The scorching sun hung high in the sky, and on the ruins of Chuanyin Hall, demons were enthusiastically rebuilding the palace with tools in hand.
Water Moon Fairy sat amidst the clouds, her heart brimming with joy as she watched this scene.
Three months after the war had ended, Wanling City returned to peace.
Humans and demons were busy reconstructing Wanling City; even children lent a helping hand, their hands chafed by stones, yet the passion on their faces did not diminish in the slightest.
"Why not assist the Buddha?"
A voice asked from behind Water Moon Fairy.
Without turning, the Fairy replied, "Golden Cicada, you've truly found me."
"Decades have passed."
Elder Jin Chan answered, "Even someone as dull as I would have noticed by now."
He floated to Water Moon Fairy's side.
"Answer me," Elder Jin Chan asked again, "why haven't you helped the Buddha?"
Water Moon Fairy gathered her hair, "He did not ask for my help."
"That is not an answer."
Elder Jin Chan spoke while drifting towards the distance, "Are you also looking forward to the day when the Great Saint engages with Buddhism?"
Water Moon Fairy gazed at the sky before her.
The sky of Wanling Country was a clear blue, cloudless, as transparent as her mood.
The will of Wanling Country had changed, yet some things remained the same.
Seven Spider Demons were still flying kites.
As Water Moon Fairy watched Elder Jin Chan fly farther away, answering now seemed meaningless.
Meanwhile, in the library, the Immortals had begun to study the various Heavenly Books.
Water Virtues Star Monarch held a copy of "Daoist Skill Creation Techniques — Fusion" and after poring over it for a while, he realized something.
"This might be a fake book."
He said such.
He couldn't understand a single word in the entire book!
"That's right."
Not just him, the other Immortals were also agreed they had read fake books.
"We can't understand any of it!"
"It must be nonsense written by the Great Saint!"
These Heavenly Books were filled with a kind of script called Immortal Text, which they couldn't comprehend at all.
"Take a look at this first."
Master Puti came over and handed them "Immortal Text Annotations": "Learn Immortal Text, then you can learn to create Daoist Skills."
Only after opening the annotations did Water Virtues Star Monarch understand that Immortal Text wasn't a script.
Similar to the strokes of script, it could be arranged in varying lengths to construct words with different meanings; with a total of 28 Immortal Text characters, there were countless combinations.
"Why is this so complicated."
Water Virtues Star Monarch scratched his head, "Why did the Great Saint change proper script into Immortal Text?"
"The meaning of script is too strong."
The Grandmaster said, "This Immortal Text is the most ancient script, capable of more precisely constructing Daoist Skills."
The Immortals were half-understanding.
"Grandmaster," Water Virtues Star Monarch asked, "have you mastered all of the Immortal Text?"
"Of course, Immortal Text itself isn't difficult; what's difficult is using it to create Daoist Skills."
The Grandmaster stroked his beard and said, "I have created a Thunder and Lightning Formula; do you want to see it?"
The crowd nodded in unison.
The Grandmaster led them to the center of the library.
There, Immortal Zhenyuan was leading a group of demons in studying a spread-out scroll.
The scroll was the terminal of Wanling Immortal Path; to turn script into Spell, one must use this scroll.
But this scroll was created by Sun Wukong before he went into slumber; to popularize the Immortal Path, it must be created, however Zhenyuan and the others had not yet found the method to create it.
"Immortal, I need to use the scroll."
After a word from the Grandmaster, Immortal Zhenyuan had the demons make way for the Grandmaster to approach the scroll.
The Grandmaster pointed a fingertip, and dense Immortal Text immediately surfaced on the scroll.
He inscribed his newly created Thunder and Lightning Formula on it; however, after waiting for a long while, the inscriptions disappeared, and the scroll remained unresponsive.
How could there be no reaction?
Grandmaster slightly furrowed his brows.
"Is there a mistake in the writing?"
The other Immortals were also confused.
"You all try."
The Grandmaster handed the Immortal Text of the Thunder and Lightning Formula to the other Immortals, who one by one scribed it into scrolls, yet there was still no response.
"There is a character written incorrectly in this Daoist Skill."
A crisp voice arose from behind.
The Grandmaster turned his head and saw Daji walking over.
"Let me help you correct it."
Daji walked over to the scroll, stretched out her hand, and a series of Immortal Texts appeared on the scroll one after another.
Under the astonished gazes of the Immortals, these Immortal Texts did not disappear but instead transformed into streams of light bands that flew out from the scroll.
The light bands hovered in the air, and after a while, they converged and interweaved together, merging into a Round Ball of light.
"This is the Thunder and Lightning Formula."
Daji withdrew her hand and said.
The Grandmaster looked at her: "How are you so proficient?"
"Because I started early."
Daji replied.
She had slept under the Wanling Tree for a long time, understood the essence of the Wanling Immortal Path, and learned quickly.
Water Virtues Star Monarch curiously looked at the Round Ball made of light bands: "Is this thing really thunder and lightning..."
He hadn't finished speaking when an Immortal was struck to the ground, hair standing on end, revealing the answer.
"General Guo Shen!"
The other Immortals quickly pulled General Guo Shen away from the vicinity of the Round Ball.
"This Daoist Skill is too simple."
Daji's eyes flickered: "I can show you something more complex."
She wrote new Immortal Texts on the scroll, and shortly after, a Light Ball appeared in her hand.
"Fusion Skill."
The Grandmaster looked at the Light Ball: "You have even learned this."
"I've learned it."
Daji looked at the Light Ball merging into her body, and when she spoke again, her voice seemed to come from all directions.
"This is the Amplification Technique."
This crisp voice, silently dropped a stone on the Spiritual Network.
Sun Wukong felt that the spark he created had been ignited.
His slumbering consciousness slightly opened his eyelids.
He saw a lone and extremely solitary figure guarding by the bedside.
She guarded day and night, taking a long time before drying her tears, beginning to step forward.
After the rebuilding of Wanling Country, people started moving from the Western Continent.
On this vast land, Immortals and mortals worked together.
Cities rose from the ground, the sparkling Spiritual Network lit up the night sky, spreading towards a broader universe.
Generation after generation of scrolls were transported out of workshops, and the glow of artillery fire appeared on Floating Ships.
And then, shining lights began to flicker in the hands of mortals.
Whether children, adults, or the elderly, all were attracted to this light.
Some were injured by this light, and some even faced life-threatening dangers.
But despite this, they did not stop moving forward, always advancing.
Regardless of wind, rain, sun, they struggled to learn, inspiring all intelligence to create.
Sun Wukong did not know what kind of achievements these mortals would create.
However, the Immortal Dao had been established, and the Heavenly Dao was also within reach.
When he awoke, he would surely see it.
Sun Wukong closed his eyelids, reentering a lengthy slumber.
The Wanling Immortal Path had been set.
With the expectation for the next future, the butterfly in the dream spread its wings.
