Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything

Yes, in Jiang Liu's view, Zhu Bajie can really be called a koi.

In terms of identity? You could say he's almost the only disciple of the Human Sect, with such status, it's self-evident.

And then? In card games and Mahjong, his gambling luck seems like it's got cheat codes activated.

Now, my epic level treasure chest yielded a weapon upgrade scroll, and seeing Zhu Bajie's envious look, he wanted one too... and he actually got the exact same one!?

Zhu Bajie's got some cheat codes on, right?

Originally, Jiang Liu thought his gaming system ability was pretty much a cheat.

But thinking about it now, Zhu Bajie's cheats are even more exaggerated than mine, aren't they?

"Hehehe, Master, this, this thing..."

Never mind Jiang Liu's thoughts at the moment, as he watched another identical weapon upgrade scroll being drawn, Zhu Bajie rubbed his hands, looking like he wanted to speak but hesitated, looking at Jiang Liu.

"Okay, once your cultivation level breaks through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal Middle Stage, then we'll talk! Otherwise, even if I upgrade the Nine-Toothed Rake's quality now, you won't be able to use it yet!"

Jiang Liu naturally understood what Zhu Bajie had in mind, and after a moment of silence, he said somewhat helplessly.

"Thank you, Master, hehehe, Old Pig knew it, Master still likes Old Pig!" Listening to Jiang Liu's words, Zhu Bajie's face lit up with joy, he quickly laughed.

Originally, because of those demon issues in the South Zhanbu State, Zhu Bajie had always felt anxious.

This upgrade scroll was actually a test for Zhu Bajie, to see if the master still cared about him.

Sure enough, the master agreed to let him use the upgrade scroll, which made Zhu Bajie's heart very happy, and the anxiety he had felt naturally vanished.

"Alright, Master Xuanzang, the matter here is done, I have nothing else to do, it's time to return to Bodhisattva's side!" At this time, Tingdi interrupted.

Tingdi was not surprised by the events in the Journey to the West Pilgrimage Team.

After all, everything that happened on the Journey to the West Pilgrimage Team's path was almost within Tingdi's control, naturally, Tingdi wouldn't be surprised.

"Hmm, this time, many thanks to the divine beast and Bodhisattva for the help!" Jiang Liu nodded as he expressed his thanks to Tingdi.

"Okay, I will personally convey the mage's gratitude to Bodhisattva!" Tingdi nodded slightly with satisfaction at Jiang Liu's words of thanks.

Once Tingdi finished speaking, it showed no intention of lingering, its body sank directly towards the Netherworld, quickly disappearing in front of Jiang Liu and others.

"Alright, my disciples, things here are just about done, let's get back on our journey!"

Watching Tingdi's figure completely disappear, Jiang Liu thought for a while, then spoke to Sun Wukong and the others.

Yes, the matter of making vows has been resolved, and I really have nothing major to do, so naturally, it's time to continue the Journey to the West.

Although Jiang Liu still wants to go back to the Illusionary Demon Cave, since making such a vow when coming out of it, Tathagata has already expressed forgiveness for my mistakes, which counts as making amends.

Sun Wukong and the others naturally had no objections to Jiang Liu's words.

Thus, Sun Wukong and the others rose, returned to their previous stopping point on the westward path, and continued on their way west.

"Today's dots only add up to 11, just enough to open two epic level treasure chests, I'll wait until I can roll a 12 to open those two divine level treasure chests!" Continuing their westward journey, Jiang Liu glanced at the two divine level treasure chests lying in his inventory space, thinking to himself.

Indeed, divine level treasure chests are of utmost importance, there's no rush to open them.

In Jiang Liu's view, they must be opened when he feels luckiest to maximize the divine level treasure chests' value.

…

After solving the demon issues at Eastern Temple, the vow Jiang Liu made was considered fulfilled, which naturally caught the attention of many high-ranking figures across the Three Realms and Six Paths.

Many of these big shots nodded secretly, feeling admiration for Jiang Liu.

Not only did he make a vow, but he also showed strong determination.

In just two or three months, he managed to successfully complete this task, which made Master Xuanzang indeed impeccable in both character and ability.

No wonder he could become a person of great fortune.

It's known that during the ancient times, two saints of the Buddhist Sect made vows of three thousand great undertakings, which haven't yet been fully realized.

Originally thought that Master Xuanzang's so-called vow would drag on indefinitely like those two saints.

"Wukong, it's getting late today, let's rest here!"

Since the matter of the vow was resolved, Jiang Liu's group continued westward, traveling seven or eight days, roughly two or three hundred miles, and by the time the sun was about to set this day, Jiang Liu spoke out.

"Alright, Master!" Sun Wukong, who was leading the way up front, heard Jiang Liu's words and had no objections, nodding as he stopped.

