such a sentiment, demonstrating the disastrous results Sun Wukong’s abandonment brought.
Even Yuanshi Heavenly Venerate felt helpless, without a solution.
Lord Taishang smiled slightly, and said, “Let’s proceed according to the original plan, give that monkey some benefits, and he’ll behave obediently; in this aspect, he’s definitely better than Yang Jian.”
Yuanshi Heavenly Venerate’s voice no longer sounded, evidently agreeing with Lord Taishang’s opinion.
At this point, Lord Taishang suddenly glanced at Green Ox, showing a surprised expression, lost in thought.
“While discussing with Yuanshi Heavenly Venerate earlier, it seems I forgot to avoid you.”
Green Ox shivered and with a mournful face said, “Elder Lord, don’t scare me; I am loyal to you, you can’t be thinking of having beef stew, can you?”
“Look at you all timid, hurry on the road.”
Lord Taishang couldn’t help but laugh and cry.
This Green Ox, although obedient, is just too sensitive.
If he had Sun Wukong’s courage and occasionally rebelled against me, it would be interesting.
Being so compliant and timid, even scaring him isn’t entertaining.
Only then did Green Ox breathe a sigh of relief; the Elder Lord’s words earlier had made him break out in cold sweat.
Being the mount of a big shot is truly difficult.
Knowing the big shot’s secrets, yet having to worry about being silenced by them.
Fortunately, he reacted quickly earlier; otherwise, perhaps Lord Taishang really would have had beef stew.
Huaguo Mountain quickly arrived, Lord Taishang sat on Green Ox, without speaking.
Green Ox immediately shouted, “Lord Taishang has arrived, people of Huaguo Mountain, why aren’t you coming to greet?”
His voice dropped, waiting for a moment.
But, Huaguo Mountain remained silent without any movement.
Green Ox’s face darkened a bit, but he also knew that there were some places with restrictions that could prevent sound from spreading.
Thinking of this, he gathered a thread of mana and continued to shout, “Lord Taishang has arrived, people of Huaguo Mountain come out to welcome.”
Mana struck the restrictions, causing Huaguo Mountain’s restrictions to ripple a bit.
Green Ox was certain the people in Huaguo Mountain must have sensed it.
Surely there’s no reason for them not to come out now?
Unfortunately, this was just his thought.
Huaguo Mountain remained completely still, as if they hadn’t heard his words at all.
Green Ox was stunned and also a bit embarrassed.
The master’s face losing light wouldn’t look good for him as the mount either.
Thinking of this, he prepared to take action and attack Huaguo Mountain’s restrictions.
Anyway, now he was with Lord Taishang, so he wasn’t afraid of that monkey causing trouble.
With Elder Lord by his side, Green Ox was full of confidence.
No matter how obedient and docile he was with Lord Taishang, he was quite impressive in front of other living beings.
Even during the Journey to the West, back then Tathagata Buddha feared he’d go to Mount Ling causing trouble, and sent him many treasures.
After two calls, seeing no movement from Huaguo Mountain, Green Ox was also angry.
He directly unleashed mana to strike down.
This couldn’t possibly shatter Huaguo Mountain’s restrictions, after all, he didn’t possess that kind of power.
But the people inside surely could sense the commotion and rush out.
Boom.
Powerful mana struck Huaguo Mountain.
