Eastern Divine Continent, within the territory of Luli Country, two streaks of light flew across the sky.

The people on the ground saw them, each of them calling out "Immortal" and voluntarily kneeling down.

"What are they doing?"

Those two streaks of light were naturally Sun Wukong and Daji.

Daji, curious about the human's act of kneeling, asked, "Why did they suddenly kneel down?"

"They are Cultivators."

Sun Wukong replied.

The Eastern Divine Continent is different from other Divine Continents; it's the place with the richest Spiritual Energy among the Four Great Continents and has the most Cultivators and believers.

"The lifespan of mortals here exceeds 250 years, which is also longer than other continents," said Sun Wukong indifferently.

Daji felt extremely intrigued.

When the two arrived in Luli Country, unexpectedly, the King and Queen, followed by a procession of civil and military officials, were waiting outside the Royal Palace.

"Greetings to the Great Saint."

As Sun Wukong descended to the ground, they all knelt down.

These people were all Cultivators, who had long sensed the aura of the Heavenly Venerate.

"Rise."

Sun Wukong waved his sleeve, lifting them up.

The King did not dare to neglect the Heavenly Venerate and quickly invited Sun Wukong into the Royal Palace to inquire about his visit.

"I want to establish a Spiritual Network within your country's territory," said Sun Wukong.

The civil and military officials immediately began to discuss noisily.

Although they had never seen the Wanling Immortal Path, they had all heard of it and roughly knew what it was about.

"Your Majesty, this is auspicious!" the ministers said to the King.

The King nodded slightly.

"Great Saint," the King asked, "May we utilize the power of the Spiritual Network?"

"Of course," Sun Wukong nodded. "You may also send someone to Huaguo Mountain to study the knowledge of the Wanling Immortal Path."

The King was overjoyed.

"We are willing to assist." He asked, "What should we do?"

"You don't need to do anything."

After Sun Wukong spoke, he drew a line with his right hand from top to bottom.

A radiant light blossomed from his hand and sank into the ground.

"All done."

Sun Wukong stood up and said, "In half a day, the Spiritual Network will be formed."

Everyone was astonished; Sun Wukong could establish the Spiritual Network so casually, clearly without any need to consult them.

They all felt the importance Sun Wukong attached to them.

Sun Wukong stood up to take his leave.

At the same time, countless lights rose from various places.

The Spiritual Networks of the various countries had all been constructed, but there were still some nations that had not agreed.

"Daji, let's go," Sun Wukong said, taking Daji with him as they left Luli Country.

"Great King, why did they agree so easily?"

It was Daji's first time seeing humans accept the Wanling Immortal Path so readily.

"Because they have no choice," Sun Wukong answered. In the Eastern Divine Continent, royal authority had already lost much of its power.

The Three Thousand Immortal Paths spread throughout the Eastern Divine Continent, Immortal Dao Disciples established Daoist Temples, used Spells to increase food, control the weather, eliminate demons, and gradually hollowed out and replaced the secular royal power.

Hardly had Sun Wukong left the Royal Palace when a group of Taoists descended from the sky.

"Great Saint."

They bowed to Sun Wukong and said, "This is our territory."

"The Spiritual Network will not interfere with your preaching," Sun Wukong replied. "It will only cover the lands controlled by mortals."

The Taoists were stunned, but Sun Wukong had already left with Daji.

"Does it really not affect them?" asked Daji.

"Mm," Sun Wukong nodded.

The Spiritual Network would not affect the Three Thousand Immortal Paths, but the same could not be said for the Wanling Immortal Path.

The Wanling Immortal Path would attract those humans without the aptitude for Cultivation, and their numbers are vast. Once gathered together, they can become a force equivalent to the Three Thousand Immortal Paths.

Thus, Sun Wukong now had a say in the Eastern Continent.

Following that, in less than ten days, Sun Wukong had established a Spiritual Network in all the kingdoms.

The Spiritual Network that Ao Luan took over a decade to build in the Southern Continent was completed by Sun Wukong in just a few days.

"Such swiftness."

Emperor Ziwei was watching from the heavens, utterly astonished.

He understood why the Jade Emperor had reconciled with Sun Wukong.

The spread of the Wanling Immortal Path was alarmingly efficient; as long as Sun Wukong was determined to do it, no one could stop him.

After setting up the Spiritual Network, Sun Wukong returned to Kunlun Mountain.

He passed through the small town at the foot of the mountain where he had spent two years.

The town was no longer a town but had become a city.

"Things remain the same, but people change."

It had been decades since Sun Wukong last visited, and even the cowshed he once slept in was gone.

He left behind the Spiritual Network and made his way to Kunlun Mountain.

Zhang Lu's second team had already built his Immortal Mountain, which floated above Kunlun, larger than the vast majority of Immortal Mountains and its palaces more magnificent.

"Wanling Immortal Sect."

Four big characters were inscribed on the plaque.

Sun Wukong was very pleased and thanked Zhang Lu's second team for their help.

After Zhang Lu's second team left, Sun Wukong exerted his Supreme Power and formed a circle of currents composed of Immortal Texts around the Immortal Mountain.

He let Daji test it out, and even she couldn't escape once she stepped into the currents.

"Great King, can you teach me this spell?"

Daji expressed interest in the spell.

"I'll teach you later."

Sun Wukong promised her but had something else to do.

He was going to instill the entrance test of the Wanling Immortal Sect into the Heavenly Ladder.

Sun Wukong hovered in the air, starting to observe the Heavenly Ladder with his Eyes of Golden Flame.

"How long do you think the Great King will take to instill the Immortal Dao into the Heavenly Ladder?"

A group of Immortals tried to guess.

"One year."

"Half a year."

"One month."

There were all sorts of guesses, but the fastest came from Daji.

"Three days."

Daji wagered her hairpin.

The complexity of the Heavenly Ladder exceeded Sun Wukong's expectations; he couldn't alter it but could only embed a rule.

Two days later, Sun Wukong flicked his finger, and a white light flew into the Heavenly Ladder, vanishing from sight.

The Immortals were shocked: "Great Saint, what have you done?"

"It's done."

Sun Wukong withdrew his hand.

Daji collected their treasures from all the stunned onlookers.

Sun Wukong instilled the entrance method of the Wanling Immortal Sect into the Heavenly Ladder and then announced the news.

From that day on, all kingdoms began to study the Wanling Immortal Path; those who achieved mastery could ascend through the Heavenly Ladder to the Wanling Immortal Sect for better cultivation.

The entire Eastern Continent boiled with excitement upon hearing the news.

The kingdoms vied to go to Huaguo Mountain to study and purchase Heavenly Books.

Soon, Huaguo Mountain's talents were poached by the kingdoms and were no longer adequate for the proliferation of the Wanling Immortal Path.

"Ask Ao Luan to send some reinforcements."

Sun Wukong only called for reinforcements from Wanling Country.

This competition was about seizing every minute; he wanted to gain more advantages before the Jade Emperor did.

The Jade Emperor was also working hard, continuously studying in the library.

"Your Majesty."

One day, Gold Star Taibai came to the library again: "The Great Saint has already started taking action in the Eastern Continent."

"Don't disturb me."

The Jade Emperor was conflicted: "How can I start without mastering this knowledge?"

Seeing his dedication, Gold Star Taibai said: "Then, about tonight's banquet…"

"Refuse on my behalf."

The Jade Emperor answered.

Gold Star Taibai further inquired, "Should I refuse the Grandmaster's invitation to play chess as well?"

"What..."

The Jade Emperor raised his head: "Play chess?"

That, he had to attend.
