Master Puti agreed to leave the mountain but was in no hurry to leave Three Star Cave.
He and Sun Wukong had arranged to meet in a few days at Huaguo Mountain.
Sun Wukong went ahead back to Huaguo Mountain.
As soon as he flew into the Spiritual Network, a familiar figure greeted him.
"Brother."
Ao Luan looked at him excitedly, with a lot to say, but after her gaze flitted for a moment, she only left behind four words: "You really... welcome back."
She almost blurted out how handsome he was.
"How come you're always the first to find me?"
Sun Wukong was a bit puzzled.
"Intuition."
Ao Luan replied with a playful smile.
"Your intuition is quite impressive."
Sun Wukong remarked.
He took the Dragon Ball out of his chest and handed it to Ao Luan: "Don't mess around again."
"Yes."
Ao Luan received the Dragon Ball and took it back into her body.
Soon several more figures flew up to them.
"Worthy brother, did you accomplish your task?"
Immortal Zhenyuan inquired of Sun Wukong.
Sun Wukong nodded and then noticed someone beside him who shouldn't have been at Huaguo Mountain.
"Dragon King."
Sun Wukong bowed to the East Sea Dragon King Aoguang.
The East Sea Dragon King, flattered, helped him up.
"The Great Saint really honors this old dragon."
He said with a smile: "You are sworn siblings with the Jade Emperor, with countless immortals submitting to you, how can this old dragon deserve such a gesture from you?"
Sun Wukong frowned slightly: "That Ocean Stabilizing God Needle..."
"No need to return it."
Aoguang said cheerfully: "The Great Saint and it are fated, so I'll give it to the Great Saint."
After all, we're almost family.
Aoguang thought to himself, it didn't really matter whether it was returned or not.
"Brother, let's go back and talk! Ao Luan took Sun Wukong's hand, saying: "Everyone's been waiting for your return."
Sun Wukong nodded, and with a somewhat puzzled glance at Ao Luan's hand, he dropped the matter and returned to Shuilian Cave with the three of them.
The demons, seeing their Great King return, were overjoyed, immediately arranging fine wine and food, hosting a grand feast in Shuilian Cave to celebrate the occasion.
Immortal Zhenyuan recounted Sun Wukong's exploits in Heavenly Palace, not only impressing the demons but also astonishing Erlang's infantry.
Immortal Master Erlang immediately decided that he would go to the Western Continent with Sun Wukong in the future.
"Great King, when will you take charge of the Western Continent and go to your post?"
The Bear Demon King asked while pouring wine for Sun Wukong.
Drinking his wine, Sun Wukong said: "There's no rush for now, the Buddha has not left, we need to let the wind blow a while longer."
"Wind?"
The Bear Demon King scratched his head: "What wind?"
The other demons burst into laughter.
"It's the news, you blockhead!"
The Golden Winged Great Peng explained: "The Great King wants everyone to be aware of this matter."
The Bear Demon King suddenly understood.
"Report!"
Suddenly, a Fox Demon ran into Shuilian Cave: "Great King, there are several Immortals outside seeking an audience with you."
"They've come so soon?"
Sun Wukong was somewhat surprised, and asked the Fox Demon to bring the Immortals inside.
"Great Saint."
Water Virtues Star Monarch, leading several Immortal Officials, bowed to Sun Wukong.
Sun Wukong glanced over, noting that only a few people had arrived, not everyone.
"Why have you come so soon?"
He asked: "Don't you need time to pack?"
"Our homes were destroyed by the Great Saint."
Water Virtues Star Monarch sighed: "There's nothing much to pack."
"I almost forgot about that, let me arrange accommodations for you."
Sun Wukong smacked his forehead, almost forgetting about this matter.
"Mr. Gu Zhi, please take them to Yunxiao City for accommodations."
Sun Wukong instructed Mr. Gu Zhi to take the Immortal Officials down.
Mr. Gu Zhi led the Immortal Officials towards Yunxiao City.
"Distinguished Immortals, why choose to follow the Great King?"
He was somewhat curious.
"Five hundred years of gourmet food."
Beidou Star Monarch replied.
"Eh?"
Shuide Star Monarch turned his head to look at him: "You too?"
"What do you mean 'you too'."
The other Immortal Officials said: "We all are."
Mr. Gu Zhi fell silent immediately.
Can these Immortal Officials truly be trusted?
Shuilian Cave, by the end of the banquet, the floor was strewn with demons who had collapsed in drunkenness.
Sun Wukong finished the last jug of fruit wine and walked out of Shuilian Cave alone.
Ao Luan, slightly tipsy, hurriedly followed him.
Sun Wukong walked all the way to the summit of the mountain.
Facing the sea, his body suddenly shimmered with light, and countless golden rays transformed into a woman who flew out.
The woman bowed to him.
"Thank you for saving me from the Flask of Yin and Yang Essence."
Sun Wukong spoke: "You helped me, and I've fulfilled your expectations; until we meet again next time."
The woman nodded slightly; the will of all beings had already helped Sun Wukong change the world.
Sun Wukong did very well, not exceeding the limits of their power.
But she had reached her limit in maintaining it until now.
The body of the woman began to dissipate, with wisps of flame vanishing into the wind.
"Your journey has only just begun."
Countless wills turned into words and rang in Sun Wukong's ears: "What comes next is key."
Sun Wukong understood: "I will prove it to you all."
He knew as long as he proved his path to be correct, these wills would return to him.
The woman smiled and then disappeared into the air, leaving only a single golden hair behind.
This hair was the will of merit that had been born beside Sun Wukong, harbored in a monkey hair.
It was very weak but was a core that, after absorbing countless wills, could once again return to that form.
"Come back."
Sun Wukong extended his hand, and the hair flew onto Sun Wukong's head, its light dimming until it was indistinguishable.
Sun Wukong felt the back of his head.
He had a feeling he would make use of her power in the future.
But for now, he no longer needed it.
Sun Wukong heard voices; with a detecting look, he raised his head and saw a group of serene fairies glide past the moon and descended.
"Fairy Chang'e."
He frowned slightly: "Why have you come down?"
Fairy Chang'e, along with a dozen sisters, gracefully landed on the mountain peak.
"Deity of the Moon said, after five hundred years, the Heavenly Palace will unify once again."
Fairy Chang'e said: "She has instructed us to learn from you for five hundred years."
Sun Wukong thought for a moment and then agreed.
"No problem."
Fairy Chang'e then looked behind Sun Wukong: "Miss Ao Luan is here too, why does she look unhappy?"
Sun Wukong turned his head and indeed saw Ao Luan not far away, frowning and pouting, looking somewhat angry.
"What's wrong?"
He asked.
"It's nothing!"
Ao Luan turned and walked away.
Sun Wukong, watching her leave, was somewhat puzzled.
He shook his head and said to Fairy Chang'e: "Then go to Daji; she'll take good care of you."
Fairy Chang'e nodded and led the fairies into the forest.
Sun Wukong enjoyed the breeze for a while and then went to Yunxiao City's library.
The old turtle was on duty here.
"Have all the new technologies developed in these years been recorded properly?"
Sun Wukong asked him.
The old turtle nodded.
"Bring them all to me."
Sun Wukong instructed the old turtle to bring the records of the last decade.
He had to absorb these records to understand the extent of technological development.
