Chapter 2009: The Shift in Heavenly Emperor Haotian's Mindset

Heavenly Emperor Haotian nodded upon hearing this, a flicker of thought crossing his brow.

Ever since the last time he was threatened by Wu Feng's words and eventually apologized, he had already sensed that within the Three Realms and the Five Directions of Heaven and Earth, many capable people and strangers were quietly being born. Sun Wukong and Fahai were only at the Taiyi True Immortal Realm a few hundred years ago, but now they had both reached the peak of the Daluo Jinxian Realm.

Their speed of cultivation could simply be described as advancing by leaps and bounds. The reasons for this, besides Sun Wukong and Fahai themselves being one-in-a-million cultivation geniuses, were also known to Heavenly Emperor Haotian: both Sun Wukong and Fahai had friendships with Wu Feng.

In the past, Haotian was actually an extremely selfish person at heart. He only cared about whether he could sit firmly on the throne of the Heavenly Emperor, and he hoped to suppress any existence that threatened him in the shadows.

But now it seemed that things were not something he could control at all. Not to mention that Wu Feng's current cultivation had already surpassed his own, even the cultivation speed of Sun Wukong and Fahai might lead them to surpass him in the near future.

Ever since Heavenly Emperor Haotian was severely slapped in the face by Wu Feng in front of all the immortals and lost all his dignity, he began to examine the survival of the entire Myriad Heavens and Worlds.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Wu Feng was not wrong at all: "If the forces of the Wuxiang Realm invade, then the immortals will be difficult to resist. Not to mention whether Wu Feng has any intention of seizing his throne, he had seen the strength of the Red Lotus Demoness and asked himself that if he were to fight her, the chances of winning would likely not be great."

Although the Red Lotus Demoness's cultivation was also at the peak of the Daluo Jinxian Realm, in terms of realm, compared to Heavenly Emperor Haotian's cultivation of over half a Quasi-Saint, she was a large step behind. However, she bore the Red Lotus Karmic Fire, a type of hellfire; anyone who touched it would be tainted with the aura of death, causing their strength to be greatly diminished.

The Red Lotus Demoness had even declared that she would gather the nine great strange fires of the world.

Heavenly Emperor Haotian was not a fool. He had seriously thought about this question: why would the Red Lotus Demoness want to gather the nine great strange fires?

Presumably, there should only be one answer: to use these nine great strange fires to launch an attack on the Three Realms.

The Heavenly Court often had to rely on the strength of the Western Buddhas and even the Three Pure Ones of Daoism. As for the Heavenly Court itself, there were not many who could truly fight.

Heavenly Emperor Haotian himself had a cultivation of over half a Quasi-Saint, and there were not many other Daluo Jinxians. Only Erlang Shen was currently at the peak of the Daluo Jinxian, with signs of vaguely breaking through to the Quasi-Saint realm.

Haotian had to take this problem seriously. If the Wuxiang Realm really invaded, relying solely on himself and Erlang Shen would fundamentally not be enough to resist.

The likes of Nezha, Li Jing, and Taibai Jinxing would likely not be able to withstand three moves from the Red Lotus Demoness.

Therefore, after deep thought, the Heavenly Emperor felt that Wu Feng truly had no intention of taking his throne. On the contrary, when the time came, if the space-time rift opened wide and the forces of the other world surged in like a tide,

the ones he could turn to for help would likely still be Wu Feng, and even include Sun Wukong and Fahai. ===== CHAPTER 2011 =====
