Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything

Chapter 963: Great Emperor, You Owe Me an Explanation



The Soul-Returning Spell was cast, as a strange ray of light seeped from Jiang Liu's fingertips, landing on Feidan.

Then, in Jiang Liu's eyes, he could see the wound on Feidan's chest, which had pierced through him, rapidly healing. Although it wasn't completely cured, it was visibly much improved.

Simultaneously, on Feidan's corpse, the previously emptied health bar reappeared with a small portion, and the ashen color on his face quickly faded.

"What? Resurrection!? Just a simple flick of the finger!" Watching Jiang Liu cast the Soul-Returning Spell right in front of him, Emperor Ziwei's expression changed dramatically.

Among the Immortals and Buddhas, although there are means of resurrection, they are few and far between, with numerous limitations.

Especially for those with higher cultivation levels, it becomes increasingly difficult to resurrect after death.

Just like those above the Heavenly Immortal Realm, and the registered deities, their souls fall into the hands of Ksitigarbha after death.

He is an impartial being, hence resurrection is extremely difficult.

But, Feidan was someone I executed, a Late Stage Great Luo Golden Immortal. Logically, after being killed, he shouldn't be able to be resurrected.

Lost souls fall into the hands of Ksitigarbha, awaiting him to arrange their reincarnation.

But what happened? I had just killed Feidan moments ago, and then Xuanzang casually moved his finger and resurrected him?

How is this possible?

Such a skill, even the Great Jade Emperor and Tathagata would find it impossible, right?

Yet Xuanzang could do it?

Is this the core of the Immeasurable Kalpa of the Journey to the West? Is this the means possessed by one blessed with destiny?

...

As for what thoughts stirred within Emperor Ziwei's heart, Jiang Liu naturally paid no heed, his full attention was on Feidan.

After coming back to life, Feidan touched his chest, still in severe pain, a confused look in his eyes.

Wasn't I killed by having a flying sword pierce through my chest? Why am I alive again?

What is going on?

"Feidan, you haven't finished what you needed to say..." At this moment, Jiang Liu spoke, addressing Feidan.

"Master, was it you who resurrected me!?" Upon hearing Jiang Liu's words, Feidan quickly grasped the current situation, asking Jiang Liu.

In truth, there was no need for Jiang Liu to respond, as Feidan could already realize that his guess wasn't wrong.

Emperor Ziwei came before him, so who else could have been the one who just killed him? Is there any need to think further?

Since the one who killed him was Emperor Ziwei, then the one who resurrected him must be this Monk before him.

Emperor Ziwei appeared, harboring intentions of killing to silence, causing Feidan both shock and anger.

Simultaneously, Feidan was astonished by the Monk before him.

I was dead, yet he could bring me back to life? Who exactly is this Monk!?

Moreover, the fact that Emperor Ziwei struck to kill him, yet this Monk even resurrected him?

Isn't this clearly showing no regard for Emperor Ziwei's face?

Is there anyone within the Buddhist Sect capable of such feats?

"Enough with the nonsense, I'll ask you again, where exactly did you get the Hidden Dragon Pearl?" Jiang Liu asked, persistently questioning Feidan.

Emperor Ziwei's gaze was filled with threatening intent towards Feidan.

Yet, Feidan completely ignored Emperor Ziwei's threatening gaze.

Without further hesitation, he replied, "I got this Hidden Dragon Pearl as a gift from Emperor Ziwei!"

"A gift!?" Feidan's words made Jiang Liu look at him earnestly.

Then, after glancing at Emperor Ziwei, he said, "You better clarify your words, Emperor Ziwei claims you stole the Hidden Dragon Pearl from him, not that it was given to you!"

"Master, think about what kind of person Emperor Ziwei is? He is one of the Four Sovereigns, wielding tremendous power in the Heavenly Court, do I have the guts to steal things from him!?" Feidan practically screamed.

As he spoke, he looked at Emperor Ziwei, without the slightest intention of retreating, and said, "This Hidden Dragon Pill, wasn't it you who gave it to me, telling me to hide well and not be discovered by anyone else? Yet, a dignified member of the Four Sovereigns, you dare not admit what you've done?"

Emperor Ziwei's face turned extremely grim.

He wished to silence Feidan with violence for his words.

However, he had just done that moments ago, and somehow Xuanzang effortlessly resurrected him.

Therefore, he couldn't even silence him.

"This is the end, things are becoming troublesome now!" Though his face was grim, Emperor Ziwei's heart was trembling.

Originally, his plan was flawless, without any anticipated complications.

But here, an unexpected occurrence?

Originally certain of success, only to face mistakes, is this the terror of the Immeasurable Kalpa!?

Indeed, I underestimated the Immeasurable Kalpa, it's completely unpredictable!

