After the establishment of Wanling Immortal Sect, the immortals from the Heavenly Palace came to offer their congratulations.

Sun Wukong entertained them in the Treasure Hall, while Daji, with a few maids, moved the spoils won from gambling and some congratulatory gifts to her own room.

"Be careful, these are all treasures."

She kept reminding them.

A maid was carrying a sword box and tripped, causing a red immortal sword to fly out of the box and whizzed past her.

Blood gushed from the maid's arm.

"Come back."

Seeing this, Daji quickly grabbed the immortal sword back.

She placed the immortal sword into the box and sealed it, then looked at the maid strangely: "Aren't you fairies? How come your mana is so weak?"

These maids were fairies sent by the Queen Mother to serve her, originally from the Pixiang Palace.

"Fairy, we are not cultivators who have attained the Dao and ascended to immortality."

The maid replied: "We were mortals who did many good deeds. After death, we ascended to the Immortal Realm through reincarnation and transformed into fairies."

There were many such lesser immortals in the Heavenly Palace, all of whom had ascended through reincarnation. Some were even transformed by immortals, and while they had immortal bodies, they lacked supernatural powers.

Strictly speaking, they were just attendants to the immortals.

"What is reincarnation?"

Daji was evidently more interested in reincarnation.

"It's the Six Paths of Reincarnation."

The maid explained: "Those who do good ascend to the Immortal Path, the loyal ascend to the Noble Path, the filial reincarnate to the Blessed Path, the fair return to the Human Path, the virtuous transmigrate to the Wealth Path, and the evil sink to the Ghost Path."

"Then I must have come from the seventh path."

Daji said.

The maid's face was full of astonishment: "What is the seventh path?"

"The Path of Beauty."

Daji swept her long hair behind her ears, confident that in her previous life she must have been a beautiful woman.

"The Great King came from the eighth path."

Daji continued: "His heart is so kind, he must have come from the Path of Good People."

"There is no such path!"

At this moment, Sun Wukong walked over.

"Great King."

Daji turned her head: "Have all the immortals left?"

"No."

Sun Wukong shook his head: "They want me to introduce them to the Sect Master of Wanling Immortal Sect."

Daji was stunned: "Isn't that the Great King?"

"I have thought of a better candidate."

Sun Wukong said.

Daji felt something was wrong and took off running.

"Come back."

Sun Wukong reached out and grabbed her, bringing her back: "Why are you running?"

"I don't want to be the Sect Master."

"I didn't say you had to be, did I?"

Daji stopped running: "Really?"

"You just have to help me manage it for a bit."

Sun Wukong said.

Daji started struggling fiercely.

She had been tricked once and did not want to be fooled a second time.

"I want to return to Wanling Country."

Daji tried to shake off Sun Wukong's hand while speaking; being a Sect Master was definitely a boring and arduous task, nowhere near as good as going back to singing.

Sun Wukong pondered for a moment: "Daji, do you still remember the Kirin Arm from back then?"

"Ah, ah! I agreed!"

Daji held her head, wishing she could wrap herself entirely with her tail.

"I agreed, Great King, please let me go!"

Sun Wukong let her go: "Then come out with me."

He turned and walked away, and Daji released her hands, staring resentfully at his back.

"I take back what I said."

She said to the fairy, "This Monkey King is absolutely the reincarnation of a Rakshasa demon!"

The fairy was somewhat astonished.

The next day, Sun Wukong handed over the Wanling Immortal Sect to Daji and left alone.

He was discovered by Heavenly Master Zhang Daoling on the road.

"Where is the Great Saint heading?"

Zhang Daoling flew over and asked.

"Taking a look everywhere."

Sun Wukong replied, he still had a superficial understanding of the Eastern Divine Continent and planned to travel and survey the entire continent.

The Eastern Divine Continent was different from the Western Continent; the Wanling Immortal Path here could not be developed blindly and should be adapted to local conditions with proper overall planning.

"In that case, I will accompany the Great Saint on the investigation."

Zhang Daoling volunteered.

He believed that Sun Wukong wouldn't cause troubles for the local Taoist sects, but it would be more reassuring to stand by and watch, so as to avoid any conflicts.

Naturally, Sun Wukong did not reject him.

Together, they arrived at the foot of Kunlun Mountain.

"What kind of Immortal Dao does the Great Saint intend to develop?"

While surveying the area, Zhang Daoling asked.

"It depends on what's suitable."

Sun Wukong responded, "Different regions require different plans for complementary effects."

He only stayed at the foot of the mountain for half a day.

After leaving the foot of Kunlun Mountain, the two went to Luli Country.

"The humans here previously lived by making colored glaze, which was so exquisite that even the Heavenly Palace's colored glaze cups were modeled after the ones from here."

Zhang Daoling served as a guide for Sun Wukong.

Luli Country was once very prosperous, until Huaguo Mountain rose to prominence and the demons produced even better-colored glaze, causing the country to gradually decline.

Following the descent of the Three Thousand Immortal Paths, Luli Country's colored glaze was even less sought after.

"I can teach them the art of glassmaking."

Sun Wukong said.

Colored glaze was not a remarkable industry, but combined with the crystal-clear properties of glass, it was enough to support a small nation.

However, the demand for colored glaze was limited in the Four Great Divine Continents, and this industry alone could not sustain the development of the entire Eastern Divine Continent.

Sun Wukong continued the investigation with Zhang Daoling, hoping to find a pillar industry.

The two Divine Continents had their own unique features; Sun Wukong sought to find the fastest way to develop them, in summary, to consider both the Western and Eastern Divine Continents as one entity in his planning.

Such a planning method greatly surprised Zhang Daoling.

Even during the reign of the Jade Emperor over the Three Realms, he had never heard of such grand planning.

"The Great Saint truly possesses the grandeur of a Heavenly Venerate."

Zhang Daoling thought to himself, feeling admiration.

The investigation by Sun Wukong was extremely fast; every place he went through, he could quickly grasp the situation.

As a Heavenly Venerate, he did not need to inquire about the details from others; wherever he went, a calculation with his fingers would reveal all he needed to know.

"The Eastern Divine Continent truly is a land blessed with outstanding people and a spiritual energy."

Having explored a large part of the continent, Sun Wukong couldn't help but express his sentiment: "This place is a perfect breeding ground for herbal medicines."

Even without completing the journey, he already had some ideas.

The density of spiritual energy in the Eastern Divine Continent was not inferior to that of the Western Continent after establishing the Spiritual Network, and it would continue to grow as the Wanling Immortal Path fermented.

This was a fertile land suitable for demons' growth and herbal cultivation, not suited for industrial creation, but it could undergo development in medicinal Immortal Dao, as well as expansion in industries such as alchemy.

"We must bring Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad here."

Sun Wukong thought.

However, if he called one of The Three Pure Ones to assist, the Jade Emperor certainly wouldn't suffer a loss and would send one of the other two Pure Ones to Wanling Country.

"Let it be."

Sun Wukong made a decision; one of The Three Pure Ones would not disturb the balance of Wanling Country.

"Go."

Sun Wukong sent an avatar flying toward Wanling Country.

"Has the Great Saint completed the planning?"

Zhang Daoling watched the retreating golden light and asked.

"Still need to look further."

Sun Wukong shook his head.

The general planning was already finished, but the specifics still had to be determined after the investigation was complete.
