Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything-Chapter 532: News of the Other Part of the Black Lotus

Jiang Liu sat on White Dragon Horse's back, looking into the distance, as a figure rode the clouds away and quickly vanished at the edge of the sky.

It was Gaoyang, transformed from the Pearl Holding Dragon Maiden.

Touching his own cheek, Jiang Liu felt somewhat astonished.

Last night, the two of them slept together and indeed, nothing happened, but just now, before leaving, Gaoyang, transformed from the Pearl Holding Dragon Maiden, had kissed his cheek before departing.

This action was completely beyond Jiang Liu's expectations.

Logically speaking, as he was about to leave, his task should have been completed, right? Why then did she kiss him before going?

Could it be? During these days with the Journey to the West Team, even she had taken a fancy to him?

The thought flashed through his mind, and Jiang Liu immediately shook his head in private.

Sigh, being handsome, can one really do whatever one pleases?

In his previous life, although he wasn't ugly, he certainly wasn't handsome either, so he had always been single.

Yet he hadn't expected that after transmigrating into Tang Monk, with his dashing looks, even as a monk, so many women would eagerly try to throw themselves at him?

"So, even in a mythical world like Journey to the West, it's still a world where appearance matters?" Touching his cheek, Jiang Liu shook his head with a sense of resignation.

"Master, you really are a role model for all of us!" Zhu Bajie also gazed at Gaoyang's departing figure, not looking away until she was completely out of sight, only then did Zhu Bajie bring his gaze back.

At the same time, he said to Jiang Liu with a look of envy in his eyes.

Zhu Bajie's words made Jiang Liu turn his head, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, as he stared at Zhu Bajie without speaking.

"Master, all along the way westward, you're just having fun, seeking scriptures, enjoying delicious food, and even sleeping with beautiful women. You don't miss out on anything! It makes this disciple quite envious!" said Zhu Bajie, addressing Jiang Liu.

"Enough talk, let's keep moving!"

Jiang Liu had no intention of dwelling further on this topic, nor did he feel the need to defend himself.

Logically, after being separated from Gaoyang for so long, a sudden reunion should've been like dry wood meeting a fierce flame.

Yet, even though they lived together for so many days, nothing happened?

Jiang Liu knew that even if he were to explain, Zhu Bajie and the others wouldn't believe him.

Not wanting to entangle himself with this issue, Jiang Liu naturally cut off Zhu Bajie's words directly, without any intention to respond.

Giving White Dragon Horse's head a gentle pat, White Dragon Horse understood Jiang Liu's intentions and, lowering its head, moved westward at a slow pace.

...

In the South Sea, at the Purple Bamboo Forest.

Bodhisattva Guanyin still sat quietly by the Lotus Pond as usual, with her primordial spirit continuing to monitor Yuanling.

After such long surveillance, Yuanling showed no improper behavior, so Guanyin's heart had already let go of any suspicions toward him.

Feeling that Pearl Holding Dragon Maiden had indeed returned, Bodhisattva Guanyin withdrew her divine sense and looked at Pearl Holding Dragon Maiden.

Raising the Willow Branch from her Jade Clean Bottle, she gently sprinkled it towards Pearl Holding Dragon Maiden.

Droplets of water light fell upon Pearl Holding Dragon Maiden and soon enough, her appearance began to change.

The strand of black hair wrapped around her finger turned to ash and dissipated, and Pearl Holding Dragon Maiden also returned to her original form.

"How has it been? Staying by Xuanzang's side these past few days, no special incidents occurred, right?" After letting Pearl Holding Dragon Maiden revert to her true appearance, Bodhisattva Guanyin spoke.

"Nothing particularly surprising happened!"

Although she had already reported once through divine sense communication with the bodhisattva before, face-to-face, Pearl Holding Dragon Maiden still recounted everything that had happened in the past few days, including the information she had gathered from Jiang Liu, in full detail to Bodhisattva Guanyin.

"Hmm, I understand these matters now. You may stay in the Purple Bamboo Forest for now; I shall make a trip to the Great Thunder Monastery!" Bodhisattva Guanyin nodded and said.

After saying this and tidying her hair, Bodhisattva Guanyin left, flying toward the Great Thunder Monastery.

Over at Great Thunder Monastery, Tathagata was naturally waiting for the results of Bodhisattva Guanyin's test.

Once Bodhisattva Guanyin arrived and recounted all that had happened, Tathagata also nodded in agreement.

"Amitabha, since you had your dragon maiden inquire under the guise of Gaoyang, it seems that the information provided by Xuanzang cannot be wrong!"

Tathagata also nodded, acknowledging the intelligence gathered by Pearl Holding Dragon Maiden from Jiang Liu.

"Is there really a way in this world to satisfy both truth and emotion without failing either Buddha or the beloved?"

