252: Chapter 183: Take a Strike from Old Sun 252: Chapter 183: Take a Strike from Old Sun Of course, he wouldn’t speak such disheartening words. Once said, what confidence would his subordinates have in him? Baize smiled faintly, saying, “Alright, recently the Three Realms have been chaotic. You all must be cautious. Just wait until my lord returns, then we need not consider the likes of Eastern Emperor Tai Yi or Sun Wukong. They will all be insignificant.” “Yes,” they replied. The crowd was immediately full of confidence. Baize pondered, realizing he needed to gather some allies. On their side, they lacked a real Great Heavenly Venerate powerhouse. Therefore, no matter the circumstances, they found it difficult to gain the upper hand. Just like Sun Wukong’s battles and their encounters with Shao Siming had shown. They must find a Great Heavenly Venerate in order to truly establish a foothold and accomplish something in the Three Realms. Who could that person be? Baize thought to himself silently. Suddenly, his eyes lit up. Perhaps, that person could be persuaded. But, he needed to prepare and not hastily approach, or else he could easily be captured by the other party. Thinking quickly, Baize entered a dream to seek out that powerful being using this method. “Who is it?” Emperor Gou Chen spun around, shouting coldly. He remembered sitting upon his throne, contemplating the matters of the Three Realms. But, a wave of drowsiness came, and he was dragged into a dream. Emperor Gou Chen immediately realized someone had pulled him into this dream. Turning around, he saw Baize, who was smiling and staring at him. Frowning slightly, Emperor Gou Chen spoke somewhat coldly, “Baize, what is the meaning of this? Why drag me into a dream?” Baize smiled faintly, saying, “I am here to propose a cooperation with your highness.” “Cooperate with me? What good would cooperation with you and your ilk bring me?” Emperor Gou Chen chuckled coldly, full of disdain. Baize smiled gently; with a thought, the surroundings transformed. On top of Ling Xiao Palace, Emperor Gou Chen sat on the Great Heavenly Venerate’s throne, with Myriad Immortals congratulating him. Below, a crowd of people knelt, all chanting for the long life of Gou Chen, the Great Heavenly Venerate. This made Emperor Gou Chen’s breathing hasten. Even though it was a dream, he felt his entire head swelling and his whole being seemed to float. Taking a deep breath, Emperor Gou Chen calmed his emotions. He stared at Baize, asking coldly, “What do you mean by this?” Baize smiled faintly and retorted, “Does the emperor not wish to become a Great Heavenly Venerate?” Emperor Gou Chen didn’t hide his ambition, stating coldly, “Of course, I desire to become a Great Heavenly Venerate, even fervently so.” This was a dream, and he dared to express his ambition. Moreover, since the other party was Baize, Emperor Gou Chen wasn’t worried about him divulging it. Even if Baize did tell others, it wouldn’t make any difference, nor would it affect him in any way. “Cooperate with me, and I will help you become a Great Heavenly Venerate,” Baize said gravely. He revealed his goal, wanting Emperor Gou Chen to become his collaborator. Hearing this, Emperor Gou Chen couldn’t help but laugh. Baize frowned, asking somewhat displeasedly, “What are you laughing at?” “Laughing at your absurdity. You, helping me become a Great Heavenly Venerate? On what basis? Because you hide away and scurry about like a maggot, not even daring to show your face?” Baize’s expression changed in an instant. He hadn’t expected Emperor Gou Chen to speak of him in such a way. Even calling him maggot-like, barely daring to show his face. Seeing Baize’s angry expression, Emperor Gou Chen sneered, “Indeed, I do intend to become a Great Heavenly Venerate, but you are underestimating me. Cooperate with you? On what grounds? I am already one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Heavenly Court. I aim to become a Great Heavenly Venerate through my own merit. Your external assistance is beneath my dignity.” With that, Emperor Gou Chen sneered, “You think I don’t understand your goal? It’s merely to use me, to bring Emperor Jun that Demon Head back. Baize, you are indeed underestimating me. Why would I bring that Demon Head Emperor Jun back, even if it means not becoming a Great Heavenly Venerate? I would never do such a thing.” Baize forced himself to calm down, saying coldly, “Emperor Jun, be clear, if you cooperate with my lord, once my lord returns, he can make you a Great Heavenly Venerate.” “And what about Emperor Jun?” Emperor Gou Chen countered. Baize seemed already prepared with an answer, smiling as he said, “My lord will remain the Heavenly Emperor, and you, the Great Heavenly Venerate. You can be equals.” Emperor Gou Chen couldn’t help but laugh out loud, speaking disdainfully, “There are no two suns in the sky, no two rulers over the people. Your words are utterly ludicrous. If you hadn’t identified yourself as Baize, I might even think you were some fool who had wandered in, joking with me again.” Baize: “...” “Leave.” Emperor Gou Chen willed it and left the dream. Baize sighed. He had thought Emperor Gou Chen had been driven mad by the current situation; yet, he had underestimated him. He had found Emperor Gou Chen still so composed, giving him no chance at all. It seemed finding a Great Heavenly Venerate-level master was no easy task. Baize sighed inwardly and decided to search thoroughly. As for Sun Wukong, he went to three destroyed Great Sage Sect shrines and observed for a long while before leaving. Atop Mount Ling, Sun Wukong arrived, facing the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas alone. Everyone was somewhat panicked because every time Sun Wukong came, it meant the death of some. Was he here to cause trouble again? However, he didn’t start fighting without greeting, which put everyone slightly at ease. “You rascal monkey, why have you come to my Mount Ling?” Virudhaka Bodhisattva asked coldly. Sun Wukong ignored him, instead speaking to Lamp-Burning Ancient Buddha, “Take me to see him once; I have something to ask.”
