Chapter 51: Attending the Banquet at Accumulated Thunder Mountain (Part 1)

  After bidding farewell to Xiang Ya, Lei Hao and Wu Lei continued to wander around Dongsheng Divine State.

  On this day, Lei Hao was driving a cloud-colored car, admiring a magnificent waterfall in the sky. Suddenly, Sun Wukong's voice came to his ears, and he stopped talking, focusing on listening to what Sun Wukong had to say.

  "Hubby? What's wrong?" Seeing Lei Hao suddenly calm down, she asked with a trembling voice.

  Lei Hao laughed and said: "Sun Wukong that dead monkey just sent me a message, saying that the time to attend the banquet at Jilei Mountain is approaching."

  His tear-stained face suddenly lit up with excitement: "Jilei Mountain?"

  Lei Hao nodded and said: "Yes, this is Ji Lei Mountain, far away in the western state of Niuhe, it's the new cave mansion of the Bull Demon King."

  "Hubby, can you take me with you?" said Wu Lei with a pitiful face.

  Lei Hao tilted his head and thought for a moment before saying, "Alright."

  Lei Hao agreed, and the small face that had been bitter without tears suddenly bloomed like a hundred flowers, leaving Lei Hao somewhat infatuated.

  Lei Hao drove up the clouds and returned to the Water Winding Cave.

  With Lei Hao's current speed of several thousand miles per hour, they would be back at the Water Womb Cave in just one or two hours.

  Inside the Water Curtain Cave, Wukong was sitting lazily on the throne, peeling a peach.

  Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and with a flash of his body, he transformed into a golden light that flew out of the Water Cavern.

  "Niu Tou, you're not being honest. When going out to play, didn't you also bring along Old Sun?" The white clouds under Lei Hao's feet dispersed as he was about to return to the cave when he heard Sun Wukong's voice from afar.

  Lei Hao's mouth split open in a wide grin as he said, "I'm going out to have some fun with Wu Lei, what's the point of bringing this dead monkey along?"

  Lei Hao had just opened his mouth when Sun Wukong's figure was already standing in front of him.

  "Who is Wú Lèi?" Monkey King asked with wide open eyes.

  Lei Hao's sidekick glared at Sun Wukong and said, "It's you, my aunt. Do you have any opinions?" Wu Lei went out for a trip and learned quite a bit.

  Sun Wukong made a beautiful retreat, scratching his monkey face without saying a word.

  "Monkey, isn't it still some days away from the summer solstice? What's the hurry to pass on a message?" Lei Hao said with a smile, looking at Sun Wukong who was holding back tears and had no choice.

  "I still have unfinished business with those two, the White Bone Demon and the Bull Demon King. My fists are itching." As soon as he mentioned fighting, Sun Wukong's eyes lit up.

  "Go ahead! Go ahead! Can you still break through the sky?" said with a scowl, without a good air.

  Sun Wukong pointed at Wu Lei with a questioning gesture, he couldn't understand why the little fox was unhappy.

  Lei Hao smiled and shook his head slightly. He knew that Wu Lei was being disturbed by the two of them, and Sun Wukong was getting annoyed.

  Three demons chatted for a while and then flew towards Mount Accumulated Thunder of Bull Demon King with their cloud heads.

  …………

  Dongsheng Shen Zhou is tens of thousands of miles away from Xiniuhe Zhou where Jilei Mountain is located. Even with Lei Hao's speed, it would take him over ten days to get there. Sun Wukong's筋斗云 (cloud) was very fast, but except for Sun Wukong himself, no one else could ride on it. He couldn't bear to part with Lei Hao and Wu Lei, so he had to patiently accompany Lei Hao as they slowly flew towards Jilei Mountain.

  Beyond Dongsheng Divine State is the endless Eastern Sea.

  The four great seas of this world are all occupied by the Dragon Clan, but the Dragon Clan should be very powerful. However, due to the death of the Ancestral Dragon in the first Great Calamity of the Opening Heavens, the Dragon Clan lost its clan's aura and fortune, with each generation being weaker than the last. Despite occupying the four seas with such rich resources, they couldn't produce a strong leader who could hold their own. As a result, the current Dragon Clan is very weak, having to endure the governance of the Heavenly Court from above and the bullying of the Demon Kings on the ground, and cannot be compared to the Dragon Clan of the Primordial Era.

  The sea surface with occasional passing ships seemed normal, but Lei Hao's divine sense kept discovering the transmission of evil spirits from under the sea. They were all aquatic demons from the Eastern Sea, and there were quite a few of them. However, Lei Hao didn't even find one Earth Immortal-level aquatic demon, and it was true that these aquatic demons had weakened to this extent.

  Lei Hao didn't know that all of this was due to Sun Wukong's aura. After Lei Hao advanced to the Earth Immortal, he usually restrained his own aura, making him look like an ordinary little demon that could be seen anywhere in the Water Cavern. However, Sun Wukong had never been in the habit of restraining his own aura, and was always releasing his powerful pressure wildly. Lei Hao and Wu Lei were already accustomed to it and almost ignored it, but his Golden Immortal-level aura on the surface of the sea was like a big lantern in the dark, causing all the aquatic creatures with spiritual intelligence within thousands of miles to escape cleanly.

  As for the patrolling yazi in the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea, they felt Monkey King's pressure and didn't even have time to tuck their tails before fleeing. Who would dare come forward and say more?

  However, the East Sea Dragon Palace does not dare to intervene, and it does not mean that anyone can run amok in the East Sea.

