Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything-Chapter 1046: Kunpeng Feeling a Bit Overwhelmed
After saying a word to Sun Wukong and the others, Jiang Liu didn’t intend to stay any longer. His figure moved, and he left, turning towards the direction of the Ming Sect.
Flying in mid-air, Jiang Liu also pondered to himself.
Each Quasi-Saint, in order to search for the traces of the mysterious figure in black, went to the Ming Sect to inquire with Gaoyang. How should he handle this?
None of these Quasi-Saints are easy to deal with, and moreover, some among them are indeed difficult to handle in terms of worldly matters.
For instance, Master Zhenyuan, and also Ancestor Minghe, etc...
After pondering for a while, Jiang Liu couldn’t think of a better way to handle it. Nevertheless, thinking about it at this moment was useless, as dealing with even one Quasi-Saint was not easy, let alone so many coming together? How could he prepare in advance on how to deal with them?
However, precisely because these Quasi-Saints have all arrived together, Gaoyang must find it difficult to deal with them, and he absolutely couldn’t just stand by and watch.
Therefore, even if it’s challenging to handle, he must go together, then face it all together.
Is the Hongmeng Purple Qi important? The Hongmeng Purple Qi, known as the Foundation of Great Dao, is naturally incredibly important, even said to be indispensable for achieving Saintliness.
But even if the Hongmeng Purple Qi is crucial, it only works for Quasi-Saints. If one hasn’t reached the Quasi-Saint level, holding the Hongmeng Purple Qi in hand presumably offers no possibility of Successful Saintly Cultivation.
Therefore, although he knows the clues of the mysterious figure in black, and knows he should be able to learn of the mysterious figure’s whereabouts from Gaoyang.
But, as long as the other Quasi-Saints don’t make a move, others can all remain calm.
Therefore, in recent days, although everyone is secretly searching for the whereabouts of the mysterious figure, as long as no one goes to find Gaoyang, everyone is on the same starting line, there’s nothing to worry about.
The contention for the Hongmeng Purple Qi is like a race, not seeking to run too fast oneself, just not being overtaken by others takes away the fear.
However, just when everyone couldn’t find any trace of that mysterious figure in black, Demon Master Kunpeng was the first to lose patience, taking action, arriving at the Ming Sect to find Gaoyang.
Therefore, once the other Quasi-Saints noticed, naturally, it was hard to accept, a small move affects the whole body.
As Demon Master Kunpeng arrived at the Ming Sect, Master Wuchao, Ancestor Minghe, Master Zhenyuan, and even Randeng Buddha appeared one after another, no one could sit still any longer.
"As expected, it’s the Hongmeng Purple Qi, these big names, can’t sit still one by one!" At the Ming Sect, seeing even Randeng Buddha had come, Gaoyang naturally welcomed Randeng Buddha into the Ming Sect, then secretly sighed.
At first, although there was some unpleasantness with Randeng Buddha, at this moment, neither Randeng Buddha nor Gaoyang mentioned this matter with great tacit understanding.
It seems both parties have forgotten this matter.
"Amitabha, I was no match for that mysterious person in the battle back then. Recently, I seem to have gained something, so this humble monk wishes to spar with that mysterious person again, and hopes Princess Gaoyang can inform me!"
This is the excuse Randeng Buddha used, having been defeated by the mysterious person before, so he wants to spar again.
"Everyone, I already know the purpose of your visit!" Gaoyang, looking quite fondly, held Xueyu in her arms, while also glancing at the several Quasi-Saints present before speaking.
She ignored Randeng Buddha’s excuse, apparently, by this point, there’s no need to find other reasons. She is well aware of their purpose.
"Amitabha..." Princess Gaoyang’s frank words made Randeng Buddha quietly chant a Buddhist name, without any intention of further speaking.
Since Princess Gaoyang had already revealed everyone’s excuse, there was no point in pretending anymore.
Soon, Randeng Buddha’s gaze fell back on Gaoyang, saying, "So be it. May I ask, what is the identity of that mysterious person? Where is he now? Please, Princess Gaoyang, inform us!"
With Randeng Buddha’s words, the other Quasi-Saints present also seriously stared at Gaoyang.
Evidently, they all came for the mysterious person, so no one should consider themselves noble. Since Randeng Buddha asked the question for everyone, there’s no need for more words, just staring at Princess Gaoyang, hoping to get the whereabouts of the mysterious person from her mouth.
Everyone here wants to know, believing that Princess Gaoyang understands, this secret he surely can’t keep.
Kunpeng, Master Wuchao, Ancestor Minghe, Master Zhenyuan, and Randeng Buddha, all five Quasi-Saints had their eyes on Gaoyang.
