Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong

Chapter 1039 Strange Fish, Thunder Shark (First Update!)



The sect protection array of the Primordial Spirit Sect is indeed very strong, not inferior to the original protective array of the Demon Court, but who is Sun Wukong? What array barrier in this world can stop him?

Activating the Void-Breaking Moon Eyes, at the weakest point of the array barrier, he silently opened a tiny hole the size of a needle's eye. Sun Wukong shook and transformed into a wisp of green smoke, slipping through without anyone noticing.

"Such rich Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, this is several times stronger than the original Primordial Spirit Alliance!"

As soon as he entered the barrier of the sect protection array, Sun Wukong inhaled deeply, showing an expression of enjoyment. The density of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi within the Primordial Spirit Sect is almost approaching the Heavenly Que Realm!

Other major sects in the Three Cities and Four Sects, Sun Wukong had been to several, but none could compare to the Primordial Spirit Sect. Even the former Sky-shaking Cliff would likely not have such astonishing Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, would it?

It must be Mu Yin's handiwork after the Primordial Spirit Sect captured the Sky-shaking Cliff!

How did I not see that old guy hiding this deep back then?

Sun Wukong secretly mused to himself, maintaining his smoke-like form, flying towards the Sect of the Primordial Spirit Sect.

"Such strong oppression! There's a prohibition of flight here!"

Prohibition of flight is almost standard for major sects. After all, once one reaches the Yuan King level in the Yuan World, they can resist strong gravity and soar into the sky. No sect would want to see others flying around their sect premises—it looks quite unseemly and is detrimental to sect security. Therefore, most major powers set up prohibitions of flight in their sect premises.

Realizing this, Sun Wukong wasn't too surprised. He simply descended naturally, appearing to outsiders as just a wisp of smoke falling onto the surface of a large lake.

With Sun Wukong's current cultivation strength at the Domain Emperor level, forcibly resisting the prohibition of flight was possible, but that would quickly deplete his internal strength, which seemed unwise. It was better to preserve strength as much as possible. Who knows what might happen next, so be ready for a battle anytime!

After landing on the lake's surface, Sun Wukong smoothly transformed into a swimming fish, diving directly into the lake water.

"Hmm? This lake water..."

As soon as he dove into the lake, Sun Wukong sensed something was off. The water's temperature was incredibly low, to the point of being ice-cold!

With Sun Wukong's cultivation, even he almost couldn't withstand the cold upon entering the lake. The coldness in this water was likely greater than many treasures with ice cold attributes!

Driving the Primordial Divine Technique, divine core primordial force surged from Sun Wukong's divine core, enveloping his body in an imperceptible protective shield, isolating him from the lake water and its cold. Swishing his tail, he swam into the lake like a real fish.

Though the lake water was intensely cold, it wasn't devoid of fish and shrimp. Before long, Sun Wukong encountered a strange fish resembling a shark, with a sharp horn on its forehead. The horn faintly glimmered with thunder light, clearly indicating the fish carried the thunder attribute.

Upon encountering Sun Wukong, the strange fish immediately swished its tail, rushing towards him, opening its massive mouth, attempting to swallow Sun Wukong whole.

Sun Wukong, of course, wouldn't let it have its way. With a swish of his tail and a shift in his body, he avoided the strange fish's gigantic mouth, moved to its side, and suddenly enlarged his body, becoming several times larger than the big fish, striking the strange fish with his tail, sending it flying.

Having succeeded in one strike, Sun Wukong did not intend to pursue further. Transforming back to a smaller size, he swiftly swam away, for he did not come to contend with the creatures of the ice lake. The real task was to quickly reach the center of the lake to investigate the true residence of the Primordial Spirit Sect!

After being sent flying by Sun Wukong's tail, the strange fish was dazed. Once it regained its composure, Sun Wukong had already slipped away without a trace. Angrily, the strange fish's horn emitted a large amount of lightning, turning the hundred-zhang area around it into a world of lightning, causing the entire lake to churn violently.

"Strange, why did the Thunder Shark suddenly go berserk?"

The strange fish's behavior caught the attention of the disciples of the Primordial Spirit Sect. This strange fish, known as the Thunder Shark, was an extremely fierce monster, living only in extremely cold waters. Within its hunting range, it would shred any living creature to pieces and swallow them. Besides the Thunder Shark and several other fierce monsters, no other aquatic creatures dared to wander near them in this ice lake. An encounter usually spelled certain death.

Roughly three Thunder Sharks lived in this ice lake of the Primordial Spirit Sect, each reigning as a king of the lake, almost unchallenged. They were ferocious guardian beasts painstakingly brought by the Primordial Spirit Sect.

Besides the disciples of the Primordial Spirit Sect, who had special methods to cross the lake without traversing the water, anyone entering the Primordial Spirit Sect under the influence of the prohibition of flight had to cross the water, likely encountering the Thunder Shark.

The Thunder Shark's cultivation was only at the Domain King level, but possessing the advantage of its environment in the ice lake, its strength was comparable to a Domain Emperor. Meanwhile, others would be significantly weakened in the ice lake, as they had to divert some strength to resist the cold.

Never before had such a situation occurred, for since the Primordial Spirit Sect took over the former Sky-shaking Cliff, no one had ever caused a Thunder Shark to suffer a loss in the ice lake!

But now, it seemed that this Thunder Shark, storming in a thunderous rage, had clearly suffered at the hands of something.

Could it be that a strong person infiltrated the Primordial Spirit Sect? However, the array barrier of the sect protection array showed no signs of disturbance!

When Sect Master Mu Yin remodeled the sect protection array, he claimed that its defensive power was strong enough to rival the Demon Court and withstand successive attacks from strong beings of the Domain Saint Realm without issue. Its defense is highly formidable, and no matter who it is, touching the array barrier would notify the disciples of the Primordial Spirit Sect.

Yet today, while the sect protection array barrier remained intact with no sign of invasion, why did the Thunder Shark act so violently?

Truly puzzling!
