After Ao Lai, the Monkey King built the Library of Heaven's Path in the various cities of Mount Huaguo.
After that, he no longer cared about anything and focused on cultivation.
In the blink of an eye, a year had passed.
In the spring of the new year, the flowers of Mount Huaguo were in full bloom.
The Monkey King stood at the peak of the mountain and watched the floating ships coming and going in the sky. It was a busy and orderly scene. He could vaguely see the prosperity of the Myriad Spirit Kingdom in the past.
The power of the Myriad Spirit Kingdom had been guided out by Ao Luan.
"Sometimes, I feel that she is more suitable to be the King than me."
The Monkey King said.
"She can't bear the responsibility."
The Golden Cicada sat behind him and said while brewing tea, "No one can replace the Great Sage's reputation in the Myriad Spirit Kingdom."
No matter how good Ao Luan was, she was just a manager.
The Monkey King was the one who could lead the Myriad Spirit Kingdom forward.
Within a year, the population of the new Myriad Spirit Kingdom expanded to one million.
The Mount Huaguo no longer set restrictions on visitors, and talents from the four continents surged in rapidly.
At the same time, the spread of trade and the Heavenly Dao made his reputation spread throughout the four continents.
His notoriety and reputation were intertwined. No one could be more complicated than him.
"Why didn't the ten continents and three islands do anything?"
The Golden Cicada brewed a cup of tea for the Monkey King and asked.
"Because I didn't do anything."
The Monkey King replied, "If I didn't do anything, they naturally wouldn't."
"Why didn't they do anything?"
The Golden Cicada frowned slightly. "Then the North Continent..."
"That's bait."
The Monkey King replied.
The North Continent was a barren land. The immortals and Buddhas would not care much if the Myriad Spirit Kingdom conquered it.
They could not wait for the Monkey King to spend 50 years to deal with the North Continent. Therefore, they did not do anything at this stage.
However, the outcome might be different when the Monkey King made his next move.
The Monkey King finished his tea. "They are coming back."
"They?"
The Golden Cicada was a little puzzled, but the Jade-Faced Fox flew back to Huaguo Mountain on the same day.
Ao Luan held a party to welcome the returning monsters, and it was very lively.
During the grand banquet, the demons mostly talked about the North Continent.
Although the Monkey King already knew about the situation, it still felt different when he heard it from the demons.
The progress in the North Continent was very fast. Three kingdoms were already willing to join the Myriad Spirit Kingdom, and more than 100,000 demons had joined Bull Demon.
Bull Demon built a brand-new demon city in the North Continent. Its glory was far greater than when he made ramen.
It was worth mentioning that many demons had regained their memories of the Myriad Spirit Kingdom on the battlefield in the North Continent this year.
War allowed them to learn the Immortal Dao faster, and under the stimulation of danger, it was easier for them to recover their memories.
This was a path that was faster than simply learning.
Half a year ago, Mount Huaguo had a surge of enthusiasm to join the army.
Monkey King believed that the return of the Jade Faced Fox would definitely cause a new wave.
"This kind of life is indeed suitable for me!"
The Bull Demon sat beside the Monkey King, drinking wine in big mouthfuls and shouting.
"If this goes on, we will only need ten years to conquer the entire North Continent."
The other demon sages were also very excited.
Conquering a continent in ten years was a very impressive achievement that they had never dared to imagine in the past.
However, as soon as he said that, many people looked at the Monkey King.
To the Monkey King, ten years was too long.
However, the Monkey King did not say anything.
No one could tell what he was thinking.
Instead, the Monkey King noticed a small matter.
"What's wrong with you?"
The Monkey King noticed that Daji's eyes were slightly red as she walked into the hall as if she had been crying. He could not help but feel curious.
He had never seen Daji cry before.
"I'm fine."
Daji shook her head and replied, "Chang'e showed me a story that she wrote. It was very touching."
"Story?"
Goku looked at the book she was holding in her hand. "Is this the book?"
"En.
“
Daji nodded and handed the book to the Monkey King.
Monkey King looked over and saw that the title of the book was A Walnut Murder Case, and the author was … Qing Yuanzi?
"I don't think so."
The Monkey King said, "This was written by Qing Yuanzi."
"Eh?"
Daji picked up the book and saw that it was indeed written by Qing Yuanzi.
"It was just a moment ago …"
Daji turned around angrily. "Who replaced my 'Wild Goose'?"
Zhen Yuan Daisen folded his sleeves silently.
"Isn't it great?"
Bull Demon noticed the title of the book in Daji's hand and smiled. "I must show this book to the Great Sage."
"What is this book about?"
Monkey King asked.
"It's a story about a stone spirit."
Although the Bull Demon was in the North Continent, he had long heard of this famous book and immediately told the Monkey King.
The story was simple. It was about a stone spirit that appeared out of nowhere and overthrew an omniscient emperor.
After hearing that, the Monkey King looked at the title of the book. "What does this story have to do with walnuts?"
The Bull Demon was stunned. He did not expect the Monkey King to not be angry and ask this question.
"The emperor in the book has a jade seal that can control everything. He can calculate the appearance of the stone spirit, and the only weakness of the jade seal is the walnut."
The Bull Demon paused and continued, "When the emperor was young, he smashed the walnut with the jade seal because he was greedy, causing a hole to appear in the jade seal and allowing the stone to become a spirit."
"Oh …"
The Monkey King frowned slightly and did not say anything.
However, after everyone left, he could not help but take out the jade seal and take a look.
The Heavenly Emperor Jade Seal was flawless, but there seemed to be signs of friction on a corner.
That … can't be true, right?
The Monkey King thought. How could the Jade Emperor be so unreliable?
"Achoo!"
In the East Divine Continent, a young man suddenly sneezed in the chess hall.
"Someone seems to be talking bad about me."
The young man snorted coldly. "If you lose, you lose. Don't try to go back on your words!"
"We don't dare, we don't dare!"
The chess players in the chess hall smiled apologetically as they took out their silver and put together a big bag.
The young man picked up the bag with one hand and waved his fan with the other, walking out of the chess hall proudly.
"Why is there no one who can be my opponent?"
The young man felt that he was too powerful.
He walked a few steps and stopped beside a middle-aged beggar.
"I say, you look a little familiar."
The young man looked over and asked curiously, "What's your name?"
The man looked up and also felt that he looked a little familiar.
"Who are you?"
The man asked.
"No matter who I am, I just need someone to do odd jobs."
The young man threw the bag in front of the man and said, "You and I are fated. Follow me from now on."
The man was silent for a moment and received the bag with trembling hands.
For some reason, this young man had a temperament that made him want to sacrifice himself.
He had been looking for this temperament for a long time.
"Why are you crying?"
The young man suddenly asked in surprise.
The man touched his face and found that there were tears on his face.
"You're really strange. You're a man and you're still crying."
The young man laughed and walked away with his head held high. "The world is so big. It's so good to be free. What's there to cry about? Ouch …"
He bumped into a pillar.
