Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything-Chapter 760 - I Found the Golden Flood Dragon Scissors, Can You Believe It

760: Chapter 760: I Found the Golden Flood Dragon Scissors, Can You Believe It?

760 -760: I Found the Golden Flood Dragon Scissors, Can You Believe It?

“Xuanzang, does Wukong have the Golden Flood Dragon Scissors in his hand?”

Putting aside what Jiang Liu was contemplating as he looked at Randeng Buddha’s profile, Randeng Buddha took the initiative and asked Jiang Liu.

“If I say no, would you believe me?” Jiang Liu secretly criticized in his heart, wondering why Randeng Buddha even had to ask such an obvious question.

However, no matter what he thought internally, he naturally would not show it on his face.

Jiang Liu nodded and said, “Buddha, yes, I obtained these Golden Flood Dragon Scissors purely by chance!”

“Obtained purely by chance?” Jiang Liu’s words made Randeng Buddha slightly startle.

After being silent for a moment, Randeng Buddha could not help but follow up with a question, “What you refer to as obtained purely by chance, how exactly did you obtain them?”

“Oh, not long ago, I was walking along the road when I saw a glimmer of gold by the roadside reflecting the sunlight, and it dazzled my eyes for a moment.

When I looked, I picked up these Golden Flood Dragon Scissors from the ground!”

Whether Randeng Buddha believed him or not, it didn’t matter—there was no way to prove otherwise, right?

Jiang Liu casually found a reason and replied.

“Picked up while walking on the road, just like that!?” Jiang Liu’s response made Randeng Buddha’s face darken a bit.

Could such a treasure as the Golden Flood Dragon Scissors be found so easily while walking down the road?

What kind of luck is that?

“So, it seems fitting for someone who is the chosen one of destiny in this great calamity,” Randeng Buddha mused to himself, his face darkening slightly.

Maybe that was the only explanation that made sense?

As for doubting Jiang Liu’s words?

Randeng Buddha never really doubted them.

After all, the more absurd the story and the harder it was to believe, the more Randeng Buddha actually felt the authenticity of Jiang Liu’s words.

If he really wanted to lie, couldn’t he just come up with a more believable excuse?

“The Heaven and Earth Inkstone…” Randeng Buddha’s attention was on the Golden Flood Dragon Scissors, while Jiang Liu’s was on Randeng Buddha’s Heaven and Earth Inkstone.

His heart stirred slightly—Heaven and Earth Inkstone?

Is that an inkstone?

“Buddha, what is this grey slab in your hand?

It seems extraordinary to your disciple!” Jiang Liu asked Randeng Buddha, his heart having been moved by the thought.

“Slab?” Randeng Buddha looked at the Heaven and Earth Inkstone in his hand upon hearing Jiang Liu’s question and said, “Slab? free𝑤ebnovel.com

What is that?

This is not a slab, but the Heaven and Earth Inkstone!”

“Heaven and Earth Inkstone?

So, this is an inkstone, right?” Randeng Buddha’s words made Jiang Liu realize that the world in Journey to the West did not have bricks.

But these were all minor details, unworthy of concern.

“Indeed, this is an inkstone!” Randeng Buddha nodded and said.

“Then, could Buddha do me a favor?” With Randeng Buddha’s reply as expected, Jiang Liu promptly asked.

“What is it?” Randeng Buddha inquired.

“Wukong, bring the Map of Mountains and Rivers here!” Jiang Liu called out to Sun Wukong.

“Alright, Master!”

Since Sun Wukong was the one who always activated the Map of Mountains and Rivers, he had been keeping it with him.

As he spoke, he took out the Map of Mountains and Rivers.

“The Map of Mountains and Rivers?” Seeing the map Sun Wukong pulled out, Randeng Buddha felt a slight stir in his heart.

From what he knew, Xuanzang had the Godslaying Spear, the Green Lotus Treasured Flag, the Ninth Grade Merit Golden Lotus, the Ninth Grade World-Destroying Black Lotus, the Golden Flood Dragon Scissors, and the Map of Mountains and Rivers in his palm…

This Xuanzang…

wasn’t he a bit too rich?

Even as one of the Three-World Buddhas, it seemed the treasures he possessed couldn’t compare to the multitude Xuanzang had!

And who knew if there were any other treasures in addition to what he was aware of?

With a sense of envy, Randeng Buddha suddenly collected himself.

What’s going on?

He actually felt envious of the treasures in Xuanzang’s hands?

If envy was present, could there also be jealousy subconsciously?

Or even thoughts of scheming to obtain one or two of those treasures from him?

If actions were taken, wouldn’t that be falling into the trap of the calamity?

How dreadful!

The Immeasurable Kalpa truly is terrifying; facing the Journey to the West Pilgrimage Team, one’s mindset must be rigorously guarded, without the slightest negligence.

Otherwise, one might unknowingly walk right into a trap.

Moreover, the terror of the Immeasurable Kalpa isn’t confined to merely encircling the Journey to the West Pilgrimage Team; it threatens the entire world with the possibility of a killing calamity.

Otherwise, how could the fall of Maitreya Buddha be explained?

“Buddha…”

Leaving aside the thoughts in Randeng Buddha’s heart and after taking the Map of Mountains and Rivers, Jiang Liu presented it to Randeng and said, “Since Buddha has a fine inkstone, I wonder if you could paint a picture for this disciple?”

“Paint a picture?” Looking at Jiang Liu with some astonishment, Randeng didn’t understand why he suddenly wanted a painting on the Map of Mountains and Rivers.

“Buddha, it’s like this.

