Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything-Chapter 1029: Methods to Limit the Kongdong Seal

Kongdong Seal?

Speaking of which, Fuxi, who has lived for countless years, is considered knowledgeable and worldly, and things that astonish him are few and far between.

However, upon meeting Jiang Liu, astonishing events occurred one after another after only exchanging a few words...

At first, when Jiang Liu mentioned his intention to re-establish the Human Emperor, this idea alone left Fuxi extremely surprised.

And now, talking about wanting to reclaim the Kongdong Seal?

"This..." Fuxi’s gaze carried a hint of contemplation.

After some silent pondering, he nodded slightly and said, "As you said, although reclaiming the Kongdong Seal does not guarantee the re-establishment of the Human Emperor, the Kongdong Seal is indeed an object of human destiny. If retrieved, it would certainly greatly assist in the re-establishment of the Human Emperor!"

If the Human Realm were likened to a fallen kingdom that has become a subsidiary state, then the existence of the Kongdong Seal is akin to this nation’s Imperial Jade Seal.

Though retrieving the Imperial Jade Seal does not signify the success of the restoration, it undeniably provides a significant advantage.

Innately, this is a massive rallying force.

"Do you have any thoughts on how to obtain the Kongdong Seal?" After a brief moment of silence, Fuxi opened his mouth and asked Jiang Liu again.

However, before Jiang Liu could respond, Fuxi continued, "You wouldn’t say again that you don’t have a concrete plan, would you?"

"Uh, regarding this, I do have some ideas, isn’t that why I’m discussing it with Your Majesty?" Hearing Fuxi’s rebuke, Jiang Liu appeared a bit embarrassed as he opened his mouth to speak to Fuxi.

"Hmm, what are your thoughts? Share them first?" Fuxi asked Jiang Liu, nodding slightly.

"Your Majesty is aware that I am currently at the center of the Immeasurable Kalpa, so many matters can be maneuvered using the Immeasurable Kalpa as a pretext for strategic planning."

"Since the Kongdong Seal is now in the hands of Emperor Ziwei, naturally, a calamity should be carefully designed and then the Kongdong Seal should be retrieved!" Jiang Liu explained his overall thought process.

Having said this, Jiang Liu continued to speak to Fuxi, "Unfortunately, I was supposed to extinguish Emperor Ziwei last time. Unexpectedly, he wielded the Kongdong Seal, the power of that divine artifact was something I couldn’t counter, so I had to watch as Emperor Ziwei narrowly escaped!"

"You almost managed to kill Emperor Ziwei!?" Fuxi exclaimed, staring at Jiang Liu, astonished once more upon hearing his words.

Examining closely, an expression of surprise and doubt appeared on his face.

From Jiang Liu’s cultivation level, he is indeed of the Daluo Golden Immortal level, which is quite extraordinary. However, compared to Emperor Ziwei, this cultivation level is quite a large gap, right?

Even though he might possess some Treasures, being one of the four sovereigns, Emperor Ziwei must have Treasures as well, forcing him to bring out the Kongdong Seal for self-preservation?

"Unexpectedly, your strength has reached such a level..." After a brief silence, Fuxi’s expression transformed into one of amazement and delight as he commented to Jiang Liu.

With a slight smile, Jiang Liu did not show any intent to be modest in response to this praise.

What does a mere Emperor Ziwei count as? If it weren’t for not exposing himself prematurely, Jiang Liu thought to himself, he could’ve nearly assassinated the Empress, successfully exterminated Maitreya Buddha once, and utilized the Tai Chi Diagram to chase Randeng Buddha into fleeing...

These achievements are truly astonishing, aren’t they?

"May I ask Your Majesty!"

Jiang Liu opened his mouth, asking Fuxi, "As the former Human Emperor, the Kongdong Seal should have been in your possession for some time, right? Do you know how to restrain the Kongdong Seal?"

Indeed, the reason Emperor Ziwei managed to escape last time was that the human destiny contained in the Kongdong Seal deterred action. If one could limit the Kongdong Seal, then the possibility of exterminating Emperor Ziwei would significantly increase.

And if Emperor Ziwei could be killed, wouldn’t that mean the Kongdong Seal could be successfully reclaimed?

"Restricting the function of the Kongdong Seal!" Hearing Jiang Liu’s words, Fuxi began to ponder, evidently considering ways to deal with the matter.

Jiang Liu naturally had no intention of disturbing Fuxi and waited patiently.

As the former Human Emperor, surely he had wielded the Kongdong Seal. In terms of strategizing against the Kongdong Seal, consulting Fuxi was undoubtedly a sound approach.

"The Kongdong Seal is a human destiny object, although it isn’t akin to Treasures like the Tai Chi Diagram or the Pangu Banner, for within it dwells human destiny, symbolizing the destiny of the Human Clan. Therefore, in a sense, the value of the Kongdong Seal is not lesser than such Treasures!" After a moment of silence, Fuxi spoke to Jiang Liu.

