Eastern Divine Continent, a beam of Immortal Light burst through the continuous undulating mountaintops.

"This is the Three Realms."

The Immortal Light transformed into a woman with cold eyes, surveying the surrounding environment.

"Nine, hurry and leave that place."

"Don't let Sun Wukong notice you before you understand the Three Realms."

Two voices resounded by her ear, deep and unfathomable.

With one step, the woman reached outside the mountain, and with another step, she was thousands of miles away, amidst another range of mountains.

"This place will do."

She said.

The voices by her ear had also disappeared.

The woman walked on the mountain path, heading towards two faint presences nearby.

Being new here, she needed to find someone to understand this world, a hundred miles away, there was a youngster riding a leopard, dashing through the mountains.

The woman walked slowly, yet she still arrived in front of them, blocking their path.

"Who are you? Why are you blocking the way!"

After the leopard stopped, it roared.

"Demons and humans..."

The woman looked at the leopard and the youngster, a hint of confusion flickering in her mind.

"This human's power is weaker than that of the leopard, so why is he riding on it?"

"The Three Realms, could it be as the pharmacy said, humans and demons have long achieved coexistence?"

Her ear picked up a voice again, but this time, the voice was different from the previous ones.

"Humans and demons, they are all just ants."

Another voice rang out: "Nine, don't waste time."

Upon hearing this, the woman nodded, her silver eyes gazing at the youngster.

"Who are you?"

She started with the simplest question.

"None of your business, get out of the way!"

The leopard clearly had a fiery temper, yet the woman first took control of the youngster, then set her sight on it, and the leopard immediately quieted down like a doused fire, beginning to clearly confess.

It turned out that both the leopard and the youngster were disciples from a Daoist sect, five hundred miles away, who heard that strange events had taken place nearby, both suspecting that Totems were the cause, hence they came to subdue them.

"Totems?"

After the woman listened, she couldn't help but sneer: "You think you can subdue them?"

"It must be Sun Wukong using the Totems for something."

"So ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth."

The voices in her ear turned colder.

The Hongmeng Totems were creations of their lord, and in the Hongmeng Era, ants were not allowed to touch them.

However, times had changed, and everything that was happening now was very different from the past.

The woman then asked the youngster why they wanted to subdue the Totems.

"We want to go to Wanling City to study."

The youngster replied: "Students from the Four Great Divine Continents all wish to go there, the competition is too intense, lately Totems have been causing trouble everywhere, if we can subdue a Totem, it would give us additional points."

"Wanling City?"

The woman then asked the leopard: "Is that the center of the Mortal World?"

"The center of the Mortal World?"

The leopard took a while to understand what the question meant.

"No, Huaguo Mountain is the center of the Mortal World."

It answered: "But we can't go to Huaguo Mountain, we can only go to Wanling City."

It told the woman that both places were where Wanling Heavenly Dao flourished, every year countless students go through selection and elimination to reach these two sacred places, but the competition for Huaguo Mountain was even fiercer, and they didn't have the qualifications.

"Huaguo Mountain, Wanling City."

The woman further inquired about the differences between the two places and learned that Huaguo Mountain was the birthplace of Sun Wukong.

"If that's his birthplace, then it's best to avoid it."

The voice in her ear said: "He has that egg on him, if you get too close, he might sense your presence."

The woman nodded.

"We first need to understand Sun Wukong and what he intends to do with that egg."

She said: "He must be no ordinary individual if he was able to defeat the White Robed Venerate."

"Then head to Wanling City."

Another new voice spoke by her ear: "Nine, you are the most humane among us, infiltrate their ranks, and you will certainly not be detected."

The woman nodded, then glanced at the leopard: "You seem to be hungry."

After leaving that remark, she took a step and her figure disappeared.

Not long after her disappearance, the youngster regained his senses, looking around in confusion.

"Qing'er, why have we stopped?"

He had forgotten everything that just happened.

The leopard, of course, had also forgotten, but compared to that, it was more concerned about something else.

"Meat, meat, I want to eat meat."

With a glint of red in its eyes, the leopard grew agitated: "Give me meat, I'm starving!"

The youngster was startled.

"Wait a second."

He hurriedly got off the leopard, took out a scroll, and conjured a piece of meat, handing it to the leopard.

The leopard devoured the food voraciously and finally sated its hunger, the red in its eyes gradually fading.

"How odd."

After eating its fill, the leopard belched and said: "I was so hungry I almost thought about eating you, I've never been this hungry since I was a cub."

"That's not a funny joke."

The youngster stored the scroll and climbed back onto the leopard: "Let's go find the Totem."

"Let's go!"

The leopard sprang energetically towards their destination.

"The master said if I go to Wanling City, I'll be able to transform ten years earlier."

"I think you're fine as you are."

"Are you an idiot?"
