Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything-Chapter 449: Sudden Change - The Sudden Divine Level Quest

"Methods, indeed, there are some that I know of!" Hearing Sun Wukong's inquiry, Jiang Liu naturally nodded.

"Oh? Master is truly remarkable to have a solution!" Sun Wukong's eyes brightened upon hearing what Jiang Liu said.

Indeed, although Master's cultivation level was still negligible in comparison, his supernatural powers and closely-knitted wisdom were not to be underestimated.

This Flame Mountain had burned for hundreds of years, with no one able to extinguish it, yet Master had a solution?

"In truth, extinguishing the flames of Flame Mountain might be exceedingly difficult for others, but for us, it is but an easy task!" Jiang Liu said with a smile on his face, nodding slightly.

"Master, what is the method then? An easy task that can extinguish the vast flames of Flame Mountain!? Please do tell!" Hearing Jiang Liu's words, the disciples of Sun Wukong looked at Jiang Liu in amazement.

Of course, they knew that their Master was not one to brag without reason.

"As far as I am aware, there is a treasure between heaven and earth that can put out the great fire of Flame Mountain, and that treasure is the Banana Leaf Fan!" Jiang Liu wasn't playing coy. When an epic-level quest dropped into his lap, he naturally wanted to get it over with as quickly as possible.

Currently, I am at level 58 in terms of strength, and theoretically, surpassing level 61 marks the shedding of mortal coils and the achievement of the Path of Heavenly Immortal.

Jiang Liu was also curious about what it would be like to reach level 61 and attain the Realm of Heavenly Immortal?

"The Banana Leaf Fan!?" The moment Jiang Liu's words fell, Sun Wukong's eyes widened in astonishment as he stared at Jiang Liu, for he knew the worth of the Banana Leaf Fan.

"Exactly, it is indeed what you are thinking—the Banana Leaf Fan in the hands of Demon King Ox, which is sufficient to put out the great fire of Flame Mountain!" Seeing Sun Wukong's shocked expression, Jiang Liu smiled, nodded, and affirmed the thoughts in Sun Wukong's mind.

"Then this is simply too easy!" With his thoughts confirmed, Sun Wukong's face was filled with joy as he nodded and said, "If it's the Banana Leaf Fan from Brother Niu's hands, then I, Old Sun, can borrow it right away!"

"Go ahead, then!" Hearing Sun Wukong's words, Jiang Liu also nodded in agreement.

Unlike in the original story where it was a tough task, given the current relationship between Jiang Liu and Demon King Ox and his son, they were practically family. Borrowing the Banana Leaf Fan to give it a try, he truly couldn't think of any reason why the Demon King Ox would refuse.

"Alright, Master, wait for the good news from I, Old Sun. I shall return shortly!" It was a simple effort to make amends for the mistake he had made in the past, and Sun Wukong was very eager to set out.

In a flurry, after throwing out a sentence, he leapt up, utilizing the supernatural power of the Somersault Cloud to depart.

Jiang Liu and his disciples naturally stayed behind, waiting for Sun Wukong's return.

"This is really lucky, what a coincidence!" Zhu Bajie and the others were also joyous, waiting in a relaxed manner.

Sure enough, in no more than the time it took for half a tea to brew, Sun Wukong had already returned, carrying a massive green Banana Leaf Fan on his shoulder.

"Master, I found Brother Niu, and once I said that I wanted to borrow the Banana Leaf Fan, he didn't hesitate and lent it to me!" Sun Wukong said cheerfully as he landed.

"Well done, if it weren't for Sun Wukong and his party sending Red Boy to Guanyin, who ended up becoming a lackey like Good Wealth Child and was held hostage in her hand, would the Demon King Ox family have given Sun Wukong any trouble?" Seeing how easily Sun Wukong had obtained the Banana Leaf Fan, Jiang Liu nodded and commented.

"Alright, let's go, let's head directly to Flame Mountain!"

Now that the Banana Leaf Fan was acquired, the next course of action was naturally to head to Flame Mountain to extinguish the fire. Therefore, after a brief rest, Jiang Liu and his party continued their journey westward.

It's worth mentioning that the old man from the teashop, upon seeing Jiang Liu and his party off, knelt down and expressed his gratitude profusely.

The conversation about extinguishing the great fire of Flame Mountain had been overheard by him, of course.

Continuing their journey forward, indeed, the further they went, the hotter the weather became. After several more days, the air was filled with searing heat, and then they could see the sky aflame in the distance, seemingly endless.

Looking at Flame Mountain, it appeared as an endless sea of fire, as if severing the path between heaven and earth.

"This Flame Mountain truly stretches endlessly, inexhaustibly vast!" Looking at the expanse before him where the whole landscape seemed to be severed by the flames, Jiang Liu felt awe and expressed his sentiment for the first time upon seeing such a sight.

And, glancing ahead, where only flames blocked the path, it was as if they had reached the very edge of the heavens, or as if the whole world had been cut off by the fire.

"Isn't that the case? Hasn't someone said before? This Flame Mountain is said to be eight hundred miles wide! If we can't extinguish these flames, considering our speed, it would take us at least half a year to detour around them!" Following Jiang Liu's words, Zhu Bajie spoke up.

"A detour would take half a year!?" Hearing Zhu Bajie's words, Jiang Liu's eyes sparkled with an idea.

