Ten days later, Sun Wukong displayed a piece of paper in front of Master Puti.

"Go."

He released his hand and the paper turned into an eagle, soaring around in the Wanling Hall.

"What is the principle behind this?"

The Grandmaster watched the eagle in amazement.

Sun Wukong hadn't turned a piece of paper into an eagle; it was the paper itself that had become an eagle.

The paper was inscribed with symbols that endowed it with the power to transform.

But the Grandmaster couldn't quite understand the principle behind it.

"Is this your Wanling Immortal Path?"

The Grandmaster asked again.

Sun Wukong nodded.

"It's truly inconceivable..."

The Grandmaster couldn't help but marvel.

He had posed the topic of the Transformation Technique.

But he had never imagined that Sun Wukong would literally turn the Transformation Technique into text.

"Can everyone learn it?"

The Grandmaster asked again.

"Not yet."

Sun Wukong shook his head.

His creation of the Wanling Immortal Path was still immature, with many problems.

Among them, a key issue was that for text to transform into a spell, it must possess its own power, and not everyone can infuse text with power.

"To let ordinary people learn it, we'll need to use Wanling Country's technology to lower the threshold of the Immortal Dao."

Sun Wukong replied: "This will require a technological revolution."

The Grandmaster didn't understand: "What kind of revolution?"

"It's simple, we can create a treasure as a medium to endow text with spirituality."

Sun Wukong answered: "As for the current state of Wanling Country, it's already possible to create it."

The Grandmaster furrowed his brow: "How long would it take?"

"Twenty to thirty years."

Sun Wukong responded.

The treasure he wanted to create had effects somewhat similar to the computer in the Heavenly Book.

Of course, it was actually a different thing.

"It is a medium that can turn text into a spell."

Sun Wukong explained, but to create and use this medium, Wanling Country would still need a technological leap.

Wanling Country was now possibly on the cusp of such a leap.

But before doing this, Sun Wukong still had another task to complete.

"Is Daji performing at Miao Yin Square tonight?"

Sun Wukong asked the Grandmaster.

The Grandmaster nodded: "Do you want to go watch?"

"I need to see it for myself."

Sun Wukong nodded; since his return, what he had heard discussed the most was about Daji.

Daji's popularity had surged in Wanling City, with her posters plastered all over the streets, which surprised Sun Wukong.

"Why has she become popular among women too?"

Sun Wukong asked.

He noticed that even Ao Luan's appraisal of Daji had improved.

Master Puti couldn't help but laugh: "What's popular is her fashion."

It wasn't that girls liked Daji, but rather they were fond of the trend she had set.

Daji always managed to dress more beautifully than other girls.

Over the years, Wanling Country's fashion had become more diverse because of Daji.

"Then I must go and see for myself."

Sun Wukong's curiosity was piqued.

In the evening, he and the Grandmaster went to Miao Yin Square.

In the Four Great Continents, dancing and singing women were called Dancing Girls and Singers, and their social status wasn't high.

But in Wanling Country, these were legitimate professions, and moreover, highly esteemed.

Sun Wukong first watched some girls perform, and then he waited for Daji, who emerged along with some Fairy Chang'e.

Today she didn't feel like singing, so she just picked up a fan and danced gracefully.

It was a dance that mimicked birds, quite ordinary, but performed by her, it became incredibly splendid.

As the fan waved, flames surged around Daji, turning into a series of Fire Phoenixes circling on the stage, eliciting waves of screams from the audience.

"Truly extraordinary."

Sun Wukong couldn't help but exclaim.

"The best part is yet to come."

Grandmaster added a sentence.

Sun Wukong looked on with confusion, and soon saw a fire lotus appear under Daji's feet.

She waved her fan, dancing elegantly and gracefully atop the swirling fire lotus, yet she never crossed the boundary.

Even someone like Sun Wukong, who didn't understand the art of dance, could recognize that Daji's dance skills had surpassed those of other fairies.

The Fairy Chang'e, at that moment, merely served as a backdrop to her.

"I'll choose her."

Sun Wukong made up his mind.

At the end of the dance, he called Daji over.

"Great King."

Daji walked over to Sun Wukong and bowed.

Having not seen him for over a decade, her divine skills had grown significantly, with immortal light swirling around her.

Sun Wukong smiled faintly: "Daji, your dance just now was very impressive."

"Thank you."

Daji was a bit puzzled—how could such a fool as the Great King appreciate dance?

"I have a suggestion."

Sun Wukong continued, "If you are willing, I can make everyone in the Western Continent recognize your beauty."

Daji's eyes shone: "Of course, I am willing."

Only a fool would refuse, Daji thought to herself.

Then, the next day, she sat bewildered in the carriage leaving Wanling Country.

The carriage, guarded by a group of demons, cut through the clouds.

Inside the carriage, Daji, who was puzzled for quite some time, asked Lady Rakshasa beside her.

"What's going on?"

Daji said, "Where are we going?"

"To visit various countries."

Lady Rakshasa replied, casting an envious gaze at the splendid dance clothes on Daji.

"You are our ambassador."

"Ambassador?"

Suddenly, Daji realized—she was meant to perform everywhere!

Had she known it was such a hard job, she wouldn't have agreed so readily.

Daji felt some regret.

Meanwhile, at Kunlun Mountain, countless lights were leaving the Three Thousand Immortal Paths.

These disciples of the Three Thousand Immortal Paths were also going to visit various countries.

"Your Majesty, isn't this too hasty?"

Gold Star Taibai, looking at those departing lights, asked, "They are not yet fully independent."

"Letting the fledglings fly is the only way for them to grow."

The Jade Emperor answered.

He was running out of time. According to the original plan, he should have been leading the descent to train.

After the training, his immortal body would have healed.

However, now his plans were disrupted, and he had no choice but to let these disciples exhibit their capabilities.

"No matter, these disciples have already become immortals; even without guidance, they won't fear devils."

The Jade Emperor said, "They will conquer the nations for us."

The century-long pact first consisted of individual exploration and development, and the latter half was to secure full control over the Four Great Continents.

Although they could not interfere with the internal affairs of nations, they still had their methods.

"We must turn the Eastern Continent into an impregnable fortress before the century arrives."

The Jade Emperor thought to himself, a solid stronghold, sufficient to defeat the enemy if attacked, sturdy enough to hold if retreated, was an essential element to achieve great feats.

Only in this manner could they gain an advantage in the next round of negotiations.

"Gold Star Taibai."

The Jade Emperor turned to Gold Star Taibai and said, "Talk to the Six-Eared Macaque, if he stays out of trouble, I can give him a country."

Gold Star Taibai was stunned: "This..."

"Go."

The Jade Emperor gestured.

"Your Majesty."

Gold Star Taibai bowed and said, "The Six-Eared Macaque cannot be trusted."

If they wanted to completely control the Eastern Continent, the Six-Eared Macaque must not remain.

"I have my own plan."

The Jade Emperor waved his hand again, offering no further explanation.

With no choice, Gold Star Taibai took his leave.

Once he left, the Jade Emperor's gaze shifted towards the Western Continent.

He knew that Sun Wukong must also have begun strategizing over the nations.

This was a rapid game of chess in which no one could afford to lose.
