Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything

The Tiger, Deer, and Sheep Demons, having reached the Demon Immortal Realm, naturally flew swiftly and soon arrived at the boundary of the Withered Pine Stream Fire Cloud Cave.

It must be said that the reputation of Withered Pine Stream Fire Cloud Cave had become rather well-known, even among the three demons of Chechi Kingdom, who had heard some rumors about it. However, their minds had been focused on cultivation, so they hadn't paid much attention to the affairs of the Flame Cloud Cave.

After all, the opportunity to break through to the Demon Immortal Realm had arrived—who would have time to come play at the Flame Cloud Cave?

"Big brother, as far as I know, this Flame Cloud Cave has been quite lively lately, and the owner of the Flame Cloud Cave is rumored to be the son of Great Strength Bull Demon King, Red Boy!" After arriving near the Flame Cloud Cave, Sheep Immortal said to Tiger Immortal.

"Bull Demon King? Indeed, like father, like son!" Hearing what Sheep Immortal said, Tiger Immortal nodded in agreement.

As a member of the Demon Clan, the name of Great Strength Bull Demon King was naturally well-known—he was a being of the Great Luo Golden Immortal Level.

While they spoke, the three demons already arrived near the Flame Cloud Cave and promptly descended.

However, once they reached the Flame Cloud Cave, looks of astonishment appeared on their faces.

For the situation at Flame Cloud Cave was completely different from what they had envisioned.

The name Flame Cloud Cave suggested a typical demon's lair, didn't it?

After all, having lived for so many years, the three demons had seen many demon lairs; they were all quite similar.

Yet, the situation inside the Flame Cloud Cave was nothing like what they had imagined.

Pavilions and buildings had been constructed, with high-eaved and curving roofs; this place hardly resembled a demon's lair—it rather looked like a small city. Enjoy exclusive content from My Virtual Library Empire

Moreover, it was now nighttime, and the entire complex was brightly lit, so much so that it was clearly visible from hundreds of miles away.

Amid the pitch dark night, a vast expanse of brightly lit buildings was truly hard to miss.

"This is the Flame Cloud Cave?"

Standing in front of this miniature city, and looking at the brightly shining structures, the three demons resembled Granny Liu entering Grand View Garden. Though they were well-traveled and worldly, this was their first time encountering such architecture. They were uncertain of what Heavenly Court looked like, but in their eyes, this grand structure must rival the splendor of Heavenly Court.

Approaching the grand building, they looked up to see a several-stories high edifice, atop which a large signboard was placed, bearing the words "Flame Cloud Entertainment City."

"Flame Cloud Entertainment City? I thought it was the Flame Cloud Cave?"

Seeing the immense signboard, the three demons looked at each other in bewilderment. Could they have come to the wrong place?

"Big brother, look, there's even a signature beneath the signboard!" Just when Tiger Immortal and Deer Immortal's attention was captured by the name "Flame Cloud Entertainment City," Sheep Immortal called out immediately.

Following Sheep Immortal's call, Tiger Immortal and Deer Immortal carefully looked beneath the signboard.

Indeed, in slightly smaller characters beneath the signboard was a signature, and upon closer inspection, it turned out to be the name of Master Zhenyuan!

"The Ancestor of Earth Immortals, Immortal Zhenyuan!?" Seeing the signature beneath the signboard, the three demons exchanged looks of shock.

Although they also called themselves immortals, the gap between their status and that of a heavyweight like Master Zhenyuan was as vast as the difference between heaven and earth.

Unexpectedly, Flame Cloud Entertainment City could invite someone like Immortal Zhenyuan to personally inscribe their sign—it seemed the true depth of this place far exceeded their expectations!

"Ladies and gentlemen, is this your first time at Flame Cloud Entertainment City? Allow me to give you a proper introduction!" Just as the three demons stood in front of the entertainment city, flabbergasted, a Little Demon soon approached them and cheerfully offered to show them around.

Seeing their astonished faces, it was clear it was their first visit to Flame Cloud Entertainment City!

"Alright, please introduce it to us!"

Though they had agreed with Holy Monk Xuanzang to look for Red Boy, now that they had seen Flame Cloud Entertainment City, the three demons were no longer in a hurry to find him. Why not go in and have a look around first?

"Please come this way..." The Little Demon was very enthusiastic as he invited the trio into Flame Cloud Entertainment City and, in a chatty manner, began to introduce them around.

"Our Flame Cloud Entertainment City, also known as Sleepless City, is aptly named. If you wish, you could enjoy yourselves here all night long. And in our city, everyone from the highest Deities, Gods, Saints, and Buddhas, to ordinary members of the Human Clan, and even Ghosts and Evil Spirits are welcome to come and have fun..."

