Chapter 498: Kunpeng: Demon Emperor, that Tang Monk meat is not bad

"Monkey Brother, don't fall for it."

"If the Essence of Beiming could really help one achieve the Daluo Fruit Status, people in these Three Realms would have gone mad fighting over it long ago."

Bajie saw that Houzi was tempted and hurriedly advised him.

"Beneath Beiming exist many ancient Demon Race members, each with formidable strength. If you go down, I fear you will encounter endless dangers," said Baigu Furen.

Shen Gongbao smiled indifferently and said:

"The Essence of Beiming is only useful to those with extraordinary origins; ordinary people have no chance of relying on the Essence of Beiming to achieve Daluo.

But Sun Wukong is different; the heavenly nature nurtured by the Patching Heaven Stone combined with the Essence of Beiming will complement each other perfectly.

As for the danger, hehe, what is a little danger in exchange for becoming a Daluo?"

"Xiaobailong, Heixiong, Old Sha, hurry and talk him out of it," said Bajie.

Sun Wukong looked at his few junior brothers, then turned his gaze to Shen Gongbao and said:

"You're telling me this news—are you really that kind-hearted?"

"Of course not. If the Great Saint successfully advances to a Great Luo Golden Immortal, you can break these Mysterious Iron Chains for this poor Daoist. With the cultivation of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, it would be but a snap of the fingers," said Shen Gongbao.

"Your abacus is clicking quite well. If I help you escape, Shen Gongbao, wouldn't that offend the Chan Sect?" said Zhu Bajie.

"So what if it's offended? The current Chan Sect has no Saints, so how could they do anything to the Great Saint?

Besides, this is the North Sea; who would know about our business?" said Shen Gongbao.

In the current Three Realms, there are no Saints, and the strongest are the likes of the Buddha, the Jade Emperor, and the Queen Mother.

Shen Gongbao was not afraid in the slightest; back during the Investiture of the Gods, didn't he rely on his silver tongue to befriend many immortal Daoist friends?

"Bajie, I want to try."

After thinking it over, Sun Wukong felt he could take the risk once.

If he became a Daluo, he would see who would still dare to manipulate him.

Furthermore, his master would inevitably have a fight with that fellow Rulai in the future, and he must stand on his master's side.

At the current rate of cultivation, even if the journey to the West were slow, they would reach the Thunder Sound Temple in the Western Heaven in at most twenty or thirty years.

But in these few decades, no matter how confident Sun Wukong was, it was impossible to advance to a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

But with the Essence of Beiming, it would be different.

"This poor Daoist also knows a safe route. If the Great Saint trusts this poor Daoist, you can give it a try," said Shen Gongbao.

"Bajie, I am going."

Sun Wukong showed a look of determination, cast the Avoid Water Technique, and headed toward the North Sea.

But he was held back by Zhu Bajie, who said:

"You damn monkey, I've been ruined by you this time. My strength isn't as good as yours, but my eye for things is better. As fellow disciples, we share blessings and hardships together; how could I let you go down alone? Besides, I want to try it too, to see if I can defy the heavens and change my fate."

"You fool," Sun Wukong paused, then laughed.

"Eldest Senior Brother, I'll go too. Underwater is our Dragon Clan's home turf," said Xiaobailong.

"I'll go too. Although I might not know much, we are fellow disciples," Heixiong echoed.

"I'll go too," said Shaseng, his expression very calm.

"If you are all going, I will go too," said Baigu Furen, her expression cold.

"Little White, I knew you cared for your senior brother," Bajie said, moved.

"Get lost!"

Baigu Furen slapped Bajie away.

Sun Wukong, Bajie, Baigu Furen, and Xiaobailong went down into the North Sea together.

Shen Gongbao watched all this calmly and smiled:

"It's been several thousand years; it is time for this poor Daoist to emerge."

"Worldly affairs are like a game of chess, the universe is unpredictable; I laugh at all immortals and Buddhas, hehehe..."

Deep in Beiming, the Demon Master Palace.

"Two Demon Emperors, look at what treasure I have found for you."

Kunpeng walked before Dijun and Donghuang Taiyi, and several crystal-clear water droplets appeared in his hand.

This droplet-shaped liquid was flawless and white; although only a tiny bit in size, the spiritual power it contained was incomparable.

"The Essence of Beiming," Donghuang Taiyi recognized this treasure.

"As expected of the Eastern Emperor," Kunpeng laughed.

"What is the use of this thing? At most, it restores a bit of magic power," said Dijun.

As the former master of the Demon Court, how noble was his status? Having seen every kind of treasure, he naturally looked down upon this Essence of Beiming.

One must know that at their peak, the Demon Race had three hundred and sixty-five Great Luo Golden Immortals just to condense the Zhou Tian Star Array; and that was only those in the formation. Such a lineup would make even the Jie Sect, which claimed to have ten thousand immortals coming to pay homage, look slightly inferior.

"However, it is good that you have this heart."

Dijun changed his tone, but still took the Essence of Beiming.

Although they had been resurrected and returned from the endless space-time by Nuwa, their strength was not at its peak.

Back then, they were the first under the Saints!

Now they only had the magic power of a Great Luo Golden Immortal Late Stage.

But even so, this strength was not the least bit inferior to the Buddha or the Jade Emperor in the Three Realms.

"Eastern Emperor, Demon Emperor, I wonder when we shall take back the Demon Court?" asked Kunpeng.

"Kunpeng, do you really want us to take back the Demon Court?" said Donghuang Taiyi.

This is no longer the ancient era; the era that belonged to them has already passed.

Furthermore, the current Three Realms are too fragile; if they were to strike at their level, they would likely shatter the plane directly.

Kunpeng gave a trembling laugh and did not dare to answer the Eastern Emperor.

He knew that his little bit of cleverness could not deceive Donghuang Taiyi.

He just wanted to test the resolve of the two Demon Emperors.

Actually, there is nothing wrong with lying low, watching the seas change into mulberry fields, immortal and indestructible; it is just that simple and unadorned.

"The Demon Court must certainly be taken back, but the time is not yet right; besides, with no Saints present now, as long as we recover to our peak, these Three Realms will be like things inside a bag," Dijun said.

"Ah... yes, yes, yes," Kunpeng clapped his hands in praise.

With his strength, he actually does not need to fear the Jade Emperor of the Heavenly Court now; with the Saints gone, who else could stop these ancient Great Ability beings like them?

"However, if we want to recover our strength quickly, there is actually a way."

"Currently, that Scripture Seeker Tang Sanzang on the journey west possesses Great Luck; if we could Devour it, it would be absolutely greatly beneficial," Kunpeng said.

"Is it that Jinchanzi who possesses the Qi Luck of nine lifetimes of reincarnation?" Donghuang Taiyi said.

"That is correct; as the Son of Luck for a kalpa, the Qi Luck on him must be immense," Kunpeng said.

"But after all, it concerns the grand plan for the rise of the West; if we touch Jinchanzi, the West will not let the matter rest."

"Moreover, the Saints of the West are not easy to deal with; although they are not in the Three Realms, they have perhaps left behind contingencies," Donghuang Taiyi said.

"Taiyi, those who achieve great things cannot be indecisive. What can the mere Western Buddhism do to us?" Dijun waved his hand, agreeing with Kunpeng's decision.

Donghuang Taiyi frowned; he felt that this matter was not that secure, and he had an indescribable feeling.

"Actually, as long as we do not expose our identities, who would know that we did it?" Kunpeng said.

At their level of cultivation, concealing the heavenly secrets and such is something they can do with a flick of their fingers.

Unless caught on the spot, even Time Reversal would yield no evidence.
