Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything

From Master Wuchao, Jiang Liu roughly understood the course of events.

In general, was the Hongmeng Purple Qi originally in the hands of Master Wuchao? Then a man in black appeared and took the Hongmeng Purple Qi from Master Wuchao.

Then, in front of Master Wuchao, he took out a treasure of even higher value than the Hongmeng Purple Qi, and after merging the Hongmeng Purple Qi into it, it became a new treasure, which is likely the game system I possess.

Following this, the game system merged into my soul, allowing me to traverse into the world of Journey to the West, possessing the body of Tang Monk, making me the new Tang Monk?

So, my traversal, and my game system, are both man-made?

Then, who exactly is this so-called man in black? What is his purpose for doing all this?

It's been eight to nine years since I traveled to the world of Journey to the West, and he has never appeared before me.

Could it be? Did he do all this without any purpose? Does he not need me to act according to his will?

Or, perhaps? Is my current way of acting exactly what that mysterious person hopes for?

Knowing some things from Master Wuchao, Jiang Liu, instead of feeling enlightened, found his mind even more filled with doubts.

Seeing Jiang Liu with a look of confusion and contemplation, Master Wuchao drank tea one cup after another, remaining silent, with absolutely no intention of disturbing Jiang Liu.

In this way, after pondering for a long time, with even more questions in his mind, Jiang Liu thought for a moment, got up, and bade farewell to Master Wuchao.

"Merit Buddha, safe travels..." Seeing Jiang Liu leaving, Master Wuchao could guess where he was headed and did not ask, but simply bid him farewell graciously.

Then, he watched as Jiang Liu's figure sank directly into the ground, even further down, plunging into the Netherworld.

Indeed, Jiang Liu had arrived at the Netherworld, with his target being Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was evidently also in the know, so of course, he needed to find him to see what he knows.

"Greetings, Sandalwood Merit Buddha..."

At the entrance of Ksitigarbha Cave, the Novice Monk, upon seeing Jiang Liu, hurriedly greeted him.

"Hmm!" Hearing the Novice Monk's words, Jiang Liu nodded slightly and then confidently walked into Ksitigarbha Cave.

Previously, when Jiang Liu came, he would maintain appearances to see if Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was willing to see him.

But now, Jiang Liu had no intention of giving Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva the chance to refuse him and directly barged inside.

Seeing Jiang Liu's determined steps, the Novice Monk did not dare to stop him, quickly made way, and said, "Congratulations to Sandalwood Merit Buddha on achieving his Golden Body and becoming a Buddha!"

"Hmm!" Jiang Liu remained calm in response to the Novice Monk's congratulations, nodding slightly before stepping into Ksitigarbha Cave.

At this moment, there were more important matters at hand, so naturally, Jiang Liu was not concerned with the Novice Monk's congratulations.

"Greetings, Sandalwood Merit Buddha..." As Jiang Liu entered, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva also rose and greeted him.

"Greetings to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, I assume you knew I was coming, didn't you?" Although he had many questions to ask Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, Jiang Liu maintained politeness in front of him, returning the greeting and asking.

"With the current cultivation level of Merit Buddha, Tingdi can hardly hear your news anymore!" Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva smiled at Jiang Liu, showing he was pleased with Jiang Liu's progress.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's words softened Jiang Liu's expression considerably.

Tingdi can no longer pick up the news of Quasi-Saint level experts, so it's expected that, with his cultivation nearing Quasi-Saint level, Tingdi can hardly hear about him.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's expression of happiness on his behalf indeed touched Jiang Liu deeply.

"Bodhisattva, I came today for the matter of the Hongmeng Purple Qi, and also for the events regarding my arrival in this world..." Though his expression softened, Jiang Liu still got straight to the point.

"Sigh..." Hearing Jiang Liu's words, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva sighed silently.

Master Wuchao was of Quasi-Saint level cultivation, and Tingdi couldn't hear about him, but Jiang Liu hadn't reached the Quasi-Saint level yet, so Tingdi knew a bit.

Jiang Liu went to find Master Wuchao.

However, what exactly they talked about was unclear and intermittent, hard to make out.

"I hope Ksitigarbha can tell the truth!" After stating the purpose of his visit, Jiang Liu seriously gazed at Master Wuchao and said.

"Alright, Xuanzang, what is it you wish to know? Whatever I know, whatever I can say, I will tell you!" Nodding, Ksitigarbha spoke.

