Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything

Demon Realm, Great Nirvana Temple.

Within the Demon Realm, the rule of might makes right reaches its peak, and the Great Nirvana Temple is undoubtedly one of the strongest places in the Demon Realm.

Initially, when Wutian first arrived in the Demon Realm, he claimed to be Buddha, which naturally provoked resentment from many powerful figures in the Demon Realm.

Buddhist Sect members? Naturally, they need a good education.

Towards the Buddhist Sect and the Heavenly Court, the Demon Clan in the Demon Realm is instinctively repulsed.

In the Demon Realm, there are naturally strong individuals everywhere; otherwise, it would have long been leveled by the Heavenly Court and Buddhist Sect.

In this Demon Realm, there are several Quasi-Saint level strong individuals, most of whom are powerful figures defeated after the Primordial battles, or part of their bloodline chose to retreat and hide within the Demon Realm.

There are rumors that during the Divine Demon Catastrophe, although Demon Ancestor Luohou was defeated, the powerful figures of the Demon Ancestor collected Luohou's body and retreated within the Demon Realm, using supreme magic to resurrect his body.

Though it cannot compare with the heyday of Luohou, it is still the body of the Demon Ancestor, and its cultivation level remains within the Quasi-Saint realm.

There are also rumors that the ancient Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin clans, although they perished during the Dragon and Phoenix catastrophe, some of the strong individuals from these clans survived to this day, hiding within the Demon Realm.

Years have passed, and they have already reached the Quasi-Saint realm.

There are even rumors that during the Demon Tribulation of the Witches, although the Witch and Demon clans perished, within the Witch Clan, besides the Ancestral Witch Hou Tu reincarnating, barely leaving a trace, the most mysterious Time Ancestral Witch Zhu Jiuyin among the twelve Ancestral Witches also survived, hiding in the Demon Realm.

As the saying goes, the Grand Dao fifty, Heaven manifests forty-nine.

Whether it's the Divine Demon Catastrophe, Dragon and Phoenix Catastrophe, or the Demon Tribulation of the Witches, the Heavenly Dao never completely destroyed them.

Hence, Luohou's body, Dragon Clan, Phoenix Clan, Qilin Clan, and along with Time Ancestral Witch Zhu Jiuyin...

In the three Immeasurable Kalpas, there are Quasi-Saint level survivors hiding in the Demon Realm.

Known are at least these few Quasi-Saints.

Many years ago, when Wutian first arrived in the Demon Realm, an Ancient Demon God made a move against Wutian, simply because he was displeased by Wutian's self-proclaimed title of "Buddha," ordering him to change it.

To the Ancient Demon God, Wutian's presence was naturally just a junior.

Wutian did not comply, and a great battle broke out between both sides. After three days of battle, Wutian, with the posture of a newcomer to the Demon Realm, slew the Quasi-Saint level Ancient Demon God, shocking the entire Demon Realm, establishing Wutian Buddha's name.

Since then, Wutian established the Great Nirvana Temple, attracting countless strong individuals within the Demon Realm to gather and respond.

To this day, the Great Nirvana Temple has become one of the most powerful sacred sites in the Demon Realm...

Lately, the Great Nirvana Temple has been much calmer than usual, and within the temple, there are very few people venturing outside.

The fundamental reason lies in Wutian Buddha closing himself off to cultivate, striving to elevate his cultivation level further to reach the Quasi-Saint Peak realm.

On this day, Guanyin quietly sat in the Great Nirvana Temple, holding a scripture in her hand.

Within the scripture, there are profound principles of the Grand Dao.

However, if it falls into the hands of a Buddhist Disciple, it would surely be deemed as a heretical object.

After holding the Buddhist Scriptures and viewing them for quite some time, Guanyin put the scriptures down, feeling somewhat restless.

"What's happening to me?" Guanyin felt unsettled, muttering quietly to herself, surprised.

If it were an ordinary person, feeling restless, unable to figure out the reason, they might not bother to delve further.

However, as a Great Luo Golden Immortal Late Stage existence, Guanyin was very clear that if she felt restless, there must be a reason.

Thinking back and forth, Guanyin felt that perhaps the issue with her emotions fell on that Zhu Bajie's shoulders?

"Is it Zhu Bajie?" Guanyin muttered quietly after pondering for a moment.

Previously, Xuanzang declared a grand vow to eliminate the countless demons and monsters escaping from Eastern Temple, using a small trick to make Zhu Bajie unable to extricate himself from a tender trap.

Until today, she wondered how the results were?

Could it be? He has already successfully escaped from that tempting trap?

She hadn't paid attention to Zhu Bajie's situation for some time now, so it was perhaps time to check on him?

Thinking of this, Guanyin felt uneasy!

Immediately getting up, she left the Great Nirvana Temple and headed toward the Mortal World.

As one of the most capable strong individuals under Wutian Buddha's seat, Guanyin naturally enters and exits freely within the Great Nirvana Temple.

