Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything

In a grand and elegant palace, Vidyaraja Kongxuan sat quietly in his place.

Although he held a transcendent status as a Vidyaraja of the Buddhist Sect, Kongxuan was not accustomed to being attended to by others. Therefore, he usually preferred to be alone.

Sitting on his throne, Kongxuan held a thin booklet in his hand.

This booklet recorded everything about Xuanzang and various matters concerning the Journey to the West for Scriptures.

Since Kongxuan had taken up the mantle of the new coordinator for the Journey to the West for Scriptures, it was only natural to act with careful planning and have a profound understanding of the people in the Journey to the West Pilgrimage Team.

First, there was Xuanzang, who was a reincarnation of Master Golden Cicada, the second disciple of the Tathagata. He was a righteous man through ten lifetimes of cultivation, and it was rumored that consuming a piece of his flesh could grant immortality.

Originally, to make the journey easier, there was no one to teach Xuanzang the path of cultivation, yet he embarked on the path of cultivation by himself.

So be it, which cultivator does not take thousands or even tens of thousands of years to achieve success?

Therefore, the Buddhist Sect did not stop him.

Who would have thought? In just a few years, he astonishingly reached the Great Luo Realm, leaving everyone in awe.

As a man of destiny, Xuanzang not only progressed rapidly in his cultivation but also comprehended the Laws Divine Powers that only a Quasi-Saint could comprehend. He could refine healing divine medicine that instantly healed injuries, and most importantly, he also comprehended the supernatural power of reversing life and death…

Of course, aside from these important matters, Xuanzang's life experiences were also meticulously recorded.

For instance, his emotional entanglement with Princess Gaoyang, having a daughter with the King of Women's Kingdom, and the numerous temples built along the way to honor Xuanzang…

"Child of destiny, indeed…"

All matters concerning Xuanzang were documented in great detail. After reading through every word for some time, Kongxuan put down the booklet, secretly sighing in his heart.

Yet, even as Kongxuan sighed, his eyebrows carried a more puzzled expression.

Indeed, to outsiders, Xuanzang's extraordinary feats could be explained by his current status as the man of destiny for the Journey to the West, favored by the Heavenly Dao.

However, the Immeasurable Kalpa had occurred several times, and no one had ever been favored to such an extent by the Heavenly Dao!

In a few years, to rise from an ordinary person to the ranks of Great Luo? And to grow without any pause?

In just a few years, how did he come by treasures like the Golden Flood Dragon Scissors, Cash-Dropping Coin, and Skill Badge?

In a few years, he learned how to refine healing divine medicine? Even supernatural powers like the Soul-Returning Spell that reverse life and death?

Is it merely because he is the man of destiny for the Journey to the West? Kongxuan felt something was quite inexplicable.

"In terms of origin, Xuanzang does indeed seem reassuring, but as of today, looking at it closely, Xuanzang seems to have quite a few secrets!" At the last mention, Kongxuan's eyes narrowed slightly.

Of course, what kind of secrets Xuanzang might hold cannot be deduced from simply looking at a small booklet.

So, after pondering for a moment, Kongxuan picked up another booklet.

He read all matters concerning Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, Sha Wujing, and even Little White Dragon carefully.

As the saying goes, know your enemy and yourself, and you can fight a hundred battles without danger. As the coordinator for the Journey to the West for Scriptures, it was necessary for Kongxuan to deeply and clearly understand the members of the Journey to the West Pilgrimage Team.

Thus, for several days, Kongxuan made no moves, only quietly studying Xuanzang and his companions.

The more he studied, the more shocked he became, and the more certain he grew of his suspicions.

There was indeed an enormous secret about Xuanzang!

It wasn't just Xuanzang himself; even all the Journey to the West Team members experienced significant cultivation improvements after starting the journey.

Looking carefully at the improvement in strength, Kongxuan could clearly see that among the Journey to the West Team, the one with the greatest development in cultivation was surprisingly the most inconspicuous mount, the White Dragon Horse?

"Third Crown Prince of the Western Sea Dragon Palace?" With everything about the White Dragon Horse in hand, a thoughtful look appeared between Kongxuan's brows.

Then, in a flash, he left his palace.

If one desires to excel in his endeavors, he must first sharpen his tools. If action is required, then from Kongxuan's perspective, the secrets of the Journey to the West Pilgrimage Team, or more precisely, those of Xuanzang, must be unraveled.

Kongxuan contemplated and concluded that the breakthrough lay with the White Dragon Horse.

After leaving his palace, Kongxuan naturally soon found the whereabouts of the Journey to the West Pilgrimage Team. Then, taking advantage of the team's rest at night, Kongxuan revealed the Five-Colored Divine Light behind him.

