Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything-Chapter 711: Summoning Kunpeng

Who was the target?

Having a plan already established, Jiang Liu wouldn't hesitate, and he locked onto Kunpeng as the target for the loudspeaker.

"The frozen corpse on Zhongnan Mountain has fallen into the hands of Maitreya Buddha!"

A simple message was sent directly to Kunpeng by Jiang Liu.

Knowing how much Kunpeng was obsessed with and valued the Yuanling body in Zhongnan Mountain, Jiang Liu believed that once this message was sent, Kunpeng would definitely be unable to resist appearing!

Plan A aimed to eliminate the Joyous Buddha to break the schemes of Maitreya Buddha and the Great Jade Emperor against himself.

Plan B was even more terrifying, Jiang Liu was not only aiming to eliminate the Joyous Buddha but even targeted Maitreya Buddha himself.

Using a level 100 blue-quality Kunpeng to deal with Maitreya Buddha should be a piece of cake, right?

Kunpeng was an esteemed listener in the Zixiao Palace and by seniority, he was considered an elder to Maitreya Buddha!

To deal with a Quasi-Saint, naturally, a Quasi-Saint must take action.

Moreover, if possible, he might even achieve the task of avenging Zhu Bajie!?

…

Kunpeng, transformed into his Taoist Body, was lying in an unnamed cave, remaining still, in a very bad mood.

So many years had passed, and lately, nothing had been going his way.

At Flame Mountain, the True Sun Fire was unexpectedly collected.

Then he himself was struck down into the sea by a Heaven-Reaching Sword Qi, sustaining severe injuries.

After fighting a battle with Ancestor Minghe in the Netherworld Blood Sea, he gained no advantage.

Finally, when he found what he had been searching for, upon arrival, he discovered that someone else had beaten him to it.

"Sigh…"

Kunpeng lay alone, feeling increasingly frustrated the more he thought about it.

"The frozen corpse on Zhongnan Mountain has fallen into the hands of Maitreya Buddha!"

Just as Kunpeng was lying alone, silently licking his wounds and getting more upset, suddenly, a voice reached his ears.

This voice caused the previously still Kunpeng to leap to his feet.

What!? The frozen corpse on Zhongnan Mountain fell into Maitreya Buddha's hands?

"Hey? Who's there? Who's talking to me!? If you have something to say, come out and say it to my face!"

After waiting for a moment and hearing no further sounds, Kunpeng couldn't help but shout loudly.

But as he called out, no more voices came.

It was as if the voice he had just heard was completely illusory.

"No, the voice just now was definitely not an illusion!" Kunpeng pondered for a moment and then shook his head to himself.

Though he did not know who had spoken to him, the words were undoubtedly real and could not possibly have been an illusion!

Even though he felt the likelihood of this clue being substantial was slim, if there was even a one in ten thousand chance, he should go and check!

With only a short meditation in his heart, Kunpeng's form shifted, and he immediately transformed into his true form and flew out.

With a single day's assistance from the wind, the Roc could rise 90,000 li with a violent flap!

In terms of speed, Sun Wukong's Somersault Cloud was considered second to none in all the realms; after all, one somersault covered 108,000 li, an astonishingly fast speed!

However, if it came down to speed, Kunpeng's was the fastest in the three realms.

With a single flap of his wings, he covered 180,000 li—utterly surpassing Sun Wukong's speed.

…

Thump! Thump! Thump!

At Yellow Flower Temple, the attacks from Sun Wukong and his companions were like a violent storm, pounding toward the golden palm.

However, the Cultivation Level of a Quasi-Saint was not something that Sun Wukong and the others could withstand.

Regardless of the ferocity of their attacks, the golden palm, holding the Joyous Buddha, slowly withdrew back into the clouds, and they simply couldn't stop it.

"Buddha! Buddha!"

Just as the golden palm was about to fully retract into the clouds, suddenly, a shadow flew from the east. It looked extremely weak as it palely called out toward the sky.

This shadow was none other than Yuanling.

With Yuanling's appearance, and as he loudly called for Buddha, the golden hand that was originally retracting into the clouds hesitated for a moment.

The Maitreya Buddha concealed within the clouds was indeed stunned at this time.

Firstly, Yuanling'sappearance was unexpected, his weakened state at this place raised questions.

Secondly, and most importantly, Yuanling was shouting loudly, which was exposing his own identity, wasn't it?

