The tree stood upright in the hall, a clear green light flowing between its branches and leaves, making it look extremely beautiful.
"This is truly a work of art!"
Taishang Laojun couldn't help but praise the Monkey King's creation after observing it for a few days.
He wouldn't be able to create such a beautiful treasure even if he was given the blueprint.
However, Taishang Laojun also discovered a problem.
"Great Sage, you didn't split the jade seal?"
He saw that the jade seal hidden in the tree was providing energy to the tree like a heart.
"You can't turn the entire jade seal into its heart."
Taishang Laojun frowned slightly. "That's too dangerous."
"I know."
Monkey King nodded. "The jade seal is a manifestation of the Heavenly Dao, it can't be split. I can only wait for the tree to mature before I force it to separate."
The Ten Thousand Spirits Immortal Dao was different from the Heavenly Dao in the jade seal. Once it was formed, it would be rejected by the jade seal.
"If that's the case, Great Sage, you must nurture it carefully."
Taishang Laojun didn't say anything else.
Monkey King began the process of planting the tree that would last for two years.
This tree didn't need to be watered, but it was even more picky about nutrients. Only the immortal dao words chosen by Monkey King could help it grow.
In the beginning, many immortals would rush to the Ten Thousand Spirit Palace, wanting to learn some immortal dao knowledge from the tree.
Monkey King didn't chase anyone away, but after a while, the immortals realized that they still couldn't understand it, so no one came.
Only two regulars remained in the Ten Thousand Spirit Palace.
One of them was Ao Luan.
Although she couldn't understand it, it didn't stop her from spending a few hours in the Ten Thousand Spirit Palace every day.
The other person was Daji.
She stayed in the Ten Thousand Spirit Palace longer than Ao Luan. Half a year later, she handed over all her work and spent half of her time here.
Ao Luan couldn't help but ask, "Can you understand it?"
"I can't, but it's very beautiful," Daji said.
Daji said that she was fascinated by the tree.
Monkey King was busy looking for patterns in the words. He only glanced at Daji occasionally, and she was usually sleeping under the tree.
"What did she comprehend?"
The Monkey King was very curious.
At first, he thought that Daji was just a temporary novelty, but later, he found that her immortal energy had really increased.
The tree was created by the Monkey King, but not even the Monkey King could fully understand its influence.
Of course, this didn't affect the Monkey King's actions at all.
He liked change and welcomed it.
Daji noticed this side of the Monkey King.
Occasionally, she would notice that Monkey King's eyes were shining as he looked at the big tree.
His eyes were like flames.
That was one of the rare occasions when she could see the joy and anticipation in the Monkey King's eyes.
What he wanted to create was definitely not just a Ten Thousand Spirits Immortal Dao. He had a much grander goal to achieve, and this tree was only the starting point for that goal.
"What goal is that?"
This was the only thing that Daji couldn't see through.
Under the Monkey King's care, the tree grew bigger day by day.
A year later, the demons of Myriad Spirits City heard a loud noise in the sky.
They looked towards the Myriad Spirit Palace and saw a green fan on top of its roof.
To be more precise, it was the crown of a tree.
All the demons who saw this opened their mouths wide.
"The Great Sage's palace was destroyed by a tree!"
They quickly spread the news. Soon, everyone knew about this.
Not long after, the tree began to absorb the spirit energy of Myriad Spirits City. The green light between its branches and leaves gradually spread, dyeing the roof of the Myriad Spirit Palace green.
"What exactly is that tree?"
"Why is it glowing?"
The demons were all shocked.
"Immortal Dao."
After a while, a rumor began to spread: "That tree is the Ten Thousand Spirits Immortal Dao."
The Ten Thousand Spirits Immortal Dao was an immortal dao where anyone could become an immortal.
This was a legendary immortal dao that the Great Sage had always been pursuing.
The demons all knew about this, but they still couldn't believe it.
"How could this tree be the immortal dao?"
While they were thinking this, the gazes of the entire Myriad Spirit Kingdom couldn't help but be drawn to the tree.
The tree grew larger and larger. Its trunk was like a dragon, and its crown was like a cloud. It rose from the ground like a giant umbrella, blotting out the sky and casting a huge shadow over the Myriad Spirit City.
Wind began to blow from the tree, blowing in all directions.
The green light was like snowflakes falling over the Myriad Spirit Kingdom. When it landed on the bodies of the people, all illnesses and wounds disappeared.
"What, what is this!?"
Everyone was stunned. It was just a small light, but it possessed such unbelievable power.
The demons finally realized how incredible the Monkey King's creation was.
"The Ten Thousand Spirits Immortal Dao is real!"
"It must be!"
More and more people believed the rumor.
The Myriad Spirit Kingdom was in an uproar.
"Mommy, can we also become immortals?"
Some of the demons asked their parents.
"Yes."
The demons replied, "When this tree grows up, all of us can become immortals."
The power of the tree had already surpassed everything.
Boys and girls, all the demons, and all the humans looked on with joy as the tree grew larger and larger.
Two years passed in the blink of an eye.
There was a huge tremor in the Myriad Spirit Palace.
"What's wrong?"
Daji was startled awake. She lost her balance for a moment and had to be supported by another hand.
"My, my king."
Daji turned around and looked at the Monkey King who was supporting her with one hand. "Is there an earthquake?"
"We're in the sky, how can there be an earthquake?"
The Monkey King smiled. After Daji steadied herself, he instructed her, "There's something wrong with this tree. Take An Jing, Ning Shen, and the others and leave for a day."
"Yes."
Daji hurriedly summoned the immortal officials of the Myriad Spirit Palace and left the palace together.
After everyone left, the Monkey King turned around and looked at the light surging up from the tree.
The Ten Thousand Spirits Immortal Dao and the jade seal had begun to clash.
The jade seal was formed from the Heavenly Dao of the past, so it definitely could not tolerate the Ten Thousand Spirits Immortal Dao. Only now could the Monkey King separate them.
"Let's begin the separation."
The Monkey King began to cast a spell and separate the two things.
The entire Myriad Spirit Palace was trembling.
However, this tremor did not only affect the Myriad Spirit Palace, but it also spread to the Heavenly Palace and the spiritual mountain.
In the North Continent, Gautama stopped preaching.
The jade seal beside him was trembling.
"Amitabha …"
Gautama looked up at the Aparagodānīya Continent. The foundation of the Heavenly Dao that had been maintained for tens of thousands of years was trembling.
This was the aura of fear.
The Heavenly Dao was in fear.
"It's almost 30 years."
Gautama thought to himself. The Jade Emperor probably did not expect the Monkey King to reach this step so quickly.
He stood up.
"Buddha."
The immortals and Buddhas looked at him.
"The time is almost here."
Gautama said.
