The Five Finger Mountain pressed down on Galuo.
Sun Wukong gazed down at the massive peak from the sky, feeling a subtle sensation.
Back when he read the Heavenly Book, his biggest dream was to not be controlled by the Tathāgata. Unexpectedly, today, he was the one using the Five Finger Mountain to suppress others.
But, to be honest, *this feeling was pretty good.*
"Brother!"
Immortal Zhenyuan's icy face appeared before Sun Wukong.
Before he could question him, Sun Wukong spoke first, "Immortal, I plan to modify your horsetail whisk to make it stronger."
"What?"
Immortal Zhenyuan was taken aback, his anger turning to joy, "Really?"
"Really."
Sun Wukong nodded.
Immortal Zhenyuan's anger immediately disappeared.
With a face full of smiles, he handed the horsetail whisk to Sun Wukong and then listened to him saying he was going to Wushan.
"Wushan? The matchmaking is not continuing?"
Immortal Zhenyuan asked in surprise.
"No, it's not."
Sun Wukong shook his head.
He had discussed it with the Goddess and decided the matchmaking wasn't necessary.
Sun Wukong sent an Immortal Talisman to Qingtui Tower, and shortly after, a group of them took to the sky.
"Are you all going to Wushan too?"
Immortal Zhenyuan looked towards the Jade Maiden, the Heavenly Dog, and the Heavenly Horse.
"Yes."
The Jade Maiden nodded.
"Let's go."
Sun Wukong turned and led the way. Seeing the Five Finger Mountain again, he felt uneasy and sent out another Immortal Talisman, imprinting it on the mountain.
This way, Galuo could never come out again.
The group arrived at Wushan.
The gates of the Immortal Palace were wide open, and they weren't stopped at all.
They walked into the Immortal Palace, and the Goddess was issuing an eviction order to her disciples.
"You have accompanied me for many years, but ultimately, you are not the one I am looking for. I've decided to abandon the search for a husband. You may leave now."
Her tone was firm, and the disciples, one by one, found it difficult to accept but couldn't resist. They tearfully left the Immortal Palace.
Immortal Zhenyuan watched as beams of light flew away from the Immortal Palace.
"Why drive them away?"
He asked.
"What we need to do cannot be known to them."
Sun Wukong replied.
The Goddess of Wushan nodded, "Once they have left, please create a barrier here at Wushan for both of you."
Sun Wukong agreed.
After some discussion, the responsibility of creating the barrier at Wushan fell to Sun Wukong.
The others were to investigate the situation of Langya Pond to see if Spiritual Energy there was sufficient to support the cultivation of the Shattering Void.
In the following day, Sun Wukong, without much effort, erected a vast barrier around Wushan.
This barrier could not be visually detected, but anyone who intruded would find themselves lost and naturally exit.
The others quickly found the results.
"We must restore Langya Pond to its former state. There is too little Spiritual Energy here."
The Jade Maiden reported to Sun Wukong that the power of Langya Pond was insufficient for his cultivation, and even less so to ensure the safety of the Wushan Goddess.
They would have to recover the Langya Pond of the past.
"What do I have to do?"
Sun Wukong straightforwardly asked the key question.
"The underground Spirit Vein is blocked. I can unblock it, construct a Spiritual Network, and expedite the rejuvenation of Langya Pond."
Immortal Zhenyuan said, "But for that, Brother, you need to draw Spiritual Energy from various places."
"...Okay."
After some contemplation, Sun Wukong nodded.
Immortal Zhenyuan then set out to unblock the Spirit Veins.
He had once overseen the entire construction of the Spiritual Network of Wanling Country, and Sun Wukong had the Jade Maiden and others assist him.
"Immortal, what are nodes?"
The inexperienced Jade Maiden and the others didn't even know what nodes were.
Immortal Zhenyuan had no choice but to teach them step by step.
Viewed from the sky, Langya Pond was a circular Heavenly Pond, but its Spirit Veins weren't on the surface; they were hidden at the bottom of the lake.