Although none of the five Quasi-Saints spoke, the focus of their gaze on Gaoyang was like a thousand-pound burden pressing down.
Such pressure made Gaoyang feel somewhat difficult to bear.
The power of Quasi-Saints, even their gaze seemed substantial, startling Gaoyang inwardly.
"Amitabha, what is going on with the Ming Sect today? This humble monk has arrived, why is it so quiet?"
Just as Gaoyang was under the pressure of several Quasi-Saints and didn’t know how to handle the situation, suddenly, a Buddha’s name was chanted, and then Jiang Liu’s clear voice rang out, gradually approaching.
Obviously, even though there was no one from the Ming Sect to receive him, Jiang Liu didn’t feel like an outsider at all and walked in directly.
"Master Xuanzang..." As Jiang Liu walked in, Fahai and a few others in the Ming Sect greeted him.
Clearly, Fahai, the Black Bear Demon, Red Boy, and others had some connections with Jiang Liu. This was no secret across the Three Realms and Six Paths. Their greeting was reasonable.
"Everyone, it’s been a while..." Hearing Fahai and the others greeting him, Jiang Liu responded with humility and courtesy, and nodded to greet them back.
Then, Jiang Liu’s gaze fell upon Randeng Buddha. He quickened his steps and came before Randeng Buddha, performing a respectful bow and said, "Disciple Xuanzang greets Randeng Buddha!"
"Hmm, Xuanzang, there’s no need for such formalities!" Randeng Buddha felt quite pleased with Jiang Liu’s proactive greeting, and he nodded slightly in response.
At the same time, he displayed a kind expression, helping Jiang Liu to stand, casting a glance at everyone present, and finally resting his gaze upon Gaoyang.
He had inquired Gaoyang about the whereabouts of that mysterious person, but she seemed reluctant to reveal anything. However, what if he let Xuanzang ask her?
After all, everyone in the Three Realms knew about the relationship between Gaoyang and Xuanzang.
"Brother, it’s been some time since we last met. Next time we meet, we must have a few rounds together!" After greeting Randeng Buddha, Jiang Liu then turned to Master Zhenyuan, greeting him proactively.
"Indeed, indeed, it’s rare to meet, we should really have a few rounds, but unfortunately, there’s no time today!" Listening to Jiang Liu, Master Zhenyuan nodded slightly as he replied.
"Ancestor Minghe, it’s been some time since we last met!" Finally, Jiang Liu’s gaze fell upon Ancestor Minghe, and he said.
Although he had visited the Netherworld Blood Sea several times recently, he never got to meet Ancestor Minghe, who was always represented by Tian Boxun and others, who seemed eager for him to leave immediately.
The most cowardly in the Three Realms, indeed, lived up to the reputation. If not for the Hongmeng Purple Qi, Jiang Liu thought Ancestor Minghe might have turned away without even a greeting the moment they met.
"Yes, indeed, it’s been some time," Ancestor Minghe replied with a smile, seemingly afraid of not responding enthusiastically enough to invoke Jiang Liu’s resentment.
"Zen Master, we too haven’t seen each other for quite some time..." Subsequently, Jiang Liu nodded to Master Wuchao, acknowledging his greeting.
"Yes, it’s been a while, and Master Xuanzang, your Cultivation Level has improved rapidly!" Master Wuchao nodded in return, responding to Jiang Liu.
Randeng, Master Zhenyuan, Minghe, and Master Wuchao, these Quasi-Saints, greeted Jiang Liu one after another, depending on the closeness of their relationships.
Finally, Demon Master Kunpeng stared wide-eyed at Jiang Liu.
If we talked about it, there was some grudge between him and the team from the Journey to the West concerning the previous Flame Mountain incident. Since Jiang Liu greeted several Quasi-Saints, he should greet him too, right?
However, Jiang Liu completely ignored Kunpeng’s expectant gaze, behaving as if he hadn’t seen him at all.
Finally, Jiang Liu’s gaze fell upon Gaoyang, "It’s been a long time since we last met!"
"Yes, it has been a while!" Holding Xueyu in her arms, Gaoyang cooperatively nodded to Jiang Liu.
Kunpeng: "..."
Watching Jiang Liu completely ignore Kunpeng, the other Quasi-Saints couldn’t help but glance at Kunpeng’s face, finding the situation amusing.
As for Kunpeng, his expression was certainly unpleasant.
Even though the Demon Clan has declined, he’s still a powerhouse at the Quasi-Saint Peak, isn’t he?
To be completely ignored by Xuanzang like this?
At least, when the Ming Sect was founded, he personally went to congratulate them, didn’t he? 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺
Well, the Ming Sect and Xuanzang had no direct relation, so the previous connections were between him and the Ming Sect, having nothing to do with Xuanzang at all.
