Three days later, the Jade Emperor arrived at Huaguo Mountain.

"This Shuilian Cave is really dilapidated, why not find another place?"

That was the first thing he said to Sun Wukong.

Shuilian Cave was not decrepit, but for Sun Wukong, who held the supreme position in the Three Realms, residing there indeed wasn't quite appropriate.

Many people had brought this up with Sun Wukong, and he was well aware of it.

"Wanling Country has already been rebuilt; I'll move there after a while."

He replied, "Shuilian Cave is just a temporary dwelling."

He had no particular attachment to Shuilian Cave, but it really wasn't suitable for conducting official business.

The Jade Emperor dropped the subject.

He seated himself curiously on a stone chair.

"I've heard about the Asura Clan."

The Jade Emperor said, "The scene you witnessed beyond the Three Realms, was it the Asura Clan?"

"What do you mean?"

Sun Wukong raised his eyebrows.

"You can fool others, but not me."

The Jade Emperor smiled, "Don't think I haven't noticed. During the last great battle, you saw something, didn't you?"

Sun Wukong sighed.

"I indeed saw something."

He said, "But I don't know what it was."

"Oh?" The Jade Emperor became curious, "There's something you don't know?"

"I originally thought it was a colossal serpent."

Sun Wukong said, "It was boundless, its body composed of mountains of corpses and a sea of blood, floating above the Thirty-Three Layered Heaven, stretched from the Western Continent to the Northern Continent, extending into the unseen distance, indistinguishable as to where the head and the tail were."

The Jade Emperor was shocked, "A serpent so huge?"

"Later on, I thought, perhaps it was not a serpent, but something else."

Sun Wukong continued, "After all, it was just a glimpse; I didn't see it clearly."

"Such a monster, could it be the great calamity the World Venerable spoke of?"

The Jade Emperor asked again.

Sun Wukong shook his head, he genuinely didn't know.

But he knew one thing: the people this monster had devoured might be more than the entire Three Realms.

"The threat of this serpent is greater than the Asura Clan."

Sun Wukong said.

"So it turns out the Asura Clan really isn't the threat?"

The Jade Emperor said, then suddenly his mind flashed.

"No, no, wait! Imperial Brother, have you ever considered..."

The Jade Emperor suddenly asked, "The Asura Clan has been isolated outside the realms for so long, why have they not been devoured by that creature?"

Sun Wukong nodded; he didn't understand this part either.

"Do they have any connection with that creature?"

The Jade Emperor asked again.

Sun Wukong could not give a decisive answer.

After all, he knew too little.

The Jade Emperor stayed for a while longer, then stood up to leave.

Sun Wukong saw him off from Shuilian Cave.

"I established the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion to deal with the great calamity."

Sun Wukong said, "If Your Majesty discovers anything in the future, please inform me immediately."

"I understand."

The Jade Emperor rode away in the Dragon Chariot, guarded by the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals.

After the Jade Emperor had left, Sun Wukong turned his gaze toward Yunxiao City.

A surge of Immortal Energy was gushing forth from there.

"Qing Yuanzi is about to succeed."

Sun Wukong thought to himself, and with a single thought, transformed into a hawk and flew to the skies above Yunxiao City.

"Good heavens, Qing Yuanzi is about to ascend to immortality."

Inside Yunxiao City, people sensed the Immortal Energy filling the air.

Everyone had heard about Qing Yuanzi's exploration of the Immortal Dao in Yunxiao City, but they hadn't expected that he would genuinely succeed.

"Why him."

Many people felt conflicted, "That chatterbox is actually becoming an Immortal!"

"Now he's even less likely to die!"

"If we're going to kill him, maybe now is the only chance."

Many Immortals had a burgeoning impulse in their hearts.

Qing Yuanzi had made too many enemies; it was for this reason that Sun Wukong transformed into a hawk to come here and see if there were any accidents.

However, generally speaking, although Qing Yuanzi had offended many, no one dared to wreak havoc in Yunxiao City.

Sun Wukong's form flickered, and he transformed into a bee, flying into the courtyard where Qing Yuanzi was in seclusion.

Aside from him, there were many demons and Taoists guarding the place.

Right when Sun Wukong landed, a tremendous burst of Immortal Energy exploded in the courtyard.

"It's done."

He had just had this thought when he heard Qing Yuanzi's joyful shout.

"I've succeeded, succeeded!"

After ascending, his voice seemed to have recovered as well.

"Thank you, Fairy, for your guidance."

Sun Wukong saw Qing Yuanzi thanking an Independent Immortal woman.

The guidance she gave him was more helpful than anyone else's.

"How did you know my Cultivation Technique?"

Qing Yuanzi asked curiously.

"I've studied similar techniques."

The Independent Immortal replied, her face also showing disbelief, "Who taught you the Spell of your cultivation?"

This Independent Immortal woman was naturally the Asura woman.

She had approached Qing Yuanzi disguised as an Independent Immortal, just in time to see him breaking through in the Immortal Dao. Finding that his method of cultivation was very similar to her own, she couldn't help but give him some pointers.

"Who is your master?"

The Asura woman inquired Qing Yuanzi.

"My master?"

Qing Yuanzi was somewhat astonished, but still answered meticulously.

Sun Wukong listened from the eaves, the corners of his mouth curling slightly.

"Just as I thought..."

He had found the answer.

It turns out Qing Yuanzi's master was one of the former Asura Kings.

Having confirmed this, Sun Wukong understood everything.

He gave up observing and returned to Shuilian Cave.
