581: Chapter 238 Demon Realm Invasion_4 581: Chapter 238 Demon Realm Invasion_4 The Great Emperor Ziwei had already made up his mind to attack the Court of Ancient Gods, would he possibly give up?
Now within the Three Realms, is there any force that could make the Great Emperor Ziwei abandon the idea of attacking the Court of Ancient Gods?
Could it be The Three Pure Ones?
That’s not impossible.
The intentions of The Three Pure Ones are inscrutable, so it’s natural for Sun Wukong to have thought of them first.
The Eastern King gave a slight smile but did not answer Sun Wukong’s question.
He sighed and said, “You all underestimate the Jade Emperor.”
Sun Wukong scratched his head.
Is it related to the Jade Emperor again?
He was really speechless.
How much more trouble is this Jade Emperor going to cause before he’s done?
He causes so much trouble and has made so many arrangements.
However, Sun Wukong really couldn’t think of what else in the Three Realms could now be related to the Jade Emperor.
Moreover, the Jade Emperor’s avatars have been slain, and his true self has not returned.
“Wukong, do you know the origin of this world?”
The Eastern King suddenly asked.
Why is he asking about this all of a sudden?
Although Sun Wukong was perplexed, he still replied, “Lord Li created Heaven and Earth, and thus this world came into being.”
The Eastern King smiled slightly; Sun Wukong’s answer was the most common one.
He was silent for a moment.
Sun Wukong glanced at him and asked, “Is that incorrect?
Or is there some hidden truth?”
The Eastern King didn’t answer him but continued to ask, “What about before the creation of Heaven and Earth?”
“It was naturally chaos, that’s common knowledge.”
“Common knowledge is sometimes wrong,” the Eastern King suddenly said with a hint of mockery.
“This…
I, Old Sun, am a being of a later era; these things have nothing to do with Old Sun.”
“That’s true.
The knowledge of beings from later eras is determined by what those before you want you to know.
Your understanding is actually quite limited.
In fact, even the Ancient Gods may not truly know the truth.”
Sun Wukong’s eyes flashed with a gleam upon hearing the word “truth.”
However, judging by the Eastern King’s manner, even if he asked him, he probably wouldn’t tell.
Therefore, Sun Wukong didn’t press further but just watched him sigh.
This old fellow clearly had no intention of telling him anything substantial, just airing his feelings to someone who could converse.
But why come to him?
Given the Eastern King’s position, even if he wanted to confide in someone, it should be the Queen Mother of the West.
Strictly speaking, Sun Wukong and the Eastern King were on opposing sides.
He was supposed to protect the Queen Mother of the West, while Sun Wukong intended to defeat her, and might even have to slay her.
“You’re surely cursing me in your heart for speaking in riddles and not wanting to tell you the truth,”
Sun Wukong: “You’re very smart.”
“Ha ha,” the Eastern King laughed heartily, looking at Sun Wukong with interest, and said, “You are the most intriguing being I have ever seen.
Actually, I really think highly of you, do you know that?
If anyone is to reach my level in the future, or even surpass it, it must be you.”
Sun Wukong was utterly unmoved.
He had heard too many empty flatteries; this was just a higher-up blowing smoke, nothing to get excited about.
Seeing that Sun Wukong was unmoved, the Eastern King could guess what he was thinking.
“Well, today’s talk was refreshing.
Let’s talk another time.”
The Eastern King left.
Sun Wukong: “…”
This guy came here, dropped a couple of remarks, then just took off?
Sun Wukong scratched his head, realizing the other party had truly just come for a chat.
Sun Wukong had prepared for a grand battle, after all, in three days, they were to march on the Court of Ancient Gods.
But what did the Eastern King’s words mean?
The arrangements of the Jade Emperor?
Or some unexpected development?
Three days from now, marching on the Court of Ancient Gods, could something prevent them from taking action?
After thinking for a moment, Sun Wukong sent out a Jade Talisman, informing the Great Emperor Ziwei of the conversation, so he might be prepared in case something did indeed arise and they were caught off guard.
Soon, the Great Emperor Ziwei replied to Sun Wukong.
“Do not worry.”
Clearly, this emperor was full of confidence.
Seeing his confidence, Sun Wukong was no longer worried; as long as the Great Emperor Ziwei was assured, that was enough.
Sun Wukong’s eyes gleamed; in three days, the meaning of the Eastern King’s words would become clear.
If it was just a deception, the Court of Ancient Gods was surely to be destroyed.
In fact, it didn’t take until the third day, for on the second day itself, an incident occurred.
The North Heavenly Pass erupted into a terrifying battle, with supreme beings blocking the way.
The True Martial Great Emperor and others took action to intercept them.
Hundreds of thousands of Heavenly Soldiers roared, engaging in a bloody struggle.
Sun Wukong abruptly stood up.
He finally understood what had happened; the Demon Realm was at the Heavenly Pass, and on a grand scale.
From the look of it, even if the Demon Realm wasn’t striking with full force, it was not far off.
Feeling the fierce Demonic Qi, Sun Wukong’s expression became solemn.
He was well aware that even if Amitabha Buddha and the others were there, they wouldn’t be able to withstand it.
Without any hesitation, Sun Wukong rushed to the scene.
At that moment, above the Heavenly Court, the Great Emperor Ziwei was furious.
His strength was still above Sun Wukong’s.
If Sun Wukong could sense the problem at the North Heavenly Pass, naturally, he could too.
“Your Majesty, something has happened,” Thousand-Mile Eye and Sharp-Hearing Ear hurriedly came to report to the Great Emperor Ziwei.
“I already know.
The plan to march on the Court of Ancient Gods tomorrow is canceled.
Yang Jian, Tathagata Buddha, the Heavenly Venerates of the Thunder Department, and other great Heavenly Venerates, follow me to the North Heavenly Pass,”
“Yes.”
The Immortals quickly took the order.
“Marshal Tianpeng, organize the troops.
You must arrive at the North Heavenly Pass within half a day to reinforce it,” the Great Emperor Ziwei continued.