If that was the case, then taking a detour seemed like an excellent choice!? But of course, this thought was merely a fleeting one in Jiang Liu's mind.

Despite his keenness to use any means to delay time, the responsibility for Flame Mountain rested on Sun Wukong's shoulders. With his guilt burning fiercely, he had hurriedly borrowed the Banana Leaf Fan to extinguish the fire. If Jiang Liu were to ignore it now, what would Sun Wukong think in his heart?

There are plenty of ways to delay the time, and this is no exception!

"So this is the Flame Mountain!? Watch how I, Old Sun, extinguish these surging flames!" After several days of travel, they finally arrived at the edge of Flame Mountain. Sun Wukong, carrying a giant Banana Leaf Fan, flew high into the sky. Then, raising the fan in his hand, he ferociously fanned towards Flame Mountain.

Fierce winds suddenly howled, turning the world between heaven and earth into a realm of hurricanes.

The distant flames, which had been raging fiercely, were pressed down by this terrifying wind and immediately shrank.

As the flames diminished, naturally, the scorching aura that filled the air seemed to dissipate somewhat.

"Brother, it's really working, don't stop, keep going!" Feeling the heat in the air significantly reduced, Zhu Bajie wiped the sweat from his forehead with his wide sleeves and shouted loudly at Sun Wukong.

"Heh heh heh, naturally!" Seeing the flames of Flame Mountain decrease, Sun Wukong also knew it was effective. He smiled and immediately swung the Banana Leaf Fan again, fanning fiercely towards Flame Mountain.

The howling gale rose once more, and the flames that had been suppressed now suddenly extinguished a large swath in an instant.

Looking as far as the eye could see, the flames across heavens and earth seemed to have been cleared away in a flash. With this effort, at least seven or eight tenths of Flame Mountain's fires had been extinguished.

Witnessing this scene, Sun Wukong once again raised the Banana Leaf Fan high and fanned downwards fiercely.

For the last time, the wild winds blew furiously, and the few stubborn flames on Flame Mountain were instantly extinguished at this moment, leaving behind only a scorched mountain range before everyone's eyes.

Black smoke rose to the sky, but the flames were no more.

"It's extinguished, the Flame Mountain that hasn't been extinguished for hundreds of years, the flames are all gone, it's great!"

As the fierce winds roared and the flames of Flame Mountain were completely extinguished, naturally, countless residents around Flame Mountain felt it, and cheers erupted one after another, resounding through the heavens.

"Not bad, this Banana Leaf Fan, indeed, is perfect for extinguishing the flames of Flame Mountain!" Seeing this scene, Jiang Liu wore a satisfied expression on his face and nodded silently to himself.

"Xiaobai, follow that up with a downpour, might as well do the good deed through to the end!" With the flames of Flame Mountain extinguished, Jiang Liu then spoke to the White Dragon Horse.

"Alright, Master!" Hearing Jiang Liu's words, Little White Dragon paid no mind to the so-called celestial laws and leapt up, transforming into a white dragon, soaring straight into the clouds.

Though because of swallowing the Dragon Ball of the Candle Dragon, Little White Dragon had become a fire dragon, being of the Dragon Clan, summoning clouds and rain was an Innate Divine Ability, not something he'd lose just because he'd become a fire dragon.

With a thunderous rumble and lightning flashing across the sky, dark clouds quickly gathered. Following the extinguishing of the flames, soon, a torrential downpour fell!

For the residents around Flame Mountain, not only had the fire that had burned fiercely for hundreds of years been extinguished, but now there was also a heavy rain. This turn of events was truly a blessing after suffering.

Countless common folk knelt on the ground, shouting loudly to express the joy in their hearts.

"Not bad, hahaha, that's how it should be, pretty good!" Sun Wukong rested the Banana Leaf Fan on his shoulder, looking at the extinguished flames of Flame Mountain and the ensuing heavy rain, his face full of smiles, he kept nodding, feeling extremely refreshed.

"Master, what's wrong with you? You don't seem to be very happy!"

However, just at that moment, Sha Wujing suddenly noticed something off about Jiang Liu's expression and asked.

"Oh, it's nothing, just a bit distracted!" In response to Sha Wujing's words, Jiang Liu came back to his senses, shaking his head as he spoke.

Although he said it was nothing, Jiang Liu's heart felt very heavy.

What's going on? I accepted a passive quest, to extinguish the great fire of Flame Mountain, an Epic Level quest at that. But now that the fire has been extinguished, Little White Dragon is even bringing rain... Why? Why hasn't my quest been completed yet?

Could it be that the quest was too easy to complete, and the system is reluctant to give out the rewards so easily?

You're joking, right? When has my system ever been so considerate?

Just as Jiang Liu was complaining inwardly, finally, a system notification appeared at this moment.

However, this system notification was somewhat different from what Jiang Liu had imagined.

Notification: Successfully accepted the quest "Extinguish Flame Mountain". Quest requirement: successfully extinguish the flames of Flame Mountain. Reward: 130 million Experience Points, obtain a Divine Level Treasure Chest*1. Failure to complete the quest will result in deduction of 130 million Experience Points.

"What!? This quest to extinguish Flame Mountain, how did it suddenly change like this!? From Epic Level straight to Divine Level!?"

Seeing the system's notification, without giving him the choice to accept or not, and instantly elevating the rank of the original quest, Jiang Liu was taken aback.

This was the first time he had encountered such a situation since unlocking the quest feature!?
