Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything

Chapter 680: Black Robe



Having a trip through the Demon Realm, in fact, Jiang Liu's heart was not faltering!

Facing Bodhisattva Guanyin? She's just at the cultivation level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, and since he managed to take down both the Baosheng Buddha and the Drought Demon, then it's possible to take down Guanyin too, right!?

If it wasn't for the fact that she was confined in the Illusionary Demon Cave, Jiang Liu would have planned and tried to get rid of her already.

As for whether the Wutian Buddha is backing Guanyin now?

On the surface, it appears that he and the Wutian Buddha are at odds, but in reality, both he and the Wutian Buddha have added each other as friends, and fundamentally, the Wutian Buddha and he share more or less the same objectives. Thus, it's unlikely that he would harm him.

"Okay, okay..." Upon hearing his master's words, and seeing that he was determined to make a trip to the Demon Realm, Zhu Bajie felt helpless and, after a moment of silence, nodded with some reluctance.

After deciding to go to the Demon Realm, Jiang Liu and his two disciples quickly left the Heavenly River and returned to the Mortal World, instructing Sha Wujing to take out the Formation Map that connects to the Demon Realm.

At the same time, Jiang Liu opened the friend list and sent a message to the Little Witch, asking her to facilitate their entry from her side.

Soon, a passage to the Demon Realm appeared, and Jiang Liu and his disciples stepped through this passageway, setting foot on the land of the Demon Realm once again.

"Master, what do we do next?" Once in the Demon Realm, Zhu Bajie looked at Jiang Liu, clearly waiting for his direction.

"What do we do next? Of course we'll make a trip to the Great Nirvana Temple. Guanyin should be inside that temple!" Jiang Liu said without a hint of hesitation.

"Really!?"

Hearing Jiang Liu's words, Zhu Bajie looked incredulously at Jiang Liu and said, "Master, even though the strength of us three disciples is quite formidable, isn't the Great Nirvana Temple the Taoist arena of the Wutian Buddha? If we just waltz in there, isn't that akin to seeking death?"

Sun Wukong did not utter a word, but his grip on his Jingu Bang tightened.

Sun Wukong always had confidence in his strength, but the Wutian Buddha was an existence that even the Tathagata did not take lightly.

Should he really face him? Sun Wukong was not afraid, but he knew well that defeating him would be nearly impossible.

"Hm, Bajie's point makes sense..." Hearing Zhu Bajie's words, Jiang Liu pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement.

Though there was nothing to fear at the Great Nirvana Temple, to just walk in there so openly was indeed inappropriate.

Isn't it like every time he went to the Ksitigarbha Cave, he had to conceal his intentions?

If he appeared openly again, wouldn't it be questionable if the Wutian Buddha remained indifferent to him?

"Wukong, you and Bajie wait here for now. I'll go to the Great Nirvana Temple alone first to scout the situation!" After pondering in silence for a while, Jiang Liu spoke to Zhu Bajie and Sun Wukong.

Going there openly was obviously not an option, so in that case, he decided to hide his identity and take a look.

Actually, did Bodhisattva Guanyin truly go to the Heavenly River Water Palace and steal Bajie's golden body?

About this point, Jiang Liu's heart still held some doubts.

Because, a very important aspect was the difficulty of the mission he triggered.

If the golden body was truly stolen by Guanyin, taking it back from her hands would be no easy matter for Jiang Liu.

The difficulty of this task should reach the standard of an Epic Level mission, shouldn't it?

At the very least, it couldn't possibly be a reward of merely 100 million Experience Points.

Therefore, in his heart, Jiang Liu was only half-convinced when it came to whether the golden body was snatched away by Bodhisattva Guanyin.

"Master, you are going alone?" Hearing Jiang Liu's words, both Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie became anxious and uneasy at the prospect of him going to the Great Nirvana Temple alone.

"Don't worry, if I go alone, even if something happens, I'll still be able to protect myself, no problem!" Jiang Liu said, seeing the worried expressions on Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie's faces.

Indeed, that was the truth. Equipment Trial Coupons of the Primary Level were only priced at 100,000 silver taels. Although purchasing the Absolute Immortal Sword was costly, through fighting in instances these days, he had earned quite a bit of money, and his account balance in the marketplace had reached 1.2 million silver taels again.

If he indeed encountered any trouble, buying an Experience Voucher and taking out the Absolute Immortal Sword to protect himself was certainly feasible.

"Alright then, Master, please be careful..."

With Jiang Liu so confidently reassuring them, Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie naturally said nothing further and simply nodded quietly in agreement.

As for Jiang Liu? He donned the Shadow Robe and headed towards the Great Nirvana Temple.

At the same time, Jiang Liu opened the friend list and sent a message to the Wutian Buddha, inquiring about the current situation of Bodhisattva Guanyin in the Demon Realm in recent days.

"I am in meditation, unaware of Guanyin's affairs, do not disturb!"

