Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything

Jiang Liu's trip to the Netherworld Blood Sea was not hidden from anyone, and with the Journey to the West Pilgrimage Team currently being the focus of numerous great figures, many people were curious following Jiang Liu's visit to the Netherworld Blood Sea.

They wondered what he went to the Netherworld Blood Sea for? Was it to have a discussion with Ancestor Minghe?

Unfortunately, although Jiang Liu's actions weren't meant to be concealed, he wasn't about to announce to everyone what he had been up to.

This left many people puzzled.

As for investigating the Netherworld Blood Sea?

Forget it, Ancestor Minghe may not be a Saint, but in many people's hearts, he is perhaps the strongest being below a Saint.

After all, Nvwa earned great merit by creating the Human Clan and attained Saintliness through the merit path; Ancestor Minghe, too, learned to create the Asura Clan and gained great merit.

Additionally, the Two Saints of the Three Pure Ones and the Western Religion also created a Great Teaching, gaining destiny and merit, similarly attaining Saintliness through successful saintly cultivation; therefore, Ancestor Minghe followed suit by founding the Netherworld Sect, gaining destiny and merit.

In terms of cultivation level, Ancestor Minghe, formerly a Listener at Zixiao Palace, has surely reached the Quasi-Saint Peak?

With the aid of the destiny and merit from creating a race and founding a Great Teaching, it is enough to make Ancestor Minghe much stronger than other Quasi-Saints?

Thus, when it comes to who is the strongest among the Quasi-Saints.

Some say it is Kong Xuan.

Others say it is Ancestor Minghe!

No matter the actual truth, the existence of such a saying is enough to prove Ancestor Minghe's power.

Moreover, the Netherworld Blood Sea is never a place of kindness, so unless necessary, generally, no one wishes to enter the realm of the Netherworld Blood Sea.

Hence, even though many great figures are curious, not understanding why Xuanzang went to the Netherworld Blood Sea, should they actually wish to investigate the Netherworld Blood Sea?

Upon consideration, many just shook their heads and decided to leave it be.

However, the fact that many do not dare go to the Netherworld Blood Sea does not mean that everyone is afraid.

After Jiang Liu left the Netherworld Blood Sea, soon, another figure descended into the Netherworld.

Then, continuing downward, went towards the Netherworld Blood Sea.

This person was none other than the current apparent leader of the Ming Sect, Princess Gaoyang!

...

On a deserted island in the Netherworld Blood Sea, Xueyu sat alone, looking at the Absolute Immortal Sword in his hand, the sense of bloodline fusion made Xueyu understand that he can freely summon the power contained in this sword.

It seems that this sword has already become a part of him, and apart from himself, no one else can use it!

"Master Xuanzang seems to have deep feelings for you!" Just when Xueyu was sitting alone, head down looking at the Absolute Immortal Sword, suddenly, a voice sounded, sitting down beside Xueyu.

"Master!" Xueyu said without raising his head.

Of course, the one who appeared beside Xueyu was none other than Ancestor Minghe...an avatar of him.

"The Absolute Immortal Sword is the weapon of the Saint Sect Master Tongtian, in this world, treasures of higher quality than the Absolute Immortal Sword are rare indeed!"

"Xuanzang was able to obtain this Absolute Immortal Sword, bearing immense pressure, naturally, it is a great opportunity. That he can give it to you shows your importance in Xuanzang's heart is no less than Lingyu!"

Ancestor Minghe appeared very kind in demeanor, sitting beside Xueyu, and spoke.

"Hmph!" Hearing this, Xueyu huffed coldly, evidently disagreeing with Ancestor Minghe's viewpoint, or perhaps just unwilling to agree.

However, he didn't speak a word of rebuttal.

"Xueyu, sometimes, there are things that should be let go, you can put them down, there's no need to carry them always; it's of no benefit to yourself or others!" Ancestor Minghe started, continuing to speak to Xueyu.

Xueyu remained silent, waiting in silence.

"Although I also don't have a favorable view of people from the Buddhist Sect, I must admit that some of their teachings are quite good. For instance, I admire a saying from the Buddhist Sect!"

"The eight hardships of life, besides the four sufferings of birth, aging, sickness, and death, are love separation, unfulfilled desires, enduring resentment, and not letting go!"

"Looking at you, these two points of enduring resentment and not letting go..."

"Master, Disciple wants to cultivate well!" With head down, Xueyu spoke, abruptly interrupting Ancestor Minghe.

Evidently, Xueyu was unwilling to hear what Ancestor Minghe had to say, hence found the excuse to cultivate, and cut him off.

"Ah, fine, these issues ultimately must be resolved by yourself! I will say no more!"

Minghe, having lived for countless years, naturally understood that if someone does not wish to listen, continuing would not only be ineffective, it might even be counterproductive; therefore, he had no intention to continue.

"Uh, wait a moment..."

However, just as the Ancestor of the River Styx was about to turn and leave, suddenly, his expression shifted slightly, and he said, "It seems you don't have time to cultivate now; someone is here to see you!"

...

