Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything

Fairy Zixia, turned around and returned to the Moon Palace. After all, she had spent quite some time with the team on the Journey to the West. She trusted Jiang Liu; since he had promised to return the Map of Mountains and Rivers, Zixia chose to believe him.

If that mysterious woman came again, she would ask her to come and demand it herself, or even accompany her to retrieve it.

Honestly, Zixia also found Jiang Liu's words very reasonable. At the same time, she was extremely curious about the identity of that mysterious woman.

This was a good opportunity to perhaps clarify who she was.

"Master, you're right, the woman behind Zixia is sneaky, she doesn't seem like a good person at all!" After Zixia left, Sun Wukong nodded to Jiang Liu in agreement.

Having spent even more time with Jiang Liu, Sun Wukong understood Jiang Liu's character very well.

Although the master was from the Buddhist Sect, he was different from the old Tathagata; the master was a man of his word. Since he promised to hand over the Map of Mountains and Rivers later, he surely wouldn't make it difficult for Fairy Zixia when the time came.

"Enough talk, Monkey, quickly unfurl the Map of the Nation. The master and Xiaobai need to continue practicing inside!" However, Jiang Liu wasn't interested in chatting and urged Sun Wukong to open the Map of Mountains and Rivers.

As the saying goes, books are read by being borrowed, and similarly, the Map of Mountains and Rivers might have to be returned in a few days. While there was still some time, it was natural to make the most of it and improve his Cultivation Level.

In the following days, Jiang Liu entered the Map of Mountains and Rivers to clear instances even more frequently.

In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.

During that half month, Jiang Liu had cleared instances two to three hundred times. Each time, he would gain around 300,000 Experience Points. Therefore, with the instances and additional meditation and Life Profession training during free time, he had amassed approximately 90 million Experience Points.

"Character panel!"

After completing another instance, Jiang Liu emerged from the Map of Mountains and Rivers and saw that it was already late. Having cleared over ten instances that day, he felt somewhat tired. With a thought, he pulled up his character panel.

After checking his character panel, Jiang Liu nodded to himself. To level up to level 58, he needed a total of 150 million Experience Points.

But now, his Experience Points had almost reached 140 million, and it wouldn't be long before he leveled up.

"Master, it's getting late. Shall we have a good meal and rest?" As Jiang Liu opened his character panel and was examining it, the White Dragon Horse next to him spoke up.

After going through over a dozen instances, Jiang Liu was tired, and naturally, the White Dragon Horse who had been clearing instances with him, was also exhausted.

"Yes, that's fine. Let's stop here for today!" Hearing what the White Dragon Horse said, Jiang Liu nodded and then threw out the Exquisite Immortal Mansion, where the disciples and he went in to rest.

Ding ding ding!

After entering the Immortal Mansion and while cooking with smoke curling upwards, suddenly, the message notification from the friends list rang.

Jiang Liu opened it and saw it was a message from Red Boy.

"Holy Monk, many Dharma Treasures have appeared in the treasury recently! You're really amazing!" The first sentence was to praise the items in the treasury.

In these days, with two to three hundred instances cleared as well as Life Profession training, the equipment that had dropped and had been smithed was plentiful, enough to arm countless members of the Demon Clan!

"Also, a few days ago, a very powerful Female Demon came to Flame Cloud Cave, the Scorpion Demon. She said she came on your orders, Holy Monk. Her methods are really impressive. My father tried to take advantage of her but got hurt by her Inverted Horse Stake! With her ability, it would be enough for her to replace me as the Vice Sect Hierarch of Ming Sect!"

"Demon King Ox got injured?" Reading the second message, Jiang Liu smiled knowingly.

Although Demon King Ox's feelings for Princess Iron-Fan were genuine, he was known to be fickle in love. It was not surprising that Demon King Ox was tempted by the Scorpion Demon's rare beauty throughout the three realms.

But the Scorpion Demon was a rose with thorns, so it was no wonder Demon King Ox suffered a loss.

While he was amused inwardly, Jiang Liu considered the situation and still sent Red Boy a message: "Don't worry. The Vice Sect Hierarch of Ming Sect is you and no one else. And as for the Scorpion Demon? She doesn't have much desire for power and probably prefers being alone. So just let her be!"

"Ah?!" Over at Red Cloud Entertainment City, Red Boy was briefly stunned upon seeing the message Jiang Liu sent, then turned towards the gambling table where the Scorpion Demon was thoroughly enjoying herself, looking slightly confused.

"Holy Monk, did you say she likes being alone? But it doesn't seem like that at all from what I see! She's been here for two to three days now, spending every day and night in the Entertainment City!"

"Uh..." Hearing Red Boy's response, Jiang Liu was a bit dumbfounded.