Nodding slightly, Jiang Liu said nothing, his gaze fixed on Fuxi, awaiting further words from him.

Clearly, understanding the strength of the Kongdong Seal isn’t Jiang Liu’s concern; his desire is to know how to constrain its power.

"Because the Kongdong Seal is a destiny artifact, it is neither a weapon nor endowed with strong attack power, nor is it armor, absent of powerful defensive capabilities!" After a brief silence, Fuxi understood what Jiang Liu wished to know and proceeded to answer.

"No strong attack power or defense?" Upon hearing this, Jiang Liu furrowed his brow slightly. Really?

At that time, Emperor Ziwei brought out the Kongdong Seal, which could withstand Sun Wukong’s attacks.

Moreover, when I used the Healing Holy Hand skill, the Holy Object was completely pressed upon Emperor Ziwei. However, after showing the Kongdong Seal, Emperor Ziwei directly caused that indestructible Holy Object to shatter.

Knowing the power of the Kongdong Seal, Jiang Liu understood that without revealing treasures like the Tai Chi Diagram, it would be difficult to kill Emperor Ziwei. Therefore, Jiang Liu decisively refrained from acting.

At first, I thought that the Kongdong Seal’s attack or defense was extremely powerful. Now that I think about it, perhaps I was overthinking it?

The Kongdong Seal is indeed very powerful, but this power does not manifest in attack power or defense, right?

Is the Imperial Sword powerful? Naturally, it is. But who would claim that the Imperial Sword is extremely sharp?

Relatively speaking, the power of the Imperial Sword lies in its representation of imperial will, right?

Similarly, the power of the Kongdong Seal lies in its representation of the Human Clan’s destiny, correct?

"I see..." Hearing Fuxi’s words, Jiang Liu nodded, understanding roughly what was going on.

"So, attacking someone holding the Kongdong Seal is similar to attacking the Human Emperor, creating immense karmic consequences. This is the most powerful aspect of the Kongdong Seal, right?" Jiang Liu nodded and asked Fuxi.

"Indeed, that’s correct!" Fuxi nodded, agreeing with Jiang Liu.

"Then, if we can find the Human Emperor or other highly respected figures of the Human Clan, could we offset the effects of the Kongdong Seal?" After pondering for a moment, Jiang Liu asked Fuxi, presenting his idea.

"That should be the case!" Hearing Jiang Liu’s words, Fuxi nodded in agreement.

"I see..." Seeing Fuxi nod in agreement, Jiang Liu murmured to himself.

He now had a clearer concept about the Kongdong Seal.

"Do you want me to come out and help you reclaim the Kongdong Seal?" After pondering for a moment, Fuxi asked Jiang Liu, guessing whether Jiang Liu wanted his assistance.

"Your Majesty, can you come out?" Fuxi’s words made Jiang Liu’s eyes light up.

A level 99 blue UI and a status above that of a Quasi-Saint—if Fuxi were willing to take action, reclaiming the Kongdong Seal would be a breeze.

"I cannot!"

However, hearing Jiang Liu’s inquiry, Fuxi shook his head in response.

"Although I am one of the three emperors of the Human Clan and hold a revered status, my destiny is to teach the Human Clan how to prosper and thrive in this world."

"My destiny was fulfilled long ago, and it is not my era now. Unless there is a crisis of Human Clan extinction, I cannot intervene!" Seeing Jiang Liu’s questioning look, Fuxi explained further.

"Alright, I understand!" With Fuxi speaking to this extent, Jiang Liu certainly understood and nodded.

It is similar to founding heroes who, after achieving great deeds, relinquish military power over a glass of wine offered by the Emperor, living contentedly as wealthy idlers.

Nothing happening in court should require or best be interfered with by them.

The three emperors of the Human Clan are in seclusion within the Flame Cloud Sage Cave, and this is the situation.

Since Fuxi cannot leave the cave, Jiang Liu naturally did not press the matter further.

However, after pondering for a moment, Jiang Liu asked, "Although Your Majesty cannot leave the cave, what about King Zhou? If he were to act, would..."

"King Zhou? Are you referring to Dixin?" Hearing Jiang Liu mention King Zhou, Fuxi asked.

"Yes, it’s him!" Jiang Liu nodded, knowing only that Tianxi Star is King Zhou, but not the name Dixin.

After all, in the previous life’s TV dramas about the Investiture of the Gods, King Zhou was always referred to as such, and it seems no one called him Dixin.

"He was once an emperor of the Human Clan. If he were to take action, it would naturally be inconsequential!" After Jiang Liu nodded in confirmation, Fuxi replied.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for clarifying!" Hearing these words, Jiang Liu expressed his gratitude.

With the conversation reaching this point, Jiang Liu had asked about what he wanted to know.
