Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong

"Strange, why is there nothing? Impossible! A thunderstorm circle this vast, how could there not be a single person?"

Mu Yin's Divine Sense carefully swept through the entire desert, without any findings. After experiencing that thunderstorm circle, no life remained in the desert. Even the original inhabitants of the desert either fled far away or were reduced to dust by lightning strikes.

No trace of the person who caused the thunderstorm circle was discovered, leaving Mu Yin puzzled. Could it be he was mistaken? Was this thunderstorm circle not man-made but a natural phenomenon?

However, this is a desert area, not a place abundant in Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, so how could such a large-scale thunderstorm occur? It doesn't make sense!

After thoroughly investigating several times, ensuring no one was hiding in the desert, and even checking the area hundreds of miles outside the desert, Mu Yin still found nothing and could only return filled with doubt.

"I hope this is just my imagination! Tomorrow's gathering of warriors is the top priority! I've plotted for so many years, nothing can go wrong!"

With repeated investigations yielding no results, Mu Yin gave up, soaring into the sky towards the direction of Primordial Spirit Sect.

Meanwhile, Sun Wukong had already returned to the prefecture government of Southern Xiang Prefecture and again found a tavern where he ordered food and wine, drinking alone.

Compared to a few days ago, the experts in Southern Xiang Prefecture's government were noticeably more abundant. Even in this tavern, several groups of people were seated, with the highest cultivation being in the Domain Emperor Realm, and not just one. It seemed because of Primordial Spirit Sect's gathering of warriors, experts from various major forces across the Eastern Continent, including those wandering warriors, all gathered in the prefecture government.

What does Primordial Spirit Sect want by gathering so many experts? Or is it that Mu Yin organized this gathering of warriors with some other intention? Does he intend to unify the Eastern Continent? Such ambition is quite grand, indeed!

"Have you heard? This time, all forces received an invitation from Primordial Spirit Sect, even those unattached experts not part of any force were invited too!"

"Of course, I've heard! Our Heavenly Dao Sect received an invitation, and the Deputy Sect Master brought all the experts from the sect. You know, our Deputy Sect Master is a Domain Saint Realm expert and hasn't left the mountain gate for many years, yet this time he accepted the invitation from Primordial Spirit Sect. Something major is definitely happening!"

"I didn't realize you were an expert from Heavenly Dao Sect, much respect! I am Ying Feng from East Barbarian City, a pleasure to meet you! Speaking of which, our Great Elder from East Barbarian City also left the mountain, which is the first time in thousands of years!"

"I am from the Blood Fervor Sect..."

Experts from various sects and cities all introduced themselves, primarily from the Seven Major Forces of the Three Cities and Four Sects, and besides Primordial Spirit Sect, the Domain Saint Realms from the other six forces all came to the prefecture government of Southern Xiang for the gathering of warriors tomorrow.

The purpose of this gathering has incited much speculation among the disciples of these major forces, but none could offer a definitive answer. The tavern was abuzz with energy, as experts from various factions engaged in lively discussions, all speculating on the true purpose of the gathering of warriors, yet opinions varied widely.

Sun Wukong, listening for a while, lost interest. Regardless of the faction, none of the true Domain Saint Realm experts appeared in this tavern; they merely sent their disciples to gather information. Clearly, it was impossible to hear anything truly useful from these people.

In short, the fact that Mu Yin, the Sect Master of Primordial Spirit Sect, organized this gathering of warriors suggests great ambitions. Otherwise, it wouldn't have attracted so many experts!

"I, Old Sun, am genuinely getting more and more intrigued. With so many experts gathered, it certainly won't be as simple as it seems on the surface. Mu Yin has probably already informed the upper echelons of various forces. Heh, interesting, truly interesting!"

Paying for the wine, Sun Wukong glanced at the experts still enthusiastically discussing in the tavern, smiled faintly, left the tavern, and went straight away from the prefecture government of Southern Xiang, heading towards the original Sky-shaking Cliff of the now Primordial Spirit Sect.

The matter of the gathering of warriors was getting more interesting, and Sun Wukong was certain there was a significant plot behind it. He needed to sneak into Primordial Spirit Sect to investigate first; otherwise, waiting until the gathering officially began might be too late.

The sect of Primordial Spirit Sect is situated three hundred miles west of the prefecture government of Southern Xiang in a Cave Heaven and Blessed Land surrounded by a cluster of peaks. Unlike other sects, its terrain is unique, surrounded by peaks on all sides, with a large lake in the center. In the middle of the lake are two ring mountain cliffs, with the outer cliff wall already quite high, and the inner cliff wall reaching into the clouds.

The original Sky-shaking Cliff was where the sect was built, and the current Primordial Spirit Sect likewise renovated and modified it on the original site.

As soon as Sun Wukong stepped into the cluster of peaks, his expression turned serious. The Void-Breaking Moon Eyes had already become a constant state for him, used anytime and anywhere, so just upon reaching the outer area of the peaks surrounding Primordial Spirit Sect, he sensed the presence of an extremely powerful Great Formation,

This Great Formation was modified and reinforced from a Natural Formation, and in terms of power, it was not inferior to the Sect Protection Array of the Demon Court. Sun Wukong could tell there seemed to be some elements of the Demon Court's Sect Protection Array in it.

"Could it be that the Great Formation of Primordial Spirit Sect was rebuilt using the Demon Court's Sect Protection Array for reference?"

The re-establishment of this Great Formation couldn't have been long ago. Through the Void-Breaking Moon Eyes, Sun Wukong noticed that the positions of the peaks had human-made alterations, with obvious traces showing the modifications weren't long ago.

Most likely, it was after the Eastern Continent's Primordial Spirit Alliance occupied the sect on Sky-shaking Cliff and made changes afterward!

"That Mu Yin hides deeply, not only concealing his cultivation but also his attainments in the way of Formation! An old fox, indeed!"

Sun Wukong had nearly a full certainty that this new Great Formation of Primordial Spirit Sect was created by Sect Master Mu Yin. Judging by the technique, it was no less than that of the Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor and possibly even more ingenious.

Sun Wukong couldn't understand, with such profound cultivation and formidable attainments in Formation, why did Mu Yin remain a mere Great Hall Master of a small division of the Eastern Continent in the Primordial Spirit Alliance?

To not mention anything else, having cultivation at the Domain Saint Realm was already enough to establish a significant force!

Nevertheless, now with Primordial Spirit Sect seizing the foundation of Sky-shaking Cliff and Mu Yin modifying the Sect Protection Array, its power increased significantly. In terms of pure defensive capability, perhaps only the Demon Court's Heavenly Que Realm could surpass it.
