Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything-Chapter 321: Heavenly Dragon Zen Sound Great Achievement
Guild Creation Token, to create a guild or not? Of course, this was necessary.
But, should it be established now?
Jiang Liu hesitated for a moment, feeling that there was no rush for the time being.
Although he, too, wanted to establish his own force as soon as possible, to be prepared for the blood battle at Spirit Mountain, the journey of a hundred and eight thousand miles had only just begun, and he had barely traveled over ten thousand miles; there was still time, no need to be too eager.
So, after pondering for a short while, Jiang Liu decided to think it over for a few more days before making a decision.
With a thought, Jiang Liu closed the social interface and, focusing his mind, continued to cultivate the Heavenly Dragon Zen Sound technique.
Tip: Gained 10 Experience Points.
Tip: Gained 10 Experience Points.
Tip: Gained 11 Experience Points.
…
With the level reaching 51, naturally, Jiang Liu had invested two Skill Points, elevating the Heavenly Dragon Zen Sound to the sixth and final level.
Originally, he gained 6 Experience Points every ten seconds, but with the bodily enhancement from the Ginseng Fruit, coupled with the recent daily consumption of Jadescent Nectar, the 6 points had turned into 10 points, and occasionally even an increase of 11 points would pop up.
Having elevated the Heavenly Dragon Zen Sound to its maximum level, the cultivation went even faster.
However, realizing this was the highest level of the technique, Jiang Liu couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.
Did this mean that the Experience Points he gained from cultivating the Heavenly Dragon Zen Sound wouldn’t see any more improvement?
But, with the level increase, the Experience Points required became ever greater, and his growth rate through cultivation would slow down over time, wouldn’t it?
"Indeed, the Heavenly Dragon Zen Sound is, after all, just a Divine Skill of the Great Buddha Temple. Even though it’s considered top-notch in the Mortal World, to the future me, it seems rather mediocre. I should find another Cultivation Method soon. Fortunately, I have been saving a Reset Scroll and haven’t used it yet!"
Thinking to himself that he had already maxed out Heavenly Dragon Zen Sound, Jiang Liu made a mental note of this matter.
A night passed without words, and as dawn broke the next day, Jiang Liu and the others gradually woke up.
Yet, just as Jiang Liu had finished washing up, he noticed a figure busily at work.
Looking intently, who else could it be but Sha Wujing?
Carrying a large bucket, Sha Wujing held a rag in his hands, meticulously wiping each piece of furniture in the Exquisite Immortal Mansion.
Seeing Jiang Liu come out, Sha Wujing turned his head and said, "Master, you’re up? The house is dirty everywhere; I’m wiping everything down!"
"Hmm, Wujing, with you not around, no one would take care of these things at home!" Watching Sha Wujing voluntarily taking on the household chores, Jiang Liu felt an unexpected warmth and nodded with a slight smile.
"Master, are you preparing breakfast? Do you need help?" Sha Wujing, seeing Jiang Liu’s actions, knew what should be done at this time and asked.
"No need, just a simple and light breakfast in the morning is fine. I can manage on my own, you go ahead with your work!" Jiang Liu said, waving his hand dismissively.
Just as he was about to turn around and prepare breakfast, a sudden thought struck Jiang Liu, and he turned around, saying, "Right, Wujing, I haven’t seen you use the Demon-Subduing Treasure Staff these days, where is your Demon-Subduing Treasure Staff?"
"That... when we were at the Blood Knife Cave, Demon Venerable Yu Hua said he wanted to help upgrade my Demon-Subduing Treasure Staff, so he took it to be reforged. Then, after we destroyed the whole Blood Knife Cave, my Demon-Subduing Treasure Staff ended up missing!" Hearing Jiang Liu’s inquiry, Sha Wujing responded with an embarrassed look.

"It’s gone? Well, I happen to have a weapon on me, which I’ll give you. It should be quite suitable for you!" Hearing Sha Wujing’s response, Jiang Liu nodded and said.
As he spoke, Jiang Liu lifted his hand and, from his carry-on space, took out a demon blade as dark as ink.
Having taken out the demon blade, Jiang Liu inspected it and the corresponding attributes appeared before his eyes; in his gaze, there was a sense of reluctance as he sighed to himself.
Blood-Transforming Divine Blade (Epic Level): Requires level 70, Attack +2400000, Special Effect: For Demon Clan use, increases attack by 50%, Durability 320/500.
Looking at the attributes of the Blood-Transforming Divine Blade, Jiang Liu inwardly sighed with resignation.
An additional 2.4 million in Attack was not mediocre, far exceeding Sun Wukong’s Jingu Bang—the Golden Hoop, which only provided a mere 280,000 in Attack.
But the 50% Special Effect for use by the Demon Clan seemed to indicate that this Demon Blade was most suited for Sha Wujing.
After undergoing Demon Transformation, Sha Wujing’s level had risen to 71, stepping into the Taiyi Realm, making this weapon a rare treasure for him.
