One month later, the caravan arrived at Tongtian River.
"Once we cross this river, we enter the territory of Wanling Country."
Zhang Liang said.
"How do we get across?"
Bear Demon King looked around; there was neither a bridge nor a boat to be seen.
"Sir!"
Suddenly a shout rang out, a flying carriage skimmed over the surface of the river heading their way.
Hearing this, Zhang Liang looked up to see several other carriages following behind.
"Sir."
Crown Prince Yulong jumped down from the first carriage and said to Zhang Liang: "You've reached the border, the rest of the journey will be made on these carriages."
"Okay."
Zhang Liang smiled, nodded, and ordered the demons to transfer the Heavenly Book into the new carriages.
While the demons were busy, Zhang Liang examined the carriages; their design seemed more sophisticated than those from Huaguo Mountain.
"Are these carriages a new design?"
Zhang Liang couldn't help asking.
"Yes."
Crown Prince Yulong nodded.
These carriages were modified based on the technology from Huaguo Mountain to be more suitable for the environment of Wanling Country, and only more than a dozen had been made so far.
"Great King has given them a new name," said Crown Prince Yulong, "They are now called 'flying carriages'."
"Flying carriages?"
Zhang Liang nodded, impressed by the name.
In less than two months, Wanling Country had developed new models of carriages.
Zhang Liang felt pleased; it showed that Sun Wukong, though he had devoted all his resources to building Wanling City, had not neglected the research on technology.
After transferring the Heavenly Book, Zhang Liang and his party took the flying carriages towards Wanling Country.
After crossing the Tongtian River, Bear Demon King began to look around: "Where is Wanling City?"
"We still need to fly a thousand more li to the west, enter Xiaqi Mountain, and fly a few hundred li further,"
Crown Prince Yulong said.
"It's that far."
Bear Demon King looked down at the land with a bit of disappointment, "This place is just as desolate as other regions, not as good as Huaguo Mountain."
"It's good to have vast land, with the Great King's ability, this place will not remain desolate,"
Zhang Liang said cheerfully, not in a hurry, "Think about Huaguo Mountain, it's just that the place is too small and sparsely populated, which is why the Great King worries about development being limited."
"So that's it..."
After some thought, Bear Demon King realized Zhang Liang's words were the same as those said by Sister Deer.
Admiringly he said, "I am a brute, though I knew that having a large territory and many subordinates was good, I did not see as clearly as you, sir."
It was rare to travel with a wise man. Along the way, Bear Demon King patiently heeded Zhang Liang's advice and benefited greatly.
The caravan focused on hurrying along, passing over West Liang Woman Country, and entered Xiaqi Mountain.
Bear Demon King originally thought Xiaqi Mountain was a continuous range, but soon after entering it, he saw from the air vast stretches of neatly arranged farmland, seemingly endless.
"The mountains here have been moved."
Crown Prince Yulong introduced the area, explaining that the seeds had just been scattered, and this would be a major agricultural zone in the future.
Seeing the massive expanse of farmland, Bear Demon King truly understood the meaning of "large".
Huaguo Mountain did not have such a large place for cultivation.
After another hour of flight within the mountains, everyone perked up.
"We're covered by the Spiritual Network here!"
They felt they had passed the edge of the Spiritual Network.
The spiritual energy in the air suddenly became richer.
Bear Demon King looked down and saw more terraced fields and farmlands, different from the ones outside, as the crops here had been quickened by Immortal Law.
Humans and demons who had toiled for the day chatted and laughed on their way back home, which did not differ much from Huaguo Mountain.
In the evening, the caravan's flying carriages reached the valley and descended onto an open ground.
After two months of construction, several main streets of Wanling City had been built, and its scale was larger than many of the towns they had passed by.
On the streets, some shops and taverns were already bustling with activity.
The caravan was led by Crown Prince Yulong to the newly built library.
This was the largest building in Wanling City.
"You are finally here."
Sun Wukong stood outside the hall with several Immortals.
"Great King."
Zhang Liang and Bear Demon King quickly came forward to pay their respects: "We were delayed on the road."
"You're not late."
Sun Wukong turned to the carriages: "Have you brought the Heavenly Books?"
"We have."
Zhang Liang nodded.
Sun Wukong ordered the Immortals to move the Heavenly Books into Wanling Hall.
He watched as they worked, while Zhang Liang, marveling at Sun Wukong's regard for the Heavenly Books, asked: "Great King, I heard that Wanling City was built from a valley?"
"Yes, that's correct."
Sun Wukong nodded: "This is the valley."
"This is the valley?"
Zhang Liang was stunned; to him, this place was a plain on the summit of mountains.
"The Immortal's spells are truly miraculous."
Zhang Liang quickly realized that the Immortals had altered the terrain.
The Heavenly Books were swiftly moved into the library, and after instructing everyone to go have a meal and rest, Sun Wukong took Zhang Liang to check the bookshelves.
"This book is in the wrong place."
He picked up a misplaced music note book, used a spell, and the book with wings flew towards the shelf for music note books.
"Copying these Heavenly Books, that didn't harm the originals, did it?"
Sun Wukong adjusted the bookshelves while asking Zhang Liang.
The Heavenly Books that were brought to Wanling City were copies from the library in Huaguo Mountain; although they were copies, being Spiritual Objects, they could not be mass-produced, which is why they were transported in batches.
"No harm done."
Zhang Liang replied: "Master Puti was very careful."
"That's good."
Sun Wukong, having arranged the bookshelves and assigned guards, left with Zhang Liang.
"Everyone can grasp knowledge through the Heavenly Books."
Sun Wukong led the way: "In a hundred years, I will cultivate three hundred Heavenly Immortals."
Zhang Liang was shocked: "That many?"
"Not many at all; of the Four Great Continents, the Western Continent is the weakest in power."
Sun Wukong smiled: "I want to compete with the Jade Emperor, but it can't be like last time, relying only on my own power."
"Great King, if I may speak frankly."
Zhang Liang reminded: "Heavenly Immortals are different from ordinary small Immortals, even if you are a Heavenly Venerate, it's not possible to promote them all at once."
"I understand."
Sun Wukong nodded: "That's exactly why I will absorb the knowledge of the Heavenly Books, to establish Wanling Immortal Path."
It was sunset now, and the top of Xiaqi Mountain shone with a rosy glow.
Sun Wukong spoke of his goals: "In a hundred years, all in Wanling can become Immortals through wisdom."
Not just Zhang Liang, but anyone would not dare to imagine such a statement.
But Sun Wukong dared.
"Great, Great King..."
Zhang Liang's voice faltered: "Is this, is this possible?"
He had heard Sun Wukong set goals several times before, but none had seemed as incredible as this.
"Yes."
Sun Wukong's answer was as confident as it had been thirty years ago.
If the existing system of Cultivation couldn't meet his goal, he would create a new one.
He already had a direction.
