Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons

Although the price was negligible to him, since he had paid it, these two became his property.

Though they were now a servant and a mount, their strength could not be underestimated.

Taking them out would also make quite an impressive display!

Thus, he spared no effort in repeatedly explaining the relevant knowledge to them.

Not only that, he gave each of them a secret manual!

First Ni Tian Er Xing, then Black Dragon.

Under Taiqing’s careful guidance, they had gradually adapted to this world.

Although they still felt somewhat out of place, they were no longer as lost as before, which was a comforting sight.

Seeing this, Taiqing finally let out a sigh of relief.

He had always worried that these two would fail to adapt to their surroundings and cause unnecessary trouble.

While he was not afraid of trouble, if they kept creating problems, he would have to clean up after them in the end, undoubtedly costing him even more time.

What he lacked most right now was time.

In the previous world, he had wasted more than a month for nothing.

If not for the considerable gains this time, he would have long since gone to the Myriad Worlds Heavenly Diagram to choose another world. Why would he spend his energy here teaching Ni Tian Er Xing and Black Dragon?

As his strength and cultivation realm further improved, Taiqing’s life was fairly comfortable.

However, he could not neglect the Myriad Worlds Heavenly Diagram either.

Even if life was peaceful, his enemies were still watching him like hawks.

Until he completely dealt with them, he could only remain busy.

After all, the Primordial Chaos Dao Venerable would not stop swallowing All Heavens and Myriad Worlds. His ambition knew no bounds.

Since devouring All Heavens and Myriad Worlds could make him stronger, he naturally would not miss such an opportunity. Even if it meant facing countless experts from All Heavens and Myriad Worlds, he feared nothing.

It had to be said that experts who reached the Great Dao Realm truly could do anything.

At that level, in a sense, they already possessed the ability to do whatever they pleased.

Because of this, quite a few worlds in All Heavens and Myriad Worlds had suffered disaster, but there was nothing to be done.

Who could do anything against a Great Dao Realm expert?

Even the strongest experts in many of those worlds could be dealt with by nothing more than a casual slap.

Although some worlds in All Heavens and Myriad Worlds did indeed have Great Dao Realm experts, both Taiqing and the Primordial Chaos Dao Venerable avoided such worlds.

Therefore, the worlds the Primordial Chaos Dao Venerable devoured were basically weaker than the world he currently occupied.

Most of the enemies he faced were several levels, several major realms, beneath him. Thus, he encountered no obstacles along the way, and no one could stand against him!

Faced with such a reckless opponent, Taiqing could only speed up his selection of worlds.

For him, only by allowing the Primordial World to merge with more worlds could he make himself stronger.

Once his cultivation reached Mythological Great Luo, neither the Primordial Chaos Dao Venerable nor Hongjun would amount to anything. They would be nothing more than ants he could crush with a wave of his hand!

"Hm? This world has great potential!" Taiqing looked at the countless worlds in the Myriad Worlds Heavenly Diagram, a smile appearing at the corner of his lips.

He had actually discovered another brand-new world that interested him!

"This is the one!" Taiqing gazed at the vast, boundless world before him, delight filling his heart. He then split off an incarnation and sent it inside.

At the same time.

Primordial Chaos Divine Realm.

That was right, the former ruined Primordial Chaos Realm had become the Primordial Chaos Divine Realm once more!

Clearly, through the efforts of the new Five Primordial Chaos Ancestors and the Primordial Chaos Dao Venerable, the Primordial Chaos Divine Realm had finally returned to its former state.

Even the Primordial Chaos Dao Venerable’s injuries had recovered by seventy or eighty percent. Yet even under such circumstances, he still did not take action against Taiqing.

The Primordial Chaos Dao Venerable knew full well that Taiqing’s strength had grown increasingly formidable. After the Primordial World merged with multiple worlds, he had become far stronger than before.

Under such circumstances, if he acted rashly, he might not be able to retreat unscathed.

In pursuit of greater power, he decided to continue devouring All Heavens and Myriad Worlds.

This time, he had chosen an excellent target, and this world seemed to be connected to the new Five Primordial Chaos Ancestors.

"This world possesses extraordinary potential. Devouring its Dao can heal my injuries, and my strength will increase greatly.

"More importantly, this world is connected to you. If you delve deeply into it, you will surely gain much from it."

"However, this world is of the Taiyi level, and its cultivation system is especially profound. It is not to be underestimated.

"If only incarnations go there, I fear it will be difficult to accomplish anything."

The Primordial Chaos Dao Venerable’s words caused the Five Ancestors to frown slightly.

A Taiyi-level world possessed a complete cultivation system. It truly would not be easy.

There might be experts within it comparable to their true bodies, and there could even be Great Dao Realm experts.

Realizing that this endeavor was extremely risky, none of them wished to send an incarnation there.

The Primordial Chaos Dao Venerable saw through this and thus offered them the chance to descend with their true bodies.

His words made excitement flash in the eyes of the new Five Primordial Chaos Ancestors. Clearly, they were filled with anticipation for this matter.

He said no more, instead mobilizing boundless power to forcibly open a gate of descent.

After motioning for the Five Ancestors to enter, they stepped through one after another without hesitation.

The gate immediately closed. The Primordial Chaos Dao Venerable looked slightly fatigued, but as he gazed into the distance, a confident smile rose on his lips.

However, could this operation truly proceed as smoothly as expected? No one had the answer.

Neither the Primordial Chaos Dao Venerable nor the Five Ancestors could see the direction of fate.

They had only made their choice. As for the outcome, no one knew.

