Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything
Chapter 836 - 836: The Unwelcome Jiang Liu

Sun Wukong's words drew everyone's attention.

"Wukong, you said you know what the final calamity of the eighty-one trials is? Then tell us," Jiang Liu asked curiously, looking at Sun Wukong in surprise.

"Master, isn't it obvious?" Sun Wukong, puzzled that even his master was asking, answered, "Our goal on this journey is to overthrow all the immortals and Buddhas, so naturally, the final calamity is to kill the Buddha and cleanse Spirit Mountain with blood!"

"Huh? That doesn't seem wrong at all!?" Sun Wukong's words made Jiang Liu nod.

Indeed, Sun Wukong's reasoning was rather sound!

However, everyone on Spirit Mountain was waiting for the team on the journey to the west for scriptures to retrieve the true scriptures, spread Buddhist law to the east, and bring great prosperity to the Buddhist Sect. But in the end, the team was going to cleanse Spirit Mountain with blood? Can't wait to see the looks on the faces of the Buddhists, led by Tathagata!

Just the thought of it is amusing and exciting!

Of course, it would be best if I had the power to cleanse Spirit Mountain with blood, so I could see Tathagata's face then.

If my strength is not enough, then I might just be going to my death.

Thinking of this, Jiang Liu felt an increased sense of urgency.

Next to him, Zhu Bajie and the others clearly also felt the pressure, their faces becoming more serious.

"Master, we should continue to clear dungeons, shouldn't we?" Zhu Bajie handed the Calamity Book back to Jiang Liu and spoke up.

The naturally lazy Zhu Bajie was actively suggesting going into dungeons.

"Alright, naturally we must continue!" Seeing Zhu Bajie's sudden motivation, Jiang Liu was also very pleased.

Nodding, he had Sun Wukong unfold the Map of Mountains and Rivers, and the group continued into the dungeon.

The following days were very peaceful.

Clearing five or six dungeons a day, combined with cultivating the Green Lotus Taoist Scripture, plus life profession, the speed of gaining experience points was still very fast.

In the blink of an eye, another seven or eight days passed. During these days, Jiang Liu gained about 1 billion experience points. Combined with previous cultivation and the 800 million experience points reward from completing the Umbrella of the Masses task, he was getting closer and closer to level 75.

"Sure enough, the speed of gaining experience points in this brand-new dungeon is fast!" Looking at his character profile, Jiang Liu nodded satisfactorily, mumbling to himself.

As seven or eight days passed, Zhu Bajie and the others no longer felt as urgent as before.

Seeing that the time was about right, Jiang Liu said, "Wukong, I have some matters to attend to. You all wait for me here."

"Master, do you need me to accompany you?" Sun Wukong asked proactively upon hearing Jiang Liu's words.

"This time I'm leaving, not for battle, so I can go alone." Jiang Liu replied.

"Alright, Master, if there's any situation, call me anytime!" Sun Wukong responded, nodding.

"Call?" Jiang Liu asked, looking at Sun Wukong, completely not understanding what he meant by "call."

"Master, didn't you say it yourself? It means to send a message!" Sun Wukong asked Jiang Liu in surprise.

"Oh, it means 'call,' not 'call'!" Jiang Liu suddenly understood and corrected him.

"Same thing!" Sun Wukong waved his hand indifferently.

Shaking his head, Jiang Liu didn't bother arguing about it further. He stabilized his mind and descended directly.

After handling matters at Lion Camel Ridge, he had planned to visit the Netherworld Blood Sea. Now, he finally had the time.

As Jiang Liu continued to descend, he soon arrived at the Underworld.

Without stopping, Jiang Liu continued to dive, passing through the Underworld and reaching the lowest layer of the Three Realms, the Netherworld Blood Sea.

An endless sea of blood, with boundless waves of blood.

Although the scenery of the Netherworld Blood Sea seemed unchanging, Jiang Liu could discern the right path with slight discernment. With a flicker, he flew directly towards Ancestor Minghe's palace.

In this Netherworld Blood Sea, countless Asura Clan members lived.

The male Asura looked very similar to the Demon Clan, with ferocious and even sinister appearances.

But the female Asuras were voluptuous and charming.

Moreover, the female Asuras wore very revealing and bold clothing.

Perhaps recognizing Jiang Liu's extraordinary aura or being captivated by his handsome appearance, many female Asuras threw flirtatious glances at him, and some even daringly followed and chased him for a while as he flew past.

