At that moment,
Outside,
the troop of monkeys was resting. The white ape and the One-Armed Monkey were discussing their cultivation insights, glancing occasionally at Sun Wukong before resuming their discussion.
Just then, the area around Sun Wukong suddenly erupted with intense spiritual charm fluctuations, illuminating him with streaks of golden light which completely enveloped his figure.
The monkeys were startled and subsequently blown back by the aura of a mid-stage Earth Immortal, tumbling in all directions.
"What's happening?"
"What's wrong with the king?"
"Is he breaking through?"
"The commotion is too big, everyone be on alert!"
"Surround him..."
Faced with the sudden change, the monkeys were momentarily astonished before quickly regrouping and forming a defensive circle around Sun Wukong!
