Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything

Calculation, it's all calculation!

Emperor Ziwei's scheme is actually very simple. Didn't Xuanzang make a vow to resolve the disaster caused by the demons breaking out from the underground prison?

Then, I will simply hide the Feidan.

This way, it can obstruct his vow, naturally causing the entire Journey to the West to come to a halt.

By doing so effortlessly and going with the flow, it can add another trial on the path of the Journey to the West for Scriptures, why not?

This action of mine is much easier than what Empress Qinghua and Emperor of Longevity did before.

And then? When Xuanzang and the others get anxious and can't find the Feidan, I will rely on the sensing left on the Hidden Dragon Pearl to tell them the whereabouts of the Feidan.

In this way, not only can I help them overcome this calamity, but I can also earn great favor from the Journey to the West Pilgrimage Team, why not?

To gain the merit of a test on the Journey to the West for Scriptures and earn the friendship of the team members is a great gain for Emperor Ziwei with the simple act of lending out a Hidden Dragon Pearl.

"Hmm, it seems it's about time to let Xuanzang and the others search for the whereabouts of the Feidan!" After pondering for a moment, Emperor Ziwei nodded to himself, determined in his heart.

Thinking of this, Emperor Ziwei opened his mouth, ready to issue orders for his subordinates to find Xuanzang and the others.

But just then, another Golden Armored God General came running to him.

"Emperor, something seems amiss!" The God General said urgently to Emperor Ziwei, obviously carrying important information.

"Amiss? What do you mean by that?" Emperor Ziwei asked, slightly startled by the urgency of the God General under his command.

"Emperor, I've been keeping an eye on the movements of Xuanzang and Sun Wukong, and I found that Xuanzang is leading Sun Wukong and several disciples, including Tingdi, in a full-scale departure!" The God General urgently reported his observations to Emperor Ziwei.

"A full-scale departure?" Upon hearing this, Emperor Ziwei's eyebrows slightly raised, surprised internally.

If they were searching for the whereabouts of the Feidan, the Journey to the West Pilgrimage Team should have split up, employing various means to find it, right?

But now, they've all mobilized together? Even a full-scale departure?

"Could it be? They've already found the whereabouts of the Feidan?" Emperor Ziwei thought in surprise.

It seems only this could explain why Xuanzang and his group have all mobilized.

But with the Hidden Dragon Pill, I provided to hide Feidan's presence, not even Tingdi should be able to find it.

From these past days, seeing Xuanzang ask for help in various places, it was clear.

But why now can Xuanzang and the others find the location of Feidan?

"No, this matter must be clarified!" Emperor Ziwei thought urgently.

He then looked at the Golden Armored God General and said, "Hurry and follow them to see exactly where they are going!"

"Yes, Emperor!" The God General replied earnestly and then turned to leave.

To Emperor Ziwei, gaining merit through a test on the Journey to the West for Scriptures was his main goal.

But earning the favor of the Journey to the West Team was equally important.

If Xuanzang and the others have found the whereabouts of Feidan, how can I earn their favor?

Moreover, if from Feidan's mouth, Xuanzang learns his hiding was orchestrated by me,

I would not only lose goodwill but also face Xuanzang's questioning!

Yes, questioning!

As a Buddhist disciple, daring to question me, one of the Four Royals?

Originally, in Emperor Ziwei's view, this was impossible,

But Manjushri and Samantabhadra Bodhisattva both died at the hands of Xuanzang. Recently, Xuanzang questioned the Emperor of Longevity in the Longevity Hall, even fighting, causing a mysterious person to appear and leading to the Emperor's downfall.

Through these events, Emperor Ziwei does not doubt that if his role in encouraging Feidan to hide is revealed, Xuanzang would confront him.

Perhaps, with my cultivation level, I need not fear the small team of the Journey to the West.

But the terror of the Immeasurable Kalpa cannot be measured by their cultivation or strength!

"No, I must carefully watch this situation, I hope I'm overthinking, and Feidan won't be easily found!"

After deep contemplation, Emperor Ziwei still felt uneasy and decided to personally observe the Journey to the West Team's actions.

There's no way around it; the Immeasurable Kalpa is so terrifying, I can't be at ease without confirming it myself!

...

