123: Chapter 123 The Jade Emperor 123: Chapter 123 The Jade Emperor Sun Wukong gave out one to each person, even Du Ni’s disciple received one.

The young girl was extremely excited, her hands trembling as she held the peaches of immortality and the Ginsengfruit.

These two items were regarded as the most precious treasures in the Three Realms.

Not to mention her, a mere Human Immortal, even Celestial Immortals didn’t have the fortune to taste them.

Haven’t you seen that even Lu Dongbin said he had never eaten a Ginsengfruit?

“One for each person, eat it and then hurry to assimilate it.

Old Lu, I will also give you my portion, so you strive to enter the Heavenly Venerate realm as soon as possible,”

Sun Wukong also gave his portion to Lu Dongbin.

If one more Heavenly Venerate could emerge on their side, they would have a slight advantage when facing enemies in the future.

“Thank you, Great Sage,”

Lu Dongbin didn’t refuse, knowing his current situation.

He pointed a finger, passing on all his Cultivation Method and insights to Du Ni.

“Your major realms have many deficiencies.

Now with the Ginsengfruit and peaches of immortality, you can perfect your own realm and possibly break through to Heavenly Venerate in the future.”

To become a Heavenly Venerate, an unstable Dao Foundation was absolutely impossible.

Moreover, every single cultivation realm had to be perfected without flaws before one could aspire to Heavenly Venerate.

This was also the reason why many Loose Cultivators found it difficult to become Heavenly Venerates.

Without a legacy, it is difficult to perfect each realm.

When one reaches a high realm, wanting to re-cultivate it would not be easy.

“Thank you, Master,”

du Ni said excitedly.

Then, she thanked Sun Wukong, “Thank you, Great Sage.”

Sun Wukong waved his hand, indicating she need not be polite.

Lu Dongbin looked at the young girl, passing on another Cultivation Method and insights to her.

The Immortal Light flickered around the girl, and she was actually about to step into the Earth Immortal realm.

Everyone left to begin assimilating the peaches of immortality and Ginsengfruit.

Sun Wukong looked towards the distance; his figure flashed, leaving the area.

Sha Wujing, covered in blood, lay there in an extremely sorry state, having suffered very severe injuries.

Sun Wukong stood there, staring at Sha Wujing but not moving to assist him.

Seeing Sun Wukong appear, Sha Wujing’s eyes lit up slightly as he weakly called out, “Big Brother, save me.”

Sun Wukong indifferently said, “Who is your Big Brother?

Call me Great Sage Grandfather.”

Sha Wujing quickly corrected himself, pleading, “Great Sage Grandfather, please save me, Master is trying to kill me.”

Sun Wukong was slightly startled, his gaze taking on a curious light.

“That waste?

He managed to injure you this badly?”

Sha Wujing’s face bore a bitter expression as he said, “If it were truly Master himself, of course, he could not have hurt me like this, but the one who took action was not Master, it was Jin Chan.”

“Is there a difference?”

Sun Wukong’s face was expressionless.

That old monk is but the reincarnation of Jin Chan.

Sha Wujing shook his head, terrified as he spoke, “Master is the reincarnation of Jin Chan, but not the true Jin Chan.

The true self of Jin Chan has always been sealed by the Buddha.

Just now, Xingtian emerged and nearly killed Master; Jin Chan’s true self awakened, taking control of Master’s body.”

“Is he afraid the secret would leak?

That’s why he wants to kill you?”

Sun Wukong was somewhat surprised,

This “true self” of Jin Chan was indeed interesting.

At least his decisiveness in killing exceeded that of the old monk, quite like the style of Tathagata.

“No, he wants to consume me and the Little White Dragon to strengthen himself, to break through Tathagata’s seal and truly free himself from constraints,”

Sha Wujing’s face was full of terror, as if he had thought of something horrifying.

So ruthless?

“Understood,”

Sun Wukong nodded, ready to depart.

As for saving people, sorry, he had no interest; what did it have to do with him?

A figure appeared not far from Sun Wukong, blocking his way.

Sandalwood Merit Buddha, or perhaps it should be said, Jin Chan.