  Lei Hao and Sun Wukong were chatting when a huge water pillar suddenly burst forth from the front, several tens of feet high. On top of the water pillar stood a demon with a single horn on its head and a ferocious face. Judging by its aura, its cultivation was almost as strong as Lei Hao's, also at the Heavenly Immortal level.

  "Halt! You wild fairy from afar, don't you know the rules of this Eastern Sea?" The monster brandished its trident and shouted loudly.

  As soon as the monster spoke rudely, Lei Hao was about to take action, but Sun Wukong laughed strangely and said: "You ask who your family's Sun Grandfather is? It seems that your family's Great King hasn't mentioned the beautiful Monkey King of Mount Huaguo Water Curtain Cave?"

  The demon's ferocious expression paused, and he immediately became extremely respectful, bowing his head and saying: "So you are the Handsome Monkey King. I'm blind to have not recognized Your Majesty earlier. Please forgive me." After finishing speaking, he deeply bowed again, then said: "My king often mentions the Handsome Monkey King, and last time even told me that if I were to meet the Handsome Monkey King, I should invite him to visit the Jiaomo Palace."

  "His Majesty will go himself, retreat and don't block His Majesty's way."

  The monster bowed deeply again and turned into a giant python, 'plop' sound diving into the sea, disappeared without a trace after a few breaths.

  Lei Hao laughed and said: "It's pretty fast when you can run."

  Sun Wukong also laughed and said: "If he doesn't hurry up, I'll try out my Golden Cudgel on him."

  Three demons burst out laughing, and after they finished, Lei Hao asked: "Which cave's demon is this? It seems like you know the king of his household."

  Sun Wukong said seriously, "The big king of his family is the Jiaomo King, an old demon whose cultivation is even higher than mine. This old demon occupies the four seas, and those four 'mud eels' are just guarding the door for him. And this little jiao is one of the four great leaders of the Jiaomo King's palace. Two years ago, I met the Jiaomo King as a peer in the Ox Demon King's banana cave, so I recognize the aura of this little jiao."

  Lei Hao secretly said to himself, "Indeed." He had just heard the demon mention something about Jiaomo Palace and guessed that this demon was likely a subordinate of Jiaomo Wang. However, after hearing Sun Wukong say it out loud, he was still somewhat surprised in his heart.

  His cultivation is even higher than Sun Wukong's, which means he has approached the level of a demon god, and it's very possible that he has already become a top-level demon king. Moreover, he also possesses the vast foundation of the Four Seas, making the Dragon Demon King truly a formidable character.

  …………

  After leaving Donghai and setting foot in Xiniuhezhou, Lei Hao's understanding of this world became even more profound.

  Dongsheng Divine State is relatively peaceful due to its isolation overseas, small land and sparse population, with no fierce demons. If Dongsheng Divine State is a utopia, then Xiniuhe Divine State is a place of continuous war and strife, with barren mountains and treacherous waters.

  What is Xīnú Hèzhōu like?

  Everywhere are high mountains, everywhere are canyons, black land, mixed with bloody air. On top of each mountain, there is a surge of black demonic energy rising into the sky, and the wild atmosphere fills the sky of Xīnìu Hèzhōu.

  Sun Wukong took a deep breath of the air in Xīnú Hèzhōu, and said with a grin: "Although it can't compare to the elegance of Huāguǒ Shān or the peace of Dōngshèng Shénzhōu, this Xīnú Hèzhōu has a strong and vigorous energy, making it a great place for a fight."

  Lei Hao smiled silently, while Wu Lei slightly furrowed her brow. Having grown accustomed to the scenic beauty of Dongsheng Divine State, this Xiniuhe State truly did not meet her expectations.

  Lei Hao pressed down on the cloud head and descended onto Xīnìhè Province. He wanted to take a closer look at this Xīnìhè Province.

  As Lei Hao journeyed on, he found that the Western Cowherd State was indeed extremely chaotic. Everywhere were monsters occupying mountains and forests, wielding all sorts of strange and bizarre weapons. The strength of these monsters varied wildly; some cave masters were still in the Internal Elixir realm, while others had already reached the Heavenly Immortal level.

  As soon as Lei Hao's divine consciousness was released, he discovered that within a hundred miles, there were actually three battlefields. The roar of the demon king, the shouts of the little demons, and the chaotic sounds of the battlefield filled the air. Next to the battlefield, some demons were secretly using magical instruments to collect living souls and blood essence.

  What's even more bizarre is that there are actually humans in this wilderness.

  Lei Hao saw with his own eyes that there were human cultivators leading a group of bandits to occupy the mountain and attack the demon cave; There were also inns opened by human cultivators. Of course, these human maps would not be any ordinary objects, Lei Hao guessed that they might be some kind of spiritual medicine or refining equipment materials.

  The Wyoming that Ray saw was completely devoid of any signs of civilization, with a primitive landscape of survival of the fittest and natural selection everywhere.

  Lei Hao was also secretly rejoicing in his heart, if he hadn't crossed over to Dongsheng Divine State back then but instead ended up in Xiniuhe State, he would definitely be a dead man with no chance of growth.

  Because of the presence of Sun Wukong, that great deterrent, no monster would dare to lay a hand on them. Therefore, even if Lei Hao and his companions passed through the battlefield, they would be able to open up an invisible path for themselves, and those small monsters and the "Monster King" would not even touch a single finger of Lei Hao's three demons, no matter how fiercely they fought.

  Lei Hao was amazed by what he saw, and only now did he realize that in a life-or-death battle, one could actually perform such high-difficulty evasive maneuvers.

  Of course, those who can survive in this environment are not fools and can still distinguish which demons can be provoked and which cannot.
