Chapter 15: Island Construction and Job Classification

Jilei Mountain, Sky Scraping Cave

The Cave Master, Fox King, is currently hosting six great Demon Saints.

"I heard that every time you all gather, the Monkey King is sure to visit."

Fox King asked, "Why have I never seen this Monkey King?"

"The Monkey King has stopped coming, and it seems like he has been writing a book these years."

While drinking, the Demon King laughed and said, "It's called 'Heavenly Craftsmanship', supposedly some kind of creation skill, how laughable, what's the use of writing that."

The other five Demon Saints nodded in agreement.

"Demon is demon, trying to learn how to create things, it's a joke to speak of!"

"I think that Monkey King's mind is really no different from that of humans."

"He is just a freak."

Bull Demon King put down his wine cup and snorted coldly, "What a pity for his talents."

He admitted the monkey was very capable, but he misused it – always thinking about creating things– doesn't seem like a demon at all.

"I originally wanted to get along with him, but he wouldn't listen to advice, didn't even allow eating human flesh, what demon would endure being restricted by him, endure this nonsense?"

Bull Demon King asked.

The other Demon Saints all agreed; if the Monkey King hadn't been so strange, they would also have wanted to befriend him.

However, Fox King was disappointed with these six Demon Saints, and after hearing their comments, he secretly shook his head.

"These six great saints are short-sighted. Not worth deep association."

As the meeting ended, Fox King bid farewell to the six Demon Saints and returned to his cavern, ordering his daughter to pack, "We're moving to Huaguo Mountain."

Jade-faced Fox was surprised, "Father, why do we need to move all of a sudden?"

"This is not a place for long-term stay."

Fox King said, "I have several long-lived friends, who now reside at Huaguo Mountain."

Those demons had previously praised the Monkey King greatly, declaring Huaguo Mountain as the suitable place for settling.

Fox King, old and weakening, couldn't live much longer. Eating human flesh or not didn't matter to him; he wanted to find a secure place to stay.

Huaguo Mountain was that place.

Among the Four Great Continents, every gathering place for demons attracted the Western forces and the Heavenly Court's reprisal—only Huaguo Mountain, with its friendly neighborhood and mutual respect, gave no cause for persecution by the Immortals.

Fox King made his decision, taking his daughter and his subordinate demons, embarking on the journey to Huaguo Mountain.

And they were just a small part of the demon group migrating to Huaguo Mountain.

By now, 'Heavenly Craftsmanship' had been released for five years at Huaguo Mountain, with demons still continuously attracted to it.

Not only demons were arriving from outside, but also some human cultivators. Ao Luan conducted thorough screenings, even expanded the town by ten times, yet the town was still overcrowded.

Shuilian Cave was discussing how to further expand the town.

"The town can't be expanded further, we must move a mountain from overseas to accommodate them."

Elephant Demon King advocated not developing Huaguo Mountain further: "The mountain moving task can be assisted by the Earth God."

Deer Demon King objected: "No, that would cause the Heavenly Palace to blame us!"

"What's there to fear from blame?"

Fox Demon King laughed heartily, "We are powerful, and we are not doing anything bad, what's moving a few mountains?"

These three Demon Kings, having come to power after the old Demon Kings left, were showing great enthusiasm.

Sun Wukong turned his gaze towards a middle-aged human man.

"Great King, the Heavenly Rules are very strict, we better proceed with caution."

He said to Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong agreed, "There's no need to consider moving mountains for now, let's wait for Ao Luan's news first."

He sent Ao Luan to the Dragon Palace of the East Sea to seek help. If the Dragon King refuses to assist, they would have to relocate a mountain from Huaguo Mountain again.

The Dragon Palace of the East Sea, also known as the Crystal Palace.

Ao Luan had returned to the Crystal Palace a day ago. After conveying the Monkey King's request to the East Sea Dragon King Aoguang, Aoguang set her aside and called a few brothers.

"Wise Monkey wants us to gather corals from the Four Seas to construct a new island near Huaguo Mountain. What do you think, should we help him?"

Aoguang asked.

The other three Dragon Kings discussed for a long while. The Wise Monkey has thought through it meticulously, using corals to build an island wouldn't violate the Heavenly Rules.

But the magnitude of this project would require the help of all the Four Sea Dragon Kings, which was somewhat troublesome for them.

"Big brother, is the Wise Monkey worthy of us forming a good bond with him?"

South Sea Dragon King Ao Qin asked.

Aoguang stroked his beard, "I believe the Wise Monkey will achieve great things in the future, he is certainly worth befriending."

Ao Qin immediately thought of the Heavenly Craftsmanship, a book that not just anyone could write. It was also beneficial to their Dragon Clan.

"Alright, I agree to help."

Ao Qin consented.

North Sea Dragon King Ao Shun also nodded.

The three Dragon Kings turned their gaze to West Sea Dragon King Ao Run, only to see Ao Run suddenly burst into laughter, "Big brother, I was wondering what happened to your daughter, but it turns out she has found herself a fine appointment."

Aoguang's heart jolted, what did Ao Run mean by that?

"Big brother, don't overthink it."

Noticing Aoguang's expression, Ao Run chuckled, "I'm just congratulating you for finding a wise son-in-law."

Aoguang's thoughts were exposed, and he blushed slightly, hastily waving his hands.

"It's still early for that!"

But his expression confirmed he harbored such thoughts.

The three Dragon Kings shared a laugh; the Wise Monkey was a top-tier demon in the world, befriending him would bring no harm to the Dragon Clan.

"I also agree to help."

With Ao Run's word, the Four Sea Dragon Kings reached a consensus.

When the seas were calm, the Dragon Kings used their mana to gather coral sand and algae from the Four Seas, building up around five reefs near Huaguo Mountain. In just a few days, they created the shapes of five small islands.

Sun Wukong thanked the Dragon Kings, leading all the demons and human cultivators to carry soil and sand from the seabed and deserts. After half a year, the five small islands were solidified into shape.

After shaping, little demons planted rare flowers and peculiar trees on the islands, and cultivators brought out stored Sweet Rain Immortal Water to cleanse the islands and foster the growth of the trees.

In just one year, five small islands emerged out of nowhere around Huaguo Mountain, appearing from the clouds above like five green gems blossoming in the sea.

With the islands shaped, the residential issue was resolved. Sun Wukong then divided the work of Huaguo Mountain into five major categories, establishing academies on the five islands to teach various skills to humans.

These five categories are: administrative and official work, craftsmanship and technical work, agricultural and aquacultural production work, trade and service work, and combat work.

The idea of work classification came from the Heavenly Book, and Sun Wukong made some modifications, focusing on technology and production, with personnel making up eighty percent.

This was a major classification. Due to the different era, Sun Wukong delegated the further subdivision of work to four old monkeys.

The old monkeys completed the subdivision in a month. Although there were still some minor issues, it did not hinder the promotion.

With clear work divisions, the direction of learning for demons became clearer and more orderly.

Huaguo Mountain thus became the first place in the Four Great Continents to implement work classification learning.

Another merit accomplished.
