Journey to the West: Please Call Me the White Bone Demon

Initially, Yun Zhao's idea was to turn this place into a demon king's power, similar to Lion Camel Ridge or Flower Fruit Mountain.

But he quickly dismissed the idea.

These monsters are really lacking in talent.

Within a radius of a thousand miles, there are only a dozen or so people who can be considered to have "some potential," most of them are at the early stage of Earth Immortal, and a few have barely reached the threshold of the middle stage of Earth Immortal.

The rest, including those who had just completed the Refinement of Emptiness and Integration with the Dao, those in the early stages of Transformation, and even those who had not yet fully transformed, accounted for more than 90%.

Such trash could be smashed to death by Sun Wukong's staff, or sent flying by Zhu Bajie's rake. They wouldn't even be good enough to be a punching bag for Sha Wujing.

"Distorted and deformed..."

Yun Zhao muttered to himself and shook his head.

Expecting them to achieve anything significant is probably harder than climbing to heaven.

If that's the case, why not try a different way of playing?

Suddenly, a brilliant idea struck him, and a playful smile appeared on his lips.

"Since I can't become an elite soldier... I'll just be a demon citizen in a peaceful and prosperous world."

Once the thought arose, Yun Zhao no longer hesitated.

He raised his hand to the sky, and a brilliant purple-gold light shone from his palm. The physical power of the first five stages of the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique erupted without reservation.

Rumble!

The entire main peak of Baihu Ridge trembled violently.

The demons looked up in terror and saw that Yun Zhao's figure had grown to a hundred feet tall, like an ancient god or demon, with surging Xuanhuang primordial energy around him and his magical power as vast as the sea, covering the sky and the earth.

He loosely clenched his fists and then ripped them apart violently!

It was as if a gaping hole had been torn open in the heavens and earth.

The eastern half of the White Tiger Ridge mountain range, a majestic mountain range spanning thousands of miles, was directly uprooted from the earth's veins by him using his supreme supernatural powers!

Rocks crumbled, rivers dried up, ancient trees were uprooted, and dust blotted out the sky.

The mountain range, like a toy held in the hand of a giant, was slowly moved hundreds of miles away, falling into the distant wilderness and creating a huge basin.

Where there was no one, only a huge U-shaped plain remained.

In the center of the plain lies a fertile land as smooth as a mirror, naturally surrounded by the remaining mountain ranges, forming a natural basin that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Yun Zhao nodded in satisfaction.

"From this day forward, this place shall be named 'White Tiger Town'."

His voice was not loud, yet it pierced through the void and reached the ears of every demon.

The demons were stunned into silence.

They had never seen such supernatural power before.

Bai Ling was already kneeling on the ground, her eyes filled with fanatical worship.

Yun Zhao had no time to pay attention to their shock.

With a flick of his sleeve, countless purple-gold talismans flew out, transforming into streaks of light that fell across the plains.

"Listen up, all of you!"

"From this day forward, you are no longer permitted to reside in this cave!"

"White Tiger Town will be like a human city, with streets, alleys, houses, and dwellings!"

"Within three months, construct three main streets, complete with taverns, gambling dens, teahouses, theaters, brothels... everything you could need!"

"Hundreds of acres of spiritual fields will be cultivated to grow spiritual rice and spiritual vegetables!"

"The streets must be swept clean daily; they must not be dirty or messy!"

The demons looked at each other in bewilderment.

Build houses? Open streets? Farm? Open taverns and gambling dens?

They've spent their whole lives wandering in the mountains and fields, how would they know these things?

But who dares to disobey the Lord's command?

Bai Ling was the first to react, standing up and shouting, "The master has given an order! What are you waiting for?!"

She took the lead, leading the group of loyal little demons she had previously subdued, and began to measure the land and plan the streets and alleys.

Seeing this, Yun Zhao smiled slightly, gently tapped the plan in his mind, imprinted it into the mind of the White Bone Demon, and then transmitted his voice: "Bai Ling, I entrust this matter to you for supervision."

"You shall make all the rules and regulations in the town."

"If you do well, you will be richly rewarded."

Upon hearing this, Bai Ling's pretty face flushed red, and she trembled with excitement: "Ling'er will certainly not fail the master's trust!"

