495: Chapter 226: Matters of Life and Death are of Great Significance 495: Chapter 226: Matters of Life and Death are of Great Significance Lu Dongbin could only sigh that Wu Gang was courting death by claiming that Sun Wukong couldn’t touch him.
If it were someone else, perhaps they would show some respect to Lord Taiyin; at the very least, they would wait until Lord Taiyin had awakened to let Lord Taiyin deal with Wu Gang.
Regrettably, Wu Gang encountered Sun Wukong.
Even though Sun Wukong held considerable respect for Lord Taiyin,
he still annihilated Wu Gang.
The Great Sage Equalling Heaven could not tolerate such provocation; Wu Gang’s words were essentially seeking death.
To say nothing of Lord Taiyin, even if it were a subordinate of the Great Emperor Ziwei speaking so brazenly in front of Sun Wukong, he would have swatted them dead with a single slap.
Facing such an annoying person, he would not spare anyone’s face.
Before long, Lord Taiyin and the others woke up.
She looked up, did not see Wu Gang,
but when she saw a mass of mangled flesh on the ground, Lord Taiyin had already guessed what had happened.
Yet, she asked nothing of Wu Gang’s fate, instead expressing her gratitude to Sun Wukong.
“Thank you, Great Saint, for intervening.
You blocked my mother’s return and even saved my life.
Such a great favor, I will never forget.”
Lord Taiyin thanked Sun Wukong.
Lu Dongbin, with a smile, remarked, “Lord Taiyin, you really must thank the Great Saint thoroughly this time; while the Great Saint was blocking Changxi, Emperor Jun made a move, and the Great Saint had to self-destruct to repel them.
He nearly encountered a deadly calamity.
If not for the Primordial Demonic Qi reviving the Great Saint, he would have been gone by now.”
Instantly shocked, Lord Taiyin had not expected matters to have escalated to such a severity.
Sun Wukong, having an Immortal Body and supported by the Primordial Demonic Qi, had nearly perished there.”
If she had intervened this time, most likely she really would have fallen there, and moreover, there was a high possibility that she could have failed to stop them.
Even if she had recovered her original strength, the outcome would have been the same.
Sun Wukong glared at Lu Dongbin and said, “Indeed, I encountered some danger, but not as bizarre as Dongbin describes.
I still had some assurance, the Primordial Demonic Qi is my foundation.”
Lord Taiyin knew, although Sun Wukong spoke lightly, the danger involved was imaginable.
She thanked Sun Wukong once again.
Sun Wukong shook his head, his voice heavy, “Lord, you need not thank me.
You have sacrificed too much for the universe; it is the beings of the universe who should be thanking you.”
Lord Taiyin simply smiled bitterly and shook her head, not responding.
But Sun Wukong knew clearly, with the return of Emperor Jun and the others, the one truly suffering was Lord Taiyin.
By opposing her own parents, she was being disloyal and unfilial.
But if she did not oppose her parents, she would feel she had let down the beings of the universe.
In either scenario, the choice was hard for Lord Taiyin.
Having chosen the beings of the universe, she would be spurned by her parents and kin.
Such pressure was not something everyone could bear.
“Since you, Lord, are all right now, Old Sun should likewise take his leave, and incidentally allow Tianpeng to propose marriage.”
Sun Wukong prepared to bid farewell.
This was the Moon Palace, and as a Male Immortal, there really was no need for him to linger.
However, Lu Dongbin somewhat reluctantly wanted to stay, being a Flirtatious Immortal, the Moon Palace was simply his ideal Holy Land.
Though he did nothing, just the sight of so many charming women thrilled his heart.
Sun Wukong immediately pulled him along and left the Moon Palace.
The Jade Rabbit and others approached to inquire about Lord Taiyin’s injuries.
Lord Taiyin smiled, “It is no matter.
Having taken the Nine-Turn Great Restoration Pill given by the Great Saint, my injuries have fully healed.
But you silly girls better not think of doing such foolish things again.
If I can’t defeat someone, what use is there in you girls rushing forward?”
The Fairy Maidens felt somewhat embarrassed.
They too had merely acted impulsively at the moment, without considering the disparity in strength.
In the end, they couldn’t even make a move, nor could they even get close.
Glancing at them, Lord Taiyin thoughtfully said, “However, your strengths are indeed too weak.
So, starting today, I will begin to guide you in your cultivation.
How far you can cultivate will depend on yourselves.”
“That’s wonderful.”
“Thank you, Lord.”
“Thank you, Lord.”
The Fairy Maidens excitedly said.
Having Lord Taiyin personally guide them in cultivation was naturally an exciting matter.
Knowing that Lord Taiyin’s strength was at the level of a Great Heavenly Venerate,
to be instructed by a Great Heavenly Venerate in cultivation was something even Celestial Immortals would be excited about, let alone these Fairy Maidens, some of whom were merely Earth Immortals, and couldn’t even achieve immortality.
To achieve immortality, one must attain the cultivation level of a Celestial Immortal.
Earth Immortals just lived longer, but once their lifespans were up, they still had to face the fading that leads to reincarnation.
Nishang Fairy hesitated.
She was about to be married off, yet now, Lord Taiyin was preparing to personally teach them cultivation.
Seeing Nishang Fairy’s hesitant expression, Lord Taiyin knew her thoughts well.
She gave a slight smile and said, “You silly girl, even if you are married off, I never said you can’t return to the Moon Palace.
Moreover, after you marry Marshal Tianpeng, he can also guide your cultivation.
As a disciple of Elder Lord, his cultivation methods are naturally profound.
You still worry about cultivation?”
At this, Nishang Fairy suddenly realized.
She immediately felt a bit embarrassed; it seemed she had indeed been overthinking.
At this moment, Nishang Fairy instead began to look forward to that day.
People stepped forward, congratulating Nishang Fairy.
Indeed, the Moon Palace didn’t forbid marriage; but, finding someone like Marshal Tianpeng, a great figure, was not easy.
