Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything-Chapter 519: Becoming Immortal

```

The Heavenly Thunder Tribulation outside, if Ancestor Huangmei were to throw me out, I wouldn't need to worry about my safety with the Merit Golden Lotus protecting me.

At that time, cooperating with Sun Wukong, we would certainly be able to capture Ancestor Huangmei!

But if Ancestor Huangmei doesn't throw me out, then when the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation falls, he will be the one suffering greatly.

After all, the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation meant for me is far more ferocious than for ordinary people, as nearly all of my Cultivation Level has been gained through slaughter!

Having long known when my breakthrough would happen, I had also prepared the following plans, so at this moment, Jiang Liu had no intention of paying any more attention to Ancestor Huangmei.

Ever since I gained the ability to level up by defeating enemies, each increase in level never really felt like much.

However, this level-up was completely different.

Jiang Liu could feel that after reaching level 61, every pore on his body seemed to be cheering.

An invisible force was cleansing every corner of his body, making it stronger and more resilient.

Evolution!

Feeling the earth-shattering changes in his body, the word 'evolution' reflexively popped into Jiang Liu's mind.

According to the concepts of the Journey to the West Mythical World, this was shedding the mortal coil to achieve an Immortal Body.

But Jiang Liu understood that, according to the terms of his previous modern life, this was simply evolution.

Character Panel!

Simultaneously, Jiang Liu also opened his character panel.

There was no change in the levels and Experience Points bar, but Jiang Liu could see that the data for his strength, constitution, Health Point Value, and Mana Value were all rising.

"Have I become immortal?! It's been almost three years since I arrived in the Journey to the West World, have I become immortal?!"

Narrowing his eyes slightly, Jiang Liu carefully felt the changes in his body and was secretly delighted.

If one were to look at it from a gaming perspective, leveling up to 61 in three years would seem extremely slow.

But from the perspective of the Journey to the West Mythical World, cultivating alone without a master's guidance and going from an ordinary mortal to becoming immortal in just three short years, such a cultivation speed is absolutely terrifying.

"Becoming immortal, huh! The rate at which Master grows is truly frightening. Without realizing it, he has already reached such a level..."

Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing, who were also protecting Jiang Liu, watching him shed his mortal body to become immortal, were full of endless emotion.

They remembered when they first met their master, his Cultivation Level wasn't high but knew that along the way, the master never slacked off in cultivation, especially his method of cultivation through slaying - it was even more astonishing that he thought of entering the Map of Mountains and Rivers to increase his Cultivation Level through killing.

While they did know the master's Cultivation Level was improving.

However, compared to his diverse and magical methods, the Cultivation Level seemed to be the least noteworthy aspect.

Only today, when their master had truly become immortal did they wake up to the realization.

To be able to become immortal in such a short time, if said out loud, it would be shocking!

Although Jiang Liu's Cultivation Level as a newly become immortal was still not much to speak of.

But whether one has become immortal is a different concept altogether.

In a certain sense, he had completely stepped onto a brand-new level.

Jiang Liu also knew that for a Mythical Plane, becoming immortal was merely a new starting point.

However, for Jiang Liu, this was already a very memorable level of achievement.

As the levels increased, the Experience Points needed for leveling up would become more and more significant, something Jiang Liu was very clear about.

With max level at 100, although he had now reached level 61, it seemed like he had crossed a large part when looked at from a level perspective.

But in the future, levels would undeniably become increasingly difficult and perhaps, truly becoming immortal was just the end of the beginner's phase?

For example, looking at the current situation of the character panel, leveling up to 62 requires a full 450 million Experience Points.

If this was placed in the early stages, it would have been enough for me to jump many levels in an instant.

...

Speaking of Jiang Liu inside the Human Seed Bag, who is shedding his mortal coil and achieving an Immortal Body, at this time, within the Lesser Thunder Monastery.

Heavenly Thunders roared incessantly towards Ancestor Huangmei, the sound of the strikes causing countless Little Demons in the Lesser Thunder Monastery to panic and flee.

Demons and Ghosts are inherently terrified of lightning and thunder, and this Heavenly Thunder Tribulation heightened their fear. If they were careless and got touched even slightly, they would be reduced to ashes.

Thus, these Little Demons naturally fled in panic, the farther the better.

And taking advantage of the chaos? Little White Dragon and Kang Jinlong entered the Lesser Thunder Monastery.

"Are you sure, I can save Great Sage Sun?!"

Kang Jinlong followed Aolie cautiously into the Lesser Thunder Monastery. However, looking at the various Buddha, Bodhisattva, and even Arhat statues inside the monastery, his face was colored with anxiety as he asked Aolie.

A few days ago, Aolie found Kuimu Wolf, saying that trouble had befallen them on the Journey to the West and that only Kang Jinlong was capable of saving Sun Wukong.

After the incident in the Treasure Elephant Country, Kuimu Wolf was indebted to the Journey to the West Team – his wife and child were helped by Jiang Liu, hidden from the world for their safety.

