591: Chapter 239 Disintegrated Morale_2 591: Chapter 239 Disintegrated Morale_2 Since there was hope for revenge, Zhu Long naturally thought of adjusting his state first.
Otherwise, if he could not recognize Haotian God upon encountering him, it would be awkward.
Thinking that he had actually been at the beck and call of Haotian God, Zhu Long had a sudden urge to die.
Zhu Long left, and Sun Wukong watched him go.
Then, Sun Wukong shouted into the void, “Co out.”
Tathagata Buddha appeared, and he said with a smile, “Your spiritual sense has beco quite powerful, little monkey, to the point that you could detect my arrival.”
Sun Wukong curled his lips.
If it ca to concealing one’s presence, he was an expert.
Although Tathagata Buddha was stronger than him, this did not necessarily extend to concealnt.
Understanding how to hide also ant understanding how to detect.
With Sun Wukong’s Eyes of Golden Fla, Tathagata Buddha had barely arrived when he was discovered.
“I sensed Zhu Long’s presence and hurried over, only to find that you had actually persuaded him to join forces with us.
You really have changed,” Tathagata Buddha said, his expression complex.
In fact, he truly regretted it.
If he had not harbored evil thoughts back then and imprisoned Sun Wukong in the nineteenth layer of hell,
given Sun Wukong’s personality, even if he had so opposition to his actions,
he would still definitely have helped in expanding the Buddhist Realm.
Even if not becoming the Supre of the Three Realms, the Buddhist Realm by now would definitely be one of the foremost powers in the world, even unafraid of the Heavenly Court.
Regrettably, he had ultimately made a mistake back then.
Therefore, the consequences were his to bear alone.
“What’s so surprising about that?
The enemy of our enemy is our natural ally.
Besides, what I said was all true.
Zhu Long indeed had not committed evil.
If it wasn’t for his attack on Old Sun, Old Sun wouldn’t even want to raise a hand against him.
He’s just a pitiable person,” Sun Wukong said with a cold laugh.
He knew the taste of being imprisoned, where loneliness was the greatest demon, capable of causing any god to collapse.
Compared to the few thousand years Sun Wukong was locked up, Zhu Long had been confined from the Primordial age until now.
Honestly, Sun Wukong felt Zhu Long was incredibly kind for not slaughtering the world after his release.
Even if Zhu Long did anything outrageous, Sun Wukong would think it normal.
“The Great Saint is rciful,” Tathagata Buddha said with a smile.
Sun Wukong glanced at Tathagata Buddha and responded with a smile, “Is that what you call rcy?
rcy is too cheap if that’s the case.
Tathagata Buddha, sotis you should take a good look at your own actions.
The failure of the Buddhist Realm to thrive is not due to a lack of potential or strength but because of your feigned rcy.
Your rcy is too ager and shallow.
If you could truly be as rciful as you claim, no one could stop the rise of the Buddhist Sect.”
Tathagata Buddha appeared pensive.
Then, he couldn’t help but give a wry smile.
It seed he had been taught a lesson by Sun Wukong.
But why did it seem to him that what Sun Wukong said made so much sense?
Real rcy and fake rcy were quite different.
Sun Wukong didn’t think his release of Zhu Long was an act of rcy.
Strictly speaking, he wasn’t even a mber of the Buddhist Sect, yet he had such magnanimity.
Looking at the various Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats within the Buddhist Sect, who felt they had shown great rcy just by having a fleeting thought, made Tathagata Buddha feel ashad.
He vaguely began to understand why the Buddhist Realm couldn’t thrive.
It wasn’t because of rcy, but because of hypocrisy.
With this realization, he sighed.
Even if he was reluctant to admit it, he had to acknowledge that he had led by this example.
Those people were rely following the example of their master.
“Thank you for the enlightennt, Great Saint,” Tathagata Buddha said earnestly.
The transition from ‘monkey’ to ‘Great Saint’ indicated Tathagata Buddha’s change of attitude toward Sun Wukong;
he acknowledged Sun Wukong’s words and even felt that Sun Wukong’s realm might be higher than his own, which is why he spoke this way.
Otherwise, considering Tathagata Buddha’s pride and their current non-tense relationship, it would not have been surprising for him to casually call Sun Wukong ‘monkey.’
Sun Wukong would not care about these formalities, as he was never one to be overly concerned about them,
especially after becoming familiar, he was all the more free of pretense.
Sun Wukong gestured dismissively and said to Tathagata Buddha, “Pass a ssage to Ziwei, Zhu Long is now one of us.
Don’t touch him.
Old Sun is heading back to Huaguo Mountain.”
Without waiting for Tathagata to react, Sun Wukong turned and left.
Returning to Huaguo Mountain, he imdiately began to convalesce.
The battle in the Demon Realm had taken a huge toll on Sun Wukong.
However, what surprised him was that the Primordial Demonic Qi, despite being severely exploited, had not lost much of its Demonic Qi and even seed satiated.
At that mont, the Primordial Demonic Qi trembled, and a thought entered Sun Wukong’s mind.
Sun Wukong suddenly had an epiphany.
It wasn’t that the Primordial Demonic Qi hadn’t been depleted; rather, it had, but being so close to the Demon Realm, it had absorbed the Demonic Qi of the Demon Realm to replenish itself.
The bearer of the Primordial Demonic Qi would be immortal as long as the Demon Dao existed.
Of course, the Primordial Demonic Qi itself was also indestructible.
The Demon Realm was where the Demon Dao was most prosperous, so the Primordial Demonic Qi naturally did not have to worry about the exhaustion of mana and even gained a satisfying refill.
After realizing this, Sun Wukong easily put his mind at ease and then felt completely justified in exploiting the Primordial Demonic Qi.
The Primordial Demonic Qi imdiately regretted informing Sun Wukong so much, cursing its own host for being so wicked, and now set to exploit the mana it had finally accumulated.
