578: Chapter 238: Demon Realm Invasion 578: Chapter 238: Demon Realm Invasion The Sun Shooting Divine Bow reappeared and flew out of Kunlun.
If one could obtain it, even if one couldn’t inherit the archery legacy of the Great God Great Yi, one would still have an additional powerful treasure.
In the past, the Sun Shooting Divine Bow brought down nine suns in one day, which shows how terrifying the bow is.
A thought crossed Sun Wukong’s mind, and he was about to give chase.
Great Emperor Ziwei reached out and grabbed Sun Wukong, his expression a mix of laughter and tears.
“Why join in the excitement?”
Sun Wukong glanced at him and said, “Such a fine item, should I just watch someone else take it away?
If you don’t want it, don’t stop me from getting it.”
However, Great Emperor Ziwei shook his head and replied, “It’s unattainable, the Sun Shooting Divine Bow has an owner, it cannot be obtained by just anyone.
If you don’t believe me, try to sense the Qi of the Sun Shooting Divine Bow.”
Sun Wukong was slightly stunned—the Sun Shooting Divine Bow had an owner?
Hadn’t Great Yi just died?
Following Great Emperor Ziwei’s words, Sun Wukong tried to sense it and indeed, he did not feel the Qi of the Sun Shooting Divine Bow.
He was somewhat astonished, shooting a glance at Great Emperor Ziwei.
Great Emperor Ziwei said in a deep voice, “Great Yi isn’t dead, the Sun Shooting Divine Bow has preserved a remnant of his soul and has taken him to some place.
Such a divine artifact has its own spirit, and it is very likely that the Great God Great Yi could reappear in the future.”
So that’s how it was.
Sun Wukong nodded, deciding not to chase any longer.
Since it concerned the life of the Great God Great Yi, he naturally wouldn’t pursue it.
If it were an ownerless treasure, Sun Wukong would certainly have tried to snatch it.
The only treasure handy to him was the Jingu Bang.
Even if he didn’t use the divine bow, he could give it to someone else.
But, concerning the life and death of the Great God Great Yi, he no longer thought about forcing the issue.
If Great Yi could be resurrected, a being capable of killing the likes of the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow could contend with Emperor Jun.
Today the Three Realms witnessed too many events; gods, immortals, and demons from all over were somewhat stupefied.
Their minds were in chaos as they processed these messages.
Great Emperor Ziwei and the others, meanwhile, hastened to the opposing armies.
The Jade Emperor’s five disciples were the first to flee, with no intention of staying behind.
And the other three Great Heavenly Venerates directly admitted defeat, without even attempting to flee; they wanted to pledge allegiance to Great Emperor Ziwei.
Seeing the standoff between the Jade Emperor and The Three Pure Ones, and hearing their conversation, these Great Heavenly Venerates suddenly felt a sense of crisis.
Alone, they felt too weak and vulnerable.
To survive well in these chaotic times, they needed to join a truly powerful force.
Now that the Jade Emperor’s avatar had been killed, and his true body’s whereabouts were unknown.
Even if his true body returned, he would likely become a target for The Three Pure Ones.
Such a Jade Emperor was no longer worth following.
They needed a more stable and more powerful entity, and the Ziwei Heavenly Court was their best choice.
Even if they had once been loyal to the Jade Emperor, once they sensed danger, that loyalty vanished.
In a time of chaos, self-preservation was the most important.
Loyalty was not valued.
Great Emperor Ziwei was considering whether to accept them.
Sun Wukong and the others followed suit; by now, Sun Wukong had largely recovered.
The Primordial Demonic Qi in a corner of his body was silently shedding tears—how could Sun Wukong not recover?
Just now, Sun Wukong had extracted a massive amount of mana from it, plus the elixir had healed his own body, and his injuries healed quickly.
Why was it so unlucky to have encountered such an oddity?
Not only had he subdued it, but aside from extracting energy, it was still extracting.
The Root of Immortality and the host usually had a symbiotic relationship.
It might be the first Root of Immortality to be subdued.
“I don’t trust them,” Sun Wukong said.
Upon hearing Sun Wukong’s words, the three Great Heavenly Venerates’ expressions shifted slightly.
The issue of trust was the main problem.
If Great Emperor Ziwei and his company did not trust them, they would not accept them.
The outcome of not being accepted?
Naturally, they would be killed.
With this thought, the three Great Heavenly Venerates turned pale.
They didn’t want to die yet.
The three Great Heavenly Venerates looked at each other; they could see the decision in their eyes.
“We beg Great Emperor Ziwei to employ the method of Primordial Spirit control on us until he fully trusts us, and only then to release us.”
This was a Dragon Whale, a formidable being from the Ancient Times, a descendant of a rare species crossed with the Dragon Clan and now a Great Heavenly Venerate, known as Ancestor Whale.
Although he had Dragon Clan blood, Ancestor Whale was not close to the Dragon Clan.
Because the Dragon Clan looked down upon the meager Dragon Clan bloodline of Ancestor Whale, they simply did not recognize him.
Thus, there was conflict between Ancestor Whale and the Dragon Clan.
He had claimed some territory in the Four Seas because his own strength had reached that of a Great Heavenly Venerate, so the Dragon Clan did not provoke him lightly, accepting Ancestor Whale’s presence.
Upon hearing the Jade Emperor was recruiting powerful allies, Ancestor Whale was among the first to act, rushing over and becoming a subordinate to the Jade Emperor.
He had fantasized about ruling the Four Seas after the Jade Emperor gained power.
But he never expected the Jade Emperor to crumble so quickly, and in such a short time, he was already scattered.
Joining Great Emperor Ziwei was the best choice.
Otherwise, even if he fled, he could not return to his own domain.
It was even possible that he would be hunted down and killed outright.
The Dragon Clan knew him all too well.
The other two Great Heavenly Venerates looked annoyed, glaring at Ancestor Whale.
The intentions of these two Great Heavenly Venerates differed from that of Ancestor Whale; they did not want to be controlled.
If their Primordial Spirits were held, it would mean that everything would be at the mercy of others, and with just a thought, they could control their lives and deaths.
