Watched Him Raise His Tower, Feast His Guests, and Watched His Tower Fall

Star Dou Great Forest.

At first, seeing the Heavenly Court send so many people to capture the Handsome Monkey King had left Di Tian deeply indignant.

After all, the Handsome Monkey King was a beast.

But after Sun Wukong traded blows with Nezha and Yang Jian, Di Tian fell into bewilderment.

"Are they pure-blooded humans?"

They could transform into anything, and one even had a third eye between his brows. Were these humans?

"My lord, perhaps in the Primordial World, the line between humans and beasts isn't drawn so clearly?"

"Demon beasts can hold office, and cultivating in the Primordial World doesn't require hunting soul beasts for soul rings. Perhaps once we get there, no one will set their sights on us soul beasts anymore."

Far North.

The Snow Empress, who had originally thought herself very powerful, fell silent. She had also noticed what Di Tian had mentioned.

"Once we reach the Primordial World, we'll only need to cultivate while making sure we stay safe."

"Sister Xue'er, doesn't the Primordial World have heavenly tribulations?"

"I don't know. Let's keep watching. As long as this human called Qian Renxue doesn't die, we'll be able to gather more information."

"Mm, Sister Xue'er, I want to go to the Primordial World with you."

Spirit Hall.

"Is this the level the Primordial World's Qi Refining Method can reach? Xiao Xue will surely be able to do this in the future too, won't she?"

A brilliant gleam shot from Qian Daoliu's eyes.

"Great Enshrined, she certainly will. What the young mistress cultivates was bestowed by the Great Heavenly Venerable himself. Even that Earth Granny said it could take her all the way to becoming a Daluo Golden Immortal."

"Ah, I just don't know whether Xiao Xue will be affected by the Great Sage Equal to Heaven this time."

Qian Daoliu was a little worried.

Bibi Dong scoffed. She was truly speechless at this stubborn old recluse. "Relax. Nothing will happen."

"She performed very well. No one in power dislikes an utterly loyal subordinate."

"She might even benefit from this."

Bibi Dong thought that once she reached the Primordial World, she could seek out Qian Renxue and ask for her help.

But first, she would have to reconcile with Qian Renxue. That would be rather difficult; she had made Qian Renxue suffer terribly over the past few years.

Qian Daoliu spoke again.

"Right, Xiao Xue still has those stolen goods. Hurry up and hand them over."

Qian Daoliu stared nervously at the livestream.

In the Primordial World, Qian Renxue had also forgotten the peaches and wine stuffed inside her robes.

She was focused entirely on watching Yang Jian battle Sun Wukong.

Just then, she heard Nezha's voice.

"Hey, Heavenly King, aren't you going to lend a hand?"

As Nezha spoke, he stole a glance at the precious pagoda in Li Jing's hand.

"We must have faith in True Lord Erlang."

Li Jing tightened his grip on the pagoda.

Listening to their exchange, Qian Renxue felt that Li Jing seemed a little flustered.

She was also very puzzled as to why Li Jing wasn't helping. The precious pagoda in his hand looked extraordinary at a glance.

"Hmph, once we return to heaven, I'll report your dereliction of duty to the Great Heavenly Venerable!"

Nezha snorted coldly. "You don't even have the courage to attack that demon monkey. You can't even compare to an Earth God."

As he spoke, Nezha glanced toward Qian Renxue.

When Qian Renxue's gaze met Nezha's, even her heart trembled.

So cute.

Earlier, she had been too preoccupied with fearing Nezha's baleful aura. Now that she saw him up close, she discovered that he was prettier than a little girl.

His little face was plump, and his arms were round and chubby, as fair and tender as two sections of lotus root. Just looking at them made one want to give them a squeeze.

"What rude thoughts are you having?"

Nezha spoke without warning, and Qian Renxue abruptly came to her senses.

"I wouldn't dare. This lowly god just suddenly remembered that I still have stolen goods on me."

Thinking quickly in a pinch, Qian Renxue took the peaches and wine out of her robes.

Nezha folded his arms and turned his head away. "Hmph, since that monkey gave them to you, keep them and eat them yourself."

"This lowly god thanks you, exalted god."

Joy stirred in Qian Renxue's heart.

"Enough chatter!"

Nezha snorted coldly, and Qian Renxue immediately found this god named Nezha even cuter.

Just then, Nezha suddenly looked up at the sky.

"It's about to end."

"Hm?"

Qian Renxue hurriedly looked down and found Sun Wukong and Yang Jian still locked in a fierce, inseparable battle.

As she puzzled over it, a silvery-white Diamond Bracelet suddenly appeared behind Sun Wukong's head.

Thud! A muffled impact rang out.

Sun Wukong toppled over and went straight to sleep.

