Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything

Difficulty 51: The Calamity of Zhurong.

Difficulty 52: The Fengmen Village Incident.

Difficulty 53: Fahai's Soul Chase.

...

Jiang Liu sat on the back of the White Dragon Horse, holding the Calamity Book, slowly flipping through it.

After passing through 53 of the 81 Trials, it seemed that they were about two-thirds of the way through in terms of calamities.

In terms of distance, they had covered nearly 70,000 miles, unconsciously the Journey to the West had progressed to this stage.

Another two or three years on this journey, and perhaps it would soon reach its conclusion?

In half a month's time, clearing dungeons, cultivating the Green Lotus Taoist Scripture, and training life professions have yielded a decent amount of experience points.

Adding the 4 billion experience points from the previous two tasks, and considering that 9.9 billion experience points are needed to level up to level 84, the experience bar is about two-thirds full now.

"Relying solely on dungeon crawling for experience points to level up is getting more difficult, I really hope I can encounter more challenges and take on a few more tasks!"

After checking his experience bar, Jiang Liu couldn't help but secretly sigh inwardly.

However, when it comes to tasks, it ultimately relies on chance.

Only if someone else encounters difficulties can I trigger a task, if not, there's nothing I can do.

Moreover, the Journey to the West has already reached the territory of West Niuhe State. Compared to South Zhanbu State, West Niuhe State is slightly more desolate and barren, thus, in this territory, the distribution of the Human Clan is sparse, giving the appearance of vast lands with few people.

If this West Niuhe State weren't under the control of the Buddhist Sect, perhaps it could almost catch up to the chaotic scenes of North Julu State.

As for Jiang Liu, he continued the journey westward, not hastily, appearing rather leisurely.

But these days, prominent figures from the three realms and six paths were becoming restless one after another.

The clues about the Hongmeng Purple Qi had originally been broken, but now, a small lead had surfaced again.

Though no one knew the authenticity of these clues, since some hints had emerged, naturally, everyone would use all their might to vie for it.

Hence, after waiting for some time, some people were beginning to lose patience.

Looking for the whereabouts of that mysterious individual in black, after over half a month had passed, there was no trace whatsoever.

Then, how could one find his whereabouts?

It seemed that in the three realms and six paths, only Gaoyang had an unusual relationship with him?

That day, Gaoyang sat within the Ming Sect, with several sect followers in front of her reporting the latest news.

Regarding the source of that information, the Ming Sect had searched for a long time but still found nothing.

Receiving such a report, Gaoyang's brows lightly furrowed.

Screech...

Just at that moment, suddenly, a loud cry echoed between heaven and earth, sharp and penetrating, audible to everyone in the Ming Sect.

Soon after, the entire sky darkened, giving the impression of turning from day directly to night.

Many from the Ming Sect looked up, their expressions changing drastically.

In the sky, the enormous Kunpeng spread its wings like a descending cloud, shrouding the entire sky.

Soon, its expansive figure withdrew, taking the form of a Taoist Body and directly descended from mid-air to the entrance of the Ming Sect.

In the Ming Sect, led by Gaoyang, the high-level members came out to greet.

"Greetings, Senior Kunpeng!" Gaoyang approached Kunpeng, speaking neither humbly nor assertively.

"Greetings, Princess Gaoyang!" Kunpeng nodded, not appearing difficult to converse with.

Due to the congratulatory event for the founding of the Ming Sect last time, the relationship between Kunpeng and the Ming Sect seemed alright.

Therefore, with Kunpeng's arrival, at least on the surface, the relationship between Kunpeng and the Ming Sect remained quite harmonious.

"Senior, please enter!" Since a guest had come from afar, Princess Gaoyang naturally extended hospitality, directly inviting Kunpeng into the Ming Sect.

After entering the Ming Sect, the host and guest took their seats, and after exchanging a few pleasantries, Kunpeng, with a casual demeanor, said, "Princess Gaoyang, do you know where the mysterious man holding the Tai Chi Diagram resides?"

"Here it comes!" Listening to Kunpeng's words, Gaoyang felt a heavy sensation in her heart.

At this critical juncture, Gaoyang could guess a bit about Kunpeng's purpose, but she didn't expect Kunpeng to be so impatient.

Not even a few pleasantries were exchanged before Kunpeng shifted the topic to the mysterious individual.

"I wonder why Senior Kunpeng is inquiring about him?" Although my mind is as clear as a mirror, on the surface, Gaoyang pretended not to know and asked Kunpeng in return.

"To be honest..."

Hearing Gaoyang's question, Demon Master Kunpeng began, "In the past, our Demon Clan had two emperors, both Du Taiyi and Dijun. I served as the master of the Demon Clan, and my responsibilities to the clan were second only to the two Demon Emperors."

