777: Chapter 268 Almost Came to Blows 777: Chapter 268 Almost Came to Blows “I was really just talking nonsense.”
Sun Wukong said earnestly, with not even a hint of joking on his face.
Seeing how serious he was, Zhenyuan was slightly taken aback.
Then he couldn’t help but laugh, seemingly in deep thought.
“Perhaps casual remarks contain the truth of cultivation.
What you call nonsense could be insights emerging from your advanced state, your true thoughts.
If you hadn’t reached this understanding, even if you wanted to talk nonsense, you couldn’t,”
Sun Wukong rolled his eyes involuntarily.
He felt his elder brother was really overestimating him.
Talk about emerging insights, it was all bunk.
The Golden God’s eyes lit up, saying in surprise, “I never expected the Great Sage Equalling Heaven to have such talent.”
Glancing at the Golden God, Zhenyuan spoke solemnly, “Golden God, do not underestimate my brother.
Tathagata Buddha became Supreme, thanks in no small part to my brother’s guidance, and my own strength has improved quite a bit from his advice.
I am just a step away from the Supreme Realm.”
Clearly, Zhenyuan knew who the Golden God was.
His power might not have reached the ranks of the Supreme, but he was one of the oldest beings since the dawn of heaven,
and recognized the Golden God, one of the ten fiercest beings from the Primordial era.
Though wary of the Golden God, not certain if she was friend or foe, he still spoke up for Sun Wukong, unwilling to let him be looked down upon.
The Golden God’s eyes lit up again; she was genuinely surprised.
Sun Wukong, who had just reached the Great Heavenly Venerate realm, had actually pointed the way for someone to break into the ranks of the Supreme.
Her gaze towards Sun Wukong was full of wonder.
“Great Saint, when can you give me some advice?
I wish to become an entity at the level of The Three Pure Ones,”
the Golden God said with a smile.
Sun Wukong knew she was joking, and he rolled his eyes, somewhat speechlessly asking, “Are The Three Pure Ones that strong?”
At these words, the Golden God was slightly stunned.
Are The Three Pure Ones strong?
Though casually spoken, her mind suddenly cleared.
The Three Pure Ones were undeniably strong, but did they view them as mere ants?
That was surely not the case.
Not to mention Supreme beings, The Three Pure Ones would not be able to instantly kill a Sub-Paramount.
If the Sub-Paramount fought back, they could indeed inflict harm on The Three Pure Ones.
In that sense, The Three Pure Ones had not completely surpassed them.
Sun Wukong’s casual question, ‘Are The Three Pure Ones that strong?’ hit the nail on the head.
The Golden God stood solemnly and bowed to Sun Wukong, saying, “Fellow Daoist, your words have opened my eyes.
Thank you for the guidance.”
Guidance?
Sun Wukong scratched his head; what had he advised?
The way these Supremes spoke was becoming more ridiculous by the day.
The Golden God sat down satisfied, a smile on her face, seemingly pondering something.
But, it was apparent that she was overjoyed, as if from Sun Wukong’s words she saw the light of The Great Dao, about to ascend to the level of The Three Pure Ones.
Of course, Sun Wukong thought she must be crazy to believe his words.
Were The Three Pure Ones not fearsome?
Although it was true they couldn’t easily eradicate a Sub-Paramount, they wouldn’t need too many moves either; three strikes at most to wipe out a Sub-Paramount was still plausible.
A regular Supreme, capable of withstanding a hundred moves from The Three Pure Ones without perishing, could be considered very strong.
Only beings like Emperor Jun, Eastern Emperor Tai Yi, and Haotian God, or an unfathomable Primordial ruler like Ancestral Dragon, truly had the power to challenge The Three Pure Ones.
Such individuals had the strength to face The Three Pure Ones squarely.
Yang Jian gave Sun Wukong a thumbs up, full of admiration.
He thought Sun Wukong was amazing; although only a Great Heavenly Venerate, even a Supreme could gain insight from his words.
Thinking that, Yang Jian hesitated to speak.
“Elder brother, what did you want to say?”
Sun Wukong gave Yang Jian a quick glance.
“How about you give me some advice too?”
Yang Jian showed a smile, his expression no longer stern.
Sun Wukong rolled his eyes and dismissively uttered one word, “Scram.”
“Haha.”
Yang Jian burst into laughter.
Sun Wukong couldn’t be bothered with him; others might not know his limitations, but Yang Jian certainly should.
Advise Supreme beings?
Pure balderdash.
Forget Supremes, he couldn’t advise even a Great Heavenly Venerate.
God knows what Tathagata Buddha and Zhenyuan were thinking; their brains must be faulty.
And as for the Golden God, the typical case of more brawn than brain, so her thinking was not all that sharp.
Of course, such thoughts were only to be entertained within his mind.
Soon, more visitors arrived.
Word was passed that the Lord of Heaven Ancestor had come.
Tathagata Buddha immediately went out to greet him; this was a Divine Ancestor among Ancient Gods, other than the Golden God, the second Supreme being to arrive from the Ancient Gods.
Tathagata Buddha hadn’t expected such respect from the Ancient Gods, for a Supreme to actually make an appearance.
After inviting the Lord of Heaven Ancestor in, Tathagata Buddha asked him to take a seat.
The Lord of Heaven Ancestor’s gaze fell on the Golden God and he looked somewhat surprised.
“I didn’t expect the usually understated Golden God to come to congratulate Tathagata Buddha on his breakthrough.
It seems Tathagata Buddha has considerable clout,”
he said.
The Golden God glanced at him, remaining silent.
“Golden God, could it be you’re here because of the Fire God’s death?
I know you and the Fire God Yinghuo were once close friends.
Your presence might indicate a desire for revenge,”
the Lord of Heaven Ancestor continued.
At his words, both Sun Wukong and Yang Jian were startled.
Nu Ba, who had been chatting quietly with the Golden God, froze completely.
This Golden God and Yinghuo had actually been friends.
Why was she deliberately getting close to them?
Their gaze towards the Golden God became filled with caution.
Unfazed, the Golden God stared back at the Lord of Heaven Ancestor and said calmly, “Seeking trouble even after dying once, you haven’t changed your nature of loving chaos.
Are you asking for a second death?”
