"I want to ask, regarding that Divine Demon Pillar, how do you plan to place it?" Sun Wukong scratched the back of his head, seeming a bit hesitant, but still said it. After speaking, he added, "Rest assured, I’m not coveting this thing. In my eyes, it’s nothing but a hot potato that no one would want." "There’s no need to explain, I understand. Great Sage is worried that if this falls into my hands, it would attract the Demon Clan and Demon Race to seize it." Shen Luo smiled and nodded. "Yes, even Ancestor’s Mount Fangcun almost got ransacked, wouldn’t it be more dangerous for you alone?" Sun Wukong sighed, feeling a bit melancholy. "In fact, Great Sage needn’t worry too much about this matter. The outcome of this battle at the East Sea Abyss is my greatest reassurance. If the Demon Race or Demon Clan covet it, they would have to weigh whether they have the strength for it." Shen Luo shook his hand, not concerned about it. "That’s true. The progress you’ve made is simply astonishing. Alright, since you’ve already thought it through, I won’t persuade you any more." Sun Wukong nodded and turned to leave. "We shall also take our leave." Bai Linglong stood up to say goodbye. "Great Sage, Bai Daoist friend, please stay." Shen Luo hesitated slightly before suddenly speaking to halt them, his expression becoming more solemn. Not just these two, everyone’s gazes also turned towards them. "On the way back just now, I thought it over carefully and plan to place the entrance of the Well of Demons and Gods at the East Sea Dragon Palace." Shen Luo said. Upon hearing this, Ao Hong was stunned, a flush appearing on his face. The entrance of the Well of Demons and Gods connects the Three Realms’ top spiritual veins, spewing vast amounts of Heaven and Earth spiritual energy and demonic qi annually. These alone are a supreme treasure vault of the Three Realms, and the benefits of cultivating within the Well of Demons and Gods are countless. Manjushri Bodhisattva strongly invited Shen Luo to place the Divine Demon Pillar at Ling Mountain for this reason. If this Well of Demons and Gods were placed at the East Sea Dragon Palace, within a decade, it could restore its former glory, perhaps even surpass it. The only concern is that the strength of the East Sea Dragon Palace is much weaker compared to Ling Mountain; even if it exerts all its strength, it may not be able to protect the Divine Demon Pillar. "Placing the Divine Demon Pillar here is indeed a good choice." Sun Wukong slightly nodded, seemingly unsurprised at Shen Luo’s decision. "So, what do you want us to do?" Bai Linglong’s eyes flashed, and she asked. "I hope Flower Fruit Mountain and Daughter Village can ally with the East Sea Dragon Palace to help guard the entrance to the Well of Demons and Gods. The benefits of this well can be shared among your three factions. Additionally, I will inform National Master Yuan Tiangang of this matter." Shen Luo said. Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong and Bai Linglong showed a hint of joy in their eyes. The benefits of the Well of Demons and Gods are irresistible to anyone. The two of them then looked at Ao Hong, showing a consultative expression. "With just the East Sea Dragon Palace alone, it’s indeed hard to ensure the safety of the Divine Demon Pillar. If Daughter Village and Flower Fruit Mountain can send people to help, I would be most grateful." Ao Hong did not hesitate and immediately said. The entrance to the Well of Demons and Gods holds too many benefits for the East Sea Dragon Palace alone. Having Daughter Village and Flower Fruit Mountain participate means sharing some benefits but also relieving much of the pressure. "If that’s the case, I will return to Daughter Village immediately and send sect experts here." Bai Linglong nodded and said. "I will also send people here shortly, but this matter must be kept confidential. After returning to Flower Fruit Mountain, I will put out word that the Well of Demons and Gods is at Flower Fruit Mountain." Sun Wukong said. "Thank you." Shen Luo understood his intention and immediately cupped his hands in thanks. Sun Wukong waved his hand, indicating