328: Chapter 195: Unreliable Character_7 328: Chapter 195: Unreliable Character_7 This was his understanding of power, which instantly made everyone present feel as though a light had been turned on before their eyes. The words of Sun Wukong were like striking a lamp within their hearts. They pursued realms and sought more exquisite Immortal Techniques and Divine Skills, yet they forgot about the most fundamental thing, which was power. Whether it was Immortal Techniques, martial combat skills, or the Power of the Great Dao, the most fundamental aspect was still power. Thus, as long as one possessed enough power, using Mana to break through Divine Skills wasn’t a difficult task. This was stated for someone like Sun Wukong. Should it have been someone else, even if they could comprehend this principle, it wasn’t necessarily possible for them to achieve it. After all, amongst heaven and earth, there was only one Sun Wukong. “Kill.” Having said this, Sun Wukong acted again. Taiyi Suffering Heavenly Venerate had been full of confidence initially, but that recent assault from Sun Wukong had shattered his belief. Now seeing Sun Wukong coming to kill him, he instinctively stepped back. In his view, if his Divine Skills couldn’t do anything to Sun Wukong, he certainly couldn’t withstand Sun Wukong’s attack. He instinctively shrank back, not daring to confront the attack head-on. “Don’t be afraid of him,” Gou Chen Great Emperor exclaimed softly. Taiyi Suffering Heavenly Venerate instantly regained his composure, realizing that he had made a colossal mistake. On a narrow path, the brave prevails; this is even more so the case among experts encountering each other, where it all comes down to momentum and strategy. Once one starts to retreat, it is very easy to end up at a disadvantage. Taiyi Suffering Heavenly Venerate no longer backed away, intending to counterattack. Just as he made his move, Sun Wukong struck him with his staff. At that moment, Taiyi Suffering Heavenly Venerate could only manage to cloak himself in Mana to block the blow. “Pfft.” Taiyi Suffering Heavenly Venerate spurted out a mouthful of blood, having been driven back by a blow from Sun Wukong. At this moment, his eyes were full of dread when he looked at Sun Wukong. In his heart, Taiyi knew well that he had lost this battle, and it was an ugly defeat. If the fight continued, he might indeed be killed by Sun Wukong. Thinking this, he hurriedly said, “I concede.” Sun Wukong’s staff was already sweeping towards him. Upon hearing the words of Taiyi Suffering Heavenly Venerate, he stopped, his face showing a look of pity. “We agreed this was just a spar. If you hadn’t conceded, Old Sun would definitely have killed you. But since you’ve conceded, Old Sun will spare you this time, Taiyi Suffering Heavenly Venerate. Old Sun advises you, following certain people leads nowhere. Ziwei Heavenly Court welcomes you to join. If you’re unwilling, just think about the fate of Puhua Heavenly Venerate.” With that, Sun Wukong whispered secretly: “You and Puhua Heavenly Venerate are different; he had no choice, being an incarnation of the Longevity Great Emperor. But you are different; you have a choice.” Taiyi Suffering Heavenly Venerate glanced at Sun Wukong but said nothing. Sun Wukong didn’t mind, for he had said all that needed to be said. Whether it served any purpose, he didn’t care that much. If the other party didn’t recognize what was good for them, they would eventually be dealt with by them. Ziwei Heavenly Court sought to rule over the Three Realms; naturally, they couldn’t leave any rivals behind. Otherwise, it would be difficult to maintain a peaceful Three Realms. “Let’s leave this matter here. Ao Zhan, take the Dragon Clan army and return; the rewards I promised will soon be sent over.” Great Emperor Ziwei said with a smile, very pleased with Ao Zhan and the Dragon Clan this time, With Ao Zhan leading the Dragon Clan, they would not pose a threat to him but would be an asset instead. Ao Zhan smiled slightly, saying, “Thank you, Great Heavenly Venerate.” Meanwhile, Taotie muttered, “What reward, just some trifle things from the pockets of the Four Heavenly Kings, not even as rich as the treasures of a Celestial Immortal from my Dragon Clan.” Great Emperor Ziwei’s face darkened, feeling disparaged. Ao Zhan glared at Taotie, scolding, “Shut your mouth.” Taotie chuckled but didn’t mind. “We should also leave,” Great