Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything

Soon, the eyelashes of the King of the Black Chicken Country twitched a few times, and then, his eyes gradually opened.

"Thank you, Holy Monk, for saving me!" After waking up, the King of the Black Chicken Country uttered his thanks to Jiang Liu, his expression brimming with joy.

Clearly, having had his throne usurped and been dead for so many years, now being able to return to life and reclaim his royal seat was, naturally, a matter of great joy for the King of the Black Chicken Country.

"No, there's no need to thank me, helping others is the motto of this humble monk!"

Looking at the King of the Black Chicken Country expressing his thanks, Jiang Liu always remembered the night his wronged soul had come to his room. He always felt very uncomfortable, and so he waved his hand and spoke.

"Thank you, Holy Monk!" After the King himself had offered thanks, the Crown Prince and several civil and military officials of the Black Chicken Country also followed suit, thanking Jiang Liu in unison.@@novelbin@@

Hint: For completing the task "Revival," you have gained 850,000 Experience Points and a Perfect Level Treasure Chest*1.

As the King of the Black Chicken Country came back to life, the system's prompt sounded at this moment.

The 850,000 Experience Points were credited, and although he had not leveled up, Jiang Liu could feel his Cultivation Level had improved a bit. As for the Perfect Level Treasure Chest, he was not in a hurry to open it and set it aside for now.

With the resurrection of the King of the Black Chicken Country, what followed was a national celebration, and Jiang Liu and his disciples were treated as honored guests by the King of the Black Chicken Country, regarded as distinguished visitors throughout the Black Chicken Country.

After celebrating for an entire day, Jiang Liu and the others finally returned to their resting place.

However, although the cheerful atmosphere was easily infectious, Sha Wujing seemed somewhat out of place amidst the day's festivities, as if he had slipped back into the somber and sad days he had experienced upon his initial return.

By nightfall, after channeling his True Yuan through a Complete Cycle eighty-one times, Jiang Liu ceased his cultivation and immediately opened his storage space, taking out the Perfect Level Treasure Chest.

However, it turned out to be just a level 40 Perfect Level weapon; Jiang Liu shook his head inwardly and stored it in his space for later use.

Perhaps it would be good to practice his Life Profession Skills when idle in the future? For instance, by destroying Fine Level Quality Equipment, repairing it, and then repeating the process, couldn't that be a way to brush up on his skill proficiency?

The only issue was that every repair would decrease the maximum durability of the equipment by one point, so he would need to find more Fine Level equipment to practice on.

Thus, this Perfect Level equipment would be useful in the future.

However, now was not the time to brush up on Life Profession proficiency. After stowing the Perfect Level weapon into his storage space, Jiang Liu's gaze fell on a certain Soul-Returning Pill.

Because in the original story, the King of the Black Chicken Country had obtained the Soul-Returning Pill from the Supreme Elder Lord, Jiang Liu had Sun Wukong ask for it from the Supreme Elder Lord for this resurrection.

Firstly, there was no need to use his own, and secondly, at that time, no one knew that he hadn't consumed the pill, but rather stored it in his space.

But now, seeing Sha Wujing's desire for it, Jiang Liu pondered for a moment and still took one out.

Then he left his room and knocked on the door of Sha Wujing's room.

"Master!" Opening the door, Sha Wujing saw Jiang Liu standing at the doorway and was slightly startled, not understanding what could bring his master to him in the dead of night.

But without asking further, Sha Wujing invited Jiang Liu into his room.

"Wujing, today you said you wanted a Soul-Returning Pill, right?" After entering Sha Wujing's room, Jiang Liu didn't beat around the bush and got straight to the point.

"Yes, Master!" Sha Wujing nodded, as the request had been made in front of his master, so he affirmed upon hearing Jiang Liu's question.

"I still have one here, I'll give it to you!" Without any fuss, Jiang Liu took out a Soul-Returning Pill and handed it to Sha Wujing.

"Master, you, this..." Looking at the Soul-Returning Pill given to him by Jiang Liu, Sha Wujing was taken aback, then looked at him in astonishment.

He was astonished that his master would give him a Soul-Returning Pill and also wondered how his master had one. If he truly possessed it, why then had he specially sent his eldest disciple to ask for it from the Supreme Elder Lord?

"This pill was secretly saved by me during the drinking session at the Doushuai Palace. I don't know why you want it, and I won't force you to tell me, just take it!" Giving the Soul-Returning Pill to Sha Wujing, Jiang Liu shook his head with a sigh.

Perhaps because Sha Wujing's experiences resonated with his own, Jiang Liu's feelings of alienation from him gradually subsided.

Moreover, Jiang Liu could clearly feel that these days, Sha Wujing was making an effort to integrate into the Scripture Seeking team.

He too, was a pitiful person!