Soon after Jiang Liu's message was sent, a reply came from the Wutian Buddha.

However, this message didn't hold much significance for Jiang Liu; even the Wutian Buddha didn't know about Guanyin's whereabouts, suggesting that it's indeed necessary for him to find and inquire about Guanyin himself.

Moreover, the Wutian Buddha is actually in meditation!? Jiang Liu remembered that the character profile of the Wutian Buddha was at the 99th golden level. Now in meditation? It must be to advance his cultivation further, right?

Could it be? He's preparing to attempt the breakthrough to level 100?

```

If successful, at level 100 with a golden UI, such a character panel would indeed be considered the strongest beneath the Saints, wouldn't it!?

Big Shot!

Muttering "Big Shot" to himself, Jiang Liu closed his friend list and didn't intend to send further messages to Wutian Buddha. After all, Wutian Buddha had made it clear that he did not want to be disturbed.

Jiang Liu had been to the Great Nirvana Temple before, so he knew his way around quite well.

After concealing his presence, Jiang Liu silently infiltrated the Great Nirvana Temple. With a level 70 golden BOSS UI, his cultivation level was not weak either.

After searching around the Great Nirvana Temple for a while, Jiang Liu soon found the whereabouts of Guanyin.

Guanyin's reputation was known throughout all three realms, and with her cultivation level at the Great Luo Golden Immortal Level, she truly stood out; thus, after her demon possession, she held a high and powerful position in the Great Nirvana Temple. Finding her was not difficult.

"Wait, who the hell are you?"

Just as Jiang Liu was hidden in the shadows, trying to catch a glimpse of Guanyin and see if he could also spot Zhu Bajie's golden body, all of a sudden, a dull voice rang out, clearly addressing Jiang Liu.

Jiang Liu turned his head to look, slightly taken aback.

Jiang Liu, dressed in a Shadow Robe, was shrouded from head to toe, his appearance obscured.

And the person who had discovered Jiang Liu's whereabouts? From the looks of it, this person's appearance was quite similar to Jiang Liu's current state.

The individual also wore a dark robe, his figure entirely enshrouded, making his face indiscernible.

Character panel!

Seeing this person who had discovered his tracks, Jiang Liu silently exclaimed in his mind and immediately brought up the person's character panel.

Sure enough, a translucent character panel appeared in front of Jiang Liu.

ID: Black Robe (Blue)

Profession: Demon.

Gender: Male.

Level: 86.

Equipment: ...

"Level 86 with a blue UI? Seems like this guy must be one of Wutian Buddha's trusted subordinates," Jiang Liu thought after seeing the character panel and understood the person's identity.

With such cultivation, no wonder he had discovered me.

"Hey? Why aren't you speaking!?" Black Robe stared at Jiang Liu in front of him, unable to resist pressing.

In the entire Great Nirvana Temple, besides himself, there was no one else who moved about so secretively, right?

Could this person be an intruder, hiding their presence?

"Your servant has seen Lord Black Robe! You are truly sinister and terrifying, a fact that fills your servant with awe!" As Black Robe pressed him, Jiang Liu snapped out of it. Imagining Zhu Bajie's fawning behavior, he hurried over to Black Robe and started flattering him.

"What am I thinking? This is the Great Nirvana Temple, who would dare to invade this place!?" Seeing Jiang Liu's sycophantic behavior, Black Robe couldn't help but mock himself inwardly.

Moreover, this guy recognized him at a glance, so he must be one of the demon creatures of the temple, right?

"Why are you dressed like this?" Soothed by Jiang Liu's words, Black Robe asked in turn.

"Lord, you know not! Your humble servant greatly admires you! Your black robe, it's so mysterious, sinister, frightening, evil, and ominous. Therefore, your servant took the initiative to get a similar robe to adopt the style of Lord Black Robe! Your servant hopes to learn even one ten-thousandth of your charm!"

Jiang Liu spoke, spewing out a stream of "wonderful" words, lavishing praise that Black Robe found very satisfying.

Greatly admires him, even obtaining a robe specifically to mimic his style?

Looking at Jiang Liu, Black Robe suddenly felt a certain kinship with him, experiencing for the first time the feeling of facing one's own fan.

"What is your name?" After a moment of silence, Black Robe asked Jiang Liu.

"This lowly one need not mention his former name. From today onwards, I shall be known as Dark Robe! I hope to follow in the illustrious shadow of my lord!" Jiang Liu boasted sycophantically to Black Robe.

"Dark Robe!?"

Hearing Jiang Liu's chosen name, Black Robe pondered for a moment and then nodded internally, finding himself more pleased with Jiang Liu.

Not only emulating his outfit but even copying his name too?

Not bad, this kid has a keen eye!

"You wish to follow me? I do not suffer fools gladly. However, since you have such discernment, you must be competent. Therefore, I shall grant you an opportunity!" Nodding, Black Robe spoke.

"Thank you, my lord!" Hearing Black Robe's words, Jiang Liu promptly responded loudly.
