At this moment.

Ghost Witch Doctor and Sun Wukong were locked in a frenzied battle, encountering each other's formidable rival.

Due to a lapse in concentration, Sun Wukong's moves began to falter, and both sides' combat prowess reached a comparable level. The fight grew increasingly fierce, with both sides seemingly bent on a life-or-death struggle.

Every move was aimed to kill, causing the heavens to shake and the earth to crumble.

Meanwhile, the masters who pulled the strings behind the scenes watched the battle unfold and strategized.

Lady Bai Gu and the Queen of Xiliang exchanged glances, thinking to themselves, "Who would have thought these two value Sun Wukong so highly... They're keen on sharpening his battle skills!"

After all, the Journey to the West is a great calamity, and by aiding its protagonist, they might receive rewards in the future.

Sun Wukong truly is fortunate.

No, this isn't fortune; it's a destiny marked by being at the pinnacle from birth. All existing beings of Primordial Chaos borrow Sun Wukong's hand to continually grow into the core of a new Celestial Dao and open up an era.

With a bang.

The distant battle escalated further.

Both sides seemed to faintly feel the potential for another breakthrough.

Sun Wukong's entire body changed color once more.

"What's that?"

King Tang suddenly stood up, looking astonished as he watched Sun Wukong.

The hair on his head instantly lengthened, with every strand of monkey hair standing on end, transforming into an explosion of hair.

"Oh, that's Super Saiyan 3... Emperor Tang hasn't seen it before, right? It's a flesh cultivation skill of the transformation type," Zhenyuanzi calmly explained.

"Transformation type?"

Li Shimin began to ponder.

It wasn't that he hadn't seen similar cultivation skills.

After all, his prime minister specialized in comprehensive development areas and had previously researched the "flesh transformation" direction. His minotaur warrior underlings had the Three-stage Transformation.

However, even Zhenyuanzi, a being of such caliber, placed such importance on this transformation cultivation skill?

Indeed, it is not ordinary.

"It seems I need to go back and have them research this direction more thoroughly," Li Shimin contemplated with a serious expression, rubbing his chin with his fingertips, "I was initially thinking of temporarily abandoning research in this area and scheduling it as the 1963rd project for them…"

Zhenyuanzi looked at Li Shimin, unsure what this cunning emperor was pondering, merely smiled and said, "This is also a concept I proposed, a speculation. Who would have thought Sun Wukong could truly master it!"

"His master, Master Bodhi, couldn't teach that monkey well. Will he listen to you?" Li Shimin was somewhat surprised to find out that the monkey, born from a piece of stubborn stone, could be so obstinate.

"It's simple enough. Persuade Tang Monk to chant the Tightening Spell for forced labor reformation."

Zhenyuanzi patiently replied, "As you know, for obstinate and extremely carefree individuals, special measures must be used...磨砺 (grind), to help one grow. However, the process is painful, and most people are unwilling. We must then forcibly磨砺... They will thank us in the future."

"I see, indeed, special measures are necessary…" Li Shimin pondered, as he felt as if he was being taught a lesson, looking towards his prime minister again with a thoughtful expression.

Li Shimin suddenly thought differently of Zhenyuanzi.

At least, in regard to these matters, they seemed to share some common ground.

He was still imparting his work ethos, which Li Shimin could just so happen to absorb as essence.

It wasn't that Li Shimin hadn't thought of this, but he had been too benevolent before.

As a Tang Emperor, face is sometimes hard to put aside!

It must be known that previously, it was Wei Zheng who kept advising him, persuading him to endure patiently and repeatedly extend his tolerance...

After all, an intelligent person with integrity and dignity is consistently constrained. However, if this intelligent person has a flexible moral baseline... Then everything changes.

Perhaps, he truly must lay down the dignity and authority of the Human Emperor.

If it wasn't done this way, there would be no way to turn things around, to deal with those ancient existences manipulating him from the heavens...

"Perhaps I should be like Zhenyuanzi..."

He looked at the monkey that was already somewhat mentally drained from being pushed too hard, thinking to himself, "Anyway, in Chang'an City they won't remember events from other timelines nor suffer the monkey's kind of side effects, showing such exhaustion and collapse, even madness... It is indeed perfect, for the feature of Chang'an City is... eliminating work fatigue!"

Nonetheless, he still felt a bit surprised.

Zhenyuanzi was so devoted to honing Sun Wukong!

It was comparable to Master Bodhi's dedication back then.

It seems he is trying to curry favor with the likes of Tathagata from the Western Land's Buddhist sect.

Li Shimin originally thought that this transcendent ancient being from the Primordial Chaos would casually deal with this matter, but instead, he rigorously trained Sun Wukong to such extremes.

Additionally, he did not suspect at all that Zhenyuanzi was employing Sun Wukong as a resource to pioneer a civilization in this land.

Would Zhenyuanzi, the illustrious powerhouse, lack the fighting power of a monkey?

Perhaps the monkey may soar to great heights in the future, but as of now, it doesn't even possess the power of Qingfeng Mingyue.

Moreover, this land holds no allure for Zhenyuanzi.

For a being of his level, simple land resources offer no gains...

At this point, Zhenyuanzi glanced at the Emperor Tang.

He saw this Celestial Khan Li Shimin, who was watching the brutal and bloody fight below between Ghost Witch Doctor and Sun Wukong, lost in contemplation.

His heart was instantly filled with consolation.

Emperor Tang is still too kind-hearted...

It's evident that he can't steely resolve within.

Zhu Zhengwei suddenly spoke, "However, Sun Wukong's enhanced battle prowess might put your prime minister in danger."

The Emperor Tang listened and his expression became slightly serious, then gazed below, "No need for concern, sir."

Still, it indeed made things a bit troublesome.

That Sun Wukong truly is the protagonist of heaven and earth, unfathomably achieving such breakthroughs under these circumstances?

Super Saiyan 3...

Li Shimin silently memorized this name.

"If things turn disadvantageous, it indeed poses some difficulty."

Great Tang's army cannot simply enter into real Outer Chaos Realm; he knew the curse prowess of Ghost Witch Doctor, hence he sent him here alone to curse-kill a nation, alongside honing his skills.

After all, over the years, the work efficiency of Ghost Witch Doctor had decreased.

No matter how he reset time, he couldn't help him break the encountered bottleneck.

This ultimately boiled down to being a greenhouse flower, lacking磨砺.

Li Shimin's intention was to磨砺 him, broaden his experience, and then bring him back to Chang'an City to continue researching various systems, boosting his own stockpile and power.

But if Sun Wukong defeated him decisively, while磨砺 may have been achieved, it still remains quite challenging.

"Forget it, forget it... Allow him to awaken 10% of his power." Emperor Tang gently reached out with a finger, the multi-dimensional timeline memories of Chang'an awakened again in Zhu Zhengwei's mind, causing his aura to rapidly expand, instantly overwhelming the battling Sun Wukong.

"Monster, how come??"

Sun Wukong was suddenly flung away, covered in blood.
