Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything

Since Sun Wukong was not willing to take advantage of someone's vulnerability, Jiang Liu naturally didn't force him, but, an existence that could trounce Demon King Ox? Jiang Liu looked at the man pinned under the Hand of Healing, silently invoking the character UI in his mind.

Suddenly, the corresponding character UI appeared in front of Jiang Liu.

ID: Mysterious Man (Golden)

Gender: Male

Profession: Shaman

Level: 85

Equipment: None

Observing the man's details, Jiang Liu was slightly stunned, focusing particularly on the golden UI of this mysterious man, his profession as a Shaman, and his level of 85.

A Level 85 Golden BOSS UI? So, an existence of the Great Luo Realm? And even a golden UI of the Great Luo Realm?

Shaman? The legendary Witch Clan?

On closer thought, the legendary Witch Clan really did seem extraordinary. No wonder an existence like the Demon King was overwhelmed by this man.

Jiang Liu turned his head and glanced over; although Demon King Ox reached Level 82, he was only a Blue UI, which was inferior to this mysterious man.

Realizing this, Jiang Liu's mind was filled with curiosity. When he arrived just now, did he see this Shaman of the Witch Clan and the Demon King fighting over a strange lotus he held in his hand?

Was this so-called Green Lotus Taoist Scripture a treasure worth fighting to the death over by two beings of the Great Luo Realm?

Curiously, Jiang Liu glanced down at the Green Lotus Taoist Scripture in his hand.

As Jiang Liu's gaze landed on it, the attribute information for the Green Lotus Taoist Scripture also appeared in front of him.

Green Lotus Taoist Scripture (Skill Book): Consumes 10 Skill Points. By contemplating its mysteries, it gives experience points twice the level of the practitioner every 10 seconds during cultivation. Additionally: the higher the aptitude, the better the effect. Do you want to learn it?

"Sss!" Seeing the attribute information of the Green Lotus Taoist Scripture, Jiang Liu gasped in amazement, his eyes filled with surprise.

He had already cultivated the Heavenly Dragon Zen Sound to the sixth level, investing 11 Skill Points. He was gaining 11 experience points every ten seconds, which was even after the enhancement of his aptitude by the Ginseng Fruit and Jadescent Nectar.

But what about this Green Lotus Taoist Scripture? It provided twice the experience points of one's own level? And the better the aptitude, the greater the bonus? The higher the cultivation level, the greater the bonus?

At his current level of 51, twice? That was 102 points! Upon reflection, it meant the effects of cultivating this Green Lotus Taoist Scripture were roughly ten times those of the Heavenly Dragon Zen Sound!

This was a real Immortal Classic!

Thinking it over, about 600 experience points a minute? What about an hour of cultivation? That'd be 36,000 experience points?

Sss, in just one hour, it was like cultivating Heavenly Dragon Zen Sound for a day!

All along, Jiang Liu had been cultivating the Heavenly Dragon Zen Sound, valuing this Cultivation Technique because it was among the top Divine Skills from the Great Buddha Temple, not available to ordinary people.

But now, compared to this so-called Green Lotus Taoist Scripture, Jiang Liu realized that the Heavenly Dragon Zen Sound was nothing.

This truly supported the saying: comparing oneself to others will only make you despondent, comparing goods will make them seem disposable.

Ideally, shouldn't a treasure fought over in such a manner be shared by others? However, keeping it for oneself doesn't really seem justifiable.

Jiang Liu's thoughts raced as his gaze fixed on the Green Lotus Taoist Scripture, thinking of memorizing it, then rewriting it later. Wouldn't that work the same way?

Just like the initial days with the Heavenly Dragon Zen Sound...

However, as Jiang Liu's eyes focused on the Green Lotus Taoist Scripture, he realized he couldn't understand the numerous runes on it at all.

As far as the eye could see, it truly felt like reading a heavenly book—memorizing it? That seemed an impossible task.

"Kill!"

As Jiang Liu's attention was fixed on the Green Lotus Taoist Scripture and 20 seconds had quickly passed, with the Hand of Healing disappearing, the man who had been pinned down finally stood up. His gaze locked on Jiang Liu, he shouted angrily and leaped forward with a surging momentum, charging at Jiang Liu.

Having been pinned down, the man felt extremely humiliated, and naturally, his heart was filled with hatred toward Jiang Liu.

"Hmph, take this strike from I, Old Sun!" Sun Wukong quickly sidestepped to block in front of Jiang Liu, smashing his Ruyi Golden Cudgel directly at the man.

"Strengthening Demon-Subduing Mantra!" As Sun Wukong made his move, Jiang Liu naturally cast a Strengthening Demon-Subduing Mantra skill on him.

At the same time, he swiftly cast a Protective Mantra skill on Demon King Ox.

With the strength of Sun Wukong and Demon King Ox, their attack power and defense ability each increased by 25%, a significant enhancement.

Together, the brothers immediately pressured the mysterious man, putting him at a disadvantage.