The next instant, the Immortal-Binding Rope bound him, and Yang Jian captured him alive.

"Thank you for your assistance, Laojun."

Yang Jian saluted the sky. Only then did Qian Renxue notice that an auspicious cloud had arrived at some point.

Standing atop it was an old man of immortal bearing, dressed in a robe bearing the eight trigrams. A kindly smile rested on his face as he slipped the Diamond Bracelet into his sleeve.

What kind of numinous treasure was that?!

Qian Renxue's heart jolted.

She had witnessed firsthand just how monstrous Sun Wukong was. Neither Nezha nor this Justice Heavenly God had been able to inflict any effective damage on him.

Yet now, with that one light strike, Sun Wukong had fallen.

The power of numinous treasures is simply too terrifying.

In Qian Renxue's mind, some powerful numinous treasures might be equivalent to the Douluo Continent's Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings. Merely displaying them was enough to serve as a deterrent.

Wait!

Qian Renxue suddenly came to her senses.

Laojun?

This is Taishang Laojun?

Qian Renxue looked at the kindly old man before her.

Is this the great god whose golden cores can turn someone directly into a Daluo Golden Immortal?

In a flash, Qian Renxue grew deeply reverent. She even began imagining this mighty figure seeing how she had defied power and preferred death to bowing before the demon monkey, then rewarding her with a golden core.

She could hardly be blamed for daydreaming. Who could withstand such temptation?

Unfortunately, Laojun did not spare so much as a glance for her, a mere earth god.

"You're too kind, True Lord Erlang. Since the demon monkey has been captured, this old Daoist will take his leave."

"Farewell, Laojun."

At that moment, Sun Wukong also woke up.

"Old man, you ambushed Old Sun! Old Sun will remember this! You'd better watch your pills!"

Sun Wukong unleashed a torrent of abuse.

Laojun pointed teasingly at Sun Wukong. "You monkey, you've already ravaged all the pills in my Doushuai Palace. Do you intend to eat my pill furnace as well? Hahaha."

Laojun gave a wealthy old man's laugh and went on his way.

"Behave yourself, demon monkey! This Heavenly King will send you straight to the Demon-Slashing Platform!"

Li Jing breathed a sigh of relief and directed the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals to withdraw.

With a casual wave, Nezha sent Qian Renxue to Flower-Fruit Mountain.

By the time Qian Renxue recovered her senses, the sky had cleared, without a cloud for ten thousand miles.

She held the Peaches of Immortality and wine in her hands. Before her lay the devastated Flower-Fruit Mountain, with monkey corpses strewn everywhere.

"This..."

Was that it?

That lawless Great Sage Equal to Heaven, the Handsome Monkey King, a mighty figure of the Primordial World whom the Great Heavenly Venerable had twice recruited-had his story come to such an abrupt end?

Qian Renxue's feelings suddenly grew complicated.

"Ah, why think so much? From now on, no one on Flower-Fruit Mountain can provoke me. That's a good thing for me."

Though she called it a good thing, Qian Renxue could not smile.

She had witnessed firsthand how the Handsome Monkey King had gone from free and unrestrained to a prisoner. Even when it happened to someone else, such a fall could hardly fail to sadden a person.

Douluo Continent.

"That's it?"

"I thought it would take a lot more effort to capture him. Who would've thought that old man would take him down with a single ambush?"

"What old man? That was Taishang Laojun, the Laojun who can refine golden cores! The numinous treasure in his hand must be anything but ordinary."

"Why do I feel so empty inside? The Great Sage Equal to Heaven was so powerful, and it ended just like that?"

"Being escorted back to the Heavenly Court definitely means a death sentence. Didn't that Heavenly King just say he was going to that Demon-Slashing Platform?"

"Ah, for such a figure to end up reduced to dust and ashes. How tragic."

Across the Douluo Continent, many people also felt an emptiness inside.

They had watched him raise his tower, feast his guests, and watched his tower fall.

"The Heavenly Court must not be provoked!"

At that moment, everyone deeply understood the terror of the Heavenly Court.

Spirit Hall.

"What a pity for such a figure."

Bibi Dong felt regret for Sun Wukong.

Qian Daoliu thought differently. "Grave mistakes deserve punishment. I think that Great Heavenly Venerable has already been very merciful."

Shrek Academy.

"So impressive!"

Dai Mubai clapped excitedly.

"That Justice Heavenly God is practically me."

Oscar rolled his eyes. "Boss Dai, get a grip. Here, eat a sausage and restore your brain a little."

"Get lost."

Dai Mubai shot Oscar a fierce look, then sighed. "Still, it really is a pity about that Great Sage Equal to Heaven."

"Yeah."

Oscar nodded too.

"Hmph, have you forgotten? That monkey rebelled against heaven."

Yu Xiaogang spoke up then.
