After that, things became easy. Jiang Ming was not a dithering old monk like Tang Sanzang. With the spider spirit Xiao Qi leading the way, they soon found the other demons.
With Son Goku's abilities, these demons were naturally dealt with in short order. They were small fry to begin with. Only the old spider spirit proved a little troublesome.
As for Xiao Qi, since Jiang Ming had promised to help her, he brought her directly into his Inner Heaven and Earth. In this way, he gave her the life she wanted.
She could also keep Jiang Ming's disciple Qiong Rui company. Qiong Rui's cultivation rivaled that of a Heavenly Immortal, while Xiao Qi was a perfected heavenly immortal. The two could play together nicely.
The scripture-seeking party continued on its way.
Their next stop.
They actually arrived straight in the territory of the West Liang Women's Kingdom.
A mess. What a complete mess.
The main thing was that Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing had both drunk water from the Child-Mother River. Now things were getting interesting.
"Ow, my stomach! It hurts so much!"
"Eldest Brother, save me!"
Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing rolled all over the ground in pain. This sensation was far too strange.
Jiang Ming already realized what had caused it, but he had to pretend he knew nothing. Fortunately, he never drank water indiscriminately.
Of course, he ultimately left the matter to Son Goku, sending him to resolve it.
Meanwhile, Jiang Ming secretly sent his primordial spirit out of his body to collect some of the water origins from the Child-Mother River and the Abortion Spring.
Jiang Ming had discovered that these waters contained the origins of creation and the world-ending origin. They would help him comprehend these two profound Great Daos.
Half an hour later.
