Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything

"I didn't expect that so much could happen in such a short month!" Hearing what his subordinate Great Witch had to say, Zhu Jiuyin showed a surprised expression on his face.

Is it really that the Immeasurable Kalpa has reached its final critical moment? Such events that can shake the Three Realms and Six Paths, truly are appearing one after another.

"Lord Ancestral Witch, Master Xuanzang has achieved Buddhahood. Should we go and offer our congratulations?" Seeing Zhu Jiuyin's contemplative look, the reporting member of the Witch Clan thought for a moment and asked.

"Go and congratulate him?" Hearing the words of this Witch Clan member, Zhu Jiuyin felt a slight stirring in his heart.

Logically speaking, I really should go and congratulate him. After all, my relationship with Xuanzang is quite good.

But thinking about it, now that the Immeasurable Kalpa has reached the most critical and dangerous moment, coming out at this time is indeed not a good idea!

"Forget it, no need. If I can train the Black Bear Demon and the White Mouse Demon well, it would be more important than saying ten thousand words of congratulations!" Shaking his head, Zhu Jiuyin said, finding a more fitting reason for himself.

Hearing Zhu Jiuyin's words, the Witch Clan member nodded, saying no more.

However, thinking of the current turbulent situation in the Heavenly Court, Zhu Jiuyin began to contemplate silently.

Next, the Jade Emperor should have some big moves, right? After all, as the saying goes, when one hits rock bottom, change becomes necessary. The more urgent the situation, no matter who, they will struggle a bit to find a way out.

Just like during the Great Catastrophe of Witches and Demons back then, knowing that both clans would fall after the catastrophe, neither the Witch nor the Demon Clan sat still waiting to die.

The reasoning is the same!

"White Mouse, come here for a moment..." After a brief thought, Zhu Jiuyin called out to the White Mouse Demon.

"What's going on this time? You're not going to make my training harder, are you?" Hearing Zhu Jiuyin's words, the White Mouse Demon approached with a somewhat apprehensive expression and asked.

"No, no, I want to give you two days off!" Shaking his head, Zhu Jiuyin replied.

"Give me two days off?" But the White Mouse Demon didn't look happy; instead, with a more wary expression, he looked at Zhu Jiuyin, silently pondering what his plan might be.

"That's right. I want to pass a message to Master Xuanzang, can you do it for me?" Nodding, Zhu Jiuyin said.

"Pass a message to the Sect Hierarch? No problem, leave it to me!" Hearing this, the White Mouse Demon's eyes sparkled, nodding eagerly.

"Yes, just tell Master Xuanzang to pay attention to the Jade Emperor's recent actions. He might be taking some targeted actions!" Nodding again, Zhu Jiuyin said.

"Huh? Do you mean the Jade Emperor will take action against the Holy Monk?" Surprised by these words, the White Mouse Demon asked.

"Just pass the message for me; it doesn't hurt to be cautious, right?" Zhu Jiuyin didn't see the need to explain further.

"Okay, I understand!" For the White Mouse Demon, seeing Jiang Liu at least once would be a cause for joy.

Therefore, pausing his special training, the White Mouse Demon immediately set off, leaving the Demon Realm to find Jiang Liu.

"With my wisdom, estimating this should be correct, right?" Watching the departing figure of the White Mouse Demon, Zhu Jiuyin wore a confident expression, murmuring to himself.

"How do you know the Jade Emperor wants to act against the Sect Hierarch? Did you perhaps see the future?" Hearing that the matter concerned Jiang Liu, the Black Bear Demon, who was sharpening his sword nearby, couldn't help but come closer and asked Zhu Jiuyin.

"You all don't know about the recent events!" Zhu Jiuyin began, narrating how Jiang Liu had embarrassed the Jade Emperor and rescued Jiang Ziya, telling it all to the Black Bear Demon.

"Didn't expect the Sect Hierarch to be so powerful now! He can actually oppose the Jade Emperor!" Hearing the major events in the Heavenly Court these days, the Black Bear Demon showed a pleased expression and murmured to himself.

"But hang on! How do you know the Jade Emperor wants to take action against the Sect Hierarch?" But soon, the Black Bear Demon realized something was amiss and looked at Zhu Jiuyin, asking curiously.

"Isn't it obvious? The Jade Emperor lost face. As the ruler of the Three Realms, doesn't he need to save face? Hence, his action against Master Xuanzang is only natural, right?" Zhu Jiuyin blurted out confidently without a second thought.

"I still think it's not quite reasonable..." Overhearing this exchange between Zhu Jiuyin and the Black Bear Demon, Dijiang carried a mountain over and expressed a contrary opinion.

Without waiting for questions from the Black Bear Demon or Zhu Jiuyin, Dijiang continued, "Given the Immeasurable Kalpa, with Master Xuanzang at its center, how could the Jade Emperor dare try to kill Master Xuanzang?"

