Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything

For several days, Jiang Liu had remained motionless, and during these days, Jiang Liu had consumed dozens of Mana Potions, depleting almost all the Mana Potions in his inventory space.

In his heart, Jiang Liu hesitated, knowing that continuing like this was not a solution.

Could it be? Was he going to have to open the store interface next and spend money to buy a batch of Mana Potions to maintain his current state?

If so, would he not only be unable to level up by fighting monsters, but also waste time and even invest money?

After several days of standoff, Jiang Liu felt extremely weary, as if he might fall asleep at any moment, but he instinctively maintained the Eighteenth Grade Lotus Platform with his mana.

Whoosh!

However, just then, a palm imprint suddenly appeared and struck Gaoyang, completely crushing her as her form dissipated into light smoke.

This situation startled Jiang Liu, causing him to widen his eyes in shock.

The person who made the move was none other than the Tathagata himself!

"Tathagata...?"

Staring at the figure who had suddenly struck and turned Gaoyang to ash, disbelief filled Jiang Liu's heart. Why would the Tathagata appear here out of the blue?

"Amitabha, Xuanzang, I was supposed to confer upon you the title of Sandalwood Merit Buddha, but you harbored wild ambitions and even dared to overturn the Great Thunder Monastery. Today, I shall execute you right here!" the Tathagata declared with a stern voice as his gaze fell upon Jiang Liu.

"The Buddha has discovered the truth about my Journey to the West?" Hearing the words of the Tathagata, Jiang Liu's heart tightened.

After some thought, a slight idea flickered in his mind. Could this Tathagata also be an impostor?

After all, why would the Tathagata suddenly appear in this Illusionary Demon Cave and expose the truth about his journey to the Western Heaven?

To say what he feared most, aside from ghosts and Gaoyang being plotted against by the Buddhist Sect, was of course being discovered by the Tathagata about the true purpose of his scripture-seeking journey.

Character UI!

Looking at the Tathagata who had suddenly appeared before him, Jiang Liu muttered to himself and opened up the character UI.

He saw that this Tathagata's level was 71 with a blue UI.

Put simply, this was slightly stronger than the female ghost he had encountered before, but the strength was merely an aspect of the character UI. Given that the Tathagata was of Quasi-Saint Level, it was clear that this Tathagata was a fake.

Setting aside what Jiang Liu thought after confirming the identity of the Tathagata, the Tathagata raised his hand and aimed a gigantic palm at Jiang Liu.

The sense of being targeted by the palm felt just like being swatted at like a fly.

Watching the massive palm descending upon him, Jiang Liu maneuvered the Eighteenth Grade Lotus Platform to meet it while he himself leapt boldly towards the Tathagata.

Although this Tathagata was a bit stronger than Gaoyang and the female ghost from before, Jiang Liu had since leveled up from 61 to 64, significantly boosting his strength.

The battle with the Tathagata, though feeling the intense pressure, enabled him to still hold his ground.

Weakness Talisman, Strengthening Body-Protection Spell, Strengthening Demon-Subduing Mantra, Vajra Mantra...

Buff and Debuff abilities continuously flew out.

Meanwhile, skills like Silencing Zen and Sheep Transformation Technique were also ceaselessly used on the Tathagata.

He also had the recently learned Wrath of Vidyaraja, a very effective control skill, adding variety to Jiang Liu's combat style.

At that moment, Jiang Liu felt as though he was soloing the Thunder Monastery dungeon in the Map of the Nation.

Again, he was battling the Tathagata, only that the Tathagata in this Illusionary Demon Cave was much stronger than the one in the dungeon.

With Jiang Liu at level 64, defeating the Tathagata was indeed not easy.

However, potions and two recovery methods kept Jiang Liu's endurance up.

Therefore, with a strategy of trading blow for blow, although Jiang Liu's health bar decreased faster than the Tathagata's, he also had health recovery skills.

After about half an hour of back and forth fighting, Jiang Liu's health was still around half, but the Tathagata was already in a critical state.

The Tathagata's hand was raised again.

However, in an instant, Jiang Liu activated the Shadow Swap ability of his Colored Glaze Staff, and with a flash, he appeared right beside the Tathagata.

Almost simultaneously, an empty potion bottle that had been beside the Tathagata swapped places with Jiang Liu.

Wrath of Vidyaraja!

A powerful aura explosively emanated from Jiang Liu, and the Tathagata next to him was pushed back significantly by the force, falling into a dazed state.

Palm Thunder!

Taking advantage of the Tathagata's dazed state, Jiang Liu quickly placed his hand on the Tathagata's forehead, and fierce lightning swept through the Tathagata's body in an instant.

Notification: Gained Experience Points 428600, acquired Fire Tip Spear, acquired money 580 liang.

As Jiang Liu defeated the Tathagata, the system notification sounded at that moment.

"What? What just dropped?"

Hearing this, Jiang Liu was stunned, hardly able to believe his ears.

