Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything-Chapter 273: Jiang Liu Ascends to the Heavenly Court

Dragon Spirit Pill (consumable): After taking it, Experience Points will increase by 8000000, and the effect will decrease with subsequent uses.

Seeing the attribute information of this pill in his hand, Jiang Liu was overjoyed.

A full 8 million Experience Points? This was a huge gain. He remembered that when he first encountered Master Lingxu in front of Guanyin Zen Temple, the Spirit Elixir he got was quite good, granting him 500,000 Experience Points, which was already a rare treasure for him at the time.

But compared to this Dragon Spirit Pill given by Kuimu Wolf, it was far inferior, not even one-tenth as effective.

For Jiang Liu, the kasaya from the Heavenly Demon’s Marvelous Look was actually not very high in effect, after all, the effect of the Pearl Kasaya was strong, it was just that the Heavenly Demon’s Marvelous Look had an added special effect of transformation.

To trade such a replaceable piece of equipment for a Dragon Spirit Pill? This was indeed a highly profitable deal for him.

Without any further ado, Jiang Liu opened his mouth and swallowed the Dragon Spirit Pill at that moment; almost simultaneously, a series of system prompt sounds started ringing in Jiang Liu’s mind.

Prompt: Gained 8000000 Experience Points.

Prompt: Level up by 1, current level 38.

Prompt: Level up by 1, current level 39.

As the Dragon Spirit Pill was swallowed, a series of system prompt sounds echoed in his mind, Jiang Liu felt a refreshing current flow through his body, much like taking a cool bath in the heat of summer, incredibly comfortable.

With the consumption of the Dragon Spirit Pill, his level also increased directly by two levels, reaching level 39.

Following the level up, Jiang Liu looked down at himself and silently commanded: Character panel.

The semi-transparent character panel appeared in front of Jiang Liu, naturally, his gaze primarily focused on the level section.

Level: 39 (358600/5000000)

"Indeed..." Seeing his level, or rather, the Experience Points needed for his next level up, Jiang Liu inwardly shook his head resignedly.

Now, the Experience Points he needed for leveling up had reached 5 million, which was getting more and more exaggerated.

However, anyway, leveling up to 39 was a good thing,

And, a full 8 million Experience Points, for Jiang Liu, also meant saving about two to three months of cultivation time, this gain was still very substantial, setting aside his level, just feeling the surging power within him, Jiang Liu could feel a great increase.

"Now, finally reaching level 39, from the character level, levels 41 to 50 belong to the Divinity Transformation Realm, right? I’m getting closer and closer to the Divinity Transformation Realm!"

After looking at his character level, Jiang Liu nodded in satisfaction inwardly.

Moreover, he was filled with even greater anticipation. At level 10, he had unlocked the inventory space, at level 20, he had unlocked the quest function, and at level 30, he had unlocked the character panel.

He wondered what new function level 40 would unlock.

"Master, what are you thinking about?" As the level consecutively went up by 2 levels, and while Jiang Liu’s thoughts wandered after consuming the pill, Sun Wukong spoke up, interrupting Jiang Liu’s thoughts.

"Oh, your master was a bit distracted. We really have to thank Kuimu Wolf, the effect of this pill is truly amazing!" Hearing Sun Wukong’s words, Jiang Liu snapped back to reality and responded.

"But it’s just a mere Dragon Spirit Pill, how amazing can it be? Back in the day, I, Old Sun, don’t even know how many such pills I’ve eaten!" However, while Jiang Liu expressed his admiration for the pill, Sun Wukong just curled his lips dismissively.

"Er, you are a great figure, incomparable..." Hearing Sun Wukong’s words, Jiang Liu’s mouth twitched slightly, and he inwardly shook his head.

"Indeed!" At this time, Zhu Bajie, who was next to them, also spoke up and nodded, "I heard that the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill concocted by the Supreme Elder Lord is truly formidable. Mankind consumes one, and it’s enough to ascend to the Immortal Realm!"

"Enough for a mortal to ascend to the Immortal Realm? So it turns ordinary people into Heavenly Immortals instantly? How much Experience Points does that require?" Hearing Zhu Bajie’s words, Jiang Liu felt incredibly excited.

Indeed, compared to the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill, this so-called Dragon Spirit Pill seems insignificant, doesn’t it?

Just then, a sudden flash of inspiration struck Jiang Liu’s mind.

He remembered during the Havoc in Heaven, when Doushuai Palace was empty, Sun Wukong had sneaked into Doushuai Palace, and committed a mischief with the pills of the Supreme Elder Lord.

At this time, wasn’t the Supreme Elder Lord also down in the Mortal World?

If he sneaked into the Doushuai Palace now...

Thinking of these possibilities, Jiang Liu’s heart heated up, if he could just get a Nine Revolutions Golden Pill to consume.

The cultivation level of a Heavenly Immortal? Wouldn’t that be level 61 and above? Wouldn’t he be able to level up more than 20 levels in the blink of an eye?

As the saying goes, ’men die for wealth as birds die for food’. High risk comes with high return, although doing this would surely offend the Supreme Elder Lord, but, after all, he was currently the core of the Journey to the West Pilgrimage Team; even if he burned down the entire Doushuai Palace, the Buddhist Sect would still go all out to protect him, wouldn’t they?

