Sweeping Star did not immediately go to Wanling Country.

She still had to retrieve her name from the Immortal Records, which was not a simple task.

Sun Wukong did not rush to help her either, as another person would inevitably replace Sweeping Star in Heavenly Palace, which was not good for him.

He needed a stable environment for reading, and a benefit of Sweeping Star residing in the Scripture Pavilion was that people seldom bothered her, and no one caused trouble.

Of course, occasionally there were still some fools.

That evening, Sun Wukong closed his eyes to rest, and two new disciples sneaked in.

"Wouldn't this wake him up?"

"It's fine, he's just a bookworm, he won't notice us."

The two new disciples tiptoed toward the bookshelves.

"Where is the Cultivation Technique for absorbing yin and supplementing yang?"

The disciples searched for books they were embarrassed to borrow.

They finally reached the bookshelf, but suddenly one of them slipped, dragging the other out of the window.

"Yi ya ahhh!"

Both disappeared from view as they fell beyond the clouds.

Sun Wukong opened his eyes from his rest, silently closed the window, and acted as if nothing had happened.

After this lesson, those two disciples never dared to mess around again.

This was why Sweeping Star alone could guard the Scripture Pavilion.

Sun Wukong was one of the few who could peacefully coexist with Sweeping Star. Although he often faced misfortune, he was used to it, so it wasn't a big deal.

Just like that, he spent another two years in the Scripture Pavilion.

Suddenly one day, while eating, Sun Wukong dropped his chopsticks.

Looking at his hands, for a moment, they turned transparent.

The spell of Zhuangzi Dreaming of the Butterfly weakened.

"What's going on?"

Sun Wukong frowned slightly; he had not set any time limit on the Zhuangzi Dreaming of the Butterfly.

However, the weakening of the spell was a fact, and Sun Wukong immediately prepared to leave.

In Wanling Hall, Ao Luan and Lady Rakshasa came to Sun Wukong's room.

The Jade Seal hovered above Sun Wukong, emitting countless linear beams of light.

"What is that?"

Lady Rakshasa watched as a beam of light burst in the air.

"That is the wrong answer."

Ao Luan responded.

Those beams were the Immortal Dao.

Over the years, they continuously grew, explored, shattered, and finally, they merged together.

The sprout inside the Jade Seal had robustly grown into a small tree.

Although it was still small, it had become a real tree.

Ao Luan looked at the small tree, her eyes glittering with endless light.

That was the light of the Immortal Dao, endless illumination.

Those lights contained information that no one could understand, very alien.

But Ao Luan knew one thing.

"The Wanling Immortal Path created by my brother could perhaps transform all text and runes into spells."

She extended her hand, and a rune enveloped in light landed in her palm.

Ao Luan received a command from Sun Wukong through the light.

Lady Rakshasa looked at the light on the Jade Seal, and suddenly remembered something from decades ago.

Before her aging master passed away, Sun Wukong had told him—he wanted to create a world where technology and wisdom would become the paths to cultivation.

"So that's it."

Only now did Lady Rakshasa understand the meaning of those words.

"Brother is coming back."

Ao Luan stood up.

"Give this to the Emperor."

She happily handed the rune to Lady Rakshasa: "It can help Sweeping Star."

In the Scripture Pavilion, Sun Wukong had been searching for the reason behind the weakening of the spell.

A few days later, Sweeping Star left with the rune in high spirits.

Sun Wukong stood outside the Scripture Pavilion and saw the Auspicious Cloud emerging from Chess Immortal Palace, finally understanding the reason.

"So it is..."

Sun Wukong sighed: "So you really are the Jade Emperor."

The weakening of Zhuangzi Dreaming of the Butterfly was caused by the reflection in the lake trembling due to the imminent return of the master of the Immortal Dao.

The aura of the Jade Emperor was growing stronger, incredibly strong.

He might return at any moment, Sun Wukong had no choice but to leave.

He hadn't finished reading all the books in the Scripture Pavilion; over the years, he only managed to read ten thousand volumes.

Though the content of these ten thousand books wasn't perfect, it was enough for him to lay a solid foundation and create the Wanling Immortal Path.

"The rest of the books, I will come back to read in a hundred years."

Sun Wukong returned to the Scripture Pavilion and erased the halo on the wall.

To have the chance to return in the future, he had to eliminate the evidence.

At night, Sweeping Star came back with a cheerful look on her face.

"Take me with you."

Sun Wukong said to her.

Sweeping Star looked at him in surprise: "What did you say?"

"You are going to Wanling Country."

Sun Wukong said, "Then take me with you."

Sweeping Star was startled and felt that Sun Wukong suddenly became mysterious.

"Who are you really?"

She continued to ask.

Sun Wukong did not answer.

Although Sweeping Star was surprised, in the end, she still pulled Sun Wukong along, and they were carried away by a blue luan.

"Why are there two of them today?"

The guarding Heavenly Soldiers watched the scene while eating sunflower seeds.

"Don't worry about them, they won't die."

Another Heavenly Soldier said.

Sweeping Star's usual misfortunes were very normal, and the Heavenly Soldiers were long used to it.

Until the next day, when someone reported to Gold Star Taibai that Sweeping Star's name had disappeared from the Immortal Records, Gold Star Taibai hurried to the Scripture Pavilion.

By then, Sweeping Star and Sun Wukong had already vanished for a night.

The Three Thousand Immortal Paths were in an uproar.

In the evening, a beam of Immortal Light surged into the sky.

Gold Star Taibai saw it and flew towards the Chess Immortal Palace.

In the Chess Immortal Palace, a young man opened his eyes amidst the clouds and mist.

"Your Majesty."

Shangqing said with a hint of apology: "You took the wrong path, so I had no choice but to restore your memory ahead of time."

"It doesn't matter."

The Jade Emperor shook his head: "How long have I slept?"

"For over a decade."

Shangqing replied.

"A decade?"

The Jade Emperor shook his head and sighed: "Time really flies."

He stood up and examined his Immortal Body, which had grown younger and stronger.

Though he had recovered quite a bit, some injuries still remained unresolved.

"The experience is still not enough; perhaps I should descend to the mortal realm again."

The Jade Emperor said.

Shangqing frowned: "To start all over again?"

"That's not necessary."

The Jade Emperor shook his head: "Just need some minor opportunities."

He then smiled: "I've had a quite enjoyable time these years."

The Jade Emperor then thought of Wu Xiang.

"Let's not reveal my identity to Wu Xiang just yet."

"Your Majesty, Wu Xiang has disappeared."

At that moment, Gold Star Taibai walked in from outside.

He bowed and said: "Sweeping Star has left the Immortal Records, and took Wu Xiang with her."

"What?"

The Jade Emperor's expression changed slightly: "How long have they been gone?"

"One day."

Gold Star Taibai answered.

"Find them immediately."

The Jade Emperor felt uneasy: "I hope they haven't been captured by my Imperial Brother."

Sweeping Star was one thing, but Wu Xiang absolutely cannot fall into the hands of Wanling Country.

His intelligence is unparalleled; if he were to join forces with Sun Wukong, they could turn heaven and earth upside down!
