Under One Person: I Opened the Age of Mythology

Chapter 547

Sun Wukong took the jade slip, his gaze quickly sweeping over the dense data, his fingertips lightly tracing the surface of the jade slip, his eyes gradually becoming profound.

He raised his head, looked at Nezha, and frowned slightly:

"The frequency and intensity of this spiritual energy leakage have exceeded expectations, indicating that there is indeed a problem with the material of the sand table."

Nezha nodded, a hint of solemnity in his expression:
“Great Sage, I suspect that during the sand table’s creation process, some materials failed to fully fuse, causing the spiritual energy to be unevenly distributed, thus leading to the leakage.”

Sun Wukong pondered for a moment, then turned his gaze to Venus, speaking in a calm tone:
"Venus, does the Heavenly Court have any alternative materials in its weapon-refining material inventory?"

Venus stroked his long beard, pondered for a moment, and then replied:
“Great Sage, this old minister remembers that there is a batch of ‘Mysterious Heavenly Star Sand’ in the weapon-refining warehouse. It is a top-grade material for refining high-level magic weapons. It has excellent toughness and can perfectly bear spiritual power. If we use it to refine the sand table, it may solve the problem of spiritual power leakage.”

"it is good!"

A hint of approval flashed in Sun Wukong's eyes, and he then gave the order.

"Jin Xing, immediately gather these materials and arrange for the best weapon refiners in Heaven to assist Nezha in creating a new sand table as soon as possible."

Venus nodded slightly, turned and strode away, his long robe fluttering in the wind, his steps steady yet hurried.

Sun Wukong looked at Nezha again, his tone firm:
"Nezha, you will personally supervise the re-creation of this sand table to ensure that every step is done perfectly. If there are any problems, report to me immediately."

Nezha nodded solemnly, his eyes filled with utmost seriousness:
"Rest assured, Great Sage, I will do my utmost and will never let you down."

Sun Wukong nodded, a hint of encouragement in his eyes, then waved his hand:

"Go, time is of the essence, you must act quickly."

Nezha responded, turned around and walked away quickly, his steps firm and swift, his silver armor gleaming coldly in the sunlight.

Yang Jian remained standing to the side, his gaze fixed intently on Sun Wukong, a hint of concern in his voice:
"Great Sage, now that the problem with the sand table has been resolved, will the subsequent training need any adjustments?"

Sun Wukong pondered for a moment, then slowly said:
"Once the sand table issue is resolved, the accuracy of the star simulation will be greatly improved, and the training program for the celestial soldiers will also need to be optimized accordingly. Yang Jian, you continue to follow up on the training of the celestial soldiers to ensure that their adaptability can keep up with the changes in the new sand table."

Yang Jian nodded in agreement:

"Don't worry, Great Sage, I will further adjust the training plan based on the data from the new sand table to ensure that the heavenly soldiers are in the best condition."

Sun Wukong nodded in satisfaction, a hint of approval in his eyes:
"Very good. You are always reliable in your work, and I trust you."

Yang Jian bowed slightly, his tone calm and steady:
"It is my honor to share the burden of the Great Sage."

Sun Wukong stood up, put his hands behind his back, and walked to the steps outside the hall, gazing intently at the training ground in the distance.

The setting sun cast its last rays upon him, elongating his tall figure. He paused for a moment, then murmured to himself:
"The perfection of the astrological manipulation technique is not only related to the future of the Heavenly Court, but also to the safety of the Three Realms. We must not be negligent in the slightest."

Inside the hall, the fragrance of sandalwood wafted through the air, filling it with a faint, woody aroma, as if adding a touch of solemnity and grandeur to the upcoming exploration of the stars.

Three days and three nights later—

Nezha returned to the Qitian Palace with the newly refined sand table. Although he looked tired, his eyes were filled with excitement.

He strode up to Sun Wukong, his voice tinged with excitement:
"Great Sage, the new sand table has been completed. Please take a look."

Sun Wukong took the sand tray, examined it carefully for a moment, and gently ran his fingertips across the surface of the sand tray, feeling the spiritual energy flowing within it.

After a moment, he nodded, a hint of satisfaction in his voice:
"As expected, the spiritual energy is evenly distributed, and the leakage problem has been completely resolved. Nezha, thank you for your hard work."

Nezha smiled slightly, his eyes revealing a sense of accomplishment:
"It is my duty to share the burdens of the Great Sage."

Sun Wukong handed the sand table to Taibai Jinxing beside him and instructed him:

"Venus, immediately arrange for someone to deliver the new sand table to the training ground, in preparation for a new round of astrological manipulation drills."

Venus accepted the sand table and respectfully replied:

"This old minister will make the arrangements immediately."

After he finished speaking, he turned and walked away quickly, his long robe fluttering in the wind.

Sun Wukong looked at Yang Jian again, a hint of expectation in his eyes:
"Yang Jian, how is the training of the heavenly soldiers going?"