What's going on? The Scorpion Demon is having such a blast? Wasn't she always alone in the Pipa Cave?

Could it be that in the chaotic mix of Fish and Dragon, she didn't have to worry about anything in the Flame Cloud Entertainment City, so she let herself go completely?

"Well, if she likes to play, let her enjoy herself. No problem!"

A Golden BOSS existence at the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, who could stay within the Ming Sect, would become the main force to confront the Great Thunder Monastery of the Western Heaven in the future. It was no big deal to let her play around in the city of entertainment.

Next, Jiang Liu naturally made thorough inquiries about the development situation of the so-called name.

The Black Bear Demon of Black Wind Mountain and Jinchi, along with the Yellow Wind Monster and others, plus the renown of the Flame Cloud Cave and Demon King Ox, had attracted many idle demons and ghosts to the entertainment city. Thus, thanks to the popularity of the Flame Cloud Cave, the Ming Sect's covert power was increasing by the day, and the number of demons in the sect had reached thousands.

Among them, Demon King Ox and the Scorpion Demon, both at the Great Luo Golden Immortal Level, were considered the pinnacle of combat power.

"Hmm, this development is not bad!" After chatting with Red Boy about the development of the Ming Sect, Jiang Liu nodded with satisfaction.

After they had talked about everything that needed to be discussed, Jiang Liu closed the communication with Red Boy and focused on cooking.

Soon after the meal was ready, the master and disciples naturally had a good feast.

...

In the Moon Palace, Zixia, who had returned, was staying inside the palace as usual, quietly waiting for the arrival of that mysterious figure.

Sure enough, one day, while Zixia was alone, this mysterious figure appeared.

"How was it? Have you managed to get back the Map of Mountains and Rivers?" The figure appeared behind Zixia and, without beating around the bush, directly asked.

"I'm sorry, I didn't get it back!" Hearing the figure's words, Zixia replied with a bit of difficulty in her expression.

"What's going on!? Could it be that they want to keep my treasure map for themselves!?" As Zixia spoke, it was apparent from the tone of the figure that they were feeling angry.

"No, the Holy Monk Xuanzang has agreed to return it, but he said he wants to personally return it to the owner of the Map of Mountains and Rivers!" Seeing the figure getting angry, Fairy Zixia hurriedly explained.

"Why is that!? The Map of Mountains and Rivers was given to them through you; it's only logical for you to ask for it back!" The mysterious figure still seemed unhappy.

"I don't know why. Perhaps the Holy Monk has other considerations?" Zixia shook her head with a clueless expression, then carefully looked at the shadowy figure before her and said, "Or should I accompany you to make another visit?"

Hearing Zixia's offer to personally accompany them on another visit, the figure's anger seemed to subside a bit. After thinking it over, they nodded and said, "In that case, let's go!"

As the words fell, the mysterious figure waved their hand, and Zixia felt the world spinning around her. At the same time, the surrounding scenery changed so rapidly that it was dazzling and seemed indistinct.

However, as quickly as this feeling came, it went. After an indeterminate amount of time passed and Zixia came to her senses, she found herself in the Mortal World, standing in front of the Exquisite Immortal Mansion.

Having lived there for a while, Zixia recognized it as the house where Sun Wukong and the others stayed.

"That was fast, wasn't it? It only took a moment to get here. This speed must be faster than Monkey's Somersault Cloud, right?" Seeing the Exquisite Immortal Mansion before her, Zixia was secretly astonished and glanced at the mysterious figure, finding it unbelievable.

"Hmph, Journey to the West for Scriptures? It seems they have really been enjoying themselves along the way, with feasting and merrymaking, sightseeing and leisure!" Looking at the Exquisite Immortal Mansion before them, the mysterious figure snorted lightly, seemingly disdainful of those associated with the Buddhist Sect.

Zixia stepped forward and gently knocked on the large door of the Exquisite Immortal Mansion, saying, "Holy Monk, Monkey, I've come..."

Following Zixia's knock, it wasn't long before Sha Wujing opened the door. He looked at Zixia and, of course, his gaze then fell on the mysterious figure beside her, showing a look of astonishment.

A dark shadow with barely discernible feminine contours—Sha Wujing was seeing someone like this for the first time.

"Please come in, both of you, please come in!" After a moment of surprise, Sha Wujing immediately invited Zixia and the mysterious figure inside.

"No need. I've come to collect my Map of the Nation; I'll leave once I have it. Have Xuanzang come out to see me!" the mysterious figure said straightforwardly without hesitation.

"Amitabha!" Hearing the conversation at the door, Jiang Liu walked out.

Truthfully, seeing this shadowy mass, he too was surprised.

However, he remained composed on the surface, greeting them verbally while silently invoking a thought.
