Among the mountains, the forest roared loudly as a black shadow swept across the ground, causing the soil to swell quickly and the trees to be overturned.

"Stop, stop!"

Behind the shadow, dozens of Immortals flitted through the forest in hot pursuit.

"You fools, get out of the way, watch me!"

A loud shout resounded in midair.

The Immortals ceased their pursuit and looked up, seeing Immortal Zhenyuan standing in the sky.

He rode on an Auspicious Cloud, pinpointed the direction, and with a sweep of his long sleeve, the mountains and forest parted, with mud and boulders swept up by the whirlwind into the sky, disappearing into his sleeve.

"Little thing, I finally caught you."

Immortal Zhenyuan reached into his sleeve and pulled out a small stone figure.

The small stone figure struggled in his hand, and finding it amusing, Immortal Zhenyuan tied it up with a rope.

"I'll take you back for my disciples to play with."

Immortal Zhenyuan said with a smile, and the small stone figure, sensing an ominous future, trembled with fear.

"Immortal, it's better to give this small totem to us!"

Water Virtues Star Monarch flew up from the ground and addressed Immortal Zhenyuan, "It's more useful to us."

"Yes, Immortal."

The other Immortals also came forward and said, "It's rare to capture a totem; instead of letting children play with it, it's better to put it into the Hongmeng microcosm."

Immortal Zhenyuan frowned, but the Immortals had a point, so he agreed.

"However, these totems have become more and more troublesome recently."

Immortal Zhenyuan handed the small stone over to Water Virtues Star Monarch and said, "It's been half a month now, can't you effectively control them, dear brother?"

"The Heavenly Emperor can prevent the totem's main body from escaping, which is already quite difficult."

Water Virtues Star Monarch chuckled, "These small totems are just fragments of power; if the Heavenly Emperor had to handle them all himself, wouldn't we be embarrassed?"

"That's true."

Immortal Zhenyuan nodded, "Let's get to work!"

The Immortals became busy again.

In the Virtue Palace, the sound of stones exploding could be heard intermittently.

A long while later, the Wanling Tree transformed from a stone tree back into a spirit tree, stabilizing once more.

"It's stable."

The Immortals, wiping sweat, said, "There are still some small totems causing trouble in the Mortal World; the mortals will have to deal with them themselves."

Following the Light Totem, the integration of the Heavenly Dao and totems had been going on for half a month.

During this period, many problems arose in the Wanling Heavenly Dao, with small totems being one of them, with no thorough method yet found for complete eradication.

Once inside the Heavenly Dao, totems often became uncontrollable; after much investigation, the Immortals discovered that they changed according to the mortals' Willpower.

Willpower is elusive, but fortunately, the problem of small totems is not significant and can still be suppressed temporarily.

"Heavenly Emperor."

After stabilizing the stone totem, Earth Virtues Star Monarch spoke to Sun Wukong, "Let's prepare for the next one."

"Wait a moment."

Sun Wukong looked up towards the Chaos.

He felt an ominous aura coming from there, an unwelcome visitor.

"I'll be right back."

Sun Wukong transformed into a beam of golden light and rushed into the Chaos.

Shortly after, a vast fluctuation erupted from within the Chaos.

The Wanling Tree in the Virtue Palace was shaken by the impact, swaying violently.

The Immortals looked up.

"Could it be the Immortal Mortals?"

"It's them!"

Erqing arrived at the Virtue Palace: "Don't panic, stabilize the Wanling Tree first."

The Immortals quickly cast spells to stabilize the Wanling Tree.

The Wanling Heavenly Dao, in its period of change and having absorbed a large number of totems, was very fragile.

Erqing noticed that the totems' light occasionally appeared within the Wanling Tree, indicating that the Heavenly Dao and totems hadn't achieved true integration and needed a method to constrain them.

Erqing helped the Immortals stabilize the Wanling Tree, and after a moment, the fluctuations in the Chaos subsided.

A while later, Sun Wukong returned.

He held two anklets in his hands, which he handed to Erqing.

"Two more."

Sun Wukong said.

Yuanshi Tianzun frowned, "They discovered it so quickly?"

"It doesn't matter if they have."

Sun Wukong said, "This level of threat I can still handle."

Yuanshi Tianzun shook his head.

The Immortal Mortals were too mysterious; no one knew how strong they really were or how many more resources they had.

These two instances of Immortal Mortals might just be minor characters.

"We must hurry."

Yuanshi Tianzun stroked his long beard, saying, "The totems are not stable enough within the Heavenly Dao; if a strong Immortal Mortal attacks, it could become the greatest vulnerability of the Three Realms."

"I know."

Sun Wukong said, "I'm already thinking of ways to control them."

"See what you think of this."

Sun Wukong gestured with his hand, and from his fingertips, a blaze transformed into a giant net, shimmering with starlight, each ray of starlight bearing a seated Immortal.

"Wanxian Map?"

Erqing's eyes widened instantly; the Immortals on the giant net weren't real Immortals but representations of the Immortal Dao they embodied.

"It's not the Wanxian Map."

Lingbao Tianzun immediately realized, "It emanates the aura of the Wanling Heavenly Dao."

Sun Wukong was surprised, "What is the Wanxian Map?"

"That's His Majesty's secret technique."

Yuanshi Tianzun replied, "The Jade Emperor truly has a divine talent, to have comprehended it on his own."

"The Jade Emperor?"

Sun Wukong became even more astonished, "He has such a move?"

He had been dealing with the Jade Emperor for so long but had never seen the Wanxian Map.

"The power of the Wanxian Map is immense, enough to affect the foundation of the Heavenly Dao."

Yuanshi Tianzun bowed, saying, "It's not to be used unless the Three Realms face a crisis of survival!"

Sun Wukong nodded.

"This is the Heavenly Dao Net, and I hope to use it to constrain the totems."

Sun Wukong said, "But it's not yet refined; can you two help me?"

"Of course."

Erqing willingly agreed to assist Sun Wukong.