Thus, an unprecedented "monster town construction movement" was launched in Baihu Ridge.

In the beginning, the demons were in a state of chaos.

They didn't know how to make bricks, so they used their demonic powers to burn mountain rocks into rough bricks; they didn't know how to lay tiles, so they used animal skins, leaves, and vines to haphazardly build roofs; the streets were crooked and the houses were leaning to the east and west, looking like a shack haphazardly piled up by a group of drunkards.

But Yun Zhao was not in a hurry.

He often stood in mid-air, offering pointers.

"This street is straight and twenty zhang wide."

"A stage will be built here, facing south, with an open space in front of the stage that can accommodate a thousand people to watch the performance."

"Taverns should have private rooms, gambling dens should have halls of different sizes, and brothels... well, they should be built more lavishly."

At first, the demons were confused, but Bai Ling patrolled the area every day with the Eye-Slaying Pearl. Anyone who dared to slack off or be perfunctory was immediately struck by a beam of divine light, causing them unbearable pain.

After several attempts, the demons dared not slack off anymore and learned very quickly.

Yun Zhao would also occasionally bring out some "novel gadgets" from his memories of later generations.

He used his magic to conjure a huge crystal curtain, which he hung above the stage, and used illusion magic to record the operas, storytelling, and mythological stories he had seen in his previous life.

What does "thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river" mean? Don't underestimate a young person's potential.

Resurrect, my love.

How could one know the hardships of life in one's early years, yet still allowed to soar freely among mortals...

The demons were dumbfounded and their blood was boiling.

"Three hundred years east of the river, three hundred years west of the river; never underestimate a weak demon!"

"Break through, my realm!"

……

The entire town of White Tiger was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

Some of the more clever monsters quickly learned how to run a business.

"Fairy Wine," brewed from spirit fruits, began to appear in taverns. It was spicy on the palate but had an unforgettable aftertaste. Gambling dens invented dice games, bullfighting, and mahjong tiles. Yun Zhao casually taught a few mahjong techniques from his previous life, and they instantly became popular throughout the town.

Not to mention brothels, where fox spirits, flower fairies, and snake demons, who were born with seductive charms, were transformed into alluring beauties after Yun Zhao gave them a few pointers on the essence of the "service industry" from their previous lives.

In just six months, Baihu Town has taken initial shape.

The main street is wide and flat, with houses on both sides arranged in a neat and orderly manner. Although they are not ornately decorated, they are clean and tidy.

Wine flags fluttered in the streets and alleys, and shouts of vendors rose and fell.

The spirit fields were filled with spirit rice and spirit vegetables, and the monsters worked hard every day, reaping a bountiful harvest.

Every night, the stage is packed with people, and the monsters watch with rapt attention.

Inside the gambling den, shouts and laughter filled the air, and spirit stones gushed forth like water.

……

Those who originally wanted to cultivate immortality, attain enlightenment, and become great demons have unknowingly become completely addicted to it.

"What's so great about cultivating immortality? You can meditate for hundreds of years and still not necessarily break through."

"Following the Lord, eating and drinking to your heart's content, gambling and watching plays, sleeping with demons in your arms—that's what I call a life of pleasure!"

"Yes! The path to immortality is long and uncertain, it's better to be a carefree demon in White Tiger Town!"

Gradually, cultivation became a secondary pursuit, while pleasure became the primary pursuit.

White Tiger Town became the only truly peaceful town in the Three Realms, established by a demon.

Yun Zhao occasionally patrolled the streets, watching those little demons who were once fierce and menacing now wearing coarse cloth shirts, chewing grass roots, squatting on the side of the street playing chess, drinking, and bragging, their faces full of satisfaction and laziness.

He couldn't help but chuckle softly.

"Cultivating immortality... it's all for nothing."

"Since I can't give you the path to immortality, I'll give you... a path to enjoy happiness." Yun Zhao smiled faintly.

But in his heart he thought, "That's perfect, it'll lend me a hand!"

Bai Ling followed behind him and respectfully said, "Your Majesty is wise."

"These little demons were originally of mediocre talent and had no hope of becoming immortals. Now, thanks to the Lord's grace, they can live a happy life here, which can be considered a blessing in disguise."
