262: Chapter 184: Attacking the Netherworld 262: Chapter 184: Attacking the Netherworld They didn’t know that Great Emperor Ziwei’s heart was actually hanging by a thread too.
When Sun Wukong returned to Huaguo Mountain, he told everyone that the person who made the move was neither from the Spiritual Sectnor Lady Houtu; there was another force involved.
Therefore, they could still maintain their normal operations; there was no need to deliberately strike at them.
“Then who made the move?
Is there really an unknown force between heaven and earth?”
Ksitigarbha asked, somewhat surprised.
The others also realized that since it was not Lady Houtu and her followers who did it, there must be someone else.
Could there really be a force within the Three Realms unknown to all its beings?
Ksitigarbha’s face suddenly changed drastically.
Aside from him, the rest were somewhat bewildered.
No one knew who Shao Siming was, as they had never heard the name before.
But Ksitigarbha almost cried out in shock.
Because he knew all too well who Shao Siming was, having heard of her reputation.
Although he had never seen her in person, he was at the tail end of that era and knew what a terrifying existence she was.
“Is it really Shao Siming?”
Ksitigarbha’s voice trembled.
The others were puzzled; the Great Bodhisattva had a heart as firm as iron, and little could shake his resolve.
Yet now, he showed such a reaction, which was shocking.
“Who is Shao Siming?”
“The most ruthless under Tai Yi Eastern Emperor, with immense strength.
She’s only a step behind Tai Yi himself.
Without The Three Pure Ones and the Eastern Emperor, she alone can suppress the world.
Even the current Jade Emperor may not be stronger than Shao Siming,”
Ksitigarbha said anxiously.
The crowd swallowed hard.
Was she really that fierce?
“The main thing is that Shao Siming seldom fights unprepared.
If she has been hidden within the Three Realms until now, it only shows one thing: she has enough confidence to defy a siege by the Three Realms, meaning she must have accumulated a great power to resist being hunted down by the beings of the Three Realms,”
Ksitigarbha continued.
So fierce, and yet so cautious and rational.
Everyone was at a loss for words.
Compared to Kunpeng, Shao Siming was much more impressive.
Seeing everyone stunned, Sun Wukong snorted and said, “What’s there to be afraid of?
She was still chased away by Old Sun’s cudgel in the end.
Don’t worry, with Old Sun here, she won’t be allowed to cause trouble.”
Ksitigarbha gave Sun Wukong a glance, shook his head, and said, “You can’t do it, you’re no match for her.
Even Great Emperor Ziwei might not be able to defeat her now.
In the current Three Realms, there might only be five who can suppress Shao Siming.”
“The Three Pure Ones, the Jade Emperor, and the Eastern King.”
At this, Ksitigarbha pondered for a moment, then said, “Perhaps Goddess Nuwa too, but her whereabouts have long since been indiscernible, and she may not even be in the Three Realms anymore.”
“None of the others are a match for Shao Siming,”
Ksitigarbha said confidently.
Sun Wukong scoffed, “You don’t have to dampen your own spirit and boost hers.
Wait until Old Sun reaches the Great Heavenly Venerate realm; a mere Shao Siming will be a trifle.”
Ksitigarbha actually agreed with this point.
If Sun Wukong became a Great Heavenly Venerate, his combat power would soar to a terrifying extent.
Having the Immortal Body and being a natural Victorious Fighting Sage, it was indeed possible for him to match Shao Siming’s combat power.
“But you are still just a Heavenly Venerate now,”
Ksitigarbha said bluntly.
“However, if the Great Saint were to join forces with Great Emperor Ziwei, I presume Shao Siming would not be your match.
Although her strength is formidable, even she can’t withstand the combined assault of the powerful beings of the Three Realms.
Otherwise, she would have already appeared brazenly,”
Sun Wukong nodded slightly, agreeing with this point.
He might have the ambition to suppress Shao Siming, but he was not yet a Great Heavenly Venerate.
Moreover, there was still a long way to the Great Heavenly Venerate realm.
After learning about Shao Siming, everyone was deeply stunned.
They each went their own way, spreading the news of Shao Siming.
The Jade Emperor also received the news.
He was somewhat surprised and also a bit furious.
Having ruled the Three Realms for so many years, he believed there were no secrets in the Three Realms that could be kept from him.
Yet Shao Siming had been lurking in the Three Realms for so many years, and he did not know.
This was a slap in the face for the Jade Emperor.
It mainly gave him the sensation he was losing control, which he very much disliked.
After thinking it over, he issued an order, “Find Shao Siming.
I want to capture her myself.”
His brothers were all over the world, not just the ten Heavenly Venerates.
There were other brothers spread across the four continents.
If they wanted to deliberately search for the whereabouts of a person, it was not a difficult task.
But against Shao Siming, it was all up to fate.
With this in mind, the Jade Emperor stood up, ready to leave.
“Where is Your Majesty going?”
Lady Houtu appeared, asking with some confusion.
“I’m going for a walk in the mortal world.
Don’t worry about me,”
the Jade Emperor said, and then he hastened to the mortal world.
Now, the mortal world was celebrating the New Year, with white snow and laughter everywhere.
The Jade Emperor arrived at Guan River Mouth.
Thinking of the worthless disciples reminded him of Master Erlang, Yang Jian.
If his nephew could aid him, he could be at ease.
However, Master Erlang did not approve of his doings.
The Jade Emperor came today, hoping to see if he could persuade Yang Jian.
In Yang Mansion, the Jade Emperor directly passed through the gate.
Even though Master Erlang had laid down methods here, they couldn’t stop him,
