Upon entering the pharmacy, there was no one inside.

"Where is the shopkeeper?"

Sun Wukong asked.

"The shopkeeper is out. What medicine does the Heavenly Emperor need to buy? Oh, wait, you are here to collect the red clay!"

As she spoke, the immortal maiden instructed the Golden Boy to fetch a carriage from the backyard.

"The carriage contains the red clay you need."

They said.

Nuwa walked forward joyfully, but the Golden Boy blocked her.

"My Lady, this isn't for you."

He said, "You don't have an item of equivalent exchange."

Nuwa frowned immediately, remembering her father mentioning that the pharmacy's owner was very stingy and fond of collecting treasures, even demanding precious items in exchange for a bit of crucible ash.

As it turned out today, the reputation was well deserved.

"What is needed for the exchange?" Sun Wukong asked.

"Heavenly Emperor doesn't need to."

Unexpectedly, the Golden Boy and the immortal maiden replied,

"The master said the Heavenly Emperor is a distinguished guest, so this is a welcoming gift."

The two presented the carriage to Sun Wukong.

Nuwa was shocked; who exactly was Sun Wukong, and why did he deserve such partiality?

After giving away the carriage, the Golden Boy and the immortal maiden bowed to them and said, "Please take the red clay and return. We need to move."

"Move?"

Sun Wukong asked, "Where to?"

"Wherever there's business, we will go. There won't be business here for 100 years, so we need to move."

The Golden Boy and the immortal maiden replied in unison.

"Where can I find you again?" Sun Wukong asked again.

"Where there's business, naturally we will meet again."

They answered.

Sun Wukong and Nuwa took their leave.

"This Heavenly Emperor really doesn't put on airs."

After they left, the Golden Boy couldn't help saying.

"Truly powerful individuals can't be assessed from the surface."

The immortal maiden added, "The master personally saw him pushing Buddha Beads through Chaos. That was truly impressive."

As they talked, the entire Immortal Island was enveloped in a hazy mist and gradually disappeared.

Sun Wukong and Nuwa returned to the Heavenly Pond.

A giant turtle stared dumbfoundedly at the carriage they had brought out.

"When did I eat a horse?"

It pondered dazedly.

"All this is red clay."

Nuwa looked coldly at the giant turtle, "You have an Immortal Island inside you. Why didn't you tell us sooner?"

The turtle was stunned, truly unaware.

However, in a moment, it gasped as it realized it harbored powers inside itself it didn't even know about!

"No wonder I've always felt a strong unawakened power inside me... perhaps it is a world-overturning force..."

The turtle trembled, recalling many incredible happenings throughout its life.

It finally understood why its left leg was shorter than its right, why other sea turtles had black heads but its was green, why it was the only turtle that survived under Fu Xi.

This was not mere luck; it was a child of Heavenly Destiny!

It realized the real power it contained. If awakened, what would Fu Xi amount to? Perhaps it could smash the Buzhou Mountain, interrupt Reincarnation, and marry Nuwa.

"Hehe, hehe..."

The turtle chuckled to itself.

"Have you collected all the other clays?" Sun Wukong asked Nuwa by the pond side.

"All collected."

Nuwa took out a Divine Tripod and said, "With the sun's Divine Fire, I will be able to refine the Five-Colored Stone."

"Where is the Divine Fire?"

Sun Wukong asked.

"I don't know."

Nuwa shook her head, then continued, "But the Fire God Zhu Rong will definitely find it."

"Lead the way. Let's find Fire God Zhu Rong."

Sun Wukong urged Nuwa to lead the way, riding the clouds towards Zhu Rong's palace.

In the Fire God Palace, Zhu Rong was drinking with Gong Gong.

"Brother, cool your temper."

As he poured more wine, he said, "Isn't it good to have someone help you?"

"What's good about it!"

Gong Gong slammed the cup down: "Absurd! That's my Heavenly Destiny, echoing for 129,000 years. How could it be arbitrarily given to someone else!"

At that moment, a servant walked in.

"Nuwa wishes to visit the Fire God."

Zhu Rong, having anticipated this, waved his hand: "Let her in."

Gong Gong snorted coldly: "She must be here for the Divine Fire."

"Heavenly Destiny decrees it, I must assist."

Zhu Rong said.

Gong Gong clenched his teeth, feeling extremely envious.

Nuwa walked into the palace, but there was someone else with her.

"Who are you?"

Zhu Rong asked, "Where do you come from?"

He sensitively sensed that Sun Wukong was not a familiar face.

"My name is Sun Wukong."

Sun Wukong replied with a bow: "I come from beyond the heavens."

This statement immediately infuriated Gong Gong: "You are the one who stole my fame."

He stood up, looking at Sun Wukong.

"Brother, you absolutely cannot give the fire to them!"

Gong Gong exclaimed.

"This…"

Zhu Rong hesitated.

At that moment, another servant walked in.

"Sir, a group of people have broken in!"

As soon as these words were spoken, a group of ragged people stormed in.

Upon seeing Gong Gong, they immediately became enraged.

"Gong Gong, you're indeed here!"

"You're cunning indeed, deceiving us while disguised in black fur!"

"My two brothers were taken by gorillas, their whereabouts unknown and life or death uncertain; you must pay for their lives!"

The crowd voiced their uncontainable anger, some even in tears.

"Gong Gong, today you must atone for crashing into Buzhou Mountain, no matter what!"

They drew their weapons.

"Wait, it wasn't him who crashed into Buzhou Mountain."

Sun Wukong spoke up: "It was me."

"You…"

The crowd turned to look at him, saw his frail body, and grew even angrier.

"Gong Gong!"

They yelled at Gong Gong: "You have no shame! Now trying to get someone else to take the blame."

They voiced their accusations: "We won't believe you anymore."

"Believe it or not, what does it matter to me!"

Gong Gong roared: "Instead of cursing, come fight me!"

This immediately enraged the crowd.

"Gong Gong, your life is forfeit!"

With a roar, they charged at Gong Gong.

A chaotic fight erupted in the palace, immediately full of clashing swords and flashing lights.

"Stop!"

Sun Wukong was about to intervene, but Zhu Rong stopped him.

Zhu Rong approached him and whispered a few words to Sun Wukong.

"Is this true?"

Sun Wukong looked surprised.

"No problem."

Zhu Rong sighed: "Doing this, brother will surely be pleased."

Sun Wukong was skeptical, but Nuwa, having heard, cried out first.

"Gong Gong, I saw with my own eyes you crashing into Buzhou Mountain!"

She glanced at Sun Wukong, who furrowed his brows and looked toward Gong Gong.

While fighting, Gong Gong glared back at him, a glint in his eyes.

Sun Wukong inwardly sighed.

"He's the one who crashed into Buzhou Mountain."

He said.

The next moment, Gong Gong burst out laughing.

"Indeed, I, Gong Gong, am the one who crashed into Buzhou Mountain!"

Suddenly feeling rejuvenated, he cast aside all his displeasures.

He relished this sensation of being the Demon King.
