Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything
Chapter 912 - 912: Returning Home in Glory

In ancient times, there was no division of the Three Realms on the Primordial Continent, where myriad clans lived and thrived.

However, during the Dragon and Phoenix Tribulation, one side led by Hongjun Ancestor and Ancestor Yangmei, and the other by Luohou, engaged in a world-shaking battle.

The Demon Ancestor Luohou was defeated, and the remaining powers around him hid away in a separate realm, forming the initial Demon Clan!

Because in ancient times, innate gods and demons also lived on the Primordial Continent, the Demon Clan, though independent of the Three Realms, still longed for the Mortal World.

Moreover, the Mortal World was prosperous, with fertile lands and beautiful scenery, but the Human Clan was generally weak in power.

Thus, whenever a rift appeared between the Human Realm and the Demon Realm, it was considered a great harvest for the Demon Realm.

Taking advantage before the Heavenly Court reacted, they could plunder freely in the Human Realm and even savor the taste of the Human Clan.

This time, when a rift suddenly appeared around him leading to the Human Realm, Ancestor Qilin naturally intended to plunder extensively.

He even decided to personally visit the Human Realm to take a look.

After all, since the Dragon and Phoenix Tribulation years ago, he had been hiding in the Demon Realm.

However, when Ancestor Qilin felt that everyone under him had been killed, pondering whether the people from the Heavenly Court reacted quickly, he crossed the rift and unexpectedly saw Xuanzang!

Who was Xuanzang?

At this moment, in the Three Realms and Six Paths, there was likely no one who did not know.

This was the center of the great calamity of Heaven and Earth, and along this journey, countless Daluo Golden Immortals had died, directly or indirectly, at the hands of the Journey to the West Pilgrimage Team.

Anyone with some insights understood that during the continuation of this Westward Great Calamity, it was best to keep a respectful distance from the Journey to the West Pilgrimage Team.

Otherwise, in a daze, one might meet a fatal calamity, and be wiped out!

Originally, when a rift to the Mortal World appeared in his territory, Ancestor Qilin thought his luck had come and was very happy.

But now, after seeing Xuanzang, Ancestor Qilin almost wanted to cry.

What grand luck was this? This was essentially like having eight lifetimes of misfortune!

The Jinshan Temple, where Master Xuanzang grew up, seemed to be destroyed by his own hands?

Judging from Xuanzang's detour on his journey westward, it was apparent how much the Jinshan Temple mattered to him. At this time, would Xuanzang, in his anger, strike at him?

Alright, Xuanzang's cultivation level hasn't even reached the Daluo Golden Immortal, seemingly not to be feared.

But, is Xuanzang's fearfulness due to his cultivation level?

No, it is entirely because he is the central figure of the Immeasurable Kalpa!

Thus, after recognizing Jiang Liu's identity, Ancestor Qilin decisively conceded and bowed in apology before Jiang Liu.

"Huh, is this Demon Realm big shot really so easy to talk to?" Seeing Ancestor Qilin bow in apology, Jiang Liu was secretly a bit surprised.

However, after thinking for a moment, he found it perfectly reasonable.

What is Ancestor Qilin anyway? When I went to the Netherworld Blood Sea, everyone there, including Ancestor Minghe, avoided me.

If Ancestor Minghe acted that way, let alone a mere Ancestor Qilin.

"Is this matter resolved with just an apology from you?"

Understanding that Ancestor Qilin dared not act rashly in his presence at this moment, Jiang Liu's expression slightly darkened, showing a look of anger as he spoke to Ancestor Qilin.

"Hey, Xuanzang, don't go too far. Our ancestor apologized to you, and that should be enough…" On the side, Yan Tieshan could not help but scold, feeling Jiang Liu was being unreasonable.

"Tieshan, silence!" However, before Jiang Liu could speak, Ancestor Qilin himself had already spoken first, rebuking Yan Tieshan in a low voice.

"Ancestor, we really don't have to fear him, didn't I fight them for so long just now and nothing happened? If you take action, they won't stand a chance!" Hearing Ancestor Qilin's words, Yan Tieshan persuaded.

"Silence!" Yet, Ancestor Qilin did not heed Yan Tieshan's words.

It appears on the surface that Xuanzang is indeed not likely to be a match.

However, Ancestor Qilin believed that if there were really a fight, the probability of unexpected incidents was high.

Then, the result would be Xuanzang unharmed, and himself perishing!

Having experienced the Immeasurable Kalpa since the Dragon and Phoenix Tribulation, Ancestor Qilin understood this very well.

...

Meanwhile, Jiang Liu was speaking with Ancestor Qilin. What were they discussing is not mentioned, but on the other hand, several flying ships in the sky remained hovering, neither approaching nor leaving.

