"Brother."
In the morning, Ao Luan stepped into Shuilian Cave: "A little demon saw that Lingshan has flown towards the north."
"I know."
Sun Wukong nodded; he had received the message from the land god.
He stood up: "The wind has been blowing for a month; it's time we can move now."
Sun Wukong turned to look at Emperor Donghua: "Emperor, how many Independent Immortals and Taoists have left the Western Continent?"
Emperor Donghua replied with a number through his eyes.
"So few?"
Sun Wukong's brows slightly furrowed. It seemed that the wind needed to blow a bit longer.
"Brother, should we immediately announce the takeover of the Western Continent?"
Ao Luan asked.
The matter of Sun Wukong taking over the Western Continent had already become certain, and most cultivators were aware of it, but he couldn't claim to be the true Heavenly Venerate of the place until it was officially declared.
"No hurry."
Sun Wukong shook his head. Once taking over the Western Continent, his first task would be to reorganize the Independent Immortals and Taoists.
Because of the havoc in the Heavenly Palace, and the fact that he was a Demon Immortal, this task would not be easy.
Besides, the demons of the Western Continent also needed to be dealt with.
"Let the wind blow a little longer!"
Sun Wukong decided to give those people a bit more time; the more of them that could not accept his rule and left the Western Continent, the better.
"But brother."
Ao Luan continued: "You don't need to delay for those people."
"I'm not doing nothing."
Sun Wukong smiled: "I still need to do what must be done."
Ao Luan breathed a sigh of relief: "Then when will the news be announced?"
"Let me find a home first."
Sun Wukong replied.
Huaguo Mountain could not be moved for the time being. He must first find a place to live; announcing the takeover of the Western Continent without even having a place to live would be ridiculed by the Jade Emperor and others.
"Emperor."
Sun Wukong looked towards Emperor Donghua: "Let's find Immortal Zhenyuan and go together to the Western Continent to find a suitable place."
Emperor Donghua nodded.
Sun Wukong then said to Ao Luan: "Move those prepared musical notes to the seaside. I'll have Immortal carry them over."
Ao Luan nodded, Sun Wukong was planning to take care of the rain as well.
She immediately ordered the little demons to move the musical notes to the seaside, filling several horse carts.
Soon, Sun Wukong, along with Emperor Donghua and Immortal Zhenyuan, flew from Wuzhuang Temple to the seaside.
With a wave of his long sleeves, Immortal Zhenyuan used the Sleeve Universe to suck all the musical notes from the carts into his sleeve.
"This move of Immortal is indeed convenient."
Sun Wukong thought to himself.
He was about to leave when a sudden idea came to him, he called Ao Luan: "Come with us."
Ao Luan hurriedly agreed.
The four of them left Huaguo Mountain and within half a day, they crossed the Southern Continent and entered the territory of the Western Continent.
"Everyone come out."
Sun Wukong used a spell, and all the land gods within a hundred miles were summoned.
"Greetings, Great Saint!"
These elders bowed to Sun Wukong.
Sun Wukong scanned them: "Why are there a few missing?"
"Great Saint, they have left the Western Continent."
The Mountain Gods replied.
The rumor that Sun Wukong liked to bully the elderly had spread very widely among them, and upon learning that he was coming to the Western Continent to assume the role of Great Sage Equalling Heaven, many Mountain Gods were terrified.
Those capable Mountain Gods immediately found ways to leave.
Fortunately, these minor gods rely on the land for their sustenance, and most didn't have the means to leave, so the departure of a few wouldn't affect the overall situation.
Sun Wukong did not mind those Mountain Gods who had left; let them go, he could appoint new ones.
He then asked Immortal Zhenyuan to bring out the musical notes.
"Each of you take one, the rest should be distributed to the other Mountain Gods."
Sun Wukong pointed to the musical notes as he spoke.
The Mountain Gods, being able to shuttle swiftly through the soil, could distribute these musical notes much faster than Sun Wukong himself.
Sun Wukong then taught these elders how to use and keep the musical notes.
"Great Saint."
A curious Mountain God asked, "Since these musical notes are used for transmitting voices, what message do we need to convey?"
"You don't need to convey anything."
Sun Wukong responded, "Every day, someone will inform you of the next day's rainfall; your only task is simple: just convey the message to the mortals."
The Mountain Gods and local deities were surprised; some of the elders were still pondering why rainfall needed to be communicated, while the more perceptive ones had already grasped the underlying significance.
"Thank you, Great Saint, thank you, Great Saint!"
These Mountain Gods knelt on the ground with joyous faces, expressing their gratitude to Sun Wukong.
Others were stunned for a moment before quickly reacting, also bowing to Sun Wukong with joyful faces.
This job would increase their offerings incense!
Sun Wukong smiled slightly and introduced Ao Luan, "She is my sworn sister. If there's anything in the future, you can report to her."
After saying this, a golden light emitted from his body and flew onto Ao Luan.
Ao Luan felt warmth all over her body, radiated light, and with a thought, it seemed she had the power to command countless Mountain Gods and local deities.
"This is..."
She was astonished by the light on her body.
"That is the Heavenly Rules."
Immortal Zhen Yuan answered, "Just now, our younger brother set the Heavenly Rules and allocated some authority to you; now, all Mountain Gods and local deities in the Western Continent must follow your orders."
Of course, Sun Wukong could take back this Heavenly Rule anytime he wished.
"Is this the power of the Heavenly Venerate?"
Ao Luan felt incredulous.
Her strength was not enough to control these lesser deities, yet she had the identity and power to manage them.
The Mountain Gods and local deities did not dare to hesitate and immediately knelt down to Ao Luan: "Greetings to Fairy Yunxiao!"
"Fairy Yunxiao?"
Ao Luan looked puzzled at Sun Wukong.
What did this title mean?
"People from Huaguo Mountain call you this," Sun Wukong replied. "I've made it a formal Immortal Position here."
From this moment, the title of Fairy Yunxiao was equivalent to the position of the Prime Minister.
"These four characters will allow you to manage other immortals."
Sun Wukong said.
Ao Luan nodded; as the second Great King of Huaguo Mountain, she managed all affairs in Yunxiao City, and indeed some people addressed her this way.
But she still felt somewhat uneasy.
"If you don't like it."
Sun Wukong continued, "I can change it for you."
"...No."
Ao Luan thought for a moment, then shook her head, "It's not bad either."
She didn't particularly care about the title, and Fairy Yunxiao did sound quite decent.
Except...
"It would have been nice to be called Empress."
For a moment, Ao Luan harbored this thought.
But the next second, she dismissed it.
If she couldn't even manage the role of Fairy Yunxiao properly, how could she possibly be an Empress?
Ao Luan put away her thoughts.
"The rest is up to you to arrange."
Sun Wukong told Ao Luan, "Try to start the weather forecast earlier."
"By your command."
Ao Luan nodded.
Sun Wukong then took Emperor Donghua and Immortal Zhen Yuan and flew towards the depths of the Western Continent.
