At the break of dawn, Lady Earth Flow's merchant ship arrived at Wanling City.

"These children are now in your care."

At the harbor, she handed the little demons over to a Fairy Chang'e.

The Fairy Chang'e had founded an orphanage in Wanling Country to shelter orphans, be they human or small demons.

"Don't worry."

The Fairy smiled: "We will take good care of them."

Lady Earth Flow was an acquaintance of theirs, bringing children over every few years.

"Let's go."

Fairy Chang'e took the little demons by the hand.

"Sister."

The little ones looked back at Lady Earth Flow, reluctant to leave.

"Go on, there are more friends over there."

Lady Earth Flow bid them farewell.

After the little demons left, she turned to face the merchant ship.

"Once the cargo is unloaded, you can rest for a few days."

Lady Earth Flow instructed the ship workers, then grabbed the hand of the Scorpion Demoness.

"Sister, let's have more fun this time!"

"Okay, Sister."

The Scorpion Demoness seemed pleased.

They always rushed during their visits to Wanling Country and rarely had the chance to stay for extra days.

"It's been a few years, and this place has become even more beautiful."

The Scorpion Demoness looked around the streets.

Only those who travel consistently could appreciate how beautiful Wanling City really was.

"These decorations weren't here the last time we came."

The Scorpion Demoness noticed that some demons turned off the street decorations, and the runes inside them inverted, causing the lights to go out as well.

"These decorations were made by a human."

Lady Earth Flow said.

"A human?"

The Scorpion Demoness was surprised: "Really?"

"Really, I want to meet that human."

Lady Earth Flow expressed her interest.

She has always been intrigued by clever people.

They hadn't walked far when suddenly, a surprised cry came from the street.

Following the clamor, they looked up to see a golden light streak across the sky and disappear into Wanling Hall.

"It must be the Great Saint returning."

The street's demons began to chatter.

Hearing this, the Scorpion Demoness was delighted: "Sister, the Great Saint is back, will he summon us?"

"No."

Lady Earth Flow shook her head.

They lived in the shadows; every visit to Wanling Country, they had no contact with any Immortal.

This time was no different.

"Sister, when will we ever gain his trust?"

The Scorpion Demoness was getting impatient.

She wondered when their assignment would end.

As they walked on, an Immortal Official appeared in front of them.

"Ladies, the Great Saint invites you."

The invitation from the Immortal Official left them stunned.

"What does the Great Saint want with us?"

The Scorpion Demoness quickly asked.

"The Immortal Official does not know."

The Immortal Official bowed and added: "The Great Saint also instructed that you may bring companions."

The Scorpion Demoness and Lady Earth Flow exchanged glances as if realizing something, both of them filled with joy.

"Sister, let's go get others separately."

The two of them split up to gather their comrades with understanding.

Lady Earth Flow went to a noodle shop and found Immortal Ruyi pulling noodles.

"Welcome—Oh, it's you."

Seeing Lady Earth Flow, Immortal Ruyi furrowed his brow: "I'm on holiday, what do you want?"

"The Great Saint has summoned us."

As soon as Lady Earth Flow said this, Immortal Ruyi's expression changed.

He happily put down the noodles.

"Brother, I'll be right back."

"Hold on."

The Bull Demon King stopped him: "You're not to seek employment from the Great Saint; help in the shop first."

"I don't want to make noodles."

"Stop talking nonsense."

Bull Demon King clenched his teeth: "I must reclaim the title of Wanling Country's number one gourmet."

Immortal Ruyi had no choice but to agree.

Afterward, Lady Earth Flow and the Scorpion Demoness gathered their accomplices, and a group of people arrived at Wanling Hall.

"Greetings, Great Saint!"

They bowed to Sun Wukong, who had recently returned.

"Rise."

Sun Wukong let them stand up and then said, "Do you wish to stay in Wanling Country?"

As soon as this was voiced, although everyone was mentally prepared, they couldn't help but feel joyful.

"Of course, we do."

"We certainly do!"

They all agreed.

These years of hardship had indeed not been in vain.

"Great Saint."

Only Lady Earth Flow, while joyous, also felt puzzled: "Why do you want us to stay?"

"Your value has changed."

Sun Wukong responded this way.

Western Continent was increasingly stable, and the major situation had been settled; he no longer needed these people to do bad things.

"I will assign some tasks to you, if you carry out your duties diligently, maybe you could also become Immortals."

Sun Wukong continued.

No one expected him to say this.

Lady Earth Flow and the Scorpion Demoness looked surprised, their chosen path was indeed not wrong.

"Alright, you can go now."

With a wave of his hand, Sun Wukong had Quiet Officiant lead them down.

After the crowd left, Ao Luan hurriedly rushed back: "Big brother, how come you have returned?"

"I don't need to go out anymore."

Sun Wukong replied.

He had seen too many Spells, he could now read texts directly without examining Spells.

"Come out!"

With a wave of his right hand, countless characters flew out from his sleeve, occupying the entire dome.

Ao Luan watched those glowing characters.

"Those are all Spells."

Sun Wukong explained.

For him, Spells and characters were no longer significantly different.

Sun Wukong then spread his palm again, and the Jade Seal reappeared.

He placed the Jade Seal on the ground, and a light emanated from it, carrying characters that Ao Luan couldn't understand; from simulation to fiction and then to formation, it became a little Light Tree.

The Light Tree stood erect in Wanling Hall, less than a meter tall but its presence was astounding.

The Immortals of Wanling Country were all stirred and ran over.

"Why is there a tree here?"

The first Immortal who arrived was bewildered.

Until Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad arrived, he saw the Light Tree and understood.

"Could this be—"

Lord Lao Zi was a bit skeptical of Sun Wukong's efficiency: "A kite?"

"What?"

The other Immortals were shocked.

"Is a kite a tree?"

"I thought it was a shaved head."

"Yes, this is a kite."

Master Puti also arrived and examined around the Light Tree.

"The tree is just the superficial appearance of the kite; each branch and leaf is a fresh reinterpretation of Immortal Dao."

After observing, the Grandmaster was filled with admiration: "Mortals just have to comprehend one branch, and they can become Immortals."

The Immortals found this unbelievable.

Each branch and leaf was Sun Wukong's reinterpretation of Immortal Dao, meaning this small tree had potentially hundreds of reinterpreted Immortal Daos.

"Great Saint, have you so quickly realized hundreds of types of Immortal Dao?"

The Water Virtues Star Monarch couldn't help asking.

"Quickly?"

Sun Wukong shook his head: "It took me decades from learning to reinterpretation, where was it quick?"

The Grandmaster agreed: "For you, it is indeed not quick."

Yet, the confidence of the other Immortals was severely shaken.

"Great Saint, an extraordinary genius among the heavens."

Lord Lao Zi couldn't help but sigh: "At this pace, perhaps in a few years, you will establish the Wanling Immortal Dao."

This timeframe was three to four decades shorter than everyone's expectations.
