After the release of the Talisman Mirror, Sun Wukong became highly sought after.

Various industries sought him out, hoping to use the runes of the Wanling Immortal Path to transform their Spiritual Objects.

Sun Wukong, eager to hasten the development of Wanling Country, took the matters seriously, keeping himself extremely busy.

When he came to his senses, he found Merit Flames falling upon him.

"Where did these come from?"

Sun Wukong touched the flames, and immediately, a scene of scholars kneeling before a statue appeared.

"Thanks be to Heavenly Venerate, thanks be to Heavenly Venerate!"

They were thanking Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong calculated with his fingers and understood the reason.

It turned out that many human children had learned to read through the Shadow Talisman, and instead of decreasing, the number of students in various academies had increased.

This phenomenon was not surprising.

Apart from the academies, various humans benefited, bringing considerable merit to Sun Wukong.

However, the merit had little use for Sun Wukong now.

"Let it go there."

Sun Wukong waved his hand, and the Merit Flames drifted towards the sky.

The accumulated merit was Sun Wukong's key to future victories.

He did not want anyone to see through all his cards, so he continued to hide his skills diligently.

At this time, a long-unseen figure came to Wanling Hall.

"Zhang Liang, you're not busy with alchemy; why the free time to come here today?"

Sun Wukong asked with a smile.

"Great Saint."

Zhang Liang bowed and said, "The Crown Prince is seriously ill."

"The Crown Prince?"

Sun Wukong was shocked to hear this.

The Crown Prince Zhang Liang referred to was none other than Liu Qi, with whom he had a deep and extended companionship.

He was no longer the Crown Prince but the emperor of the Southern Continent.

"Has fate not changed?"

Sun Wukong thought to himself.

Liu Qi's reign would not be long, which he had foreseen.

He had hoped that after spending many years learning and living in Huaguo Mountain, Liu Qi might last a little longer, but it turned out to be even shorter than expected.

There must be a problem.

"Great Saint..."

Zhang Liang clasped his hands and said, "Could you save the Crown Prince?"

"I'll go and see."

Sun Wukong stood up and headed to Chang'an City.

Different from the last time, he directly infiltrated the Imperial Palace.

Upon finding Liu Qi's room, Sun Wukong saw a young man.

The new Crown Prince already resembled a handsome and heroic young man.

"Father, no more words; my master said that the country of Wanling is heretical!"

The spirited young Crown Prince declared, "I will never let the Southern Continent fall into their hands."

Hearing this, Sun Wukong slightly frowned; the thinking of the Crown Prince was indeed influenced by the Heavenly Palace.

After the Crown Prince left, Sun Wukong appeared before Liu Qi.

"I knew you would come."

A joyful expression appeared on Liu Qi's pale face, "Great Saint, about my Crown Prince..."

Sun Wukong shook his head.

"He is intelligent and bright; it's just a misunderstanding for now, but eventually, he will see clearly."

"But how long is eventually?"

Liu Qi asked.

Sun Wukong did not respond.

"I am a cultivator, and yet I have become increasingly weak over the years; Great Saint, do you know why?"

Liu Qi asked again.

Sun Wukong knew that it was most likely the work of Gouchen, the Heavenly Venerate.

This occasion might allow Sun Wukong to take Liu Qi away, as the opposition might not even try to prevent it to avoid conflict.

"Great Saint, save the Southern Continent."

Liu Qi said.

He had understood too much over the years.

"These celestial Immortals and Buddhas, all high and mighty, treat us like ants. The Crown Prince trusts them, but he will inevitably be harmed by them in the future."

"Only you, Great Saint, truly consider the well-being of all beings."

Sun Wukong sighed and released a wave of Immortal Energy, putting Liu Qi to sleep.

The chess piece of Emperor Donghua has returned to the Southern Continent.

But the time is not right, Sun Wukong could not intervene too much.

He took Liu Qi to Huaguo Mountain, along with his father.

Afterward, he returned to Wanling City.

Recalling the changes in the Southern Continent, Sun Wukong felt that his own transformation was still one step behind the Jade Emperor.

He improved various sectors, bringing significant changes to Wanling Country, and the strategies for conquering the Western Continent were quickly advancing.

Yet ultimately, the 'kite' was the key.

"We can't wait twenty years."

Thinking this, Sun Wukong brought Ao Luan to the underground palace of Wanling City.

This place was teeming with Demons, guarding the source of Spiritual Energy of Wanling Country.

Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad was studying the kite beside the Spiritual Spring.

"Lord, is there enough Spiritual Energy here?"

Sun Wukong approached and asked.

"Enough."

Lord Lao Zi nodded, the Spiritual Energy in Wanling Country was very abundant.

"Great Saint, the Spiritual Energy is not a problem... the problem is that we can't find a suitable material container."

He looked at the scattered treasures on the ground; Lord had tried all the materials on him, but none could withstand too much Spiritual Energy.

The kite needed to not only bear Spiritual Energy but also carry the essence of Immortal Dao.

"The materials for the kite are extremely precious."

Lord Lao Zi said, "Even with the treasure vault of the Heavenly Palace, it would probably take forty years to gather the materials."

"Is it that hard to find?"

"Extremely difficult, even impossible..."

Lord Lao Zi looked at Sun Wukong, "Great Saint, have you considered another option?"

Sun Wukong furrowed his brows. "The Jade Seal."

Lord Lao Zi nodded.

The Heavenly Venerate Seal was the most suitable medium, there is no better treasure than it.

It itself is a manifestation of the Heavenly Dao, sentient, and the essence of Wanling Immortal Dao was in the Jade Seal; it wouldn't require much modification to succeed.

"Great Saint could cut the Jade Seal to make the kite, the chances of success are high, and it could save twenty or thirty years."

Lord Lao Zi said, "But the Jade Seal is very special, pulling one hair and moving the whole body, the risk is also especially high, it could easily shake the Heavenly Rules."

He reminded Sun Wukong, "Once the Jade Seal shows any anomaly, the agreement you and His Majesty set might also be broken."

Sun Wukong nodded, of course he knew.

Because the Heavenly Venerate Seal shouldn't be touched, he hadn't considered it until now.

"I can't touch the Jade Seal, I can only give guidance to the Great Saint."

Lord Lao Zi bowed his hands, saying, "If the Great Saint is willing, I can teach you the method to make the kite."

Sun Wukong sighed and left the underground palace.

As he walked, Ao Luan followed behind.

"Brother."

Ao Luan was worried he was disappointed.

"A gap of twenty to thirty years."

Sun Wukong looked up at the sky, "It's too much."

So much can change in twenty to thirty years; Wanling Country had undergone earth-shattering changes even in just the ten or so years he was away.

Now tofu has even surpassed Bull Demon King's ramen, becoming the most popular food in Wanling Country!

Sun Wukong thought about this and felt that time really can change everything.

He must seize the time.

Sun Wukong made a decision: "I will use the Jade Seal to carry the Immortal Dao."

"Brother..."

Ao Luan stopped, "Are we too useless?"

"No, you all did very well."

Sun Wukong denied it, not everyone is him.

He cannot expect everyone to keep up with him.

It's fine if people in Wanling City can't learn Immortal Dao now, Sun Wukong could simplify the Wanling Immortal Path while improving the runes.

He had studied the Talismanic Diagrams and Records and had now found a way.