"To this day, our Demon Clan's tenth crown prince has been harmed. As the Demon Master, I naturally cannot stand by idly. There are rumors that this mysterious figure has harmed our Demon Clan's tenth crown prince, so logically and emotionally, I should find this mysterious figure and ask for clarification!"

Demon Master Kunpeng spoke with a sense of righteous duty, which left others seemingly without reason to oppose him.

"This matter doesn't require your concern, Kunpeng!"

However, just as Gaoyang was about to respond, a stern voice suddenly rang out. At the same time, under the blazing sun, Master Wuchao descended with a powerful and intense aura.

Another Quasi-Saint has arrived. As Master Wuchao's figure descended, naturally, Princess Gaoyang had no intention to favor one over the other, and she moved to greet him.

A Quasi-Saint coming is significant, and so is having two.

The core members of the Ming Sect, led by Gaoyang, once again welcomed Master Wuchao inside.

Okay, seeing Master Wuchao's arrival, Demon Master Kunpeng's expression revealed an awkward shade, and he called for the tenth crown prince.

After exchanging pleasantries, there was nothing more to say.

Just when using Master Wuchao as a reason, Demon Master Kunpeng wanted to inquire about the mysterious person in black, but now that the person himself has arrived, Kunpeng naturally has nothing more to say.

"Princess Gaoyang..."

After landing, Master Wuchao nodded at Gaoyang, equivalent to a greeting, and then without further ado, he spoke directly, "My purpose for coming here is exactly the same as Kunpeng's."

"Recently, it has been rumored across the Three Realms and Six Paths that this mysterious person was the one who ambushed me and extracted Hongmeng Purple Qi from my body. Therefore, I wish to confront him, and I hope Princess Gaoyang will give me face!"

"It's not that I refuse to give you face, but truly..." Listening to Master Wuchao, Gaoyang's face showed a troubled expression and she hesitated to respond.

"Hmph, you couldn't even keep Hongmeng Purple Qi in your hand and let it be taken away by someone else, what face do you still talk about? There's no face to speak of!"

Just then, a cold snort suddenly resounded.

Then, a bloody aura appeared, spreading across the heavens and earth, transforming the entire world into what seemed like a bloody hell.

Hearing this, everyone looked up, and beneath the surging Blood Sea, a figure walked out from the Blood Sea, with a little girl by his side.

Looking at the little girl, her brow was marked with a blood-red rune, extremely profound.

It was Ancestor Minghe and Xueyu who had arrived.

"Unexpectedly, even Ancestor Minghe moves so quickly!" Seeing Minghe emerge with Xueyu from the Blood Sea, both Master Wuchao and Demon Master Kunpeng felt a chill in their hearts.

Minghe could be said to be the most timid in the Three Realms and Six Paths, and to this day, no one has ever seen his true appearance.

However, it's undeniable that Ancestor Minghe's strength is beyond dispute and unfathomable!

Moreover, Ancestor Minghe's obsession with attaining saintliness is beyond anyone else's!

With regard to the sainthood conditions of various sages, Ancestor Minghe has always been imitating, yet never surpassing!

"Mother..."

Arriving at the Ming Sect, though Xueyu's expression was cold, upon seeing Gaoyang, her expression softened a bit, and she greeted proactively.

"Hmm, Xueyu is here, come to your mother!"

Ancestor Minghe also came for the Hongmeng Purple Qi, and Gaoyang understood this in her heart, but since he brought Xueyu, this card of familial affection, Gaoyang had to accept it in any case.

"Limitless fortune and longevity..." Following Ancestor Minghe's appearance, shortly after, a brilliant light shone from the sky.

Then, Great Immortal Zhenyuan arrived with the two little Taoist boys, Qingfeng and Mingyue.

"I wonder what brings Great Immortal Zhenyuan here?" Regardless, in terms of status, Zhenyuan is Jiang Liu's sworn brother, so for this reason, Gaoyang had to receive him properly.

"My Wuzhuang Mahjong Monastery was inscribed by Xuanzang Junior himself. Recently, I felt inspired, so I wanted to see if this Flame Cloud Entertainment City's Mahjong had new styles, but unexpectedly, several people had gathered at the Ming Sect..."

Master Zhenyuan said he came for Mahjong, a justification that he found convenient.

"Sigh, Hongmeng Purple Qi, the last sacred position in the heavens and earth..."

Gaoyang certainly understood in her heart, sighing silently.

The so-called bustling of the world is for gain, and the hustle of the world is for profit.

The Quasi-Saints seemed to have made arrangements, coming one after another, whether playing the emotion card or others, the intent was clearly for the Hongmeng Purple Qi.

Gaoyang understood and could empathize with their actions and gestures.
