Master of the Demon Emperor-Chapter 738 - Patriarch Bodhi [Third Update]

"Why is he so strong? Even stronger than me..."

The Hongmeng Great Emperor asked incredulously, instinctively turning towards Pangu beside him.

He had already learnt the whole story. Su Yie had given Sun Wukong the divine enlightenment necessary for becoming a god, but this enhancement was a bit too incredible, wasn't it?

Pangu shook his head and said, "I only raised his cultivation to the realm of the First Emperor of the Nine Palaces. The reason he is so strong is because he harbors the origin power of His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor within him."

The Hongmeng Great Emperor frowned and asked, "What do you mean? What is his relationship with the God Father?"

The Fate's Main God replied, "All you need to know is that Sun Wukong's background is extraordinary. In the eyes of the Heavenly Emperor, he holds as much importance as the sons of the Heavenly Emperor."

Upon hearing this, the pupils of the Hongmeng Great Emperor constricted and he fell silent.

"Roar——"

Sun Wukong was still howling furiously, his momentum vast and mighty. However, when his voice traveled thousands of miles away, ripples spread through space.

This was a barrier set by Pangu, to avoid alarming the Heavenly Emperor.

Sun Wukong's momentum continued to rise, far surpassing that of the Hongmeng Great Emperor.

Meanwhile.

Within Emperor Su's Sect.

Sun Qitian: So powerful, thank you Su Yie. Without you, how could I have had such an opportunity? From now on, whoever dares to harm you, I will fight with my life.

Demon Wolf Star: Yo, how strong are you now? Dare to fight with Guan Jingfu?

Sun Qitian: Not sure, but much stronger than the Hongmeng Divine Spirits.

Black Tiger Emperor: Brother, don't get carried away. There are two Hongmeng Divine Spirits in our sect.

Heaven-Breaking Emperor: Now that Guan Jingfu challenges our Emperor Su's Sect, you represent our sect in battle!

Tai Su Celestial Lord: Hmm?

Ren Wokuang: Congratulations Brother Su, another addition to your harem. novelbuddy.cσ๓

...

Far in the Ancient Wilderness, Su Yie also noticed the conversation within Emperor Su's Sect.

He wasn't concerned about Sun Wukong's increase in strength.

No matter how strong, it wouldn't resolve the current crisis.

Su Yie was already prepared to head to the origin.

He even planned to make a move in the identity of Emperor Su.

Although Guan Jingfu was strong, Abyss Evolution Great Emperor, Grand Emperor Kun, and others did not worry for Emperor Su's Sect.

This indicated that Guan Jingfu's strength did not exceed theirs.

Su Yie continued to study the rules of time within him.

About three days passed.

As the month approached, Su Yie set off.

He had Tai Su Celestial Lord send him to the edge of Hongmeng, and then he went alone from there.

"I should accompany you."

Tai Su Celestial Lord said, not reassured.

Su Yie waved his hands, smiled, and said, "Don't worry. With Emperor Su's protection, if you were with me, you might even hold me back."

He spoke his mind without fear of offending Tai Su Celestial Lord.

It wasn't that he lacked manners, but he had acknowledged Tai Su Celestial Lord as one of his mothers.

Only with the closest people does one not speak cautiously.

"You better go back, lest anything happens in Hongmeng."

With those words, Su Yie turned and flew resolutely towards the origin.

At each corner of Hongmeng, where darkness ends, there is an opening shining with white light.

Those are the exits of Hongmeng.

Outside Hongmeng lies the origin.

Once Su Yie flew out of Hongmeng, all he saw was endless whiteness. Apart from the spatial portal behind him, all he could see was white, no other colors, not even matter.

No wind, no Five Elements, no stars.

It was impossible to discern any direction in the origin.

Su Yie was about to call out to Guan Jingfu when he suddenly felt three presences behind him.

He turned his head and his eyebrows furrowed tightly.

It was Emperor Ming, Heaven-Bearing Emperor, and a white-robed elder.

Su Yie had never met Emperor Ming or the Heaven-Bearing Emperor, but Emperor Ming and the Heaven-Bearing Emperor had seen the Divine Chess of the Talented, and they recognized him at a glance.