Reflecting upon the verse Jiang Liu had spoken, Tathagata also repeated it a few times before smiling faintly.

```

"Amitabha, if it's so difficult, then it's not needed in the future!"

"Once we arrive at Spirit Mountain and Master Golden Cicada's True Spirit awakens, Gaoyang will no longer need to exist, and you need not be troubled anymore!"

...

For several days, the Journey to the West Team continued westward. During these days, Jiang Liu had been teaming up with the White Dragon Horse to tackle dungeons, seizing every moment to cultivate, full of motivation.

Because he was just one level shy of being able to form a team with Sha Wujing.

Once he reached level 62, teaming up with Sha Wujing would certainly greatly accelerate his dungeon-clearing speed.

However, this day, just as Jiang Liu and Little White Dragon had emerged from a dungeon, suddenly, Jiang Liu heard a notification sound from his social system.

After opening his friends list, he saw an avatar incessantly flashing.

The flashing avatar took Jiang Liu by surprise—it was none other than Little Witch.

"Brother Xuanzang, it's been some days since we last talked, did you miss me at all!?" Little Witch sent over the message, starting with a line that was rather frivolous.

"Cut the nonsense, just say what you have to say!" Jiang Liu was quite merciless in his reply to Little Witch's message.

All of a sudden, Little Witch was sending him messages. If it was just some idle chit-chat? Jiang Liu didn't believe it.

"Damn, how heartless!"

As Jiang Liu's message was sent back, Little Witch appeared quite aggrieved, "The other day, you asked me to keep an eye out for any news about the Black Lotus. I finally managed to gather some information for you, and yet you're so heartless with me, I'm truly heartbroken!"

"Heartless, isn't that a term of praise in your Demon Realm? Thanks for the compliment!" Jiang Liu replied sarcastically to Little Witch's words.

After sending such a reply and not waiting for Little Witch to say anything more, Jiang Liu's expression became serious, straightening his posture on the back of the White Dragon Horse, saying, "What did you say? You've found information on the Black Lotus?"

The Ninth Grade World-Destroying Black Lotus, legend has it, was a treasure in the hands of the Demon Ancestor Luohou from ancient times.

Following the catastrophe of the Dragon and Phoenix, with the fall of Luohou, the Ninth Grade World-Destroying Black Lotus was also destroyed.

The Supreme Elder Lord collected some parts and remade it into the Ninth Grade Black Lotus, which later fell into my own hands, but a portion remained in the Demon Realm.

Now that I've obtained the Ninth Grade Black Lotus, naturally, I wanted to find the remaining parts and restore the splendor of the World-Destroying Black Lotus.

This matter, which I mentioned in passing during a conversation with Little Witch some days ago, wasn't something I held much hope for.

Unexpectedly, she really found it.

"Brother Xuanzang, when I said you were heartless, it definitely wasn't a compliment! Additionally, I did indeed find information on the Black Lotus! In our Demon Realm, there is a Demon Lord of the Great Luo Realm, rumored to have acquired the bloodline of the Ancient Ancestral Witch Jumang, hence possessing cultivation of the Great Luo Realm!"

"In his hands, there is a damaged Black Lotus, perhaps the very thing you're looking for, Brother Xuanzang!"

"The bloodline of Ancient Ancestral Witch, Jumang? A Great Luo Realm Demon Clan member?" Seeing the message Little Witch sent over, Jiang Liu inwardly grew solemn.

The Great Luo Realm, every individual is a renowned figure in all of the Three Realms and Six Paths, moreover, the bloodline of an Ancestral Witch signals the extraordinary nature of the person.

He has a damaged Black Lotus in his hand? It seems highly likely that it could be part of the Ninth Grade World-Destroying Black Lotus.

Otherwise, an ordinary damaged Black Lotus wouldn't catch the eye of a member of the Demon Clan of the Great Luo Realm!

"Do you know his name? What is the extent of his power?" After a moment of silence, the thought of seizing sprouted in Jiang Liu's mind, and he asked Little Witch directly.

"Of course, I know. When I gathered this information for you, naturally, I tried to find out all the details!" Upon hearing Jiang Liu's words, Little Witch replied earnestly.

"It is said that he was originally one of the founding members of the Demon Clan in the Demon Realm. Later, after the great Shaman-Demon Catastrophe, by a fluke he merged with the bloodline of the Ancestral Witch Jumang. Hence, he resides in the Demon Realm, but operates under the name of Jumang!"

"Over thousands of years, he also gathered a group of expert demons under his command!"

After a long silence, Little Witch sent over a lengthy message, which also detailed the strength and power distribution of this Jumang.

"Back then, for Wujing, we made a trip through the Demon Realm. With the unleashed power of the Nine-Ring Staff and Brocade Kasaya, coupled with the effect of the Divine Medicine, we gained a significant boost to our Experience Points!"

"This time, should we take another trip to the Demon Realm due to the Ninth Grade World-Destroying Black Lotus?"

After carefully considering the information gathered by Little Witch, Jiang Liu mused to himself.

Jiang Liu had already made up his mind to take another journey to the Demon Realm.

Last time, I killed Yu Hua who wielded the Blood-Transforming Divine Blade, this time, let's see if I can take down another Great Luo Realm member of the Demon Clan.

"My disciples!?"

After a moment of contemplation and having made up his mind, Jiang Liu called out, addressing Sun Wukong and the others.

"Master, what is it?" Sun Wukong and the others turned their attention toward Jiang Liu.

"I suddenly feel like making a trip to the Demon Realm. Would you all be willing to accompany me there!?" Without any idle chat, Jiang Liu asked directly.
