The Jade Emperor quickly heard about the Heavenly Dao Net and excitedly ran to the Virtue Palace to find Sun Wukong.

"I can help you complete this spell."

He offered his help proactively.

Naturally, Sun Wukong wouldn't refuse. With the Jade Emperor's assistance, the prototype of the Heavenly Dao Net was soon finished.

This prototype was incredibly beautiful, as if forged from starlight, resembling…a transparent chessboard shimmering within the Wanling Tree.

Indeed, under the Jade Emperor's assistance, the Heavenly Dao Net transformed into a chessboard.

Sun Wukong silently gazed upon the chessboard-shaped net.

He was truly naive to not have anticipated this outcome from the Jade Emperor's assistance.

"This chessboard is infinite. Wherever the Heavenly Dao extends, it can cover, locking in the totems and transforming their power into the power of the Heavenly Dao."

The Jade Emperor was very pleased with the chessboard: "Once you place all the Hongmeng Totems into it, the power of this chessboard will far surpass that of the Heavenly Emperor Jade Seal."

The Jade Emperor had always wanted to bring changes to the diagram of all immortals, but doing so would disturb the order of the Three Realms. Helping Sun Wukong now was also a way for him to indulge himself.

Sun Wukong was somewhat troubled, but after thinking, he decided to let it go.

Although its appearance had changed, the person who crafted the chessboard was still him, after all; the Jade Emperor merely provided suggestions, so he had no real grounds for complaint.

Sun Wukong carefully inspected the chessboard. On this enormous chessboard, the totems resembled chess pieces scattered across various nodes, now bound by surrounding Immortal Texts and stabilized significantly more than before.

"The shape has indeed changed."

At this point, the Jade Emperor spoke again: "You should also change its name!"

"Change it to what?"

Sun Wukong asked.

"... You want me to name it? Let me think."

The Jade Emperor thought for a moment and said: "Something too complicated won't be good, let's just call it the Heavenly Dao Chessboard."

"That works."

Sun Wukong looked at the Heavenly Dao Chessboard, the totems on it flickering with light. Although only a prototype, the entire chessboard exuded a supreme majesty.

"I must complete it."

Sun Wukong had a feeling that this chessboard would be crucial to his future creation of the Sky-opening Axe and breaking through the Source Realm.

He was uncertain where this premonition came from, yet as it surfaced, a mysterious sense of crisis also overcame Sun Wukong.

Completing the Heavenly Dao Chessboard would likely not be easy.

Its dangers were absolutely comparable to when he created the Wanling Heavenly Dao.

"Imperial Brother."

The Jade Emperor said to Sun Wukong: "Since this spell is now usable, try testing its effects."

"Alright."

Sun Wukong nodded, gestured with his hand, and the chessboard on the Wanling Tree suddenly split into two, one of which fell into his palm.

"Open!"

With a loud shout, the chessboard in his hand shattered.

In an instant, the chessboard on the Wanling Tree spread out a vast expanse of starlight, sprawling across as if stars shrouded the sky, spectacularly beautiful.

Sun Wukong closed his eyes, feeling himself merging with the chessboard, his consciousness swiftly expanding, as if imprinting the entire Three Realms into his heart.

No, not just the Three Realms.

Sun Wukong soon discovered that the path of this starlight not only covered the Three Realms but also included even more distant places, now also imprinted in his heart.

In the Brahma Void Heavenly Court, a brilliant starlight emerged suddenly in the sky without any warning.

This scene greatly startled the Buddhas and also shocked Ao Luan.

She flew over to see; the starlight sprinkling on the ground, rooting like seeds, swiftly growing into a big tree.

"The Wanling Tree."

Ao Luan was stunned as she looked at the familiar tree, her eyes widening in surprise.

How could that starlight plant a Wanling Tree?

Did the immortals create a new method of planting?

While she was shocked, a voice sounded in her ear.

"This tree was planted by the Heavenly Dao itself."

It was Sun Wukong's voice.

Upon hearing this voice, Ao Luan felt reassured.

"When did you return to the Heavenly Court, brother?"

She looked around, asking.

"I am still in the Three Realms."

Sun Wukong's voice, filled with joy: "It seems the Heavenly Dao can connect the Three Realms and the Heavenly Court; I am speaking to you through the Wanling Tree."

"Heavenly Dao?"

Ao Luan was even more astonished: "Can it connect over such a distance?"

"I created a new spell; this is its power."

Sun Wukong remarked thoughtfully: "This spell seems to have enhanced the power of the Heavenly Dao, allowing my consciousness to spread."

He was both shocked and overjoyed; before creating this spell, the integration of the Heavenly Dao and the Hongmeng Totems was unilateral with only the Heavenly Dao enhancing the Totems.

But now, the enhancing effect of the Hongmeng Totems on the Heavenly Dao manifested, with astonishing results.

Its effects seemed capable of transcending space.

"It's magical…"

After listening to Sun Wukong's explanation, Ao Luan couldn't help exclaiming: "How can the Hongmeng Totems spread so far?"

"I guess it's the Heavenly Emperor Jade Seal, this chessboard is limitless, it can connect to every Star Palace under my rule."

Sun Wukong answered: "The distances of Chaos impose no limits on the Hongmeng Totems."

In those times when the Hongmeng Totems were active, the entire expanse of Chaos belonged to one world.

Every corner of Chaos should manifest the power of the Totems.

"Anyhow, this is a good thing."

Sun Wukong joyfully said: "I can feel the Heavenly Dao spreading, once I complete this spell, the Heavenly Dao will take root throughout the entire Heavenly Court."
