179: Chapter 170: Destroying the Decree ‘The Grand Chapter of Ten Thousand Characters’ _6 179: Chapter 170: Destroying the Decree ‘The Grand Chapter of Ten Thousand Characters’ _6 Mysterious Lady of the Nine Heavens laughed, surprised, and said, “Did you seek me just to ask this question?”

Chi You nodded fiercely, confidently stating, “I dare say I was definitely better than the Yellow Emperor back then, be it in terms of strategy or cultivation talent.

So, I don’t understand why you didn’t choose me but chose the Yellow Emperor instead.”

Mysterious Lady of the Nine Heavens chuckled and said, “Because the Yellow Emperor was weaker than you, my task was to help any of you win, but you were already stronger than the Yellow Emperor, where did you need help?

Even if I helped you defeat the Yellow Emperor, I wouldn’t have felt any sense of accomplishment, and you wouldn’t think I had helped you.”

“So?”

Chi You started to understand.

Mysterious Lady of the Nine Heavens burst out laughing, “So, I chose the weaker Yellow Emperor, who was inferior to you in every way, taught him military tactics and cultivation, and let him grow until he defeated you.”

So, it turned out that he wasn’t chosen by the Mysterious Lady of the Nine Heavens because he was too excellent.

The question he had pondered for so many years was given an answer that was both laughable and ironic.

And it was Ba who was the most devastated.

So, when the Mysterious Lady of the Nine Heavens chose her father years ago, it wasn’t because her father was excellent but because he was not excellent enough, not as much as Chi You.

The grand image of the Yellow Emperor in her heart suddenly crumbled by half.

If the Yellow Emperor knew this reason, he would also need a long time to recover.

The main reason was that it wasn’t very hurtful, but it was extremely insulting.

“Just this?”

Chi You continued to ask.

He actually lost because he was too excellent.

“What else could it be?”

Mysterious Lady of the Nine Heavens asked innocently.

Chi You bitterly smiled, not knowing what else to say.

“There is actually another reason, also the main reason.”

Mysterious Lady of the Nine Heavens seemed slightly embarrassed.

Chi You immediately asked, “What reason?”

Mysterious Lady of the Nine Heavens hesitantly smiled, saying, “Don’t be angry when I tell you.”

Chi You nodded fiercely.

Only then did Mysterious Lady of the Nine Heavens say, “Because you are not good-looking, a bit ugly, unlike the Yellow Emperor who is handsome.”

As soon as she said this, the avatar of Mysterious Lady of the Nine Heavens dissipated.

She could imagine how big of a blow her recent words were to Chi You.

Chi You was completely stunned.

The reason Mysterious Lady of the Nine Heavens chose the Yellow Emperor was because he was better looking than him.

Rejected due to ugliness.

Ironically, Sun Wukong had guessed it right, and Chi You’s confidence suffered a devastating blow.

Sun Wukong was also slightly stunned, recalling his own words, then he stepped forward, patted Chi You on the shoulder, and told him not to mind it so much.

“Being ugly is not your fault, don’t worry, we won’t discriminate against you,” Sun Wukong reassured him.

As a result, Chi You nearly split him into two with his axe.

Still daring to make such a remark here, as if Chi You had no temper.

After Mysterious Lady of the Nine Heavens left, Chi You returned to his former demeanor, looking all pompous and arrogant.

In contrast to his demeanor just before, it was like he was a different person.

“Forget it, the knot in my heart has been untied.

I’m about to become the Great Heavenly Venerate.

Farewell, everyone.

When we meet again, I will be the Great Heavenly Venerate.”

He had a knot in his heart, which he seemed to have finally untied, naturally aiming to rise to a higher realm,

Wukong also took his leave.

The Great Emperor Ziwei suppressed his smile and said earnestly, “In the future, you must be very careful when conducting your affairs.

There are not just one seeking to kill you, don’t give anyone an opportunity to do so.”

Wukong sneered, “Anyone who wants to kill Old Sun, just bring it on.

It’s just those two bald fools; they don’t have the capability, unless they throw all caution to the wind.”

The Great Emperor Ziwei smiled slightly and said, “You can also rest assured, if they indeed throw all caution to the wind, I will join the fray as well, and won’t let them harm you.

You are my friend, and we work together; I will protect my friends with all my might.”

Chi You looked at the Great Emperor Ziwei in surprise and couldn’t help but nod, saying, “You old guy aren’t bad, among the Four Heavenly Kings of the Heavenly Court, you still resemble a decent person.”

The expression on Great Emperor Ziwei’s face darkened, was that supposed to be a compliment?

It sounded more like an insult.

“If you can’t speak properly, then speak less.”

The Great Emperor Ziwei glared at Chi You.

Chi You snorted coldly and couldn’t be bothered with him.

“Don’t worry, I know my limits; having suffered so many losses before, I couldn’t possibly suffer again.”

Wukong was brimming with confidence.

Everyone bid their farewells and left the Purple Forbidden Enclosure.

Gold Star Taibai hesitated to speak.

“If Taibai wants to say something, just say it.”

The Great Emperor Ziwei said indifferently.

Only then did Gold Star Taibai say, “Great Emperor, now that we have already burnt bridges with the Jade Emperor, you mustn’t be so lenient in your actions anymore.

You have to strike when necessary; in this, Great Sage Sun does rather well.”

The Great Emperor Ziwei smiled slightly.

He had been startled by Wukong’s decisiveness earlier and hadn’t reacted immediately.

A determinate light flashed in the eyes of Great Emperor Ziwei as he stated solemnly, “Rest assured, Taibai, once we embark on the path of supremacy, there is no turning back.

Given the current situation, either we succeed or perish honourably, and I will not soften my heart any further.”

Gold Star Taibai finally smiled.

He had always known the problem with the Great Emperor Ziwei.

Seemingly majestic and decisive, but too compassionate and lenient.

Such a person is actually not suited for supremacy in the Three Realms.

Fortunately, the Great Emperor Ziwei had befriended Wukong; with Wukong clearing obstacles ahead, the Great Emperor Ziwei still held great promise.

These thoughts Gold Star Taibai kept to himself.

No emperor likes to be told they are inadequate.

The Great Emperor Ziwei was no exception.

Upon leaving the Purple Forbidden Enclosure, Chi You and Wukong said their goodbyes.

“Next time we meet, I will be a Great Heavenly Venerate, and then I will beat you so badly you’ll be scrambling to find your teeth,” Chi You said proudly.

Wukong laughed as well.

“Good, I really hope you become a Great Heavenly Venerate soon, then it’ll be thrilling to fight.

If you’re just a Heavenly Venerate, I’d feel embarrassed to fight you, as it would be bullying.”

Chi You’s face instantly darkened.

He snorted coldly and left to find a place for closed-door cultivation.

Wukong believed that before long, the world would witness the emergence of another Great Heavenly Venerate,

This Chi You Demon God had already been on the verge of a breakthrough.

“Let’s also head back to Huaguo Mountain,”

Wukong called to the others.