"Within our entertainment city, gambling and dueling are the main attractions. The most popular by far is the Legends of the Three Kingdoms card game, along with Mahjong and Poker cards. And let me tell you, the Mahjong and Poker cards here are even personally crafted by Supreme Elder Lord!"

"By the way, is Red Boy the owner of your Sleepless City?" After hearing another big shot's name, Tiger Immortal couldn't help but ask.

First Master Zhenyuan's inscription, and then items personally refined by Supreme Elder Lord? The background of Sleepless City seems a bit too astonishing, doesn't it?

"That's not the case!" However, upon hearing Tiger Immortal's question, the little demon shook his head and said, "Although Red Boy is in charge of managing Sleepless City, he isn't the owner. The true owner of Sleepless City is extremely mysterious, no one really knows who it is. Even Red Boy is merely helping to manage the place!"

"I see!" Hearing this little demon's answer, Tiger Immortal, Deer Immortal, and Sheep Immortal silently exchanged a glance.

Since Red Boy was in charge here, then they hadn't found the wrong place.

But, if even Red Boy was merely in charge and not the owner, could it be...?

Could it possibly be that the real owner of Sleepless City is actually Master Xuanzang?

"By the way, since Sleepless City has Master Zhenyuan's inscription and items refined by Supreme Elder Lord, could it be that you have good relationships with them?" After thinking it over, Tiger Immortal followed up with another question.

"Supreme Elder Lord and Master Zhenyuan, they occasionally come to enjoy themselves here in Sleepless City. They're considered regulars of our city. Just over half a month ago, Empress Qinghua herself even came for a visit!" said the little demon, with a proud look on his face.

"Hiss..."

Upon hearing this, Tiger Immortal, Deer Immortal, and Sheep Immortal took a sharp breath.

Listen to this, all these big names casually visiting Sleepless City? The influence of this place is far more formidable than they had imagined!

"By the way, gentlemen, our Sleepless City is divided into nine floors, each corresponding to different statuses and stakes..." After showing the three demons around and briefly explaining the rules of Sleepless City, the little demon spoke.

Indeed, Sleepless City was a mix of all sorts: deities, immortals, buddhas, saints, demons, as well as humans and ghosts. However, lofty existences naturally do not wish to mingle with ants.

Therefore, according to one's status and the amount of stakes, the level where everyone could play together was determined.

Coming with an attitude to try their luck, the three demons took out a considerable amount of stakes. At the valuation station of Sleepless City, they exchanged them for chips and then headed to the sixth-floor playground.

Such things as chips were new to the three demons. They found them novel, yet they knew these were the universal currency for gambling in Sleepless City.

After reaching the sixth floor, the three demons briefly looked around. Indeed, there were twenty or thirty people here.

Upon closer observation, the cultivation levels and backgrounds of these people were all quite remarkable. In terms of cultivation level, they had almost all reached the Heavenly Immortal Realm.

"It seems that in recent days we've been so absorbed in cultivation that we've missed out on a lot of things!" Having seen the sights of Sleepless City, Tiger Immortal exclaimed with a sense of loss.

Having lived for so many years and considering himself to be quite knowledgeable, Tiger Immortal felt that upon arriving here, he seemed like a complete newbie, clueless about everything.

Once here, naturally, the three demons took a good look around. There were those playing cards, those playing mahjong, and of course, those playing Legends of the Three Kingdoms.

"Legends of the Three Kingdoms, one player short, any takers!? Brother, come join us!" At that moment, a common game of Legends of the Three Kingdoms was in need of a player. A porcelain-faced Taoist boy called out, and upon seeing Tiger Immortal, Deer Immortal, and Sheep Immortal, he directly pulled Sheep Immortal over.

"Ah!? I, I don't know how to play! I've never played before!" Having been dragged to the table, Sheep Immortal said with a confused face.

"Not having played before is fine, just play a few hands and you'll slowly get the hang of it. That's how everyone learns!" The Taoist boy said enthusiastically.

"Hehehe, Qingfeng Taoist Boy, have you sneaked out to play again? Aren't you afraid Master Zhenyuan will catch you and take you back?" However, just then, someone walked by who seemed to recognize the Taoist boy and asked.

"Not afraid, not afraid, master has been in seclusion these past few days!" Waving his hands, the Qingfeng Taoist Boy said without a care in the world.

"A disciple of Master Zhenyuan!? Hiss..." Hearing the others' remarks, Sheep Immortal internally gasped.

Could there be a day when he too would be warmly greeted by a disciple of Master Zhenyuan?

This was something Sheep Immortal had never imagined before.

Looking at it this way, regardless of whether Sleepless City is fun, could one at least get to know many influential figures just by being here?

After learning the identity of the Qingfeng Taoist Boy, Tiger Immortal and Deer Immortal exchanged looks, then glanced around the vicinity.

Although their cultivation levels were similar, the matter of identity was another story.

It seemed that getting to know more people might indeed be beneficial for their future prospects!
