374: Chapter 204 Demon Realm 374: Chapter 204 Demon Realm He stopped a certain unrealistic thought in his heart; he was a decent person, no, more accurately, a decent monkey.
Indecent matters, naturally, would not even cross his mind.
The next day, the sound of gongs and drums filled the air, and firecrackers popped; in front of the Great Sage’s Mansion, there was a crowd as vast as a sea of Immortals, it was correct to say it was teeming with people.
Everyone was waiting here, anticipating the Great Sage Equalling Heaven’s move into his new residence.
Each of them looked on eagerly, filled with anticipation.
Some Immortals also sighed with emotion; this was once the Ling Xiao Palace, where the Jade Emperor governed the Three Realms.
Now it had become a monkey’s den.
Cough cough, of course, they only dared to think this in their minds.
Too many had pledged allegiance to the Ziwei Heavenly Court, and it was impossible for each one of them to harbor good feelings towards Sun Wukong.
Some were only performing superficial courtesies, smiling on the surface as they came to congratulate the Great Sage Equal to Heaven on his relocation, though in their hearts they might have cursed Wukong to no end.
This also brought with it some discontent towards the Great Emperor Ziwei.
Even with the establishment of the New Divine Dynasty, there was no need to turn the Ling Xiao Palace into a monkey’s den.
It was indeed too great an insult to the previous Supreme of the Three Realms.
Of course, these thoughts still only dared to linger in their minds.
Sun Wukong arrived, dressed in Chained Golden Armor, a Phoenix-Winged Purple-Gold Crown upon his head, and Lotus Fiber Cloud-Stepping Shoes on his feet, looking as imposing as any Heavenly Deity.
At the same time, Lady Dragon of Wealth and Nu Ba flanked him, one to his left and one to his right.
One was a princess of the Human Race, an ancient goddess in Blue Clothes, who had now stepped into the realm of Heavenly Venerate, with formidable strength.
The other, though only a Celestial Immortal, was a disciple of Bodhisattva Guanyin.
The name of Wealth Dragon Maiden was known throughout the world, and speaking of strength, aside from those well-known Great Immortals, there were scant few in the Three Realms who could suppress her.
What’s more, the Wealth Dragon Maiden was also the daughter of the East Sea Dragon King.
These two individuals accompanying Sun Wukong immediately drew envious looks from many Immortals.
Everyone knew that Dragon Girl and Nu Ba were smitten with the Great Sage Equalling Heaven, and now it seemed indeed to be true.
The Eight Immortals followed behind Sun Wukong, greeting the arriving Immortals.
Although they held no official posts and were no longer among the Heavenly Realm, their reputation was even greater than before; nowadays, very few dared to provoke the Eight Immortals.
Knowing that the Eight Immortals were under the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, who would want trouble for themselves?
Provoking the Eight Immortals was practically courting disaster.
Ao Zhan stood at the very front; he originally wanted to be the first to step forward and offer congratulations.
Just at that moment, a figure appeared.
Great Emperor Gou Chen arrived, his face devoid of any smile.
Ao Zhan, about to step forward, drew his foot back.
Since Great Emperor Gou Chen had come, there was no need for him to upstage anyone.
“Greetings to Great Emperor Gou Chen.”
The Immortals bowed.
Great Emperor Gou Chen nodded slightly, then his gaze fell upon the Great Sage’s Mansion.
This place was once Ling Xiao Palace, the countless times he dreamt of occupying it.
But as of today, it had all come to nothing.
The Jade Emperor was not dead, but his Divine Dynasty had come to an end.
The real master of today’s Heavenly Palace was the Great Emperor Ziwei.
And the Ling Xiao Palace had become the Great Sage’s Mansion, Sun Wukong’s residence.
Perhaps even the Jade Emperor himself had not anticipated this; the world is truly full of mysteries and wonders.
Sun Wukong approached Great Emperor Gou Chen and asked with a light chuckle, “Does the Great Emperor have any thoughts?”
Great Emperor Gou Chen said flatly, “The world is unpredictable, and no one can see through it.
I think the Jade Emperor must be almost furious.”
“Hehe, I think so too.
He schemed against me, and this is just a little retaliation, taking over his realm to give to Ziwei, occupying his house, sleeping in his...”
Great Emperor Gou Chen’s eyes widened, his face a picture of oddity.
Could it be...
Wukong glanced at him, realizing he had misunderstood.
He was not in a hurry, and continued leisurely, “In the places he once slept in, I infuriate him.”
Great Emperor Gou Chen was momentarily taken aback, then couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
“Not bad, to infuriate and frustrate the Jade Emperor, after all that scheming, he ended up with nothing of his Three Realms.
He really should be angry.”
Sun Wukong simply smiled faintly, without a word.
Then, Great Emperor Gou Chen said, “However, you should be cautious.
The Jade Emperor is cunning and stratagem deep; he has not yet made his appearance, which means he must have something more important than the Three Realms at stake.
Once he succeeds, all that you have now could vanish in the blink of an eye.”
Great Emperor Gou Chen wasn’t exaggerating; he knew the Jade Emperor all too well.
But Wukong laughed, shook his head, and said, “Great Emperor Gou Chen, you might have overlooked one thing.”
“What?”
Great Emperor Gou Chen looked puzzled.
Sun Wukong pointed to the heavens and said, “The greatest entities in the Three Realms are not the Jade Emperor, but The Three Pure Ones.”
Great Emperor Gou Chen fell silent for a while, then nodded, sighing, “After all, I think too small.”
Ziwei came to power and became the Supreme of the Three Realms, undoubtedly with the tacit approval of The Three Pure Ones.
If so, The Three Pure Ones would certainly prefer to maintain the current order.
The Jade Emperor could overturn the Ziwei Heavenly Court, he might even have the power to kill Sun Wukong.
But The Three Pure Ones are mountains he could never surpass.
No matter how he schemes, as long as The Three Pure Ones intervene at the crucial moment, the Jade Emperor’s calculations will be thwarted.
Realizing this, Great Emperor Gou Chen couldn’t help but laugh.
“I always thought the Jade Emperor was a wise man; now it seems I was wishfully thinking, he is just so-so, after all.”
Having said that, Great Emperor Gou Chen turned and left.
He did not return to Gou Chen Heaven Palace but went to see his mother instead.
With the dream of being the Great Heavenly Venerate shattered, he had become much calmer and had started to think of his mother.