"What should I do? What should I do next?" Emperor Ziwei pondered silently in his heart.

With my cultivation at the Great Luo Peak, logically, if I turned away, Xuanzang and the others shouldn't be able to stop me, right?

However, at this point, Emperor Ziwei deeply understood the terror of the Immeasurable Kalpa.

Thus, I dare not make a move again, contemplating how exactly to get through this calamity!

Yes, this Immeasurable Kalpa is also a killing calamity.

If a real fight breaks out, there's no guarantee I won't lose my life here!

Logically, my cultivation should be enough to protect myself.

However, in this Immeasurable Kalpa, matters of common sense have become very unreliable!

"Great Emperor!"

Putting aside Emperor Ziwei's sullen face, his heart already quietly panicking, Jiang Liu looked earnestly at Emperor Ziwei, asking, "May I ask the Great Emperor, how do you explain what takes place in Feidan's mouth!?"

"Utter nonsense! Feidan is spewing utter nonsense!" At this moment, I certainly can't admit any wrongdoing, just gritting my teeth, denying it to the death.

Therefore, Emperor Ziwei spoke up, "I am one of the Four Sovereigns of the Heavenly Court, facing these demons, I should be committed to eradicating evil completely. Moreover, there's no kinship between Feidan and me, there was even some resentment in the past, how could I help him without reason?"

At this point, Emperor Ziwei could only rely on his identity to suppress others.

I am one of the Four Sovereigns of the Heavenly Court, Master Xuanzang couldn't possibly choose to trust demons and suspect me, right?

"Hmm, the Great Emperor's words do make sense indeed!"

Listening to Emperor Ziwei's analysis, Jiang Liu slightly nodded, seemingly agreeing with Emperor Ziwei's perspective.

Upon hearing Jiang Liu's words, seeming to trust Emperor Ziwei, Feidan became anxious.

But, before he could speak, Jiang Liu raised his hand, made a gesture of silence, stopping Feidan from speaking.

Jiang Liu's gaze fell upon Emperor Ziwei, then changed his tone and said, "However, even though Great Emperor's words are reasonable, from another angle, there's a flaw!"

"You are one of the Four Sovereigns, highly revered, Feidan is just a demon, without any evidence, why would he come to accuse the Great Emperor? This doesn't make sense, does it?"

Indeed, though from a status perspective, Emperor Ziwei is more dignified and trustworthy.

But, Jiang Liu's words also have a point.

A demon, without any reason, would dare to accuse Emperor Ziwei?

This is also highly unlikely, right?

"Why they accused me, that's the demon's own business. The people under the heavens, it's impossible for everyone to accuse me and for me to find ways to prove my innocence, right?" Emperor Ziwei said to Jiang Liu.

"Different stances lead to different actions deemed correct." Jiang Liu nodded slightly, showing understanding towards Emperor Ziwei's words.

Once he finished speaking, Jiang Liu signaled to Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong didn't waste any words, raising his hand, golden light shot out from his hand, transforming into two golden flood dragons, moving toward Feidan in a cross pattern.

Suddenly, Sun Wukong made a move, completely catching everyone off guard, Feidan attempted to dodge but was unable to.

The two flood dragons formed by the Golden Flood Dragon Scissors crossed at his neck, and then a fine head flew up.

Naturally, with his head cut off, Feidan was dead beyond dead.

The head fell to the ground and rolled a few times, Feidan's eyes filled with bewilderment.

Clearly, he didn't understand why Sun Wukong made a move.

Moreover, they had just resurrected him moments ago, why turn around and kill him?

Unfortunately, even in death, Feidan wouldn't know the reason.

Looking at the sudden, violent action with the Golden Flood Dragon Scissors, Emperor Ziwei tightened his grip on the Divine Sword.

The terror of the Golden Flood Dragon Scissors, he was clearly very aware.

Moreover, Emperor Ziwei was now in a confused state.

What happened? Just earlier, he killed to silence, Xuanzang resurrected Feidan, but how much time passed? They turned around and killed Feidan again?

Notification: Gained 37 million Experience Points, acquired 1,200 taels.

With Feidan being killed, the system notification sounded in Jiang Liu's mind.

Alright, the blue UI of level 88, compared to Maitreya's level 90 blue UI, was only two levels lower, yet the Experience Points were nearly ten times different.

Indeed, Maitreya is a character at the Treasure level, isn't he?

"Amitabha Buddha!" Whatever thoughts Jiang Liu had inside, they naturally didn't show on the surface.

After chanting a Buddhist name, Jiang Liu's attention returned to Emperor Ziwei.

"The Great Emperor's words, from your perspective, indeed are correct, but from mine, I have my own insistence! Therefore, Feidan must be killed, so I have killed him!"

"And his last words, I think, the Great Emperor owes me an explanation!"