What was more important was that the events that unfolded around him had been facilitated by Jiang Liu himself!

"Master, do you really not want to know about what happened between Amei and me?" However, seeing Jiang Liu hand over the Soul-Returning Pill and then prepare to leave, Sha Wujing fell silent for a moment before speaking up.

"Oh? Are you willing to talk about it today? Then I am willing to listen…" Hearing what Sha Wujing had to say, Jiang Liu, who was getting up to leave, sat back down, fixing his gaze on Sha Wujing. Your next read awaits at My Virtual Library Empire

"Actually, it started back when I left you, Master, and traveled north..." Sha Wujing said after another moment of silence.

From his mouth, Jiang Liu came to understand that after leaving, Sha Wujing was being pursued by killers all the way, under the guise of Subduing Demons and Eliminating Evil.

And because he didn't want to expose his presence and risk being discovered by Guanyin, Sha Wujing didn't dare to use his Dharma Treasure nor draw attention to himself.

Fleeing northward like this, he ultimately was seriously injured under the combined attack of several Heavenly Soldiers and Generals...

Then, he was saved by a half-demon girl from the Demon Clan and stayed under the command of a Demon King. Pretending to be a Demon Marshal, Sha Wujing was quite good at hiding; no one discovered his true identity.

In those quiet days, that half-demon Amei constantly took care of Sha Wujing's daily life, and gradually, feelings developed between them.

However, later on, a human Cultivation Sect attacked the Demon Nest and even set up a Great Formation that even Heavenly Immortals would find difficult to break through. In that critical moment, Sha Wujing fled with Amei, but the power he exhibited drew targeted attacks from the human cultivators.

His own cultivation level being of the Heavenly Immortal Realm, he naturally had the ability to protect himself. However, Amei was just a weak half-demon, and so, in that great battle, she perished.

At that moment, Envoy Muzha, from the followers of Guanyin, appeared, claiming that the catastrophe was meant for Sha Wujing to endure and that he should not cling to personal affections, but rather should cast them aside and continue on the Journey to the West for Scriptures.

"So, I encased Amei's body in ice within an ancient ice cave of a thousand years, hoping to find a way to resurrect her later, and then I resumed the Journey to the West for Scriptures!"

In the end, Sha Wujing spoke, his eyes falling on the Soul-Returning Pill. A smile quickly spread across his face as he said, "Now things are looking up. With this Soul-Returning Pill, I can revive Amei right away!"

"Hmm, go ahead then," Jiang Liu said with a slight nod, having heard Sha Wujing's words.

Given Sha Wujing's pace and ability to soar on clouds, it wouldn't take much time to make the round trip, and naturally, Jiang Liu was willing to wait for him.

Of course, even if he took a long time, Jiang Liu was willing to wait all the same.

"Thank you, Master!" Hearing Jiang Liu's words, which contained no hint of stopping him, Sha Wujing's heart filled with even more gratitude.

Without delay, Sha Wujing departed that very night, soaring into the clouds and flying toward the direction of the Ancient Ice Cave.

"Ah, the trouble with feelings…" Jiang Liu watched as Sha Wujing soared into the sky and left, shaking his head to himself.

After Sha Wujing revives Amei, won't he have a girl waiting for him?

Zhu Bajie has Zhuzhu waiting for him.

What about himself? He has Gaoyang.

It seems only Sun Wukong and the White Dragon Horse are left, aren't they?

Thinking of Sun Wukong, Jiang Liu wondered how he was doing with Fairy Zixia. It seemed that the monkey hadn't visited the Heavenly Court to see her for some days, had he?

Lost in thought, Jiang Liu shook his head to himself and then turned back to his own room to continue his cultivation.

Meanwhile, in the Purple Bamboo Forest of the South Sea, Bodhisattva Guanyin sat in serene meditation when suddenly, a premonition struck her, sensing that the spell she had secretly placed in that thousand-year-old cave had been triggered.

"Muzha!" After musing quietly for a moment, Bodhisattva Guanyin called out.

At Bodhisattva Guanyin's call, Envoy Muzha approached, "What instructions do you have, Bodhisattva?"

"Go to the Ancient Ice Cave and see if something has happened there. Remember, those on the Journey to the West must not harbor any personal affections. Understand?" The Bodhisattva's expression remained calm as she addressed Envoy Muzha.

"Understood, Bodhisattva!" Responding to the words, Envoy Muzha nodded earnestly, then turned and left.

Muzha was aware of the situation at the Ancient Ice Cave. Upon his arrival, he happened to see Sha Wujing lifting Amei's body and witnessed her opening her eyes and coming back to life.

"Eh!? Juanlian actually found a way to resurrect her!?" Seeing this, Muzha tensed up a bit inside.

Recalling Bodhisattva's recent specific admonitions, Muzha roughly understood what her intentions were.

His gaze gradually became colder.
