479: Chapter 223 The World Has Changed_5 479: Chapter 223 The World Has Changed_5 This stirred his blood, but at the same time, he was somewhat puzzled.
98% of the living beings recognized him, but what about those remaining beings?
“There are always naysayers among the living, no matter how well you do, there will always be some who express dissatisfaction.
Those remaining beings are just like that, you can safely ignore them.”
Sun Wukong grinned.
That made sense, and Great Emperor Ziwei felt relieved.
He too had been overthinking; it’s not that he didn’t understand this principle.
Now, it was Wukong who enlightened him, which made him laugh and cry at his own silliness.
After becoming the Great Heavenly Venerate, he had indeed been worrying too much.
All he needed to do was to do what he thought was right and have a clear conscience.
The group discussed for a while and then went their separate ways.
Great Emperor Ziwei actually wanted Sun Wukong to accompany him to the Heavenly Court, but Sun Wukong was not willing.
He told Great Emperor Ziwei that the human realm needed someone in charge.
And he would be in charge of the human realm so that he could act at the first sign of major trouble.
With an Undying Body, Sun Wukong might not be invincible in terms of strength.
But when it came to buying time, giving the Heavenly Court some time to react, he was definitely the most suitable one.
As time went by, one day, Sun Wukong’s strength would also be ranked among the strongest.
With Sun Wukong in charge of the human realm, Great Emperor Ziwei was most reassured.
The Four Seas had the Dragon Clan, the human realm had Sun Wukong, and the Netherworld had Ying Hook in charge.
Now Ying Hook was about to break through, stepping into the realm of the Great Heavenly Venerate.
The strength of the Heavenly Court had grown to a terrifying extent without notice.
Thinking about it, the strength of the Ziwei Heavenly Court at the moment was actually not weaker than during the era of the Jade Emperor.
In fact, in terms of cohesion, it was even stronger than in the era of the Jade Emperor.
This achievement in just a little over a hundred years could be described as astonishing.
Everyone took their leave, heading back home.
However, Taotie also said that the Dragon Clan would keep an eye on the news of the Earth Demon God and Zhu Long.
If anything was discovered, they would immediately inform the Heavenly Court and Sun Wukong, and then use all their strength to hunt them down.
Within Ling Xiao Palace, only the Jade Emperor and Lady Houtu remained.
The appearance of the Earth Demon God and Zhu Long darkened their expressions.
“Failed?”
The Jade Emperor gave a light smile, not surprised in the least.
Lady Houtu, on the other hand, was scrutinizing the two, her curiosity about the Earth Demon God and Zhu Long evident.
She had not expected the Jade Emperor to be in contact with these two.
Then, Houtu thought of a possibility and asked, surprised, “My lord, could it be that Zhu Long was released by you?
And did you also open the seal of the Demon Realm?”
Glancing at Houtu, the Jade Emperor shook his head and said, “It has nothing to do with me, I didn’t do it.”
She was wrong in her guess?
The Jade Emperor wouldn’t lie to her now, meaning that these two were indeed not released by him.
This was quite a surprise to Houtu.
She had thought the Jade Emperor was behind this, but to her astonishment, he wasn’t.
“Your Majesty, why didn’t you take action just now?
If you had taken action, Sun Wukong might not have survived,” the Earth Demon God said with dissatisfaction.
They had invited the Jade Emperor to act, but were refused.
In the Earth Demon God’s view, if the Jade Emperor had been willing to make a move, Sun Wukong would surely have died without a doubt.
After all, Sun Wukong was but a Heavenly Venerate, and no matter how strong he was, he couldn’t possibly be a match for the Jade Emperor.
With the strength of the Jade Emperor, killing Sun Wukong really wouldn’t have been difficult.
The Jade Emperor smiled lightly and said, “I originally disagreed with you taking action against Sun Wukong.
He has an Undying Body and the Root of Immortality, Primordial Demonic Qi.
Who do you think could kill him easily?
Even if The Three Pure Ones wanted him dead, they would need to spend some time.”
“Primordial Demonic Qi.”
The eyes of the Earth Demon God flashed with intensity.
They hadn’t been in the Three Realms for long and didn’t know much about Sun Wukong or the fact that he possessed Primordial Demonic Qi.
Nodding affirmatively, the Jade Emperor confirmed it.
“Last time I ambushed Sun Wukong, I struck with all my might, destroying his Undying Body, but regrettably, I was unaware of his Primordial Demonic Qi.
The Qi saved Sun Wukong, enabling him to resurrect, and now, his strength has grown so much more than it was then.
Trying to kill him now would be many times more difficult than it was at that time,” the Jade Emperor said solemnly.
He also felt a headache.
The Jade Emperor did not fear an opponent with higher strength, after all, aside from The Three Pure Ones and the Supreme of the Three Realms, no one’s strength would be much higher than his.
But the Jade Emperor did not like those with an Undying Body; such people were too hard to kill, very difficult to extinguish completely.
Although the Jade Emperor also knew that in this world, there is actually no real Undying Body.
The so-called immortality also had certain limits, but those limits were hard to reach.
Therefore, such people are called Undying Bodies.
Sun Wukong’s so-called Undying Body was just like that.
The Earth Demon God and Zhu Long felt their hearts sink.
No wonder the Jade Emperor refused to let them go after Sun Wukong; such a person was indeed difficult to deal with.
And Sun Wukong was not that rash man; although arrogant, he absolutely did not mind calling friends for help.
Waiting for Sun Wukong to be alone was almost impossible.
He always had a group of experts with him, and in a critical moment, they would converge to support him.
They simply had no opportunity to attack Sun Wukong at full strength.
Just like earlier when Sun Wukong suspected that the transformed Ao Guang was a fake, he immediately notified White Tiger and Taotie, who came to aid immediately without a moment’s rash decision to confront him directly.
Bold yet cautious, powerful yet not impetuous, it was very hard to seize the chance to capture and kill such a person.
