482: Chapter 223 The World Has Changed_8 482: Chapter 223 The World Has Changed_8 Iron-Crutch Li spoke.
Sun Wukong shook his head; he closed his eyes, earnestly sensing the world around him.
At that mont, Sun Wukong sensed sothing unusual about the world.
If the world before was difficult for improving one’s Daoist cultivation, now it seed that it was very easy to grasp The Great Dao, to use for contemplation and enhancing one’s strength.
Compared to before, The Great Dao was now at least ten tis clearer.
Sun Wukong sowhat understood, no wonder everyone found it so easy to make breakthroughs now.
In such an environnt, it was much easier for those practicing cultivation to overco their barriers.
“Sense this world.”
Sun Wukong said.
Upon hearing his words, everyone began to earnestly sense their surroundings.
Soon, Lu Dongbin opened his eyes, and said in astonishnt, “The world now is more conducive to cultivation.”
Sun Wukong nodded and said, “Indeed, it is so; the only question is whether this is a natural change in the world, or if soone has done this intentionally.”
“What if it’s a natural change in the world?”
Nu Ba curiously asked.
“That wouldn’t an much, but if soone is deliberately behind this, it ans that an invisible hand is manipulating everything in the world, wanting to bring about a golden age.
However, after the golden age cos the chaotic age.
The person who does this couldn’t possibly be doing it just for fun.
They must have a more terrifying purpose.
I, Old Sun, am worried that sothing even more dreadful might happen.”
Sun Wukong said solemnly.
Everyone felt a tremor in their hearts.
What could be more terrible than a chaotic age?
Perhaps it was the end of the world.
With this thought, everyone shuddered.
They harbored a dreadful thought.
The only ones they knew who could affect the great world to this extent, and do so without others noticing, were The Three Pure Ones.
Although the Jade Emperor was the Supre of the Three Realms, they dared not say if he had such ans at his disposal.
But they could be certain that the Great Emperor Ziwei did not possess such ans.
To drive changes in the world, to make cultivation easier…
How much mana would that require?
Even Sun Wukong dared not imagine it.
“Could it really be the Daoist Ancestor…”
Lu Dongbin’s voice trembled as he spoke.
He was still speaking when Sun Wukong glared at him, and Sun Wukong barked sharply, “Watch your words!”
Lu Dongbin quickly shut his mouth.
He knew that his thoughts just now were very disrespectful.
It would have been even less appropriate to say them out loud.
Therefore, Lu Dongbin dared not speak any further.
Sun Wukong gave Lu Dongbin a glance, and said indifferently, “Don’t overthink it.
If it really is their doing, it can only be beneficial to the people.
If not, then there’s even less to worry about.
If I can detect it, they have most likely noticed it too.
There’s no need for us to worry; they will resolve it.”
Seeing Sun Wukong speak thus, Lu Dongbin and the others also stopped overthinking.
Sun Wukong’s gaze swept over Iron-Crutch Li and the others, and he smiled as he said, “You all can rest easy, and you can also take this opportunity to diligently practice your cultivation, to enhance your strengths.
At the very least, you should aim to beco a Heavenly Venerate.
Only by becoming a Heavenly Venerate will you have a bit of capital to protect yourselves in the current world.”
“We understand.”
Everyone replied.
Sun Wukong revealed a smile, but deep within his eyes, a shadow flickered.
Within the Water Curtain Cave, Nu Ba handed over so peeled fruit.
She sat next to Sun Wukong, her dewy eyes fixed on him, and said smilingly, “Great Saint, you seed a bit insincere just now.”
Others might not have noticed, but Nu Ba often stayed by Sun Wukong’s side.
She watched his every move closely, naturally understanding him very well.
Sun Wukong’s last remarks were just to comfort the others.
Nu Ba could tell that Sun Wukong was not entirely sure.
Sun Wukong scratched his head, and chuckled, “You saw through .”
“Dragon Girl also noticed, but she didn’t want to disturb the Great Saint.
I can’t keep words to myself, so I ca to ask, is the situation really that serious?”
Nu Ba inquired.
She had seen sothing in Sun Wukong’s expression.
Sun Wukong pondered for a mont, his brows furrowed, and said, “In truth, I cannot be certain whether it’s serious or not.
But one thing is for sure, the change in the world is ninety percent the doing of The Three Pure Ones.
However, what their purpose is, I cannot see, nor can I guess.
That’s what’s most frightening.”
“Aren’t The Three Pure Ones on the side of future generations of living beings?”
Nu Ba was sowhat surprised.
She’d learned from Sun Wukong that The Three Pure Ones should be on the side of the future generations of living beings.
If that was the case, what was there to worry about?
Sun Wukong sneered and said, “The Three Pure Ones are high above; if they say sothing is so, then how would they be the winners since the Creation of Heaven and Earth if we could take their word for it?
Trusting in them even thirty percent is already not bad.”
Nu Ba blinked; she was not naively over-trusting but had been through the baptism of war and naturally had so understanding of human nature.
Nu Ba clearly understood that Sun Wukong’s words were quite sensible, and she fully agreed.
Furthermore, Nu Ba had once harbored the thought to remind Sun Wukong not to place too much trust in The Three Pure Ones.
He had a deep friendship with the Great Emperor Ziwei, who could be trusted.
Moreover, the character of the Great Emperor Ziwei was indeed beyond reproach.
But The Three Pure Ones were too mysterious.
What they were thinking, no one knew.
Seeing Sun Wukong was clear-headed and not completely blinded by faith in The Three Pure Ones, Nu Ba was relieved.
She said with a smile, “Since the Great Saint is aware, that’s the best we can hope for.
I won’t worry then.”
Glancing at Nu Ba, Sun Wukong understood her aning.
“Ultimately, it’s because I’m not strong enough to control everything.
Otherwise, what would I have to worry about?”
Sun Wukong attributed all these worries to himself, believing it was because he was not strong enough.
