Just now.
Although Sun Kong himself did not take action, he let Jin Chanzi and others suffer a big loss once, so that they would remember to not underestimate their opponents in the future.
But he also activated his Fiery Golden Eyes and saw that the White Tiger Ridge's three trials were destroyed, which made him slightly surprised.
But the next second.
He thought of how to get revenge!
"This Jade Emperor actually dares to do this openly?"
"This little Jade Emperor is much more ruthless than those Spirit Mountain Buddhas like Burning Lamp Ancient Buddha. Those guys are still on the fence today, not daring to help Jin Chanzi."
"Truly inferior to even Chan Master Wu Chao or the Eight Immortals of Chan Sect."
"However, if you, Jade Emperor, can do the first move, I, Old Sun, can also do the fifteenth."
"As long as the eighth trial has not yet arrived, as long as I, Old Sun, am not truly bound by this Journey to the West Tribulation and lose ninety-nine percent of my deduction ability, I can still retaliate against you."
Thinking of this, Sun Kong was much more efficient than Jin Chanzi and others. Without any further ado, he waited for Wu Zhiqi and Zhou Wuxian to return, and gave them some instructions.
He had the two return to their respective places of appearance to await Jin Chanzi.
Sun Kong himself, however, rode the Chaos Somersault Cloud and, in a few somersaults, arrived outside the thirty-three heavens, at the Jade Void Palace of Chan Sect.
To meet the Primordial Heavenly Lord.
For what reason?
For one thing only.
To borrow a treasure to deter the Heavenly Court and make the Jade Emperor cry!
"Primordial Heavenly Lord above, Sun Kong is here to disturb you. This time, I really cannot use my own spiritual treasures, because this matter is related to the Investiture of Gods you issued back then."
"As far as I know, although the Investiture of Gods has been changed to the Investiture of Demons by the Demonic Path, it still retains a trace of your aura in essence."
"As long as the Heavenly Lord is willing to lend me a Pangu Banner, with this Innate Supreme Treasure, I, Old Sun, guarantee that I will quickly rescue the disciples of Chan Sect and Human Sect within the Investiture of Demons."
"In any case, the situation has reached this point. I believe you also do not want the disciples of Chan Sect and Human Sect to be enslaved by the Investiture of Demons and controlled by the Jade Emperor."
"Why not let me, Old Sun, destroy it for you? We can consider it as everyone regaining their freedom and participating in this Journey to the West Tribulation based on their own abilities, wouldn't that be good?"
"Don't tell me you don't want to destroy that piece of junk and have your third-generation disciples return?"
"If that's really the case, I'm afraid the Jade Emperor will swallow not just one Dragon Beard Tiger and Xue Ehu, but others as well."
Sun Kong was indeed straightforward.
With just a few words, he not only pointed out the thoughts hidden in the Primordial Heavenly Lord's heart, but also somewhat persuaded him.
But before Sun Kong could be happy.
The Primordial Heavenly Lord, after his own deduction, was left speechless with a mix of laughter and tears.
Not for any other reason.
It was simply because what seemed like a simple matter to Sun Kong became incredibly difficult in the Primordial Heavenly Lord's deduction.
But he could not openly express his disappointment to Sun Kong.
Even more so because of other taboos, he could not speak openly.
Thus.
Just as Sun Kong was becoming impatient, eager to borrow the Pangu Banner immediately, destroy the Investiture of Demons, and also destroy the Heavenly Court.
The Primordial Heavenly Lord was much calmer. With a faint smile, his gaze swept over a certain Dao Ancestor who had fled to the chaotic void.
The next second.
As expected, he took out the primordial treasure box they had used last time and, the moment it opened, brought Sun Kong in with him!
"Why is the Sage of Yuqing so apprehensive?"
"That damned Heavenly Dao is already being targeted by the Demonic Path and cannot be distracted. As for that Dao Ancestor... hehehe, could it be that Sage of Yuqing has something he cannot say directly?"
"Sun Kong awaits good news!"
Sun Kong was Sun Kong. He immediately saw that the Primordial Heavenly Lord could produce this secret treasure this time, allowing them to shield themselves from Heavenly Dao and the Dao Ancestor, and converse.
