Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything

The black lotus platform quietly hovered midair, and a man in black robes with long, dark hair, appearing to be in his thirties, had a calm demeanor, creating an impenetrable aura that betrayed none of his thoughts.

Indistinctly, the sound of departing from conventional paths faintly echoed.

Jiang Liu's gaze fell upon this man, and he felt his mind sinking deep.

Moreover, it seemed that the man on the lotus platform noticed Jiang Liu's gaze, as he returned it with the same undisturbed calm.

When you stare into the abyss, the abyss stares back at you.

Looking at the person seated on the black lotus platform, this phrase suddenly materialized in Jiang Liu's mind.

Yes, as he observed the man, that was indeed the sensation he encountered.

"I pay my respects to the Buddha, I pay my respects to the Buddha..."

Next to him, led by Jumang, all forces of the Witch Demon Forest knelt down and worshipped the man seated on the black lotus platform, shouting loudly in their calls.

"The Buddha!? Who is this holy figure daring to call himself the Buddha!?" Hearing the demons' shouts, Guanyin hiding in the shadows was shocked, finding it unbelievable.

The Buddhist Sect originated from the transformation of Western Religion in ancient times, a power just beneath the two saints.

Nevertheless, throughout history, only those known as the Three-World Buddha had the right to be called Buddha within the Buddhist Sect.

Past Buddha Randeng, Present Buddha Tathagata, and Future Buddha Maitreya!

Besides these three, no one else within the Buddhist Sect had the right to the title of Buddha.

Yet, within the Demon Realm, was there actually someone who could be called the Buddha?

What in the world was going on!?

However, though Guanyin's mind was filled with surprise, she didn't cast much doubt on the mysterious man in black's identity.

Given the circumstances of his arrival, the depth of this black-robed man's cultivation level was unfathomable.

Such a character would hardly bother to falsely claim an identity from the Buddhist Sect.

"You, are you Xuanzang?" The black-robed man, seated on the black lotus throne, looked over Jiang Liu with an equanimous gaze, neither sad nor joyful, and asked.

His words were like a gentle spring breeze, bringing calm to the mind and not at all resembling the demeanor expected of a Demon Realm overlord.

Character UI!

Observing the figure before him, a slight movement stirred in Jiang Liu's heart, and he quietly summoned the person's character UI to check.

Soon enough, the sought-after UI appeared before Jiang Liu's eyes.

ID: Wutian Buddha (Golden).

Profession: Demon.

Gender: Male.

Level: 99.

Equipment: …

Seeing the character UI before him, surprise flickered in Jiang Liu's heart.

A Golden BOSS UI? Level 99?

Based on this character UI, he seemed to be no less powerful than Kunpeng, right?

After all, even though Kunpeng had reached level 100, his UI was only blue!

"Wutian Buddha? Could this really be the Wutian from the sequel to Journey to the West? But he isn't a character from the original Journey to the West, right?" As he looked at the man in the black robe before him, with an austere expression, Jiang Liu couldn't help but silently criticize.

Of course, no matter what Jiang Liu internally criticized, reality remained as it was, not bending to his will.

"I pay my respects to Wutian Buddha!"

After revealing the other's character UI, even though Jiang Liu was surprised internally, he kept his expression unchanged. Following Wutian's words, Jiang Liu nodded slightly, and spoke accordingly.

"Oh? So you know of me?" Wutian's expression remained calm. There might have been a hint of surprise in his heart, but it didn't show at all.

"To some extent, I know a few things, but I'm not sure if they're true..." Jiang Liu replied evenly.

He was aware of the sequel to Journey to the West, and the television series had narrated some of Wutian Buddha's origins.

However, whether the Wutian before him was the same as the one from the series, Jiang Liu could not be certain.

Of course, whether the information about Wutian Buddha's origins from within was true or not, Jiang Liu had no idea.

"Oh? You know a few things? Tell me, what do you know?" Wutian Buddha's eyes fell upon Jiang Liu, with a hint of interest.

"Now, should I address you as Wutian Buddha, or should I perhaps call you Gandharva Bodhisattva?" Jiang Liu pondered for a moment before posing the question to Wutian.

"Gandharva Bodhisattva!?"

Hearing this, Guanyin hidden in the shadows stirred slightly.

Bodhisattva?

Countless cultivators from the Demon Realm, even those lords among Immortals and Buddhas who had succumbed to demon possession, had entered it. So, was this so-called Wutian Buddha once a Bodhisattva from the Buddhist Sect?

But why had she no knowledge of this?

"A Bodhisattva? Is this the previous incarnation of the Buddha?" Jumang and the others prostrating on the ground stirred internally upon hearing Jiang Liu's words.

The existence of Wutian Buddha stood at the pinnacle of the Demon Realm, but his origins were unknown to virtually everyone there.

