Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything-Chapter 696: Twenty-Four Sea Calming Pearls

"So, are you satisfied now? Tell me now, where is Gaoyang?"

Observing the change in Zhuang Xueya's demeanor, Jiang Liu was assured of the longevity-effect of his own blood and thus, he spoke promptly.

"The Holy Monk indeed speaks openly. Princess Gaoyang is on a secluded island in the South Sea. I'll take you there now!"

Having truly benefited from the situation, Zhuang Xueya spoke and immediately soared, flying towards the South Sea.

"Master, should we…" As Zhuang Xueya took to the air, Sun Wukong beside him spoke up.

"No need, just wait here, I will be back shortly!" Hearing the words of Sun Wukong and the others, Jiang Liu shook his head and replied.

Considering Zhuang Xueya's level is merely 67, Jiang Liu wasn't worried about any plots.

Moreover, even if there were powerful entities lurking in the shadows, so what?

If several Great Luo Realm adversaries were to come, by buying an Equipment Trial Coupon, he could profit greatly, so naturally, there was nothing to fear.

"Alright then!" Hearing Jiang Liu's words, the other disciples nodded and did not say anything further.

Previously in the Demon Realm, Master spoke about nearly killing the Bodhisattva, a fact they were well aware of.

Thus, Sun Wukong and the others were genuinely impressed by their Master's ability.

As they soared into the air, Jiang Liu trailed beside Zhuang Xueya, flying directly towards the South Sea.

Although he felt that Zhuang Xueya probably wouldn't dare to deceive him, Jiang Liu found it odd that Gaoyang could be in the South Sea.

If Gaoyang were indeed in the South Sea, why couldn't his Treasure-Seeking Mirror locate her at all?

And why was there no response to any of his voice chats?

Something seemed off.

"Zhuang Xueya, from where did you learn of Gaoyang's whereabouts!?" As both figures flew towards the South Sea, Jiang Liu asked Zhuang Xueya.

Having received what he wanted, Zhuang Xueya naturally did not withhold anything and explained the situation to Jiang Liu in detail.

It turned out that Zhuang Xueya, by a fortunate coincidence, had come to the South Sea not long ago.

There, he saw two demon creatures fighting, both at the level of Demon Immortals.

Initially, Zhuang Xueya had no intention of intervening in the battle of two Demon Immortals, but from their conversation, he learned that they were vying to seek out Master Xuanzang.

They said that Princess Gaoyang was being held captive and immobilized on a remote and desolate island in the South Sea, hence both Demon Immortals were racing to find Master Xuanzang to exchange the news for a cup of fresh blood to prolong their lives.

After learning this, Zhuang Xueya intervened, dealt with the two Demon Immortals, and indeed found Princess Gaoyang on the desolate island in the South Sea.

Having confirmed her identity, Princess Gaoyang asked him to inform Master Xuanzang.

That is why the current scene unfolded.

"It sounds correct, but…" Hearing Zhuang Xueya's account, Jiang Liu furrowed his brows slightly.

Judging from Zhuang Xueya's words, there seemed to be no mistake, and besides, now that he had personally arrived, Zhuang Xueya wouldn't dare to deceive him, right?

However, if Gaoyang was conscious in the South Sea and even capable of communicating with Zhuang Xueya, why did all his messages fall on deaf ears?

And why couldn't the Treasure-Seeking Mirror provide any guidance?

"Forget it, regardless, let's just go and see for ourselves!" Internally pondering, Jiang Liu remained baffled but eventually shook his head, letting go of his concerns.

Whatever the truth was, he might as well see for himself.

Woosh, woosh!

Just as Jiang Liu and Zhuang Xueya were flying through mid-air, suddenly, two enormous shadows crossed the sky.

This chapter is updat𝙚d by freeweɓnovel.cøm.

One was a fierce beast, sprinting on black clouds through the air at high speed, its form bathed in brilliant blue lightning.

Following behind the beast was a pristine white immortal crane, pursuring it closely.

One chasing, one fleeing, both released immensely powerful auras.

"You accursed bird! Chasing me incessantly, do you really think I wouldn't dare to kill you?" The beast bathed in the lightning turned its head, its voice like thunder, loud and majestic.

