303: Chapter 191: Truly a Demon_5 303: Chapter 191: Truly a Demon_5 Upon hearing Yang Jian’s words, the Great Emperor Ziwei burst into hearty laughter. As for who would be suitable, in the Three Realms, no one was more fitting than Yang Jian. He was valiant and skilled in battle without being reckless, upright without being inflexible, and always had sound reasoning behind his actions. Being able to bring Yang Jian into his fold, making him a Judicial Deity, was undoubtedly his greatest gain today. “Great Heavenly Venerate, what will I do?” Nezha hurriedly asked. Glancing at Nezha, the Great Emperor Ziwei said with a smile, “Third Prince, you are too impulsive. I presume you would not enjoy power and status, so become the deputy to the Judicial Deity.” Nezha was immediately overjoyed. He certainly had no desire to be an official. As long as he could be with his second brother, battling demons and evil spirits every day, that was far better than any official position. “Good, Great Emperor Ziwei, you are so much better than that old Jade Emperor, I fully support you as the Great Heavenly Venerate,” Nezha said with a beaming smile. Everyone laughed. However, they all understood very well that Nezha was quite intelligent; he simply didn’t bother with overthinking things. This kind of simplicity was quite endearing to others. “That settles it then. I, Old Sun, should also go back to rest awhile,” Sun Wukong said with a laugh. Although he ultimately survived, he had expended a great deal of vital energy and origin. Especially that last time, had it not been for the Primordial Demonic Qi, Sun Wukong would have vanished from this world. This experience provided Sun Wukong with much insight and a clearer understanding of his own strength. After greeting everyone, Sun Wukong left without waiting for a response. Watching Sun Wukong depart, the Great Emperor Ziwei remarked, “This time, Wukong must have received quite the shock.” “Yes, nearly being killed by his own master. Even though he had long since lost any expectations from the Jade Emperor, it must still have struck a heavy blow to him,” Yang Jian added, his eyes filled with concern. He was worried Sun Wukong might not recover from this setback. The Great Emperor Ziwei said with a laugh, “However, I believe Wukong will overcome this. He is not an ordinary individual. Such matters hardly count as a blow to him.” He was quite optimistic about Sun Wukong and did not think such an event could impact him greatly. Indeed, upon returning to Huaguo Mountain, Sun Wukong immediately entered closed-door cultivation. Having severely depleted his origin, he consumed a Nine-Turn Great Restoration Pill and began to recover. An hour later, Sun Wukong opened his eyes and swallowed five more Ziwei Immortal Elixirs in succession. During the battle, he hadn’t realized it, but after the battle concluded, he understood just how serious his injuries were. It appeared that being undying or immortal did not mean one could not be hurt. When faced with a powerful enough blow, he too could be injured, even killed. Sun Wukong, however, was not at all surprised; where in this world was true immortality to be found? Nu Ba and the others showed worried expressions, fully aware that Sun Wukong was seriously injured this time. Otherwise, he would not have immediately begun closed-door cultivation upon his return. The battle in the Netherworld brought a brief moment of peace to the Three Realms. But soon, the news of Yang Jian being appointed as a Judicial Deity spread like wildfire, stirring up significant turmoil throughout the Three Realms. No one could have anticipated that the Great Emperor Ziwei would appoint Yang Jian as a Judicial Deity. By now, most immortals believed that the Jade Emperor was not dead, and that the Great Emperor Ziwei’s assumption as the Great Heavenly Venerate was a declaration of an inevitable battle with the Jade Emperor. Yang Jian was the Jade Emperor’s nephew, yet the Great Emperor Ziwei dared to appoint him as a Judicial Deity. Even though everyone was aware of the rift between Yang Jian and the Jade Emperor, the immortals couldn’t help but admire the Great Emperor Ziwei’s courage upon learning of this news. At the same time, many former members of the Heavenly Court began to defect. One of the four great Heavenly Masters, Sa Shoujian, surprisingly approached and joined the Ziwei Heavenly Court on his own initiative. This shook the immortals of the Three Realms, for Sa Shoujian was the master of the Royal Spiritual Official. His joining the Ziwei Heavenly Court was assumed to be for the sake of vengeance. In reality, far from seeking revenge, he committed himself to assisting the development of the Ziwei Heavenly Court, offering numerous suggestions upon his arrival, far outshining Ge Xuan in his contribution. However, the people of the Ziwei Heavenly Court were still wary of Sa Shoujian. Sa Shoujian, for his part, remained unconcerned. He told them that as a Heavenly Master, his duty was to protect the common people, not a traitor. The Royal Spiritual Official had colluded with the Jade Emperor, clearly conspiring for something detrimental to the living beings of the world. As a Daoist Sect Heavenly Master, how could he possibly seek revenge for such a person? If the Royal Spiritual Official had not already been dead, Sa Shoujian even considered expelling him from his sect. Hearing his words, everyone finally felt relieved. Of course, they remained cautious, because one can never truly know what’s in another’s heart. Yet the Great Emperor Ziwei demonstrated great boldness, appointing him as a Heavenly Master in exactly the same position as he had under the Jade Emperor. Sa Shoujian himself wasn’t bothered. Strictly speaking, someone in his position should have expected a promotion, even if only in name. However, he understood the Great Emperor Ziwei’s approach. After all, his true intentions were inscrutable to others. For the Great Emperor Ziwei to act as he did was beyond reproach. Just receiving the position of Heavenly Master was already a generous gesture. After all, the previous Ge Xuan had not exactly performed impressively in the service of the Great Emperor Ziwei. Yang Jian also moved to the Heavenly Court and became a permanent resident. As the Judicial Deity, he had numerous matters to deal with every day. In fact, the Great Emperor Ziwei left ninetey percent of the affairs unchecked, allowing Yang Jian to make decisions. This left Yang Jian rather speechless, but fortunately, his efficiency in handling affairs was high, and he quickly resolved them.
