Attempting a forceful assassination of the Jade Emperor would surely result in heavy losses.
Moreover, if one were to suggest that the Jade Emperor had appeared and was unaffiliated with the Western Queen Mother and their Court of Ancient Gods, Wukong would definitely not believe it.
As the guards announced his arrival, Wukong sauntered in leisurely.
Seeing both Great Emperor Ziwei and Yang Jian, he was not surprised.
At this time, it would be truly strange if the two were not together formulating strategies.
“Haha, I knew you, this monkey, couldn’t resist.
Tell me, do you have any good ideas for dealing with the Jade Emperor?”
Great Emperor Ziwei asked with a laugh.
Wukong glanced at him and said, “I don’t believe you can’t come up with your own ideas.
To deal with the Jade Emperor, suppression should be the main approach.
It’s best to avoid direct conflict and not even to give him the chance for one.”
Great Emperor Ziwei’s eyes sparkled as he said with a laugh, “How to suppress the Jade Emperor without direct conflict?”
Wukong rolled his eyes, answering unhappily, “You are the Heavenly Venerate of the Three Realms, leveraging the moral high ground.
Why are you asking me this?”
At his words, Great Emperor Ziwei couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
Even Yang Jian displayed a hint of a smile.
This monkey was becoming more forthright.
Soon, Great Emperor Ziwei restrained his smile and said with a wry smile, “With the Jade Emperor doing this, the Three Realms are going to be in chaos again.
It’s the common people who will suffer the most.”
After glancing at Ziwei, Wukong said, “I actually think it’s a good thing that the Jade Emperor has appeared.
If he were hiding in the shadows, orchestrating schemes every day without our knowing, that would be truly terrifying.
Now that he has shown himself, we can detect whatever he’s doing and not have to worry too much.
So, I think I should congratulate you.”
Great Emperor Ziwei was slightly taken aback, realizing that Wukong had a point.
When the Jade Emperor was hidden in the shadows, each of them felt uneasy.
Because no one knew what the Jade Emperor might do next.
Now that the Jade Emperor had come into the light, it was something to be happy about.
All his actions were under the watchful eyes of the Heavenly Court, even though he had occupied Ling Xiao Palace and reestablished the Heavenly Court with some powerful beings gathered around him.
But this was still better than performing sneaky maneuvers in the darkness.
“Haha, you’re right.
Indeed, congratulations are in order.
What bothers me now is how to suppress the Jade Emperor, who was once the Great Heavenly Venerate.”
Great Emperor Ziwei said, feeling somewhat troubled.
No matter how one put it, the title of the former Great Heavenly Venerate held by the Jade Emperor was significant, and having ruled the Heavens for many years, his influence on the Three Realms was enormous.
“That’s something you need to ask your strategists about.
How would Old Sun know?”
Wukong said indifferently.
“Who can devise strategies for me?”
Great Emperor Ziwei said, still troubled.
In the Heavenly Realm of the Immortal Clan, there were those skilled in planning, but none excelled in this kind of struggle.
Even Gold Star Taibai, while skilled in administration and handling affairs, was not adept in craftiness and intrigue.
“I could recommend someone, but I’m not sure if you’d dare to employ him,” Wukong suddenly said with a smile.
The person suitable for this task needed to be a master of plotting, shameless, and ruthless.
He had someone in mind.
Apart from this person, almost no one else could be up to the task.
Only this individual could match wits with the crafty old Jade Emperor.
“Who?
I’ll issue a decree for him to come immediately,” said Great Emperor Ziwei, his eyes lighting up.
If such a person really existed, he would naturally dare to use him.
Being the Heavenly Venerate of the Three Realms, if he couldn’t control even one strategist, it would be better for him to abdicate sooner rather than later.
Yang Jian wore a strange expression, realizing whom Wukong was referring to.
“You’re not recommending him, are you?
If we talk about scheming and ruthlessness, he indeed would be a suitable choice, but what if he has his own ulterior motives?”
Wukong chuckled, then said, “That’s why I said you might not dare to use him.
You might end up being outmaneuvered.”
“Who?
Who are you talking about?” Great Emperor Ziwei grew curious.
Now that he was the Heavenly Venerate of the Three Realms, aside from the Jade Emperor, who could pose a threat to him?
Moreover, with his current strength, there were only a few in the Three Realms who could defeat him.
As time passed, he might even reach the same level as the Jade Emperor.
That being the case, there would be even fewer who could defeat him.
Thus, his curiosity about the person Wukong mentioned was even greater.
“Let Yang Jian tell you; he’s already guessed it,” Wukong glanced at Yang Jian.
Great Emperor Ziwei turned his gaze to Yang Jian, indicating that he could speak now.
“Tathagata Buddha,” Yang Jian uttered four words.
Great Emperor Ziwei’s eyes brightened.
If it came to dirty tactics, being insidious and good at plotting, Tathagata Buddha was indeed a standout in the Three Realms.
If he could devise strategies for him, dealing with the Jade Emperor would not be difficult.
After all, they held the moral high ground, making it much easier to take action.
“Good, summon Tathagata Buddha to come and devise strategies for me,” said Ziwei Great Emperor.
Wukong was somewhat surprised.
He had not expected Great Emperor Ziwei to actually dare to use Tathagata Buddha.
However, he still advised, “You need to consider this carefully.
If you give Tathagata the chance to rise, his threat to you might not be less than that of the Jade Emperor, perhaps even greater.”
Great Emperor Ziwei shook his head, smiling as he said, “No need to consider further.
Let’s use Tathagata.
If I can’t suppress even a mere Tathagata, how can I serve as the Heavenly Venerate of the Three Realms?
Moreover, the Buddhist Realm does not belong to the Daoist Sect.
The Three Pure Ones would not allow Tathagata to ascend unless his power surpasses The Three Pure Ones.
Otherwise, he can only contentedly remain as Buddha.”
If before, Great Emperor Ziwei still had some concerns,
