Chapter 965: Chapter 302: Intending to Take a Disciple (10,000-word Chapter, 5th Update)_5
Just now, Lord Taishang indeed mentioned he wanted to accept the Great Sage Equalling Heaven as a disciple.
They were very aware that this matter was beyond their control and they must let Sun Wukong know.
Thinking of this, Fahai proposed: “Let’s invite the Great Saint to come forth.”
Nu Ba shook her head, pondered for a moment, and then said, “Let’s wait. The Great Saint said that when the time is right, he will wake up himself, no matter how big the issue, do not disturb him, let’s just wait a bit.”
Everyone exchanged glances, unable to contain their anxiety.
It’s not their fault; mainly, Lord Taishang’s words were too shocking.
If others knew that Lord Taishang wanted to take the Great Sage Equalling Heaven as his disciple, they would react the same as them.
This matter is indeed quite shocking.
Everyone felt unrest.
In fact, Nu Ba was also deeply unsettled.
Their previously calm mindset was overturned by Elder Lord’s words.
Now, they have no chance of calming down.
However, this matter is not one they can decide; they need the Great Saint to awaken and decide personally.
Lord Taishang left Huaguo Mountain, riding on the Green Ox, leisurely heading to Doushuai Temple.
“Elder Lord, are you really going to accept that monkey as your disciple?”
The Green Ox couldn’t help but ask.
He was truly astonished.
If Lord Taishang accepts Sun Wukong as a disciple, that monkey might become even more lawless in the future.
Lord Taishang nodded, smiled, and said: “Indeed, Sun Wukong has considerable talent. Now he bears a significant name in the Three Realms and is a vital figure in my future arrangement. Taking him as a disciple is not strange; it fosters mutual trust and prevents situations like this from occurring again.”
“The monkey might not agree though, at that time, Elder Lord, you would lose face.”
The Green Ox reminded.
If it were other Immortals or Buddhas, facing Elder Lord’s acceptance, they would certainly not refuse.
But it would be very likely if it were Sun Wukong.
This monkey never plays by the rules and always makes unexpected moves.
His seclusion this time expresses his discontent with Lord Taishang.
Facing Lord Taishang, Sun Wukong resists and protests.
Wanting Sun Wukong to become Elder Lord’s disciple is not an easy task.
The Green Ox believes that what he sees, Lord Taishang cannot miss.
But why take this step?
Is it truly due to Sun Wukong’s talent?
Or perhaps, in the Elder Lord’s future plans, Sun Wukong’s role is even more significant than he imagined?
With thoughts swirling in his mind, the Green Ox looked at Lord Taishang, hoping for a satisfactory answer.
Lord Taishang naturally wouldn’t give him any answers, mainly feeling no need.
He simply smiled faintly and said: “He will agree, even holding his nose while accepting me as his master.”
Lord Taishang was quite pleased.
Regarding this, he had strong confidence.
This is the difference between Sun Wukong and Yang Jian.
The good qualities possessed by Sun Wukong, Yang Jian almost entirely possesses as well.
Moreover, Yang Jian is filled with righteous spirit and has strong principles.
But this is also why Lord Taishang chooses Sun Wukong instead of Yang Jian.
Too rigid and prone to break.
Yang Jian is just like that, too upright and not understanding flexibility.
Therefore, he cannot replace Sun Wukong.
This matter, if Yang Jian faced it, he certainly wouldn’t become a disciple, might resist, or even distance himself.
The Green Ox was dumbfounded.
He wanted to tell Lord Taishang that being so confident sometimes isn’t a good thing.
If Sun Wukong doesn’t acknowledge him as master and strongly resists, the one to lose face would be Lord Taishang.
But seeing Lord Taishang’s confident demeanor, the Green Ox didn’t dare to say much.
After hesitating a bit, he finally said: “I understand, as soon as I drop Elder Lord at the temple, I will immediately handle this matter.”
“Good boy.”
The Green Ox: “…”
He was a bit troubled; if Sun Wukong really disagreed, he knew how messy the situation would be for Elder Lord.
Maybe in a fit of rage, he might just slap Sun Wukong to death.
This kind of thing, Lord Taishang might actually do.
The Green Ox really knew Lord Taishang too well.
However, he had to carry out Lord Taishang’s commands.
After escorting Lord Taishang to Doushuai Temple, the Green Ox returned to the Heavenly Palace, drank with other immortals, and then in a drunk state, accidentally revealed this matter.
Soon, the news that Lord Taishang wanted to accept the Great Sage Equalling Heaven as his disciple spread throughout the entire Three Realms.
Everyone was shocked and found it hard to believe.
No one expected that Lord Taishang would want to accept the Great Sage Equalling Heaven as his disciple.
With this news, Huaguo Mountain gains the support of The Three Pure Ones.
From now on, who would dare provoke Huaguo Mountain, wouldn’t this mean inviting the wrath of The Three Pure Ones?
Primordial Phoenix and First Qilin couldn’t sit still; upon meeting, their faces were very grim.
“What to do? If Sun Wukong becomes Lord Taishang’s disciple, it will be very troublesome for us to kill that monkey, fearing The Three Pure Ones’ retaliation.”
Primordial Phoenix’s expression was somewhat tense.
First Qilin, likewise frowning, said: “Indeed, the retaliation from The Three Pure Ones is extraordinary. It’s not hard for them to kill us. Do you expect those guys from the Supreme Alliance to help us fight against The Three Pure Ones?”