Yang Jian stepped forward, his tone calm and steady:

"Great Sage, the heavenly soldiers have been adjusted based on the data from the new sand table, and the training results are remarkable. Their adaptability has improved, and their reaction speed has also increased."

Sun Wukong nodded in satisfaction:

"Very good. In that case, let's begin a new round of drills immediately. Yang Jian, you will personally direct the drills and ensure their smooth progress."

Yang Jian nodded solemnly:
"Don't worry, Great Sage, I will do my best."

Moments later, dark clouds gathered again over the training ground, and amidst lightning and thunder, the exercise of celestial manipulation officially began.

Nezha stood in front of the sand table, his fingers flying across the stars, simulating complex celestial phenomena.

Yang Jian stood in the center of the arena, holding a silver spear, his eyes fixed intently on the performance of the heavenly soldiers.

Venus, on the other hand, stood on a high place, holding a jade slip, ready to allocate resources for support at any time.

The exercise lasted for two full hours. As the light of the last star went out, the storm over the training ground gradually subsided.

Nezha let out a long sigh of relief, turned to look at Sun Wukong, and his eyes showed a hint of excitement:
"Great Sage, the drill has been successfully completed, and the simulation results are exactly as expected!"

Yang Jian also stepped forward, his tone tinged with pride:
"The heavenly soldiers performed exceptionally well, with their reaction speed and teamwork meeting expectations."

Sun Wukong nodded in satisfaction, his gaze sweeping over the crowd, his tone carrying a deeper meaning:
"The success of this exercise proves that our efforts have not been in vain. However, the refinement of astrological manipulation techniques still requires further exploration. Next, we need to summarize our experience and discuss the next steps."

After he finished speaking, he turned and walked towards the Qitian Hall, instructing the guards to convene a meeting of all those who had participated in the drill.

Inside the Qitian Hall, everyone gathered together in a solemn and respectful atmosphere.

Sun Wukong sat in the main seat, his gaze sweeping over everyone, his tone calm and steady:

"Gentlemen, the success of this exercise is inseparable from your efforts. But next, we need to summarize our experience and discuss the next steps. Please feel free to speak your minds."

Inside the Qitian Hall, wisps of sandalwood smoke rose gently, and sunlight filtered through the glazed tiles of the roof, casting dappled shadows that reflected on the solemn faces of everyone present.

Sun Wukong sat in the main seat, his fingers tapping lightly on the table, making a subtle rhythmic sound, his deep gaze sweeping over everyone.

"Gentlemen, the success of this exercise proves that our efforts have not been in vain."

Sun Wukong's voice was steady, with a hint of satisfaction in it, but he immediately changed the subject. "But next, we need to summarize our experience and discuss the next steps. Nezha, you should first report on the performance data of the new sandbox."

Nezha stood up, his silver armor gleaming coldly in the sunlight.

He walked to the center of the hall, unfolded the jade slip in his hand, and gently traced a line on the jade slip with his finger. A light screen instantly appeared, on which various data were densely arranged.

"Great Sage, the performance data of the new sand table has been preliminarily determined."

Nezha's tone was tinged with excitement as he looked intently at Sun Wukong.

"Its stability far exceeded expectations, the spiritual energy was evenly distributed, and the accuracy of the astrological simulation improved by nearly 30%. Especially under high-intensity energy fluctuations, the sand table was still able to maintain a stable operating state."

After he finished speaking, he lightly tapped the screen with his finger, zooming in on the details of a set of data, and continued:
"This is the spiritual energy fluctuation curve of the sand table when simulating a stellar storm. As you can see, the fluctuation amplitude is controlled within a very small range, with almost no deviation."

Sun Wukong nodded, a hint of approval in his eyes:
"Very good, Nezha, the creation of this sand table is a great success. Thank you for your hard work."

Nezha smiled slightly, his eyes revealing a sense of accomplishment:
"It is my duty to share the burdens of the Great Sage."

Sun Wukong then looked at Yang Jian, his tone carrying a hint of inquiry:
"Yang Jian, how are the Heavenly Soldiers performing in actual combat under the latest training program?"

Yang Jian stood up, his silver spear pausing slightly in his hand, producing a soft metallic clanging sound.

He walked to the center of the hall and looked intently at Sun Wukong:
“Great Sage, the heavenly soldiers have improved under the latest training program, especially when dealing with low to medium intensity spiritual energy fluctuations, their reaction speed and teamwork have been significantly improved.”

He paused for a moment, his brow furrowing slightly, his tone carrying a hint of seriousness:
"However, some celestial soldiers are still inadequate when dealing with high-intensity spiritual energy fluctuations. In particular, their spiritual energy barrier will fluctuate briefly at the moment the energy peak occurs, which may leave hidden dangers in actual combat."

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong lightly tapped his fingers on the table, producing a crisp sound.

