Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything-Chapter 585: Unveiling the List

Moving forward, step by step, Jiang Liu sat cross-legged on the back of the White Dragon Horse, cultivating the Green Lotus Taoist Scripture, and the prompt for gaining Experience Points was incessant in his ears.

Prompt: Gained 136 Experience Points.

Prompt: Gained 136 Experience Points.

Prompt: Gained 136 Experience Points.

...

Having been in the dungeon for quite a while, Jiang Liu, having left the dungeon, rested for a moment by sitting and cultivating on the back of the White Dragon Horse.

However, just at that moment, suddenly, a cool sensation appeared out of nowhere, sweeping over his entire body, making Jiang Liu feel as if all his fatigue had dissipated in that instant.

At the same time, another system prompt sounded in Jiang Liu's mind.

Prompt: Level increased by 1, current level 69.

"Finally reached level 69, huh? One step closer to the realm of the Taiyi True Immortal!" Looking at his own level, Jiang Liu felt quite happy.

Of course, after silently invoking the character panel, Jiang Liu checked his Experience Points bar, and his face darkened.

The Experience Points needed to reach level 70 were much greater; it required a total of 1.8 billion Experience Points.

Now his Experience Points were completely depleted, not knowing how much time it would take him to gather the 1.8 billion Experience Points needed.

Moreover, what was most important was Jiang Liu's curiosity. Ever since he arrived in this world of Journey to the West, advancing through battle and leveling up along the way, every 10 levels would unlock new features.

Such as inventory space, mission system, social system, life profession, etc.

What would be unlocked when his level reached 70?

Thinking about this, Jiang Liu felt very curious and anticipatory.

"Master, there's a royal city ahead, should we go?" While Jiang Liu was pondering what features would unlock after reaching level 70, suddenly, Sun Wukong spoke up, drawing Jiang Liu's attention.

"Oh? A royal city? Which place have we reached?" Closing his character panel and refocusing, Jiang Liu inquired.

"Zhuzi Country!" Sun Wukong's figure hovered in mid-air, adopting a distant gaze, he spoke.

"Zhuzi Country!? Isn't that a significant plot location in the original story?" Hearing this, Jiang Liu's mind stirred, and he spoke, "If that's the case, let's stock up on some supplies!"

"Alright, Master!" Hearing Jiang Liu's words, Sun Wukong nodded and led the way.

The White Dragon Horse naturally followed closely behind Sun Wukong.

As they journeyed, they would replenish some supplies whenever they passed through towns, after all, you never know when you might pass through a town again.

"Zhuzi Country, eh? What was the plot there in the original text again?" Jiang Liu's figure sat on the White Dragon Horse and he murmured to himself, sorting out the story of Zhuzi Country from the original text.

In the original text, Jiang Liu remembered that the King of Zhuzi Country fell ill, and then, an imperial list was posted seeking a famous doctor.

Subsequently, Sun Wukong cured the king, and the cause? It was because the king's princess consort was captured by a demon, hence, he fell ill from yearning for her.

Wait, what's most important? The demon that captured the princess consort of Zhuzi Country was called Saitaisui, and its original form was the Golden Hair Lion, the mount of Bodhisattva Guanyin!

"The mount of Bodhisattva Guanyin? Now, that's interesting. I really hope the original plot doesn't change much..." Thinking that the Golden Hair Lion was Bodhisattva Guanyin's mount, Jiang Liu's eyes flashed. If it were true, the Golden Hair Lion was surely doomed.

He was eager to see what kind of thoughts Bodhisattva Guanyin would have after her mount was killed.

However, their journey to the West was nearly a decade ahead of the timeline in the original text, and he only hoped that the plot set by these deities and Buddhas wouldn't change.

As Jiang Liu anticipated silently in his heart, time passed minute by minute.

Seeing the leisurely pace of the White Dragon Horse, Jiang Liu couldn't help but urge, "Xiaobai, move faster!"

At his words, Sun Wukong and the other disciples all widened their eyes, looking at Jiang Liu in astonishment.

Usually, the master would walk as slowly as possible, even preferring not to move at all if possible. But what did the master say today? He actually said to move faster?

The White Dragon Horse didn't speak, but it definitely quickened its pace.

About a Chinese hour later, they had crossed tens of miles and arrived at the royal city of Zhuzi Country.

Having entered the royal city of Zhuzi Country, Jiang Liu carefully looked around the walls of the surrounding streets from the back of the White Dragon Horse, in search of that imperial list from the original text.

However, after looking for a while, not a single imperial list was seen, which left Jiang Liu secretly surprised.

Is the imperial list posted in a special place, or was there a change in the plot of the original text because he was ahead of schedule?

"Master, what are you looking for?" Seeing Jiang Liu glancing around since they had entered the city, Zhu Bajie couldn't help but ask.

