Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything-Chapter 816 Resurrection
816: Chapter 816: Resurrection
816 -816: Resurrection
As Jiang Liu spoke, amidst the darkness, a strange beast emerged.
Walking slowly, it approached Jiang Liu and then transformed into the appearance of a Taoist body.
It was the divine beast Tingdi under Ksitigarbha’s seat!
Jiang Liu did not speak, but merely watched him quietly.
And Tingdi, gazing at Jiang Liu, had a look of astonishment in his eyes.
“You actually killed Manjushri Bodhisattva and Samantabhadra Bodhisattva!?” Tingdi asked in shock, his eyes wide as he looked at Jiang Liu.
Manjushri Bodhisattva and Samantabhadra Bodhisattva were highly renowned in the Buddhist Sect, and their fame spread throughout the entire Three Realms and Six Paths.
Yet, they were killed just like that!?
In the Three Realms and Six Paths, there were only about twenty or thirty beings at the Quasi-Saint level in total.
Similarly, there were not many beings at the Great Luo Golden Immortal level either.
Considering the Buddhist Sect, Heavenly Court, Demon Realm, Demon Clan, and even the Asura Clan below the Nine Nether, the total number of Great Luo Golden Immortals was estimated to be around two to three hundred.
Though this number seemed considerable, it was actually quite small relative to the billions of creatures in the world, and the lives that often spanned thousands or even tens of thousands of years.
Moreover, Manjushri Bodhisattva and Samantabhadra Bodhisattva were disciples of Saints!?
And now, they had fallen just like that!?
“Do you need to ask me if Manjushri Bodhisattva and Samantabhadra Bodhisattva were killed by me?
Their lost souls haven’t gone to Ksitigarbha yet?” Jiang Liu replied calmly, looking at Tingdi.
“I certainly know that.
It’s just so shocking!” Tingdi responded to Jiang Liu’s words.
“Alright, you made a special trip to the mortal world to talk to me, not just to discuss this, right?” Jiang Liu asked directly, no longer interested in discussing past events.
“Oh, that’s right!”
With Jiang Liu’s words, Tingdi seemed to recall the purpose of his visit to the mortal world and said: “I have come here today under the orders of a Bodhisattva to find you!”
Jiang Liu naturally knew the Bodhisattva that Tingdi spoke of.
“Oh?
What does Ksitigarbha want with me?” Jiang Liu asked.
“The Bodhisattva wants me to ask you if you have mastered a divine skill that can revive people, even immortals and gods!” Tingdi questioned Jiang Liu.
“That’s correct!” Jiang Liu nodded affirmatively.
However, Jiang Liu continued: “Under certain conditions, no matter who is dead, I can revive them!”
“Certain conditions!?” Tingdi looked at Jiang Liu upon hearing this.
Jiang Liu did not specify these conditions, and Tingdi chose not to probe further.
Tingdi then asked: “What about Roc Demon?
He is already dead.
Can you revive him now?”
“Roc Demon!?” Jiang Liu’s eyebrows raised slightly.
Turning his head to look at Roc Demon’s corpse, Jiang Liu then nodded: “I indeed can!
But does Ksitigarbha want me to revive Roc Demon?”
“Yes, Ksitigarbha wants me to tell you that if possible, he hopes you can revive Roc Demon!” Tingdi nodded and said.
“Why!?” Jiang Liu asked curiously.
Knowing that Roc Demon was killed by him, why did Ksitigarbha still want him revived?
“The Bodhisattva did not tell me the specifics.
He just had me convey this message.”
“Of course, whether to revive him or not is up to Master Xuanzang yourself!” Without replying directly, Tingdi said this and seemed to have completed his task in the mortal world, then turned to leave.
As Tingdi turned to leave, Jiang Liu did not try to stop him but instead started pondering.
Roc Demon was killed by him.
Even if he revived him, it did not mean Roc Demon would be grateful, right?
Then why did Ksitigarbha want him revived?
Could it be because of Kong Xuan!?
Jiang Liu wondered.
But Kong Xuan took his Green Lotus Buddha Robe.
Jiang Liu and Kong Xuan have a grudge, right?
Maybe to regain the Green Lotus Buddha Robe, he’d have to fight Kong Xuan someday.
So why resurrect Roc Demon?
Unable to understand or figure it out!
However, throughout his journey, Jiang Liu had great trust in Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.
Since Ksitigarbha sent Tingdi specially to convey this message, there must be some deeper meaning behind it, right?
Another key point was that Roc Demon was just a late-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal.
Although strong, he posed no significant threat to Jiang Liu and his Journey to the West Pilgrimage Team.
