Hongmeng Totems?

Sun Wukong was surprised by the crow's answer.

However, upon further thought, this answer was not unexpected.

If the Wanling Heavenly Dao could absorb those Hongmeng Totems, evolution would indeed be a matter of course.

But this was no simple task.

Sun Wukong looked up at the Wanling Tree, thought for a moment, then drew a circle in mid-air with his hand.

A bright line of fire materialized under his hand, turning into a fiercely burning fire totem.

The totem floated in mid-air, as if it could bake the surrounding air dry.

"Go."

Facing the heat wave of the totem, Sun Wukong said, "Give everything you have to the Heavenly Dao."

The totem hesitated for a moment, then charged toward the Wanling Tree.

Immediately, some sparkles of fire fell from the Wanling Tree, wrapping around the totem and drawing it into the trunk.

"What will happen?"

The immortals managing the Wanling Tree all stopped their work and looked over.

Sun Wukong suddenly frowned.

The next moment, the Wanling Tree abruptly erupted in a fierce blaze, fire lines appeared on the trunk and spread to the branches and leaves, which began to burn.

This scene brought everyone's breath to a halt.

"The Wanling Tree is on fire!"

"Heavenly Emperor, stop it!"

The immortals were in chaos.

With a frown on his face, Sun Wukong's eyes reflected the flames.

This fire was neither mundane fire nor Samadhi Fire, but the True Sun Fire.

"It's okay."

After watching for a while, Sun Wukong said, "This is a process of painful transformation; the Wanling Tree can absorb it."

"But, Heavenly Emperor, it's not just this Wanling Tree that's affected!"

The Earth Virtues Star Monarch, holding the Immortal Mirror, stepped forward and said to Sun Wukong, "This flame is spreading to the mortal world's Wanling Trees through the Spiritual Network. If they are damaged, the whole Three Realms will be in great chaos!"

"Stop it now, Heavenly Emperor!"

All the immortals knelt on the ground in unison.

The Wanling Heavenly Dao was no longer just Sun Wukong's Dao; if something went wrong with it, the entire Three Realms would be cast into turmoil.

Sun Wukong was also clear about this in his heart, and he uttered the word "extinguish."

The fire lines on the Wanling Tree instantly dispersed and disappeared.

"The power of the totems will spread through the Wanling Tree."

Sun Wukong looked at the Wanling Tree, realizing the task he was undertaking was not so simple.

"Brother."

Ao Luan asked Sun Wukong, "Is it feasible?"

After pondering for a moment, Sun Wukong nodded: "It is feasible."

"Please think thrice, Heavenly Emperor!"

The immortals were startled and said, "The power of those totems is too terrifying."

"If they are infused into the Heavenly Dao, we don't know what kind of impact they will have on the Three Realms and the Heavenly Court."

"Please reconsider, Heavenly Emperor!"

They said to Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong shook his head.

"Everyone, through constant growth and change, the Wanling Heavenly Dao has become what it is today."

Ao Luan stepped forward and said, "But the current Dao is not the ultimate end. If brother succeeds, all beings in the Three Realms will benefit from it."

"That's right."

The crow perched on the Wanling Tree also cawed, "You have no idea how powerful the Heavenly Dao can be!"

The immortals opened their mouths but were left speechless.

"Heavenly Emperor, could you possibly inform Emperor Jade?"

The Earth Virtues Star Monarch hesitated but still spoke, "The implications of this are too significant."

It wasn't that he didn't trust Sun Wukong, but he hoped for further consideration.

"Very well."

Sun Wukong nodded.

The Earth Virtues Star Monarch went to contact the Jade Emperor, and Sun Wukong turned to Ao Luan: "Where are the original managers of the Wanling Tree?"

"I've taken them to the Heavenly Court."

Ao Luan replied.

She had moved a lot of people to the Brahma Void Heavenly Court to settle the Wanling Heavenly Dao.

Those now managing the Wanling Tree were originally immortals from the Heavenly Palace, and their thinking was inevitably conservative.

Sun Wukong, after hearing the explanation, had no further comment.

In a short while, the Jade Emperor arrived.

"Those totems, lacking Hongmeng, will ultimately perish."

Sun Wukong said to him, "This is the best of both worlds; while there are risks involved, with the current strength of the Three Realms, they can still be well controlled."

"You're right."

The Jade Emperor nodded: "As the Imperial Brother has made a decision, I shall support it."

"Only, its dangers are indeed too great."

He said to Sun Wukong, "The Earth Virtues Star Monarch has reported to me that the recent changes in the Wanling Tree have spread throughout the Three Realms. If you continue, it's likely not possible to keep it hidden from the mortal nations."

"There is no need for secrecy."

Sun Wukong answered, "To deal with it, all nations must be vigilant about the influence on the Wanling Trees; let it be open."

He knew the importance of the Heavenly Dao; if left unsaid, any incident in the future might cause widespread panic.

By making it public, with a unified effort, it would be easier to resolve any issues.

"Have you thought this through, my Imperial Brother?"

The Jade Emperor spoke again, "As the Heavenly Emperor, if you go public, it may impact your reputation in the Three Realms."

"No matter."

Sun Wukong said, "This is the right thing to do and must be done."

The Jade Emperor nodded, pleased in his heart. Sun Wukong was unshackled by moral constraints; as long as he determined the right direction, he would go forth.

"That's very good."

The Jade Emperor turned around and said to the immortals, "You have all heard what the Imperial Brother said. From now on, cooperate well with him!"

The immortals were stunned, then nodded with ashamed faces.

This forthright approach was typical of Sun Wukong.