Meanwhile, Jiang Liu, holding the Treasure-Seeking Mirror, followed the arrow's direction continuously flying forward.

And Sun Wukong and the others also followed closely beside Jiang Liu, without saying a word.

Just like that, following the direction of the arrow, they flew tens of thousands of miles southwest, and Jiang Liu and the others arrived directly in the South Sea.

After flying another eighteen thousand miles over the sea, finally, Jiang Liu noticed that the arrow on the Treasure-Seeking Mirror had turned into a circle.

It was evident that in the vertical space, he and the Soul-Breaking Needle were now perfectly aligned.

Looking up at the sky, well, it was a clear blue sky.

So, what if he looked down at his feet? Below him was an unknown deserted island.

"It seems that Feidan is hiding on this deserted island, isn't it?" Jiang Liu murmured secretly in his heart as he looked at the island below.

And then, the master and his disciples naturally descended.

Because the arrow on the Treasure-Seeking Mirror pointed to a circle, Jiang Liu understood that the Soul-Breaking Needle was right under his feet.

There was no need to look around the deserted island; he just needed to search straight down.

"Wukong, strike under my feet!" As they landed, Jiang Liu spoke to Sun Wukong.

"Alright, Master!" Hearing Jiang Liu's words, Sun Wukong nodded in response.

Then, he reached into his ear and pulled out the Ruyi Golden Cudgel, directly thrusting it toward where Jiang Liu's feet had been.

With his mind guiding him, as Sun Wukong moved, the Golden Cudgel stretched longer and thicker, stabbing directly into the deserted island below, deliberately trying to startle any hidden foes.

With a loud crash, as Sun Wukong acted, the entire island below trembled violently, almost collapsing.

"Huh? No reaction at all?!" Sun Wukong's thrust caused no upheaval below? This left Jiang Liu secretly surprised.

Could it be? The Soul-Breaking Needle is here, but Feidan isn't coming out?

As Jiang Liu was secretly pondering this, suddenly, he noticed that the arrow on the Treasure-Seeking Mirror reappeared.

Then, it pointed towards another direction.

"Chase!" Seeing this, Jiang Liu naturally didn't want to waste words.

In his mind, he rapidly chased toward the direction the arrow indicated, and naturally, Jiang Liu's figure descended quickly.

...

"What's going on? How is it possible!?"

Lying in ambush, Feidan glanced back at the sky and noticed Jiang Liu and Sun Wukong's party rushing directly at him, shock surging in his heart, feeling incredulous.

After leaving the Heavenly Court, he had hidden on this deserted island. When he was pricked by the Golden Cudgel just now, a flash of anger surged in Feidan's heart, ready to confront them.

However, remembering his pact with Emperor Ziwei, he couldn't expose himself.

So, suppressing his anger, Feidan didn't leap out but continued to conceal himself and turned to flee.

But unexpectedly, even though he had already hidden his appearance and was escaping, upon looking back, these people were still pursuing him.

"Can they track my location? That can't be possible, right?!" With the cultivation level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal Late Stage, Feidan thought it unlikely.

Then, while escaping, he changed his form several times.

However, every time he changed his form, Feidan could see that those pursuing him also changed in tandem, without missing a beat.

Confirmed!

If he had thought it might be a coincidence before, now, having changed forms several times and with them following suit, Feidan understood that their pursuit was no coincidence.

They really knew his location.

"Master, found him!" While chasing Feidan and simultaneously descending in form, Sun Wukong, with his keen eyes, quickly spotted Feidan and shouted.

As he spoke, the Ruyi Golden Cudgel in his hand smashed down fiercely at Feidan again.

With a thud.

Feidan's form was sent flying, landing in front of everyone, his expression somewhat grave as he stared intently at Sun Wukong.

Obviously, the power of Sun Wukong's fierce attack from just now was no trivial matter even for him.

"Finally found him?!" Looking at the ferret-like, sneaky figure, resembling the description of Qiongqi, Jiang Liu murmured to himself.

Of course, Qiongqi was a level 90 strength, how strong could Feidan, one of the ancient top ten demon gods, be?

Curious, Jiang Liu wondered to himself, silently reciting the character panel, and opened Feidan's attribute panel to take a look.
