Chapter 929: Chapter 297 Innate Restraint_3
Everyone smiled, thinking that Nu Ba made a lot of sense.
Lord Taishang twitched at the corner of his mouth, took a deep breath, and barely held back a thunderous impulse to destroy Huaguo Mountain instantly.
He no longer listened to Sun Wukong but shifted his attention elsewhere.
Lord Taishang was unaware that at the moment he withdrew his Divine Skills, Sun Wukong glanced at Doushuai Temple with a cold smile on his lips.
Sun Wukong sensed Lord Taishang’s eavesdropping.
In the end, Lord Taishang underestimated Sun Wukong’s methods and Divine Skills.
He thought Sun Wukong couldn’t sense his eavesdropping, but Sun Wukong was aware the moment he employed any technique.
What he heard was what Sun Wukong wanted him to hear.
After the journey to Kunlun, Sun Wukong was a bit more settled and didn’t go anywhere.
He meditated and practiced diligently every day.
This influenced the Eight Immortals, making them all work hard at their cultivation.
Indeed, with diligence, they all improved significantly.
The Heavens reward hard work; it’s not just an empty saying.
The last one, Lan Caihe, also became a Heavenly Venerate through hard work.
On Huaguo Mountain, only Bai Yu and Fan Yao hadn’t broken through yet.
Compared to Fan Yao’s laziness, Bai Yu was quite diligent.
He trained daily, fought demons and monsters, and always took the lead in various battles.
However, compared to beings like the Eight Immortals, he still lacked foundation.
Becoming a Heavenly Venerate is not an easy matter.
Yet, Bai Yu also had a tenacity about him.
He was completely unwilling to admit defeat, frantically training, and his overall strength improved rapidly.
Even Sun Wukong couldn’t help but marvel.
If the Eight Immortals had such enthusiasm for training, they might have all become Great Heavenly Venerates.
They were too carefree, so they didn’t work very hard while cultivating.
Even now, after reaching the Heavenly Venerate realm, they’ve started becoming lax again.
In fact, the accumulation of the Eight Immortals surpasses that of Fahai.
The reputation of the Eight Immortals of the Upper Grotto is not just casual flattery.
However, now Fahai’s strength far exceeds theirs.
This is the difference between effort and the power of not being angry.
Fahai worked hard, and his strength surpassed theirs. Now Fahai is already a Great Heavenly Venerate, while their strength still lingers in the Heavenly Venerate realm.
Sun Wukong was confident that if Bai Yu continued to work hard, he would sooner or later become a true master.
Achieving the Supreme is hard to say, because even Zhenyuan took ages to become the Supreme.
But becoming a Sub-Paramount or a top Great Heavenly Venerate, if he doesn’t fall midway, there’s still that hope.
The Heavens reward hard work has always been true.
Sun Wukong personally guided Bai Yu in his cultivation.
Others also helped to guide Bai Yu.
Bai Yu’s cultivation progressed rapidly.
After six months, he finally made a breakthrough and stepped into the realm of the Heavenly Venerate.
In the end, only Fan Yao remained.
Everyone’s attention turned to Fan Yao.
Fan Yao said weakly, “I feel my opportunity hasn’t arrived yet. To become a Heavenly Venerate, I still need a long time.”
As a result, everyone began to take turns guiding Fan Yao.
During this period, Nu Ba also successfully stepped into the realm of the Great Heavenly Venerate.
She invited Fahai for a duel and ended up beating him up.
Fahai was shocked to see the difference in strength between himself and Princess Nu Ba was so vast.
He originally thought, even if his strength wasn’t as great as Nu Ba’s, it wasn’t far off.
Now it seemed, he overestimated his ability.
“You’re already quite good.”
Nu Ba nodded, acknowledging Fahai.
Before her breakthrough, she could already battle top-level Great Heavenly Venerates.
Clearly, in terms of combat, her talent surpassed Fahai’s.
Now as a Great Heavenly Venerate, even an average top-level Great Heavenly Venerate couldn’t be her match.
To compete with Nu Ba, one would need to be the best among top-level Great Heavenly Venerates, or even a contender moving towards Sub-Paramount level.
But to absolutely suppress her, aside from a Sub-Paramount, it’s hard for anyone among the top-level Great Heavenly Venerates to accomplish this.
Boom.
At this moment, a battle erupted between heaven and earth.
Sun Wukong felt a movement in his heart—it was Jie fighting Sun Jue.
Why were they fighting again? Could it be that Sun Jue broke free from the Mind-controlling Spell??
That’s impossible; Sun Wukong could completely sense that he still had control over Sun Jue.
In other words, the Mind-controlling Spell hadn’t failed.
Why was Jie fighting Sun Jue?
“Great Saint, that’s Jie’s aura, and the other person seems like Sun Jue.”
Nu Ba said, also sensing the presence of both.
Sun Wukong nodded and said, “It’s them. I don’t know why they started fighting; I’ll go check it out.”
“I’ll go with you.”
Nu Ba followed Sun Wukong and left.
They reached the battlefield; Jie’s strength had grown considerably stronger than before.
Although he hadn’t become a Supreme, he was still quite formidable.
Sun Wukong had a feeling that at this moment, Jie’s strength was not weak compared to Sun Jue’s.
Clearly, he had made some progress, which prompted the fight with Jie.
The Empress of the Primordial stood aside, observing everything before her.
When she saw Sun Wukong arrive, she nodded slightly in acknowledgment.
“What’s going on?”
Sun Wukong curiously asked.
The Empress of the Primordial was amiable; she smiled and said, “Great Saint, don’t worry. My son was just defeated by Sun Jue before and felt indignant, so after some breakthroughs in his cultivation, he came to challenge Sun Jue to verify his strength.”
“He won’t win.”
Sun Wukong shook his head.
He could see at a glance that although Jie’s attacks now appeared fierce, there was still a gap in strength compared to Sun Jue.
