Chapter 936: Chapter 298: Thrown into Hell_3
“Actually, relocating to the Heavenly Court would be better.”
Ying Hook said.
The opposing party doesn’t dare to challenge the Heavenly Court, at least not now; everyone is quite aware of this.
Yet, no one mentions it.
Only Ying Hook, this clumsy fellow, brought it up, making the atmosphere subtly tense.
Most strong individuals are unwilling to enter the Heavenly Court.
For someone like the Empress, being able to hold a position in the Heavenly Court is the best choice.
She has ties to the Heavenly Court without being controlled by it.
She would lend a hand in dangerous times for the Heavenly Court.
However, such situations are rare.
The current Heavenly Court is very stable; even places like the Supreme Alliance must consider carefully before opposing it.
Without the deterrence of Lord Taishang and the Three Pure Ones, the Heavenly Court is no longer easily shaken.
With the Ancestral Dragon joining, and now the Empress too,
the Heavenly Court’s supremacy in the world has become even stronger.
“Actually, going to the Heavenly Court is also a good choice; it depends on how you decide, Empress.”
Sun Wukong laughed.
He was indifferent; Ying Hook knew this, hence he made the suggestion.
Hearing Sun Wukong’s words, the Empress thought for a moment, then shook her head and said, “I’m still accustomed to a carefree life; I’ll stay at Huaguo Mountain for a while and return when things settle down.”
As for holding office in the heavens, she indeed found it unsuitable; joining the Heavenly Court was already her limit.
Seeing the Empress say this, everyone said nothing more.
They each left their separate ways.
The Empress and others followed Sun Wukong to Huaguo Mountain.
Even the Primordial Empress couldn’t help but sigh upon arriving at Huaguo Mountain.
“This place truly is wonderful, far better than my dojo.”
Sun Wukong smiled slightly, inviting them in.
Nu Ba and others received Sun Wukong’s message and came to greet them.
They prepared grandly, without any negligence.
The people of Huaguo Mountain lined the path to welcome them.
Seeing such ceremonies, the Empress couldn’t help but smile.
“There’s no need for this; since we are friends, there’s no need for formalities, just treat me and my child normally.”
The Primordial Empress smiled gently.
Nu Ba and others quickly breathed a sigh of relief.
Initially, they thought the Primordial Empress would be difficult to deal with, given her formidable reputation.
But once they truly interacted with her, they found she was completely different from expected.
To put it simply, the Primordial Empress was indeed very easygoing, without a trace of hostility.
Sun Wukong laughed: “Certainly, though since it’s your first visit to Huaguo Mountain, we can’t be inattentive; the next time you come, it won’t be so grand.”
The Primordial Empress chuckled: “You are quite honest.”
“Haha.”
Sun Wukong laughed heartily.
The Primordial Empress also smiled; the environment and atmosphere at Huaguo Mountain made her feel very comfortable.
Compared to the imposing Heavenly Palace, choosing here was evidently more suitable.
Everyone invited the Primordial Empress to sit and prepared a banquet.
Just as Sun Wukong said, being the first visit meant a formal reception.
If there was a second visit, it surely wouldn’t be so elaborate.
Before long, others arrived, notably the Ancestral Dragon and Ao Zhan.
When they saw the Primordial Empress, they were somewhat surprised.
The Ancestral Dragon remarked: “I sensed the presence of a friend earlier but didn’t quite believe it, as you never attend any invitations; it seems time has indeed changed many things.”
Glancing at the Ancestral Dragon, the Primordial Empress calmly said: “You’re mistaken, I’m not here for a banquet, but to seek refuge.”
The Ancestral Dragon hesitated slightly, quickly asking what had happened.
The Primordial Empress explained briefly, causing the Ancestral Dragon to be startled.
“The Wood God dares to challenge the Empress — is he mad?”
The Ancestral Dragon appeared genuinely astonished.
He had heard that the Wood God was recruiting subordinates and had been dismissive about it.
But upon hearing the Empress’s words, the Ancestral Dragon believed it.
He was puzzled as to the Wood God’s motive.
Even if he gathered powerful individuals, what could he achieve? Does he intend to overturn the world?
“He aims to become the Supreme of the Three Realms, which is what he told me.”
The Primordial Empress said calmly.
The Ancestral Dragon was wide-eyed, nearly popping out.
He coughed lightly, at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and said: “He truly is mad; becoming the Supreme of the Three Realms isn’t merely about gathering strong power — even if he recruits, he won’t gather power to suppress the Three Pure Ones and might not even contend with the current Heavenly Court; it’s futile, even inviting disaster upon himself.”
“I thought so too, hence I refused him; then he tried to suppress me by force and make me his subordinate.”
The Primordial Empress said calmly.
“Are you not a match for the Wood God?”
The Ancestral Dragon was shocked.
If the Primordial Empress could defeat the Wood God, she wouldn’t need to seek refuge at Huaguo Mountain.
This truly surprised the Ancestral Dragon.
When had the Wood God’s strength reached such terrifying heights?
Glancing at the Ancestral Dragon, the Primordial Empress calmly said: “It’s obvious, if I could defeat him, I wouldn’t have come to Huaguo Mountain to hide.”
She couldn’t help but give a bitter laugh, saying: “If not for the aid from Great Sage Sun, I would probably already have been defeated by him, perhaps even forcibly controlled as his puppet.”