Emperor Ziwei said with a mild smile. Despite being accused of being dishonorable, he felt thrilled. Having eliminated Puhua Heavenly Venerate, they could immediately start their move to purge the Heavenly Realm of those Immortal Gods. As for whether it would cause a shortage of officers in the Heavenly Court, the Great Emperor Ziwei was not worried at all. In the Three Realms, powerful beings abounded, and they had recruited many strong figures under their command. Some hidden Heavenly Venerates had even emerged, and now in the Ziwei Heavenly Court, they were yet to gain any significant reputation. Removing those Immortal Officials who were not his own and replacing them with these people was the proper way. Better to have a shortage than excess. In this regard, the Great Emperor Ziwei and Sun Wukong were remarkably aligned. “One cannot trust the integrity of the Great Emperor Ziwei anymore.” The Longevity Great Emperor sighed. The mistake this time was that they had trusted the integrity of the Great Emperor Ziwei. In the end, it was proven that the integrity of the Great Emperor Ziwei was unreliable. Gou Chen Great Emperor and Lady Houtu also sighed. It was not just the Longevity Great Emperor who was mistaken, they too shared the blame. Had they not trusted the Great Emperor Ziwei’s integrity too much, they would not be in this situation today. Now, even if they wanted to regret, it was already too late. Puhua Heavenly Venerate was killed, and in their struggle against the Great Emperor Ziwei, they also found themselves at a disadvantage. Looking at this situation, it seemed that it was only a matter of time before the Ziwei Heavenly Court would take over the Three Realms. The Longevity Great Emperor’s gaze fell on Lady Houtu, and he couldn’t help but ask, “Lady Houtu, may I ask you something?” “Please speak, Great Emperor.” Lady Houtu said indifferently. “What is the Jade Emperor thinking right now? Is he really letting the Great Emperor Ziwei expand his power? If this continues, even if the Jade Emperor possesses unmatched power, it will be difficult for him to take back control of the Three Realms, right?” The Longevity Great Emperor said with a worried look. At the same time, he watched Lady Houtu’s expression, wanting to see her reaction. As an Empress, even the position of Jade Emperor had been taken away by someone else, she should be more anxious than anyone. Lady Houtu remained silent, not speaking for a long while. Gou Chen Great Emperor furrowed his brow, also realizing something was amiss. “Could it be that something has happened to the Jade Emperor?” Gou Chen Great Emperor asked with a frown. Looking at Lady Houtu’s complexion, it was the only guess he could make. Otherwise, what other possibility could there be? If something had happened to the Jade Emperor, that would be a big issue. They had been counting on the Jade Emperor to intervene and intimidate the Great Emperor Ziwei, perhaps even to take back the Heavenly Court. Of course, if the Jade Emperor and the Great Emperor Ziwei both suffered, that would be the best outcome. Lady Houtu said with a bitter smile, “I don’t know either. The Jade Emperor has disappeared, and even I cannot find him.” At this revelation, Gou Chen Great Emperor and Longevity Great Emperor couldn’t help but gasp. They found it somewhat unbelievable. The Jade Emperor had disappeared? Both stared at Lady Houtu, realizing she was not lying. Gou Chen Great Emperor and Longevity Great Emperor looked at each other, not knowing what to say. Especially Gou Chen Great Emperor, although he also had his own schemes, he was nominally serving the Jade Emperor. Now that even the Jade Emperor had disappeared, and Houtu couldn’t find him, he felt like a joke. “What exactly happened?” Gou Chen Great Emperor demanded. He stared at Lady Houtu, his expression somewhat unfriendly. At this moment, Gou Chen Great Emperor’s first thought was that the Jade Emperor had another plan, likely even including him and Longevity Great Emperor in his scheme. Otherwise, why would he suddenly disappear, with even Lady Houtu unaware? Lady Houtu shook her head, saying, “I also don’t know, but I can assure you, the Jade Emperor is not in trouble. He is just arranging something in secret. You don’t have to worry; he will definitely take action at the crucial moment.” Gou Chen Great Emperor rolled his eyes. The question was, when would the crucial moment be?