"It seems that the battle at Jinshan Temple has ended, and from the looks of it, the entire mountain, including Jinshan Temple, seems to have been leveled," an elder in a Taoist robe said, looking down at Jinshan Temple.

"Indeed, it appears to be over. Should we go down and take a look?" said a Taoist nun beside him, nodding in agreement.

"I agree!" said Master Longhai nearby, thinking for a moment and nodding in agreement.

"Not only has the battle disappeared, even the demons seem to have vanished. Could it be that the Bodhisattva truly exterminated all the demons?"

Master Longhai's words served as a reminder to everyone.

Upon closer inspection, indeed, so many demons seem unseen at the moment?

Could it be? Have all the demons been completely annihilated?

After some discussion among the people on the flying ship, they quickly reached a consensus.

Soon, several flying ships slowly descended towards Jinshan Temple.

At this time, Jiang Liu and the Good Corpse stood side by side on a piece of ruined land, seriously glaring at Ancestor Qilin, with an aggressive demeanor, unwilling to let it go.

In reality, Jiang Liu almost had the Vajra Mantra skill clutched in his hand.

If anything were amiss, Jiang Liu would immediately cast the Vajra Mantra on himself.

On the surface, Ancestor Qilin seemed to fear him, so Jiang Liu pressed his advantage, becoming more aggressive.

But in truth, Jiang Liu was extremely cautious inside, not knowing if Ancestor Qilin's alleged fear was just a ruse.

What if he suddenly attacked?

If the level 90 Golden BOSS suddenly ambushed him, it would be a life-and-death situation if unprepared.

After all, in the Demon Realm, traits like insidiousness and cunning are considered virtues.

Just as Jiang Liu exchanged words with Ancestor Qilin, clashing verbally, suddenly, the sky seemed much darker.

Jiang Liu looked up and saw several flying ships descending.

"Is this? The Heavenly Master Hall's flying ships?" Jiang Liu secretly murmured, watching the descending ships.

After all, before setting out on the Journey to the West for Scriptures, he had once boarded a flying ship, so Jiang Liu naturally recognized them.

Not only Jiang Liu, but Ancestor Qilin and Yan Tieshan beside him also watched the descending flying ships, slightly frowning.

Talking here with Master Xuanzang, do these humans dare to descend?

Do they have a say here?

After the flying ships landed, Master Longhai and others got off and naturally stood beside Jiang Liu.

From the situation, they knew Jiang Liu was one of them.

However, when they disembarked, seeing the surrounding devastation, a wasteland, but the demon corpses piled high, they were secretly astonished.

After such a battle, the demons were indeed nearly wiped out.

"Huh? You, you are, Xuanzang?" After surveying the demon corpses, Longhai's gaze fell on Jiang Liu and exclaimed in surprise seeing Jiang Liu.

"Zen Master Longhai, long time no see, hope you're well!" Jiang Liu greeted, feeling a wave of nostalgia and emotion.

As the abbot of the Great Buddha Temple, after the Incense Offering Ceremony, he had spent some time there, and Zen Master Longhai somewhat looked after him.

Not to mention, the Heavenly Dragon Zen Sound back then was quite helpful to him.

"Xuanzang? Imperial Brother!?" Hearing Zen Master Longhai and Jiang Liu's conversation, the people from the flying ship also displayed astonishment.

That His Majesty and Master Xuanzang had become sworn brothers was well-known throughout the Great Tang.

Unexpectedly, the demon invasion situation brought Master Xuanzang here?

"Xuanzang, you did all this?" Recognizing Xuanzang, Longhai pointed to the demon corpses in surprise, asking Jiang Liu.

"Indeed, it's all my doing!" Jiang Liu nodded, without any denial,

It was all true; there was no need for denial!

"Unbelievable, such immense power!" Hearing Jiang Liu's admission, Zen Master Longhai was even more shocked.

Back when Master Xuanzang attended the Incense Offering Ceremony, he didn't possess such power, which Longhai clearly remembered.

Yet, the Journey to the West, in just a few years, his cultivation level has reached this extent?

The last time the Demon Cave under the Great Buddha Temple opened, Xuanzang had returned on a White Dragon.

His cultivation then was already astonishing.

But now, upon returning, Xuanzang's cultivation level had skyrocketed to an even more incredible degree.

"Amitabha, Zen Master Longhai, let's save our catch-ups for later. Now, I must speak of the main business!"

Seeing Master Longhai's shocked expression, Jiang Liu quietly chanted a Buddha name.

Then, his gaze returned to Ancestor Qilin.
