Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything-Chapter 1030: The Flustered Sun Wukong

Only, the questions that needed asking have mostly been clarified, yet Jiang Liu did not seem eager to leave the Flame Cloud Sage Cave, instead quietly observing Fuxi in front of him.

Jiang Liu didn’t leave, seemingly having something more to say, and Fuxi could roughly guess his thoughts, so he spoke, "The matter of re-establishing the Human Emperor is too significant. As you said, no matter what method we think of, there’s no foolproof plan, so we should take one step at a time, and therefore, everything can wait until you retrieve the Kongdong Seal."

"Alright! Understood! I’ll take my leave for now, and if there’s a chance in the future, I’ll come to disturb Your Majesty again!"

With Fuxi’s words, Jiang Liu nodded to Fuxi, said his farewells, and then turned to leave.

"Hmm, go on, I also hope you will come to trouble me a few more times in the future!" In response to Jiang Liu’s parting words, Fuxi slightly raised the corners of his mouth, still appearing like a kind elder, and spoke to Jiang Liu.

Fuxi’s words made Jiang Liu involuntarily chuckle softly.

Fuxi said everything could wait until he found the Kongdong Seal, obviously implying that if he comes to disturb next time, it would mean he has successfully acquired the Kongdong Seal?

Moreover, taking one step at a time?

Coming to trouble him a few more times, would that mean each small goal has been achieved?

Jiang Liu left the Flame Cloud Sage Cave. For Jiang Liu, this visit to the Flame Cloud Sage served its purpose successfully.

The next thing naturally to do is to visit the Great Nirvana Temple.

Fahai’s soul must be brought back, and most importantly, why is a Daluo Golden Immortal expert like the Giant Scorpion so interested in Fahai’s soul?

Jiang Liu was very curious about it.

...

Inside the Flame Cloud Sage Cave, watching Jiang Liu’s departing figure, Fuxi still maintained a gentle look, calmly, without saying a word, seemingly pondering something.

At this moment, suddenly, a haze of luminescent light appeared in the Flame Cloud Sage Cave.

Soon after, an elder with completely white hair and beard appeared out of the void.

The Heavenly Emperor Suiren was the first Human Emperor of the Human Clan, existing since the ancient times when the Human Clan was first born.

He taught the Human Clan to find caves and even to build houses to avoid fierce beasts, instructed the Human Clan to use animal hides to make clothing to withstand the cold, and taught them to make bone spears and stone tools for hunting...

All of it was taught by the Heavenly Emperor Suiren, which barely allowed the inherently weak Human Clan to stand its ground in the incredibly perilous Primordial world.

"Why have you woken up too?" Seeing Suiren appear, Fuxi asked.

As peers of the Three Sovereigns, their status held no difference, and moreover, having stayed in the Flame Cloud Sage Cave for so many years, they were as familiar as could be with each other.

Therefore, there was no excessive politeness between Fuxi and Suiren, and their conversation seemed very casual.

"Heartfelt sensations have awakened me!" Suiren replied to Fuxi’s question.

"How long have you been awake?" Upon hearing this, Fuxi asked again.

"For some time now, I awakened when Xuanzang mentioned re-establishing the Human Emperor!" Suiren continued to answer.

With these words, he paused slightly, and without waiting for Fuxi to speak further, Suiren continued, "In the past, after the catastrophe of deification, the Human Emperor was abolished, and you said it was only temporary. The Human Clan, as the protagonists of heaven and earth, could not forever remain subordinate to Haotian. In the future, the Human Emperor would be re-established. Were you referring to the present time?"

"It should be!" Hearing Suiren’s words, Fuxi nodded.

Back then, his calculations only foresaw that the Human Emperor would be reinstated after being abolished.

But as to when and by whom this would happen, Fuxi’s Innate Divination could not deduce the specific details.

"Hmm, it should indeed be this time!" Although Fuxi found it likely to be this time, Suiren seemed more firmly convinced.

Looking at Suiren with some surprise, Fuxi, though not voicing a question, clearly wore an expression questioning why Suiren was so confident.

"Back in the day, you couldn’t deduce more precise matters with your Innate Divination. At that time, we found this thing peculiar. Now it seems, exactly because Jiang Liu is now amidst the Immeasurable Kalpa, perhaps that’s why you couldn’t calculate anything back then?" Suiren spoke, revealing his own thoughts.

"Indeed so! That makes sense!" After listening to Suiren’s analysis, Fuxi thought for a while, his eyes shining a bit, and nodded in agreement.

Back then, he only calculated the matter of re-establishing the Human Emperor, but he could not deduce more specific information, which he found odd at the time.

