610: Chapter 241 Primordial Phoenix 610: Chapter 241 Primordial Phoenix Reminded by Gold Star Taibai, Sun Wukong and Great Emperor Ziwei both restrained themselves a bit.
Their expressions were somewhat awkward; they had indeed been a little too unrestrained just now.
“Nezha, Jin Zha, and Mu Zha, the three of you may go down and rest, heal your wounds well; the rest of you stay here, let us discuss how to take down the Court of Ancient Gods,”
Great Emperor Ziwei said sternly, finally getting to the point.
All present felt a jolt in their hearts, they knew that Great Emperor Ziwei would not let this go easily.
Since the Court of Ancient Gods dared to make a move against them, Great Emperor Ziwei would definitely strike back.
They all understood the emperor’s character too well.
Yang Jian considered for a moment before saying, “Your Majesty, now is indeed a good time for retaliation.
If the Eastern King could make a move, and we deploy some powerful beings, taking down the Court of Ancient Gods would not be a difficult task.”
“I was thinking the same, but the question is whether the Eastern King is willing to take action?
Given his relationship with the Queen Mother of the West, it’s possible he will be very resistant, and I do not wish to force him over this matter,”
Great Emperor Ziwei said in a deep voice.
For the sake of Queen Mother of the West, the Eastern King was even willing to become his subordinate, showing the extent of the Eastern King’s protection of her.
Given this, would the Eastern King be willing to help them against the Court of Ancient Gods?
Tathagata Buddha suddenly asked, “Your Majesty, did you notice the expression of the Eastern King just now?
He does not seem to object to becoming Your Majesty’s subordinate, and even appeared somewhat pleased, which is the part I find most puzzling.”
“I noticed it too,”
Sun Wukong said.
Great Emperor Ziwei nodded; he had noticed as well.
Great Emperor Ziwei still found it very strange.
Logically, such powerful beings did not want restrictions, not being someone’s subordinate would be the best choice.
However, it seemed that the Eastern King was actually quite happy to become his subordinate.
This left Great Emperor Ziwei somewhat perplexed.
He certainly did not naively think that the Eastern King was so intimidated by his imperial hegemony that he willingly became his subordinate.
That kind of thing only happened in storytellers’ tales.
“There must be something fishy here,”
Sun Wukong said confidently.
The others rolled their eyes; wasn’t that stating the obvious?
Sun Wukong let out a hehe with a smile; he had done it on purpose.
“The atmosphere was too serious, Old Sun decided to liven things up a bit,”
The audience was speechless.
If it weren’t for Sun Wukong’s words, someone would have already scolded him.
However, after Sun Wukong’s disruption, the solemn atmosphere did lighten quite a bit.
“Talking so much is of no use, let’s call back the Eastern King and ask him.
If he is willing to take action, we’ll make arrangements; if he is not, let the Eastern King guard the entrance to the Demon Realm, and we will act on our own to take down the Court of Ancient Gods,”
Sun Wukong said seriously, expressing his thoughts.
Everyone’s eyes brightened; this was an idea.
If the Eastern King could guard the entrance to the Demon Realm, they would have nothing to worry about.
The Court of Ancient Gods, after all, could be taken down by them.
“Let’s discuss this matter further and carefully consider it,”
Great Emperor Ziwei said with a grave voice.
Sun Wukong excused himself, finding scheming to be the most boring thing.
With Tathagata Buddha, that old coin, around, he was not worried at all.
Nevertheless, Sun Wukong also told Great Emperor Ziwei to notify him once they had hatched a plan.
Then, he would immediately come to help.
Naturally, Great Emperor Ziwei was willing and nodded in agreement right away.
Sun Wukong left, mainly because it was indeed too boring there.
On his way to Huaguo Mountain, as he passed by the East Sea, Sun Wukong felt a pang in his heart, sensing that the East Sea was somewhat out of the ordinary that day.
“Could something have happened in the East Sea?”
Sun Wukong muttered.
He contacted the old Dragon King through a secret technique.
Upon receiving Sun Wukong’s message, the old Dragon King said with a smile, “Great Saint, it’s been a long time.”
“Ao Guang, something seems off about the East Sea today; has there been an issue?”
Sun Wukong inquired.
“There are some issues, but they are minor.
Great Saint needn’t worry, we can resolve them ourselves; they’re just little troubles,”
Ao Guang replied with a laugh, his attitude quite casual.
Seeing such a response, Sun Wukong also felt that there was probably no significant problem with the East Sea.
Otherwise, the Dragon King would not be so relaxed.
If there were indeed real issues, the Dragon King would rejoice to get Sun Wukong’s help.
Today he declined, indicating that there truly was no problem in the East Sea.
Sun Wukong immediately lost interest and made his way back to Huaguo Mountain.
But just then, a dharmic form appeared.
It was a Phoenix, emanating a terrifying aura.
Although it was not the true body that had come, the intense Phoenix True Fire reddened the sky.
The Phoenix’s wings spanned thousands of miles, concealing the sun.
Sun Wukong was taken aback, stopping in his tracks to stare at the Phoenix, his expression becoming grave.
This was merely a Dao Body, but it was clearly directed at him.
“Primordial Phoenix,”
Sun Wukong immediately recognized the identity of the visitor.
This was the Primordial Phoenix, the progenitor of the Phoenix Clan.
Moreover, she was the mother of the Golden-Winged Roc and Peacock Mahamayuri.
The Phoenix, embracing the Yin and Yang energies, produced the Peacock and Great Roc.
Of course, Sun Wukong always scoffed at this claim.
He thought it more likely that the Primordial Phoenix had stolen from some unknown Ancient Demon to bear these two monstrous children.
The Primordial Phoenix, concerned about losing face, probably concocted this story.
Who has so much Yin and Yang energy to mingle?
Having killed the Golden-Winged Roc, Sun Wukong realized that the Primordial Phoenix had come to cause trouble.
