Journey to the West: Great Saint Equal to Heaven
Chapter 72 - 72 72 The Most Patient and Tolerant Person in the Three Realms

72: Chapter 72: The Most Patient and Tolerant Person in the Three Realms 72: Chapter 72: The Most Patient and Tolerant Person in the Three Realms “This demon is formidable; we’re no match for him, let’s get out of here,”

Immortal Master Erlang suddenly shouted.

Mainly because the more he fought, the more apprehensive he felt.

The man before him was, after all, his uncle, the ruler of the Three Realms.

Hearing his words, Sun Wukong and the others, in perfect sync, took off right away.

Immortal Master Erlang, feeling the Jade Emperor’s furious gaze, let out a forced laugh and disappeared in a streak of light.

Only after they had left did Wang Shan arrive.

Seeing the Jade Emperor with a bruised nose and swollen face, he was dumbfounded.

“Your, Your Majesty, your servant arrived too late to save you, please punish me,” he said.

The corner of the Jade Emperor’s mouth twitched as he returned to his original appearance.

He had intended to smile, but the action pulled at the wounds on his face, causing him to wince in pain.

“Cough, cough, it’s nothing.

You can go back.

They are just a few ignorant demons.

I did not want to reveal my identity, so I didn’t resist.

They couldn’t harm me,” he said.

Wang Shan, the Spiritual Official, let out a sigh of relief,

His gaze toward the Jade Emperor was full of admiration.

The Great Heavenly Venerate truly deserved to be the most patient and forbearing person in the Three Realms.

Having suffered such an indignity, he still remained so calm and composed.

If it were him, he’s sure he would not have been able to hold back and would have burst out in a thunderous rage.

Instead of leaving immediately, the Spiritual Official said, “Your Majesty, I have another matter to report.”

“Speak.”

The Jade Emperor had already regained his original, majestic demeanor.

Wang Shan spoke solemnly, “I just received news that the Buddhist Realm has occupied the Netherworld, and Mysterious Spirit Elder Huang Qi intends to reclaim the Netherworld but has encountered resistance from the Buddhist Realm’s experts.

Your Majesty, please advise us on how to proceed.”

After serious consideration, the Jade Emperor finally said, “For the time being, there is no need to bother with it.

The Buddhist Realm is nothing more than a bunch of chickens and dogs.

Once I return, they wouldn’t dare to make a fuss.”

“Yes.”

Although the Spiritual Official felt some indignation, he still believed in the Jade Emperor’s words.

Since the Jade Emperor had said to wait for his return, then waiting for his return was what he would do.

Thinking this, the Spiritual Official said, “In that case, your servant will take his leave.”

The Jade Emperor gestured dismissively.

His eyes were profound, the corners of his mouth holding a faint cold smirk.

Within Huaguo Mountain, Nezha and Immortal Master Erlang were so excited that they were trembling all over.

Unlike Sun Wukong and General Yinggou, they were subjects of the Heavenly Court, yet they had just given the Jade Emperor a beating.

Even the usually defiant Nezha felt quite unsettled at the moment.

Sun Wukong and General Yinggou were drinking together, Bai Yu poured the drinks and called everyone to join.

“Brother, you don’t have any maids or anything here.

How about I send you a few female demons for fun?”

General Yinggou glanced at Bai Yu and suddenly spoke up.

Sun Wukong waved his hand and said, “No need.

I’m not interested in female demons.”

General Yinggou was slightly taken aback, his expression a bit odd.

“Don’t tell me you’re interested in male demons?

In that case, you see, the Poison Dragon Demon King beneath me isn’t half bad.

I’ll let him follow you.”

Bai Yu’s hand shook.

Could it be the Great Saint truly had an interest in male demons?

The thought of being ridden by the Great Saint sent a shiver down his spine.

Immortal Master Erlang and Nezha also wore strange expressions as they stared at Sun Wukong.

As it seemed, throughout their acquaintance, they had never seen Sun Wukong show interest in any woman.

