Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything-Chapter 534: The Demon Realm Where the Strong are Revered

Demon Realm, completely opposed to the Immortals and Buddhas, is not just a matter of simple interests, but more importantly a huge difference in ideologies.

Furthermore, during the ancient times, the Demon Ancestor Luohou suppressed the Primordial world. At that time, Hongjun Ancestor, who had not yet attained saintliness, along with Ancestor Yangmei, Universe Ancestor, and others, exerted the strength of nine oxen and two tigers to finally slay Demon Ancestor Luohou.

Later, Hongjun Ancestor, with half of the Jade Disk of Creation, comprehended the way of creation, attained saintliness, and established the Taoist Sect.

As for the defeated Demon Clan under Demon Ancestor Luohou, they all retreated into the Demon Realm.

Since then, the situation between the Demon Realm and the Immortals and Buddhas had become a fight to the death.

After all, the Demon Clan is the progeny of the Demon Ancestor, while today's Immortals and Buddhas can essentially be considered the doctrinal successors of Hongjun Ancestor.

The significance of the Journey to the West Team for the Buddhist Sect goes without saying; though numerous trials were designed along the way, all were fated by the Heavenly Dao, irrevocable.

Otherwise, Tathagata would have long since had someone carry Xuanzang directly from Great Tang to the Western Heaven to seek the scriptures.

However, although the ninety-nine eighty-one trials are destined by the Heavenly Dao, everything must ensure the safety of Xuanzang's life.

Going to the Demon Realm? How can that possibly guarantee the safety of Xuanzang's life!?

As an existence that can stand up to the Immortals and Buddhas, and even avoid being annihilated, the power of the Demon Realm is naturally not to be underestimated!

Therefore, upon hearing that Xuanzang and his companions had once again ventured into the Demon Realm, Tathagata's expression changed.

Even his heart started to become anxious.

"Amitabha, Great Bodhisattva Guanyin, Xuanzang and his companions have once again entered the Demon Realm!" Feeling some bitterness in his heart, Tathagata quietly chanted a Buddhist invocation before speaking to Bodhisattva Guanyin.

"Ah!? What is he doing in the Demon Realm for no reason?" Bodhisattva Guanyin's complexion also changed, exclaiming in surprise upon hearing Tathagata's words.

Everywhere can be discussed, but the Demon Realm is the most dangerous. Yet, he actually went to the Demon Realm!?

"Destinies are obscured and unclear; the affairs of the Journey to the West Team cannot be divined!" Tathagata shook his head in response to Bodhisattva Guanyin's words.

Suffice it to say, even Tathagata did not know.

"Sigh…" Hearing this, Bodhisattva Guanyin couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Tathagata suddenly informing her of this news, its significance was clear to Guanyin.

This was to send her to the Demon Realm to rescue them, right? After all, she was the coordinator of the great endeavor of the Journey to the West.

Last time before going to the Demon Realm, they at least released the seal of the Plain Colored Cloud Boundary Flag, putting them in an invincible position.

This time, without advanced preparations, protection indeed was needed.

…

Suddenly from the Mortal World to the Demon Realm's side, let alone how Tathagata and Bodhisattva Guanyin of the Great Thunder Monastery were startled.

At that moment, in the Demon Realm, Jiang Liu understood Jumang's situation roughly from the Little Witch.

"Master, like I, Old Sun say, there's no need to fuss about so much, just rush over, kill people, and seize treasures—that's how simple it is!" After learning about Jumang's situation, Sun Wukong beside him suggested, not mincing words.

"That won't do, Monkey Brother!"

As soon as Sun Wukong finished speaking, Zhu Bajie next to him shook his head, saying, "We are now in the Demon Realm; to put it unpleasantly, it's full of enemies here, too dangerous, Master. Jumang is powerful, and he has many experts under him; this Black Lotus will be hard for us to seize. Shouldn't we leave and plan in the long run?"

"Master, both Big Brother and Second Brother are right!" Sha Wujing spoke up, asserting his presence.

"Wujing…"

Hearing Sha Wujing's words, Jiang Liu's gaze fell on him, saying, "Your Big Brother and Second Brother have completely different ideas, yet you say they're both right? What does that mean?"

"Master, Second Brother's words make sense; it's too dangerous in this Demon Realm, like two demon heads appearing in the Immortal Realm, equally a very dangerous situation! If possible, we should hurry and leave; that's the main priority!"

Hearing Jiang Liu's question, Sha Wujing explained.

As soon as these words were spoken, pausing briefly, Sha Wujing continued, "But Big Brother's words also make sense; if, Master, you are determined to have that Black Lotus, we must make a swift and decisive battle. Otherwise, the longer we drag on, the more disadvantageous it will be for us!"

"Hmm, not bad, your analysis makes sense!" It seemed like a long time since Sha Wujing had spoken such a lengthy speech, which made Jiang Liu nod in agreement.

Indeed, being in the Demon Realm was as dangerous as a demon from the Demon Realm appearing in the Immortal Realm!

"With this in mind, we should not delay our action!"

After a moment of silence, Jiang Liu also felt there was no better option; it seemed they indeed had to launch a forceful assault.