"Buddha? May I know which Buddha has graced us with their presence? Disciple Xuanzang pays his respects to Buddha!"

Jiang Liu silently praised Yuanling for his timely arrival and straightened his Buddha's Robe, saluting toward the great hand in the clouds and called out loudly.

"Ah..."

As Jiang Liu finished speaking, Maitreya Buddha silently sighed in his heart, feeling somewhat helpless.

If his identity had been almost exposed, then hiding any further would be meaningless.

Immediately after, Maitreya Buddha revealed himself from within the clouds.

"Hehehe, Xuanzang, greetings to you all..." After revealing himself, Maitreya Buddha's face bore his usual kind smile, looking joyous as he greeted Jiang Liu and the others.

"Disciple, pays his respects to Buddha!" Seeing Maitreya Buddha reveal himself from mid-air, Jiang Liu's face turned solemn as he formally saluted Maitreya Buddha, and spoke.

"Pays his respects to Buddha!"

In their hearts, Sun Wukong and the others were inwardly sneering, but outwardly they maintained proper demeanor. Following their master Jiang Liu's lead in saluting, they all sequentially paid their respects as well.

"No need for such formalities!" With a still joyous expression, Maitreya Buddha spoke.

"Buddha, what is this about?" After paying his respects, Jiang Liu immediately pointed at the golden hand holding the Joyous Buddha and asked.

"Ah..."

Since his identity had been exposed, and Xuanzang was now questioning why he had intervened, Maitreya Buddha had mentally prepared for this and he sighed inwardly.

Of course, this was not apparent on the surface, as Maitreya Buddha said, "Xuanzang, you are not aware, but this individual is not an ordinary person, he is the Joyous Buddha of our Buddhist Sect. A slight deviation led to the eruption of a Heart Demon, which resulted in these actions. I am now taking him back to properly cleanse himself of his Heart Demon!"

What else could be done? Surely he couldn't say that all of this had been secretly arranged by himself, could he?

So, Maitreya Buddha had to resort to the excuse of a Heart Demon.

"A Heart Demon!?" For Maitreya Buddha's excuse, Jiang Liu naturally scoffed in his heart.

However, the conversation having come to this point, as a disciple, he couldn't possibly show a completely questioning attitude, could he?

"Hasn't Kunpeng arrived yet?"

Feeling increasingly anxious in his heart, hoping to continue stalling for time, Jiang Liu pondered for a moment and then sent a message to Yuanling.

"Master, I, I think something is not quite right with me!" Upon receiving Jiang Liu's hint, Yuanling stepped forward and spoke to Maitreya Buddha.

"Oh? Yuanling, what's happened to you?"

Maitreya Buddha naturally placed great importance on Yuanling's potential.

Although he was inwardly annoyed, feeling that Yuanling had caused his exposure, when he heard that Yuanling was in trouble and saw that his appearance indeed seemed very unusual, Maitreya Buddha was concerned and asked.

"I'm not sure, I feel as if my Cultivation has deviated..." Yuanling's complexion seemed to grow even paler as he spoke to Maitreya Buddha.

"Is that so? Let me take a look for you!" Maitreya Buddha's expression became serious as he nodded and spoke.

"Ruthless!"

In the chat dialogue box, Jiang Liu was somewhat amazed as he messaged Yuanling, saying, "I only asked you to find an excuse to come here and incidentally expose Maitreya Buddha's identity, but you, you actually managed to come up with the whole Deviation ruse?"

"No choice, if it wasn't like this, it would be hard to make Maitreya Buddha believe it!" Yuanling replied with a message following Jiang Liu's words.

As Jiang Liu and Yuanling conversed in the chat dialogue box, Maitreya Buddha was carefully examining Yuanling's supposed Deviation.

Things seemed to be coming to an end at this point.

The Joyous Buddha was still held in Maitreya Buddha's grasp, silent.

And what about the Centipede Spirit? He also remained quiet.

Seeing such a great being as Maitreya Buddha, the Centipede Spirit knew full well that he had no right to speak.

However, at this moment, the sky suddenly darkened as if day turned instantly to night.

All looked up to see a gigantic figure entirely shrouding the sky.

Kunpeng!?

Looking at the immense figure that resembled a cloud hanging from the heavens, Maitreya Buddha's expression shifted subtly.
