Kingdom of Miefa, Daji wore a trailing multi-flowered dress, spinning in front of the mirror.

"Beautiful indeed."

After observing for a long time, Daji asked, "Isn't the color too garish?"

"Great King, you look beautiful in anything."

The Fox Demon dressing her said.

Daji took another look, "You're right, I'll wear this."

She had a performance soon and instructed the Fox Demon to hurry in dressing her up.

At that moment, a Demon King with a green face and sharp teeth suddenly charged into the tent.

"Who are you? Leave at once."

The Fox Demon angrily said.

No sooner had the words left her mouth, a group of Heavenly Soldiers rushed in, and bound the Demon King, who was staring at Daji like a petrified chicken.

"Frightening the Fairy."

The leader, Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy, limping in, apologized to Daji, "He is a fugitive, I'll take him away immediately."

Daji curiously looked at Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy, "What happened to your leg?"

"Just a minor injury from battle."

Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy didn't want to elaborate, gave a bow, and withdrew.

The Heavenly Soldiers also took away the Demon King, while the Fox Demon looked strangely at their retreating figures.

"Great King, why do fugitives always seek you out?"

"They want to see me."

Daji replied as if it were obvious.

In these years, Wanling Country had captured many demons; many ran towards her before incarceration.

"Being too beautiful is also a sin."

Daji remarked, but these troubles didn't bother her much, she paid them no mind.

In the sky, the Heavenly Soldiers were flying the rebelling demons towards Wanling City.

"Didn't expect to encounter Miss Daji's tour."

Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy said, "Regrettably, I have duties, missing the chance."

"Marshal, the demons we captured this time are from the Western Continent."

The Heavenly Soldiers expressed their confusion, "Why would they rebel?"

"What else?"

Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy scoffed, "The demons of the Demon Kingdom are experts at seducing people; they must have been manipulated."

Wanling Country had been peaceful for too long, over fifty or sixty years of comfort makes people easily swayed.

Even Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy almost fell for the beauty trick of the Demon Kingdom, fortunately, his resolve was strong, and he did not betray Wanling Country.

"That Demon Kingdom is truly a disaster!"

The Heavenly Soldiers said indignantly, "Why doesn't the higher authority dispatch troops and capture them all?"

"It's not that easy."

Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy replied, "The Six-Eared Macaque anticipates the future, sending troops might make the demons of the Demon Kingdom hide in the Three Great Continents beforehand, besides..."

He paused, "The key also lies with us."

Limited disturbances might not be entirely bad for Wanling Country.

Changes in people's hearts spurred by the Demon Kingdom could allow Wanling Country's administration to better understand its own issues, address the problems accurately, and find long-lasting solutions.

The Immortals were already doing this.

Local demons from the Western Continent were being captured and subjected to investigation of their ideological shifts.

The person in charge of this was Elder Jin Chan.

However, this time back, Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy only met Elder Guang Hui.

"Lock them up first."

Elder Guang Hui imprisoned the demons in the temple, then served Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy and his party a vegetarian meal.

"Why isn't Elder Jin Chan here?"

Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy asked.

"He has gone to deliver scriptures to the monks of the Zhuzi Country."

Elder Guang Hui's face sank instantly.

The number of monks in Zhuzi Country had increased greatly recently. Their investigation revealed that these monks would wake up in the morning to wash their faces, and end their nights tidying up and burning incense, all while doing only one thing: chanting sutras and praying to Buddha. They didn't have to prepare meals three times a day as they relied on the offerings from others, without any worry about food or drink.

"Those greedy and lazy people have all become monks."

Elder Guang Hui was annoyed: "This is absurd, it damages the reputation of our Buddhist sect!"

Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy and the Heavenly Soldiers exchanged glances, feeling that the monks in Zhuzi Country were not at fault.

Before the birth of Wanling Country, such actions by monks in temples around the world were not uncommon, and no one had ever raised objections.

The strange ones should be Elder Guang Hui and Elder Jin Chan.

That autumn, Sun Wukong left Kunlun Mountain and traveled around the Southern Continent and the Eastern Divine Continent.

The Golden Path had been completely opened. Cities thrived along this path, and each place was undergoing rapid transformation. After a few years, they had significantly changed from their original appearances.

The Human Clan on the Southern Continent had moved past their division and everywhere there was a sense of prosperity.

Compared to the Southern Continent, the Eastern Continent was developing later but at a faster pace.

Thanks to its favorable natural environment, industries like alchemy were gradually relocating there, and conflicts between the Taoist Sect of the Three Thousand Immortal Paths and the secular royal power had also lessened.

Sun Wukong also dropped by to check on the seven Spider Demons.

The seven little fellows were still the same, living each day carefree and joyously.

Seeing their smiles, Sun Wukong should feel happy, yet for some reason, he was recently filled with an inexplicable restlessness.

This might be because he sensed Buddha's influence expanding steadily.

The development of the Wanling Immortal Path had not hindered the progress of the Pure Land; on the contrary, over the past few years, more and more people in the Three Great Continents had turned to Buddhism.

Sun Wukong found it challenging.

After returning to Kunlun Mountain, Master Puti brought some newly compiled books to him.

Over the years, Master Puti had been observing the developments in productivity and social progress, continually revising his teachings. He visited Sun Wukong every year to review them.

After reading the books, Sun Wukong brought up his recent travels.

"It seems that the Southern Continent hasn't been greatly affected by the Demon Kingdom."

His most important conclusion was this: "Master never mentioned it, but the events in Wanling Country must have been deliberately instigated by the Six-Eared Macaque."

It was a simple truth. Why would demons who defected from the Demon Kingdom ignore humans and specifically target the Western Continent instead?

Grandmaster sighed.

"It can't be said to be instigation."

He didn't want to elaborate, but ultimately, Sun Wukong had noticed and had to acknowledge it.

The Six-Eared Macaque didn't overtly instruct the demons to cause disturbances in the Western Continent, but it seemed that those demons interested in the Western Continent found it easier to leave the Demon Kingdom, clearly due to his non-interference.

"Why would the Six-Eared Macaque do this?"

Sun Wukong asked: "What did Buddha tell him?"

"I don't know that."

Master Puti shook his head: "It's rare for us to meet; let's not talk about this. How is your Immortal Dao research going?"

"I haven't found any leads."

Sun Wukong replied.

His knowledge seemed sufficient, but he was still unable to find the crucial element.

The most frustrating thing was that he didn't even know what that thing was.

"This is cultivating the Heavenly Dao; it's normal to have no leads."

Grandmaster nodded: "Do not rush, one wrong step leads to many errors."

"Yes."

Sun Wukong nodded in agreement.

He silently drank his tea.

Grandmaster watched him, feeling a touch of compassion.

This person, nominally his disciple, had actually long surpassed him.

Sun Wukong was wiser than many imagined, and it was only a matter of time before he would find that crucial element.
