858: Modified: Chapter 286 Persuasion_3 858: Modified: Chapter 286 Persuasion_3 The Three Pure Ones.
Upon hearing this, the Taichi Empress’s expression grew somewhat grave.
She could disregard the siege by the supreme beings of the Heavenly Court, but she could not ignore the Daoist Ancestor of the Three Pure Ones.
If the Three Pure Ones made a move against her, there would be no place for her in the Three Realms, and she would be slain sooner or later.
It was not worth it to kill a Sun Wukong.
Jie, however, sneered and said: “Nonsense, it’s just a mere Sun Wukong, and yet you have blown it out of proportion.
What kind of beings are the Three Pure Ones?
How could they possibly pay attention to a mere monkey?
Do you really think we know nothing?”
Clearly, Jie’s thoughts were completely different from theirs.
He knew Sun Wukong’s current status in the Three Realms was not insignificant, and he had connections with some of the great gods of the Three Realms.
But Jie did not believe that Sun Wukong could be noticed or valued by the Three Pure Ones.
“Do not speak nonsense.”
Glaring at Jie, the Taichi Empress regained her composure.
She suddenly realized that perhaps what Suiren and the Golden God had said was true.
A mere Great Heavenly Venerate’s rise to power happened too swiftly.
If there was no assistance, the Empress found it hard to believe.
The explanation given by Suiren and the Golden God made sense.
Even if the details were different, it was undeniable that there was someone behind Sun Wukong.
The Heavenly Court, the Ancestral Dragon, the Human Race.
Thinking of this, the Taichi Empress sighed.
It was then that she soberly realized, even without the Three Pure Ones, she could not touch Sun Wukong.
Forcing an enmity would lead to a dead end.
Even as one of the top ten powerhouses of the Primordial, it would unquestionably lead to a dead end, without any possibility of luck.
With this realization, the Taichi Empress’s gaze at the Golden God and Suiren softened a bit.
Although they were indeed here to warn her, they were also saving her life.
As the Golden God and Suiren said, if she forcibly made an enemy of Sun Wukong, she would be besieged to death by all.
The Heavenly Court, the Three Pure Ones, the Ancestral Dragon and others would all strike together.
With this in mind, the Taichi Empress sighed deeply.
It was no longer the Primordial era; if she wanted to survive, she had to abandon the ideas of the Primordial era.
Thinking this, she turned her gaze to Jie and said: “From today on, you will stay by my side.
You are not allowed to leave without my command.”
Upon hearing this, Jie’s face changed dramatically.
He was very dissatisfied and couldn’t help but angrily say: “Mother, how can you do this?
I want to avenge Father, why are you stopping me?
What’s so scary about the mere Heavenly Court?
Does Mother need to care about them?
In the Primordial era, Mother was called the Empress and dared to challenge any great force in the world, sweeping away all enemies.
Why have you become so timid and fearful now?”
The Taichi Empress’s expression darkened.
She glanced at Jie and said coldly: “You just need to follow orders, there is no need to ask so many questions.”
Jie trembled and opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but eventually kept quiet.
Jie knew very well that his mother was angry.
However, his heart was filled with rage.
It was all the fault of those two, the Golden God and Suiren.
Jie’s gaze towards them was filled with killing intent.
If he killed them, wouldn’t he be able to seek revenge?
The Golden God and Suiren sensed Jie’s killing intent and couldn’t help but laugh.
Just a mere Sub-Paramount, and yet he wanted to kill them—that was truly overestimating himself.
“Don’t act recklessly.”
The Taichi Empress scolded, not allowing her son to act rashly.
However, she did not genuinely stop her son and watched him make his move.
Attacking Sun Wukong was impossible, but hitting these two before him should not be a problem.
Besides, she wanted to see how strong Jie really was.
Using a Supreme to test Jie’s strength was the best option.
As for taking action herself, the Taichi Empress couldn’t bear to.
Jie naturally understood his mother’s intentions.
He smirked viciously and set his eyes on Suiren.
As for the Golden God, he didn’t provoke him.
The Golden God was one of the top ten evildoers of the Primordial, and even Jie felt a bit intimidated by this title.
As for Suiren, there wasn’t much deterrent force in his eyes.
Even though he was also a Supreme, Jie didn’t fear him.
He wanted to test his strength to see if he could match or even defeat a Supreme.
If a Sub-Paramount could defeat a Supreme, he would be the first in history.
Suiren sensed the fighting intent and smiled faintly, saying to the Empress: “Empress, if your esteemed son fights with me, I cannot guarantee his well-being.
If there are any injuries, I hope you understand.”
Suiren gave a preemptive greeting.
The Taichi Empress neither agreed nor objected.
She calmly said: “In that case, please teach him a lesson.
As long as you don’t kill my son, everything is negotiable.”
“Make your move.”
Suiren knew that a fight was inevitable today.
The Empress and her son were both overly domineering.
Defeating or severely injuring Jie would also serve as a lesson.
In an instant, Jie made his move without any warning, launching a sneak attack.
If it were a Supreme of a later era, they would likely be caught off guard for a moment.
But Suiren was also a Primordial being.
Despite being weak at the time, he understood the Primordial beings well.
In the Primordial era, survival was the most important.
Rules were all nonsense.
In such a barbaric time, the strong preyed on the weak.
Jie’s sudden attack wasn’t unexpected to him.
Suiren remained calm, smiling lightly as he countered.
His fire sparked, and the ancestors of the human race appeared beside him, struggling against heaven and earth, surviving with great difficulty, shedding blood and sacrificing for the continuity and growth of the human race.
This was Suiren’s path: the passing of the torch, life unending.
At this moment, Suiren seemed to return to the Primordial era.
The fire on him blazed, accompanied by the cries of the ancestors, converging and descending on Jie.