Even if revived, Roc Demon’s animosity toward him wouldn’t pose much of a threat, right?
After pondering for a moment, Jiang Liu decided to proceed with reviving Roc Demon!
With this thought, Jiang Liu walked up to Roc Demon’s body, then extended his hand and pointed at Roc Demon.
Soul-Returning Spell!
As the Soul-Returning Spell landed on Roc Demon.
Soon, Jiang Liu could see Roc Demon’s health bar restore by half, and his lifeless body regained vitality.
Moments later, as if awakening from a sleep, Roc Demon slowly opened his eyes.
Naturally, his gaze instantly locked on Jiang Liu!
“I?
Wasn’t I dead?
Did you save me!?” Roc Demon’s face was filled with astonishment as he looked at Jiang Liu and asked.
“Alright, leave now!” Seeing Roc Demon awaken, Jiang Liu, having revived him, didn’t intend to say much more.
“Why!?”
But even though Jiang Liu didn’t want to talk, Roc Demon, filled with confusion, looked at Jiang Liu in disbelief and said: “Why did you kill me, only to save me!?”
Speaking, Roc Demon also looked around and then asked: “Why?
Why save only me!?”
Why!? freēnovelkiss.com
Jiang Liu himself didn’t know why.
How could he answer Roc Demon?
So, with nothing much to say, Jiang Liu simply turned and left, quickly disappearing into the night.
Although Roc Demon was extremely curious and wanted to understand what had happened, seeing Jiang Liu leave, he naturally did not intend to pursue.
Transforming after a while, Roc Demon returned to his Taoist body form.
Though his face was pale and covered in blood, despite no longer being in life-threatening danger, Roc Demon, with only half his health bar remaining, was still gravely injured.
Thinking for a long time, unable to comprehend why Jiang Liu revived him, Roc Demon was even more confused.
Shaking his head, Roc Demon suppressed his doubts and left without saying much more.
No matter why Master Xuanzang saved him, the fact that he could be revived was a blessing!
Reasons?
Eventually, they would be known!
Summoning a spell, while chanting, soon a white cloud from the night sky descended, forming nine layers of steps leading to Jiang Liu’s feet.
Using the Cloud Ascending Leaps and the Art of Cloud Soaring, Jiang Liu ascended into the sky, heading toward Peacock Valley.
Flying mid-air, Jiang Liu glanced eastward, where the horizon was beginning to lighten.
It seemed that morning was approaching quickly, indeed.
Tonight’s events were significant and ceremonial.
Though many in the Buddhist Sect had been killed during the Journey to the West, like Tiger Conquering Arhat, Baosheng Buddha, and even Maitreya Buddha!
Yet, killing Manjushri Bodhisattva and Samantabhadra Bodhisattva was his first upright act of killing as Tang Monk.
This event held substantial significance.
“The purpose of the Journey to the West is to overthrow the Immortals and Buddhas!
Though it’s far from being the time to tear faces with the Buddhist Sect, it’s still possible to act earlier if the opportunity arises!”
Jiang Liu murmured to himself.
Yes, killing more early means less pressure during the final showdown, right?
If he could eliminate Immortals and Buddhas along the pilgrimage route, by the time he reached the Great Thunder Monastery, everything would be more seamless!
Overthrowing the Buddhist Sect is premature now.
But perhaps it’s time to try.
Another key point is that with his current level, everyone in the pilgrimage team can join forces, killing anyone below Great Luo Golden Immortal.
Now his team’s strength was indeed mighty!
“Hmm, the earlier Journey to the West had to consider the Buddhist Sect’s face, a battle of wits.
But now, in the latter half of the pilgrimage, our strength has grown considerably!”
“I want to break through this Journey to the West!”
“I want to become the Tang Monk who breaks through the Journey to the West!”
“Bravo, truly worthy of me!”
As the saying goes, self-reflect daily.
Jiang Liu frequently pondered his future path.
After killing Manjushri Bodhisattva and Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, Jiang Liu contemplated his future journey, feeling quite motivated.
“Oh right!”
Though feeling highly motivated, Jiang Liu’s heart suddenly stirred.
Manjushri Bodhisattva and Samantabhadra Bodhisattva had fallen, wondering what treasures might be obtained?
Additionally, the recently completed mission also rewarded a Divine Level Treasure Chest and two Epic Level Treasure Chests, right?
Curious, Jiang Liu eagerly looked into his inventory.
Indeed, a Divine Level Treasure Chest was present, and there were also two Epic Level Treasure Chests, no mistake!
Besides these treasure chests, other equipment popped up in the inventory too.
Apparently, they were items dropped by killing monsters!
