Chapter 1331: Chapter 476: Demonic Nature Side
The Ancestral Dragon also scrutinized the Supreme Ancestral Demon, as if recalling something.
“Supreme Ancestral Demon, what is your real relationship with Lord Taishang? At the beginning of time, I thought you were enemies, but now it seems, perhaps the truth isn’t as I imagined.”
The Ancestral Dragon’s question drew everyone’s attention.
Sun Wukong also gazed at the Supreme Ancestral Demon, lost in thought.
“In the presence of the Demon Ancestor, I feel an aura similar to Lord Taishang’s. Although distinctly different, it gives a sense of a shared origin. Could it be that the Demon Ancestor and Lord Taishang are the same person, one Daoist Ancestor, one Demon Ancestor? If this is true, it would surely shock the Immortals and Buddhas across the Three Realms.”
Faced with both questions, the Supreme Ancestral Demon smiled faintly and said, “Indeed, there is a relationship between me and the Elder Lord, we can be considered two sides of the same coin. He represents the Daoist Nature, while I embody the Demonic Nature.”
These words left everyone astonished.
The dignified Lord Taishang surprisingly has a demonic side.
Moreover, this demonic side has also achieved the Creation Realm.
If this news spread, it would definitely overturn the understanding of Immortals and Buddhas across the Three Realms.
“So it is.”
Sun Wukong felt a sudden realization.
He wasn’t mistaken; the Supreme Ancestral Demon does relate to Lord Taishang.
Not only that, but he is indeed another side of Lord Taishang.
One is the Daoist Nature, and the other is the Demonic Nature.
He is the demonic side, no wonder he’s called the Supreme Ancestral Demon.
Even Ancestral Dragon couldn’t help but gasp and then remarked, “This is truly astonishing. If those friends from the Primordial time knew this, they would be utterly shocked.”
The Supreme Ancestral Demon wore a smile, but it carried a hint of wickedness.
“There is nothing much to be surprised about, the Elder Lord is the Elder Lord, and I am myself. Although we were once one, we are now nearly two separate entities, merely maintaining a slight connection. What he thinks, I don’t know, and what I think, he isn’t aware of, that’s all.”
“You’ve become separate entities just like Tian Hao?” Sun Wukong asked in surprise.
The Supreme Ancestral Demon sneered contemptuously, “What is Tian Hao? He’s merely an incarnation, while the Elder Lord and I are both the original form, with no distinction between the main body and the incarnation.”
At this point, the Supreme Ancestral Demon revealed another startling piece of news.
“The Elder Lord wants to merge with me, then fuse our Creation Realm Dao Fruits to break through the shackles of the Creation Realm. I am considering whether to sever that slight connection with him because I feel this matter is unreliable, with a ten out of ten chance it won’t succeed. He is too impatient and might end up killing himself.”
Sun Wukong and the others exchanged glances; it was unexpected that Lord Taishang wants to break through the Creation Realm.
They have no knowledge about the Creation Realm, and what’s beyond it is unclear to anyone.
Seeing Sun Wukong and others confused, the Supreme Ancestral Demon understood that they didn’t know what this meant.
“There used to be a stone monkey called Supreme Treasure in the strongest realm, his strength was formidable, even more so that even after the Elder Lord and I fused, we might not surpass him. He was undoubtedly the number one in the strongest realm at that time. However, in attempting to break through the Creation Realm, he narrowly survived, facing death almost nine times.”
Sun Wukong knew of Supreme Treasure, aware of his formidable strength.
Upon hearing of his failure, Sun Wukong immediately understood how challenging it was to break through the Creation Realm.
The Ancestral Dragon, though uncertain, believed the title of the strongest realm’s number one was proof enough by itself.
Additionally, the Supreme Ancestral Demon mentioned that even after fusing with Lord Taishang, they may not be stronger than that Supreme Treasure.
“Great Saint is also a stone monkey, could it be that he is a descendant of that Supreme Treasure?” Ancestral Dragon suddenly asked.
Sun Wukong hesitated for a moment, then fixed his gaze on the Supreme Ancestral Demon and asked, “I’m naturally not a descendant of Supreme Treasure, but my origins puzzle me. Is there some unseen hand arranging all this?”
The Supreme Ancestral Demon shook his head, saying, “I don’t know. Anyway, I can’t detect such a thing. If anyone could conceal something from my detection throughout history, there is only one.”
“Supreme Treasure himself,” Ancestral Dragon added.
“I have seen the resentment of Supreme Treasure. Perhaps it’s not him, as he indeed perished when attempting the strongest realm,” Sun Wukong said.
The Supreme Ancestral Demon’s entire body trembled upon hearing about the resentment of Supreme Treasure. He questioned in detail.
After Sun Wukong finished recounting, the Supreme Ancestral Demon pondered and said, “Do you remember the last person who targeted Haotian God?”
“That arm?” Sun Wukong had a stirring doubt in his heart.
The Supreme Ancestral Demon nodded and said, “Do you think he is Supreme Treasure?”
Sun Wukong frowned, unable to be certain.
The aura was unfamiliar, differing from the one he sensed from Supreme Treasure.
However, for a powerful figure like that to hide their aura wouldn’t be difficult.
“You’re saying Supreme Treasure has resurrected, or perhaps he was never truly dead,” Sun Wukong questioned.
“If he is alive, and you want to know your origins, you can ask him. If even Supreme Treasure doesn’t know, then your appearance was simply a coincidence,” the Supreme Ancestral Demon nodded.
Sun Wukong clasped his hands in gratitude towards the Supreme Ancestral Demon, “Thank you for your guidance, Supreme Ancestral Demon.”
“No need to be polite. I actually have quite a favorable impression of you. Whatever you wish to know, I will tell you. I’m not like Lord Taishang and his clandestine ways,” the Supreme Ancestral Demon chuckled.
This was something Sun Wukong and the others had already sensed, the Supreme Ancestral Demon and Lord Taishang were indeed different.
Relatively speaking, the Supreme Ancestral Demon was candid, saying whatever was on his mind, acting on impulse.
Lord Taishang, however, wasn’t like that, saying nothing, secretly observing everything while coordinating everything behind the scenes.
There was a stark contrast between the two.
Everyone chuckled, finding the Supreme Ancestral Demon quite relatable.
“Alright, having finished discussing matters, Wukong, will you escort me to the Heavenly Court? Now that Zibaiqing has also reached the Creation Realm, if those two join forces, the Heavenly Court might be in danger. My presence in the Heavenly Court can ensure its safety.”
Sun Wukong was slightly taken aback and also a bit puzzled, wondering why the Supreme Ancestral Demon didn’t head to the Heavenly Court himself and instead asked him to do it.
“You trust me, so Ziwei will trust me. If I went there rashly, Ziwei would be full of suspicion towards me, not believing in me,” the Supreme Ancestral Demon said solemnly with a hint of helplessness.
Sun Wukong then realized the Supreme Ancestral Demon’s intention in seeking him out was to gain the trust of the Great Emperor Ziwei.
“I can assure you, I am far more reliable than Lord Taishang. With me overseeing the Heavenly Court, the Heavenly Court will be safe, and I have no intentions of controlling all beings,” the Supreme Ancestral Demon continued.
His path of the Demon Dao was one of spontaneity, freedom, and seeking his own carefree nature, genuinely indifferent to everything else.
The Ancestral Dragon nodded and said, “I can attest to that. The Supreme Ancestral Demon, except for having an inclination to slay Supremes, has no interest in anything else.”
“The Supremes I slay are all those with heinous crimes, deserving of death,” the Supreme Ancestral Demon smiled faintly, unfazed by any wrongdoing.