"I..." Hearing Ksitigarbha's words, Jiang Liu opened his mouth, wanting to ask some of the questions he had just raised with Master Wuchao.

However, as the words reached his lips, Jiang Liu swallowed them back, not voicing them out.

He had asked Master Wuchao several key questions, and Master Wuchao had answered them, but at that time, his mind was in chaos, and he didn't notice anything.

Now, much calmer, Jiang Liu realized that Master Wuchao's answers still held many reservations.

For instance, during the fight for Hongmeng Purple Qi, it was previously rumored to be in the hands of a mysterious figure in black, leading many to go to the Ming Sect to seek this figure, including Master Wuchao! Why was this?

He clearly knew that the Hongmeng Purple Qi was in his own hands, so why go to the Ming Sect?

Moreover, this time, he also went to the Gale Gorge?

Since he already knew the Hongmeng Purple Qi was in his hands, and even knew the truth of his transmigration, why didn't he seize it the first time Jiang Liu passed by Foutu Mountain, when his Cultivation Level was low, and it would have been easy?

When his Cultivation Level was low, other Quasi-Saints did not know, and he didn't seize it. Later, when Jiang Liu's level was higher, and other Quasi-Saints were aware, he instead joined the bustle?

How does this not defy common sense!

So, in front of Master Wuchao, Jiang Liu didn't think much and didn't notice these gaps. Now, much calmer, he knew Master Wuchao's answers had many reservations.

Therefore, when facing Ksitigarbha, Jiang Liu did not ask the previous questions but instead directly asked, "I wonder what exactly you, Bodhisattva, know? Or, what can you tell me? Please speak frankly!"

At this moment, Jiang Liu returned the topic to Ksitigarbha, letting him take the initiative to speak first.

Ksitigarbha did not have the cunning attitude of Master Wuchao, gently nodding, and said, "If so, let me tell you thoroughly!"

After finishing his words, Ksitigarbha pondered for a moment, obviously organizing his thoughts, then continued, "Regarding the Hongmeng Purple Qi, I don't know much, only that it is in your possession; any more, I do not know. Presumably, Master Wuchao knows more than I do!"

"Hmm!" Hearing Ksitigarbha's words, Jiang Liu had no intention of interrupting, only slightly nodding, indicating for him to continue.

"Additionally, what I also know is that you come from beyond this realm, not a being of this world, yet you occupy everything of Master Golden Cicada!" Pausing slightly, Ksitigarbha continued.

Jiang Liu still slightly nodded in response, showing no intention to interrupt Ksitigarbha, waiting for him to continue.

Ksitigarbha knowing he was a transmigrator was something Jiang Liu already knew, naturally, he wasn't surprised.

"Moreover, I also know that your ultimate goal is to overthrow the realm of Immortals and Buddhas, therefore, over these years, for every Immortal and Buddha who died because of you, I have prearranged their reincarnation, serving as your logistical support!" Following this, Ksitigarbha continued.

"For this, I must thank you for your assistance, Bodhisattva!" Hearing this, Jiang Liu nodded, expressing his gratitude to Ksitigarbha.

In recent years, as he slaughtered Immortals and Buddhas, Ksitigarbha prearranged these lost souls' reincarnation, indeed displaying tacit cooperation. Jiang Liu naturally realized that Ksitigarbha was aiding him.

"No need to be polite!" Hearing Jiang Liu's thanks, Ksitigarbha waved his hand, the atmosphere seemed very harmonious.

With a slight nod and not dwelling more on this matter, Jiang Liu's gaze continued to stay on Ksitigarbha, waiting for him to continue.

However, Ksitigarbha merely stared at Jiang Liu, showing no intention to speak further.

"Uh, Bodhisattva, have you finished speaking?" After waiting for a moment, the atmosphere seemed slightly awkward, Jiang Liu asked Ksitigarbha.

"Yes, all that I should say and can say has already been said!" Ksitigarbha nodded.

"Is there really nothing more to say?" Jiang Liu frowned slightly, clearly feeling somewhat dissatisfied.

"Amitabha..." Ksitigarbha did not say more, only clasping his hands together and softly chanting a Buddhist mantra.

"Alas..." Seeing Ksitigarbha's demeanor, Jiang Liu inwardly sighed.

Following this, he said, "May I ask, who is it that brought me to this world? Bodhisattva, do you know?"

"Also, why did you, Bodhisattva, choose to cooperate with me against the Immortals and Buddhas?"

"I would like to know these two points, please speak clearly, Bodhisattva..."
