Wang Yang's face revealed a look of surprise and joy.
He hadn't expected that not long after his own breakthrough, Sun Wukong's insights into cultivation would cause another increase in his cultivation level.
This was much faster than cultivating on his own.
At that moment, the Nine-Turn Profound Art within him also began to spin continuously.
And within his Sea of Consciousness, countless clouds appeared, at the depths of which stood a giant towering between heaven and earth.
But everything was extremely ethereal, making it unclear to him.
Where this was, Wang Yang didn't know, but he could distinctly feel that from this place emanated an intense primordial aura.
"Could it be that Sun Wukong, by comprehending this world, thus cultivates any cultivation technique and Daoist techniques so rapidly?"
By now, Wang Yang had some speculations.
However, following a muffled sound, a powerful aura enveloped Wang Yang, and then he rapidly retreated, returning once again to the Daoist Temple.
It was as if nothing had happened.
But Wang Yang could still feel the terrifying aura from before.
"Hum!"
Late Stage Earth Immortal!
Feeling the remnant power, Wang Yang's realm broke through once again.
A stream of powerful spiritual energy circulated.
The spiritual energy within Three-Star Guan seemed to be drawn toward this force.
Boom!
Early Human Immortal stage!
In that moment, Sun Wukong broke through his shackles and reached the Early Human Immortal stage.
Nature's spiritual energy enveloped both Wang Yang and Sun Wukong at this moment, uncertain whether it was because of Wang Yang or Sun Wukong.
The spiritual energy of Slanting Moon Three Stars Cave changed dramatically, endless spiritual energy twisting and turning,, and yet, strangely, the source of this spiritual energy could not be seen through to where it ultimately went.
Countless cultivators practicing within were astonished and stepped out, looking at this scene with disbelief.
They had never witnessed such an event in the Slanting Moon Three Stars Cave for so many years.
Above the cave, a peculiar glow appeared, and this energy cloud continued to rotate.
It seemed as if some demons and monsters were brewing within it.
Some disciples with lower cultivation levels were shocked as they watched this spectacle.
"What is that?"
"Could it be that one of our senior brothers has broken through to Taiyi Golden Immortal?"
"Such grand movements are truly inconceivable!"
"Or could it be that some great demon has appeared in Western Cow Hezhou?"
"..."
One after another, the disciples gazed in shock at the countless clouds of spiritual energy churning overhead, which was somewhat terrifying.
It even seemed as if some demons and monsters were condensing within it.
But this was the place where their master was in charge; how could any great demon make an appearance here?
At that moment above the Nine Heavens, two figures stood upon the clouds.
One of the figures had a red complexion and horns atop his head, eyes wide with anger, and golden light flickering within his eyes as he looked down toward the lower realm.
The other had a green face and fangs, a pair of large ears that flapped in the wind, listening intently to the spiritual sounds from the lower realm.
The two were none other than the Patrol Envoys, Clairvoyance and Clairaudient.
"What is that!"
"Go report to His Majesty!"
Upon witnessing this scene, Clairvoyance and Clairaudient exchanged a glance and then quickly moved toward the Ninth celestial Palace.
At that moment, within the Ninth celestial Palace, the Haotian Jade Emperor was discussing affairs with various immortal clans.
"What's the matter, why such panic and disorder? This is unseemly!"
Before the two could speak, Pagoda-Carrying celestial King Li immediately let out a cold snort.
"Reporting to the celestial King, reporting to the Jade Emperor, in the lower realm... a mysterious phenomenon has appeared near Slanting Moon Three Stars Cave, we brothers came to report for fear that demons and monsters might emerge!"
Clairvoyance, watched by celestial King Li in such a manner, immediately began to stammer and, in a somewhat panicked manner, he spoke hurriedly.
"Demons and monsters emerging? Now that the nation is prosperous and the people are at peace, where would such demons come from!"
Pagoda-Carrying celestial King Li let out another cold snort.
"Oh, Clairvoyance, you just said it was near where?"
Upon hearing Clairvoyance's words, a flash of light passed through the Jade Emperor's eyes as he spoke calmly.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, it is near the lower realm's Slanting Moon Three Stars Cave!"
"Slanting Moon Three Stars Cave?"
After hearing this, the Jade Emperor slightly furrowed his brows, then muttered to himself as he waved his hand, "Alright, I understand!"
With that, the Jade Emperor waved his hand.
After hearing this, Clairvoyance and Clairaudient exchanged a glance. If it had been before, they probably would have already been ordered to capture the creature from the lower realm, yet it seemed to be let go just like that?
"Yes!"
But they dared not say more and respectfully took their leave.
The Slanting Moon Three Stars Cave is the abode of Patriarch Bodhi and Zhunti Good Corpse, obviously not a place where demons and monsters would appear.
This matter was known only to a few Saints, him, and Tathagata of the Western Direction; almost everyone else was unaware.
However, he was somewhat curious as to which demon dared cause trouble in a Saint's clone's dojo.
Then he began to make hand signs, feeling the power of heaven and earth, hoping to uncover what happened there.
But everything he sensed was shrouded in mist.
"The Journey to the West Calamity is approaching, all celestial secrets are obscured, impossible to investigate!"
The Haotian Jade Emperor slightly frowned and gave up on divining further.
"Your Majesty, shall I go to the lower realm and eliminate this demon?"
Just then, Pagoda-Carrying celestial King Li broke the silence and stepped forward, respectfully saying.
"No need, that's Western Buddhist Sect territory, they will naturally take care of it!"
The Jade Emperor waved his hand noncommittally.
After all, that was a Saint's territory, and they were naturally not suitable to interfere.
"Yes!"
Pagoda-Carrying celestial King Li nodded and said nothing more, given his special status.
Meanwhile, in the Western Direction.
Inside the Great Thunderclap Monastery on Mount Meru.
Tathagata sat meditatively on a Lotus Platform, a strong aura emanating from him.
With his strength, he naturally could not overlook the changes detected in Western Cow Hezhou, but even he dared not approach carelessly, as the aura was too peculiar.
Moreover, that was the dojo of Saint Zhunti's clone, so whatever happened, it was not his place to meddle.
So, he left it to the Saint to handle.
Not to mention these outsiders, even Patriarch Bodhi himself was somewhat shocked upon witnessing this scene of change.
The variations in the spiritual energy clearly indicated a transformation of realm, but it enveloped the entire Slanting Moon Three Stars Cave, and even Patriarch Bodhi could not discern the source.
"What exactly is happening!"
Patriarch Bodhi, holding a horsetail whisk, looked at the changes in the sky with knitted brows.
At this moment, the rich nature's spiritual energy continued unabated, as if it would not cease.
"Fellow Daoists, with the situation as it is, do you have any idea who is responsible?"
Patriarch Bodhi spoke, and with a flash of light from the horsetail whisk in his hand, two ethereal projections appeared in the void, the projections of the Two Saints of the West.
"Rest assured, Fellow Daoist, regardless of whether these changes are caused by those two or some other transformation, we two will not stand idly by. Should any mishaps occur, we will intervene!"
"In that case, I am relieved!"
Patriarch Bodhi breathed a sigh of relief.
