Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything
Chapter 923 - 923: My Taoist Title: Tongtian

The Eighteenth Lotus, under Jiang Liu's control, appeared directly above Master Golden Cicada's head. The yellowish glow descended, instantly enveloping Master Golden Cicada completely.

This divine level quality equipment, emitting light with attack power, forced Master Golden Cicada to scream miserably.

Soon after, under this yellowish glow, his figure completely transformed into starlight and dissipated into nothingness.

Prompt: Gained 2,480,000 Experience Points, acquired 608 taels of money.

After Master Golden Cicada was slain, the system prompt sounded almost simultaneously.

Jiang Liu felt no emotional fluctuations at such a system prompt.

Since entering the Illusionary Demon Cave, two months had passed, and during this time, his level increased.

Naturally, the transformed Master Golden Cicada also became stronger, and the Experience Points and money gained after defeating him rose accordingly.

Prompt: Level up, current level 79.

However, almost at the same time, the system prompt sounded once again.

Jiang Liu's heart was stirred by this system prompt.

Leveled up?

When he first entered the Illusionary Demon Cave, he was level 77. Now, after two months, his level finally rose to 79?

Two months to gain 2 levels? Though not quick, it wasn't slow either.

After all, he had quite a bit of Experience Points before entering the Illusionary Demon Cave.

However, leveling up later requires more and more Experience Points.

Even if Master Golden Cicada's level increased, yielding more Experience Points, it still couldn't catch up with the increasing Experience Points needed for leveling.

Character page!

Though leveling up was a happy occurrence, what Jiang Liu cared about most was the time needed for the next level-up.

Thus, Jiang Liu opened his character page, with his primary focus on his experience bar.

666,000/5.5 billion

"So, the Experience Points needed to reach level 80 already increased to 5.5 billion?" Jiang Liu sighed helplessly in his heart upon seeing the state of the experience bar.

Still, Jiang Liu held some anticipation for the upcoming level 80.

According to the rules of the Severance of Corpses page, once reaching level 80, he could sever the Evil Corpse, right?

The Good Corpse's profession is Heavenly Master, known for attack power.

So, what profession should he choose for the severed Evil Corpse?

Jiang Liu thought for a moment. If he were a lone wolf, having a supportive profession and the Heavenly Master as a ranged Dharma Master.

Next, he'd need a warrior profession for a complete lineup.

But, judging from Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie's situations, he already had warrior professions, even several of them.

So, Evil Corpse's profession need not be selected from the warrior type.

After pondering, Jiang Liu felt choosing Taoist, then transitioning to Demon Master for the Evil Corpse's profession seemed a good fit.

The Demon Master's profession focuses on the bizarre and curses.

For instance, his Weakness Talisman and Sheep Transformation Technique are Demon Master's skills.

Imagining future battles, his support could provide various buffs and recovery effects for allies, while the Evil Corpse could inflict various curse effects on enemies.

Such a lineup could indeed reveal greater advantages, right?

"Seems like I need to properly organize those Skill Books for the Taoist and Demon Master I looted. Given my current leveling speed, probably around a month and a half should suffice," Jiang Liu internally planned for the forthcoming severed Evil Corpse, eagerly anticipating.

Meanwhile, there was another point of anticipation.

Every 10 levels, he would unlock a new game system feature.

So, after reaching level 80, what feature would he unlock? Jiang Liu was also highly expectant.

Organizing his thoughts thoroughly, Jiang Liu opened the marketplace page to take a look.

Over two months, he had also accumulated quite a bit of money, and his level ups were decent. What about his money?

He looked at his money in the marketplace, 8.96 million taels.

"Hmm, I'm short about 1 million taels to purchase the Tai Chi Diagram. Given my earning speed, it should take less than a month and a half to gather it!" Jiang Liu nodded with satisfaction while looking at the amount of money stored in the marketplace.

After a good rest and clear organization of his thoughts, Jiang Liu had a meal.

Soon, the starlight reappeared, forming into the shape of Master Golden Cicada.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Liu moved immediately, raising his hand to point at Master Golden Cicada.

He cast the Silencing Zen skill right away.

Over the span of more than two months, having faced this Master Golden Cicada countless times, Jiang Liu had become quite skilled.

...

Not to mention the current situation of the Journey to the West for Scriptures team, but in a Different Dimension Space.

On a deserted island, at the edge of a milky white pool, Gaoyang sat cross-legged, quietly cultivating the Cultivation Technique from the Green Lotus Taoist Scripture.

