"You're the kind of idiotic, stubborn demon that's becoming rarer these days. Do you actually feel proud of that?"
"If you keep being this foolish, you might not just betray that Jade Emperor, but you could also expose all the gods, buddhas, and even the Seven Great Sages."
"Since you're playing the lackey, you should have the awareness of one. Since I'm in a good mood, scram back and tell the Jade Emperor that his schemes and plans are being watched."
"What is done in the dark will come to light. Colluding with heretical demons and affecting the Journey to the West Tribulation, the consequences are something even Dao Ancestor Hongjun himself wouldn't dare to bear, let alone a quasi-saint like the Jade Emperor."
"Don't blame anyone when you walk into a dead end in the future!"
Since Sun Kong couldn't destroy the high-ranking demon's true spirit, he could only watch him return to the Heavenly Court to report to the Jade Emperor. He decided to scare him with these words.
This wasn't because he suddenly wanted to fight the Heavenly Court.
It was due to two considerations.
Firstly, Sun Kong naturally needed to cause trouble and act wildly to shock more people, to shock them further and gain better rewards.
Therefore, every time he encountered something, his first reaction wasn't to cower or retreat, but to charge headfirst.
The Seven Great Sages were like this.
The buddhas of Spirit Mountain were like this.
Why not add the Jade Emperor of the Heavenly Court to the list?
Even if he pointed out that he was being watched, with Sun Kong's special luck and the Jade Emperor's pathetic cultivation, which wasn't even that of a Saint, it would pose no harm to him.
Secondly, Sun Kong had been busy rescuing his second brother Wu Zhiqi and dealing with Zhu Yishi during this period, and he was naturally a bit tired.
For some reason, ever since Quasi-Saint Zhun Ti publicly praised him last time, making the three realms of the Great Wilderness aware of it, there were fewer people giving him opportunities to court death.
If this continued, it would definitely lead to fewer rewards and a complete lack of motivation.
Hence, this move.
This time, Sun Kong deliberately used the high-ranking demon as a mouthpiece to beat the bush, alerting the Jade Emperor and the Old Ancestor Minghe behind him.
If they didn't make a move, it would be fine.
But if they dared to act, or investigated who it was that annihilated the Jade Emperor's lackey, the high-ranking demon, or traced it all the way to New Huaguo Mountain,
Sun Kong would inevitably seize the opportunity to court death and counterattack fiercely.
And at that time, once the Heavenly Court's collusion with the Asura Sect was publicly exposed, even if the Jade Emperor and Old Ancestor Minghe could deter many with their martial power,
It would definitely be of great benefit to the Journey to the West, especially the one Sun Kong was participating in.
At the very least, it would invite opposition from the buddhas of Spirit Mountain and other participants in the Journey to the West tribulation.
At worst, it might incur the wrath of the Saints and punishment from the Heavenly Dao, leaving the Jade Emperor and Old Ancestor Minghe in dire straits!
This would shift Sun Kong from a passive position to an active one.
From depression to a more exciting, more exhilarating courting of death!
"Old man Jade Emperor, you should make good use of this opportunity, make more mistakes, and be more impulsive. Many people are waiting to laugh at you and share your merit."
"Don't think you have special treatment just because you were Dao Ancestor's attendant. You have no idea how deep the water is in this Journey to the West tribulation. I advise you to withdraw early before you lose control."
"Now, this handsome guy has deliberately left behind a trace of my aura, to see if your people dare to come out and if they have the ability to track me down."
"If you don't dare, or can't, then don't say anything. In any case, the Heavenly Court is full of factions, and you have too many useless confidantes, that's common knowledge."
"But if you truly dare and truly can, I will be waiting for you at New Huaguo Mountain. After all, my cultivation, my treasures, and the improvement of those around me all depend on you guys sending them to me."
"I'm not afraid of the consequences of courting death being too great, I'm afraid of the events not being grand enough, not being satisfying enough!"
Here, as soon as Sun Kong had this thought, he immediately rode the Chaos Somersault Cloud and accelerated into the vast expanse of clouds, heading towards the Wa Imperial Palace beyond the thirty-third heaven.
Meanwhile, as he had predicted, when the high-ranking demon, whose true spirit was barely clinging to existence, returned to the Jade Emperor and explained everything.
The Jade Emperor was instantly shocked!
And silently, he awarded Sun Kong new rewards!
[Ding! The host's single blow annihilated the Heavenly Court secret agent, Gao Laoyao, who was responsible for sending Zhu Yishi to reincarnation, shocking the Jade Emperor, causing him to immediately send people to investigate the details of this matter.]
[Given the Jade Emperor's fury, he will discover it was the host within three days at the fastest, and within a month at the latest. It is highly likely he will seek trouble with the host.]
[Please be cautious of the collaboration between the Jade Emperor and Old Ancestor Minghe. They might send experts far more powerful than imagined, even more terrifying than ordinary buddhas.]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a regular reward: a golden brick from the Lingxiao Treasure Hall.]
[Note: This golden brick is one of the 108 golden bricks that make up the Lingxiao Treasure Hall. Once all are collected, you can obtain the complete Lingxiao Treasure Hall!]
[Current Collection Progress: 2/108!]
A golden, shining golden brick was awarded.
As expected of Heavenly Court craftsmanship, it was so beautiful and alluring.
However.
Sun Kong, having witnessed too many top-tier rewards, had no other nonsense to say. After a mere tenth of a second of covetousness, he threw it into the depths of his primordial spirit where other rewards were stored.
Keeping it safe.
The next second.
Before the Heavenly Court could truly dispatch experts like Erlang Shen Yang Jian, the gods of the Jie Sect, or the Four Great Demon Gods under Old Ancestor Minghe.
Sun Kong quickly accelerated again.
Under the mad speed of his Chaos Somersault Cloud, in less than a day and night, he broke through the trillions of miles of Heavenly Realm clouds.
He passed through countless Heavenly Realm gale forces.
He endured the bombardment of various heavenly lightning, Yin lightning, thunder, Nine Yang Divine Thunder, Nine Yin Mystic Thunder, and so on, which even Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortals could hardly withstand.
Finally.
He finally arrived at a special space that was half chaos energy and half innate energy, unique to the Seven Great Sages.
Looking up.
The floating island suspended directly above was none other than the Wa Imperial Palace, belonging to Nuwa, one of the Seven Great Sages and the only female Saint.
The Wa Imperial Palace was extremely majestic and grand, no more than three hundred million li tall, and with a radius of only ninety million li.
It didn't seem extravagant enough.
Nor was it one percent the size of the Heavenly Court.
But it possessed an undeniable aura of awe!
However, it wasn't the nonchalant detachment of Lao Tzu, nor the majestic presence of Primordial Celestial Venerable, nor the tragic aura of Master of Heaven.
Even different from the boundless Buddhist chants and infinite incantations of the Two Sages of the Western Sect.
This place, due to Nuwa's existence, and because she was not only the Mother of the Human Race but also one of the remnants of the Demon Race.
Therefore, it exuded infinite green vitality.
When Sun Kong or others came here, every step they took made them feel comfortable, wanting to sing, forget their troubles, and be forever happy.
But Sun Kong knew very well that this trip was no joke. Although Nuwa was his godmother, she was also a woman, with a woman's strengths and weaknesses.
Mo Winging off her for a meal?
That's fine.
The Wa Imperial Palace had countless birds and beasts, rare treasures, but less than a hundred people, enough for him to eat for an entire tribulation and still not finish.
But to ask Nuwa for a fragment of the Tiangang Guiyi Gong?
That would be absolutely difficult.
Nuwa's stinginess was second only to the Two Sages of the Western Sect!
