"This tree is the control center of the Wanling Heavenly Dao."
Ao Luan began to explain to the crow.
The crow was even more shocked as it had been following Sun Wukong for a few days and had some understanding of the Wanling Heavenly Dao.
But it couldn't imagine that such a Heavenly Dao also had a tree-shaped control center, which could be controlled by everyone.
"This Heavenly Dao is too terrifying!"
The crow looked at the Wanling Tree.
On the tree, it saw some things that other Heavenly Daos did not have—growth, inclusiveness, potential—if this tree continued to grow, it might eventually consume the whole Chaos.
It was a massive monster.
At this time, Sun Wukong felt a call.
The Wanling Tree sensed his arrival, exuding auspicious qi and Immortal Light, joyfully calling out to him.
Sun Wukong walked over, letting the Immortal Light fall upon him.
In an instant, Sun Wukong shone brightly, dazzling and astonishing.
In response to the call of the Wanling Tree, another power inside him also pulsed joyfully, a familiar force—it was the Heavenly Dao that he had taken with him.
The Heavenly Dao within Sun Wukong emitted light, intertwining and merging with the light from the Wanling Tree, illuminating the Virtue Palace dazzlingly.
As the Heavenly Daos fused, Sun Wukong, as their master, found boundless wisdom flooding into his mind.
He quickly understood.
The Wanling Tree of the Three Realms had developed sentience, possessing the ability to self-analyze and grow.
It had truly become a Heavenly Dao, yearning to absorb new things to perfect itself.
"It has grown to this extent."
Sun Wukong was surprised, strands of Immortal Light within him weaving and converging until they transformed into a new Wanling diagram that hovered above his dantian.
He extended his right hand towards the Wanling Tree.
"Go!"
In an instant, an endless blaze burst forth from his right hand, swiftly engulfing the Wanling Tree.
"What kind of flame is this!"
The crow was alarmed, withdrawing to a corner of the cage.
Under Sun Wukong's command, the Wanling Tree roared, flames blazed, accompanied by the changes of the Heavenly Dao above, causing the Virtue Palace to rumble as if it could collapse at any moment.
After a while, the crow realized that the tree was growing stronger under Sun Wukong's touch, its aura became elusive, and apart from the original Immortal Dao, some lights of the Chaos Dao also appeared.
"It's absorbing new Daos!"
The crow realized, this was an opportunity.
"Sun Wukong, let me out quickly, throw me onto the tree."
The crow flapped its wings excitedly, shouting: "I am willing to be a protector, to protect your Heavenly Dao!"
"Aren't you supposed to die if you leave the birdcage?"
Sun Wukong asked, his voice as distant as the Wanling Tree.
"I have three lives!"
The crow shouted loudly: "Even if I die once, it's worth it to make this tree my home."
"Little Phoenix."
A thought flashed through Sun Wukong's mind: "Is that possible?"
"No problem."
A voice rose from deep within him: "This crow covets the power of the Heavenly Dao, I'll just feed it some."
"Alright."
Sun Wukong nodded, agreeing.
While maintaining the blaze in his right hand, he flung the birdcage and with a dazzling light in his left hand, promptly grabbed the crow out of the cage.
"Gah—"
A streak of blood suddenly appeared on the crow.
It struggled briefly before dying in Sun Wukong's hands.
But its death was not caused by Sun Wukong; he had not exerted any force.
Sun Wukong frowned slightly and threw the crow onto the Wanling Tree.
Soon, the crow came back to life, standing on the tree.
"Fire, so much fire!"
The crow, bathed in the glow and panicking, hopped from branch to branch.
After a while, it realized the fire did it no harm. Not only was there no harm, it felt a vast aura.
The crow stopped hopping, beginning to accept the baptism of the fire.
It increasingly felt the profundity and terror of the Wanling Heavenly Dao, as if it was a treasure waiting to be unearthed.
Moments later, Sun Wukong withdrew the flames.
The Wanling Tree grew larger, it stood gracefully, shining brightly.
"Gosh, this tree is so enticing."
The crow rubbed against the tree trunk with joy, with three golden flame lines appearing on its head.
Sun Wukong looked at the three gold lines and a thought flashed through his mind, as if he controlled the crow's life and death at any time.
After receiving the baptism of the Wanling Heavenly Dao, it could no longer defy him.
But instead of being angry, the crow showed a joyous demeanor.
Being able to live on the Wanling Tree was surely the blessing of several lifetimes.
The crow had absolute faith in the Wanling Tree; it was too strong, and it would be even stronger in the future. Just living on this tree for a few hundred years, those immortals would be no match for it!
"Sun Wukong."
The crow finished its excitement, then turned to Sun Wukong and said: "This tree can become even stronger."
"I know."
Sun Wukong looked towards the Wanling Tree, this Heavenly Dao that he had created by his own hand. Although it had been infused, it had not undergone a fundamental change.
The Wanling Heavenly Dao was already very mature, seeking an even higher level of transformation.
"Crow, what else do you know?"
Sun Wukong looked at the crow on the Wanling Tree: "Do you know how to make it stronger?"
"Of course, you already have that thing."
The crow replied: "If you can integrate the Hongmeng Totems with the Wanling Heavenly Dao, recreating the Pangu Sky Splitting Axe will be no trouble at all!"
