A day later, the Jade Emperor once again came to the Virtue Palace.

He stood with his hands behind his back, watching as a butterfly passed through the Purple Crystal and returned into Sun Wukong's body.

Sun Wukong opened his eyes, and it seemed as if flames were burning within them.

He landed on the ground, his powerful aura spreading around him, instilling fear.

"Did you find it?"

The Jade Emperor asked.

"No."

Sun Wukong shook his head.

The Jade Emperor frowned: "Could it not be in the Three Realms?"

"No… It's right here."

Sun Wukong said, "I can feel its power."

He had already sensed the aura of the Pangu Sky Splitting Axe, as if it were within arm's reach.

However, no matter how he searched, he could never grasp its location.

"I need to understand the Three Realms better."

Sun Wukong said, "Can you call upon The Three Pure Ones for me?"

Apart from Buddha, the ones who best understood the Three Realms were not the Jade Emperor, but The Three Pure Ones.

Their power could help Sun Wukong find the Pangu Sky Splitting Axe.

"Most excellent."

The Jade Emperor nodded, then immediately dispatched someone to call them.

Soon after, apart from Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad, the Heavenly Venerates Shangqing and Yuqing had arrived at the Virtue Palace.

Both paid their respects to the Jade Emperor and Sun Wukong.

The Jade Emperor explained the situation to them.

Sun Wukong said, "Please assist me."

"It is only right."

The two Pure Ones replied with reverence.

They were astonished by Sun Wukong's power at this moment, his body enveloped in auspicious colors and Merit radiating brilliantly, resembling a Saint—such a phenomenon had never been seen in anyone since the dawn of intelligence.

Sun Wukong's power had surpassed all beings, a history-shaking presence.

At this moment, he was truly the Chaos Emperor, robust and dominating.

Shangqing calmed his heart and asked, "Is the Pangu Sky Splitting Axe a real axe?"

"It symbolizes Pangu's act of world-opening."

Sun Wukong replied, "It is also the transformation of his Heavenly Dao."

"I see."

Shangqing understood that the Pangu Sky Splitting Axe was not a real axe.

The axe was merely its external manifestation.

Shangqing picked up a horsetail whisk and waved it lightly towards Sun Wukong: "I lend you the force of the Heavenly Emperor."

Merit Fire burst from the whisk, enveloping Sun Wukong's body.

"What an impressive spell."

Sun Wukong thought, amazed; the Merit Fire from Shangqing landed on him, guiding the flow of Merit throughout his body and providing him with a new understanding of Merit.

This was a Merit Immortal Technique, able to protect the body and enhance senses.

Endless Merit shone on Sun Wukong, draping behind him like a radiant cape.

"Let me also assist."

Yuqing also took out a horsetail whisk, lightly sweeping through it, a powerful wave of Immortal Energy spread out, permeating the Virtue Palace.

A vast aura was drawn forth, cascading down towards Sun Wukong.

This aura was boundless and beyond understanding.

Sun Wukong could sense that this was Yuqing's Tao principle.

"Heavenly Emperor, it is done."

The two Pure Ones bowed to Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong nodded, then sat cross-legged, his Divine Soul transformed into a butterfly and flew out, passing through the Purple Crystal.

His will roamed the vast world, and this time, everything was sensed very clearly.

He didn't know how long had passed when two breaths of deathly stillness came from the Chaos.

"Just at this time."

Sun Wukong returned to his body, about to open his eyes, when suddenly, his Divine Soul sensed a wind behind him.

His Divine Soul turned back to look, and an immensely vast, majestic stream of light appeared before his eyes.

It was a light of peace, covering the sky and glittering brightly, swelling behind him, emitting thousands of streams of light, but quickly disappearing.

"I've found it."

Sun Wukong opened his eyes, still with flickering lights in them.

"I have found the Pangu Sky Splitting Axe."

"Where is it?"

The Jade Emperor who had been waiting in the Virtue Palace hurriedly asked.

Sun Wukong stood up: "Time has been too vast, the Sky-opening Axe weathered one calamity after another, it has long lost its form, melted into this universe."

Time is too terrifying, nothing can withstand its corrosion.

The Pangu Sky Splitting Axe indeed existed in the Three Realms, but it couldn't defeat time and had already decayed and disappeared.

"No more form?"

Shangqing frowned, "If so, I'm afraid it won't last very long."

The Pangu Sky Splitting Axe, transformed from Heavenly Dao, with its form gone also signifies the fading of its Heavenly Dao.

"We must hurry."

Sun Wukong replied, his expression somewhat solemn, "We must recreate the Pangu Sky Splitting Axe."

"Easier said than done."

Yuqing shook his head, "It is a thing of Hongmeng, we know so little about Hongmeng, how are we to recreate it?"

"There's still a way."

Sun Wukong said, "There are people in Chaos who might be able to help us."

"The immortal beings?"

The Jade Emperor asked; he had heard of these immortal beings.

"Yes."

Sun Wukong nodded.

"How do we find them?"

The Jade Emperor asked again.

"No need to search."

Sun Wukong replied, "They have already come."

He knew when the land of Hongmeng was destroyed, the immortal beings would surely come to find him.

The aura sensed by his Divine Soul just now was precisely the aura of those immortal beings.

Sun Wukong led the Jade Emperor and the others out of the Virtue Palace, looking towards the Chaos.

Those two breaths of deathly stillness were rapidly approaching, and soon, the Jade Emperor and the two Pure Ones also sensed them.

The three looked gravely concerned.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, Sun Wukong let out a light exclamation.

"What's wrong?"

The Jade Emperor asked.

"They started fighting among themselves."

Sun Wukong appeared surprised.

Not long after he spoke, a tremendously vast fluctuation exploded in the Chaos millions of miles away.

The fluctuation was so immense that even many Immortals could clearly feel it.
