291: Chapter 189: Miscalculation 291: Chapter 189: Miscalculation Sun Wukong returned to the Purple Forbidden Enclosure, and the Great Emperor Ziwei looked quite solemn. He said to Sun Wukong, “You were really reckless just now. If the Elder Lord had not taken action, even if I had personally intervened, I might not have been able to bring you back today.” Sun Wukong’s expression was slightly solemn as he replied, “I indeed underestimated the situation. I didn’t expect that Tathagata would actually join forces with Shao Siming. You don’t know, but just now, Old Sun was also quite startled.” The Great Emperor Ziwei was speechless. He had thought that Sun Wukong feared neither heaven nor earth. Who knew that he could actually feel fear? A gleam flashed in the eyes of the Great Emperor Ziwei as he said, “These guys, let’s not provoke them for now. Our strength is still insufficient. Let’s first reclaim divine authority step by step under the name of the Great Heavenly Venerate. When the divine authority reaches its peak, my power will also rapidly increase under the blessing of the telekinesis of living beings. I am confident that, given two thousand years, I could reach the same level as the Jade Emperor.” Two thousand years, Sun Wukong nodded his head. This timeline was not long, given their realm. Even not advancing a single point in a hundred thousand years was quite normal. For the Great Emperor Ziwei to be confident of rivaling the Jade Emperor in two thousand years was already incredibly fast. After giving Sun Wukong a glance, a glint of light flashed in the eyes of the Great Emperor Ziwei, and he said directly, “I would like to appoint you as a Great Emperor of the Heavenly Court, so that you too can cultivate with the telekinesis of living beings, which will benefit your cultivation.” “No need.” Sun Wukong decisively refused. He was not very interested in cultivating through the telekinesis of living beings. Moreover, once he was appointed as a Great Emperor of the Heavenly Court, it would certainly divide much of the telekinesis that the Great Emperor Ziwei used for his cultivation. In that case, the Great Emperor Ziwei’s strength would not increase as quickly. What was previously mentioned as two thousand years could become five thousand years, or even twenty thousand years. The Ziwei Heavenly Court has just been established, and it needs a truly invincible Great Heavenly Venerate in charge. The Great Emperor Ziwei is the only one who might be able to advance to the level of the Jade Emperor within two thousand years. “I have Primordial Demonic Qi inside me, which I have already refined and thoroughly subdued; I am not lacking in power, what I need is only an elevation in the Taoist Realm,” Sun Wukong explained. The Great Emperor Ziwei glared. He could not help but ask, “The Root of Immortality, isn’t it supposed to provide mana to sustain immortality? It’s the first time I’ve heard about absorbing the mana of the Root of Immortality.” Sun Wukong was also stunned. Could he have been mistaken? With a doubtful face, he said, “Isn’t refining the Root of Immortality about completely conquering it, controlling the Root of Immortality, and making it serve oneself?” The Great Emperor Ziwei was even more shocked. “How is that possible? The Root of Immortality is mysterious and its origin is unknown, but even Taishang and the others have only coexisted with the Root of Immortality. They have no master-servant relationship, more like a symbiosis or cooperation. As for dominating the Root of Immortality, this is the first I’ve heard of it.” Sun Wukong suddenly realized. Primordial Demonic Qi: “Whining.” “Forget it, it’s almost the same, anyways I need mana, so I just draw it from the Primordial Demonic Qi. It is very convenient, isn’t it that as long as the Demon Dao exists, the Primordial Demonic Qi will never perish? This stuff is really useful,” said Sun Wukong, laughing, not taking it too seriously. The Great Emperor Ziwei: “...” His face showed a big character of submission. Before such a formidable person as Sun Wukong, not submitting was not an option. Primordial Demonic Qi: “The difference is huge.” Unfortunately, it was destined not to be understood by Sun Wukong. “Alright, let’s not make any more big moves recently. First, thoroughly stabilize the Underworld Court, then take down the Thunder Department, and gradually plan for other places,” said the Great Emperor Ziwei, shifting the subject, otherwise he felt he would be too disheartened. Sun Wukong nodded in agreement. He also shared this thought. The necessary tasks were almost done, and now it was just a matter of continuously reclaiming divine authority. The Ziwei Heavenly Court, though now called the Heavenly Court, only controlled the authorities that were previously in the hands of the Great Emperor Ziwei. At most, it had gained the addition of the Dragon Clan and the Netherworld. Such power was indeed not much. They still need to absorb other forces to grow stronger. The current advantage of the Ziwei Heavenly Court over the other Four Heavenly Kings was merely holding the title of Great Heavenly Venerate. Beyond that, they were roughly equivalent. If it could be said to be slightly stronger than the other Four Heavenly Kings, it was only just a bit. “What I am worried about now is the stability of the Netherworld. Some might be willing to hand over the Netherworld to the Buddhist Sect, but not necessarily willing to see us taking over the Buddhist Sect,” Sun Wukong suddenly said. The Great Emperor Ziwei’s heart stirred, knowing to whom Sun Wukong was referring. “Houtu?” Sun Wukong nodded slightly, and said with a cold sneer, “It must be the Jade Emperor and Houtu. These two won’t let us be at peace. And since the Jade Emperor wants to reduce the Great Dao of Living Beings, he will surely keep the Three Realms in chaos to achieve his goal.” The eyes of the Great Emperor Ziwei flickered with brilliance as he said in a deep voice, “That means, Houtu will definitely make a move on the Underworld Court, and even wants to take it back. It seems we need to prepare early.” The Great Emperor Ziwei pondered for a moment, then lifted his head, his eyes sparkling with determination. “Wukong, how about I go and oversee the Underworld Court?” he asked. Sun Wukong immediately shook his head and said, “Not so good.” The Great Emperor Ziwei was taken aback. Sun Wukong rolled his eyes at him and said helplessly, “How can you be even more impulsive than Old Sun? The dignified Great Heavenly Venerate actually wants to oversee the Underworld Court. If others find out, do you still want your reputation as the Great Heavenly Venerate?” The Great Emperor Ziwei gave a bitter smile. If it weren’t for the opponent being Houtu, he wouldn’t have thought of such a method.
