Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything

Divine Level Quest... Since Jiang Liu obtained the function of the Mission System, it had only been triggered three times.

The first time was a passive mission to develop Zhu Bajie into a Casanova, faced with a penalty of 100 million Experience Points, Jiang Liu conceded that he could not possibly complete the task. Thus, he chickened out and chose to reject it outright.

The second time, because Jiang Liu harbored thoughts of driving Sha Wujing out of the Journey to the West Pilgrimage Team, a divine level active mission was triggered.

The reward for this mission was 80 million Experience Points. Jiang Liu spent quite some time, and with the mindset of Guanyin seeking revenge, he schemed against Sha Wujing. Thus, he managed to succeed eventually.

It wasn't just the Experience Points reward that promoted his level but more importantly, the Divine Level Treasure Chest, which yielded a divine potion.

The potion had played a significant role during his massive killing spree in the Demon Realm, even though the unlocking of the Brocade Kasaya and the Nine-Ring Staff contributed to it as well.

That's how Jiang Liu was able to ascend several levels in just a few days!

"It seems that this task isn't easy, sigh..." Looking at the divine level mission he had triggered proactively, Jiang Liu sighed internally.

Out of the three divine missions, only one was passively triggered, which he then refused.

It seems I might have been a little too cowardly!?

However, despite his feelings, Sun Wukong had already gone to the Heavenly Court to seek help from Nezha, so Jiang Liu was in no rush to do anything.

Everything else would have to wait until Nezha returned with news from Master Leizhen, right?

At this moment, stillness is better than rash action!

Although Jiang Liu had concerns, he made no further moves afterward. He simply sat cross-legged, quietly cultivating the Green Lotus Taoist Scripture and patiently awaited Sun Wukong's response.

...

The whooshing of the wind, like knives, and riding on the Wind-Fire Wheels, the delicate figure of Nezha flew like a blaze through the sky, swiftly heading into the distance.

Angered by the death of Muzha, Nezha was displeased with everyone from the Scripture Seeking Team. However, after investigating, he understood that Sun Wukong had nothing to do with it. Seeing Sun Wukong approaching him for help with a personal matter, he agreed to lend assistance after a fight. Experience more tales on My Virtual Library Empire

After the Deification War, Master Leizhen had not been deified but chose to stay as a Loose Immortal instead. His years of cultivation had enabled him to reach the realm of Daluo Golden Immortal.

Having fought side by side in the past, Nezha naturally knew where Master Leizhen practiced his cultivation.

Though Nezha's Wind-Fire Wheels couldn't match the speed of Sun Wukong's Somersault Cloud, they were still quite fast. He streaked through the sky and swiftly arrived at the boundary of the Eastern Shengshen State, landing within the thunderous region of Leize Land.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In Leize Land, where thunder roared all year round, it was rare for anyone to dare enter, but for Master Leizhen, this place was his Cave Heaven and Blessed Land.

Without a millennium of cultivation in Leize Land, it would not have been easy for him to attain the realm of Daluo Golden Immortal.

"Is Brother Master Leizhen here!?" Upon reaching the skies above Leize Land, Nezha didn't just barge in. Instead, he hovered in mid-air on his Wind-Fire Wheels and called out with his youthful voice, which echoed throughout the entire region.

"Hahaha, Brother Nezha, long time no see! You still look as dashing!"

Following Nezha's call, the sounds of wind and thunder intensified, and soon after, a figure flew up into the sky, appearing before Nezha.

This man appeared to be in his thirties, in the prime of his life, but what drew the most attention was the pair of dark brown wings on his back.

As the wings flapped, the sound of wind and thunder continued unabated; these were Master Leizhen's Wind and Thunder Wings.

Seeing Nezha's arrival, Master Leizhen seemed very enthusiastic and naturally invited him into his dwelling.

After they settled down, Master Leizhen personally poured Nezha a cup of clear tea.@@novelbin@@

"Brother Nezha, you wouldn't visit without a good reason, so what brings you here today?" After sitting and chatting for a moment, Master Leizhen directly cut to the chase.

"Since you've asked, I won't beat around the bush. I'm here today because I heard about your marriage to Fairy Zixia," said Nezha straightforwardly.

"Oh? You've come about this matter? Is there something amiss?" Master Leizhen put down his tea cup, surprised by the question.

"No particular issue, mainly just to ask why after so many years alone, you've suddenly decided to marry. And why Fairy Zixia? As far as I know, there's quite a gap between Fairy Zixia's Cultivation Level and status and yours, right?" Nezha simply laid out his query, not intending to beat around the bush.

"Hahaha..." Upon hearing Nezha's words, Master Leizhen couldn't help but burst into laughter as if he had heard something hilarious.