"So, Master, when do we take action?" Hearing Jiang Liu's words, it was clear they were going to act directly; Sun Wukong was eager to try.

"Right now!"

Having decided to take action, naturally, there was no need for delay.

"Now!? Good! Master, decisive!" Sun Wukong immediately gave a thumbs up to Jiang Liu, praising him.

"Brother Xuanzang, shall we help too?" Hearing Jiang Liu's words that they were about to take action, the Little Witch hesitated a bit before asking.

"No need, just stay here!" However, facing the Little Witch's suggestion, Jiang Liu shook his head.

She is ultimately a person from the Demon Realm—if she were to mingle with me, she would find it hard to stand in the Demon Realm in the future.

Jiang Liu did not wish for the Little Witch to end up in such a predicament just to help him.

Furthermore, and more importantly, the Little Witch was not very strong, and her subordinates from the Demon Clan were also weak, completely unqualified to meddle in this battle.

In that case, why would he let her join?

"Oh, when I said I'd help, I was just talking and didn't really mean to help, don't take it seriously!" Faced with Jiang Liu's refusal, the Little Witch shook her head and pretended not to care.

"I know! That's why I'm refusing!" Jiang Liu replied, appearing indifferent to the Little Witch's words.

As their voices trailed off, the two looked at each other and smiled, feeling a connection of hearts.

"Alright, I'm off!"

After a wave of his hand, Jiang Liu, recognizing that a deep friendship required no excess words, turned with Sun Wukong and the others to fly towards the forest where Jumang resided.

"Wait a moment…" However, as Jiang Liu and his group turned to leave, the Little Witch suddenly spoke up.

"What, worried about me? Want to say a few words of blessing?" Sitting on Little White Dragon's back, Jiang Liu turned his head and glanced at the Little Witch.

"Remember to come back and grill some meat for me after the fight! It's been a while since I had your grilled meat! I gathered so many people to open a channel for you and lead you to the Demon Realm, you can't not grill some meat for me, right?" The Little Witch had no intention of saying words of blessing.

"Hmm, alright! I'll come back and grill it for you!" Jiang Liu nodded and agreed verbally.

Even though no words of blessing were said, Jiang Liu understood that the Little Witch's words were her way of blessing him.

Telling him to come back and grill meat for her was actually her way of telling him to come back alive.

...

The power of the Heavenly Court was almost exclusively dominated by the Great Jade Emperor; beneath him were four imperial assistants who supported him in managing all of the Heavenly Court's operations.

Simply put, the existence of the Heavenly Court was like an imperial court under a monarchical system, with the Jade Emperor as the emperor and the four imperial assistants as the chancellors.

However, the power structure of the Demon Realm was completely different, with large and small forces of varying strengths. These forces, the weak clinging to the strong, yet each acted on their own.

The overall situation was akin to a situation where feudal princes coexisted independently.

The Witch Demon Forest was one of the stronger forces in the Demon Realm, somewhat similar to Yu Hua's forces of yore.

After all, both parties were of the Great Luo Realm.

Twenty thousand li away was not close, but flying with the Art of Cloud Soaring, it also wasn't too far.

Because they wanted to avoid unnecessary complications, Sha Wujing took up the task of Cloud Soaring, and billows of Demonic Qi spread out.

Jiang Liu and the others followed Sha Wujing as they flew towards the direction of the Witch Demon Forest.

Indeed, the foreboding presence of the Demonic Qi did not attract special attention from others.

After all, Sha Wujing had reached the Taiyi Realm; although his strength was not the strongest in the Journey to the West Team, in the context of the Three Realms, one of the Taiyi Realm was considered a master.

Naturally, no one dared to cause trouble along the way.

After about two Chinese Hours of flight, soon, Jiang Liu and his group arrived above a forest.

The Witch Demon Forest!

Because Jumang of the Ancient Ancestral Witches was the Ancestral Witch of Wood, this Demon Clan that inherited Jumang's bloodline chose this forest as their stronghold.

The forest was thus renamed Witch Demon Forest.

"Master, we have arrived at the Witch Demon Forest!" Having stopped midway in the sky above the forest, Sha Wujing spoke.

Noticing the presence of Jiang Liu and his companions, several figures emerged to greet them.

"Who are you, and what business brings you to our Witch Demon Forest?" Two Demons of not weak Cultivation Levels in the fifties, flew up into the sky and asked Jiang Liu and others.

"We wish to see Jumang, please inform him of our arrival!" First trying courtesy before force, Jiang Liu stepped forward politely and spoke humbly.

"You want to meet Lord Jumang? Possible! But we'll see if you're capable. Anyone who wants to see Lord Jumang and is unknown to us has to demonstrate their strength. At the very least, they should be of the Taiyi Realm!"

In the Demon Realm, the rule of the survival of the fittest was demonstrated to the fullest, simple and brutal.

"So straightforward, I like that!" Jiang Liu thought to himself upon hearing the two Demons' words.

He then nodded at Sun Wukong and the others.

Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Wujing each stepped forward slightly.

Then, an immense aura emanated from them, a mix of Demon Qi and Demonic Qi coalescing into a terrible hurricane!

Hiss, and even, Great Luo Realm!?
