Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything

Although she didn't understand why Jiang Liu was so eager to enter the Map of Mountains and Rivers for a stroll, seeing his expression, Fairy Zixia thought for a moment and nodded.

Fortunately, her injuries had also recovered by about seventy or eighty percent, and there were no serious problems left. Zixia's mana infused into the Map of Mountains and Rivers, and then, the entire painting unfolded, rippling like the surface of water with slight ripples.

"Holy Monk, you can come in now!" said Zixia to Jiang Liu.

"Okay, I'm going in!"

Jiang Liu nodded, spoke, and with a leap, jumped directly into the Map of Mountains and Rivers.

As he felt his vision blur, Jiang Liu could see that the entire world had changed. He unfolded his Feather Demon Blade behind him and hovered in midair, looking around.

Speaking of which, the world within the Map of Mountains and Rivers was truly lifelike, making it completely indistinguishable from reality, except that it was a bit too small, spanning only about seven or eight miles.

This time, he entered a lush rainforest environment. From his elevated viewpoint, Jiang Liu could see many animals in the rainforest.

Hisss Hisss Hisss...

After searching around, Jiang Liu soon spotted a giant python, its head raised and its tongue flicking out as it stared at him, the sharp fangs barely visible, its eyes cold and emotionless.

Character interface!

Looking at the thick python in front of him, Jiang Liu's mind stirred slightly and he silently invoked a command.

Suddenly, a translucent character interface appeared in front of him.

ID: Giant Python (White)

Gender: Female.

Level: 26.

Profession: Demon.

Equipment: None.

Seeing the information on this giant python, Jiang Liu's heart leapt with joy—a Level 26 being? And a character interface!?

Putting Jiang Liu's excitement aside, after a brief standoff, the giant python moved, opening its massive jaws to bite at him.

However, as it lunged with its gaping mouth, Jiang Liu raised his hand, and instantly, the World-Destroying Black Lotus appeared in his hand.

A greyish light burst forth from the Black Lotus, striking directly at the giant python, and in an instant, its health bar was emptied.

Instant kill!

Notification: Earned 520 Experience Points, 40 gold.

As soon as the giant python was killed, the system notification appeared almost simultaneously, making Jiang Liu silently rejoice.

Indeed, his speculation was not wrong. The world within the Map of Mountains and Rivers was lifelike, and the animals killed here could also yield experience points.

"Divine Artifact! This truly is a divine artifact!"

Seeing the tip of the iceberg, one can discern the whole. Even though he had only killed a python, this made Jiang Liu acutely aware of the importance of the Map of Mountains and Rivers to him, filling him with immense joy.

If it really was so, wouldn't the Map of Mountains and Rivers be an infinitely usable dungeon for him?

The ability awakened by Jiang Liu was game-like abilities, leveling up through combat, but, limited by the scarcity of monsters in this reality, the primary way to gain experience points had become meditative cultivation.

Now, with this Map of Mountains and Rivers, it was like giving him a dungeon where he could endlessly grind for experience.

Divine Artifact!

For Jiang Liu, this truly qualified as a divine artifact.

The value of this Map of Mountains and Rivers to Jiang Liu was simply higher than that of any other treasure!

However, the monsters within the Map of Mountains and Rivers were not strong, which caused Jiang Liu to ponder in secret before finally speaking up and asking Fairy Zixia to let him out.

After a brief inquiry, he asked if the animals in the world of the painting could become stronger.

"Holy Monk, my mana is weak, so the Map of Mountains and Rivers can't really show much functionality. Only those with higher mana can create stronger creatures in the map, or even make the world inside the painting larger!" Hearing Jiang Liu's inquiry, Zixia slightly bowed her head, somewhat embarrassedly.

"So that's how it is!" said Jiang Liu, nodding in sudden realization upon hearing Zixia's words.

Looking at Zixia's character interface, she indeed only just reached level 61 with a white interface.

Then, Jiang Liu's gaze fell on Sun Wukong, saying, "Wukong, you try it. Whether the environment matters or not, try to create more opponents for me, how about it?"

"Okay, Master, I understand what you mean!"

Although Sun Wukong did not have a broad strategic perspective, he was still very smart. Hearing Jiang Liu's words, he naturally understood his intent and nodded in agreement.

While speaking, Sun Wukong took the Map of Mountains and Rivers from Zixia's hands, then thought for a moment, seemingly pondering how to design the world and scenery within the painting.

Soon, powerful mana was directly infused, and finally, he looked at Jiang Liu.

Jiang Liu nodded, feeling somewhat expectant, and then with a leap, he jumped back into the Map of Mountains and Rivers.

His vision blurred once again!

After arriving in the world of the Map of Mountains and Rivers, Jiang Liu could hear bursts of Buddhist chanting.

In the sky, countless spirit beasts flew by, and looking around, it was a boundless world that one couldn't see the edges of with the naked eye.

