273: Chapter 185 Tathagata Returns_6 273: Chapter 185 Tathagata Returns_6 They did not address Sun Wukong as “brother” like Tianpeng did. Both of them were very clear, both in terms of status and personal relationship, they had not reached that level with Sun Wukong. Although the relationship between Sun Wukong and Tianpeng seemed poor on the journey, the fact that they could bicker and play showed a lot. Compared to the two of them, they seemed more like fellow disciples. Seeing the remnants of their souls, Wukong was somewhat impatient. He directly left the Netherworld. Not long after, the Heavenly Court sent people to take over the Netherworld. The ones who came were still the Ten Kings of Hell, but they were no longer avatars of Taiyi Suffering Heavenly Venerate Tianzun. After all, the avatars of Taiyi Suffering Heavenly Venerate Tianzun were on Gou Chen’s side. Great Emperor Ziwei, having conquered the Netherworld, naturally wouldn’t hand it over to the enemy, only a fool would do such a thing. He personally selected ten Kings of Hell, not regular Immortal Gods, but famous ministers from various dynasties in the mortal world. For example, King Qin Guang Jiang Xin of the first hall, was the Moiling Wei of the Wu state during the Three Kingdoms period. And the King Yama with the greatest reputation was Bao Zheng from the Song Dynasty. All the Ten Kings of Hell had such origins. Upon their arrival, they each had their duties and recruited Judges and various officials of the Yin Division; in just a few days, the entire Underworld was running as usual. This ability made even Ying Hook marvel, indeed it was astonishing. Marshal Tianpeng left some one hundred thousand troops, allowing Mu Zha and Jin Zha to station in the Underworld, before he took off. Once the shadowy soldiers recruited by the Ten Kings of Hell formed a substantial force, he would withdraw these Heavenly Soldiers and Generals. The affairs of the Yin Division, naturally, should be managed by the Yin Division itself. After all this, Tianpeng took the remnants of Little White Dragon’s soul into the Doushuai Temple, asking Elder Lord for an Elixir to help them reform their bodies. Elder Lord frowned slightly and said indifferently, “What use is there to save such ungrateful people?” It was evident that he was reluctant, unwilling to make a move. Tianpeng was flustered, somewhat at a loss. He had thought that, given Elder Lord’s fondness for him, he would be willing to help; he didn’t expect Elder Lord to say such things. There was no other implication; he simply did not want to make a move. Tianpeng looked rather pitiful, wanting to speak but hesitating. “Forget it, take them, but there won’t be a next time.” Elder Lord tossed out two Elixir pills, both were Body-Reforming Pills. As long as these two pills were introduced into their bodies, the two of them could be reformed. “Thank you, Master.” Tianpeng said excitedly. “Get out.” Lord Taishang waved his hand, sending them all out. Looking at Elder Lord, it was clear he really disliked the two, and this dislike had even started to affect Tianpeng as well. However, Tianpeng did not mind; Elder Lord would not truly be angry with him. Seeing the worried look on the remnants of Little White Dragon and Sha Wujing’s souls, he said with a smile, “Don’t worry, Elder Lord is ultimately my teacher and won’t vent his anger on me.” Sha Wujing’s face turned red, and then he said in a low voice, “We’re not worried about that, just concerned that Elder Lord dislikes us. The Elixir he provided, is it really top quality? If Elder Lord gives us a regular Body-Reforming Pill, it could delay our physical development.” Tianpeng’s expression stalled, and he frowned slightly, thinking that the two were worried about his relationship with Elder Lord. Little did he expect that was not what they were concerned about at all. They were only worried about the quality of the Elixir, fearing it would affect their own bodies. No wonder Elder Brother doesn’t like these two. Hearing their words, even Tianpeng felt a chill in his heart. Seeing that Tianpeng’s expression was off, they both realized something was amiss in their words. Little White Dragon quickly tried to make up for it, “Second Senior Brother, please don’t misunderstand, we truly didn’t mean anything else, we just care too much, and indeed Elder Lord doesn’t seem to like us very much.” Sha Wujing also caught on and quickly added, “Actually we are more concerned about the relationship between you and Elder Lord, Second Senior Brother. Although we are but remnants of souls, we have also heard in the Netherworld that you are Elder Lord’s disciple. We sincerely rejoice for you and wouldn’t want our issues to affect your relationship with Elder Lord.” Tianpeng gave a faint smile and said, “You two really are my good junior brothers, thinking of me first and foremost. Given that, I’ll just return the Body-Reforming Pill to my teacher so as not to affect our relationship. It will be a bit hard on you two junior brothers, having to cultivate as Ghost Immortals instead. Rest assured, with your original cultivation, even as remnants of souls, you could become powerful Ghost Immortals within ten thousand years. Who knows, maybe after that time, you might even be able to become Celestial Immortals.” The two were shocked, they hadn’t expected Tianpeng to actually return the Elixir. That was absolutely unacceptable to them. As for becoming Ghost Immortals within ten thousand years, what a joke! They were originally of the Celestial Immortal status, why would they cultivate in such a minor Immortal Dao? This side-path, only resorted to when there was no other choice, was difficult to achieve greatness in. Whereas the Celestial Immortal Dao was carefree and at ease. But the words had already been spoken, and now they didn’t know what to say to prevent Tianpeng from returning the pill. If they kept changing their words and offended Tianpeng, they feared they wouldn’t even be able to preserve their remnants of souls. Seeing their anxious yet helpless expressions, Tianpeng smiled faintly, feeling increasingly undisturbed inside. He gently flicked his fingers, introducing the two Body-Reforming Pills into the remnants of Little White Dragon and Sha Wujing’s souls. Instantly, their remnants grew stronger, and flesh began to regenerate. The effect of the Body-Reforming Pill was immediately evident. Both showed looks of astonishment and inner ecstasy. They’d made it; they had regained their physical bodies.