As she cultivated, you could see the phantom of green lotus flowers slowly growing, blooming, filled with spiritual energy.

After a long time, Gaoyang slowly opened her eyes.

Immediately, the green lotus flowers that had manifested around her slowly dissolved into nothing.

After stopping her cultivation, Gaoyang's face showed an expression of great joy.

"Wonderful, I've successfully made a breakthrough; I'm now at the Taiyi True Immortal state!" Gaoyang's face was filled with an expression of surprise, quietly murmuring in her heart.

Yes, in a mere two years, being able to directly break through to the level of Taiyi True Immortal? This was something Gaoyang hadn't dared to imagine before.

Within the Buddhist Sect, the Cultivation Level of a Taiyi True Immortal could even be conferred the Bodhisattva Rank, right?

It's worth mentioning that, six years ago, I was just a cultivator at the Body Tempering Realm.

After stopping a day's cultivation, Gaoyang then took out a Jade Bowl in front of the milky white pool, scooped a bowl of pool water, drank it down, feeling utterly refreshed.

Vaguely, her physique became slightly purer.

Having been on this strange Nameless Deserted Island for two years, it's undeniably joyful that I've been able to break through to the Taiyi True Immortal realm.

However, Gaoyang understood why she was able to make the breakthrough.

Firstly, the spiritual energy on this Nameless Deserted Island was incredibly abundant, even more so than the Purple Bamboo Forest at Bodhisattva Guanyin's Taoist Arena, making cultivation here yield twice the result with half the effort.

Secondly, this pool in front, with its milky white water, can enhance aptitude and streamline meridians.

Gaoyang has been drinking from here for two years, the original pond has now been drunk down to a pool, and over two years, her aptitude had risen to a very high level.

Finally, the Green Lotus Taoist Scripture she was cultivating seemed to be a very top-tier cultivation technique.

With the combined effect of these three elements, she was able to jump directly from the Returning Void Realm two realms up to the Taiyi True Immortal level in two years.

"Ah, I wonder how Jiang Liu is doing now? Two years have passed!" It's certainly joyful to have successfully broken through to the Taiyi True Immortal state, but thinking of Jiang Liu, Gaoyang couldn't help but open the dialogue box.

In two years, she had sent numerous messages to Jiang Liu, even many video calls.

But, she had never been able to reach him.

Gaoyang knew it must be because she had arrived at this peculiar place that she couldn't contact Jiang Liu.

Taking a look, in two years, she had sent hundreds of messages, all sinking like stones into the sea; because of the breakthrough, Gaoyang's joyful mood instantly dimmed considerably.

"Two years have passed, I've tried countless ways to leave here, but none succeeded; now I've broken through to the Taiyi True Immortal level, I wonder if I could leave now?" Regaining her spirit, Gaoyang pondered, hopeful once again.

Then, Gaoyang re-energized her spirits and flew directly out, thinking about leaving this Nameless Deserted Island.

With the Cultivation Level at Taiyi True Immortal, Gaoyang's speed was naturally very fast.

Leaving the Nameless Deserted Island, Gaoyang swiftly flew towards the horizon.

In a straight line, heading in one direction.

In Gaoyang's view, this might be her best bet at leaving this deserted island successfully.

But, after flying for about a day and a night, a familiar island suddenly appeared in front of Gaoyang.

"Did I, did I come back here?" Gazing at the familiar island, Gaoyang's mood sank.

Having stayed on this island for two years, Gaoyang was naturally very familiar with it.

She could instantly tell she had come back.

With a long sigh, she didn't expect that even having broken through to Taiyi True Immortal, she still couldn't leave this deserted island?

Could it be? Is she going to be trapped here for life, unable to leave?

"Hmm, wait, there seems to be a figure there!?"

Just as Gaoyang's heart sank with some frustration, while positioned high above, she suddenly noticed a figure standing by the pool where she typically cultivated.

After two years, an outsider suddenly came?

Since someone came, they should know how to leave, right?

Thinking of this, hope reignited in Gaoyang's heart.

Then, her figure descended.

After landing by the pool, Gaoyang carefully examined the figure in front of her.

The figure appeared to be a young man, around twenty-six or twenty-seven, dressed in black Taoist Robe, with an aura around him as deep and unfathomable as an abyss.

"Hello, may I ask who you are? How did you get here?" Having scrutinized the young Taoist, Gaoyang asked.

"My Taoist name is Tongtian!" The young Taoist replied.

With that said, he paused and continued, "As for how I came here? That's a question I should be asking you, right?"

"This place is my Taoist Arena..."
