Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything

Legend has it that when Pangu opened up the heavens, his body transformed into all things, and among them, the natural elements had their own distinctions, with earth, wind, fire, and water each having their virtues.

Among flames, the most famous include the True Sun Fire, the Taiyin True Flame, and the Samadhi True Fire.

And naturally, there are also various peculiar winds, such as the Samadhi Wind, and more notably, the True Wind of Nansun.

The Gale Gorge, which hadn't changed for tens of thousands of years, suddenly had its winds stop, which aroused the greed of many demons, thinking that there must be great fortunes deep within.

However, when the azure blue wind blew forth, those demons who considered themselves clever and fast were instantly blown to dust by this azure blue wind.

"Terrifying wind, could this be the legendary True Wind of Nansun?" An elderly man with white hair and beard, whose true form was unknown, watched the azure blue wind blow out, his face showing shock as he murmured softly.

"Grandpa, what is the True Wind of Nansun?" Beside the old man was a little girl, who was only at the Demon King realm, but could already transform into a Taoist body, she asked curiously.

"It's said that in ancient times, after the Great God Pangu perished, his last breath blew towards the southwest, turning into the True Wind of Nansun. This True Wind of Nansun is said to be capable of dispersing everything, akin to the terrifying True Sun Fire, but Grandpa only knows this from hearsay and has never seen it personally!"

Hearing his granddaughter's inquiry, the elderly man shook his head and said.

"Is it that powerful? It can disperse everything? If I could get this True Wind of Nansun, wouldn't I become extremely powerful?" Upon hearing this, the little girl's eyes lit up, exclaiming in amazement.

"Don't even think about it. Even a Great Luo Golden Immortal doesn't necessarily withstand the terror of the True Wind of Nansun; this is definitely not a treasure we can covet. Let's leave quickly, for if this is truly the emergence of the True Wind of Nansun, surely Immortals and Buddhas will soon appear!" The old man smiled and flicked his granddaughter's forehead, saying.

After speaking, he quickly left with his granddaughter.

With such a treasure surfacing, even Immortals and Buddhas will certainly be unable to sit still, and when that happens, beings like demons and anomalies will be in danger.

"Such a wind, it's so powerful. If I could get it, I would surely gain fame across the Three Realms..." Many demons watched the destructive power of the azure blue wind with heated passion.

However, the force of this wind was so frightening that despite their fervor, few dared to risk approaching it.

Of course, there were also some calmer individuals, knowing it would be dangerous to stay, therefore, like the grandfather and granddaughter just now, they quickly left.

The news of the True Wind of Nansun soon spread far and wide.

And upon hearing this news, Immortals and Buddhas, as well as powerful demons who had any confidence in themselves, all headed to the Gale Gorge, eager to give it a try.

As a result, the Gale Gorge became increasingly lively, resembling the scene back when the Taiyin True Flame emerged on the moon.

It's just that those attempting to approach and subdue the True Wind of Nansun, those who decisively retreated at critical moments, were able to keep their lives intact.

Yet, if one's retreat wasn't timely enough, they would end up turning to ash and smoke in the end.

Under this True Wind of Nansun, even an Immortal Golden Body would be directly blown to dust, its power leaving people in awe.

The Journey to the West Pilgrimage Team, Jiang Liu and the others continued their journey westward toward the Western Heaven as usual, unaware of the events at the Gale Gorge thousands of miles away.

The emergence of the Taiyin True Flame on the moon had its anomaly enough to capture everyone's attention.

However, the uproar caused by the Gale Gorge's True Wind of Nansun couldn't match that of the Taiyin True Flame; thus several days passed, and Jiang Liu hadn't heard of the True Wind of Nansun.

滴滴滴...

Just then, three days after the True Wind of Nansun appeared, as Jiang Liu rode on the back of the White Dragon Horse heading west, suddenly, a corresponding message alert sounded in his mind.

Jiang Liu opened his friend list and saw Gaoyang's avatar flashing.

"Jiang Liu, near the junction of the South Sea and the Western Sea, there's a place called Gale Gorge, where it's rumored that the True Wind of Nansun has emerged!" This was the message from Gaoyang.

"True Wind of Nansun? What's that?" Jiang Liu muttered silently to himself as he read Gaoyang's message.

After pondering for a moment, he didn't rush to reply but turned to Zhu Bajie and said, "Bajie, I have something to ask you!"

"Master, what do you want to ask old me?" Hearing Jiang Liu's words, Zhu Bajie immediately came to Jiang Liu's side.

"Do you know of the True Wind of Nansun?" Jiang Liu asked Zhu Bajie.

"Oh, that! I know!" On hearing this, Zhu Bajie nodded.

Though he didn't know why the master suddenly inquired about the True Wind of Nansun, Zhu Bajie dutifully relayed the pertinent information to Jiang Liu.

Indeed, Zhu Bajie proved to be the most knowledgeable of the Journey to the West Pilgrimage Team, and from him, Jiang Liu also came to understand the situation regarding the True Wind of Nansun.