Arriving in the Human Realm, Guanyin searched around slightly, and soon found the whereabouts of the Journey to the West Pilgrimage Team.

With her form concealed in the shadows, Guanyin observed for a while and discovered that Zhu Bajie had indeed freed himself from the enchanting situation and was following Xuanzang on their journey for scriptures.

Moreover, surprisingly, there was an additional female demon in Xuanzang's team?

"How odd, what is this female demon's identity?" After discovering the White Mouse Demon's identity, Guanyin was very puzzled.

Having once been a coordinator for the Journey to the West, Guanyin knew very well that the heavens predestined Xuanzang and his four companions as people of destiny. Why now is there an additional female demon?

Not predestined by the heavens as people of destiny, why would she follow along on the journey for scriptures?

Hidden in the shadows and watching for a few more days, Guanyin finally understood.

The female demon was merely a maiden recently taken in by Xuanzang.

Just a mere maiden seemed insignificant, but Guanyin could see that all along the journey, Zhu Bajie was following her around like a love-struck puppy.

However, the female demon had her heart set on Xuanzang.

"Old habits die hard!" Watching this, Guanyin shook her head in amusement.

Even though Zhu Bajie had escaped the clutches of romance and rejoined the Journey to the West, it appeared his fondness for women had not changed.

"In that case, I'll give you another push!" After pondering for a moment, Guanyin's eyes narrowed slightly, and a red string appeared in her hand.

Before falling into demon possession, Guanyin, as the coordinator of the westward journey, had obtained several red threads from the Matchmaker God, intending to set a love tribulation for the scripture-seeking team of four.

He used one between Jiang Liu and Gaoyang.

Another was used between Zhu Bajie and Zhuzhu.

And yet another between Sha Wujing and Amei.

Originally, Guanyin intended to use one between Sun Wukong and Zixia, but later found it unnecessary.

Because it was destined by heaven that Sun Wukong and Zixia were meant to be, there was no need to bind them with a red string.

So this last red string, intended for Sun Wukong, was spared.

Now, Guanyin felt it was time to use the second string on Zhu Bajie.

The maiden fancied Xuanzang. What if she tied the red string between her and Zhu Bajie? Would it cause conflict between the master and disciple?

Even if it couldn't make them enemies, it would surely sow discord between them, right?

As for Zhu Bajie, as long as it could cause him trouble, Guanyin was more than willing.

With that thought, Guanyin, hidden in the shadows, awaited her chance.

Waiting for three days, Guanyin finally got the opportunity.

That evening, the White Mouse Demon insisted on taking some of Jiang Liu's clothes to wash.

Though the Great Mercy Buddha's Robe doesn't require washing, Jiang Liu couldn't possibly be wearing nothing underneath, could he?

So, the inner garments still needed washing.

For the White Mouse Demon, cooking and washing for Master Xuanzang were the greatest joys.

Holding clothes and socks, she went to a small river near the Exquisite Immortal Mansion to do laundry.

Before long, Zhu Bajie also came to the riverbank.

"The night is long and sleepless; why are you still washing clothes so late, Sister White Mouse?"

In the cold weather, Zhu Bajie, with some flower behind his ear, approached the White Mouse Demon.

"Senior Brother Bajie, these close-fitting clothes of the Holy Monk need washing, and I'm free now, so I came!" the White Mouse Demon replied with a nod.

"You're truly a virtuous wife! I like you the most!" Zhu Bajie said with a smile to the White Mouse Demon.

"Thank you, Senior Brother!" The White Mouse Demon showed no reaction, politely thanking him.

"Sister, you've been with us for a few days now. Do you have no idea how much I care for you? While our master is determined to seek the Buddhist scriptures, I'm determined to wed you..."

Zhu Bajie continued, bombarding the White Mouse Demon with cheesy pickup lines.

"Such nauseating words, again and again, are those all you have?" Hidden in the shadows, Guanyin sneered at Zhu Bajie's attempts, finding them rather ridiculous.

Throughout the journey, Guanyin had caused many troubles for Zhu Bajie in secret, and the constant cheesy lines had worn thin on her patience.

Especially during the trial of the Four Holy Monks' hearts, when Guanyin transformed into Ai'ai and was bombarded by Zhu Bajie's advances.

Though secretly complaining, Guanyin remembered her purpose for coming here.

With only the two of them here, wasn't it the perfect opportunity to bind them with the red string?

With a thought, a strand of red string appeared in Guanyin's hand.

Under Guanyin's control, the barely noticeable red string moved towards Zhu Bajie and the White Mouse Demon.

One end was directly tied to the White Mouse Demon.

The White Mouse Demon, seemingly unaware, continued washing clothes.

The other end headed towards Zhu Bajie.

With Guanyin watching intently, the red string touched Zhu Bajie's body!

However, Zhu Bajie, who had been bombarding with cheesy lines, suddenly changed his expression.

Zhu Bajie grabbed the other end of the red string and shouted, "Who's there!?"
