Sun Kong's move, nine true and one false, was incredibly ruthless.
Except for him and the Jade Emperor, almost no one would have imagined that, apart from the identity of Daoist Bairen, which was acknowledged by the Jade Emperor, having some truth to it, the rest of his statement was fabricated.
Indeed.
The Jade Emperor's previous life was the Haotian boy of Dao Ancestor Hongjun, and his life before that was one of the three thousand demonic gods before the heavens and earth were split. He was the Bairen Demonic God.
Although most people did not know this, the Jade Emperor had not forgotten.
And after Sun Kong pointed it out, it was difficult for him to refute.
As for Dao Ancestor Hongjun and the Demon Saint, after Sun Kong's reminder, they immediately activated their supreme cultivation techniques and deduced some clues.
They were extremely wary of the Jade Emperor!
But these reactions meant nothing to Sun Kong.
After all, before setting out this time, he had activated the "Wuhou Seven Stars Array" and, with the cooperation of the Primitive Treasure Box, he had managed to discover a function of the treasure box that even Primordial Heavenly Venerable might not have known.
That is, it could greatly enhance deductive abilities, tracing the target of deduction from after the creation of heaven and earth to before it.
It was precisely because the deduction results at that time revealed that the Jade Emperor was the Bairen Demonic God that Sun Kong did not object after hearing the conversation between Primordial Heavenly Venerable and his disciples.
Instead, he actively played the role of a pawn.
So far, including Dao Ancestor Hongjun, the Demon Saint, and countless other powerful figures, they were all shocked by his words, and the Jade Emperor was unable to defend himself.
Everyone's firepower and attention were focused on the Heavenly Court and the Jade Emperor.
This not only helped Primordial Heavenly Venerable delve deeper into a certain part of the chaotic void, but also allowed Sun Kong to once again reap the long-lost "shock reward"!
"System, System, don't be sleepy, don't nod off just because I, Old Sun, am about to become the eldest disciple of Golden Cicada, the senior disciple of the Journey to the West, and am in the thick of things."
"Now, I, Old Sun, with my words of nine truths and one falsehood, have shocked countless people, and also made the Jade Emperor the fourth person to be feared, after Dao Ancestor Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao and Demonic Dao."
"Shouldn't you quickly issue the reward?"
"Ten or eight buckets of Pangu's essence blood might be too much, but at least, ten or eight drops should be acceptable, right?"
Seeing countless gazes focused on the Jade Emperor and the Heavenly Court, causing the Jade Emperor to bear unprecedented pressure and the Heavenly Court's status to be precarious, Sun Kong took the opportunity to sneak away. On the way back to the New Flower Fruit Mountain, he also bantered a few words with the system.
As expected.
The system, sensing the great shock Sun Kong had caused everyone, which was one of the few times since his transmigration, was naturally not stingy.
It promptly issued rewards.
This was another incredibly generous reward after many years!
[Ding, your words of nine truths and one falsehood have shocked Dao Ancestor Hongjun, making him wary of the Jade Emperor, in addition to his fear of the resurgence of the Demonic Dao.]
[Reward: One drop of Pangu's essence blood from Hongjun!]
[Ding, your words of nine truths and one falsehood have shocked the Demon Saint, making him hesitate in his cooperative relationship with the Jade Emperor, in addition to dealing with the Heavenly Dao lineage.]
[Reward: One drop of Pangu's essence blood from the Demon Saint!]
...
[Ding, you have also shocked the Jade Emperor himself, leaving him speechless and unable to distinguish the matter of the Bairen Demonic God. To continue surviving, he had to compromise with Dao Ancestor Hongjun and the Demon Saint.]
[Reward: Half a drop of Pangu's essence blood from the Jade Emperor, also the only half drop he has obtained so far.]
[Note: After this incident, the Jade Emperor's hatred for you has deepened, reaching the highest intensity among all beings in the Honghuang Three Realms, more than double that of the New Six-Eared Macaque.]
[Please be extremely cautious. Using the Jade Emperor's identity to spread rumors can only be done once. He will seek revenge a millionfold on the Journey to the West!]
...
The two batches of shock rewards above were quite good, allowing Sun Kong to finally recoup the one drop of Pangu's essence blood lost when Golden Cicada was injured back then, with interest.
He now possessed a total of three and a half drops of Pangu's essence blood. Although he did not know its purpose for now, his confidence seemed to have increased by 2.5 times!
Afterward, the subsequent shock rewards were roughly divided into three tiers, with the highest being the shock from the Six Saints.
The middle tier consisted of various Quasi-Saints, including Sakyamuni, the New Six-Eared Macaque, and other high-level beings.
The lowest tier was the shock reward from various Hunyuan Golden Immortals and ordinary beings who were not even Hunyuan Golden Immortals.
[Ding! You have shocked the Six Saints, making them even more in awe of your deductive abilities, and they are greatly astonished and extremely vigilant about the Jade Emperor's former life being as famous as the Dao Ancestor.]
[Reward: Twelve drops of Pangu's essence blood collectively from the Six Saints. However, due to the concentration of Pangu's essence blood in their bodies being only half that of Dao Ancestor Hongjun, the Demon Saint, and the Jade Emperor.]
[Therefore, these twelve drops of Pangu's essence blood are actually equivalent to six drops.]
This was the first tier.
[Ding! You have also shocked the various Quasi-Saints, Sakyamuni, the New Six-Eared Macaque, and other high-level beings, making them even more reverent of you and gain a new understanding of the Honghuang Three Realms.]
[Reward 1: Reverence from the various Quasi-Saints, 4x20 points!]
[Reward 2: Father-son affection value from Sakyamuni, 4x20 points!]
[Reward 3: Hatred ratio from your mortal enemy, the New Six-Eared Macaque, 4x480%!]
This was the second tier.
[Ding! You have further shocked countless beings in the Honghuang Three Realms, making them evaluate you, the progenitor of deception, even higher, and have generated a subtle shift in their stance.]
[However, due to the shock rewards brought by these beings being too weak and insignificant, this system has merged them.]
[Ultimately, the shock rewards they brought have been fused into one-hundredth of a drop of Pangu's essence blood. You can choose to consume it yourself to enhance your strength, or return it to them to gain their faith.]
[Note: Because you arranged for Tathagata Buddha to reincarnate as Sakyamuni in advance, embarking on the path of creating the Pure Land of Sukhavati, this faith will become the foundation for building the Pure Land of Sukhavati in the future.]
[Note 2: The other uses of this faith power are currently unknown. Please continue to work hard!]
This third tier...
It was indeed insignificant.
Billions of beings only contributed one-hundredth of a drop of Pangu's essence blood.
However, upon hearing that the faith power could be used to construct the Pure Land of Sukhavati and that it had other profound uses, Sun Kong's entire being ignited!
"As expected, it's easy to fool fools, and even easier to fool smart people."
"I originally just wanted to cover for Primordial Heavenly Venerable, but unexpectedly, I ended up doing something big."
"The amount of Pangu's essence blood has skyrocketed, reaching nearly ten drops. Now, I, Old Sun, have truly become rich without knowing how to enjoy it."
"I must go back quickly and hide it."
Sun Kong returned with the mood of a nouveau riche.
But for the Jade Emperor, the questioning from various factions instantly submerged him, making him almost wish he were dead!