it was unnecessary. "If there’s nothing else, I’ll head back to Flower Fruit Mountain. Oh, the monkey cubs I brought are still waiting for me on a nearby island." Sun Wukong said. "There’s one more thing. During this confrontation with the Demon Clan, I’ve observed that they’ve become more urgent. I have a very bad premonition that needs guarding against their using the Origin Bone Demonic Artifact to resurrect Chiyou." Shen Luo said gravely. "Origin Bone Demonic Artifact..." Bai Linglong’s pupils contracted, clearly aware of this item. Sun Wukong, however, was puzzled, "Isn’t the Origin Bone Demonic Artifact supposed to require all six pieces to resurrect Chiyou?" "Yes, that’s what the legend says, but where did this legend come from?" Shen Luo asked back. "The Demon Clan." Sun Wukong’s eyes instantly narrowed. "I’m starting to suspect that the Origin Bone Demonic Artifact may not need to be fully assembled to bring Chiyou back into the world." Shen Luo said. "This matter is extremely grave. I have to go to Mount Fangcun to discuss it with Ancestor." Sun Wukong said gravely and immediately. "I will also relay this information to the Heavenly Palace and the sects of the Great Tang Dynasty Government." Shen Luo nodded. "Only just regained freedom, yet it feels like the world outside is about to change again." A hint of worry appeared on Bai Linglong’s slightly innocent face as she sighed. After the decision was made, Sun Wukong and Little White Dragon left first, followed by Bai Linglong and Granny Sun, among others. After seeing everyone off, Nie Caizhu also spoke up, "I have to return to the sect and inform my Master and the others of these matters so that the sect can prepare and take precautions." "I have some things to do here, so I can’t return with you to Mount Putuo. But once things are settled here, I will come to find you," Shen Luo said, feeling a bit reluctant. Nie Caizhu softly replied with an "um" and then smiled, "Don’t keep me waiting too long." Shen Luo nodded and said, "I won’t." Shen Luo and Ao Hong returned to the Dragon Palace, where Shen Luo immediately opened the Free and Easy Mirror and released the Mirror Fiend, Yuan Qiu, and Tear Demon. "Yuan Qiu, Mirror Fiend, what are your plans now?" Shen Luo did not look at the Tear Demon and asked Yuan Qiu and the Mirror Fiend. "Well..." Yuan Qiu stroked his chin. "What’s the matter?" Shen Luo frowned. "He wants to stay at the East Sea Dragon Palace and be a guest official or something." The Mirror Fiend spoke for him. It turned out that the two of them had already discussed this while bored inside the Carefree Mirror earlier. "Being the lowest-ranking worshipper is fine." Yuan Qiu, not very confident, hastily added. Shen Luo looked at Ao Hong, who smiled and nodded. "Thank you, Friend Shen, Daoist Ao." Yuan Qiu said with great joy. "And what about you?" Shen Luo looked at the Mirror Fiend and asked. "Naturally, I will follow my master." The Mirror Fiend smiled. "As you saw this time, following me involves dangerous tasks, and it will only get more perilous in the future, with life and death in the balance." Shen Luo said. "I am not afraid." The Mirror Fiend showed no hesitation at all. Shen Luo nodded, saying no more. "Master, I have one more request." The Mirror Fiend spoke up. As she spoke, her gaze flickered towards the Tear Demon, who was confined at the side. "Let’s hear it." Shen Luo already had a guess. "Please spare the Tear Demon and don’t kill her." The Mirror Fiend, somewhat nervous, took a deep breath and mustered up her courage to say. "Oh? You intend to plead for her?" Shen Luo tugged at the corner of his mouth and said. "She and I are both members of the Demon Race, and neither of us are descendants of the orthodox Demon Race. Cultivation is already difficult. We have known each other for some time and have gone through hardships together. I truly cannot bear to watch her die. As long as you can spare her, I’m willing to risk my life for you, Master, and do anything." The Mirror Fiend said sincerely. Her words surprised not only Shen Luo and the others but also the Tear Demon herself, who showed a look of disbelief.