With the effects of the Protective Mantra and even the Vajra Mantra boosting his own attributes, Demon King Ox could feel his defense reaching a terrifying level, hence, he actively took on the role of absorbing damage.

Meanwhile, Sun Wukong, wielding the Ruyi Golden Cudgel, launched a series of powerful, unrelenting attacks at the man.

"Damn it!" After a short fight, the man from the Witch Clan realized he could not possibly be a match for both Sun Wukong and Demon King Ox. Soon, the health bar above the man's head dropped below half, and his injuries were severe.

Finally, after casting a fierce glance at Jiang Liu and the others, he turned and left.

With a stomp, the ground split open, and in an instant, the man shot off like a cannonball, disappearing into the horizon.

Apart from their innate divine abilities, the Witch Clan primarily relies on physical attacks, hardly ever employing spells, and thus, they lack even the ability to fly...

"Alright, my brother, let's not pursue him!" Seeing Sun Wukong eager to continue the chase, Demon King Ox stopped him and said, "This man is very mysterious; we don't know what might happen if we push him too hard. It's better not to chase him; driving him off is enough!"

Well then, since Demon King Ox spoke thus, Sun Wukong thought it over and decided against continuing the chase.

"Holy Monk, my brother, thank you both for coming to my aid, or I, Old Ox, would have been dead many times over today. I cannot forget this great kindness!" After driving off the mysterious man of the Witch Clan, Demon King Ox earnestly thanked Jiang Liu and Sun Wukong.

"Where does that come from, big brother? When we became sworn brothers, didn't we agree that I, Old Sun, would never just stand by and watch?" Sun Wukong waved his hand, seemingly unconcerned.

"Well, Demon King Ox, if you really want to thank me, um, cough cough, how about you give me the Green Lotus Taoist Scripture?" Hearing this, Jiang Liu, though somewhat embarrassed, still took the initiative to speak up.

Asking for a reward for his good deed was indeed embarrassing for Jiang Liu, even downright shameful, but for a treasure like the Green Lotus Taoist Scripture, he was willing to swallow his pride.

With it, his growth rate would greatly increase, and the stronger his strength, the safer his life would be.

In the face of life, what do a few embarrassing moments count for?

Just like in his previous life, which man didn't care about losing face? But when it came to earning money for the family, stooping low and begging were nothing. When it comes to making money, pride has no value!

"Ah?" When Jiang Liu spoke these words, both Demon King Ox and Sun Wukong were stunned.

Demon King Ox did not expect Jiang Liu to make such a direct request.

As for Sun Wukong, knowing his master's character well, knew he was not the type to ask for a reward for his kindness. Could it be that he was truly determined to obtain the Green Lotus Taoist Scripture?

"Holy Monk, what are you talking about?" Although stunned at first, Demon King Ox quickly recovered and waved his hand generously, saying, "If it weren't for your intervention, Old Ox here would have lost not just the Green Lotus Taoist Scripture but my life too. Now, keeping my life is already a gain. If the Holy Monk likes the scripture, then it is yours to have!"

"Thank you!" Hearing Demon King Ox's words, Jiang Liu nodded heavily and sincerely expressed his gratitude.

Although it was a lifesaving grace, considering that Demon King Ox had fought desperately for the scripture, the fact that he was willing to give it to him now made Jiang Liu sincerely grateful.

"Where is that? Holy Monk, you are straightforward in your desires and do not use underhanded methods. This is something Old Ox truly admires!" Hearing Jiang Liu's words, Demon King Ox turned his head and paid him a compliment.

"Alright, alright, Master, big brother, let's not praise each other anymore!" Watching the two of them shower each other with compliments, Sun Wukong, feeling a bit left out, shook his head and interrupted their exchange.

"Cough cough, actually, I was only a supporting character in today's rescue. Even if I hadn't come, Wukong would certainly have been here, so I dare not take credit!" Hearing Sun Wukong's words, Jiang Liu coughed and attributed the merit to Sun Wukong.

"Ah, my virtuous brother truly values loyalty and righteousness!" Following Jiang Liu's words, Demon King Ox nodded at Sun Wukong and earnestly spoke.

"Hehehe, I, Old Sun, have already said, let's not praise each other anymore. Even if you turn around and praise me, I, Old Sun, won't be pleased!"

Hearing the words of Jiang Liu and Demon King Ox, Sun Wukong's eyes narrowed in a smile, and his tail swung left and right, but his mouth spoke completely insincere words.

"Alright, let's head back for now!" Having saved the person, Jiang Liu spoke up, preparing to return with Sun Wukong.

"Oh, Holy Monk, have a safe journey!" Hearing that Jiang Liu and Sun Wukong were leaving, Demon King Ox nodded and spoke, showing no intention of accompanying them.

Joking aside, they were at the heart of a great calamity; friendship aside, staying with them for an extended time was not something Demon King Ox was willing to do.

The terror of the great calamity was clearer to Demon King Ox than to anyone...

But after bidding farewell, Demon King Ox couldn't help but ask one more question, "By the way, Holy Monk, my brother, how far along on your Journey to the West for Scriptures have you gotten now?"