```

Of course, as the leader of the Twenty-Eight Constellations, Kuimu Wolf spoke first, and Kang Jinlong followed Little White Dragon Aolie to help in the Lower Realm.

However, upon arriving at Lesser Thunder Monastery, Kang Jinlong felt rather anxious upon sighting the figures of various Buddha Bodhisattvas in the temple.

He could certainly tell that the people of Lesser Thunder Monastery were definitely a demon with the ability to reach the heavens and earth; otherwise, how could they dare to display so many Buddha and Bodhisattva idols?

Furthermore, being able to bring disaster upon the Journey to the West Team only further proved the demon's formidable nature!

Facing such an opponent, even Great Sage Equalling Heaven and Marshal Tianpeng themselves were no match, yet he was asked to come alone to help?

Despite really wanting to help, Kang Jinlong doubted his own ability so much.

Could it be? Was he unaware of his own formidable nature!?

"Don't worry, if we asked you to help, we certainly have confidence, and we wouldn't joke with our own lives and fortunes, would we?"

Hearing Kang Jinlong's words, Little White Dragon, although also feeling that he alone probably wouldn't make much of a difference, still whispered reassurances.

There was no choice, the master had specified by name that only he could rescue the eldest apprentice brother.

Not believing in Kang Jinlong, could he actually not trust his own master?

"That's also true, in that case, I'll risk my life to save him!"

Kang Jinlong nodded, realizing Little White Dragon's words made sense. Clenching his teeth, they were all in this together now, and there was nothing much to be afraid of.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Little White Dragon and Kang Jinlong quietly searched within Lesser Thunder Monastery and quickly found the cymbals trapping Sun Wukong.

The two cymbals joined together, looked somewhat like a flying saucer.

"Eldest apprentice brother, are you there? I've followed master's orders, and brought Kang Jinlong!" Little White Dragon knocked on the cymbals and said.

"Xiaobai, you're finally here, hurry up! I, Old Sun, have been locked up here for so long, I'm almost going crazy!" Soon, Sun Wukong's voice came from within the cymbals, filled with urgency.

Though trapped, Sun Wukong could chat with Jiang Liu on the friends page to kill time whenever he was bored.

But for a monkey who loved to be active, being stuck inside for so long was indeed more unbearable than death, and Sun Wukong had long been impatient.

"Alright, I'm sorry to trouble you!" Getting Sun Wukong's response, Little White Dragon turned around and said to Kang Jinlong.

"Great Sage, I'm coming to rescue you!" At this moment, Kang Jinlong was also emotional.

See, even Great Sage Sun Wukong was trapped and needed his rescue. If he really could save him, then he would have gained much respect.

Perhaps the Great Sage, and even the entire Journey to the West Team, would owe him a favor?

Kang Jinlong took a deep breath, and all his strength converged, gathering on the unbreakable dragon horn on his head.

The Qi of Geng Metal, unbreakable!

The dragon horn gathered endless strength and became extremely sharp.

Kang Jinlong thrust fiercely at the seam where the cymbals met.

"One, two, three, push, heave-ho, heave-ho, heave-ho!"

Pushing hard into the seam, Kang Jinlong felt it was very tight and difficult to penetrate.

But, he secretly encouraged himself and even quietly chanted some slogans.

"It really works, it's going in, it's about to go in..."

Xiaobai, watching Kang Jinlong's efforts, was surprised to see that the dragon horn was truly penetrating into the cymbal.

Indeed, the master was as wise as ever. His words were never wrong—Kang Jinlong really could rescue the eldest apprentice brother!

Similarly, feeling his dragon horn penetrating, Kang Jinlong grew more excited, seeing the hope of rescuing Great Sage Sun, and exerted even more effort.

After struggling for the time it takes to brew a pot of tea, Kang Jinlong's dragon horn finally penetrated completely.

Only, it was impossible to pry the cymbals apart.

"Kang Jinlong, brace yourself for the pain. I, Old Sun, will drill a small hole in your dragon horn and sneak in as a mosquito!" Seeing half of the dragon horn coming in, Sun Wukong knocked on the unbreakable dragon horn and said.

"Great Sage, come on!"

For the sake of rescue, a small hole in the dragon horn was something Kang Jinlong could endure. He replied promptly.

As he was speaking, he also dispersed the Qi of Geng Metal gathered on his dragon horn.

Sun Wukong took out Jingu Bang, blew on it, and it turned into a small drill, quickly drilling a hole on Kang Jinlong's dragon horn.

Then, Sun Wukong chuckled, transforming into a mosquito, and landed in the small hole of the dragon horn.

Kang Jinlong forcefully pulled his dragon horn out from the cymbals!

"Hehehe, I, Old Sun, am finally out!" A mosquito transformed back into the shape of Sun Wukong.

After being trapped for a month, Sun Wukong couldn't help but somersault several times, joyfully speaking.

"Congratulations to the Great Sage on your escape!" Kang Jinlong, too, was very happy and congratulated him.