Sun Wukong's mana was simply a hundred times stronger than Zixia's, making the world unfolded in the painting far grander than Zixia's!

Suspended in mid-air, Jiang Liu saw a majestic mountain, which was the most eye-catching of all, with the Feather Demon Blade gently vibrating.

The mountain seemed to glow, and a grand building sat atop it, magnificent and grand, with various spirit beasts flying toward the mountain.

After some thought, Jiang Liu, too, vibrated the Feather Demon Blade behind him and flew over; soon, he saw a white elephant actually running through the air beside him.

Looking at the white elephant, Jiang Liu silently chanted "Character Panel" in his heart.

ID: White Elephant King (Blue).

Gender: Male.

Level: 44.

Equipment: None.

"Good fellow!" Seeing the level of the white elephant was actually 44, even a blue-quality beast, Jiang Liu was overjoyed, which was equivalent to a presence in the Divinity Transformation Realm.

He took out the Xuanhua Axe, and naturally, he killed the White Elephant King in a few swift moves.

As Jiang Liu had taken the initiative to attack, the White Elephant King heavily wounded and close to death, plummeted to the ground.

Notification: Gained 6720 Experience Points, 830 coins.

With the white elephant slain and the system's notification appearing, Jiang Liu was overjoyed.

Indeed, his idea was right; encountering any spirit beast here, all were around level 40 in cultivation level, making the world within the Map of Mountains and Rivers even more powerful now.

"What evil demon dares to cause trouble here!?" Just as Jiang Liu had slain the white elephant spirit beast, suddenly, a loud shouting voice arose.

Immediately, two figures in golden armor appeared, brandishing long halberds at Jiang Liu.

Jiang Liu glanced at them; these two figures in armor had a lower level than the white elephant, merely level 36.

Without any nonsense, Jiang Liu raised his Xuanhua Axe again and killed the two armored figures as well, continuing forward.

Arriving in front of the huge building atop the mountain, Jiang Liu looked up and his lips twitched slightly, his complexion darkening a bit.

Beneath the continuous chanting from the void, this grand and magnificent building had a large plaque on it with four big characters:

Great Thunder Monastery

"This monkey's sense of humor is quite interesting, designing the world of the Map of Nations to resemble the Great Thunder Monastery? Is this meant to give me some practice first!?" Looking at the Great Thunder Monastery before him, Jiang Liu muttered to himself, feeling somewhat helpless about Sun Wukong's quirky humor.

However, he had to admit that although he found Sun Wukong's tastes a bit bizarre, knowing well that the Great Thunder Monastery was fake, the thought that it might contain various great figures from the Buddhist Sect, even possibly the Tathagata, excited Jiang Liu.

Today, he might even try to clear this instance of the Great Thunder Monastery!

It's like when someone harbors hatred towards another, they might create a punching bag, painting the hated one's face on it to hit.

Knowing it's fake, yet still hitting it with great zeal!

Thinking of this, Jiang Liu was very motivated and after he killed the protector Vajra of the Great Thunder Monastery, he stormed inside directly.

Indeed, inside the Great Thunder Monastery, Jiang Liu encountered many Arhats, their levels quite decent, around level 40.

Jiang Liu naturally displayed his absolutely crushing strength, defeating them one after another.

Then, he discovered quite a few existences at the Bodhisattva level, and his Xuanhua Axe did not show any courtesy!

However, after walking for a while, Jiang Liu stumbled upon a familiar figure.

ID: Bodhisattva Guanyin (Golden)

Gender: ?

Level: 55

Equipment: Jade Clean Bottle (Legendary Level): ...

"Bodhisattva Guanyin? Have I encountered a mini-boss?" Looking at the golden 55-level Guanyin before him, Jiang Liu silently murmured to himself.

After all, in terms of level, Guanyin's was certainly not inferior to Buddha's, and she was a golden character.

"What evil demon dares to barge into my Great Thunder Monastery!?" Guanyin's pretty face held a trace of anger as she grabbed the Willow Branch and swept it towards Jiang Liu.

In an instant, the Willow Branch grew against the wind as it entangled towards Jiang Liu.

"Bring it on!" The golden mini-boss at level 55 invigorated Jiang Liu.

Strengthening Demon-Subduing Mantra.

Strengthening Body-Protection Spell.

After applying two buffing Buffs to himself consecutively, Jiang Liu moved swiftly, activating the Flashing Brilliance Shoes, appearing instantly behind Guanyin.

With his Xuanhua Axe ablaze, he directly chopped at Guanyin with the Fiery Slash skill!

Boom!

The Xuanhua Axe, burning with flames, struck hard on Guanyin's back, eliciting a scream. Visibly, Guanyin's health bar decreased slightly.

Simultaneously, the burning flames continued causing persistent damage.