Simply put, it is an element with the same quality as the True Sun Fire, except one is fire, and the other is wind.

"Oh? I didn't expect that the True Wind of Nansun would appear in this world. We need to come up with a plan to capture it!" After understanding, Jiang Liu replied to Gaoyang.

"Indeed, I was thinking the same thing!" Gaoyang quickly replied, agreeing with Jiang Liu.

Previously, the Taiyin True Flame was given to Red Boy. With the help of the Taiyin True Flame, Red Boy's cultivation level directly rose to the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, adding another powerful being to the Ming Sect.

So, if the True Wind of Nansun can be successfully captured, who would it be suitable to give it to?

After pondering for a moment, Jiang Liu thought of Yellow Rat Demon.

Speaking of which, although the Ming Sect is now very powerful, Yellow Rat Demon was probably the first demon I subdued, right?

That was even before I left the border of Great Tang.

In the original text, Yellow Rat Demon had the innate ability of the Samadhi Wind, which did cause some trouble for Sun Wukong.

More importantly, Yellow Rat Demon was very greedy for food. Using a mix of grace and might, I subdued him and had him find chili peppers for me.

He even went to the Heavenly Court's Empress's Glycyrrhiza Garden, and down to the Demon Realm before successfully finding chili peppers for me.

"As the arguably most senior member of the Ming Sect, indeed he made contributions when finding chili peppers, and more importantly, he naturally possesses the innate divine ability of the Samadhi Wind. If the True Wind of Nansun can be captured, giving it to him would be a good choice!"

Thinking of Yellow Rat Demon, Jiang Liu nodded silently, deciding the destination of the True Wind of Nansun.

"By the way, how is Yellow Rat Demon's cultivation level now?" With this thought, Jiang Liu sent a message to Gaoyang.

"Yellow Rat Demon is quite diligent in his cultivation, spending most of his time in the Enlightenment Hall. His cultivation level has reached the Taiyi Late Stage, and during occasional spars in the Martial Arts Hall, his Samadhi Wind is quite impressive too!" Gaoyang replied.

"Hmm, Taiyi Late Stage? Not bad at all. I hope this True Wind of Nansun can further enhance his cultivation level, pushing him directly to the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal!" Nodding silently, Jiang Liu decided to try capturing the True Wind of Nansun.

Hint: Trigger mission "Capture the True Wind", mission requirement: Successfully capture the True Wind of Nansun in Gale Gorge, reward: 9 billion Experience Points, Epic Level Treasure Chest *1.

As Jiang Liu made up his mind, the system's prompt sounded in Jiang Liu's mind.

There is no penalty, this is an active mission. However, looking at the mission prompt, Jiang Liu shook his head silently.

To be honest, a reward of 9 billion experience points isn't little, but for me now, it's just an epic-level mission...

Given the experience points needed for Jiang Liu's current level, doing missions remains the quickest way. This 9 billion experience point mission is indeed a timely help for Jiang Liu.

After carefully reviewing the mission, Jiang Liu quickly sent a message to Gaoyang, indicating his intention to visit Gale Gorge personally, and then closed the dialog box.

"Wukong! As your master, I need to go on a long journey, you can stay home for now and continue your dungeon runs!" Having decided, Jiang Liu spoke to Sun Wukong and the others.

Meanwhile, the Good Corpse on the Severance of Corpses page was also released.

"Master, is there something important?" Since their master was not taking them along, they assumed he had his own considerations, but Sun Wukong and the others still curiously asked.

"Yes, on this journey, I might appear as a black-clad mysterious person; thus, it's more suitable for me to go alone! It's to capture the True Wind of Nansun!" Jiang Liu explained the situation without hiding anything.

Well, hearing that their master might appear as a black-clad mysterious person, Sun Wukong and the others understood that it wouldn't be appropriate for them to accompany him.

Therefore, they no longer asked questions.

After giving a brief explanation, Jiang Liu's figure moved, rising into the air, heading directly towards Gale Gorge.

Regarding capturing the True Wind of Nansun, Jiang Liu knew that relying solely on his abilities wasn't sufficient, so his biggest reliance was the Tai Chi Diagram.

The Tai Chi Diagram has a hidden function of stabilizing earth, fire, water, and wind. With its capabilities, capturing the True Wind of Nansun should be feasible.

As a result, Jiang Liu mentally prepared to appear as the black-clad mysterious person.

Although the Quasi-Saint level powerhouses across the Three Realms and Six Paths are searching for the black-clad mysterious person, Jiang Liu believed that if he merely showed the Tai Chi Diagram, swiftly captured the True Wind of Nansun, and then left, there should be no issue.

Reflecting internally, Jiang Liu soon arrived at Gale Gorge.

Dazzling Buddhist Light radiated from his body, causing many in Gale Gorge to retreat significantly, and many Immortals and Buddhas even greeted Jiang Liu proactively.

"I have seen Sandalwood Merit Buddha!"
