Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything

Jiang Liu naturally didn't know the situation on Wutian Buddha's side.

After having a brief chat with Wutian Buddha and seeing that he did not respond anymore, Jiang Liu naturally did not have the intention to initiate further conversation with him.

After calming his mind, he continued flying forward with Fahai, and soon they arrived near Flame Cloud Entertainment City.

Immediately, under Fahai's curious gaze, Jiang Liu removed the Shadow Robe from his body, revealing his true face.

"Holy Monk, it's really you! I didn't expect it to be you!" Seeing Jiang Liu taking off the Shadow Robe, Fahai's face was also filled with joy as he spoke to Jiang Liu.

"You are unaware of many major events in the Three Realms and Six Paths, so you don't understand why I used the identity of a mysterious figure in black to do many things that cannot be known by others. But the fact that the mysterious figure in black is Xuanzang, you must never reveal this!"

Seeing the joy on Fahai's face, Jiang Liu emphasized and urged him once more about this matter.

"Rest assured, Holy Monk, I've got it!" Hearing Jiang Liu's serious reminder, Fahai clearly understood the gravity of the matter, so he nodded seriously with a determined expression.

After the words fell, a hint of hesitation appeared on Fahai's face, and then he spoke: "Holy Monk, thank you for risking yourself to rescue me from the Demon Realm. But now that I've left the Demon Realm, where should I go next? Should I return to Xuanzang Temple?"

"Considering your current situation, returning to Xuanzang Temple isn't very suitable. Moreover, with your cultivation level at the Great Luo Golden Immortal Middle Stage, going back to Xuanzang Temple would be overkill!" Jiang Liu gently shook his head as he spoke, responding to Fahai's question.

"Then, what should I do next? Please, Holy Monk, give me guidance!" Fahai slightly nodded and spoke, completely following Jiang Liu's lead despite his current cultivation level at the Great Luo Golden Immortal Middle Stage.

This attitude hasn't changed even with his current cultivation achievement.

"Actually, with your current cultivation level, you could go anywhere in this world!" Hearing Fahai's words, Jiang Liu said.

Indeed, there are only about two to three hundred beings of the Great Luo Golden Immortal level in the entire Three Realms and Six Paths. While it may seem like a lot, it isn't much compared to the entire world.

Don't you see that the Great Nirvana Temple, as the strongest force in the Demon Realm, under Wutian Buddha's command has only nine Great Luo Golden Immortal-level experts?

Moreover, now that Fahai also has the cultivation level of the Great Luo Golden Immortal Middle Stage.

Even Erlang God Yang Jian's cultivation is merely at the Great Luo Golden Immortal Early Stage.

"Are you implying, Holy Monk, that from now on, my actions will be guided by my own nature, and you will no longer concern yourself with me?" Hearing Jiang Liu's words, Fahai merely looked at Jiang Liu and asked.

"How could that be? If that were the case, I wouldn't have spent so much effort to rescue you from the Demon Realm!" Hearing Fahai's words, which seemed to carry a bit of grievance, Jiang Liu replied.

"In my previous life, I was the abbot of Xuanzang Temple, and now, my original intention remains unchanged. I wonder if you have a suitable arrangement for me, Holy Monk?" With neither the Buddha's fate nor connection, he faced the Buddha himself; having lived in the Mortal Realm for decades, Fahai clearly saw what many in the Buddhist sect are like.

In the Buddhist Sect, if anyone truly possesses compassion, in Fahai's view, Master Xuanzang would be one.

Towards him, there is both admiration and gratitude.

Therefore, no matter in past life or present, and regardless of whether he possesses cultivation, Fahai is willing to follow Jiang Liu.

It must be said, Fahai's words secretly moved Jiang Liu's heart.

After pondering for a while, he said: "If that's the case and you are willing to follow my command, then go to Ming Sect!"

"Ming Sect?" Fahai looked at Jiang Liu with inquiry.

Though he possesses the cultivation level of the Great Luo Golden Immortal Middle Stage, regarding affairs between the Immortals and Buddhas, or even among cultivators, he is not particularly clear.

Naturally, the so-called Ming Sect is completely unheard of by Fahai.

"The situation of the Ming Sect is like this..." Seeing Fahai's ignorance, Jiang Liu, not surprised, then explained the general circumstances of the Ming Sect to Fahai.

"Of course..."

At the end of his explanation, Jiang Liu added an instruction: "Currently, very few in the world know that the Sect Hierarch of Ming Sect is actually me. Therefore, this must remain a secret, and if possible, please do not divulge it!"

"Okay, Holy Monk, I understand and will certainly keep it a secret!" Upon hearing Jiang Liu's words, Fahai nodded heavily, appearing solemn.

However, by the end, there was a somewhat peculiar expression on Fahai's face, and then he spoke to Jiang Liu: "Holy Monk, I find that you seem to have quite a few secrets on you. Do you have any other secrets? Just tell me all at once. I fear if I am not clear, I might inadvertently expose some of your secrets!"

"Other secrets, huh?"

Hearing Fahai's words, Jiang Liu pondered briefly, then shook his head and said, "No other secrets in particular, but perhaps what you see and hear in the Ming Sect might be quite transformative. I hope by then, you won't be too surprised!"

