496: Chapter 226: Great Involvement in Life and Death_2 496: Chapter 226: Great Involvement in Life and Death_2 Those who admired them were either of low cultivation or had an insignificant status.
The immortals with formidable strength didn’t care about the matters between men and women at all.
Those with great strength who were also interested in romantic affairs were, to put it plainly, extremely rare.
In the Heavenly Palace, there was only one Marshal Tianpeng.
If she could not meet a worthy partner, it was better not to marry at all.
Living freely within the Moon Palace was indeed a delightful thing.
People chatted and laughed, and as for Wu Gang, who had just been killed by Sun Wukong, nobody cared at all.
Lord Taiyin waved his hand and cast a fire of Taiyin, instantly incinerating Wu Gang’s flesh and blood.
From then on, Wu Gang no longer existed.
When Sun Wukong entered the Ziwei Heavenly Court, he directly intruded into Great Emperor Ziwei’s sleeping quarters.
Great Emperor Ziwei was meditating and almost lost control of his mana when Sun Wukong suddenly burst in.
He opened his eyes, glared at Sun Wukong, and said irritably, “Couldn’t you knock before entering?”
“Couldn’t.”
Sun Wukong answered very straightforwardly.
Great Emperor Ziwei: “…”
What could he say when dealing with this monkey?
“Give me one hundred Ziwei Immortal Elixirs.”
Sun Wukong stretched out his hand and immediately asked for one hundred Ziwei Immortal Elixirs.
Great Emperor Ziwei was initially calm, but upon hearing Sun Wukong’s words, his face was speechless.
This monkey, what did he think Ziwei Immortal Elixirs were?
Candy beans?
Asking for a hundred all at once, why doesn’t he shoot for the moon?
A hundred Ziwei Immortal Elixirs accounted for one-tenth of his stock.
Even for Great Emperor Ziwei, Ziwei Immortal Elixirs could not be supplied indefinitely.
The problem was not the difficulty of refining, but the lack of materials.
“I was almost killed, I need some Ziwei Immortal Elixirs to recuperate,”
Sun Wukong said indifferently.
Great Emperor Ziwei was about to scoff at Sun Wukong again, but after hearing his words, he was suddenly taken aback.
“What happened?”
He scrutinized Sun Wukong, then a gleam flashed in his eyes.
“No, your aura is off.
Did you just go through a great battle?
Your physical body has been reconstructed; someone actually managed to destroy your body.”
Great Emperor Ziwei looked shocked.
Given Sun Wukong’s current strength, beings capable of destroying his physical body were quite rare.
Even if Shao Siming and others took action against Sun Wukong, as long as he was slightly prepared, he could escape.
“Why didn’t I sense you fighting someone?
That’s not right.
Has someone been trying to ambush you?
What exactly happened?”
Great Emperor Ziwei asked in a deep voice.
If it weren’t for some monumental event, Sun Wukong wouldn’t have sustained such injuries.
Sun Wukong recounted the events that had transpired above the Moon Palace.
Upon hearing Sun Wukong’s words, a spark of realization flickered in Great Emperor Ziwei’s eyes.
He said gravely, “I didn’t expect Lord Taiyin to have done so much for the Heaven and Earth.
I also hadn’t realized that for years now, forces from beyond had been assaulting the Heaven and Earth Barrier, and this time they nearly succeeded.
Luckily, you stopped them.
If Changxi had returned, with her methods, she surely could have brought back others.
Then the Three Realms would have been doomed.”
Great Emperor Ziwei spoke gravely, his eyes filled with deep solemnity.
This time, if Sun Wukong hadn’t been there, Changxi and others might have succeeded.
It appears that the Ancient Gods from beyond didn’t simply rely on remnants within the Three Realms to weaken the Great Dao of Living Beings.
They were also working on a way to breach the Heaven and Earth Barrier.
Of course, this also made sense.
They were the most powerful beings between Heaven and Earth, even including three Supreme Rulers of the Three Realms.
People like these, how could they just sit by and wait for their demise?
They would certainly study how to return.
Countless ages had passed, and it was not surprising that they found some ways.
Even if they returned, it would not be surprising either.
After these words had fallen, Great Emperor Ziwei gave Sun Wukong a look and rebuked him somewhat dissatisfiedly, “You monkey, you are too impulsive.
Even if you couldn’t stop them from coming in, there was no need to risk your life.
