Chapter 1030: Chapter 314: Apology_5
Upon hearing Sun Wukong’s words, the Eastern King laughed and said, “Everyone has moments of impulsiveness. Back then, even the previous Heavenly Emperor challenged the current Heavenly Emperor and boasted about defeating him within a hundred moves. Anyone would have been unable to hold back. If I were Great Emperor Ziwei, I would probably be just as impulsive.”
Sun Wukong actually understood this point, but he was still very angry.
Great Emperor Ziwei’s actions were irresponsible to everyone.
“Stop speaking for him; he’s a fool. I can’t be bothered with him in the future.”
At this moment, Sun Wukong reminded the Eastern King.
“By the way, if he does such a stupid thing again, don’t go easy on him. Break his legs directly; let’s see how he struts around then.”
The Eastern King: “…”
With a strange expression, he looked at Sun Wukong, wanting to ask, ‘Didn’t you just say you don’t care? Why are you concerned now?’
Of course, he didn’t say it out loud.
If Sun Wukong got angry and threw him out too, it wouldn’t be fun.
Thinking of this, the Eastern King just nodded.
As for breaking Great Emperor Ziwei’s legs, that was something he dared not do.
Probably, the only one who dared to do such a thing was Sun Wukong.
“Alright, Old Sun needs to heal now. You take that idiot back to the Heavenly Palace, and keep a close eye on Emperor Jun and the others. If you find them harming living beings, tell Old Sun, and I’ll keep my word.”
The Eastern King nodded slightly, but he still hesitated and asked, “Great Saint, is it worth confronting Emperor Jun and the others for some ordinary living beings?”
Sun Wukong glanced at the Eastern King, shook his head, and said, “Honestly, Old Sun didn’t expect you to ask such a question. I thought you understood.”
The Eastern King: “…”
However, Sun Wukong did not explain further, simply saying, “Follow the principles of the Heavenly Court. There’s nothing about worth or not.”
The Eastern King understood, slightly bowed, fished Great Emperor Ziwei out from the East Sea, and took him back to the Heavenly Court.
“I still have something to say to that monkey.”
Great Emperor Ziwei was somewhat unwilling, not wanting to leave just yet.
He still had some words he wished to share with Sun Wukong.
The Eastern King glanced at him and said, speechless, “Great Emperor, if you go to the Great Saint now, I reckon the Great Saint will still throw you out. He’s still angry.”
Great Emperor Ziwei was slightly taken aback, then muttered, “The monkey’s temper has been too big lately, even daring to lay hands on me.”
Seeing his slightly dissatisfied expression, the Eastern King hesitated for a moment but couldn’t help but retort.
“Your Majesty, honestly, let’s not even talk about the Great Saint. Even I felt like beating you today.”
“Why?”
“Stupidity.”
Great Emperor Ziwei’s face turned black.
He stared at the Eastern King, wanting to threaten him slightly.
But after thinking for a long time, Great Emperor Ziwei suddenly sighed in defeat.
He suddenly realized that he might not be able to beat the Eastern King.
If he threatened him now, would he be beaten up by the Eastern King?
There was still a possibility.
After all, which of the monkey’s friends isn’t an odd one?
Of course, when Great Emperor Ziwei thought this way, he forgot to look at himself.
He appeared stable, but he had a passionate heart, completely contrary to his calm exterior, even starkly opposite.
Great Emperor Ziwei liked adventures and could not bear solitude.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have recklessly ventured as he did today and almost succeeded.
The Eastern King took Great Emperor Ziwei back to the Heavenly Court.
Seeing Great Emperor Ziwei return, all the Immortal Officials breathed a sigh of relief.
Although Great Emperor Ziwei’s face was a bit pale, everyone was happy to see him.
Being defeated yet still happy.
This left them baffled.
Great Emperor Ziwei greeted the Immortals and returned to his room to heal.
In reality, his injuries weren’t that severe; it was mainly due to excessive depletion, making the injuries seem serious.
As long as his mana recovered, he would essentially be fine.
Returning to his inner palace, Great Emperor Ziwei suddenly sighed; there was no longer any hint of joy.
His face was all heaviness.
This battle made him realize the gap between himself and the Eastern Emperor Tai Yi and the others.
To bridge this gap would take at least several hundred years.
Fortunately, he cultivated by relying on the telekinesis of all living beings and the fortune of the Heavenly Court.
Otherwise, it would take millions of years to bridge this gap.
Sitting in the position of the Three Realms Supreme, even without cultivation, his power would be propelled to advance to an extreme.
Moreover, Great Emperor Ziwei cultivated quite diligently; an average cultivator couldn’t even dream of it.
It’s exceptionally hard for the Supreme to enhance power.
Even a slight power increment demands a substantial price.
“Monkey, I know you care about me, but ultimately, as the Three Realms Supreme, I must face this kind of battle even if I know there’s danger. Otherwise, if the future Supremes of the Three Realms fear battle, how can the others face Emperor Jun and Eastern Emperor Tai Yi?”
That’s the genuine thought of Great Emperor Ziwei.
Sun Wukong is not in his position, so he can’t fully understand his thoughts and actions.
Great Emperor Ziwei knew this point well.
However, he didn’t explain it, allowing Sun Wukong’s misunderstanding.
This feeling of being cared for was still nice for Great Emperor Ziwei.
A smile appeared on his face as he submerged back into cultivation.
