Chen Lan was slightly taken aback, why did this sentence sound so familiar?

"I've heard this sentence before; it was a man who said it. He said you are the variable." Chen Lan recalled and looked at Sun Wukong, speaking in a solemn tone.

But Sun Wukong's reaction was very calm, nodding: "Hmm, I know."

"Then do you know who that man is? Is he the mastermind behind the plan?" Chen Lan continued to ask.

They were getting closer and closer to the truth.

This time, Sun Wukong didn't speak. Instead, he raised his head to look at the sky, then lowered it to look at Chen Lan, shaking his head: "Some things I can't say, they are watching, this layer of Array won't hold for long, you need to find a way..."

Upon hearing this, Chen Lan became somewhat anxious: "Find a way to do what?"

Sun Wukong hesitated for a few seconds, then suddenly spoke rapidly: "Tear that talisman apart!"

After saying this, he waved his big hand and left instantly with Marshal Tianpeng.

Watching Sun Wukong leave, Chen Lan was momentarily dazed. His Divine Sense still couldn't lock onto Sun Wukong's position, but he had already obtained the answer he desired.

Tear that talisman apart, does it mean the huge talisman on the surface of Blue Star?

Who sealed it, and perhaps tearing it apart will reveal a way to break the stalemate.

After obtaining some answers, Chen Lan didn't linger any longer, leaving the rest to others to solve.

...

Kunlun Mountain.

"Ah! It hurts, it's killing me!"

Sun Wukong returned to his cave with Bajie. He instantly sprawled on the ground, clutching his head, the pain was excruciating, rolling on the ground, grimacing.

He had just said something he shouldn't have, and the Golden Cuff on his head began to react, continuously tightening, his head felt like it was being squeezed, a fate worse than death!

"Brother Monkey, what's wrong with you?" Bajie exclaimed in surprise, crouching down to check on Brother Monkey, only to be accidentally swatted away.

"Don't come near me, this damned Golden Cuff, one day I will personally take it off and place it on those bastards' heads, let them taste this feeling too!" Sun Wukong growled angrily, his appearance slowly changing.

The human form slowly faded away, transforming into the form of a monkey, wearing a Phoenix Wing Purple Gold Crown, clad in Chain Armor of Gold, and stepping on Lotus Silk Cloud-Stepping Shoes, the intense pain made him unable to maintain the human form.

Yet, the pain from the Golden Cuff lasted for a full ten minutes before subsiding.

During this time, Sun Wukong almost lost control due to the intense pain, nearly transforming into a demon several times.

Sun Wukong is not considered human; he belongs to the Demon Beast tribe, merely burst out of a rock, apart from the current form, he also has a demonized state, transforming into a gigantic ape capable of standing shoulder to shoulder with the sun, possessing astonishing combat power.

But this form has drawbacks, once restored, it leads to exhaustion, requiring at least a decade of rest to recover, unless provided with a Divine Elixir.

The Golden Cuff finally stopped tightening, allowing Sun Wukong to catch his breath, weakly lying on the ground, gasping for air and suddenly laughing as he looked at the sky.

"You're scared, this time the duration was longer than before, meaning you're completely scared!"

They were scared, that talisman was crucial, otherwise, those people wouldn't be so afraid.

Rest assured, one day he'll personally ascend, creating havoc, thoroughly venting his grievances!

"Brother Monkey, do you think that Great Emperor, can he do it?" Bajie asked, handing him a cup of water, seeing Sun Wukong was alright.

Sun Wukong took the water to drink, it wasn't ordinary water but Spiritual Water, capable of restoring Spiritual Qi.

"Of course, if not even he can succeed, then perhaps no one in this world can." Sun Wukong spoke calmly, gazing in a certain direction.

The Spiritual Qi was increasing, those people started awakening, the fusion of the two worlds would truly mark the beginning.

...

Xiao Yao Sect.

In the Sect Leader Hall.

Heaven-Howling Dog, Lei Gong, and others were already waiting there, and upon seeing Chen Lan's figure appear, they all stepped forward.

"Master."

"Great Emperor!"

"Hmm." Chen Lan nodded faintly, it was he who transmitted a message for these people to come over.

Opening his hand, a Soul appeared within his palm.

This was Dianmu's Soul, Dianmu's face could be vaguely seen.

Everyone froze upon seeing this.

"Hmm? Where are the Eight Immortals' Souls?" Heaven-Howling Dog asked in confusion, why was there only one Soul?

"They weren't being controlled, they chose to betray of their own accord, unlike Dianmu, whose body held two Souls, and Lei Gong's the same." Chen Lan spoke calmly.

Upon hearing this, everyone frowned, with anger, confusion, and mostly disappointment.

"Alas, who would've thought that the Eight Immortals, who lived with us for so many years, would choose to betray us, are the benefits they received really that substantial?" Lei Gong sighed.

"Surely they must be, they were only at the Saint King realm before, but after visiting the upper realm, they returned as Celestial Emperor level, and each received a Celestial Dao Supreme Treasure, much better than when they were in the Celestial Court." Mo Lishou remarked sarcastically.

The others listened but said nothing.

It was true, the Eight Immortals lived better in the upper realm than in the Profound Dust Realm, each possessing a Celestial Dao Supreme Treasure, all reaching the Celestial Emperor level.

In the Profound Dust Realm, it would probably be impossible to reach the Celestial Emperor level in a lifetime.

"But it doesn't matter, although they died, I can recreate their Souls, though they will no longer have memories." Chen Lan smiled, his Soul Dao Power now could freely create Souls, he hadn't completely annihilated the Eight Immortals' Souls, only leaving a small part.

This small part allows him to create eight Soul Bodies at the Celestial Emperor level, without memories, while Dianmu retains hers.

"Having no memories is just a consequence of their misdeeds, it's still beneficial to have eight Celestial Empire-level assistants." Heaven-Howling Dog spoke.

Before long, Chen Lan began using Soul Dao Power to reshape the nine Souls, once Dianmu's Soul awakened, she immediately recognized Lei Gong.

"Husband!" Dianmu, overwhelmed with joy, flew over to embrace Lei Gong, and even though they couldn't physically embrace, it felt as if they could, both shedding tears of reunion.

As for the Eight Immortals, they were simply remade into Souls, more like puppets.

"You can all take Dianmu and the Eight Immortals to reshape their bodies." Chen Lan spoke calmly.

"Thank you, Great Emperor!" Lei Gong knelt down with a plop, bowing his head to Chen Lan before rising.

"Then we shall take our leave." Heaven-Howling Dog said, leading the Eight Immortals and Dianmu away.

After they left, Chen Lan took out another Soul, or more accurately, an incarnation.

Looking at the mysterious person's sleeping incarnation in his palm, Chen Lan smiled widely.

He hadn't killed this mysterious person but had instead captured him at his weakest using Soul Dao Power.

But the other side should have realized by now, this incarnation can be kept hidden for future use.
