Being the mount of the Elder Lord, it still maintained the proper respect for him.
This old Taoist was too ruthless, nearly smashing its brains out.
“You simply don’t understand.
To that monkey, this is a trial, but also an opportunity.
If he can get through it, his future achievements will not be lower than the three of us.”
“What if he can’t get through it?”
The Green Ox asked.
“Then it is indeed his calamity.”
Lord Taishang replied.
The Green Ox felt that the Elder Lord had said a meaningless sentence.
However, it was too lazy to argue.
It always felt like Sun Wukong was being schemed against, but had no evidence.
Even if it had evidence, it wouldn’t dare to speak up.
What if, after speaking up, the Elder Lord decided he wanted stewed beef?
Sun Wukong arrived at the Ziwei Heavenly Palace; at this time, the Great Emperor Ziwei was not holding court, and was naturally very happy to hear that Sun Wukong had come.
After becoming Supreme, he delegated many matters to those below him.
Now he, as Great Heavenly Venerate, truly had the prestige of the Supreme of the Three Realms.
With his subordinates handling everything well, he found he had more time for cultivation.
After the Three Realms were set in order, he, as Supreme, was not busy.
This is the true royal demeanor, not necessarily needing to personally attend to everything; sometimes delegating to others achieves even better results.
The Great Emperor Ziwei instructed people to prepare food and wine, and he laughed and said, “Wukong, you’re a rare guest, seldom do you come by.”
Glancing at the Great Emperor Ziwei, Sun Wukong sighed and said gloomily, “The Elder Lord gave me over a hundred Nine-Turn Great Restoration Pills.”
With a slight start, the Great Emperor Ziwei laughed and said, “That’s a good thing.”
But as soon as he finished speaking, he froze.
Afterward, the Great Emperor Ziwei couldn’t help but suck in a breath of cold air and stood up, saying, “What did you say?
The Elder Lord gave you over a hundred Nine-Turn Great Restoration Pills?”
Sun Wukong nodded.
“Something’s wrong.”
The Great Emperor Ziwei’s face looked somewhat unpleasant.
The Heavenly Court knew well of the Elder Lord’s stinginess.
His elixirs were not easily obtained.
If the Elder Lord willingly gave elixirs, it only meant one thing—the recipient would surely be in trouble.
These elixirs were meant for healing the recipient’s injuries.
Yet, Lord Taishang seldom gave out Nine-Turn Great Restoration Pills.
To give away over a hundred at once was shocking.
What was his intention?
Even the Great Emperor Ziwei was puzzled.
If these hundred pills aren’t enough, what brutal battles must Sun Wukong face in the future?
Both the Great Emperor Ziwei and Sun Wukong understood this reasoning.
No wonder Sun Wukong’s expression was so gloomy earlier, looking as if he had lost his father.
Anyone in his situation wouldn’t have a good-looking face, sharing Sun Wukong’s reaction.
The Great Emperor Ziwei took a deep breath, then said, “Explain the situation to me.”
He wanted to know the entire story to make a sufficient judgment.
Sun Wukong nodded slightly and gave an account of the events.
Upon hearing that Zhenyuan had become Supreme, the Great Emperor Ziwei brightened with joy.
He smiled and said, “That’s great news, with Zhenyuan becoming Supreme, we’ve gained another formidable ally.”
Sun Wukong nodded slightly and said, “Having gained a strong ally, but these hundred Nine-Turn Great Restoration Pills leave Old Sun feeling uneasy.”
“Maybe the Elder Lord was just teasing you.”
The Great Emperor Ziwei consoled.
Sun Wukong cast a glance at him and retorted, “Would you take out a hundred Ziwei Immortal Elixirs to joke with Sa Shoujian?”
The Great Emperor Ziwei shook his head and decisively said, “Of course not.”
A hundred Ziwei Immortal Elixirs were certainly not handed out easily.
Just as he finished speaking, he understood Sun Wukong’s point.
Just as he wouldn’t use a hundred Ziwei Immortal Elixirs to joke with Sa Shoujian.
The Elder Lord likewise wouldn’t joke with Sun Wukong using a hundred Nine-Turn Great Restoration Pills.
If he’s indeed given them, it implies Sun Wukong needs them.
Upon this thought, Sun Wukong’s expression turned dark.
The Great Emperor Ziwei dryly laughed, quickly saying, “Alright, let’s not consider those matters, should I send a congratulatory gift to Zhenyuan?
After all, he’s become Supreme, and failing to show any sign might not be appropriate.”
Sun Wukong shook his head and said, “My elder brother intends not to make a fuss, and I feel the same way—in the best case, we shouldn’t be ostentatious.
After becoming Supreme, he counts as one of our trump cards.
No one will think he too became Supreme.”
“But if that were truly the case, why did those black-robed men try to kill him?”
Sun Wukong was slightly startled.
This aspect he hadn’t truly considered.
Yet, from this, it could be seen that the black-robed men were quite aware of the situation in the Three Realms.
That is to say, they had their eyes and ears embedded within the Three Realms.
“However, if according to Lord Taishang, those people are not living beings of the Three Realms, It’s likely they won’t disclose this matter, so in that sense, we needn’t worry too much.”
The Great Emperor Ziwei smiled and said.
Is that the case?
“Forget it, let’s not overthink, when the soldiers come, react accordingly.
Old Sun believes that Old Sun will be the one laughing last.”
After Sun Wukong said this, he once again became high-spirited.
Though previously frightened by Lord Taishang, at this moment, Sun Wukong had evidently come around.
Whether or not the Elder Lord gives him elixirs, these battles are ones he must engage in and face.
