Chapter 1482 - 77: The Saint Prince’s Wrath
Great Saint Mountain, an ancient peak.
Unlike the bleak wind and snow outside, this is the highest level Secret Realm of the Great Ape Mountain Sacred Land. The "Supreme Cave Heaven" left by Great Ape Mountain a thousand years ago, extends outward for a full hundred miles, with spring-like seasons and dragon-like ridges.
High mountains and flowing water, with continuous sounds of the zither.
Two elders are drinking together.
Suddenly, a loud noise, a rumbling sound comes from the Heavenly Peak.
The Saint Prince, wielding the Spirit Sun Rod, descends from the sky and lands on this ancient peak.
Thud!
With just one strike, it shakes the entire ancient peak tremulously.
"Holy Prince."
One elder in a red robe, another in a black robe, remained calm and unshaken by this astonishing scene.
The red-robed elder took the initiative to speak, put down his wine cup, and asked with a smile, "What is His Highness doing?"
The Saint Prince atop the ancient peak.
Clad in golden armor, with a somber expression, silently staring at the two elders.
This long gaze.
Who wouldn’t feel uneasy in their hearts?
"Don’t you have any idea why I’ve come?"
The Saint Prince lowered his voice coldly, "Mountain Shifting, Sea Overturning, who allowed you to issue Great Ape Mountain’s birthday invitations?"
"..."
The ancient peak fell silent.
The two elders stood up, each flicking their sleeves, dismissing their subordinates.
They were "old ministers" of Great Ape Mountain, having followed the Holy Emperor in battles for many years, glimpsed through their titles.
Mountain Shifting. Sea Overturning.
These are the two "Divine Skills" that the Holy Emperor is most proud of!
These two old apes, each mastered one, and used it as their honorific title.
Unlike the Primordial Saint.
Although they borrowed the profound Qi Fortune of Great Ape Mountain to reach the Realm of Yang God Venerable, they had no restrictions from the Divine Soul, no Life Oath constraints, and were not obliged to guard the mountain gate for the Holy Emperor.
"Holy Prince."
The red-robed Mountain Shifting Venerable folded his hands behind his back and said frowning, "According to the old rules of Great Ape Mountain, is there something wrong with issuing the birthday invitations?"
"A grand three-hundred-year birthday celebration, what an honor."
Sea Overturning Venerable smiled in agreement, "The great river flows east, washing away turbulent waves. Among the heroes of yesteryears, how many remain to compete with His Majesty the Holy Emperor? The Zen Master is dead, Xiao Yaozi has vanished without a trace, Zhao Chunyang is basically confirmed dead. Across the world, only the Great Palace Master of Heavenly Phoenix Palace can match him. Isn’t this joyous occasion worth celebrating, Your Highness?"
Speaking while.
Picking up the wine cup, ready to drink this fine wine to the fullest.
Clang!
A burst of golden light shot out.
The Saint Prince struck in anger, shattering the wine cup with one move, the Spirit Sun Rod transforming into golden light before swiftly retracting.
Grasping the long rod tightly, he said in a low voice, "Father entrusted you two because he trusted you, handing over the mundane affairs of Great Saint Mountain for you to manage... Now, the Demon Country is in a tumultuous season, the verdict on the Sun Eater Great Marsh Lord is still undecided, and Heavenly Phoenix Palace remains covetous. Father is in seclusion and cultivates arduously, Great Ape Mountain should act low-key. Do you truly believe such a grand birthday celebration is appropriate?"
"..."
Silence.
The ancient peak summit fell into long silence.
The two old ape Great Demons exchanged glances, neither speaking.
"Holy Prince, why such great anger?"
Sea Overturning Venerable waved his sleeve, brushing away the shards of wine cup from the ground, saying indifferently, "His Majesty’s mighty power is witnessed by heaven and earth, Heavenly Phoenix Palace is but a group of petty ones, hardly worthy of fear... This birthday celebration is done by the rules. Fifty years earlier, His Majesty mentioned that if he could cultivate to three hundred years, this celebration must be grand and illustrious, making all heroes and warriors bow in reverence. We are merely acting upon His Majesty’s instructions."
Upon hearing this, the Saint Prince was left speechless.
"In that case..."
He could only stare at the two Venerables.
"Why didn’t you report to me first after sending out the birthday invitations?"
The Holy Emperor is in seclusion.
As the Holy Prince, he should be the supreme leader of Great Ape Mountain. Especially after promoting to the Yang God Realm, the Saint Prince displayed overwhelming combat power, sweeping through the Demon Country Sacred Land, even the Great Divine Ability Users with decades of cultivation were no match for him.
Indeed.
The next "Holy Emperor" of Great Ape Mountain would be him to inherit.
"Your Highness, we are just following protocol."
Mountain Shifting Venerable said expressionlessly, "Such trivial matters can be settled internally within Great Saint Mountain. Your Highness battles day and night outside. If even such minor things require your attention, how can you manage the vast Great Ape Mountain? Furthermore, the birthday banquet was initially His Majesty’s original intention, we merely sought a simple consensus within Great Saint Mountain before sending out the invitations."
"Crack, crack!"
Grasping the Spirit Sun Rod, the Saint Prince’s expression was extremely grim.
Although the Northern Border Great Wall of Great Chu is at rest, recently there have been some movements. He went to investigate briefly, only to discover the matter of the "birthday invitation"... A emergency meeting was held internally within Great Saint Mountain, where all elders voted, and it was a struggle without suspense. Every venerated person within Great Saint Mountain agreed to send out birthday invitations.
Where could those opponents find dissenting votes?
Staring at Mountain Shifting and Sea Overturning, scrutinizing for a moment.
The Saint Prince said no more.
He knew that some things, once started, cannot be reversed.
This is not an accident.
But a long-planned conspiracy.
...
...
"Bang!"
The Saint Prince thrust the Spirit Sun Rod heavily on the ground, sparking a fierce blaze—
A massive White Ape slowly opened its eyes, awakening from a "long sleep."
Primordial Saint stood up.
The entire Great Saint Mountain pass shook.
He was very tired, his face full of frost and wind, his body covered with a large amount of dust and bloodstains.
"Where have you been?"
The Saint Prince frowned at the massive White Ape before him.
Primordial Saint is the "Mountain Spirit" of Great Ape Mountain, usually only doing one thing, which is guarding Great Saint Mountain. This Great Saint Mountain pass suppresses the profound Qi Fortune of Great Ape Mountain... Only under very few special circumstances would Primordial Saint leave here.
