149: Chapter 146 Can’t have it, destroy it 9 more 149: Chapter 146 Can’t have it, destroy it 9 more Great Emperor Ziwei suddenly had an epiphany.

His eyes sparkled with insight as he chuckled and said, “I was wondering why Kunpeng was so fond of stirring up trouble and constantly causing chaos—it turns out it was for this reason.”

This indeed resolved a question that had long perplexed many powerhouses of the Three Realms.

Kunpeng, this being, had been involved in the affairs of various eras within the Three Realms, and behind many events, his shadow could be more or less discerned.

“Rest assured, he won’t be bouncing around for much longer.

Assimilate Primordial Demonic Qi?

I see he’s almost been assimilated by the Primordial Demonic Qi himself.

If it were the former Kunpeng, how could he possibly leap out so readily and even go cause an uproar at the Peach Banquet?

Clearly, his mind has been affected by the Primordial Demonic Qi.”

Sun Wukong blinked his eyes.

Was that so?

He felt Kunpeng still seemed quite normal.

But, since Great Emperor Ziwei had said so, it was most likely true.

“Primordial Demonic Qi is the Immortal Root.

Lord Taishang and the others are immortal because they assimilated substances of the Primordial kind.

However, I have heard from my mother that such things, while being Immortal Roots, are also the source of disasters.

She warned me that if I ever encountered the same substances, I should not think about assimilating them, otherwise, I would definitely be the one to suffer in the end,” Great Emperor Ziwei said with a smile.

Sun Wukong did not quite understand, but he roughly grasped Great Emperor Ziwei’s point.

That is to say, that Primordial Demonic Qi was not so simple.

Kunpeng, in possessing Primordial Demonic Qi, ended up being influenced by it.

In the end, Kunpeng might even be manipulated by the Primordial Demonic Qi, becoming a puppet.

Seeing Sun Wukong’s thoughtful expression, Great Emperor Ziwei smiled faintly.

He patted Sun Wukong on the shoulder and said, “You don’t need to be too concerned about it.

In all likelihood, you won’t encounter such a thing in this lifetime.”

Sun Wukong rolled his eyes—who was he looking down on?

Great Emperor Ziwei took his leave and returned to the Heavenly Palace.

He still had many matters to attend to and needed to go back.

Sun Wukong pondered over Great Emperor Ziwei’s words—robbing someone?

Rob who?

His head ached.

Currently, the resources he valued were all backed by powerful forces.

And the items in the hands of Loose Cultivators did not appeal to Sun Wukong.

Great Emperor Ziwei had just spouted a bunch of nonsense.

Within the Southern Continent, Baize was concealed within the capital of a small nation, serving as its national advisor.

At this moment, he was communicating with a being outside of this world.

“Your Majesty, I fear it will be difficult to win over Sun Wukong.”

In front of Baize, a translucent figure emerged as if it was the early summer haze.

If Sun Wukong were here, he would definitely be able to recognize that it was none other than Emperor Jun.

He could actually project his image into the Three Realms with a Secret Technique.

Although he appeared fragile, just achieving this was extremely impressive.

This indicated that Emperor Jun’s strength was immensely formidable.

“If we can’t use him, kill him.

I have a premonition that Sun Wukong will become my greatest enemy in the future.

If he can be eliminated before he grows powerful, it would naturally be for the best,” Emperor Jun said indifferently.

The reason for his focus on Sun Wukong was that he had caught a glimpse of him through the rift and on a whim felt an alarm.

The alarm warned him that Sun Wukong posed a significant threat to him.

In the future, when he returned to the Three Realms, Sun Wukong could very well become his greatest enemy, possibly even leading to his defeat.

Therefore, he wished to subdue Sun Wukong, and if that failed, he would have Baize and others kill Sun Wukong, thus eliminating a strong adversary.

Baize hesitated, giving a bitter smile as he said, “It’s difficult, that monkey is very strong.

He could battle Heavenly Venerates even at the Celestial Immortal Realm.