I have been on the Journey to the West for a full five years now, but I have yet to cover even half of the distance.

The disciple truly yearns for the sight of the Great Thunder Monastery!”

“Therefore, I hope Buddha can paint the scenery of the Great Thunder Monastery for me, so I may admire it in advance and avoid making a fool of myself when I finally arrive there in all its solemn grandeur!”

As Randeng Buddha looked at him quizzically, Jiang Liu continued to explain.

“If that is the case, it shall be done!” Hearing Jiang Liu’s words, Randeng Buddha thought about it and found it reasonable.

Most importantly, it wasn’t a difficult task for him, so Randeng Buddha nodded in agreement.

“However…”

Having just nodded, Randeng Buddha’s tone shifted, “The Heaven and Earth Inkstone is indeed a Supreme Treasure, but without a matching brush and ink, it would be a waste.

If you could slay the North Sea Ink Dragon, take its Ink Blood, and borrow the Vermilion Pen from the Jade Emperor, it would be perfect!”

“The North Sea Ink Dragon?

The Vermilion Pen in the hands of the Jade Emperor?” Hearing Randeng Buddha’s words, Jiang Liu felt a stirring in his heart and was secretly delighted.

Since Randeng Buddha mentioned it, there must be hope, right?

The Map of Mountains and Rivers relates to the difficulty of the instance; by asking Randeng Buddha to paint the Great Thunder Monastery, Jiang Liu naturally wanted to harness the power of the Heaven and Earth Inkstone to increase the instance’s difficulty.

But, should he obtain such things as the Vermilion Pen and Ink Blood, creating the perfect conditions, that would be even better.

“Alright, you go and obtain the Ink Blood and Vermilion Pen.

Should you succeed, I will paint for you!” Seeing Jiang Liu’s expression, Randeng Buddha knew he was tempted and nodded slightly.

As soon as Randeng Buddha finished speaking, he soared into the sky and left.

Hint: Quest “Painting” has been triggered.

Objective: Successfully obtain the Ink Blood of the North Sea Ink Dragon and the Vermilion Pen from the hands of the Jade Emperor.

Combine with the Heaven and Earth Inkstone to paint.

If successful, gain 300 million Experience Points and 1 Legendary Level Treasure Chest.

Following Randeng Buddha’s departure, the system’s notification rang out at this moment, indicating an actively triggered quest.

The reward of 300 million Experience Points made Jiang Liu nod inwardly.

Indeed, at this level, it seemed that only quests were the fastest way to accrue Experience Points.

“Master, what shall we do next?” Understanding his master’s intent, Sun Wukong inquired.

“We do not yet know the extent of that Ink Dragon’s Cultivation Level.

However, since Randeng Buddha has sent us, he must believe in our strength.

Disciples, let us first head to the shores of the North Sea and obtain the Ink Blood!” said Jiang Liu.

Comparatively, it seemed like a simpler task to acquire the Ink Blood.

The disciples, naturally not one to object to Jiang Liu’s words, nodded and promptly the Journey to the West Pilgrimage Team ascended into the sky, flying towards the North Sea.

As for the three disciples, Sun Wukong and the others, they flew up by mounting clouds, while Jiang Liu?

He rode on the back of the White Dragon Horse.

With the horse’s hooves generating clouds, the speed was similarly swift, flying in the direction of the North Sea.

When the Journey to the West Pilgrimage Team traveled west, their pace was incredibly slow, covering at most thirty to fifty miles in a day.

However, their flight to the North Sea was ludicrously fast, crossing thousands of miles in the blink of an eye.

Jiang Liu had not heard of the Ink Dragon of the North Sea shores and it seemed not to be mentioned in the original Journey to the West as well.

Jiang Liu inquired, and even Sun Wukong and Sha Wujing did not know.

Zhu Bajie, on the other hand, nodded and said, “Master, I heard something about this North Sea Ink Dragon back when I held the post of Marshal Tianpeng.

It seems to be a Great Demon from the Mortal World with a Cultivation Level of the Great Luo Realm!”

“Elder brother is correct!” As Zhu Bajie finished speaking, the White Dragon Horse beneath Jiang Liu also nodded in agreement.

“Indeed, Xiaobai is from the Western Sea Dragon Palace, the third Crown Prince.

All four Dragon Kings are his brothers, so he should know more details!” Zhu Bajie said naturally, nodding as White Dragon Horse finished speaking.

“That’s true!” Zhu Bajie’s words caused Jiang Liu to nod in agreement.

Petting the White Dragon Horse’s head, he asked, “Xiaobai, do you know about this North Sea Ink Dragon?

Tell us about it, will you?”

“Master, the North Sea Ink Dragon is actually not a pure Dragon Clan member,” the White Dragon Horse began, explaining.

“It is said that in Ancient Times, a Great Supernatural Power Expert observed the strength of the Dragon Clan and was inspired to splash ink and sketch a dragon.

Over time, as the Ink Dragon absorbed the essence of heaven and earth, and the quintessence of the sun and moon, it left the painting and transformed into a Demon Dragon!”

“Elder brother speaks the truth.

This Ink Dragon’s Cultivation Level has reached the Great Luo Realm, making it a rare expert in the world.

Fortunately, it harbors no ambition or territorial greed, merely residing in the North Sea, thus the Heavenly Court has not sent forces to suppress it…”

“So it is, a dragon born from a painting possessing such an opportunity is quite remarkable indeed!” Upon hearing White Dragon Horse’s words, Jiang Liu nodded with understanding.

Given this, if it is possible to spare the creature’s life, there’s no need to strike it down relentlessly.