Over 420,000 Experience Points, a significant leap from the female ghost before.

But what truly shocked Jiang Liu was the weapon that dropped, the Fire Tip Spear!?

Although he had seen many Dharma Treasures from the Era of Deification and even the Primordial times in the shop, this was still his first time getting a drop, wasn't it?

Without wasting words, Jiang Liu quickly opened his inventory space, and sure enough, a Fire Tip Spear with red tassels appeared before him.

As Jiang Liu's gaze fixed on it, the attribute information of the Fire Tip Spear also surfaced in front of him.

Fire Tip Spear (Epic Level): Requires Level 70, Attack +275000, Special Effect: Attack Speed +20%, Durability 1800/18000.

"Ss, what a treasure!"

Looking at the attribute information of the Fire Tip Spear, Jiang Liu couldn't help but gasp in shock and delight!

His own Colored Glaze Staff, a Legendary Level Equipment for Level 58, should have been obsolete by any logic, but the special effect of Shadow Swap still seemed decent to him.

So, even though there were equipments slightly above Level 60, Jiang Liu hadn't bothered to switch.

But the additional attack power of the Colored Glaze Staff was only 25,000, whereas that of the Fire Tip Spear was almost ten times that of the Colored Glaze Staff.

Then, the mere Shadow Swap special effect seemed insubstantial.

"It's just that the Fire Tip Spear requires Level 70 to equip, and I'm only Level 64 right now. Even with the Black Jade Prayer Beads lowering the gear requirement by 5 levels, I still need to reach Level 65 to use it!" Although the attributes of the Fire Tip Spear thrilled him, seeing its level requirement made Jiang Liu shake his head in disappointment.

An experience requirement of 800 million points would take him almost a month to achieve, wouldn't it?

"Eh, wait a minute..." Just then, Jiang Liu's mind suddenly stirred.

He remembered that he had obtained a Nine Revolutions Golden Pill from Supreme Elder Lord a long time ago, but had always been too afraid to use it because of the terrible side effects.

Now that he was Level 64 and had already attained the Immortal Path,

maybe it was time to consume that Nine Revolutions Golden Pill?

With that thought, Jiang Liu took out the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill from his inventory.

Nine Revolutions Golden Pill (Consumable): Upon consumption, grants 2,560,000,000 Experience Points. Subsequent uses, effect 0. Note: The lower the level when consuming the pill, the greater the side effects, may reduce or nullify Experience Points earned from battles and cultivation.

Looking at the attribute information of the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill, anticipation surged within Jiang Liu.

A whopping 2.56 billion Experience Points! With his current strength, he should not suffer any side effects.

Opening his mouth, Jiang Liu directly swallowed the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill.

Although it seemed to take a long time to describe, in reality, from the moment Jiang Liu opened his inventory space to check the Fire Tip Spear's information to swallowing the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill had only taken about ten seconds.

"Jiang Liu, save me, save me..."

Just as Jiang Liu had just swallowed the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill, suddenly, the sound of running erupted, and Gaoyang loudly pleaded for Jiang Liu's help.

"Hmph, die!"

But before Jiang Liu could even move to save her, Tathagata appeared again, raised his hand, and directly smacked down towards Gaoyang.

With one slap, how could Gaoyang resist Tathagata's palm? She was directly reduced to ashes.

He glanced once at Tathagata's level information, which was the same as before at Level 71 on a blue UI.

Almost at the same time, the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill transformed into an enormous amount of cultivation, suddenly sweeping through Jiang Liu's entire body, making a vast aura burst forth from him.

Notification: Gained 2,560,000,000 Experience Points.

Notification: Level up to Level 65.

Notification: Level up to Level 66.

Following the consumption of the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill, three system notification sounds chimed instantaneously, boosting Jiang Liu's level straight to 66.

Without any further ado, as his level reached 66, Jiang Liu immediately put his Colored Glaze Staff aside.

At the same time, he took out the Fire Tip Spear from his inventory space.

Whew!

Tathagata's palm rose again, fiercely smashing down towards Jiang Liu.

Yet, facing Tathagata's attack, Jiang Liu stood his ground without dodging. Flames of bright red fire suddenly ignited on the Fire Tip Spear, and he swept it directly towards Tathagata's palm with the Fiery Slash skill.

With a thunderous boom!

The blazing Fire Tip Spear collided with Tathagata's giant hand, sparks of fire and spraying golden light everywhere.

Under the strike of Fiery Slash, Tathagata's giant handprint was shattered.

"Impressive! Out with the old, in with the new! A Level 70 Epic Level weapon truly stands out! Worthy of being the Fire Tip Spear of Third Prince Nezha!" Watching as he shattered Tathagata's handprint, Jiang Liu secretly rejoiced.

Third Prince Nezha is considered a treasure, and yet the Fire Tip Spear is undeniably his primary weapon, which clearly shows its incredible power.
