Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything
Chapter 848 - 848: Jiang Liu: No Pretense, I'm Laying My Cards on the Table

Want to hit someone!

At this moment, the old monk only felt a surge of anger in his mind, erupting like a volcano. He couldn't suppress it at all and wanted to hit someone!

He was still wondering if Xuanzang couldn't finish, perhaps he would ask him if he wanted some.

He had already decided that he would refuse at first, and then "reluctantly" agree.

He had thought it all out, but who knew Xuanzang would directly dump it out without asking him?

"Master, you look a bit unwell, are you sick?" With a thought to infuriate him to death, seeing the old monk twitching at the corners of his mouth, Jiang Liu asked.

"Xuanzang, the food you waste will affect the beauty of this mountain and water!" The old monk, filled with anger, couldn't say he wanted to eat it himself, so he could only blame Jiang Liu for polluting the environment.

"It's no problem, there should be hyenas or similar animals coming to eat it. Even without that, it can be considered as tree fertilizer, enriching the land!" Jiang Liu shook his head, saying nonchalantly.

Hyenas? Is he implying that the food is good enough for dogs but not for him?

The old monk's brow furrowed slightly, and he continued, "Food is precious, and you are wasting it so wantonly! That's outrageous!"

"Master, recently I saw a family in Lion Camel City, they just had a baby!" Without responding to the old monk, Jiang Liu brought up an unrelated topic.

"And what does that have to do with me?" The abrupt change in topic left the old monk slightly stunned.

"Exactly, it has no relation!" Jiang Liu nodded, continuing, "Similarly, my food, if I can't finish and throw away, what has that to do with you?"

"You..."

Fine, Jiang Liu's words left the old monk speechless.

Yet, the anger in his heart became uncontrollable, his face angry, "Xuanzang, you're wasting so wantonly, I must teach you a lesson in place of the Buddha!"

Speaking, the old monk raised his iron stick and struck directly towards Jiang Liu.

No deep hatred, but Jiang Liu's every word and action was grating on the old monk's nerves.

By this point, the old monk couldn't bear it anymore, he had to teach Jiang Liu a proper lesson to vent his anger.

"Is he getting addicted to fighting?" Watching the old monk attack again, Jiang Liu's brow furrowed slightly.

Likewise, Jiang Liu also felt a surge of anger in his heart.

He was captured before because he wanted to find out who was behind the old monk, so he endured the pain and got himself captured.

Now, the old monk was determined to beat him at the slightest provocation?

In that case, there was no need to keep up the act!

To find out the mastermind, they didn't only have to use gentle means.

Hard means could also work!

Bang!

Just as the old monk's iron stick was about to fall on Jiang Liu, a sudden yellowish light appeared, encompassing Jiang Liu.

The old monk's iron stick struck the yellowish light, creating ripples, but his attack was blocked.

"What is this!?" Seeing the light between him and Jiang Liu, the old monk's face changed slightly, then looked up along the light.

A lotus flower with eighteen grades appeared, floating in front of Jiang Liu.

"This is!?" The old monk's expression changed dramatically at the sight of the lotus.

A ninth-grade lotus is already considered a divine level equipment, but this eighteen-grade lotus, formed by merging two ninth-grade lotuses, is even more extraordinary.

Though the old monk is level 78 and Jiang Liu is level 75, the level difference is only three levels.

However, the old monk is merely a blue elite level, while Jiang Liu is a golden boss level.

Adding in this divine level eighteen-grade lotus, a three-level difference naturally means nothing.

"Sigh, initially I wanted to interact with you as a normal person, but you repay me with beatings. In that case, no more pretending, I reveal my hand, I too have Taiyi True Immortal cultivation!"

Jiang Liu blocked the old monk's attack with the eighteen-grade lotus, then looked at the old monk with cold eyes, speaking.

"No, this is impossible..." Hearing Jiang Liu's words, the old monk's eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at Jiang Liu.

"You just completed the heavenly tribulation and became a Heavenly Immortal not too long ago, how could you possibly reach the level of Taiyi True Immortal!?" The old monk nearly screamed in disbelief.

