Sun Wukong shattered the last Spirit Tree of Wanling.
After the destruction, he casually waved his hand and struck a flashing rune into the Immortal Stone.
"What is the Great King doing?"
A head wearing a crown popped up beside him.
Sun Wukong looked at her: "You just became the Fox King, don't you need to attend to your guests?"
Half a day hadn't passed yet, and Daji had run out.
"It's too much trouble."
Daji said: "I've left a clone over there."
She heard that Sun Wukong was destroying the Spirit Tree of Wanling and came over out of curiosity.
"Great King, is the spirit network here the same as that of Wanling Country?"
Daji asked. The aura of the spirit network in the Huaguo Mountain was very similar to that of Western Continent.
"Basically the same."
Sun Wukong replied: "But different from the Southern Continent."
The spirit networks of Western Continent and Huaguo Mountain were managed by him, while the spirit network of Southern Continent belonged to no one.
Freedom for the spirit network was a good thing, but on the other hand, since there was no owner, the spirit network of Southern Continent was difficult to modify.
Considering this, Sun Wukong did not give up control of the spirit networks of Western Continent and Huaguo Mountain.
He could also continue to improve the Wanling Immortal Path through learning in the future.
"Wanling Immortal Path is not unchangeable."
Sun Wukong said as he took Daji away: "I can even perfect it further."
He and Daji then visited the Immortal Language Academy.
The Immortal Language Academy of Huaguo Mountain wasn't as vast as that of Wanling City, but it was not too shabby, and the Heavenly Books had been copied over.
"Ao Luan has done well."
Sun Wukong was very satisfied.
Ao Luan had obviously not forgotten to build up Huaguo Mountain.
With these Heavenly Books, his work throughout the Eastern Continent also became simpler.
"No wonder the Six-Eared Macaque is interested in this place."
Sun Wukong thought.
He learned the reasons behind that incident from the mouths of the Long Armed Ape Monkey.
The Six-Eared Macaque, in order to steal the Heavenly Book from Huaguo Mountain, lured disciples from the Three Thousand Immortal Paths to cause a ruckus, and in the chaos, diverted Golden Winged Great Peng's attention.
"The four Heavenly Masters who came to find me, most likely want to talk about the Six-Eared Macaque."
Sun Wukong thought to himself.
The next day, Heavenly Masters Zhang Daoling, Xu Jingyang, Ge Xianweng, and Qiu Hongji arrived.
These four Heavenly Masters worked in the Tongming Hall and could be said to be the secretaries of the Jade Emperor.
They were not as high in status as Gold Star Taibai, but many affairs were communicated to the Jade Emperor through them, so naturally they were well-informed.
Sun Wukong did not neglect them and specially instructed the Jade-faced Fox to lay out a banquet to receive them.
He also invited the Bull Demon King and his and Jade-faced Fox's son.
"It doesn't seem to be Red Boy."
Sun Wukong sized up the toddler-sized child; he couldn't tell what kind of demon he was, and his personality was somewhat introverted, not as arrogant as he imagined.
That was normal, after all, the mother has changed.
The Jade-faced Fox noticed Sun Wukong's attention on her son.
"Great King, is there something wrong with my child?"
She asked.
Sun Wukong shook his head: "No."
Though the child was small, the mana within him was not shallow.
"Little guy, come here."
Sun Wukong called the little child over and pinched him: "Do you have any special skills?"
"Yes."
The little child happily displayed his special skills in front of Sun Wukong.
The crowd applauded one after another.
"This noodle pulling is really good."
"He has his dad's style!"
The crowd was full of praise, but Sun Wukong was somewhat speechless.
"Why is it noodle pulling?"
"Because everyone likes noodle pulling."
The child said: "I want to bring smiles to others just like my father."
My goodness—Sun Wukong swore that this kid was definitely not Red Boy.
Nevertheless, he still rewarded the little guy with some snacks.
"The Great Saint is indeed skilled in teaching."
The four Heavenly Masters couldn't help but feel moved upon seeing this scene.
It was their first time at Huaguo Mountain, yet they felt that the demons here were all exceptionally well-taught.
"Does Heavenly Master Qiu not eat spicy food?"
Jade-faced Fox suddenly spoke up, having noticed that Qiu Hongji only ate bland dishes and was worried she might not have been a good host.
"I will have it changed for you."
"No need, no need..."
Qiu Hongji waved his hand: "I have some internal heat, I avoid spicy food."
"How can an Immortal have internal heat?"
Jade-faced Fox laughed.
"Immortals naturally can have internal heat."
Qiu Hongji gave a wry smile, looking at Sun Wukong: "Great Saint, is it possible to lift the curse?"
Sun Wukong took a sip of tea.
"It will be gone in a few days, no need to worry."
Jade-faced Fox was immediately taken aback.
"What's going on?"
She asked Daji.
Daji shook her head, indicating she also did not know.
"Back when Great Saint was creating the Immortal Dao, Your Majesty went to stop him."
Zhang Daoling opened his mouth to speak: "Great Saint cast a curse upon the Immortals."
That was already fifty years ago.
Because the curse had not yet dissipated, many Immortals were still affected.
"What kind of curse?"
Daji asked, curious.
"It varies."
The other two Heavenly Masters answered: "They are all small curses, differing from person to person."
"What are some examples?"
Daji blinked: "Are there any?"
"Some are maladies, some are pranks."
Zhang Daoling answered: "Just nuisances, better than those long-haired monks."
"Long-haired monks?"
Daji was surprised: "Are there any?"
"Yes."
The Heavenly Masters nodded.
"Great King, you've really gone too far."
Daji said to Sun Wukong.
But her face was full of smiles.
Although there were some minor conflicts, after the banquet, Sun Wukong and the four Heavenly Masters became warmer towards each other.
The four Heavenly Masters came to see him, indeed, it was about the Six-Eared Macaque.
Now in the Eastern Continent, Taoist sects are everywhere, and the power of the monarchy has been significantly weakened.
The only enemy of the Three Thousand Immortal Paths is the Six-Eared Macaque. He, together with the demons, occupies the land of two nations and is the strongest power in the Eastern Continent outside the Three Thousand Immortal Paths.
The four Heavenly Masters asked Sun Wukong how to deal with the Six-Eared Macaque.
Sun Wukong found it a bit tricky and didn't rush to make a decision.
"Did the Jade Emperor intentionally leave the Six-Eared Macaque for me to deal with?"
After seeing off the four Heavenly Masters, Sun Wukong couldn't help but wonder.
However, it was unlikely, as the Jade Emperor had not foreseen the events of today.
Perhaps it had other uses initially—
But now, it seems like it was all a pitfall left by the Jade Emperor.
"To establish authority, yet also to eradicate threats."
Sun Wukong sighed: "What a cunning fellow."
In Wanling City, the Jade Emperor sneezed.
"Your Majesty, are you overworking yourself?"
Gold Star Taibai handed him some tea.
"If I am not diligent, it won't do."
The Jade Emperor picked up his tea, sighed and said: "Imperial Brother understands the Immortal Dao, while I am completely ignorant of the Wanling Immortal Path; if I don't study it well, I will struggle to make a single step in Wanling Hall."
He looked at the vast array of Heavenly Books laid out before him and couldn't help sighing.
He wondered how Sun Wukong's mind worked, able to remember so much.
The Jade Emperor finished the tea in one gulp and submerged himself back in the sea of books.
"Your Majesty, Great Emperor Zhenwu invites you for a drink tonight."
"Not going."
The Jade Emperor waved his hand: "I'm studying now, I won't go anywhere."