In the new world, Taiqing’s incarnation and the Five Ancestors’ true bodies descended. Strangely, this world showed no rejection toward them at all.

Even more surprisingly, the core of this world’s cultivation system was spiritual energy. This meant that their original cultivation and abilities could be used here perfectly.

Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons.

The moment Taiqing arrived in this world, he sensed that something was wrong. "What kind of bizarre power is this?"

With that thought in mind, Taiqing gradually integrated into this world.

During this process, the new Five Primordial Chaos Ancestors each descended in different places.

Cundi and Receiver landed near Spirit Mountain.

At this time, Spirit Mountain was extremely prosperous, yet Cundi and Receiver inexplicably found the place deeply strange.

Sensing that something was wrong, they opened their divine eyes to observe the true situation around them.

In an instant, a nest crawling with Demonic Beasts was revealed before them.

The so-called Buddha standing atop Spirit Mountain was merely a shell of flesh disguised by Demonic Beasts.

This place might be called Spirit Mountain, but it was not entirely Spirit Mountain.

At the very least, it was not a Spirit Mountain belonging to the Buddha.

Seeing this, Cundi and Receiver were furious and immediately attacked decisively…

Hongjun’s situation was completely different from that of Cundi and Receiver.

After entering the Purple Cloud Palace, he immediately noticed the ruined scene around him.

The empty Purple Cloud Palace was exceptionally silent. Seeing such a sight, Hongjun sighed softly and waved his hand, restoring the once dilapidated Purple Cloud Palace to its former splendor.

As for Rahula, who was deep within Chaos, he had an entirely different feeling.

Because the Chaos of the Primordial World had completely dissipated, everything before him now felt incomparably familiar…

As for Yang Mei.

The old man landed in a rather ordinary place, right inside a small village.

Through conversations with the villagers, he learned that a fish demon had apparently appeared in the village recently…

Taiqing knew very well what kind of world he had chosen.

Upon arriving, he quickly found the Hunter Guild, completely unlike the newly arrived Five Primordial Chaos Ancestors.

Not only did he discover the familiar Venerable Void and Heavenly Cripple Foot, he also became a Bounty Hunter through testing.

After becoming a hunter, his first target was to find the vanished Heavenly Court.

In this world where the Buddhist Sect flourished, the Heavenly Court seemed as though it had never existed.

Taiqing believed that the Heavenly Court might be this world’s conscious entity, so he immediately locked onto the right direction, far ahead of the Five Primordial Chaos Ancestors who were still feeling out the situation.

To obtain information about the Heavenly Court, he not only accepted a high-difficulty mission to search for it, but also posted several bounty missions.

Although most of the missions were low-level, the generous rewards attracted many people.

Sure enough, several assassins came knocking the very next day, and over the following days, even more appeared one after another.

These assassins included some demon hunters, but even seventh-level demon hunters could not withstand a single strike from Taiqing.

This made some people realize that Taiqing was no easy target, so some switched to gentler methods of probing him. Various idlers began providing Taiqing with information about the Heavenly Court.

Some of this information was true, while some was fabricated.

Taiqing rewarded those who provided genuine information, while those who fabricated it received severe punishment.

Ever since Taiqing arrived in Chang’an, the city had descended into chaos.

Numerous demon hunters ran about for him, seeking more intelligence about the Heavenly Court, though some people with ulterior motives were mixed among them.

However, these people did not dare act rashly in the capital. Even if they did make a move, they might not be able to defeat Taiqing.

According to rumors, Taiqing was an extraordinary man with three heads and six arms, possessing astonishing strength that struck fear into all who heard of him.

Even the world’s most elite ninth-level demon hunters found it difficult to rival him.

Because of his fearsome reputation, countless demon hunters were wary of him, and none dared lay a hand on him.

Although rumors claimed that Taiqing possessed immense wealth, how many people in the world coveted riches enough to disregard their lives?

Such people did exist, but most had already died at Taiqing’s hands.

Those who remained were ordinary people who cherished their lives and understood their value, so they would not take risks lightly.

Perhaps they dared curse behind his back, but they absolutely did not dare behave insolently before Taiqing.

Most people with malicious intentions only talked big. Once real action was involved, no one dared take another step forward.

Still, that was only natural. After all, the disciples thrown out of Taiqing’s residence every day could be piled up to fill half a street.

Looking over this unfamiliar land and feeling its distinct customs, Taiqing sighed softly and murmured, "The Heavenly Court truly is unfathomable."

The Heavenly Court here was completely different from those in other worlds.

If I’m not mistaken, the Heavenly Court and the Buddhist Sect once fought a great war here.

Judging from the current situation, the Heavenly Court seemed to have won. Although the Buddhist Sect had not been completely defeated, it had suffered grievous losses and had even failed to hold Spirit Mountain.

This was an age where demons and monsters ran rampant. Without the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals of the Heavenly Court hunting them down, Demonic Beasts wreaked havoc everywhere.

Even though the Buddhist Sect had changed its purpose from saving all living beings to subduing demons and exterminating evil, the results had been minimal.

Now, the Buddhist Sect’s peak combat force had entered nirvana, while the leaders among the Demonic Beasts still remained.

Under these circumstances, the Buddhist Sect could barely protect itself, let alone deal with those Demonic Beasts.

Perhaps that was why the later Journey to the West came to be.

The Buddhist Sect wanted to borrow Tang Sanzang’s power to spread Buddhist teachings into the West, using this to control the countless demons and monsters.

Once successful, the Buddhist Sect would become the state religion of many nations, and its power would rise dramatically.

And that existence in nirvana would return once more.

It truly was a masterful move!
