Chapter 86

Li Qi descended from the Palace of Abhorring Hatred, yet he did not stray far from it. He arrived at the First Heaven where the Hall of Miraculous Mist stood, but left a tiny avatar—resembling an ordinary flying insect—hidden in the Palace of Abhorring Hatred to secretly observe everything. At the very moment Sun Wukong emerged into the world—which was when the alchemy furnace had burned for seven times seven, or forty-nine days—the entire Palace of Abhorring Hatred became transparent. The Tushita Palace also underwent a transformation; it seemed to split away, descending directly into the First Heaven to merge with the Hall of Miraculous Mist located there.
