922: Chapter 296: Merciful Daoist Ancestor_4 922: Chapter 296: Merciful Daoist Ancestor_4 Sun Wukong also felt relieved.
He suddenly thought that the idea of the Eastern King was actually quite reasonable.
Since it’s a difficult issue to resolve, and there are more powerful beings above them, why should they bother themselves?
Reporting such matters upwards and letting others handle it seems like the best choice, doesn’t it?
Why should they trouble themselves here, to the point of absurdity?
Thinking of this, Sun Wukong felt relieved.
He said to the Queen Mother of the West: “I will go find the Elder Lord.”
The Queen Mother of the West stopped him and said: “Forget it, let me go instead.
You just took a hundred Nine-Turn Great Restoration Pills from Taishang Laojun.
Going now might not be appropriate; if the Daoist Ancestor plots against you again, that wouldn’t be good.
Let me go personally.”
“Bring Ziwei along.”
Sun Wukong thought for a moment and then said.
He felt that Lord Taishang valued Ziwei highly.
Unlike how they were treated, although they were valued, there were more schemes involved.
But with Ziwei, they were genuinely nurturing him.
Sun Wukong and the others couldn’t compare to that.
It made sense, if the Taishang Laojun wasn’t quite satisfied with the Great Emperor Ziwei, the Supreme of the Three Realms, they wouldn’t have recognized the Great Emperor Ziwei’s status.
Since they supported and recognized the Great Emperor Ziwei, it already showed the attitude of Taishang Laojun and the others.
Thinking of this, Sun Wukong felt quite reassured.
Having the Great Emperor Ziwei accompany him is definitely a good idea.
“Rest assured, I will definitely bring the Great Emperor Ziwei along.
With him around, there’s no worry that the Elder Lord and the others will plot anything, especially since this time, we are just delivering information, not asking them to do anything.”
The Queen Mother of the West said with a smile.
“Go ahead, the Elder Lord and the others are not as evil as you imagine; they won’t scheme against you.
They are all for the good of the Three Realms.”
In an instant, Sun Wukong and the Queen Mother of the West’s gaze fell on the Eastern King, knowing that he must know something, yet he remained silent.
But with the Eastern King’s assurance, they were relieved.
The Queen Mother of the West departed for the Heavenly Court.
As for Sun Wukong and the Eastern King, they stayed in Kunlun.
The Eastern King looked at Sun Wukong with interest, suddenly smiling and saying: “The Great Saint’s cultivation must be nearing the level of a top Great Heavenly Venerate.”
Sun Wukong didn’t deny it; he nodded and said: “Almost there, just a small step away.”
The Eastern King praised: “The Great Saint is remarkable.
Once reaching the top level of a Great Heavenly Venerate, your combat strength will rival the Supremes, almost equal to them.
At that time, it would be nearly impossible for an ordinary Supreme to defeat you.”
“But compared to a being like you, nearing the realm of the Three Pure Ones’ Supreme, I am far inferior.”
Sun Wukong smiled faintly, pointing out the Eastern King’s cultivation level.
Even now, he couldn’t grasp the depths of the Eastern King.
This showed that the Eastern King’s strength was beyond what he imagined.
Even with the Ancestral Dragon’s strength, Sun Wukong could sense it.
But when facing the Eastern King, Sun Wukong’s feeling never changed.
Always unfathomable, never able to detect any hidden depths.
This feeling was only given to him by Emperor Jun, and above him, there was Taishang Laojun and others.
The Eastern King was slightly stunned; he smiled and said: “The Great Saint sees through it, but my little strength is nothing; it’s merely the sediment of long ages past, far less than the Great Saint.”
Saying this, a sharp light flashed in the Eastern King’s eyes, and his expression became solemn.
“However, hardness easily breaks; has the Great Saint considered this point?”
Sun Wukong stared at the Eastern King, saying nothing, waiting for him to continue.
Sun Wukong knew very well that since the Eastern King brought up such words, there must be more to follow.
Indeed, the Eastern King continued: “Therefore, I advise the Great Saint, hide your sharpness; better to maintain current strength and cultivation, or even lower it, after Emperor Jun and the others return.”
Sun Wukong was thoughtful; he roughly understood the Eastern King’s thoughts.
“Are you worried about me being harmed?”
The Eastern King smiled faintly: “I said the same to the Judicial Deity; he also thought my words were reasonable.”
Continuing, the Eastern King smiled faintly: “You two are the beings I hold in highest esteem; I don’t want anything to happen to you.
If you shine too brightly, even the Three Pure Ones might not protect you.
Eliminating geniuses is not uncommon among Immortals and Buddhas.”
Sun Wukong gasped.
His gaze fell on the Eastern King’s face, then he stood up and said to him: “Thank you for the reminder, Eastern King, I understand.”
The Eastern King revealed a smile, saying: “It’s best that you understand.
Remember, in this world, it’s not just you and Yang Jian; there are stronger ones who can protect this world.
The beings of the Three Realms aren’t as fragile as you imagine, nor do they need such care.
Without experiencing blood and fire, they can’t grow.”
“Moreover, the Three Pure Ones will never watch the Three Realms suffer too much loss, after all, this is their…”
The last few words were unclear even to Sun Wukong.
However, he knew those words must be quite important.
And the Eastern King deliberately didn’t say them, perhaps out of caution, or thinking it wasn’t necessary to tell Sun Wukong yet.
