While Sun Wukong was lost in thought, a middle-aged man clad in a golden yellow dragon robe appeared before him. The moment he laid eyes on the man, Sun Wukong nearly knelt down uncontrollably. What dominance and majesty this was! Wukong had thought Donghuang Taiyi was already very dignified, but upon seeing Di Jun, he suddenly understood what a natural-born king was!
Although Di Jun always seemed to be smiling, Sun Wukong didn't dare to take him lightly. Even though he didn't perform the kneeling salute, he still bowed in a gesture of respect from a junior.
However, while Sun Wukong was astounded by Di Jun's aura, he failed to notice that Xi Zhao, though surprised, showed no panic at all. Upon seeing the Nine Patterns Supreme of the Demon Clan, Di Jun, he merely clasped his hands together in greeting.
