Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything

Originally, because the Journey to the West Pilgrimage Team had become powerful recently, and due to their ruthless methods, Maitreya Buddha completely gave up on using force when creating tribulations for the team.

Previously, the Tathagata personally visited and discussed the matter, sharing the same thoughts.

But now, in Maitreya Buddha's view, since Xuanzang took in a White Mouse Demon as a maiden by his side, wasn't this just giving himself a breakthrough?

Such an opportunity, naturally, Maitreya Buddha would not waste.

After pondering for a moment, Maitreya Buddha quickly came up with an idea.

Dealing with Xuanzang and his group was immensely difficult, but handling a small White Mouse Demon was much easier.

No need for his subordinates to act personally, to avoid a killing calamity; just secretly inciting a few other demons to act would suffice.

Soon, under the covert instigation of Maitreya Buddha, a rumor appeared on their Journey to the West for Scriptures.

On Xuanzang's journey to the west, he happened upon a miraculous White Mouse Demon.

This White Mouse Demon possessed traits nearly akin to Xuanzang's; eating a piece of her flesh could extend one's life by sixty years!

It was also because of this White Mouse Demon's peculiarity that Xuanzang took her as his maiden!

Under Maitreya Buddha's fanning flames, this rumor quickly spread.

A piece of Xuanzang's flesh could grant immortality.

Unfortunately, due to the Journey to the West Team's fearsome reputation recently, no imprudent demon dared to make a move on them now.

However, a new maiden under Xuanzang, with not particularly high Cultivation Level, only at the initial entry to the Taiyi Realm.

To many elderly demons, this naturally presented an irresistible temptation.

If they didn't make a move, they would die of old age in a few years; if they did, there might be a sliver of hope.

These demons naturally knew which choice to make.

Despite the Journey to the West Pilgrimage Team's continued fearsome presence, it's only a maiden, not considered a core member of the team, right?

...

On that day, Jiang Liu and his companions were traveling, unfurled the Map of Mountains and Rivers, and directly went into the Map of Mountains and Rivers for a dungeon raid.

Although they didn't completely trust the White Mouse Demon, it was impossible not to raid dungeons just because they were bringing her along, right?

So, Jiang Liu showed an appearance of trusting the White Mouse Demon, and in front of her, he, along with Sun Wukong and others, jumped into the Map of Mountains and Rivers.

Of course, the trust in the White Mouse Demon was merely superficial; in reality, during her few days with the Journey to the West Pilgrimage Team, she was unaware of the presence of the Good Corpse and the Evil Corpse.

Therefore, when raiding dungeons, Jiang Liu secretly released both the Good Corpse and the Evil Corpse to monitor the White Mouse Demon's actions in the dark.

If the White Mouse Demon were truly a spy lurking by their side, upon seeing this and attempting to inform others or make other unusual moves, the Good Corpse and the Evil Corpse would show no mercy.

After all, there were no penalties for failing the task of accepting the White Mouse Demon as a maiden, so Jiang Liu had nothing to fear.

However, under the watchful eyes of the Good Corpse and the Evil Corpse, although the White Mouse Demon was surprised by Jiang Liu and his party jumping into the Map of Mountains and Rivers, she did not make any unusual moves or try to inform anyone; instead, she sat quietly watching everything within the map.

It was evident she was observing the world within the map, watching Jiang Liu and his companions level up by defeating monsters.

It indeed had a television-like feeling, and the White Mouse Demon seemed quite interested.

But just as the White Mouse Demon was curiously watching Jiang Liu and his group in the Spirit Mountain dungeon within the Map of Mountains and Rivers, she suddenly saw strange lights emanating from a distant mountain peak, as if an Exotic Treasure had appeared.

Upon seeing such light, the White Mouse Demon's heart was slightly moved.

After confirming that there shouldn't be any danger by looking at the Map of Mountains and Rivers, the White Mouse Demon approached the mountain peak where the light was emerging.

"I'll guard here; you should go check it out too!" Seeing the strange treasure light blossoming from a distant mountain peak, the Evil Corpse thought for a moment and said to the Good Corpse.

"No, you go ahead, I'll stay here!" But after thinking about it, the Good Corpse felt that its output was higher and was more suitable for protecting the Map of Mountains and Rivers.

While the Evil Corpse had more control-type peculiar skills, making it more suited for one-on-one battles.

Understanding the Good Corpse's thoughts, the Evil Corpse didn't say much, nodded, and followed after the White Mouse Demon.

For one, the Evil Corpse was also curious about what treasure the light in the mountain really was.

Secondly, the Evil Corpse was also monitoring the White Mouse Demon, fearing she might interact with others and reveal the secrets of the Journey to the West Pilgrimage Team.