But at level 74, with the cultivation level of a Taiyi True Immortal, Jiang Liu was considered a minor expert in the Three Realms. With his full speed flying, not just anyone could keep up.

Thus, ignoring the female Asuras, they soon couldn't keep up and were left behind.

"These Asuras seem quite open!" Jiang Liu mused while observing the Asuras in the Netherworld Blood Sea.

According to legend, Nvwa was the first to attain saintliness among the Six Saints. Having created the Human Clan, she received immense merit, and thus reached successful saintly cultivation.

Ancestor Minghe imitated Nvwa, using the same method of creating a race to achieve saintliness, creating the Asura Clan in the Netherworld Blood Sea.

However, despite the great merit, it wasn't enough for saintliness.

While Nvwa's creation, the Human Clan, was weak, they were destined to be the protagonists of Heaven and Earth in the future.

But Minghe's creation, the Asura Clan, could never match the Human Clan and so didn't receive such immense merit.

Additionally, feeling that the Human Clan propagated by the union of Yin and Yang, Ancestor Minghe also created the Asura Clan as male and female, with sexuality as their inherent nature.

Seeing the Asuras, Jiang Liu pondered whether it was a mistake to leave his daughter here in the Netherworld Blood Sea.

But if not in the Blood Sea, where else could he place her?

Lingyu would be fine, but for Xueyu, her temperament was uncertain. The identity of the Demon Infant was not something easily controlled.

As he pondered, Jiang Liu soon arrived at the palace in the Netherworld Blood Sea.

The forces in the Netherworld Blood Sea naturally didn't stop Jiang Liu's arrival.

However, Ancestor Minghe was not present today. Jiang Liu was received by Tian Boxun, the leader of the four great demon kings under Ancestor Minghe.

"Greetings, Mr. Tian Boxun!" Jiang Liu greeted, bowing to Tian Boxun with humility and courtesy.

"Greetings, Master Xuanzang! Please have a seat!" Tian Boxun returned the bow and invited Jiang Liu to sit beside him.

Looking around the palace, which was much emptier than before, Jiang Liu asked with some curiosity, "Why is the palace so quiet today? Where is the Netherworld Sect Master? Why can't I see him?"

"I'm afraid it's an inconvenient time for your visit, as everyone is busy today. The Sect Master is also indisposed, so I am here to receive you. If I am not attentive enough, please forgive me, Master Xuanzang," Tian Boxun replied, his manner much more courteous than before, not at all like a fearsome demon king.

"Mr. Tian Boxun, you're too kind!" Jiang Liu remained humble and courteous, but inwardly, he was skeptical.

It was understandable if others were busy, but Ancestor Minghe himself couldn't make time to see me? He must be kidding!

Who didn't know that Ancestor Minghe had 4.8 billion Blood God Child avatars? As long as the Netherworld Blood Sea wasn't dry, he was immortal.

He could have sent an avatar, yet he claimed he was too busy to meet me? How could that make sense?

"By the way, where is my daughter?" Not rushing to unveil the lie, Jiang Liu asked Tian Boxun.

"You mean Miss Xueyu? She's about to have a breakthrough in her cultivation today, so she is likely with the Sect Master," Tian Boxun answered.

"So, I came all the way to the Netherworld Blood Sea and I'm not welcomed? Apart from Mr. Tian Boxun, no one seems willing to see me!" Jiang Liu thought, frowning.

"By the way, Holy Monk, I suddenly remembered there's something I need to handle. Do you still have any matters?" After chatting for a bit, Tian Boxun asked Jiang Liu as if something had occurred to him.

Tian Boxun still seemed courteous, but there was a clear sense of detachment.

Also, Jiang Liu understood the underlying meaning. It was a polite way of showing him the door.

"Sigh..."

Jiang Liu couldn't help but sigh.

"Mr. Tian Boxun!"

It was clear that any pretense of friendliness was over. Jiang Liu sighed inwardly and straightforwardly asked, "Please tell me, is there something I've done to offend you or the Netherworld Sect Master?"

"Why would you say that, Master Monk?" Tian Boxun asked, pretending not to understand.

"If not, then why does it seem like no one in the Netherworld Blood Sea welcomes me today? Apart from you, Mr. Tian Boxun, no one is willing to see me?" Jiang Liu asked directly.

"If I hadn't lost at Mahjong, I wouldn't have come to meet you!"

Tian Boxun sighed deeply, lamenting inwardly.
