Journey to the West: Great Saint Equal to Heaven
Chapter 1147 - 356: An Unfair Debate (Part 3)
CHAPTER 1147: CHAPTER 356: AN UNFAIR DEBATE (PART 3)
They exchanged greetings and returned to their respective camps.
As if to vent their anger, for a period afterward, the troops under Emperor Jun and Donghuang Taiyi continuously provoked the garrison forces of the Heavenly Court.
The two sides engaged in over a dozen skirmishes, all small-scale battles, with losses on both sides.
However, this also heightened the tension between the Heavenly Court and them.
Nezha arrived to oversee the situation, as he had now ascended to the pinnacle of the Great Heavenly Venerate, his power immense.
Aside from the Supremes, Nezha was considered a super powerhouse within the Heavenly Court.
Moreover, he continued to improve, and his eventual entry into the Supreme Realm was almost guaranteed.
The environment of the Three Realms suddenly became more conducive to cultivation, making breakthroughs in the cultivation levels of living beings more than twice as easy as before.
Nezha, who was originally an unparalleled genius, seized the opportunity to rise.
Amitabha and Tathagata Buddha had been residing in the Heavenly Court and opened two dojos there.
At this time, they also arrived.
Should a great war break out, they would be the first to join in.
The tension between the two sides grew increasingly taut.
The small-scale battles decreased, but as soon as tempers flared, it was easy to spark a major conflict.
Several strong individuals constantly entered the campsite.
Furthermore, under the command of Emperor Jun and Donghuang Taiyi, many powerful figures traveled to the four Continents.
The Heavenly Court immediately became tense and dispatched experts to monitor them.
As soon as the Great Emperor Ziwei issued the order, they would immediately take action to intercept and kill this group.
"Gentlemen, do not worry, we are also members of the Three Realms. This act is not to provoke the Heavenly Court, but merely to discuss the way of the future with living beings and enhance our cultivation, purely for training purposes, not to invade other Continents."
Ji Meng spoke these words.
He looked at the strong individual blocking him; it was the Second Heavenly Emperor, the Judicial Deity Yang Jian of the Heavenly Court.
"The Heavenly Court always says that within the Three Realms, as long as one does not violate the Heavenly rules or offend the Heavenly Court, they are considered a member of the Three Realms, and the Heavenly Court will not make things difficult. Or is the Heavenly Court deliberately saying this and it is not true?"
A glint flashed in Yang Jian’s eyes as he said plainly, "What the Heavenly Court says is certainly not false."
"Then please allow the Judicial Deity to step aside. We are not causing trouble, only seeking to discuss the Dao and improve our cultivation."
Ji Meng said with a smile.
He looked Yang Jian straight in the eye, his smile bearing some sarcasm.
If Yang Jian didn’t make way, it would show that the Heavenly Court’s words were nothing more than deceit for the world’s creatures.
But if the Heavenly Court did allow passage, many things could be accomplished in the future.
Whether or not the Heavenly Court gave way, it would only be advantageous to them, with no disadvantage, so now it was up to the Heavenly Court to decide.
Yang Jian’s gaze was somewhat sharp, as he naturally realized this.
At present, the living beings of the Three Realms were all watching him.
Unless the Heavenly Court didn’t care at all about the opinions of the Three Realms’ creatures, he could refuse to yield.
But the current Heavenly Court had been established to protect all beings.
Losing the trust of the Three Realms’ living beings meant little to Emperor Jun and them.
However, for the Ziwei Heavenly Court, it was absolutely unacceptable.
With this in mind, Yang Jian finally made his decision.
He stepped aside, but his eyes remained fixed on Ji Meng, saying, "As long as you do not harm the living beings, the Heavenly Court will naturally not interfere, but refrain from overstepping. Otherwise, even if Emperor Jun protects you, your fate is sealed."
Ji Meng understood clearly that Yang Jian was not threatening.
If he gave the Heavenly Court any reason, they would undoubtedly take action without hesitation to kill him.
Ji Meng smiled, but it was a rather mocking smile.
Yang Jian’s expression turned somewhat frigid as he disappeared from the spot.
However, Ji Meng knew well that someone was watching them.
The Heavenly Court couldn’t possibly let them wander freely in the Three Realms.
Give the Heavenly Court just a little reason, and they would act without any hesitation.
Even if roaming the Three Realms at will, one must be cautious.
Yet the day’s achievement of reaching this point was a significant advancement.
"Second Brother, why didn’t you take action to destroy this Ji Meng, killing his subordinates? If Ji Meng were slain, Emperor Jun would surely feel as though they were being cut to the core."
The First Marshal under Emperor Jun’s command was naturally very important to Emperor Jun.
Usually, they stationed in the Western Continent, leaving no opportunity for action, but now that they had left the Western Continent, they could definitely strike.
How the world viewed them, to Nezha, was irrelevant.
Effectively damaging the enemy was the most important thing.
Glancing at Nezha, Yang Jian easily discerned his thoughts.
Shaking his head slightly, Yang Jian said, "No."
Nezha frowned, somewhat discontentedly saying, "Second Brother, do you still care about others’ opinions? In the end, only the victorious matters; why care what others say?"
Yet Yang Jian shook his head and said calmly, "If we act now, we truly lose."
"Why?"
Nezha was slightly taken aback.
Yang Jian’s gaze turned profound, and he coldly laughed, "The Heavenly rules are the foundation of the Heavenly Court, and living beings are the cornerstone of the Ziwei Heavenly Court. If we do not follow the Heavenly rules, it will naturally incite resentment among the Three Realms’ living beings. At that time, the backlash from the creatures’ telekinesis will entangle the Great Emperor Ziwei in trouble, making it difficult for His Majesty to use the telekinesis to enhance his cultivation, and even if he ascends to the level of a Heavenly Emperor, the true might of a Heavenly Emperor will be hard to achieve."
"So that’s how it is."
Nezha was astonished.
He had not anticipated there would be such a belief.