Looking back now, if this was something falling on Jiang Liu’s shoulders, with him being in the center of the Immeasurable Kalpa now, failing to deduce more information would perfectly explain it, wouldn’t it?

...

On the other side, after Jiang Liu left the Flame Cloud Sage Cave, he sent a message to Sun Wukong.

"Wukong, I, your master, am going to the Demon Realm. You all continue to wait at the Taoist temple!"

"Master, isn’t it too dangerous for you to go to the Demon Realm alone? Let me, Old Sun, accompany you." Sun Wukong quickly sent a message back, clearly worried about Jiang Liu’s safety.

"If there’s an opponent that even I, your master, can’t handle, do you think you could handle them if you came along?" Jiang Liu replied with another message to Sun Wukong.

"Master, are you underestimating the strength of I, Old Sun?"

Though the message only contained words, without seeing Sun Wukong’s expression or hearing his tone, Jiang Liu could still guess that Sun Wukong must be bristling right now.

"The Emperor of Longevity and the Emperor Qinghua both died by my hand. Can you do that?"

"Even the Empress almost died at my hands. Do you think you can do that?"

"Even the Maitreya Buddha was assassinated by me. Can you do that?"

On his way to the Demon Realm, Jiang Liu sent three messages in a row to Sun Wukong, which could be described as a soul interrogation.

These words left Sun Wukong speechless.

Sun Wukong, who used to be lawless and rebellious, has walked the Journey to the West for so long and reached the Great Luo Golden Immortal Middle Stage, becoming more confident than ever in his strength.

However, even with all his confidence, Sun Wukong has confidence that he could fight against Emperor Qinghua and the Emperor of Longevity.

But for those at the Quasi-Saint level, the hope of defeating them with his current strength is very slim.

Sun Wukong used to be fearless of the unknown, but after following Jiang Liu on the Journey to the West for Scriptures for so long, his understanding has improved a lot, at least knowing what a Quasi-Saint is!

"Master, I, Old Sun, still miss the time you first rescued me from under the Five-Finger Mountain. Back then, your words were so nice, now you’ve completely become sharp-tongued..."

After a long silence, Sun Wukong sent a message to Jiang Liu, obviously complaining about Jiang Liu burning bridges.

In the past, when you needed me, Old Sun, for protection, your words were really sweet. Now that you’re grown and don’t need my protection, you’re burning bridges?

Looking at this complaint from Sun Wukong, Jiang Liu recalled the past with a knowing smile.

Back then, it was indeed quite a pleasant time playing with the monkey.

"So, do you have a clearer self-awareness now? Aware that I, your master, am dragging you guys down?" Jiang Liu sent another message to Sun Wukong.

"Waaah, I, Old Sun, can’t take this anymore. I’m not listening to you. I, Old Sun am going to find Bajie to spar and improve my combat skills!"

Sun Wukong sent a few expressions showing his tangled mood.

After leaving such a sentence to Jiang Liu, he didn’t send any more messages, obviously off to find Zhu Bajie to spar with.

Seeing this message from Sun Wukong, Jiang Liu smiled knowingly, silently mourning for Zhu Bajie, then closed the chat window between him and Sun Wukong.

Arriving at the northern Julu Continent, Jiang Liu found a crack leading to the Demon Realm and entered directly.

The sky in the Demon Realm still felt gloomy, and entering here, Jiang Liu felt quite uncomfortable.

After briefly discerning the direction, Jiang Liu set off directly towards the direction of the Great Nirvana Temple.

His purpose for this trip is to retrieve the soul of Fahai and naturally, he needs to visit the Great Nirvana Temple.

Of course, if he can avoid a confrontation, Jiang Liu would prefer not to fight with the people of the Great Nirvana Temple.

However, even though he had some rapport with Wutian Buddha, just like with Ksitigarbha, such rapport cannot be made public.

Moreover, the key point is if Fahai is important, this rapport with Wutian Buddha may not be enough for them to hand over Fahai’s soul. freeweɓnovel-cøm

Therefore, the priority is to find Fahai’s soul first and hopefully manage to take it away secretly.

Of course, if possible, understanding why the people at the Great Nirvana Temple care so much about Fahai would be ideal.

Jiang Liu is not unfamiliar with the Demon Realm, and similarly, he is not unfamiliar with the Great Nirvana Temple.

You should know that back then when Jiang Liu was cloaked in a Shadow Robe, he hid at the Great Nirvana Temple for a while, even being favored by Black Robe, mistakenly thought to be imitating his style as a fan.

Therefore, after arriving at the Great Nirvana Temple, it didn’t take much effort for Jiang Liu to sneak in.
