When Sun Wukong's consciousness returned to his body, the Jade Emperor and the Two Pure Ones had been waiting for a long time.
"How is this spell?"
As soon as Sun Wukong opened his eyes, the Jade Emperor asked.
"Beyond imagination."
Sun Wukong joyfully told the Jade Emperor about what he had seen.
The Jade Emperor and the Two Pure Ones listened and were all incredibly astonished.
"Can we use this chessboard?"
The Jade Emperor eagerly asked.
"Of course."
Sun Wukong nodded and gestured with his hand. Three small chessboards split from the Wanling Tree, landing in the palms of their hands.
Sun Wukong then taught them how to use the chessboard.
The Two Pure Ones attempted first; their chessboard shattered, but after a while, there was no response from the chessboard on the Wanling Tree.
"Why is this happening?"
The Two Pure Ones turned to look at the Jade Emperor: "Your Majesty, you try."
The Jade Emperor also tried and then sadly shook his head: "I can't do it either."
Like the Two Pure Ones, he was unable to use the chessboard.
"Everyone cannot use this Heavenly Dao Chessboard."
At that moment, the crow on the Wanling Tree spoke up: "No matter how well you understand the Wanling Heavenly Dao, without understanding the Hongmeng Totems, you cannot wield it."
The three of them then understood the reason, all feeling regretful.
"The further improvement of this chessboard can only rely on you, Imperial Brother."
The Jade Emperor said, though regretful, the appearance of the chessboard was ultimately a positive event.
"If the Heavenly Dao can spread on its own, should we call back those spreading it in the Heavenly Court?"
The Jade Emperor asked again.
"No need."
Sun Wukong shook his head: "If the Heavenly Dao spreads, the influence of the totems will most likely appear in the Heavenly Court; it's more convenient for them to stay there and manage it."
The Jade Emperor nodded, stayed in the Virtue Palace for a while longer, then bid farewell to Sun Wukong along with the Two Pure Ones, no longer disturbing him.
This time, the power of the Heavenly Dao Chessboard brought an unexpected surprise to the immortals of Virtue Palace, boosting their spirits, and once again accelerating the progress of the Heavenly Dao.
More and more totems merged into the Wanling Tree, causing dozens of unexpected incidents, big and small.
Fortunately, the immortals were prepared; guided by Sun Wukong, everyone united and all passed through safely, with minor shocks only.
As the totems integrated and the chessboard improved, the spread of Wanling Heavenly Dao did not stop.
Sun Wukong could sense areas growing at least one Star Palace every day.
This rate of growth was astonishing, and Sun Wukong's Divine Soul also grew stronger with the spread of the Heavenly Dao; in less than three months, he had accomplished what previously took a hundred years.
Now, he could close his eyes and see significant events happening millions of kilometers away in the Heavenly Court.
And regarding the Three Realms, Sun Wukong's perceptions were incredibly detailed; without leaving Virtue Palace, he could comprehend anything he wished to know.
He was most concerned about the progress of the Hongmeng microcosm.
Immortal Zhenyuan did not disappoint him; the microcosm's progress was very rapid, with Immortal Zhenyuan successfully constructing an unimaginably sturdy city.
Though the city stood in the Mortal World, its solidity was comparable to the Heavenly Palace.
Recently, Immortal Zhenyuan had been leading several immortals to catch small totems daily, then placing them in the city for various tests.
Every day, trees within the city grew wildly, and stones hopped chaotically, creating numerous bizarre situations; the small totems made a raucous, yet it was remarkably stable.
Sun Wukong found these scenes very interesting and observed them every day.
However, this situation suddenly shattered one day.
That day, for some unknown reason, the small totems started fighting, the city shook violently, and everything inside collapsed.
This happened in an instant; the city collapsed like a flood, leveling to the ground with dust flying everywhere.
The immortals couldn't even react before everything in front of them turned a dusty gray. The location of the city was left with nothing.
They all were stunned.
"How could it collapse?"
Immortal Zhenyuan was greatly shocked: "Do those small totems have such power?"
He never believed those small totems could destroy the sturdy city he had built by hand.
"If such minor totems can cause the collapse of this city, what exactly is the land of Hongmeng made of?"
Immortal Zhenyuan thought to himself: "It must be at least a hundred times stronger than the structures of the Heavenly Palace."
Even so sturdy a city could not withstand the power of the totems, he truly didn't know what method to use to craft land a hundred times stronger than this.
This failure shook the faith of many immortals.
Even the immortals of the Virtue Palace started to worry after hearing about this failure.
"Heavenly Emperor."
Earth Virtues Star Monarch once again confirmed with Sun Wukong: "Can the Hongmeng microcosm really be constructed?"
"It can."
Sun Wukong remained steadfast: "It's just one failure; the great immortal won't give up."
True to his words, a few days after he said this, Immortal Zhenyuan rebuilt the city.
Failure is the mother of success, this time Immortal Zhenyuan seemed more active and passionate!