Gaoyang, after all, was at the cultivation level of a Taiyi True Immortal. Combined with the recent tenfold efficiency of cultivation at the Ming Sect's Enlightenment Hall, her cultivation level had almost reached the Taiyi Middle Stage. Flying in this Netherworld Blood Sea was naturally no problem.

However, just after she had entered the Netherworld Blood Sea, suddenly, a figure emerged from the Blood Sea and blocked Gaoyang's path.

"Princess Gaoyang, I wonder why you have come to my Blood Sea?" the figure asked Gaoyang.

"I have come to search for Xueyu in the Blood Sea; may I know who you are?" Looking at the figure before her, who could immediately reveal her identity, Gaoyang responded politely and directly asked.

"I am the Ancestor Minghe. Since Princess Gaoyang wishes to see Xueyu, that is naturally not a problem!" the figure replied.

"Ancestor Minghe!?" Hearing the words of this person before her, Gaoyang was inwardly surprised.

Had she just arrived at the Netherworld Blood Sea and already received a personal meeting with the Ancestor Minghe? When did she gain such face?

"I didn't know the Netherworld Sect Master would personally visit; I must apologize for my rudeness!" Gaoyang said quickly, startled.

"No need for politeness, I'm merely an avatar. If there's any rudeness, it's mine. I couldn't personally come to congratulate the founding of the Ming Sect!" the Ancestor Minghe spoke.

"Not at all. Mr. Tian Boxun personally came to congratulate the Ming Sect; it's the same thing!" Gaoyang replied.

From the looks of it, the two exchanged words back and forth, maintaining a relatively harmonious atmosphere.

The Ancestor Minghe is said to possess 480 million Master Blood God avatars, and everything in the Minghe falls under his control.

Therefore, sensing that Princess Gaoyang had arrived, the Ancestor Minghe used an avatar for the meeting.

It was giving face to Jiang Liu, and of course, even more so to Sect Master Tongtian.

Continuing their conversation, flying onwards, under the Ancestor Minghe's guidance, Gaoyang flew across the Netherworld Blood Sea, genuinely marveling at the grandeur of the Netherworld Blood Sea.

"By the way, why has Princess Gaoyang come searching for my disciple today?" As they were about to arrive, the Ancestor Minghe suddenly asked Gaoyang in a casual manner.

Before Gaoyang could answer, Minghe followed up, "Have you come for the Absolute Immortal Sword?"

Indeed, with the Green Duckweed Sword in her hand, Princess Gaoyang was almost a spokesperson for Sect Master Tongtian.

Today, the Absolute Immortal Sword had fallen into the hands of Xueyu, and if Gaoyang, representing Sect Master Tongtian, wanted to retrieve it, who could say anything against it?

Moreover, although Princess Gaoyang was very close to Xuanzang, she was also very close to that Mysterious Person.

Xuanzang and the Mysterious Person fought for her; she naturally found it hard to ask Xuanzang for the Absolute Immortal Sword for the Mysterious Person.

So, after learning that the Absolute Immortal Sword had fallen into the hands of Xueyu, did she come to ask Xueyu for it?

"No, I have not come for the Absolute Immortal Sword!" However, in response to the Ancestor Minghe's inquiry, Gaoyang shook her head and directly denied it.

"No!?"

Hearing this, the Ancestor Minghe was slightly taken aback; had he misunderstood?

"Then what is it for..." The Ancestor Minghe pondered; if it wasn't for the Absolute Immortal Sword, why was Princess Gaoyang here? He couldn't figure it out at all.

Given Princess Gaoyang's cultivation level, her flying speed was naturally very fast, and before the Ancestor Minghe could continue to inquire, the two had already arrived at the island where Xueyu resided.

Beside Xueyu stood one Ancestor Minghe, and similarly, beside Gaoyang was another Ancestor Minghe.

The two Ancestor Minghe's came together and directly merged into one avatar.

"You must be Xueyu?" Looking at Xueyu, Princess Gaoyang showed a kind smile.

"What do you want from me?" Xueyu showed no warmth towards Gaoyang, holding some resentment perhaps.

"It's nothing much, just wanted to meet you and confirm your identity!" Gaoyang said, responding.

"Confirm my identity? Confirm what identity?" Xueyu frowned slightly, looking at Gaoyang with some confusion.

"The relationship between Jiang Liu and me is known throughout the Three Realms. If you consider him the center, and see it as a family, I would be the lady of this house!" Gaoyang began by explaining her status.

"Hmm, that makes sense!" Gaoyang's words made the Ancestor Minghe nod inwardly, finding her reasoning valid.

"And as for you, you are considered Jiang Liu's eldest daughter, so as the lady of this family, meeting with the eldest daughter to confirm identities is proper, isn't it? You should call me 'Mother'!" Gaoyang continued, addressing Xueyu.

"Impossible! I don't have a mother! I don't have a mother!" Hearing Gaoyang's words, Xueyu immediately bristled.

Eager to avenge Jiang Liu, claiming the status of Jiang Liu's eldest daughter?

Xueyu was naturally unwilling.