Now that he has become a Heavenly Venerate, I’m afraid even the Great Heavenly Venerate might not be able to defeat him.”

“At any cost, kill him.

You can go find Kunpeng and ask him to take action.

As long as he can kill Sun Wukong, I will tell him the method to assimilate Primordial Demonic Qi,” Emperor Jun spoke, instructing Baize on how to proceed.

Kunpeng?

Baize furrowed his brows; he didn’t particularly like the other party.

They both enjoyed scheming, but Kunpeng was a madman who often did things to others’ detriment without benefitting himself.

But Baize was different, when he schemed, it was always for profit, unlike Kunpeng.

As for the Primordial Demonic Qi, Baize had also heard of it; he knew exactly what it was—the Root of Immortality.

Once one successfully refined the Primordial Demonic Qi, one could become immortal.

“Your Majesty, Kunpeng is very calculating; I fear he won’t agree,” Baize said.

“Just do as I told you,” replied the phantom.

“Yes.”

Afterward, Emperor Jun’s phantom vanished.

Even for him, maintaining a phantom manifestation in the Three Realms consumed an immense amount of power.

With a gleam in his eyes, Baize was somewhat reluctant, but now that the order had been given by his majesty, he had no choice but to seek out Kunpeng, even if he didn’t want to.

If he couldn’t subdue him, then he would kill Sun Wukong.

If anyone in the world could find Kunpeng, Baize was definitely one of them.

He was hiding in his lair; Baize hadn’t neglected him.

The moment Kunpeng made a move, Baize would find him.

Kunpeng looked at Baize with a trace of wariness in his eyes.

He stared at Baize and said, “It’s you.”

“I have the honor of meeting Great Lord Kunpeng,” Baize replied with a slight smile.

Kunpeng, however, was somewhat impatient.

He waved his hand dismissively and said, “Enough, don’t be so hypocritical, what do you want from me?”

He looked at Baize with a wary eye.

Although the other’s strength was inferior to his own, Baize was a former subject of Emperor Jun, the Ancient Heavenly Emperor, famous for his vast knowledge.

Not only that, Baize was likewise adept at strategy, and was one of the few in the Three Realms Kunpeng truly dreaded.

Baize smiled faintly and said, “Great Lord Kunpeng, I know you have a vendetta against Sun Wukong; we could join forces to kill Sun Wukong.

I wonder if you would agree?”

Kunpeng was intrigued.

He stared at Baize and asked, “Why do you want to kill Sun Wukong?

Don’t tell me you are plotting against me?”

Kunpeng held a deep mistrust of Baize, worried about being outwitted by him.

His pair of cold, piercing eyes fixed on Baize, as if trying to discern his innermost thoughts.

Baize was unfazed, allowing the scrutiny without objection.

After a long moment, Kunpeng discerned nothing.

In Baize’s eyes, he could see only what seemed like sincere earnestness.

Kunpeng was the last to believe in such sincerity.

After pondering for a while, he finally raised his head and said, “Fine, but what’s in it for me?

You should know that I don’t mind if Sun Wukong is alive.

Even if he reaches the same level as The Three Pure Ones, as long as I don’t show myself before him, he can’t pose a threat to me.”

Baize smiled faintly and relayed the terms provided by Emperor Jun.

“My lord says that if you help kill Sun Wukong, he will tell you how to completely refine the Primordial Demonic Qi.”

Kunpeng’s eyes lit up with a fierce glow as he stared at Baize and said, “Are you speaking the truth?”

“I wouldn’t dare deceive Great Lord Kunpeng.

This is indeed what my lord said.

You should know my lord quite well; he has always been one to keep his word,” Baize said with a light smile.

Indeed, though Emperor Jun was notoriously fierce, he was known for keeping his promises.

Kunpeng was aware of this fact.

After thinking for a moment, he said, “I believe you.

When do we start?”

“I’ll arrange it.”

That settled it; Baize revealed a smile.