He took out the Exquisite Immortal Mansion, placed it on the ground, and Jiang Liu's group skillfully entered it.

After the mentor and disciples enthusiastically prepared a sumptuous dinner.

According to plan, they should participate in a dungeon twice tonight.

"Two Taoist friends, the task of entering the dungeon today is entrusted to you two!" However, when Sun Wukong opened the Map of Mountains and Rivers, Jiang Liu spoke to the Good Corpse and Evil Corpse.

"Rest assured, leave it to us!" The Good Corpse and Evil Corpse nodded in succession, naturally without any objection.

Beside him, Sun Wukong and the others were all surprised, looking at their master.

Judging by his demeanor, doesn't Master intend to enter the dungeon tonight? Is he planning to leave?

Where could he be heading to?

Though they felt puzzled in their hearts, seeing Jiang Liu's expression, he didn't seem inclined to share his thoughts openly, and naturally, Sun Wukong and the others didn't press for answers.

As the Good Corpse and Evil Corpse leapt into the dungeon within the Map of Mountains and Rivers, Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, Sha Wujing, and the Little White Dragon also followed suit, entering the dungeon of the Western Spirit Mountain, starting to fight monsters and level up.

After a glance, detecting no anomalies, Jiang Liu took out the Shadow Robe from the space within his pouch and draped it over himself, completely obscuring his appearance.

Immediately, Jiang Liu lowered his stature and headed toward the Netherworld.

Only this time, looking at Jiang Liu's demeanor, he had no intention of lingering in the Netherworld and directly discerned the direction to fly off into the distance.

Before long, Jiang Liu arrived at the entrance of the Ksitigarbha Cave.

"Who goes there!?" Due to the Shadow Robe, the novice monk at the entrance didn't recognize him, and seeing Jiang Liu's covered appearance, the novice monk further suspected him as unscrupulous.

"Enough, stand down now!"

Before Jiang Liu could clarify his identity and purpose, suddenly an elderly yet familiar voice echoed from within the Ksitigarbha Cave, the voice of King Ksitigarbha.

"Yes, Bodhisattva!" Hearing King Ksitigarbha's words, the novice monk dared not obstruct Jiang Liu any longer and stepped aside.

Jiang Liu, without hesitation, walked directly into the Ksitigarbha Cave.

"Greetings, Bodhisattva!" Upon entering the Ksitigarbha Cave, Jiang Liu proactively saluted King Ksitigarbha.

"No need for such courtesy!" King Ksitigarbha waved slightly, signaling that he was not very concerned about such formalities.

After a brief pause, King Ksitigarbha followed up with a question: "Xuanzang, why have you come?"

Indeed, King Ksitigarbha felt quite puzzled. Why had Xuanzang come again without any apparent reason?

Moreover, why has he come disguised?

"Bodhisattva, I have come for matters related to the soul!" Jiang Liu reminded upon hearing King Ksitigarbha's words.

"Oh!" Hearing Jiang Liu's words, King Ksitigarbha appeared enlightened and nodded.

Indeed, Xuanzang had obtained the Tai Chi Diagram. When he initially agreed to help Xuanzang resolve the soul issue concerning Master Golden Cicada once the Tai Chi Diagram was secured.

"Please lend a hand, Bodhisattva!" Jiang Liu spoke to King Ksitigarbha.

Speaking, Jiang Liu directly retrieved the Tai Chi Diagram.

"Actually, you shouldn't have been troubled by Master Golden Cicada lately, right?" King Ksitigarbha took the Tai Chi Diagram from Jiang Liu and said.

"That is indeed the case!" King Ksitigarbha's words stirred Jiang Liu's heart slightly, agreeing with a nod.

Yes, he used to have frequent dreams of becoming a tree, oppressed by the towering tree Master Golden Cicada transformed into.

Recently, he indeed hadn't had such dreams?

"Master Golden Cicada's cultivation level is at the Great Luo Realm. Upon detecting your existence, naturally, two tigers cannot coexist on a single mountain, intolerable, so he sought to eliminate you!"

King Ksitigarbha wasn't in a hurry to take action and instead explained.

"Yes, I understand!" Jiang Liu nodded approvingly and answered.

"But as your cultivation level continues to improve, even under the suppression of Master Golden Cicada, you have grown stronger, particularly..."

At this point, King Ksitigarbha cast a deep look at Jiang Liu before continuing: "Particularly now that you have reached the Great Luo Golden Immortal level, so at this point, he lacks the ability to suppress you further!"

Hearing King Ksitigarbha's words, Jiang Liu nodded, understanding fully.

Both being of Great Luo Golden Immortal stature, he truly had nothing more to fear?

"However, despite Master Golden Cicada's soul posing a potential threat, if this threat can be eliminated, I still hope you can act, Bodhisattva!"

Yet Jiang Liu spoke up, continuing to urge King Ksitigarbha.