Seeing him, Emperor Ming's face looked somewhat unnatural.

A trace of unusual color flashed through the eyes of the Heaven-Bearing Emperor as he clasped his hands and smiled, saying, "Big brother, it's been a long time. Have you awakened memories of your former life?"

Big brother?

Su Yie's eyebrows relaxed as he asked, "Are you Emperor Ming and the Heaven-Bearing Emperor?"

Among the children of the Heavenly Emperor, it was only Emperor Ming and the Heaven-Bearing Emperor whom he hadn't met.

As for the daughters of the Heavenly Emperor, apart from the Mistress of Fate, he hadn't met any, but he didn't concern himself with that.

The Heaven-Bearing Emperor nodded and smiled, "My name is Qin Bufu. Previously, my subordinates were short-sighted. Big brother, please don't take it to heart."

Su Yie waved his hand, saying, "You didn't pursue it, and I didn't remember it. Everyone has their destiny, and it's none of your concern."

After speaking, he looked towards Emperor Ming, saying, "Lord of the Heavenly Court?"

Emperor Ming showed a smile, saying, "Yes, big brother, long time no see. If I had known earlier that you were reincarnated, I should have visited you."

Su Yie smiled in return, though his smile appeared somewhat cold.

He turned his head to look at a white-robed elder Taoist and asked, "Who might this be?"

This white-robed elder Taoist smiled warmly at him, his smile benevolent and without a hint of hostility.

The white-robed elder Taoist smiled and said, "I am called Patriarch Bodhi."

Patriarch Bodhi?

Su Yie was taken aback and asked instinctively, "What is your relation with Sun Wukong?"

In Journey to the West, the great being who taught Sun Wukong his abilities was none other than Patriarch Bodhi.

The identity of Patriarch Bodhi was extremely mysterious; Journey to the West did not clearly explain it.

Some said he was Tathagata, some said he was Zhunti from the Investiture of the Gods, and some even said he was Hong Jun; opinions varied widely.

Patriarch Bodhi laughed and replied, "I once taught him."

The Heaven-Bearing Emperor then spoke, "In today's Hongmeng, many great beings are disciples of our master, and Victorious Fighting Buddha is among them."

That powerful?

Su Yie narrowed his eyes and asked, "So you are going to confront..."

He didn't say the name Guan Jingfu, as he didn't want to make an absolute statement.

Could Patriarch Bodhi be stronger than the Hongmeng Divine Spirits?

If that were truly the case, why hadn't he emerged earlier?

Patriarch Bodhi nodded, "I didn't want to get involved in the affairs of Hongmeng, but my two disciples insisted on asking me to come."

Saying this, he glanced at Emperor Ming and the Heaven-Bearing Emperor.

Su Yie asked, "Oh? So you aren't from Hongmeng?"

Before Patriarch Bodhi could respond, the Heaven-Bearing Emperor answered, "How could someone like our Master reside in Hongmeng? He opened his own realm, superior to both Hongmeng and the Origin."

Patriarch Bodhi glared at him, saying, "Enough, stop the nonsense. Let's go."

After speaking, he led the way forward.

As he passed by Su Yie, he patted him on the shoulder.

Seeing his demeanor made Su Yie wonder.

Did his former life have some relation with Patriarch Bodhi?

The old Taoist's attitude was too friendly, wasn't it?

Lacking the air of an elder or a powerful adept.

Su Yie followed them, curious to see just how powerful Patriarch Bodhi was.

If Patriarch Bodhi could resolve Guan Jingfu, then there was no need for him to act.

They flew for about an hour.

Suddenly, Patriarch Bodhi stopped.

The Heaven-Bearing Emperor asked, "Master, have we arrived?"

Patriarch Bodhi calmly replied, "Not yet, just distancing from Hongmeng to avoid unintended harm."

Then, changing his tone, he spoke softly, "Guan Jingfu, isn't it? Come out now."

He spoke so lightly that Su Yie thought Guan Jingfu was hiding nearby.

Not only him, but Emperor Ming and the Heaven-Bearing Emperor also became alert.

Although they trusted Patriarch Bodhi, they feared an unexpected occurrence.