...

The White Mouse Demon followed the treasure light ahead and, before long, reached within a mountain valley.

Tracing the treasure light, the White Mouse Demon quickly found the location from where it was emanating.

It was in a secluded area of the valley, where a half-exposed white object lay on the ground.

The mystical light was emanating from this half-exposed white object.

"This seems to be a Dharma Treasure condensed from bone?" After carefully identifying it, the White Mouse Demon said in surprise.

Looking around again, there was still no one else nearby, it seemed I was the first one attracted by this treasure light.

With a mindset of striking first, the White Mouse Demon naturally didn't have the thought of waiting for others to come and contend with her.

With a swift movement, she directly pounced towards that half-buried bone-like object.

Grabbing the exposed half of the bone-like object, White Mouse Demon pulled it out.

It turned out to be a long bone blade, with eerie white bones appearance, looking strange and terrifying.

However, looking at the bone blade in her hand, White Mouse Demon was secretly delighted.

This seemed to be quite a precious treasure.

Buzz!

Just as White Mouse Demon's attention was on the white bone blade in her hand, examining it closely, suddenly a purple-red glow appeared on the ground.

Whoosh!

Almost simultaneously, these purple-red lights transformed into several chains, like spirit snakes, wrapping around White Mouse Demon's body, rendering her immobile.

"Oh no, it's a trap!" Wrapped by these purple-red chains, White Mouse Demon was greatly alarmed.

"Hehehe, succeeded!" Just at that moment, several demons emerged from the shadows.

With green faces and sharp teeth, the few demons appeared menacing and treacherous at a glance.

Seeing White Mouse Demon bound by chains, smiles of delight appeared on each of their faces.

"Who are you people? What do you intend to do!?" Struggling fiercely, White Mouse Demon couldn't break free from the chains.

"Don't worry, we don't intend to do much, just want to eat a few pieces of your flesh!"

The leading demon licked his lips, saliva dripping down from the corner.

"Eat a few pieces of my flesh? Why!? Did you set this trap specifically to capture me? I have no enmity with you, why do you want to eat me!?" Hearing the demon's words, White Mouse Demon turned pale with fright, struggling even more violently.

"Hehehe, at this point, you're still pretending to know nothing?" Seeing White Mouse Demon struggle violently, the leading demon had a strange smile on his face.

"Pretend? What on earth are you talking about?" White Mouse Demon looked bewildered, completely not understanding what the demons were referring to.

"Very strange indeed!"

Hiding in the shadows, the Evil Corpse initially thought of partially monitoring White Mouse Demon and, seeing this, didn't rush to act, but muttering to himself in curiosity.

Was this trap set specifically to capture White Mouse Demon? Just to eat her?

Was there something special about White Mouse Demon that even she herself didn't know?

Feeling some curiosity mixed with doubt, the Evil Corpse restrained himself and continued watching from the shadows.

Seeing that the demons were no weaklings in cultivation, reaching the Taiyi Late Stage, with the leader even at Taiyi Peak.

His own cultivation was merely at the Taiyi Middle Stage, alone and to fight against these opponents was a bit taxing.

"Hmph, it's rumored that your flesh has special effects, can prolong life; as long as someone eats a piece of your flesh, they can extend their life by a cycle of sixty years."

"Because of this unique trait, Master Xuanzang took you as a maiden, and you're still pretending even at this moment?"

Seeing White Mouse Demon unaware, the leading demon sneered coldly.

"Huh? Eating a piece of my flesh can extend life by a cycle of sixty years? Where on earth did you hear such an absurd claim?"

"My flesh doesn't have such effects, Master Xuanzang took me as a maiden not for this reason!"

"Only Master Xuanzang's flesh has the effect of prolonging life, eating a piece of his flesh grants eternal life!"

There was no such thing, naturally, White Mouse Demon desperately explained.

"Whether true or not, you are now in our hands, how can we release you based on your bare words?"

"Someone, cut a piece of her flesh and see if it indeed has life-prolonging benefits!"

The demon naturally wouldn't easily believe White Mouse Demon's words, he waved and commanded.

"Hehehe, let me do it!" A demon beside, with a look of eagerness on his face, lunged towards White Mouse Demon.

Simultaneously gesturing with a knife in his hand, he was about to cut White Mouse Demon.

The Evil Corpse, seeing this, could no longer hold back, was about to jump out to save her.

Bam!

Just at that moment, white smoke suddenly exploded from White Mouse Demon's body.

As the white smoke dissipated, White Mouse Demon had disappeared without a trace, leaving only an embroidered shoe on the ground...
