People of sustained origins have returned to Huaguo Mountain.

Hardly a day rests before the grand construction work begins.

Ao Luan categorizes the people of Wanling returning to Huaguo Mountain into various functional groups, with the absolute majority pouring into the construction of the new Wanling Country.

The immortals set forth the upcoming construction plan.

Centered around Huaguo Mountain, over a dozen Floating Cities will be constructed in the airspace above the East Sea.

Apart from the Floating Cities, the transformation of small islands around Huaguo Mountain is also a priority.

What's special is the East Sea, for Ao Luan envisions establishing a vast city cluster underwater, which unexpectedly received an enthusiastic response from Immortal Zhen Yuan.

This is an underwater kingdom, albeit Wanling Country in the small world has both Tongtian River and West Sea, never before has such a scale been attempted.

"Underwater kingdom, initially thought another construction of Wanling Country would be mundane, but it turned out to bring unexpected challenges."

On Six Luck Island, Water Virtues Star Monarch watches enviously as Immortal Zhen Yuan, with a group of demons and disciples, dives into the seabed.

He was keen to supervise the underwater construction, but Immortal Zhen Yuan snatched the opportunity first.

"What a pity."

Water Virtues Star Monarch said, "Clearly, I am more suitable for this job."

As the Water God, no one is more suited to build in the East Sea than him.

"We've never built an underwater kingdom before."

Barefoot Immortal remarked, "Immortal Zhen Yuan naturally finds it refreshing."

That fame-loving immortal not seizing the job would be more surprising.

"Let's concentrate on properly constructing Huaguo Mountain."

Barefoot Immortal said.

Water Virtues Star Monarch could only nod and turn to join in the construction of Huaguo Mountain.

The transformation of the islands progressed rapidly; in a few days, buildings styled on Wanling Country appeared on the islands.

The people returning to Huaguo Mountain opted not to use the most traditional construction methods, but directly employed construction techniques from two hundred years later—Wanling Immortal Path.

They had already integrated the Immortal Dao with various professional techniques in the small world, greatly simplifying construction processes and achieving unusually rapid speed.

"Employing Wanling Immortal Path here, why is it easier compared to the Western Continent?"

Some discovered an issue during the building process.

In the current Western Continent, using the same spells couldn't be as effortless as it was in Huaguo Mountain.

The demons found the answer—the map of Wanling beneath the sea.

Areas influenced by the map of Wanling belong to the core region of Wanling Heavenly Dao; casting spells here felt no different from the small world.

"Great King indeed thought this through thoroughly."

Many guessed that this was Sun Wukong's deliberate intention.

He had long planned to build the Wanling Country here.

Given the limited number of Wanling people available, no place is more apt than Huaguo Mountain for constructing Wanling Country.

The conditions here are much better compared to the initial conditions of Wanling Country in earlier years, abounding with people skilled in various talents.

Although these talents are not yet proficient in using Wanling Immortal Path, they are more than sufficient as helping hands.

Huaguo Mountain, aside from the mountain itself remaining unaffected, all surrounding areas are bustling with activity.

Ao Luan stands in Yunxiao City, looking down at the transforming islands below, almost changing by the day.

"In another twenty days, the transformations of the islands will be completed."

Long Armed Ape Monkey reports to Ao Luan: "The second mountain suitable to serve as a Floating City, Immortal Master Erlang along with Erlang's infantry has also gone to various places in search."

"Can't the name of my elder brother make those land Mountain Gods comply?"

Ao Luan asked.

Long Armed Ape Monkey shakes his head: "Most are still watching and waiting, perhaps until the Great King emerges, then they will make a decision."

"If that's the case, then let's move mountains up from the seabed."

Ao Luan asked, "How is the situation at the bottom of the sea?"

"Immortal Zhenyuan wants to expand the Dragon Palace into Dragon City. Although there are plenty of materials, it will still take some time to explore."

"No need to rush."

Ao Luan was already satisfied with the current progress: "No matter where, start by establishing the Immortal Literature Hall first, enhance education, and let more people learn the Wanling Immortal Dao."

"By your command."

The Long Armed Ape Monkey bowed and then turned to leave.

A month later, Ao Luan received her first gift; all the small islands of Huaguo Mountain had been transformed.

Batch after batch of demons were arranged into the school to start learning the Wanling Immortal Dao.

For such rapid change, a part of the Wanling people who had special feelings for Huaguo Mountain were genuinely delighted.

But on the other side,

Many still yearned to return to the embrace of Wanling Country.

"Don't worry."

They cheered each other up: "Once the Great King returns, we will definitely retake the Western Continent."

Once the Western Continent was in their hands, they could recreate that familiar homeland.

Sun Wukong once again became the focus of everyone's concerns.

"When will the Great King return?"

Every day, this question was asked.

But no one could give a definitive answer.

Even Ao Luan didn't know when Sun Wukong would return.

She had sent people to investigate for a long time, but there were no clues.

Instead, it was Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad who, after hearing about it, guessed the reason.

"The effect of the Blood Tear Pond is not much different from the Supreme Forget Love."

Lord Lao Zi said, "I also crafted that."

It was a treasure he crafted before the great calamity; he almost couldn't remember it, had it not been for Sun Wukong's incident.

"Supreme Forget Love only works once on the Heavenly Emperor; the Blood Tear Pond, I guess, works at most twice."

Lord Lao Zi supposed that the reason Sun Wukong had stayed at the Blood Tear Pond for so long was likely because he was trying to coax a second tear.

Everyone was surprised by this answer.

If Sun Wukong could shed the second tear, then another group of their kin would soon awaken.

But the awakening of the Wanling people, besides bringing about a wave of construction for Huaguo Mountain, also brought some laughable affairs.

For example, the Golden Winged Great Peng suddenly lost interest in Daji and started chasing Immortal Zhenyuan's carriage every day, determined to make the Phoenix his spouse.

Another example was Fairy Chang'e, who no longer competed with Daji in singing and dancing but devoted herself completely to becoming a literary girl.

Lady Rakshasa also followed Lord Lao Zi day and night, and through persistent coaxing, she finally managed to influence him.

"Alright, alright, I'm scared of you."

Unable to bear the nagging of Lady Rakshasa, Lord Lao Zi handed over his Palm Leaf Fan that could produce fire.

Lady Rakshasa took the fan, whispered a spell, and gently unfolded it; the fan grew larger and longer, fanning out fierce flames.

Seeing this, Lord Lao Zi couldn't help but marvel in secret.

"She could use it without uttering the spell, it seems she did not deceive me."

Lord Lao Zi thought.

After some recent events, he would no longer doubt the authenticity of the small worlds.

But seeing his own Magical Treasure tamed so easily by someone else still surprised him.

When can I take back Hidden Soul?

Lord Lao Zi started to worry.

And he wondered how many elixirs he had crafted in those two hundred years.
