Chapter 1034: Mu Yin's Forbearance (3rd Update!)
Ever since he summoned the External Incarnation, this was the first time it couldn't withstand the pressure and collapsed while cultivating. Sun Wukong, no matter how unwilling, could only pause for now.
Currently, half of his body was filled with Chaos Primordial Force, and the other half with Mixed Primordial Force. The Mixed Primordial Force was clearly far stronger than the Chaos Primordial Force, forcing the Chaos Primordial Force into various corners of his body, occupying the Dantian, making it extremely difficult for Sun Wukong to invoke the Chaos Primordial Force.
It seems that before completely transforming the Primordial Force within his body, he can't enter the checkpoint space of the Heavenly Emperor's Treasure Vault to cultivate!
But this might be for the best. Although battles could rapidly increase Sun Wukong's strength, he couldn't fight endlessly. Sometimes it's necessary to pause and relax, lest this rubber band stretches too tight and snaps!
Descending from the Heavenly Emperor's throne, Sun Wukong stretched his limbs, and a thought suddenly crossed his mind. Since for the next three days, he couldn't summon the External Incarnation, and everyone was in seclusion training, staying alone in the Heavenly Que Realm was incredibly boring!
Why not go out for a walk and inquire about the outside world?
The moment Sun Wukong had this thought, he couldn't contain it. With a change in mind, his figure vanished within the Heavenly Que Realm, appearing in the Tianlan Mountain Range.
The Demon Court Sect had been completely leveled, leaving only a massive, deep crater. Sun Wukong emerged from the original entrance, and despite having seen it in the water mirror before, being present here flooded his mind with a surge of anger.
Undying Heavenly Demon Clan, I, Old Sun, are irreconcilable with you!
Just wait, when I, Old Sun, ascend to the Domain Saint Realm, I will invade the Undying Demon Domain and utterly shatter your undying reputation!
Taking a deep breath to suppress the anger, Sun Wukong rode a cloud towards the nearest city.
...
Two days later.
In a restaurant in the prefecture government of Nanxiang Prefecture, Sun Wukong ordered a table filled with dishes and ate leisurely.
Over the past two days, Sun Wukong wandered through various parts of the Eastern Continent and had come to understand the current situation there.
The five Domain Saint Realm Elders of the Heavenly Demon Judgment Team couldn't find their Demon Court individuals anywhere in the Eastern Continent. With limited time, they could only reluctantly return to the Undying Demon Domain. The Heavenly Prince was also summoned back to Heavenly Demon City by the Undying Heavenly Demon Emperor, reportedly punished with a hundred-year confinement during which he was forbidden from stepping outside.
The Sky-shaking Cliff's reputation plummeted due to failed consecutive attacks on the Demon Court. The Primordial Spirit Alliance seized the opportunity to attack and topple the sect's base, annihilating it. The Primordial Spirit Alliance in the Eastern Continent then renamed itself the Primordial Spirit Sect and moved its base to the sect's location on the Sky-shaking Cliff.
This was perhaps the most explosive news Sun Wukong heard in the past two days. Hadn't the Primordial Spirit Alliance never intervened in Yuan Realm conflicts? Why suddenly launch an assault on the Sky-shaking Cliff, supplanting it as one of the seven major forces in the Eastern Continent?
The principle of the Primordial Spirit Alliance was something Mu Yin, the Great Hall Master of the Primordial Spirit Alliance in the Eastern Continent, personally told Sun Wukong. Yet this time, the alliance's actions starkly contradicted their usual principles, piquing Sun Wukong's curiosity.
This curiosity prompted him to visit the original Sky-shaking Cliff, now the Nanxiang Prefecture Government, where the Primordial Spirit Sect was located. After all, in a way, Sun Wukong also counted as a member of the original Primordial Spirit Alliance.
Now that the Primordial Spirit Alliance in the Eastern Continent became the Primordial Spirit Sect, did his identity as a member still hold?
Sun Wukong wanted to personally hear an explanation from Mu Yin, now the Sect Master of the Primordial Spirit Sect!
Of course, Sun Wukong possessed two distinctly different Primordial Forces within him, Chaos Primordial Force and Mixed Primordial Force coexisting, hindering him from fully mobilizing his internal strength. Thus, he wanted to keep his identity secret by using The Way of Transformation to alter his appearance, transforming into a lean man's visage. After a hearty meal at the restaurant, he planned to head to the Primordial Spirit Sect.
"Have you heard? Sect Master Mu Yin of the Primordial Spirit Sect is hosting a Hero Assembly, inviting powerful figures from all major forces in the Eastern Continent to the Primordial Spirit Sect!"
"You've heard this news too? I thought I misheard! What do you suppose Mu Yin is planning?"
"Who knows? If you ask me, Mu Yin must be scheming something! Think about it, the Primordial Spirit Alliance always maintained a transcendental stance, never meddling in the Yuan Realm's strife. Externally, Mu Yin only revealed the strength of a Domain Marshal, who would have thought he actually possessed the cultivation of a Domain Saint Realm, previously hiding his strength?"
"In my opinion, Mu Yin's ambitions are absolutely significant. Perhaps he aims to unify the entire Eastern Continent and ascend to the throne as the Supreme in the Yuan Realm!"
"Supreme of the Yuan Realm? Impossible! There are other Domain Saint Realm powerhouses besides him in the Yuan Realm. Which major force doesn't have a Domain Saint Realm powerhouse sitting in command? He's dreaming if he thinks he can become the Supreme of the Yuan Realm just by himself!"
"That may not be the case! Who knows what other hidden cards Mu Yin has? For years, the Primordial Spirit Alliance remained silent, finally bursting with power enough to shock the world. When they decimated the Sky-shaking Cliff, the two Domain Saint Realm powerhouses of the Huangfu Clan residing on the Sky-shaking Cliff fell into his hands!"
...
The restaurant is undoubtedly the best place for gathering information, an eternal ironclad rule. Sun Wukong initially hadn't thought about collecting information, only wanting to enjoy a quiet meal before proceeding to the Primordial Spirit Sect.
Yet, even though he didn't actively seek out information, the chatter among patrons around him naturally found its way into his ears.
Sun Wukong frowned slightly. According to these patrons' accounts, Mu Yin was an extremely adept person at concealing himself, deceptively portraying himself as having a Domain Marshal cultivation while being an actual Domain Saint Realm powerhouse, patiently serving as a small Great Hall Master within the Primordial Spirit Alliance in the Eastern Continent for many years before finally exploding into prominence. Such a character, such tolerance, indeed makes one shudder!
Honestly, Sun Wukong had encountered countless people, yet during his previous interactions with Mu Yin, he hadn't sensed any anomaly, not even his Void-Breaking Moon Eyes could detect Mu Yin concealing his cultivation. Thus, this news caught him off guard!
Three days later would be the date for Mu Yin's Hero Assembly; whatever Mu Yin had planned, it seemed it wouldn't bode well for the Demon Court. Sun Wukong squinted his eyes in thought for a while, deciding to attend, to see what scheme Mu Yin was cooking!
However, before that, he needed to resolve the issue of the two types of Primordial Forces within him. Otherwise, if things turned dire and he couldn't use his full strength, it would spell trouble!