He pondered for a moment, then turned his gaze to Yang Jian:

"Yang Jian, what suggestions do you have?"

Yang Jian bowed slightly, his tone firm:
“Great Sage, I suggest further optimizing the training program, especially in dealing with energy peaks, and adding specialized training. At the same time, we can consider introducing higher-level spiritual energy protection formations to enhance the overall defensive capabilities of the heavenly soldiers.”

Sun Wukong nodded, a thoughtful look in his eyes:

"Your suggestion is excellent. Immediately begin adjusting the training program to ensure that the celestial soldiers can cope with even higher intensity spiritual energy fluctuations."

Yang Jian nodded solemnly:
"Rest assured, Great Sage, I will do my utmost."

Sun Wukong then looked at Venus, his tone carrying a hint of inquiry:
"Venus, what are your thoughts on the allocation of resources for future astronomical observations?"

Venus stood up, holding a jade slip, his long robe fluttering in the wind.

He walked to the center of the hall and looked at Sun Wukong with a calm gaze:
"Great Sage, your humble servant has drafted a preliminary resource allocation plan. According to the latest observation data, the intensity and frequency of celestial activities are expected to increase in the future, especially the abnormality in sunspot activity, which may have a greater impact on celestial observations."

He paused, then lightly tapped the jade slip with his finger. A light screen appeared, detailing the resource allocation process:

"Therefore, I suggest that the Heavenly Court's observation resources be concentrated at a few key observation points to ensure that changes in celestial activities can be accurately captured."

Sun Wukong nodded slightly, a hint of approval in his eyes:
"Jin Xing, your plan is very comprehensive. Arrange for its implementation immediately."

Venus respectfully replied:
"Your humble servant obeys."

Sun Wukong pondered for a moment, his tone carrying a hint of depth:
"In addition, the unusual celestial activity observed recently also needs to be taken very seriously. Venus, you continue to follow up and report the latest observations to me as soon as possible."

Venus bowed slightly:

"Rest assured, Your Majesty, this old minister will certainly keep a close watch on things."

Sun Wukong scanned the crowd, his gaze sharp and his tone resolute:
"Gentlemen, the perfection of the astrological manipulation technique is crucial to the future of the Heavenly Court. We cannot afford to be negligent in the slightest. Next, I have decided to launch the fifth phase of the experiment to further verify the performance of the new sand table and strengthen the training of the heavenly soldiers."

He stood up, his gaze sweeping over everyone in the hall, his voice steady and powerful:
"Yang Jian, you are responsible for optimizing the training program for the celestial soldiers, ensuring they can cope with higher-intensity spiritual energy fluctuations. Nezha, you continue to follow up on the subsequent testing of the sand table to ensure its performance is stable. Venus, you are responsible for coordinating resources to ensure the smooth progress of observations and experiments."

The crowd responded in unison:

"As ordered!"

Sun Wukong nodded slightly, then walked out of the hall with firm and steady steps.

He stood on the steps outside the Qitian Hall, his hands behind his back, gazing intently at the sky.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on him, making his tall figure appear long and slender, as if he had merged with the heavens and earth.

On the distant training ground, the shouts of the heavenly soldiers rose and fell, their silver armor gleaming coldly in the sunlight.

Sun Wukong gazed at the bustling training ground, a thoughtful smile playing on his lips.

"The future of the Heavenly Court may lie hidden among these vast stars."

He murmured to himself, his voice filled with unwavering determination and anticipation.

He withdrew his gaze, turned around, and slowly walked back into the hall. His footsteps were steady and powerful, echoing in the empty hall.

Inside the hall, the celestial officials remained standing in their respective positions, their eyes respectfully fixed on Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong walked to the main seat and sat down, raising his hand to signal everyone to calm down, and then slowly began to speak.

"This fifth phase of the experiment is time-sensitive; all preparations must be completed within three days. Nezha, compile the experimental data in detail and submit it to me at dawn tomorrow."

Nezha immediately responded with a salute.

As dusk deepened outside the palace, the lights of the Heavenly Court could be seen lighting up one after another through the palace windows.

Sun Wukong's gaze swept over everyone in the hall, his expression calm and dignified.

He slightly raised his hand, signaling everyone to calm down, and then slowly began to speak:
"Nezha, Venus, the problem of spiritual energy leakage in the sand table must be resolved within three days without fail."

Although his tone was calm, it conveyed an undeniable air of authority.

Nezha stepped forward, his expression focused, a hint of thought in his eyes:

“Great Sage, I suspect the problem lies with the materials used in the sand table's forging, causing the spiritual energy to circulate unstablely. If we could reforge it using Xuan Tian Star Sand, perhaps the leakage problem could be completely resolved.”

Venus stroked his long beard and nodded slightly:

"This old minister also believes that Xuan Tian Xing Sha is the best choice. This material has excellent toughness and can perfectly bear spiritual power, making it perfect for sand table."