"Oh, nothing much, just looking around!" Jiang Liu responded with a shake of his head upon hearing Zhu Bajie's inquiry.

During their conversation, they suddenly saw a few soldiers dressed in armor approaching. Then, they took out a stack of yellow papers and directly pasted them on the wall.

After they were done, these soldiers did not speak and hurriedly walked away to another location.

Naturally, seeing the soldiers affix the yellow papers, many of the nearby residents gathered to see what was posted.

"Has it arrived? What a coincidence?" Witnessing this scene, Jiang Liu's heart stirred slightly. He dismounted from the White Dragon Horse and squeezed his way forward.

Indeed, the yellow paper was an Imperial edict, and Jiang Liu carefully read the content written on it.

It was different from what he remembered. In the original story, the purpose of posting the Imperial edict was to find a doctor to treat the King's illness.

However, the content on this edict stated that the Emperor was seeking someone capable of subduing demons and eliminating evil.

It mentioned that a few days ago, the Emperor's Princess Consort, Empress of Jinsheng Palace, had been whisked away by a demonic wind, surely the work of an evil demon. Thus, he requested someone with the ability to subdue demons and eliminate evil to rescue the Empress of Jinsheng Palace. If successful, he was even willing to share the kingdom.

"Eh? Isn't the King ill? Or is it that the Princess Consort was just captured, so he hasn't fallen sick from pining yet?"

Seeing the content of the Imperial edict differ from his expectations, Jiang Liu didn't mind. These were just details, after all, no need to fuss over them.

With a thought, Jiang Liu swiftly tore down the edict, and amidst the outcry of many citizens, he inquired about the direction to the Royal Palace and then headed straight there.

Speaking of coincidences, as Jiang Liu rode the White Dragon Horse toward the entrance of the Royal Palace, he found, apart from himself, a Monk and two Cultivators, also holding the Imperial edict and preparing to enter the palace to meet the King.

The Monk and the Taoist, after glancing at Jiang Liu, gave each other a look, then faced each other as if preparing for a duel.

Clearly, they considered each other as competitors.

"Ah, am I not threatening at all?" Seeing how the Monk and the Taoist seemed fiercely competitive, completely disregarding his presence, Jiang Liu secretly ridiculed them in his mind.

Thinking it over, Jiang Liu soon understood,

Observing the Taoist, he appeared to be around sixty or seventy years old, spirited and lean, with long, partially grayed beard, holding a horsetail whisk that looked quite respectable.

Looking at the Monk, he too had a gray beard, was portly, holding a Zen staff, an old fat monk look, with even six Scars of Precepts on his head.

Both seemed elderly, evidently having practiced for many years.

Then looking at himself, merely an eighteen-year-old, young and handsome Little Monk, it perhaps made sense that they would not regard him seriously?

User profiles!

Watching the two of them sizing each other up with disdain and not minding his presence, Jiang Liu gladly took it easy and silently recited as he checked their user profiles.

Well, both of their cultivation levels were quite impressive, of course, only in terms of the Mortal World.

The lean old Taoist had a level of 52.

And the portly old Monk was at level 53.

This 𝓬ontent is taken from fгeewebnovёl.co𝙢.

Both had reached the Returning Void Realm, which indeed was impressive cultivation for those in the Mortal World.

"Gentlemen, please come this way…" The guard at the entrance of the Royal Palace, seeing that Jiang Liu and the others had come bearing the Imperial edict, naturally did not obstruct them and led them into the palace.

Jiang Liu was just a young Little Monk and preferred not to attract too much attention. Therefore, Zhu Bajie and Wujing had taken on human forms, making it appear as though they were merely attendants.

However, the old Taoist and old Monk still did not pay any attention to Jiang Liu.

The group directly entered the main hall of the Royal Palace.

Inside the hall, a young man about twenty-four or twenty-five years old was sitting quietly on the royal throne, looking rather melancholic.

On hearing that a few highly skilled in subduing demons and eliminating evil had come in response to the Imperial edict, he perked up a bit.

"Gentlemen, do you all possess the methods to subdue demons and eliminate evil? May I know what skills you have?" The man straightened up a bit, the King of Zhuzi Country inquired.

"I have mastered spellcasting, capable of swallowing clouds and exhaling mist, and commanding wind, fire, thunder, and lightning!"

"I practice the Wrathful Vajra skill, capable of subduing demons and eliminating evil, expelling evil spirits and capturing ghosts!"

Following the old Taoist and old Monk stating their abilities, the eyes of the King of Zhuzi Country fell on Jiang Liu.

At the same time, the old Monk and old Taoist also turned their attention to Jiang Liu, waiting to see him make a fool of himself.

"Such a young Little Monk? Only a few years into cultivation? Daring to respond to the Imperial edict? Isn't that overestimating his capabilities?"
