198: Chapter 174: Ascending to the Position of Great Heavenly Venerate 198: Chapter 174: Ascending to the Position of Great Heavenly Venerate Sun Wukong couldn’t help but laugh. He slapped Great Emperor Ziwei on the shoulder and said, “Can’t you show a little ambition?” Great Emperor Ziwei was slightly startled, his gaze falling upon Sun Wukong. He was ready to become the Great Heavenly Venerate, so why did Sun Wukong still say he lacked ambition? Sun Wukong pointed at his feet and said, “Don’t go to Ling Xiao Palace, that’s the Jade Emperor’s place. If you go to Ling Xiao Palace, should the Jade Emperor return one day, you would be seen as his successor, inevitably weaker than him.” At this point, Sun Wukong paused slightly, his voice growing louder, “From now on, this Ziwei Hall will be the site of the Supreme of the Three Realms. You are still the Great Emperor Ziwei, Ziwei Heavenly Venerate.” Great Emperor Ziwei’s eyes lit up; he actually hadn’t thought of this. Fortunately, Sun Wukong reminded him, otherwise, he really might have overlooked it. To take over the position of the Jade Emperor would have indeed made him seem inferior to the Jade Emperor. “I’ll listen to you, now it depends on the arrangement of the Human Race,” said Great Emperor Ziwei, somewhat excited. If the method proposed by Sun Wukong were to be officially implemented, his day to become the Great Heavenly Venerate was evidently not far off. “No, I also need to make some preparations, lest I be caught off guard by them when the time comes.” A gleam flashed in his eyes, and Great Emperor Ziwei was also set in motion. “Now that everything has been said, Old Sun is leaving. If there’s anything you don’t understand, just ask Mysterious Spirit Elder Huang or have Taibai and the Yellow Emperor discuss it. See how to join forces to make arrangements. Rest assured, the experts I promised to bring will only be more, not fewer,” Sun Wukong finished speaking, then rode his cloud away. Watching his departing figure, Great Emperor Ziwei wore a smile. He exclaimed, “The wisest decision of my life was to form a bond with Wukong.” Tianpeng and Gold Star Taibai exchanged glances, both seeing the smile in each other’s eyes. The more they understood about Great Emperor Ziwei, the more they realized just how wrong they had been before. It was true he knew the Art of Sovereignty, but if he trusted you, he would harbor no suspicions. “Congratulations, Your Majesty, on becoming the Great Heavenly Venerate.” Gold Star Taibai and Marshal Tianpeng said in unison. Having glanced at them, Great Emperor Ziwei smiled faintly and said, “It’s not official yet, is it? Don’t speak too soon. It’s not too late to congratulate me after I truly become the Great Heavenly Venerate.” Then, wearing a smug smile, he turned and left. Tianpeng and Gold Star Taibai smiled at each other. However, they also knew that some matters needed their attention now. They had preparations to make for Great Emperor Ziwei to take that position. “Tianpeng, you hurry up and train the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, trying to form a stronger combat force. Also, I’m counting on you to win over Li Jing and his sons. Otherwise, the three of them will ultimately be a calamity,” Gold Star Taibai said, his eyes sparkling. Li Jing and his sons might be down on their luck now, but that didn’t mean they had lost their influence. The reputation of the Pagoda-Bearing King was not for nothing; many Heavenly Soldiers and Generals still trusted him deeply. Since Tianpeng took over his military power, up to now, some people were still dissatisfied. If Tianpeng’s strength were not so great, having even advanced to the Heavenly Venerate realm, combined with his strong tactics, those people might have caused more and more trouble. Tianpeng nodded, a cold light flashing in his eyes as he said, “If they don’t know what’s good for them, I’ll just eliminate them.” Gold Star Taibai was taken aback. Tianpeng now carried such a strong desire to kill. He hurriedly said, “There’s no need to kill them. If they don’t listen, just exile them. Otherwise, we won’t have a way to explain to Nezha. The Great Saint is also on good terms with Nezha. If you kill Li Jing and his sons, wouldn’t you make it difficult for the Great Saint to choose sides?” Marshal Tianpeng was at a loss for words. He chuckled disdainfully, “Do you believe it? If I eliminate Li Jing, even if Nezha were standing aside, he’d be applauding. He might even ask to deliver the final blow to Li Jing himself.” This... Considering the relationship between Nezha and Li Jing, Gold Star Taibai thought there really was such a possibility. The relationship between the father and son had deteriorated to the extreme. Nezha was indeed capable of doing such a thing. “Ahem, Marshall, it’s best to be cautious,” Gold Star Taibai said with a wry smile. Tianpeng smiled lightly, then turned to leave, leaving Gold Star Taibai with a dashing silhouette. “Don’t worry, Taibai. Within three days, I’ll settle the matter with Li Jing and his sons. They’ll either submit or they’ll disappear.” Gold Star Taibai: “...” Li Jing was in his mansion when he suddenly shuddered, puzzled as to what could have happened. He was a top-tier Celestial Immortal, long immune to heat and cold; getting sick was even more improbable. Tianpeng, in a flurry of activity, didn’t even return to his own Marshal’s Mansion but went straight to Li Mansion. When Li Jing heard that Marshal Tianpeng had come seeking an audience, he coldly said, “Not seeing him.” Although his military power had been taken, the pride of Li Jing remained. Even Marshal Tianpeng did not rank higher than him. “Hehe, is Lord Li still angry with the Marshal about the military power?” Tianpeng’s loud laughter had already entered the room. The guards were ashamed as they quickly tried to explain to Li Jing, “Lord, we’re sorry, we truly couldn’t stop him.” Li Jing knew that his guards were mere Earth Immortals. Stopping Tianpeng, who was a Heavenly Venerate, was absolutely impossible. He didn’t blame them; he just waved them off to leave.