"This, this isn’t..." Seeing the Blood-Transforming Divine Blade that Jiang Liu had taken out, Sha Wujing was stunned. He naturally recognized the treasure that was the Blood-Transforming Divine Blade.
"Yes, when Yu Hua died, this Blood-Transforming Divine Blade became masterless, so naturally I didn’t hesitate to take it. Now, it seems most suitable for you, take it!"
Although parting with equipment with 2.4 million attack power made Jiang Liu’s heart ache, he really had no idea when he would be able to successfully use level 70 equipment. Considering this, he might as well give it to Sha Wujing.
Now, since everyone was on the same side, enhancing Sha Wujing’s strength meant also enhancing his own overall strength, didn’t it?
"Thank you, Master! Thank you, Master!" Fully aware of the treasure’s preciousness, Sha Wujing did not say much upon hearing Jiang Liu’s words and nodded heavily before putting away the Blood-Transforming Divine Blade.
Having become famous during the Deification War, Sha Wujing was very clear that with this treasure, his overall strength would greatly increase.
Though catching up to his two senior brothers was impossible, reducing the gap between them was definitely within reach.
"All right, go on with your tasks!" After handing the Blood-Transforming Divine Blade to Sha Wujing, Jiang Liu waved his hand and went about his own business.
This morning, Jiang Liu indeed hadn’t spent much thought on preparing breakfast, so he simply cooked some vegetables and green onions and cut some meat into shreds to make a pot of vegetable, meat, and green onion noodles.
Nevertheless, the fragrance of the noodles mixed with that of the meat quickly roused Zhu Bajie from his lazy sleep.
Though by nature sluggish, Zhu Bajie could become quite diligent when there was good food to be had.
After the master and disciples finished breakfast, Sha Wujing conveniently washed the dishes, and then they closed up the Exquisite Immortal Mansion and continued on their way, resuming their westward journey.
...
Leaving aside the westward road and the events occurring with Jiang Liu’s group, at this moment, within the Great Thunder Monastery of the Western Heaven, the Tathagata Buddha sat quietly on his Lotus Platform, with Bodhisattva Guanyin slightly bowing her head before him.
"Indeed, only Buddha’s wisdom is unparalleled. After Xuanzang entered the Demon Realm, as expected, he persuaded Wujing to return, and even killed his way through various challenges, spreading the name of our Buddhist Sect!" Bodhisattva Guanyin said with an admiring look on her face, complimenting the Tathagata.
"Amitabha, all things simply comply with the Heavenly Dao," the Tathagata Buddha said with a calm expression, responding to Guanyin’s praise with composed words.
"Actually, this time it was my fault. I didn’t expect Wujing to suddenly resist so strongly. Although he has resumed the westward Journey to the West, he has now become a demon. The presence of a demon within our Journey to the West team might become a stain..." After complimenting the Tathagata, Guanyin immediately continued with an apology.
"It doesn’t matter, as long as one sincerely turns towards goodness, demons, just like monsters, can be converted!" The Tathagata Buddha answered with a still serene expression.
Guanyin paused at these words, then understanding dawned, and she nodded to herself in agreement.
Certainly, having someone turn into a demon within the Journey to the West team could indeed tarnish the Buddhist Sect’s reputation.
But from another perspective, if even a demon could be converted, wouldn’t that show the profundity of the Buddhist teachings even more?
Everything is relative after all!
"Amitabha, I understand, thank you for the guidance, Buddha!" Suddenly enlightened, Bodhisattva Guanyin softly chanted a Buddhist mantra.
...
Within the Demon Realm, inside an immensely majestic hall, dozens of members of the Demon Clan stood on both sides of the hall, each with a commanding presence, clearly having extraordinary cultivation.
At that moment, suddenly, the leading throne twisted through space, and a robust figure appeared out of thin air upon it.
After taking his seat, he glanced at the members of the Demon Clan below and said, "Yu Hua, that fool, sought his own demise, daring to covet the merit of the Journey to the West. His death was well deserved!"

The man sitting on the throne spoke calmly, but the many demons below all bowed their heads, not daring to even breathe too loudly.
A lowly monk, relying on two treasures, had caused a ruckus in the Demon Realm, which indeed was a great loss of face for the Demon Clan.
But in the great calamity of the world, one misstep could lead to obliteration, and Yu Hua was a perfect example of this. Therefore, nobody dared to intervene recklessly.
If anything, the embarrassment of the Demon Clan was all caused by Yu Hua’s own actions.
"From this day on, whenever the Journey to the West Team appears, my Demon Clan shall avoid them. Of course, if anyone decides to act against this advice, I certainly will not stop them! However, should any danger arise, do not blame my Demon Clan for standing by and doing nothing!"
...
In another place, within the dark and mysterious void, a man dressed in a black Taoist robe slowly opened his eyes, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly.
"Heavenly Dragon Zen Sound? You’ve reached the top already, haven’t you? Good, good, it seems I need to send him a cultivation technique that can directly point to the Great Dao. Cough, cough..."