There were so many fairies and fairy maidens in the Heavenly Palace, yet Sun Wukong rarely paid them any attention.

If he truly was interested in male demons, perhaps it’d be best to keep a bit more distance from him.

“Get lost,”

Sun Wukong cursed.

“Haha.”

Everyone erupted in laughter.

The somewhat oppressive atmosphere from before vanished without a trace.

Sun Wukong glanced at Immortal Master Erlang and laughed, “Brother, you suppress yourself too much, otherwise, with brother’s strength, roaming the Three Realms without any fear, what does it matter if you’ve fought the Jade Emperor?

Not to mention that he is your uncle, even if he wasn’t, what could he possibly do to you?”

“Indeed, if we brothers join hands, who could do anything to us?”

Nezha laughed as he said.

He eyed Ying Hook and said, “Brother Ying Hook, shall we spar a bit?”

“You’re not my opponent.”

Ying Hook glanced at him and replied with a smile.

“That’s not necessarily true, at any rate, I’m also one of the top war gods in the Three Realms, it’s not certain that I can’t beat you.”

Immortal Master Erlang looked at Nezha and said, “Nezha, don’t be impulsive.

General Ying Hook is powerful, you’re no match for him.”

Nezha became even more determined not to concede.

He beckoned to Ying Hook and walked outside.

Ying Hook followed closely behind.

Soon after, intense fluctuations erupted above the East Sea.

Immortal Master Erlang just smiled bitterly and did nothing to intervene.

It was good for Nezha to suffer a little setback; otherwise, with his temperament, he would eventually suffer a great loss.

He turned to Sun Wukong and asked, “Have you discerned something?

Is that why you’re looking for allies?

Ying Hook is one, I and Nezha barely make the cut, but what exactly is happening?”

“Do you know about the ancient gods?”

Sun Wukong suddenly asked.

Immortal Master Erlang’s heart skipped a beat, and with a shocked face, he asked, “Are the ancient gods really not dead?”

He had vaguely heard legends that the ancient gods hadn’t died, that they were all still alive, only exiled.

That one day, the ancient gods would return.

Immortal Master Erlang didn’t use to care much, after all, it was only a legend.

“That’s correct, the ancient gods are not only alive, but they have also become even stronger, and they’re now trying to return to the Three Realms,” Sun Wukong affirmed.

Immortal Master Erlang inhaled sharply.

If the ancient gods were to return, what would they do?

They would surely seek revenge and try to reclaim control of the heavens and earth.

At that time, living beings would be plunged into misery.

Even they, the newer generation of immortal gods, would be dragged into the conflict.

“I’ve guessed your uncle’s plan, and I don’t want to stop him; he is the Great Heavenly Venerate, with profound resources, naturally, he has his considerations.

As for myself, I only intend to unite all the forces I can, just for self-preservation,” Sun Wukong continued.

“If the ancient gods return, I will join forces with you,” Immortal Master Erlang said.

“Good,” Sun Wukong replied with a smile.

Lu Dongbin revealed a smile, having gained two more allies.

Soon, Ying Hook and Nezha returned.

Thud.

Nezha was carried by one hand of Ying Hook and thrown onto the ground.

He got up with a roll, his face bruised and swollen, looking very unkempt but also extremely excited.

“Thrilling, truly thrilling, Ying Hook, I’m a few moves short of defeating you right now, not because I’m inferior to you, but just due to a gap in cultivation.

Once I reach the Heavenly Venerate state, we’ll spar again,” Nezha declared.

“I’ll wait for you,” Ying Hook said, with a hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth.

Nezha returned to his seat and guzzled down a jar of Monkey Wine, then burst into silly laughter.

Days like these with fights to be had without restrictions were truly enjoyable, far better than being in the Heavenly Court.

Meanwhile, Sun Wukong had shared some matters with Ying Hook and the rest.

Only then did Ying Hook understand Sun Wukong’s plans.

“Ancient gods, interesting.

I look forward to their return; I would indeed like to experience the might of the Ancient Heavenly Emperor,” Ying Hook declared, brimming with a fighting spirit.