Every day, Immortal Zhenyuan donned iridescent bubbles to enter the lakebed, clearing Spirit Veins and establishing nodes. The Heavenly Dog and Heavenly Horse didn't learn quickly, but with the Earth Mother Immortal Power, finding Spirit Veins was a breeze for the Jade Maiden, and she quickly got the hang of it.
To better gather Spiritual Energy, Immortal Zhenyuan even planned to alter the surrounding mountains and terrain of Langya Pond, moving mountains and filling seas, restoring it to its state from tens of thousands of years ago.
Through their efforts, Langya Pond rapidly transformed, with the Spiritual Energy at the bottom of the lake becoming rich and dense.
Layers of white mist floated atop the lake, making it resemble an Immortal Realm.
The Jade Maiden and others could autonomously construct nodes now.
Immortal Zhenyuan sighed in relief, lounging on a pine tree by the lake, supervising the Jade Maiden and others at work.
"Immortal, are you thirsty?"
A shadow appeared beside him.
Immortal Zhenyuan turned his head and saw the Goddess of Wushan offering him tea.
Just as he was about to refuse, he caught the scent of flowers emanating from the water and accepted it.
"You actually have such nice things!"
Immortal Zhenyuan stated.
"Immortal, your hard work is greatly appreciated."
The Goddess said.
"No need to be so formal."
Immortal Zhenyuan gazed at the lake, "Once the Spiritual Network is established, in less than a month, this place will return to its appearance from tens of thousands of years ago."
"A month? That fast?"
The Goddess was astonished, "I've heard that restoring a Grotto Heaven is extremely difficult and requires auspicious birds and beasts to guard it."
"Auspicious birds and beasts?"
Immortal Zhenyuan couldn't help but burst into laughter, "Isn't there one already?"
"There is?"
The Goddess was somewhat puzzled.
"Brother is transformed from an Immortal Stone, comparable to a hundred auspicious birds and beasts."
Immortal Zhenyuan said.
What existence in this world had more innate spirituality than Sun Wukong, a naturally formed Stone Monkey?
Only then did the Goddess understand.
No wonder Langya Pond was being restored so quickly.
She rejoiced, feeling that it wouldn't be long before she was saved.
The two of them chatted for a bit longer, gradually becoming acquainted.
"What kind of Star Official does the Immortal represent?"
The Goddess asked about matters of the Three Realms.
"That is the Three Realms, far surpassing this place..."
Immortal Zhenyuan delved into his memories.
He recounted to the Goddess tales of the Three Realms, and halfway through, it morphed into stories of Sun Wukong, with an expression full of excitement.
The Goddess had heard of them from the Jade Maiden, but it was nowhere near as clear as Immortal Zhenyuan's account. After listening, she was greatly impressed.
"The Heavenly Emperor truly has the bearing of an emperor."
She heard Immortal Zhenyuan's fondness for Sun Wukong in his words.
At the same time, the Goddess greatly admired Immortal Zhenyuan.
Before she fell, she was just an ordinary female Immortal, not outstanding in Brahma Void Heavenly Court.
Although the Three Hundred Worlds of Brahma Void Heavenly Court were vast in comparison, the glimpses of things revealed in Immortal Zhenyuan's words showed the unimaginable strength of the Three Realms.
In the eyes of the Goddess, Immortal Zhenyuan, who held an esteemed position in the Three Realms, also gained a touch of sanctity.
"My choice must be correct."
The determination of the Wushan Goddess to assist Sun Wukong became more resolute.
Feigning carelessness, she asked Immortal Zhenyuan, "Does the Immortal have a wife in the Three Realms?"
"We, who have attained the Way, live freely and as long as the heavens. Why would we need a wife?"
Immortal Zhenyuan replied.
The Goddess felt both loss and joy in her heart.
The fact that Immortal Zhenyuan did not have a wife delighted her.
But he was the Ancestor of Earth Immortals, with an unwavering Daoist heart, evident from his words.
*"Even if I exhaust everything, I fear I cannot achieve my desire."*
The Goddess thought, feeling a bit despondent.