"Right, right, Dijiang's analysis makes sense!" Nodding, the Black Bear Demon agreed.

"This..." Zhu Jiuyin paused slightly, his expression somewhat embarrassed, and the confident look on his face crumbled.

It seems I didn't consider this point after all. Is it still possible to call the White Mouse Demon back now?

"Ahem ahem, I certainly thought of that, but not daring to kill Xuanzang doesn't mean the Jade Emperor won't act to save face, hahaha, you all are still too young!" Unwilling to concede, Zhu Jiuyin laughed several times, adamantly maintaining his stance.

Just as he said this, Zhu Jiuyin felt extremely embarrassed inside, so he dashed away.

"Sigh, Zhu Jiuyin's supernatural powers are indeed terrifyingly powerful, but his thoughts... always seem muddled…" Looking at Zhu Jiuyin's completely unreasonable appearance, Black Bear Demon and Dijiang exchanged glances, then shook their heads secretly.

After calming their minds, one continued to carry the mountain, and the other continued sharpening the sword.

Meanwhile, in the Mortal World, Jiang Liu and his companions continued their Journey to the West, clearing around twenty dungeons each day, and life went on as usual.

Back when Randeng had just upgraded the dungeon, Xuanzang and others could only clear six to seven dungeons a day. Now, they're clearing about twenty a day, significantly increasing the speed of gaining Experience Points.

However, despite the increase in the rate of Experience Points acquisition, Jiang Liu looked at his current high experience bar and sighed internally.

To level up to 89, it would still take quite a while.

That day, after Jiang Liu and his group finished their dungeon expedition and had dinner to rest in their rooms, Jiang Liu jumped into the awakening page as usual.

In the late hours of night, suddenly, Jiang Liu jumped out from the awakening page, showing a joyful expression on his face.

"I've succeeded!" Jiang Liu rejoiced inside, then opened his skill list and focused his gaze on the Silencing Zen skill.

Corresponding data appeared before Jiang Liu's eyes.

Silencing Zen (Great Perfection): Requires Level 1, long-range casting, can silence the target for 2 seconds; in silence, skills cannot be cast. Awakening effect: Ignores target's counter suppression, cooldown time 20 seconds.

Looking at the skill information of Silencing Zen, Jiang Liu's face was full of surprise.

Is this really my first skill? The awakening effect is incredibly powerful! Ignoring target suppression, meaning even a Quasi-Saint level power trying to use law comprehension to counter Silencing Zen is impossible?

Moreover, it's complete ignorance, not a probability-based one!

Take awakened Dispel Curse for example, or the awakened Sheep Transformation Technique and Weakness Talisman of the Evil Corpse; against Quasi-Saint, there's always a certain probability.

But will my Silencing Zen succeed 100% of the time?

Such an effect is naturally very powerful.

"Now that Silencing Zen has successfully awakened, what's next? Which skill should I awaken next? Healing Holy Hand? Or All-or-Nothing?"

The awakening of Silencing Zen is indeed delightful, but after reviewing the information, Jiang Liu tidied up his emotions and pondered secretly.

Yes, which skill should I awaken next? It seems like All-or-Nothing is more practical, right? That's really my true BUG-level killer move.

However, after comparing the awakening of Silencing Zen and Dispel Curse, Jiang Liu felt that awakening "All-or-Nothing" may not be very suitable. Simply put, the cost performance is not high.

For instance, Silencing Zen is an initial skill; thus, the awakening time is short, and the awakened effect is 100%.

But Dispel Curse? The awakening time is relatively long, and the awakened effect is only a 50% chance!

Does it mean that the lower the initial skill level, the shorter the awakening time and the better the awakened effect?

If that's the case, how long will it take to awaken "All-or-Nothing," which I learned recently? And what are the odds of awakening successfully?

In terms of time, it seems I have about three years left, two to three years, at most three to four years before reaching the Great Thunder Monastery!

Knock knock knock!

Just when Jiang Liu was hesitating between awakening the Healing Holy Hand or All-or-Nothing, suddenly, he noticed the window of his Zen Room being knocked on.

"Who is it?" Jiang Liu asked, suddenly hearing the sound of knocking on the window.

"Sect Hierarch, it's me, quickly open the window, I have urgent news…" The voice of the White Mouse Demon came from outside the window.

"White Mouse Demon? Wasn't she training under Zhu Jiuyin?" Hearing the voice outside, Jiang Liu frowned slightly, secretly surprised.

Nonetheless, Jiang Liu got up and walked to the window, opened it.

As the window opened, the White Mouse Demon silently jumped in, directly into Jiang Liu's arms.

"Sect Hierarch, on this quiet night, alone man and woman, do you…"
