The naturally inside the carriage was the True Martial Emperor.
Upon disembarking, all the immortals went over to pay their respects.
"Great Emperor."
Immortal Zhenyuan smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to come as well."
"Northern Continent has already been taken over by the Buddha."
The True Martial Emperor sighed, "There is nothing for me to do there, and after much thought, this place seems better."
He turned his head towards Sun Wukong, "Great Sage, could you arrange a position for me?"
Sun Wukong naturally nodded in agreement.
The larger the Immortal Country, the more problems will arise in the future. The True Martial Emperor, known as the Demonic Dispelling Grandmaster of the Nine Heavens, was precisely the kind of person he needed to have in charge.
Not long after, the palace also descended, floating silently in mid-air.
This palace was even higher than the mountain peak, and looking up from the valley, it was incomparably splendid, like a pearl floating in the sky.
The immortals then realized that this was the Virtue Palace.
"Great Saint."
The respectful and calming Second Bureau led the immortal officials and fairies out to greet.
"Arise."
Sun Wukong asked them to stand up, and then thanked the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals who had escorted the palace.
The Heavenly Soldiers and Generals accepted his thanks, then vied with each other to leave.
"Am I that frightening?"
Sun Wukong couldn't help thinking and then with a wave of his hand towards the plaque above the palace, the name of the palace was immediately changed to "Wanling Hall."
"From now on, this will be my palace."
Sun Wukong said, looking back.
The immortals all nodded their heads; compared to building a new palace, it was indeed simpler to have the Heavenly Soldiers transport down the Virtue Palace directly from the heavens.
The Virtue Palace itself was an immortal structure, and with the nourishment of the Spiritual Spring, it could now float in the air.
"What a pity my palace has become ruins."
Many immortals felt a silent regret, thinking that if their palaces were still intact, they might also be able to seek some Heavenly Soldiers to relocate their palaces.
After the Wanling Hall was stable, Sun Wukong invited the immortals inside to celebrate.
In the following days, he received guests from all around within the Wanling Hall.
Lady Rakshasa of Jilei Mountain spent four days organizing the demons, and then upon receiving Sun Wukong's instructions, led them to Flame Mountain.
Among the mountains, the demons saw about a dozen immortals using their divine skills to move mountains and alter the terrain.
"This is truly the means of a Heavenly Venerate."
The Demon Saints sighed admiringly while steering clear of the territory being altered by these immortals, heading in the direction of Wanling Hall.
As they went deeper, they met more and more people; some humans who originally lived within the borders of Wanling Country were being gathered to cultivate and sow seeds in newly demarcated areas.
Deeper still, the cultivators became the humans and demons who had migrated from Huaguo Mountain; some of their crops had already matured, ready for harvesting.
"What's with those monks?"
The Peng Demon King noticed a group of bald-headed individuals mixed in.
"They are monks from Huaguo Mountain."
Lady Rakshasa glanced over and saw elder Guang Hui taking the lead in the work.
Elder Guang Hui's life was originally not much longer, but Sun Wukong once gave Ao Luan some Flat Peaches, of which Ao Luan gave one to Guang Hui.
After eating it, the elder is now more enthusiastic and wholeheartedly wants to contribute to Wanling.
The demons continued forward, and near the valley, they saw a palace under construction at a junction.
"What are they building here?"
Peng Demon King asked again.
Lady Rakshasa glanced over, and after seeing the silhouette of the Water Moon Fairy, she immediately guessed.
The palace was likely for the female demons, to serve as a center for rain prediction in the future.
The rain prediction service would eventually be moved to the Western Continent, as the distance here is shorter.
But Lady Rakshasa did not expect that Sun Wukong considered it as the first order of business.
She explained, and then she entered the valley with the demons. In just a few days, the valley had almost completely transformed. Not only had the terrain become higher, but many different areas had been divided within it.
It was currently night, yet countless demons were scurrying through the valley, seemingly to establish the first city here.
"You all stay here."
Lady Rakshasa left the lesser demons in the valley and, together with the five Demon Saints, went to visit Sun Wukong at Wanling Hall.
Sun Wukong was not resting.
During these days, Independent Immortals and Taoists who had achieved success in their cultivation, including the Great Monk from the Western Continent, had all come to visit him one after another.
When the Demon Saints arrived, he had just finished seeing a State Preceptor from a small country.
"Lady Rakshasa, the Venerable Fox King has come."
Sun Wukong said to Lady Rakshasa, "He's very busy with his work. Go and help him."
"Yes."
Lady Rakshasa bowed and left.
Sun Wukong then asked about the status of the five Demon Saints, and, after confirming their sincere allegiance, he summoned the Great Emperor Zhen Wu.
"Great Emperor, you'll arrange their duties for me."
Sun Wukong handed over the task of managing the group of demons to the Great Emperor Zhen Wu.
The five Demon Saints were terrified upon meeting the Great Emperor Zhen Wu and nearly turned and ran away.
Great Emperor Zhen Wu was also surprised to see Bull Demon King and his party, but he understood that Sun Wukong was currently in dire need of manpower—the group of demons led by the Bull Demon King was very important.
"Rest assured."
Great Emperor Zhen Wu said to Bull Demon King and the others, "As long as you don't cause trouble, I will overlook past grudges and grievances."
The five Demon Saints sighed in relief and followed the Great Emperor Zhen Wu to leave Wanling Hall.
"What are we going to do?"
Bull Demon King asked.
"Reclaim wasteland, move mountains, and build cities."
The Great Emperor Zhen Wu turned around and said, "Also mining."
Building cities required minerals.
Meanwhile, Lady Rakshasa met with the Venerable Fox King and immediately learned that he was planning the future of the Immortal Country.
She picked up a list and her eyes swept over it, startled.
"300 towns and cities, 30 Floating Cities, a transportation system covering two thousand li a day, three hundred Immortals, universal education... How is this possible..."
"This is a hundred-year goal."
The Venerable Fox King snatched the list, saying, "This list was originally drawn up by the Great King and has since been temporarily rejected by us."
He said, "We currently have nothing, it's hard even to meet a ten-year transitional goal, let alone think about a hundred years from now."
He handed a pile of documents to Lady Rakshasa.
"The Great King now wants us to transfer tens of thousands of demons from Huaguo Mountain, concentrate our efforts, first build the primary city, solve the food security issue, and then set a ten-year transitional goal."
Lady Rakshasa immediately got busy.
Ao Luan from Huaguo Mountain was also busy, engrossed in selecting the list of demons going to the Western Continent.
Suddenly, East Sea Dragon King Ao Guang found her.
"Father, I have things to do."
Ao Luan had no time to entertain him and could only pour him a cup of tea, letting him watch her work.
"My daughter, I heard that an Immortal has gone to the Western Continent."
Ao Guang said.
Ao Luan kept her head down and worked, "Isn't that quite normal?"
"The Immortal is The Matchmaking God."
Ao Guang said, sipping his tea.
After a long wait, hearing no response, he looked up only to see that the window was open and Ao Luan was nowhere to be seen.
"Sigh..."
Ao Guang shook his head.
She was in such a hurry she even forgot about her father!