If one were to offend the Supreme Elder Lord, the benefit has been taken by oneself, and the matter of cleaning up is left to the Buddhist Sect?

Thinking it over, could there be any harm to oneself?

The more he thought, the hotter his heart became, and Jiang Liu’s anticipation grew more intense.

Then, after forcing himself to think calmly for quite a while, Jiang Liu analyzed the consequences of this matter in detail, and found there was absolutely nothing to worry about.

Though the road to the West, upon reaching Western Spirit Mountain, would be the time for him and the Buddhist Sect to finally confront each other, before that arrival, he was very safe indeed.

Even if he wanted to die, the Buddhist Sect would definitely go to great lengths to save him!

"Wukong, do you believe Kuimu Wolf is keeping watch at Doushuai Palace?" With the inconceivable benefits in mind, which were enough to tempt Jiang Liu, he broke the silence after a long pause and suddenly asked Sun Wukong.

"Indeed, that is so!" Nodding his head, Sun Wukong answered.

"For you, this Dragon Spirit Pill might not mean much, but for me, it represents a significant step forward in my cultivation level. Both emotionally and logically, I think I ought to thank Kuimu Wolf!" Nodding slightly, Jiang Liu spoke.

"Go thank him?" Jiang Liu’s words left Sun Wukong looking at him in some surprise.

Though his master spoke reasonably, Kuimu Wolf had said that the Dragon Spirit Pill was merely a return gift; was there really a need to thank him specifically?

"As the saying goes, nobody blames you for being too polite. What do you think? How about you take me to Doushuai Palace, and let me personally thank him?"

While this action seemed unnecessary, in order to make a trip to Doushuai Palace, he still needed a justified and dignified reason, didn’t he?

"Too many courtesies and one might be called a fool," muttered Zhu Bajie to himself, disapproving of Jiang Liu’s words.

Although being overly polite wasn’t necessarily a bad thing, there was a limit, beyond which it became completely irrational.

In Zhu Bajie’s view, the master’s decision to personally thank Kuimu Wolf really seemed somewhat illogical.

The master, a fool? Impossible. The master, who called himself Holmes Xuanzang, possessed a level of wisdom far surpassing I, Old Pig, by countless measures.

Thus, there must have been a deeper reason for the master’s actions, mustn’t there?

Zhu Bajie realized that there was a deeper meaning to Jiang Liu’s actions; naturally, Sun Wukong wasn’t foolish either and could perceive it as well.

Looking intently at Jiang Liu, Sun Wukong then asked, "Master, is there perhaps another reason for your visit?"

"Ahem, you deserve it; I’ve never been to Heavenly Court, nor seen the scenery of the Immortal Realm. If I could take advantage of this opportunity to visit, it would also be a chance to broaden my horizons!" Hearing Sun Wukong ask him directly, Jiang Liu coughed awkwardly and then quickly found an excuse.

"Master, you want to have a look at Heavenly Court? Alright then, let’s go!" After some thought, Sun Wukong also nodded and said, no longer asking further.

"Alright, Bajie, you and the others wait here for me; I will go with Wukong for a stroll in Heavenly Court and come right back!" After getting a nod from Sun Wukong, Jiang Liu turned and told Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing.

Upon saying this, without wasting any time, Sun Wukong took Jiang Liu, immediately performed the Divine Skill of the Somersault Cloud, leaped up and turned into a streak of Escape Light, and in the blink of an eye, they arrived at the South Heavenly Gate.

The speed of the Somersault Cloud was extremely fast, so fast that everything around them was a blur, making one feel somewhat dizzy and disoriented.

When Jiang Liu regained his senses, he then realized, he had unknowingly already stood before a majestic gate.

The gate had three large characters written on it: South Heavenly Gate.

"We meet the Great Sage!"

Sun Wukong had arrived at the South Heavenly Gate with Jiang Liu, and a few of the guarding Heavenly Soldiers and Generals collectively spoke out, greeting Sun Wukong with a bow and saluting him.

"Mhm mhm mhm, hello there!" Waving his hand, Sun Wukong was not putting on airs and, taking Jiang Liu, proceeded towards the South Heavenly Gate.

"Wait a moment, Great Sage, who is this Little Monk?"

Although it was the Great Sage who brought him, the guarding Heavenly Soldiers and Generals dared not obstruct, but with a stranger entering Heavenly Court, they at least needed to ask, didn’t they?

"What? This is I, Old Sun’s master; is there a problem?" Hearing the question from the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, Sun Wukong felt somewhat embarrassed in front of his master and turned his head, asking rather displeased.

"Not at all, you are too serious, Great Sage!" Hearing Sun Wukong’s words, the few Heavenly Soldiers and Generals quickly shook their heads.

"Alright, master, let’s go!" Satisfied with the answer from the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, Sun Wukong turned and spoke to Jiang Liu.

Speaking, Sun Wukong led Jiang Liu straight into the South Heavenly Gate.

Wasn’t his master keen on thoroughly observing the grandeur of Heavenly Court? Thus, they didn’t hurry along, and as they walked, they appreciated the view, flying mid-air, admiring everything at leisure…