What if your calculations were wrong?
What would you have me do?”
Sun Wukong frowned and couldn’t help but say, “Can you not speak those disgusting words?
It sounds like there’s something improper going on between us.”
Great Emperor Ziwei snorted coldly, “I don’t care what others think, I only know that the presence of Ziwei Heavenly Court today owes more than half of its strength to you.
Without your connections, Ziwei Heavenly Court would be nothing, so you absolutely cannot afford problems.”
Having said this, Great Emperor Ziwei said earnestly, “Wukong, sometimes you should really think about it.
It’s not just about you anymore.
Your life and death involve too many people, so you must not recklessly risk your life.”
Sun Wukong was still somewhat resentful.
But hearing Great Emperor Ziwei say so, he also felt that the Emperor had a point.
His life and death now involved more than just himself.
There were too many people closely connected to him.
Not to mention afar, just the Eight Immortals.
If Sun Wukong were to perish, they would lose their protection.
There was also Great Emperor Ziwei, who, without the support of Sun Wukong’s faction, might not be able to secure his position as the Great Heavenly Venerate of Heavenly Court.
That was why Great Emperor Ziwei was so tense and serious upon hearing that Sun Wukong had almost died.
Although he agreed with Great Emperor Ziwei’s words in his heart, Sun Wukong still said, “Old Sun understands, you are too naggy.
I know what you know, why do you need to say it?”
Seeing Sun Wukong’s impatient expression, Great Emperor Ziwei couldn’t help but laugh and cry.
However, he could see that Sun Wukong had indeed taken his words to heart.
Great Emperor Ziwei was somewhat reassured, and he took out hundreds of Ziwei Immortal Elixirs to give to Sun Wukong.
“Later, I will send someone to deliver some cultivation resources to your Huaguo Mountain.
After all, you now have quite a few subordinates, and you should provide them with some resources for cultivation; otherwise, it would not be good if too much time passes,” Great Emperor Ziwei thought aloud.
He planned to send cultivation resources there periodically.
Sun Wukong, however, did not refuse.
Huaguo Mountain was indeed too poor, even the items used to host guests were provided by Lady Dragon of Wealth.
This made him quite embarrassed; he couldn’t always use Lady Dragon of Wealth’s items, especially since there was no special relationship between them.
Even if there was a relationship, as a man, Sun Wukong could not accept constantly using a woman’s possessions.
The resources provided by Great Emperor Ziwei relieved some of Sun Wukong’s urgent needs.
“Then Old Sun thanks you.
By the way, I have another matter,”
“There are only a hundred Immortal Elixirs left,” Great Emperor Ziwei immediately said.
He feared that Sun Wukong would ask for more Immortal Elixirs.
Even though he was rich in the Three Realms, he could not sustain such expenditure.
It wasn’t that Ziwei Immortal Elixirs were hard to refine, but the ingredients needed time to mature; they couldn’t truly be consumed like candy.
Not even the Dragon Clan could bear it, let alone Great Emperor Ziwei.
Sun Wukong waved his hand and said, “Not about that, but about Marshal Tianpeng.
You should know, Marshal Tianpeng and Nishang Fairy are in love.
Lord Taiyin has already agreed to marry Nishang Fairy to Tianpeng.
I want you to issue a decree to grant the marriage.”
It turned out to be about this, and Great Emperor Ziwei instantly breathed a sigh of relief.
He laughed and said, “This is easy.
There’s certainly no problem with granting a marriage for Marshal Tianpeng’s grand wedding.
The only question is whether Marshal Tianpeng’s wife agrees or not.
You might not know, but after Tathagata’s last visit to the Heavenly Court, he handed over Gao CuiLan’s soul to Tianpeng.
Tianpeng has already had Elder Lord recreate a real body for his wife.”
Sun Wukong smiled and said, “Don’t worry about that.
Tianpeng has learned the technique of bearing hardships, and with that fool’s fondness for beauties, by now, his wife is probably eager to fill the house for Tianpeng.”
Great Emperor Ziwei immediately revealed a smile that all men understand.
In some respects, Tianpeng indeed had skills.
Originally when he was exiled to the mortal realm, Lady Luan took him in, making him a live-in son-in-law, but it didn’t take long before Lady Luan died.
She was a demoness, and had been with Tianpeng for only a few years.
Let alone Gao CuiLan, who naturally couldn’t bear it even more.
