Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything

Divine Level Treasure Chest, this was Jiang Liu's first time obtaining such a treasure chest. As the name implies, opening a Divine Level Treasure Chest naturally meant guaranteed Divine Level equipment or items.

What could these so-called Divine Skill items and equipment be like?

Even though it wasn't his first time opening a chest, it was his first time opening a Divine Level chest.

Jiang Liu took a deep breath. In the silent room, it seemed like he could clearly hear the beating of his own heart. Then, he placed his palm on this colorful chest and slowly lifted the lid.

Divine level equipment or items? What could they be?

Pangu Banner? Tai Chi Diagram? Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation? Eastern Emperor Bell?

"Uh, what is this crap!?"

With anticipation in his heart, Jiang Liu completely opened the Divine Level Treasure Chest, but his expectant expression froze because the item in the chest was not equipment, but a potion that looked golden and seemed bright enough to blind a dog.

But since it was a potion, that meant it was a consumable, right? Once it's used, wouldn't it be gone?

Feeling immensely disappointed, Jiang Liu helplessly shook his head and took the potion out of the chest. As his gaze fell on the potion, the corresponding attribute information immediately appeared in front of Jiang Liu.

Blindingly Brilliant Enhancement Divine Medicine (consumable): After consumption, reduces mana cost of all skills by 100%, reduces cooldown time of all skills and equipment special effects by 90%, increases movement speed by 60%, increases attack speed by 100%, increases tenacity and control reduction by 25%, critical hits cause 25% additional damage, boosts Dragon Clan resistance by 35%, duration 1-7200 seconds.

"Holy, holy crap...?"

Seeing the effects of this so-called divine medicine, Jiang Liu was dumbstruck, staring at the string of attributes in utter bewilderment.

Well, this divine medicine truly lived up to its name, capable of blinding those who indulged in pay-to-win.

Reduce the mana cost of all skills by 100%? Doesn't that mean skills can be cast freely without any consumption?

A 90% reduction in cooldown time for all skills, even equipment special effects?

Isn't that the crux of the matter?

Thinking about his own Silencing Zen, with a cooldown time of 30 seconds, what would 10% cooldown time mean? A Silencing Zen every 3 seconds?

Pulling up his skill list, looking at his skills, and then thinking about the consequences of reducing their cooldown times by 90%?

Silencing Zen every 3 seconds.

Vajra Mantra Skill at Great Perfection, used once, followed by four times with 80% damage immunity, usable every 5 seconds?

What about the Guanyin Mantra? Once every 60 seconds, Hand of Healing? Every 120 seconds, Sheep Transformation Technique every 30 seconds?

And then, Flashing Brilliance Shoes' instantaneous movement ability, 30 seconds each time!?

Palm Thunder's attack effect, every 6 seconds?

And all these other effects like increased attack speed, increased movement speed, increased tenacity and control reduction, critical damage boost, Dragon Clan resistance, a whole mess of effects.

As for 1-7200 seconds, obviously, how long it lasts will depend on how much he drinks.

If he drinks it all at once, that would mean a duration of 2 hours.

"This potion, it really is divine medicine! With this potion, in team battles, Strengthening Demon-Subduing Mantra every 6 seconds, Strengthening Body-Protection Spell every 6 seconds, along with healing and control measures, isn't it unbeatably supportive?"

Initially, seeing that the chest only contained a potion, Jiang Liu was indeed very disappointed, but having seen the blinding pay-to-win attributes of this real potion, he was secretly amazed.

All in all, a whole mess of enhancements, but in the end, Jiang Liu only thought one thing, if this was really a game, when he consumes this potion, his joy would be complete.

Skills not consuming mana at all, and cooldowns reduced to just 10%.

...

Leaving aside Jiang Liu's thoughts after opening a Divine Level Treasure Chest, on the other side, after leaving the Great Thunder Monastery, Bodhisattva Guanyin did not return to her home at South Sea Mount Luojia but went directly to Chang'an City.

Sha Wujing was taken away by people from the Demon Realm, and this matter could not be delayed. The quicker they acted, the better, as the longer it dragged on, the harder it would be to rescue him.

Thus, after pondering for a moment, Bodhisattva Guanyin quickly formed a very meticulous plan and stealthily arrived in Chang'an City, and even more so, appeared above the Great Buddha Temple.

The Great Buddha Temple, being the foremost temple within the boundaries of Great Tang, houses the statue of Tathagata and is situated within Chang'an City.

Beneath this Great Buddha Temple, a Demon Cave was further suppressed.

Karalla...

However, just in the middle of the night, when all was silent, suddenly, the Demon-Suppressing Hall that suppressed the Demon Cave began to show cracks, and then, the entire hall started to collapse.

Thump thump thump!

With the anomaly at the Demon-Suppressing Hall, soon, the Great Buddha Temple sounded a hurried and dull bell.

The bell's sound, in the silent night, carried far and wide.

At the Imperial Palace, Emperor of Tang, Li Shimin, heard the urgent bell ringing deep in the night, and immediately dressed and rushed out, looking in the direction of the Great Buddha Temple, his face heavy with concern.

A moment later, the bell finally ceased, and Li Shimin urgently asked an attendant beside him, "How many times did it ring? How many times did that bell just ring!?"

