802 -802: The Origin of the Roc Bird

“Holy Monk, please help us!

Remove the threat of demons!

Our entire Lion Camel Kingdom is willing to build a temple in your honor, and our descendants will worship you!”

Holding the Umbrella of the Masses, the five humans, including the elder, seemed to have reached the end of their rope, placing their hopes entirely on Jiang Liu.

They spoke earnestly and imploringly.

Hint: Trigger quest “Believer”, quest requirement, successfully resolve the threat of the myriad demons in the Lion Camel Kingdom.

Quest success grants 800 million experience points and one Epic Level treasure chest.

Accept/Decline?

As these humans knelt and begged him, the system’s prompt sounded in Jiang Liu’s mind.

Indeed, when others requested his help, it triggered a passive quest.

Although this quest somewhat overlapped with his “Justice” quest, the objectives of the two quests were entirely different.

The previous quest aimed to seek justice for the people of the Lion Camel Kingdom, primarily targeting Manjushri and Samantabhadra Bodhisattva.

Therefore, the Divine Level quest had extremely generous rewards.

This quest, however, aimed to eliminate the threat of the myriad demons in the Lion Camel Kingdom.

Consequently, the reward was lesser, merely an Epic Level quest.

But in any case, 800 million experience points was still a very generous reward.

“Amitabha, since you are so sincere in your request, how could this humble monk stand by idly…” Naturally, Jiang Liu accepted the quest.

He reached out to take the Umbrella of the Masses from the elder’s hands and spoke.

“Thank you, Holy Monk!

Thank you!” Hearing Jiang Liu’s words and seeing him accept the Umbrella of the Masses, the humans were overjoyed and continuously expressed their gratitude.

“Alright, you may go back now!” After accepting the quest, Jiang Liu waved his hand and spoke to the humans.

“Thank you, Holy Monk, thank you…” With joy still evident on their faces, the humans left, but they continued to express their deep gratitude as they gradually walked away.

“The Holy Monk truly has a heart of gold…” As the humans turned to leave, the Peacock Princess gazed at Jiang Liu with admiration in her eyes.

Such is the nature of humans; when you like someone, their flaws diminish, and their virtues magnify!

In the Peacock Princess’s heart, Jiang Liu was just like that.

Helping others tirelessly is a virtue, and in the Peacock Princess’s heart, it made her fall for him even more, feeling she had not misjudged him.

“Hehehe, Princess, you have no idea…” Hearing the Peacock Princess’s words, Jiang Liu did not respond, but Zhu Bajie chuckled, moved closer, and said, “My master truly saves those in distress and answers all requests!

As far as I know, whenever someone has a request for my master, he has almost never refused!”

“Alright, Bajie!” Initially keeping a respectful distance from the Peacock Princess, Jiang Liu felt somewhat helpless at Zhu Bajie’s attempt to earn favor for him and called out to him.

After halting Zhu Bajie, Jiang Liu quietly began to ponder.

These humans seeking his help was unexpected for Jiang Liu.

But upon careful thought, wasn’t this like being offered a pillow when feeling sleepy?

He was just worried about having a justifiable reason to deal with Manjushri and Samantabhadra Bodhisattva.

Now, having agreed to the requests of the Lion Camel Kingdom’s people and having the Umbrella of the Masses!

Now, he could fully represent the people’s will of the entire Lion Camel Kingdom, right?

In this way, he could refuse to spare the three demons of the Lion Camel Kingdom!

He could even clash to the end with Manjushri and Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, and it would all make perfect sense, right?

Thinking of this, a slight smile appeared at the corner of Jiang Liu’s mouth.

…

Meanwhile, about three hundred miles away from Lion Camel Ridge, in a dense forest, the Green Lion Demon and White Elephant Demon sat together, looking dejected.

The White Elephant Demon was better off, his injuries were not too severe, but the Green Lion Demon’s condition was quite dire, with an entire arm completely dissolved, leaving him with only one arm.

“Elder brother, this Immeasurable Kalpa is truly terrifying!”

Glancing at the distant Roc Demon, who had gone hunting due to hunger, the White Elephant Demon turned to the Green Lion Demon and spoke.

“Alas, we’ve always known the horrors of the Immeasurable Kalpa, haven’t we?” The Green Lion Demon sighed deeply at the White Elephant Demon’s words.

Previously, the two of them were disciples of the Sect of Intercepting and could be considered disciples of the Saints.

Unfortunately, after the Deification catastrophe, the Sect of Intercepting was annihilated, and they had to seek refuge under Manjushri and Samantabhadra, becoming their mounts for survival!

Now, with the emergence of the Immeasurable Kalpa again in the Journey to the West calamity, the two Bodhisattvas had sent them down to the lower realm to meet their fates, which they naturally resisted.

But under the eaves, one has to bow their head.

Moreover, the two Bodhisattvas had successively bestowed upon them the Escape Dragon Stake and Rainbow Lock as protective treasures.

Additionally, the Bodhisattvas had instructed them to ally with the Roc Demon, relying on his power to survive the calamity, which somewhat reassured the Green Lion Demon and the White Elephant Demon.