"Hmph, spare me the nonsense, the twenty-four Sea Calming Pearls are supreme treasures of heaven and earth, and you think to monopolize them? And you ask why I chase you!?" The crane's wings flapped fiercely, its voice filled with anger as it loudly retorted.

"I haven't taken them, I believe those twenty-four Sea Calming Pearls are in your hands!" The beast bathed in the lightning shouted back loudly.

"Hmph, if you haven't taken them, why do you run?" retorted the crane from behind, its voice sharp.

"You want to kill me, should I not run?" The beast bathed in the lightning called out loudly.

A beast and a bird, in their pursuit and escape, directly flew over Jiang Liu's head.

In their haste, they glanced briefly at Jiang Liu and Zhuang Xueya.

Feeling their cultivation levels, both just being little fellows at the Heavenly Immortal Realm, they didn't linger on them and quickly moved towards the distance.

"Ah? Twenty-four Sea Calming Pearls!?" However, even though they disregarded him, the conversation between the beast and the bird as they flew past sparked a slight surge of interest in Jiang Liu's heart.

The twenty-four Sea Calming Pearls, Jiang Liu had naturally heard of them, weren't they the famous Dharma Treasures of Zhao Gongming from the Deification era?

To think they ended up in the hands of these beasts and birds?

Moreover, Jiang Liu could clearly see that in their struggle for the Sea Calming Pearls, their health bars had drastically reduced.

It appeared they both were about halfway through their health.

Character Panel!

Watching the beast and bird chase past, Jiang Liu's gaze fell on the trailing crane, and he softly muttered, pulling up the character panel of the crane.

ID: Cloud-Chasing Crane (Blue)

Profession: Demon.

Gender: Male.

Level: 83.

Equipment: ...

Due to the crane's swift speed, Jiang Liu only managed a brief look at the level details before the crane flew far away.

Meanwhile, the character panel in front of him also closed automatically due to the distance being too great.

"Level 83? Then, the beast being chased must also be around level 80, both of them Great Luo Golden Immortal level creatures!?"

Reviewing the level information, a surge of excitement heated Jiang Liu's mind.

Regardless of whether the twenty-four Sea Calming Pearls were really there, even if not, defeating two creatures of Great Luo Golden Immortal Level could still yield significantly high Experience Points and money, right?

The cost of an Equipment Trial Coupon should surely not be in vain.

More importantly, the twenty-four Sea Calming Pearls were treasures, not at all inferior to items like the Golden Flood Dragon Scissors and the Primordial Golden Dou.

In the marketplace, they were Dharma Treasures sold for over one million.

If he could also seize those twenty-four Sea Calming Pearls along the way, wouldn't he make a fortune?

With this thought, Jiang Liu was tempted to chase after them.

However, treasures were indeed important, but Princess Gaoyang was equally crucial, wasn't she?

After pondering quietly for a moment, Jiang Liu then pulled up his Severance of Corpses page.

Using the Absolute Immortal Sword with an Equipment Trial Coupon mainly relied on the equipment's power, hence, cultivation level wasn't crucial.

So, whether he went himself or his Good Corpse did, the difference wouldn't be significant, right?

Another month had passed, his Good Corpse had been leveling up autonomously, in addition to running dungeons, and its level had now reached 54, stepping into the Returning Void Realm.

After appearing, the Good Corpse didn't say much and immediately turned and left.

"Holy Monk, who was that just now?"

Seeing the suddenly appearing Good Corpse, Zhuang Xueya curiously asked Jiang Liu.

"I don't know either, maybe another cultivator with the ability of invisibility. Let's go, we need to find Princess Gaoyang!" Jiang Liu didn't acknowledge his relationship with the Good Corpse, and casually replied.

"Oh!" Zhuang Xueya nodded, not thinking too much of it.

After all, the Good Corpse appeared as a handsome youth.

Meanwhile, the Good Corpse used Controlling Qi Flight, chasing in the direction where the beast and bird had fled.

Also, during the flight, the Good Corpse opened up Jiang Liu's marketplace page, and purchased an Equipment Trial Coupon.

Then, it pulled up the inventory space, directly donning the Shadow Robe on itself.

Three Corpses.

Similar to Jiang Liu's avatars, hence, features like the inventory space and marketplace page were shared.