"Don't worry, I've been through many things and am already accustomed to peculiarities!" Fahai said casually, hearing Jiang Liu's words.

Indeed, who could have imagined that Master Xuanzang would transform into a mysterious black-clothed man and enter the demon realm directly to rescue him?

Moreover, possessing unbelievably powerful forces? One Lotus Spell unleashed a terrifying tremor, and recalling such strength always fills Fahai's heart with indescribable awe.

Having witnessed this, what else could possibly surprise him?

Seeing Fahai's indifferent demeanor, Jiang Liu smiled knowingly, opting not to say more.

Is it truly because he's jaded? Or has visiting the Ming Sect altered many of his beliefs? We'll see what Fahai is like then.

After a bit more idle talk, Jiang Liu pointed the way to the Ming Sect for Fahai without any intention of wasting time.

"Head south from here, about a hundred miles out, there's a Flame Cloud Entertainment City, and that's where the Ming Sect's headquarters is. Once you're there, someone will meet you!" Jiang Liu pointed towards the Flame Cloud Entertainment City and spoke to Fahai.

"Alright, understood, Holy Monk, until we meet again..." Fahai clasped his hands together upon hearing Jiang Liu's words and nodded.

With that, Fahai turned around and flew towards Flame Cloud Entertainment City.

Watching Fahai's departing figure, Jiang Liu smiled slightly, then opened his friend list and sent a message to Gaoyang, informing her about Fahai and asking her to make the necessary arrangements.

With a cultivation level at the Great Luo Golden Immortal Middle Stage, Fahai's strength is indeed formidable, making him a valuable core strength for the entire Ming Sect.

As Fahai left, Jiang Liu's heart stirred slightly with contemplation.

At this point, it seems that the forces under him are indeed very impressive.

The Black Wind Mountain forces under the Black Bear Demon, the Water Clan forces from Jing River Dragon Clan, the Spider Demoness in Pansi Spider Cave, the forces under Demon King Ox and Red Boy, the three demons of Tiger, Deer, and Sheep...

And recently, many demons, ghosts, and monsters attracted by Flame Cloud Entertainment City, making this force quite strong as well,

In addition, there isn't a shortage of high-end combat power.

Firstly, the Journey to the West group of five, except for Sha Wujing whose level is slightly lower, everyone else is above level 80.

Then there's Demon King Ox, Scorpion Demon, Mysterious Bird, and now Fahai, who are all cultivators at the Great Luo Golden Immortal level.

And there's Gaoyang, wielding the Green Duckweed Sword, capable of unleashing its power, and possesses strength at the Quasi-Saint level.

Additionally, Red Boy, though his cultivation hasn't reached the complete Great Luo Golden Immortal level like Little White Dragon, with his Fire Spirit Body's aptitude, after merging Samadhi True Fire and True Sun Fire, received a Fire Essence Pill gifted by Kunpeng...

The destructive power of Red Boy's flames now has also reached the Great Luo Golden Immortal level.

It should be noted, Great Nirvana Temple has only nine Great Luo Golden Immortal level powerhouses under its command.

Now with Jiang Liu's Journey to the West Pilgrimage Team combined with the forces of the Ming Sect, in some sense, it seems not weaker than the Great Nirvana Temple, right?

"Wutian Buddha plans to launch a disaster against the Buddhist Sect, mainly because his own strength is enough to suppress everything, but he also needs the support of the Heavenly Dao. Since the Heavenly Dao is on his side, it enables the Buddhist Sect to endure the thirty-three years of calamity, so although my current forces are quite good, I'm still far from being able to battle at Spirit Mountain!"

Thinking that his current forces seem not weaker than the Great Nirvana Temple, Jiang Liu's heart naturally warmed somewhat, but soon he shook his head silently, cooling his enthusiasm.

Notification, completed the "Lost Souls" task, earned 1.8 billion Experience Points, obtained 1 Epic Level Treasure Chest.

As Jiang Liu's heart was silently comparing his forces with the Great Nirvana Temple, an alert suddenly rang in his mind, waking him from deep thoughts.

The 1.8 billion Experience Points credited made Jiang Liu's experience bar advance another notch.

However, upgrading to level 84 requires a full amount of level 99 Experience Points, which still seems far off.

Reaching the Great Luo Golden Immortal level, upgrading to the Quasi-Saint cultivation level is indeed increasingly difficult; each level up is exceedingly challenging...

"Ah, if only I could have ten or eight Level Upgrade Coupons now, wouldn't that be wonderful..." Jiang Liu mused over the difficulty of leveling up, and glanced at the Level Upgrade Coupons in his inventory.

If he had them, he could break through to the Quasi-Saint level now, couldn't he?

Of course, these are mere unrealistic fantasies; Jiang Liu shook his head, setting those thoughts aside for now.

At level 83, his current level is already very high; the path still needs to be traversed step by step, and meals are to be eaten bite by bite.

Shifting his gaze from the Level Upgrade Coupons, Jiang Liu looked to the side, where he had acquired an Epic Level Treasure Chest with the completion of the task.