Following the Bodhisattvas’ instruction, they found the Roc Demon, tested him, and discovered his cultivation level was indeed terrifyingly high, perhaps even on par with the Bodhisattvas!

This delighted the Green Lion Demon and White Elephant Demon, and they immediately formed a sworn brotherhood with him, leveraging his strength to face the calamity.

As the saying goes, “When the sky falls, the tall ones hold it up,” and the Roc Demon, with his immensely powerful cultivation, was just this tall one!

As long as they could create calamities for the Journey to the West Pilgrimage Team, their task would be considered complete.

As for the dangers of this great calamity?

Naturally, the Roc Demon would bear them, which was all the better!

However, though the plan was good, the actual development was far from what they had envisioned. freewebnσvel.cѳm

Firstly, the Roc Demon had encountered Xuanzang and even fought with him, only to be subdued by Xuanzang.

Thus, the Roc Demon initially did not wish to cause trouble for the Journey to the West Pilgrimage Team, and he even showed no interest in the Longevity Meat.

Secondly, and most crucially, the strength of the Journey to the West Pilgrimage Team was far greater than they had expected.

Especially that Sun Wukong!

Originally, based on Sun Wukong’s strength during the Havoc in Heaven five hundred years ago, the Green Lion Demon and White Elephant Demon thought they might not be much worse than the Monkey.

However, in actual combat, the Monkey’s strength had increased significantly compared to five hundred years ago!

Not only did he possess numerous treasures, but even his cultivation had advanced to the Great Luo Golden Immortal Middle Stage.

Lastly, and most importantly, the Journey to the West Pilgrimage Team possessed far too many treasures!

Firstly, Xuanzang had near Vajra Indestructible Body level defense.

Secondly, there was the Cash-Dropping Coin, which rendered opponents unable to use their treasures, thereby significantly weakening their strength.

Finally, most unexpectedly, the Golden Flood Dragon Scissors was in Sun Wukong’s possession!?

As former disciples of the Sect of Intercepting like the Horned Head Immortal and Spirit Tooth Immortal, the Green Lion Demon and White Elephant Demon naturally recognized the Golden Flood Dragon Scissors.

After all, it belonged to the same Sect of Intercepting disciple, Lady Sanxiao!

“Elder brother, what should we do next!?” The White Elephant Demon’s gaze fell on the Green Lion Demon as he questioned.

This left the Green Lion Demon in silence.

Indeed, what should they do next?

Even the Green Lion Demon had no good idea!

This gathering of myriad demons to attack Peacock Valley—had it really created a calamity for the Journey to the West Pilgrimage Team?

The Green Lion Demon could not be sure!

Therefore, he did not know if their mission was really completed!

If it wasn’t completed, should they just return like this?

But with one arm lost, and even the gathering of the myriad demons not being their opponents, what could they do next?

Feeling lost, the Green Lion Demon didn’t know where to go or what to do next.

“It seems we can only place our hopes on our third brother…” As the Green Lion Demon remained silent, the White Elephant Demon looked around, seeing that the Roc Demon had not yet returned, and whispered.

“Third brother?”

The Green Lion Demon looked at the White Elephant Demon curiously, “Although our third brother’s cultivation is exceptionally high, he might only barely surpass Sun Wukong.

Unless he has a chance to tackle them one by one, he may not be their match either, right?”

“Elder brother, there’s something you don’t know…” Listening to Green Lion Demon, the White Elephant Demon suddenly shook his head.

“Oh?

What is it?” The Green Lion Demon’s interest piqued as he pursued the question.

What had the White Elephant Demon kept from him?

“The origin of our third brother!

It’s extraordinary!” The White Elephant Demon’s expression turned serious as he spoke.

“That, I surmised somewhat.

But do you know for sure?” Noddding slightly, the Green Lion Demon stared at the White Elephant Demon earnestly.

Wasn’t the Roc Demon possessing an eternal youthful body?

This was an ability even the Immortals and Buddhas did not possess, indicating the Roc Demon’s extraordinary origins.

“At the beginning of the world, there were two clans—Dragon and Phoenix—that ruled the Primordial Continent.

This, you know, right?” asked the White Elephant Demon.

“Naturally, I know!” The Green Lion Demon nodded, having once been a Saint’s disciple, he was well aware of the Dragon and Phoenix clans.

“At the beginning of time, the Dragon Clan’s leader was called Ancestral Dragon, and the Phoenix Clan’s leader was called Yuanfeng…”

“Once, Yuanfeng had offspring, not as Phoenixes, but as a Peacock and a Roc, the first Peacock and Roc in the world…”

“Peacock?

Roc?” The Green Lion Demon’s eyebrows rose.

He raised a hand to stop the White Elephant Demon from continuing, and asked, “I know about the Roc.

There was once a top-tier powerhouse in the Demon Clan called the Roc—Demon Master Kunpeng!”

“And the Peacock—I also know of the Peacock Great Bright King Bodhisattva in our Buddhist Sect!”

“Are these connected?”
