917: Chapter 295 Kunlun Ruins_5 917: Chapter 295 Kunlun Ruins_5 Sun Wukong felt a bit touched.
Although the Queen Mother of the West only spoke a few simple words, they gave him a feeling of comfort.
Touching his nose, he laughed and said, “Lead the way, I’ll go see what’s going on.”
The Queen Mother of the West could sense a slight change in Sun Wukong’s mood, and felt a bit of joy in her heart.
With Sun Wukong, they walked out of the great hall.
Under the guidance of the Queen Mother of the West, they arrived at the depths of Kunlun.
Ying Zhao, Kai Ming, and Lu Wu were garrisoned there, with mana swirling around them, yet not entirely settled.
Clearly, the three Divine Generals had just experienced a major battle.
When they saw Sun Wukong and the Queen Mother arrive, their expressions instantly brightened.
They had been a bit worried before, afraid that something from inside would rush out.
Now that Sun Wukong and the Queen Mother had arrived, they were no longer worried.
Even if some kind of monster rushed out, it would probably not be a match for these two.
Sun Wukong saw a blood-red portal open, standing there, faintly hearing ferocious roars from within.
The aura within was something he had never felt before.
But one thing was clear, these things did not belong to the Three Realms.
Even if they belonged to the Three Realms, they did not belong to later generations of living beings.
“What is behind this?”
Sun Wukong asked.
The Queen Mother shook her head and said, “I don’t know, only know that there are powerful monsters inside.
I wanted to explore before, and barely ventured far before being driven back.”
“Are there those who rival your strength?”
Sun Wukong was a bit surprised.
Usually in such places, having a Sub-Paramount is the limit.
Though not saying the cliche that evil cannot prevail over good, because Sun Wukong knew that was nonsense.
But truly evil things, inherently twisted, were hard pressed to ascend to higher realms.
Such beings were often influenced by internal slaughter, becoming distorted, making it difficult to elevate their Taoist Realm.
“Five Sub-Paramount peaks attacked me without regard for their lives, and I couldn’t withstand it, so I had to retreat.”
The Queen Mother smiled bitterly.
Supremes are very strong, but usually three Sub-Paramounts teaming up can suppress an ordinary Supreme.
Five Sub-Paramount peaks targeting her alone.
Unless one of the top ten strong of the Primordial, or someone whose combat strength is comparable to those top ten, nothing could stop them.
Back when Sun Wukong and Yang Jian had just broken through to Great Heavenly Venerate, their strength was equivalent to peak Sub-Paramount.
The two of them together could suppress a Supreme.
This related to their combat talent, naturally skilled in battle, but also demonstrated the power of peak Sub-Paramount.
Now their strength has advanced further, actually lying between Supreme and peak Sub-Paramount, stronger than all Sub-Paramounts, but not yet the level of a Supreme.
Five peak Sub-Paramounts suppressing a newly broken-through Supreme is quite normal.
Anyone advancing to Sub-Paramount is no weakling.
“You want me to explore it?”
Sun Wukong asked.
The Queen Mother shook her head, saying, “I’m not about to let you explore alone, I’ll go with you to investigate what kind of place this is.
I have a feeling, there’s an astonishing secret here.”
“Will they not pursue outwards?”
Sun Wukong suddenly realized a problem.
The Queen Mother shook her head, saying, “It seems there’s a force preventing them from leaving, and the stronger their power, the greater the restraint they face.
When they approach the portal, their strength diminishes, severely declining, not even comparable to a Celestial Immortal.”
Sun Wukong was surprised, so it seems those people actually cannot approach the Three Realms.
He had been puzzled earlier, why they couldn’t just send out five Sub-Paramounts to kill.
Thinking of this, Sun Wukong said, “Alright, I’ll go in and take a look.”
“I’ll go with you.”
The Queen Mother said earnestly.
She worried something unexpected might happen to Sun Wukong.
With the two teaming up, it would be easier to come out too.
If there was indeed a Supreme Level expert joining forces, it would be hard for Sun Wukong to come out alone.
That’s an unknown world, no one knows what kind of powerful beings might exist.
After thinking for a moment, Sun Wukong finally said, “Alright, we’ll go in together and ask them some questions.”
Sun Wukong was curious about where the portal led.
He wanted to know if the world connected by the portal posed any dangers.
If there are dangers, it would be best to deal with them early.
“Guard this place well, if anything from inside rushes out, strike them down immediately.”
Sun Wukong’s gaze fell on Ying Zhao and the others.
“Yes.”
Ying Zhao and the others quickly responded.
Their master is now one of the top figures between heaven and earth, their male master.
Seeing even the Queen Mother summon Sun Wukong for help in matters, if they slight him, they’d surely be asking for trouble.
Sun Wukong and the Queen Mother ventured into it together, and as soon as he entered that world, Sun Wukong sensed different things.
The aura here was somewhat similar to the Three Realms, like they shared an origin, but even older, filled with traces of time’s vicissitudes.
He practiced Mysterious Skill, the aura here seeped into his body, easily refined by him.
The Queen Mother glanced at Sun Wukong, a bit surprised, and said, “You can absorb the energy here?”
“Can’t you?”
Sun Wukong asked in surprise.
The Queen Mother shook her head, saying, “Yes, but the speed is extremely slow, it requires some time to refine it.
My mana recovery speed here is only one-third of that in the Three Realms.”
Sun Wukong nodded slightly, unsurprised by this.