"Why do you laugh, brother!?" Seeing Master Leizhen's reaction, Nezha's delicate little face showed a look of utter confusion.

"What amuses me is that not only do you look naïve, but your heart seems to be of the same nature. The matters of love between a man and a woman cannot be affected by the differences in status or position!" Shaking his head, Master Leizhen spoke.

His face turning serious, he said, "Speaking of which, it is fate. Some days ago, I happened to pass by the Empress's Glycyrrhiza Garden and was instantly captivated by Fairy Zixia. I felt a palpitation I had not experienced in over a thousand years. Therefore, I knew my destined moment had arrived! I found Emperor Qinghua and asked him to help me propose a marriage match."

With a smile on his face, Master Leizhen continued, "Since you came to ask in person today, brother, remember, you must attend my grand wedding day!"

"This..."

Master Leizhen's words made Nezha's expression turn rather odd. After a moment of silence, he said, "So, what you mean is... you and Fairy Zixia have only met once? And she doesn't recognize you at all!?"

"Yes, what of it? Have you never heard of 'love at first sight'?" Master Leizhen answered earnestly with a nod.

"But, did you even consider whether Fairy Zixia is willing?" Seeing Master Leizhen's demeanor, Nezha was even more at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

"Is her willingness even necessary!?"

However, to Nezha's comment, Master Leizhen shook his head as if it were obviously unnecessary: "Throughout history, marriages have been officiated by the orders of parents and the matchmaker's word. Many couples get married without even having met each other. Where does 'willing or unwilling' come into it?"

"..." Nezha fell silent at Master Leizhen's words.

Indeed, it was a compelling argument.

In the Mortal World, marriages are typically arranged by both sets of parents, and countless people don't even know what their other half looks like after the marriage rites.

So, using this logic, it wasn't really out of place for Master Leizhen to proceed without Fairy Zixia's consent, was it?

"However, as far as I know, Fairy Zixia has already refused, and did so publicly. She rejected the decree of the Jade Emperor and the Empress. Now she's been imprisoned in the Glycyrrhiza Garden!" Nezha added after a moment of contemplation.

"Refused!?"

But hearing this, Master Leizhen's eyes sparkled with excitement, and he couldn't help but laugh: "Hahaha, truly worthy of the woman I admire! She doesn't show the slightest hint of opportunism. This is fantastic!"

Ordinary women, whether they be fairies or female demons, would climb into bed with him at a mere beckoning of his hand—if he so desired.

After all, the cultivation of a Daluo Golden Immortal speaks for itself.

But the fact that Zixia refused? This seemed to prove even more that she was different from other women, which naturally pleased Master Leizhen even more.

"Sigh..." Watching Master Leizhen's elation rather than shock, Nezha could not help but heave a silent sigh.

"But, brother, didn't you investigate beforehand? Fairy Zixia refused you because her heart belongs to another. Stealing someone's love is hardly commendable, is it?" After sighing, Nezha spoke to Master Leizhen.

"Ah! She belongs to someone else?" Hearing Nezha's words, Master Leizhen was genuinely surprised, a look of astonishment on his face.

"Aren't celestial beings forbidden from harboring mortal desires according to the heavenly laws? Could it be that Fairy Zixia has secretly fostered mortal feelings?" Master Leizhen, surprised, looked at Nezha and asked.

This was something Master Leizhen had not anticipated at all.

"Exactly! And the object of Fairy Zixia's affections is none other than the Great Sage Equalling Heaven, Sun Wukong. Currently, Zixia is locked up and happy about it in the Glycyrrhiza Garden. That's why I came to inquire about the situation!" Nezha nodded and detailed the circumstances to Master Leizhen.

"That Demon Monkey!?" Master Leizhen's brow furrowed slightly upon hearing of Sun Wukong's involvement.

Although he himself had attained the realm of a Daluo Golden Immortal, that Demon Monkey seemed to be merely at the level of a Taiyi True Immortal. But who in the Three Realms and Six Paths didn't know of Sun Wukong's terrifying combat ability? It was no less formidable than that of a Daluo Golden Immortal.

"Hmph, what of that Demon Monkey!?" Although things seemed to have gotten a bit more complicated, after a moment's silence, Master Leizhen scoffed.

For love, Master Leizhen was absolutely fearless!

Besides, others may fear the Great Sage, but he did not!

Emperor Qinghua had already brokered the match for him, and both the Jade Emperor and the Empress had given their approval. If this marriage were to fall through now, where would he stand in the Three Realms and Six Paths!?

"Sigh..."

Watching Master Leizhen's resolute demeanor, Nezha let out a long sigh, at a loss for what to say, caught in a predicament.
