Monkey Sun Wreaks Havoc in West Ox Hezhou

"Then, Hongjun, do you think Sun Wukong will steal that treasure?" Taibai Jinxing asked worriedly. That Innate Spirit Stone was no ordinary item; if that monkey stole it, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"This monkey may be greedy, but he's not stupid. If he knew that I had that treasure in my possession, he would definitely hand it over obediently," Hongjun said. "Moreover, I also have a way to reshape that treasure and restore its quality."

"I see, that's good." Taibai Jinxing breathed a sigh of relief, then asked, "Hongjun, what should we do next?"

"Next, we have even more important things to do. It's not just about the monkey; there's also the havoc in the Heavenly Palace in West Ox Hezhou. That monkey is not someone to be trifled with. No matter what, he is a member of the Heavenly Court. If he is bullied, we will not stand idly by. We will not allow Sun Wukong to suffer any injustice, no matter the cost."

"Yes."

Taibai Jinxing agreed. He knew that once his Sage Hongjun had made up his mind about something, it was impossible to change it, so he didn't ask any more questions and simply nodded, "Hongjun, in that case, I will take my leave."

Hongjun waved his hand, signaling Taibai Jinxing to leave.

Watching Taibai Jinxing disappear into the distance, Hongjun smiled and said, "Monkey, monkey, I'd like to see just how capable you are, and whether you can impress me."

After Sun Wukong left the Heavenly Court, he began to search aimlessly for traces of the Demon Race, but he was soon disappointed.

During his time in Heavenly Court, although he had found many Human Race believers, those Human Race believers were too weak, and many of them were even killed by Sun Wukong, so he was unable to encounter any of them.

"Sigh, there's nothing I can do. I came in such a hurry this time that I have no idea where they are." Sun Wukong scratched his head in frustration.

Soon after, Sun Wukong saw a sea.

Many sea monsters live in this sea area, some of which have grown to more than ten meters tall, with thick bodies and wings that can be three to five meters wide when spread out.

"Haha, these water monsters don't look so bad." Sun Wukong laughed twice, then jumped into the water.

Although these water monsters were enormous, they were no match for Sun Wukong. In no time at all, Sun Wukong had killed them all and gained many benefits.

Sun Wukong returned laden with spoils, but just then, he discovered something: he was hungry.

"Oh no, how could I forget to eat? No, I have to hurry back and sort things out here before I go find Sister Chang'e," Sun Wukong thought to himself.

"We're still a long way from Yaochi, and now that I'm moving much slower, it'll probably take a long time. No, I have to hurry so I can reach Yaochi sooner and meet up with Sister Chang'e." With that thought, Sun Wukong sped off into the distance.

After leaving the Heavenly Court, Sun Wukong flew towards West Ox Hezhou as Taibai Jinxing had instructed.

On this day, he flew westward.

As he sped along, he discovered that there were many islands floating on the sea surface of West Ox Hezhou. There were more than a dozen of these islands, each with a unique appearance and looking very beautiful. However, each island was covered with a thin layer of ice, and the ice was covered with icicles.

Upon seeing this, Sun Wukong's eyes lit up, and he instantly landed on one of the islands.

"Huh, this is Icebound Island. Could it be that Sister Chang'e is on that island?" Sun Wukong looked at the island, his eyes gleaming. With a swift movement, he flew up to it.

"Boom!!"

The moment Sun Wukong leaped onto the Icebound Island, the entire island shook violently, and then a terrifying pressure instantly spread out from the island.

"This power is far stronger than that of the Sage back then. Who on earth dares to display saintly might here?"

Sun Wukong was enveloped by this terrifying pressure and immediately felt a great sense of crisis.

"Whoosh!!"

However, he quickly realized what was happening, and with a swift movement, he retreated rapidly.

Just as he retreated, the entire island exploded instantly, and a gigantic hand appeared out of thin air, slamming down on him. This palm strike pierced through the void, creating a huge crack in the air.

"Amazing!!"

Sun Wukong was startled, his expression changed drastically, and he quickly dodged while simultaneously wielding his Jingu Bang and smashing it fiercely into the void.

With a sweep of the staff, a dark staff shadow appeared in the void, colliding directly with the palm strike, producing a deafening roar. Immediately afterward, the giant palm in the void shattered and vanished without a trace.

"Hmph, you actually think you can catch me? But I'm not someone to be trifled with. If you try to catch me again, I'll wipe you out and make sure you never rise again." Sun Wukong sneered and flew towards the Icebound Island ahead once more.

However, this time, his speed was much slower than before.

"It turns out that such a powerful cultivator is hidden on this Icebound Island. It seems I underestimated them."

Sun Wukong thought to himself that after he flew to the Icebound Island, he found that apart from the mountain peaks, there were no other buildings on the island, which made him feel very strange.

A thought suddenly struck him, and a smile appeared on his face, "I remember now, when I was with Taibai Jinxing, I seemed to hear him mention something about this place, something like 'The Frozen Ice Cavern'?"

"I've heard of the Frozen Ice Cavern before. It's said to be the deepest part of the North Sea in West Ox Hezhou, a ten-thousand-year-old ice cave. It's said that there's a thousand-year-old ice lotus inside, containing the power of countless ice crystals. Only those who have reached the Sage Realm can devour this ice lotus."

"That's right, it's this Icebound Island. I stumbled upon this place because I was looking for an Ice Lotus."

Thinking of this, a burning desire welled up in Sun Wukong's eyes.

"This ice lotus is a thousand-year-old ice lotus, an extremely precious item. I'm currently just a minor demon. If I could obtain this ice lotus, wouldn't I have a chance to break through to the Sage Realm?"

Even though my cultivation has reached the Middle Daluo Golden Immortal, I can only barely consume one thousand-year-old ice lotus. Reaching the Sage Realm is absolutely impossible.
