Sun Wukong Returns to the Western Heaven; the Entire Journey to the West Team Is Wiped Out

"Enlightenment Tea?!"

Yuan Hong and the others were jolted to the core. Although they had never seen it before, the tea's fame had long since echoed like thunder in their ears. It was a treasure even the Saints coveted and fought over.

Gurgle, gurgle~

Yuan Hong and the others lifted their teacups and swallowed the tea in one gulp. How would they know how to savor tea?

As the tea entered their throats, it was like the clouds parting to reveal the sun, the mist dispersing, and the dark night sky lighting up once more.

Yuan Hong and the others felt their divine senses become clear and their minds grow sharp. The cultivation problems they had struggled to ponder for a thousand years vanished in an instant, and the shackles in their cultivation were immediately shattered.

Crack, crackle.

Crisp sounds erupted from Yuan Hong and the others' bodies. Terrifying auras surged out, and all of them actually broke through!

With such an effect, how could they stop? They drank several more large bowls of tea in succession.

They drank tea like cattle, forcefully pouring it down their throats.

"My heavens! That feels incredible!"

"Awesome! Hahahaha! I actually broke through!"

"Wonderful! This Enlightenment Tea really is miraculous. My comprehension of cultivation is surging like a spring!"

"Grand Unity Golden Immortal! I'm a Grand Unity Golden Immortal too! Hahahaha!"

They had broken through just by drinking tea. Yuan Hong and the others laughed joyfully, shouted excitedly, and jumped up and down.

After all these years, their cultivation had been unable to advance even half a step. They had never expected to break through repeatedly today. Yuan Hong's Golden Immortal peak cultivation had already surged to the early Grand Unity Golden Immortal stage, bringing tears of joy to his eyes.

"Big Brother, you'll always be our good big brother." Yuan Hong and the others knelt before Yang Jian.

"We're all brothers. Get up, quickly." Yang Jian laughed heartily. "Do you still want to drink?"

"Big Brother, didn't we finish it?" Yuan Hong and the others were stunned. Hadn't they just finished drinking the Enlightenment Tea?

"Is there more?"

Yuan Hong and the others were both shocked and delighted. Could it be that Yang Jian still had more Enlightenment Tea?

Seeing the expectant looks in his brothers' eyes, Yang Jian smiled and waved his hand, bringing out the entire sack of tea leaves.

Yuan Hong and the others sucked in a cold breath, their eyes nearly popping out of their heads.

This... this, this, this, this!

Was this entire sack filled with Enlightenment Tea?

Since when was Enlightenment Tea sold by the sack?

This was way too extravagant!

That tattered sack now looked nothing short of noble and elegant!

Only the most honored people were worthy of owning such a tattered sack!

"Big Brother, this is all...?" Yuan Hong pointed at the sack and asked.

"That's right, it's all here! My grandfather gave it to me." Yang Jian smiled proudly.

"Grandfather, Big Brother? Your grandfather is our grandfather from now on too."

Yuan Hong and the others marveled at the strength of Yang Jian's grandfather. He actually possessed so much Enlightenment Tea that even the Saints coveted. And he had given away an entire sack in one go!

It was as if there were a vast tea plantation at home!

"Hahahaha!" Yang Jian threw his head back and laughed. "You're dreaming! What kind of person is my grandfather? Even Saints have to call him Grandpa when they see him. You guys aren't worthy of calling him Grandfather yet! Just follow me wholeheartedly."

"Yes, Big Brother!"

The amount of information was simply too great. Even Saints had to call him Grandpa?

Terrifying. Truly terrifying!

They were also really looking forward to meeting this supreme expert!

The Great Sage Heads West to the Western Heavens, and the Journey to the West Pilgrims Are Completely Wiped Out

Lion Camel Ridge.

After Yang Jian and the others rested for several days, they quietly arrived at Lion Camel Ridge.

Ever since the Jade Emperor had ordered the Journey to the West Pilgrims to be held at Lion Camel Ridge, Star Lord Wugu and the Seven Star Lords of the Eastern Azure Dragon, along with the Six Ding and Six Jia and the various Mountain Gods, River Gods, and Earth Gods, had completely blocked the pilgrims' path forward.

The Journey to the West Pilgrims did not force their way through.

The three great demon kings of Lion Camel Ridge did not force their way through either.

When Star Lord Wugu and the others saw Yang Jian and his group arrive, they tactfully asked no questions. Instead, they quietly led their troops away.

At Lion Camel Ridge, inside the demon king's cave, the cavern was currently bustling with activity.

Tang Sanzang and the Golden-Winged Great Peng were taking turns drinking wine, cracking melon seeds, and discussing Mahayana Buddhism and Tathagata Buddha.

Sha Wujing was pouring wine for the two of them.

On the other side of the cave dwelling, Green Mane Lion, Yellow Tusk Elephant, Monkey Sun, and Zhu Bajie were sitting in a circle playing cards.