His gaze was strange, fixated on Sun Wukong, with nothing but fervor and greed in his eyes.

If he could absorb Sun Wukong, he would be able to break free from Tathagata’s bonds and return to his True Self.

Sun Wukong could feel Jin Chan’s intense longing.

“Innate spirits since the creation of heaven and earth have been rare, Sun Wukong, if I could devour you, I could return to my ‘True Self’ and might even go further, become Great Heavenly Venerate; then the entire Buddhist Realm would be mine,” Jin Chan said excitedly.

“Just with you?”

Sun Wukong’s eyebrows raised slightly.

It wasn’t that he looked down on Jin Chan, but even ten of the likes of Jin Chan couldn’t take him down.

Sun Wukong stared at Jin Chan, puzzled.

Such grand ambition from Jin Chan?

Could Tathagata tolerate it?

Yet he sealed his ‘True Self,’ leaving such a weak personality as Sandalwood Merit Buddha.

Sun Wukong suddenly laughed; perhaps if he could kill Jin Chan, he would break one of Tathagata’s schemes.

He felt somewhat eager to try.

Jin Chan frowned.

Clearly, Sun Wukong was his prey.

Why did it seem as though it was him who looked at Jin Chan as if he was prey?

“I’m wondering if killing you might thwart some of Tathagata’s plans.

You fool, to think that Tathagata fears you, that’s hilarious.

Such a stupid fellow, Tathagata has a thousand ways to kill you, and you wish to replace him and take over the entire Buddhist Realm?

Ridiculous,” Sun Wukong sneered repeatedly.

Jin Chan’s brow furrowed, and he coldly said, “Nonsense, nothing but a monkey from later generations, what do you know?”

“Heh.”

Sun Wukong couldn’t be bothered to argue.

At that moment, Jin Chan made his move; he actually initiated an attack, swinging his Nine Ringed Staff towards Sun Wukong’s head.

Sun Wukong stood there motionless, letting the staff crash onto his head.

Clang.

Sparks flew; Sun Wukong chuckled, saying, “You think you can kill me with that?”

Jin Chan’s expression changed drastically; he stared at Sun Wukong and said coldly, “Such a hard skull, the Great Grade Celestial Immortal Technique, truly worthy of being created by that person, indeed, very impressive.”

Sun Wukong’s expression changed.

Staring at Jin Chan, he asked, “Do you know my master?”

Jin Chan’s lips curled into a mocking smile as he coldly said, “Your master?

Heh, once you know his identity, you probably won’t want him to be your master anymore.

But it doesn’t matter now, this monkey has never had much feeling for his master.”

Sun Wukong’s gaze turned somewhat cold.

“Tell me who he is, and I’ll spare your life.”

Jin Chan laughed heartily, saying coldly, “If I don’t tell you, at worst, I’ll just be killed by you.

If I do tell you, I’ll likely end up in a state where I can neither live nor die.

Do you think I will tell you?”

Sun Wukong was shaken inside.

Jin Chan wasn’t afraid of even the Buddha, looking to revolt, even to replace him.

Who could he be so wary of?

“Jade Emperor.”

Sun Wukong suddenly said it out loud.

Jin Chan’s smile stiffened, then he laughed coldly, “Since you’re going to die anyway, even if you know, he won’t do anything to me.”

Indeed, it was him.

Sun Wukong trembled throughout his body, but how could it be him?

Why was it him?

He closed his eyes for a moment and then reopened them; the expression on his face had become perfectly calm.

“Go ahead.”

Sun Wukong said.

He took a deep breath, not waiting for Jin Chan to strike, he struck first.

The Jingu Bang, filled with powerful mana, swept Jin Chan off his feet.

The Buddha’s Golden Body now had cracks showing.

Jin Chan was stunned; wasn’t this monkey asking him to strike first?

Why had he struck instead?

Before he could react, Sun Wukong’s attack came down again.

Blown away once more, Jin Chan’s Golden Body bled.

He showed a look of terror; the strength of this monkey…

why was it so much stronger than remembered by that old monk?

Even in his prime, facing Sun Wukong, he wouldn’t necessarily have the upper hand.