Unexpectedly, this Scripture-seeking individual seemed to know?

```

"Oh?"

Upon hearing Jiang Liu's words, Wutian Buddha, who had always maintained a calm demeanor, raised his eyebrows slightly, finally showing a ripple of emotion.

Gandharva Bodhisattva!?

This name, it seems, had not been heard for a very long time, giving one a strange sense of unfamiliar familiarity.

"Indeed, you're worthy of being the person of destiny in this Immeasurable Kalpa..." After a moment of silence, Wutian spoke up. Then, his gaze swept subtly towards the side.

Was it an illusion or not, but Guanyin, hidden within the crowd, shuddered with alarm, feeling that Wutian's gaze had lingered on her for a moment.

"Has he discovered me?" Guanyin's heart tightened as she thought.

Only, the feeling seemed to be nothing more than an illusion.

Without saying anything else, Wutian's eyes returned to Jiang Liu, and he said, "Since you all have come from the Mortal World, as the host, it's only right that I extend my hospitality. How about staying at my palace for a few days?"

"Can I say I don't want to!?"

Upon hearing Wutian's invitation, Jiang Liu couldn't help but grumble inwardly.

With his strength, wasn't it true that all of us tied together wouldn't even match one of his fingers?

Since refusal wasn't an option, he might as well display a bit of frankness.

Calmly, Jiang Liu nodded slightly, "It is my desire, I dare not refuse!"

"How can this be acceptable!?"

Hearing this, Guanyin's expression changed slightly.

What was the purpose of coming to the Demon Realm, if not to secretly protect Master Xuanzang and his companions? Now that they were about to be captured by the demons, how could she just stand by and watch?

Gandharva Bodhisattva!?

Although she had never heard this title before, if he was honored as a Bodhisattva before his demon possession, then she had no reason to be timid, right?

Buddha? That was just him being full of hot air, wasn't it?

Guanyin knew very well the gap between the honorific of a Bodhisattva and that of a Buddha.

Whoosh!

Just when Guanyin was about to step forward and take action, suddenly, Wutian Buddha casually flicked his hand, and a strange light instantly fell upon Guanyin.

In the next moment, Guanyin felt as if she were unable to move, as though she had been caught in an Immobilization Spell.

"This is impossible!" Feeling completely unable to move, Guanyin shouted in disbelief.

Although she was merely honored as a Bodhisattva, her true Cultivation Level was of the Great Luo Realm, which was sufficient for Achieving Buddhahood.

Yet Wutian Buddha immobilized her with a single move?

Although she was caught off guard, this still demonstrated the unfathomable Cultivation Level of Wutian Buddha.

"No wonder..." Immobilized, Guanyin had a sudden revelation.

Considering the recent dialogue between Xuanzang and Wutian, it was clear that Xuanzang knew something about Wutian.

But Xuanzang didn't show any resistance to staying, could it be that he knew he was no match?

With Xuanzang's extraordinary methods, the Laws Divine Powers, and Sun Wukong and the other disciples by his side, they should have the power to resist even a Daluo Golden Immortal, right?

But they didn't resist.

Indeed, had Wutian Buddha's Cultivation Level already surpassed the Great Luo Realm?

To have surpassed Great Luo, wasn't that equivalent to being a Quasi-Saint!?

Hiss...

Contemplating this, Guanyin took a sharp breath.

What did it mean to be a Quasi-Saint? How could Guanyin not know?

With such Cultivation Level, this figure known as Wutian, calling himself Buddha, seemed no longer to be mere boasting?

"Not bad, Master Xuanzang may be a junior, but such spirit is admirable!"

Having immobilized Guanyin with a single move, Wutian Buddha didn't show any murderous intent but looked at Jiang Liu with a nod of appreciation in his eyes.

Indeed, from Wutian Buddha's perspective, Xuanzang was the reincarnation of Master Golden Cicada, who in turn was Tathagata's second disciple, naturally, a junior to himself.

Yet, Wutian felt a deep admiration for Xuanzang.

Intuitively, Wutian sensed he was very different from the other Buddhist Disciples.

Being from the Buddhist Sect, Wutian was well aware of its internal affairs.

If asked whom within the Buddhist Sect he admired, initially, it had only been Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, who had made the great vow, "I vow not to achieve Buddhahood until the hells are emptied."

Now, it seemed that Xuanzang, who was on his Journey to the West for Scriptures, also had something special about him?

Of course, a first impression doesn't say much, and to know for sure, one would need further interactions.

"Master, who is this guy, should we take action?" Sun Wukong, from the friends list, spoke up to Jiang Liu.

"His Cultivation Level is even higher than Tathagata Buddha by half a step; if you wish to take action, I won't stop you!"

"Uh, forget I said anything..."