There were clearly things that could not be said.
As expected.
The Primordial Heavenly Lord was slightly surprised by Sun Kong's understanding. The next second, without any reservation, he projected his deduction results with his divine power.
Forming scenes that made Sun Kong's heart tremble with their strangeness!
Just then.
This scene showed the Primordial Heavenly Lord agreeing to lend the Pangu Banner, and although Sun Kong tried his best to control himself and did not truly cause havoc in the Heavenly Palace, it still triggered a series of changes!
Simply put.
The Pangu Banner was easy to borrow.
Using the Pangu Banner to destroy the Investiture of Demons and release the disciples of Human Sect and Chan Sect, making it easier for them to participate in the Journey to the West and no longer be controlled by the Jade Emperor.
This matter was also not difficult.
However, the more difficult, the most difficult, and the true difficulty was that once the Pangu Banner was used, even if it was not the Primordial Heavenly Lord himself who deployed it, but Sun Kong who manipulated it.
It would surely provoke a furious counterattack from the Jade Emperor, the Master of the Heavenly Sect, and the New Six-Eared Macaque.
To put it lightly, destroying the Heavenly Court would be equivalent to slapping the face of the Dao Ancestor Hongjun's plan from back then. It was a small loss for him, but if he retaliated, he would definitely not look for anyone else.
He would only look for Sun Kong and the Primordial Heavenly Lord!
To put it heavily, without the Heavenly Court, which supported one of the three principles of Heaven, Earth, and Man, it would not be a good thing.
Instead, while damaging the Demonic Path alliance, it would also damage Heavenly Dao.
At that time.
Whether it was the Investiture of Demons or the Investiture of Gods, they would all turn into fragments, irreparable, and the entire Three Realms of the Great Desolation would then be split open.
Then.
Heavenly Dao and Dao Ancestor Hongjun would be harmed, and everyone who sided with them would also be harmed.
On the contrary, the Demonic Path, although without the Heavenly Court controlled by the Jade Emperor, still had their own terrifying forces, coupled with the Interception Sect controlled by the Master of the Heavenly Sect, if they counterattacked together.
Sun Kong's side would absolutely not be able to withstand it.
At worst, the great undertaking of Journey to the West would fail, the heavenly order would be chaotic, and the Three Realms would return to the primeval era of the Great Desolation, with the sky and earth overturned, and everyone in danger.
At its worst, the Demonic Path would invade and seize the positions of Heavenly Dao and Dao Ancestor Hongjun. At that point, even if Sun Kong had more heaven-defying abilities, he would be utterly crushed!
"Fellow Daoist Sun, this humble one is truly not stingy with the Pangu Banner, but there are unavoidable difficulties."
"Currently, the conflict between Dao and Demon still has certain constraints, and they dare not truly fight to the death, destroying the Three Realms of the Great Desolation and leaving no mortals behind."
"But if you were to truly borrow the Pangu Banner, I fear that before you could act, Heavenly Dao and the Dao Ancestor would deduce even more precise and far-reaching consequences than I."
"Even if the Demonic Path does not succeed."
"But, think about it, what would be the consequences if you angered Heavenly Dao and the Dao Ancestor?"
"This humble one knows you are worried about the Jade Emperor's subsequent actions, but you should also look further."
"Why should we be the only ones to passively take a beating? Why can't you find a way to sneak attack the second round of Journey to the West in the mortal realm?"
"Know this, before this, my disciples of Chan Sect, the people of Empress Nuwa's Wa Huang Palace, and the Buddhas of Spirit Mountain, the Mahayana Buddhist school, must all cooperate with you."
"Could it be that you can be arrogant and defiant to death, but you cannot start from this aspect?"
As the Primordial Heavenly Lord spoke, Sun Kong, who had overlooked the facts due to his haste, quickly calmed down and was also quickly convinced.
Indeed.
Why should they be sneak-attacked by the Jade Emperor and others, yet they could not send people to do things in the mortal realm?
But who exactly should be sent?
Sun Kong fell into a long period of contemplation!