Xuanzang's name was on the roster of the Great Thunder Monastery, indicating that he had reached the Heavenly Immortal level.

This event was greatly discussed in the Great Thunder Monastery, with everyone acknowledging that Xuanzang, with his destiny, had achieved immortality within a few short years.

But how long has it been since then? He has already reached the level of Taiyi True Immortal!?

If this news were to spread, it would shake the entire Great Thunder Monastery!

Ignoring the old monk's shock, Jiang Liu controlled the eighteen-grade lotus, pressing directly towards the old monk.

Following the mind, the eighteen-grade lotus expanded in the wind, turning into a gigantic entity.

"Ah!"

Watching the pressing lotus, the old monk's face turned pale, shouting, he lifted his iron stick to block the eighteen-grade lotus.

With a bang, the iron stick pressed against the eighteen-grade lotus.

But, before the old monk could relax, he suddenly heard a series of shattering sounds.

The noise tightened the old monk's heart as he carefully examined his iron stick.

Cracks appeared, spreading and deepening.

"Damn! His cultivation is that high!?" Though the lotus is of divine quality, without sufficient cultivation, its power wouldn't be this great. Yet, his Dharma Treasure couldn't withstand the pressing lotus.

This indicated that Xuanzang's cultivation has reached a very high level.

"Wait, Xuanzang, let's talk this out..." Seeing his Dharma Treasure about to collapse, the old monk panicked, pleading.

However, once he started, Jiang Liu wouldn't stop easily.

So, Jiang Liu ignored the old monk's pleas and pressed the eighteen-grade lotus down harder.

Bang!

Finally, under the lotus's pressure, the old monk's iron stick shattered completely.

With the iron stick shattered, the gigantic lotus pressed down on the old monk!

With a massive roar, the entire world seemed to tremble violently!

This terrifying power was reminiscent of the Tathagata's Five-Finger Mountain pressing on Sun Wukong.

Immortal melodies wafted in the air!

As Jiang Liu pressed the eighteen-grade lotus on the old monk, suppressing him with unknown fate, suddenly a distant melody sounded from the sky, accompanied by flower petals formed by fairy spirit coming down.

"Could it be some great figure appearing?" Seeing the phenomenon, Jiang Liu's heart tightened slightly.

As expected, the clouds in the sky parted, revealing a path.

Six four-clawed azure dragons pulled a dragon carriage down slowly from the sky.

Around the dragon carriage, several divine generals in golden armor could be seen.

"What an impressive entrance!" Looking at the six-dragon carriage and the divine generals, Jiang Liu murmured to himself.

"May I ask which deity has graced us with their presence?" As the six-dragon carriage landed, Jiang Liu asked.

Though, he did not retract the lotus on the old monk.

Speaking, Jiang Liu glanced at the divine generals, noticing they all had significant cultivation levels!

The lotus slightly moved, revealing a middle-aged man seated inside.

The middle-aged man wore a green imperial robe, his head adorned with a diadem, looking extremely distinguished.

"Dressing like this? Usually, it's an emperor's attire." Seeing the man's attire, Jiang Liu was surprised.

But this man was clearly not the Great Jade Emperor.

Character profile!

In his surprise, Jiang Liu silently activated the man's character profile feature.

Soon, a translucent character profile appeared before Jiang Liu.

ID: Empress Qinghua (Golden).

Gender: Male.

Profession: Immortal.

Level: 90.

Equipment: ...

"So it's him!" Seeing the character profile, Jiang Liu understood.

As one of the Four Royals under the Great Jade Emperor, Empress Qinghua's status is indeed extraordinary.

Moreover, level 90 in gold grade says it all.

Most importantly, besides being level 90 in gold, Jiang Liu noted nearly all of Empress Qinghua's equipment was epic level, even a divine-level piece.

Though not reaching quasi-saint, his overall strength nearly stepped into the quasi-saint realm.

"I am Empress Qinghua, happened to pass by, seeing the lotus blooming, I stopped to take a look!" Empress Qinghua said calmly, eyes on Jiang Liu.

"Greetings, great Emperor!" Jiang Liu respectfully greeted.

"However, surely the Emperor didn't just happen to pass by, right?"