Zhu Bajie: "Three sixes!"

Yellow Tusk Elephant: "Three eights!"

Green Mane Lion: "Pass!"

Monkey Sun: "I bomb!"

"Pass!"

"Pass!"

"Pass!"

"Three with two~~ Hahahaha, I win!" Monkey Sun laughed loudly, dancing with delight.

"Wow, Brother Monkey, you're really something as the landlord! You're way too strong!" Zhu Bajie grunted unhappily. Why did he always keep losing?

"Hehe, of course. Don't you know that I'm the Great Sage Equal to Heaven?" Monkey Sun laughed heartily.

"Come on, come on, don't leave! We'll battle until dawn!"

Looking at this harmonious scene, did it look anything like monsters preparing to eat Tang Sanzang's flesh?

This was clearly a family gathering and feast!

In the shadows, Yang Jian and Yuan Hong sneered endlessly at the sight.

Yang Jian mocked, "What Journey to the West Tribulation? What eighty-one tribulations? Aren't they all scripted scenes? They're just playing house here."

Yuan Hong wore a look of disdain as well. "Exactly. Who doesn't know that Green Mane Lion is Bodhisattva Manjushri's mount, while Yellow Tusk Elephant is Bodhisattva Samantabhadra's mount? The Golden-Winged Great Peng is even a relative of Tathagata Buddha. How could they possibly fight and kill each other to eat Tang Sanzang's flesh? They're just putting on a show."

"Exactly. To put it bluntly, this Journey to the West is just Jin Chanzi taking benefits from all the major factions and going on a taxpayer-funded vacation."

"It's not merely a taxpayer-funded trip. The mounts of these great powers descend into the mortal world as demons and wreak havoc on the common people, leaving them crying to Heaven and Earth with no response. Only when Tang Sanzang's group appears and pretends to subdue demons and rescue them from misery do things finally calm down. At that point, the local people naturally convert to the Western Teachings."

"The Western Teachings prosper through this. That's their method of flourishing."

"Bah! The Western Teachings are truly shameless!"

"Enough. No need to say more." Yang Jian waved his hand and stopped speaking. "Attack!"

A streak of golden light suddenly blasted through the mountaintop of the demon king's cave.

Monkey Sun, Green Mane Lion, and the others were startled. They immediately dodged aside and grabbed their weapons.

Seeing who had arrived, Sun Wukong grinned. "I was wondering who it was. So it's True Lord Erlang of Guanjiangkou."

"Hmph. A little demon monkey like you dares to call out your Grandpa's name?" Yang Jian sneered.

"Ah-choo~ You dare provoke your Grandpa Sun? Today, I'll make you kneel and beg for mercy." Monkey Sun flew into a rage. How could anyone insult the prestige of the Great Sage Equal to Heaven?

"Hmph. You're nothing but a weak Golden Immortal, yet you call yourself the Great Sage Equal to Heaven." Yang Jian snorted coldly. His vast divine might erupted in an instant. The overwhelming pressure alone shook blood from Monkey Sun's mouth and sent him flying backward, pinning him to the ground so he could not crawl back up.

Then, a flash of silver light streaked past, and a monkey's head flew into the air.

Even in death, Monkey Sun could not understand why the two people who had once fought evenly, neither able to gain the upper hand, were now so vastly different in strength!

Why was Monkey Sun, who had once wreaked havoc in Heaven and been unmatched by anyone, unable to withstand even one move from his opponent?

In truth, Monkey Sun had not thought that much. Before his soul dissipated, he had only one thought: I've only transmigrated here for two months. How did I already die?!

Monkey Sun died and vanished completely, leaving Tang Sanzang and the others deeply shaken.

Yang Jian had really gone for the kill!

They had not even had a chance to ask his purpose!

Green Mane Lion was furious. "Yang Jian, do you know the consequences of killing Monkey?"

"Hmph. It's not just Monkey. You, Green Mane Lion, won't escape either!" Yang Jian turned and stared coldly at Green Mane Lion, killing intent surging around him.

"Then let's see whether you have the ability." Yellow Tusk Elephant also knew that this matter could no longer be settled peacefully.

"Whether I have the ability? Today, I'll show you my true strength!"

Yang Jian laughed loudly. The aura of a Quasi-Saint in the early stage erupted, instantly crushing Green Mane Lion and the others until blood flowed from their seven apertures. They dropped to one knee, unable to straighten their backs.

"Holy crap!"

Green Mane Lion, Yellow Tusk Elephant, Sha Wujing, and the others had never imagined that Yang Jian's strength would be so terrifying. He was actually a Quasi-Saint!

A Quasi-Saint!

How many Quasi-Saints were there in the world?

The strongest among them was only at the Golden Immortal level, and that Golden Immortal Monkey had already had his head severed!