The Little White Dragon resting in the Exquisite Immortal Mansion was whisked away without resistance, and no one was alerted.

The might of the Five-Colored Divine Light, claimed to be the premier power among Quasi-Saints, could not be more evident...

The world spun, and everything was muddled as if one had taken a long slumber. When Little White Dragon Aolie awoke from this haze, he looked around, slightly stunned.

Had he suddenly come to the Jing River?

"Do you recognize where this is?" Meanwhile, a voice sounded beside him, attracting Aolie's attention.

Kongxuan's form floated quietly nearby, without exhibiting any overpowering aura, yet his regal demeanor made one feel a sense of self-consciousness.

"This is extraordinary!" Looking at Kongxuan, Little White Dragon was secretly taken aback. Before speaking, Kongxuan's eyes shone brightly as he stared at Little White Dragon and voiced his thoughts.

"Vidyaraja abducted me here today; for what reason?" Little White Dragon's face changed upon seeing Kongxuan, and then he bowed his head, asking.

Previously, when Vidyaraja battled Manjushri Bodhisattva and Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, Jiang Liu's Green Lotus Buddha Robe was swept away by Kongxuan's Five-Colored Divine Light. As Jiang Liu's mount, Little White Dragon naturally recognized Kongxuan and understood his status.

Yet, he did not expect that while he was resting peacefully in the Exquisite Immortal Mansion, this influential figure would appear?

"Part of the Ancient Candle Dragon's Dragon Ball is within you, the Dragon Clan's blood has been refined, and your body even holds the fused blood of Ancestral Witch Zhurong? Fascinating, a mix of Dragon Clan and Witch Clan blood, and your cultivation is but a step away from entering the Great Luo Realm..."

Kongxuan did not respond to Little White Dragon Aolie's query but looked at him as if seeing a delightful treasure, speaking to Little White Dragon Aolie.

Upon finishing, Kongxuan wasted no words, raising his hand and pointing at Little White Dragon: "Today, I shall bestow upon you fortune, receive it!"

Golden power surged from Kongxuan's fingertip, directly entered Little White Dragon's body.

With the golden glow entering him, Little White Dragon felt the blood within him begin to stir.

Simultaneously, Little White Dragon opened his mouth and expelled a fragmented Dragon Ball. Naturally, this was the Dragon Ball of the Ancient Candle Dragon.

Only, the Dragon Ball hovered in front of Little White Dragon, swirling with ethereal light, slowly restoring its damage.

At last, the Dragon Ball completed its repair, appearing smooth and luminous, unlike its former shattered state.

"Roar..." Once the Dragon Ball was repaired, Little White Dragon opened his mouth, swallowed the Dragon Ball, revealing his true form, and emitted a resounding dragon's roar.

Immediately, he soared into the sky. With the Dragon Ball fully restored, Little White Dragon distinctly felt his cultivation rise substantially, breaking through into the Daluo Golden Immortal realm.

"Thank you, Vidyaraja, for your help!" After a while, Little White Dragon fully grasped his newfound power, reverting to his Taoist Body, and expressed his gratitude to Kongxuan.

"For me, it was merely a small effort!" Kongxuan's face appeared slightly pale, as if he had lost some vitality, yet he seemed pleased with Little White Dragon's present state, smiling he said.

"Your Dragon Ball is now completely restored, the Witch Clan blood perfectly fusing with the Dragon Clan blood, and your cultivation has surpassed the Great Luo Realm!" Kongxuan's gaze, full of admiration, fixed on Little White Dragon as he nodded slightly.

Pausing briefly, Kongxuan continued: "Given your current situation, once the Journey to the West pilgrimage ends, bestowing upon you a Buddha's position is unquestionable!"

"Vidyaraja, disciple is not particularly concerned with the Buddha position, merely wishing to contribute to the success of the Journey to the West." With his head lowered slightly, not intending for Kongxuan to see his face fully, Little White Dragon replied.

Being granted Buddhahood? Had this been proposed at the beginning of the Journey to the West, Little White Dragon certainly would have rejoiced.

But now? This proposition stirred little emotion in Little White Dragon's heart.

"I understand..." Though Kongxuan did not seem surprised by Little White Dragon's response, expressing a knowing and understanding look, he nodded slightly and spoke: "Your Journey to the West's purpose is not for titles but perhaps something else?"

Kongxuan's words left Little White Dragon startled.

Could it be? Vidyaraja Kongxuan knew the real purpose of the Journey to the West was to challenge the celestial and Buddhist powers?

Yet, seeing Little White Dragon's shock, Kongxuan simply smiled, appearing confident and said: "Your true motive is to vindicate the Dragon King of Jing River, is it not?"