"Your Majesty! Nine times! The bell rang nine times!" the attendant replied upon hearing Li Shimin's words.

"Nine times? Nine is a sacred number in Buddhism, signaling the highest alert. Quickly, notify the Heavenly Master Hall, all members to deploy and support the Great Buddha Temple!" Hearing it was nine bell rings, Li Shimin hurriedly ordered.

What could possibly have happened at the Great Buddha Temple to make it ring the bell nine times for an alarm and call for help?

In his heart, Li Shimin could somewhat guess what it might be.

Heavenly Dragon Zen Sound!

The Heavenly Dragon Zen Sound emanated from the mouth of Saint Monk Longhai, spreading a powerful force. The Demon-Suppressing Hall collapsed, and demon creatures from the underground demon cave surged out incessantly, like a tide.

Yet, under the suppression of the Heavenly Dragon Zen Sound, they exploded and died one after another continuously.

It wasn't long before the people from the Heavenly Master Hall also hurriedly arrived.

However, the demon creatures were fierce, unafraid of death. Their frantic attacks made it difficult for even the combined forces of the Great Buddha Temple and the Heavenly Master Hall to suppress them for a while.

"Support for a moment! I am now going to request the aid of the Buddha for subduing demons and eliminating evil!"

Seeing that they were almost unable to hold on, and if these demon creatures were to break out, all of Chang'an City would be in dire straits, Saint Monk Longhai shouted loudly.

As he spoke, he quickly ran into the main hall, knelt in front of the Tathagata Statue, and began praying for the assistance of the Tathagata.

"Amitabha, subduing demons and eliminating evil isn't merely about slaying; this demon cave naturally formed years ago, harboring a group of demon creatures causing mischief. Although distant from the Demon Realm and unable to return, they too are pitiful beings. Heaven cherishes all life; even demon creatures can be converted! For this matter, you may seek Xuanzang's aid to resolve this!"

In his semi-conscious state, the voice of the Tathagata arose, showing no intention of destroying these demon creatures; rather, the Tathagata intended to convert them.

"At a time like this, still convert them!?" Upon regaining consciousness and receiving the Tathagata's directions, Longhai frowned deeply.

More importantly, the Buddha actually asked him to find Xuanzang?

Xuanzang had been on his Journey to the West for a year now, with no one knowing where he had gone. Where was he supposed to look for him?

Moreover, when Xuanzang left Chang'an City a year ago, his cultivation level was merely in the Body Refining Realm. Having faced hardships living outdoors for a year, he probably didn't have much time to cultivate, perhaps not even reaching the Meridian Unblocking Realm.

Even if he were found, what effect could he possibly have?

However, although he was puzzled in his heart, as the abbot of the Great Buddha Temple and a faithful follower of the Tathagata, Saint Monk Longhai naturally trusted the Tathagata's words unconditionally.

Thus, he still pondered how to look for Xuanzang.

Thinking it over, Longhai's eyes brightened, and he left the Great Buddha Temple in a hurry to go to the Local Deity Temple, where he requested the presence of the Local Deity, explaining the urgent matter.

Upon learning of what Saint Monk Longhai sought, the Local Deity nodded and burrowed into the earth, vanishing.

Deep within the Great Snow Mountain, in the Exquisite Immortal Mansion, Jiang Liu was putting away a bottle of divine medicine, ready to continue his cultivation when suddenly, a series of urgent knocks sounded at the door.

"Eh? Who is knocking at the door in the middle of the night?" hearing the knocking sound, especially in the Great Snow Mountain, Jiang Liu was secretly surprised.

However, he also got up and walked outside.

"Greetings, Holy Monk! I am the Local Deity of this area!"

It turned out the urgent knocking at the door was from the Local Deity, who openly stated his identity.

"Amitabha, greetings, Local Deity. How may I assist you?" Jiang Liu greeted him with a polite and humble salute and asked.

"The Local Deity of Chang'an City released a message seeking the whereabouts of the Holy Monk, asking me to convey a word to the Holy Monk, saying that the Demon-Suppressing Hall at the Great Buddha Temple has collapsed, and demons are causing chaos. Therefore, Saint Monk Longhai requests the Holy Monk's return to assist, otherwise, the Demon Clan will wreak havoc, and all of Chang'an City will fall into misery!"

"Return to Chang'an?" Upon hearing what the Local Deity said, Jiang Liu's expression showed a slight shock.

He hadn't expected that the Local Deity's urgent knocking at night was for this matter.

However, though initially startled, Jiang Liu quickly rejoiced.

He had been gone for over a year, traveling only this ten-thousand-mile journey. Going back now, wouldn't that mean returning to the starting point?

"This is a bit difficult; ten thousand miles away, if I go back now, won't all the travel of this past year have been in vain!?" Although his heart was nearly bursting with joy, Jiang Liu still appeared troubled by the thought.

Yet, no sooner had he spoken than Jiang Liu declared righteously,

"For the citizens of Chang'an City, for all under heaven, even if it means wasting more than a year, I will spare no effort!"

"Wukong, Bajie, Xiaobai, rise and shine, we must depart immediately! We're going back to Chang'an!"
