Chapter 872: The Impoverished Monk Xuanzang, Excels at Saving People Through Transformation

Many immortals clenched their fists, wanting to find those few enemies of the Heavenly Court.

But actually, these people are only a small part of the Heavenly Court.

Most immortals paid attention to this matter, yet had no intention of pursuing and killing Tang Luo and the others.

You should know, the Qi Luck Venerable is not a weakling; anyone capable of killing him naturally wouldn't be weak either.

Nowadays, the many immortals of the Heavenly Court are certainly not all Transcendents.

The Transcendents who came out of the God Demon Game number only a few hundred over the long ages, while those salvaged from the Place of Sinking as God Demon wanderers are more numerous, but still only a few thousand.

As for their identities, it's not a particularly secret secret; these people also have their own group.

Those who truly value the matter of the Qi Luck Venerable are precisely these people… oh, and also old acquaintances from the Mountains and Seas Realm.

Naturally, the old acquaintances of the Mountains and Seas Realm belong to the crowd that just watches the spectacle; they would absolutely not cause any conflict over the Qi Luck Venerable and Tang Luo and company.

Even though many people have become far stronger than before.

It's impossible for them to become enemies; with those three people, they could never be enemies in this lifetime.

They can only stand aside and watch the spectacle, and when necessary, they can still catch up on old times.

Although the Three Ninjas speak in a most unpleasant manner.

Many even have the experience of being struck by a certain monkey among them, but after all, they are old friends!

"Who knows how long a century of the Heavenly Court will last in other worlds..." Shunfeng Ear sealed off his hearing, no longer listening to those people's suicidal plans, and sighed.

The new era after the Mountains and Seas Realm shattered has little to do with these old lucky survivors, the old salted fish.

In the mission world, with the death of the Qi Luck Sovereign, the final stumbling block on the Jia Family's road to peak also completely disappeared.

When the world was in turmoil, the Jia Family's Number One City shone like a divine needle stabilizing the sea, radiating brilliance.

Without Tang Luo and company needing to intervene, after a month Tang Luo and the others successfully completed the mission, returned to the real world, and ended their twenty-seventh mission.

This mission's difficulty is not low, yet the quantity of its rewards is not tied to its difficulty.

There is no adventure where one could reap a basin full of profit.

Either a piece of equipment (or item), or a skill; the God Demon Game's "strengthening" is this miserly.

Wanting to become stronger, relying solely on the God Demon Game's rewards is not a good choice.

Following convention, take stock of this harvest.

First is merit power; Tang Luo produced a Chess Warrior, actually in stopping the wars of the world, if it weren't for the Qi Luck Sovereign's later interference, the merit power gained would be quite abundant.

Later changes, the plan fell through, but Tang Luo and company went on a great slaughter in all directions; after the Jia Family stepped onto the peak and began to continue the "Chess Warrior," it still brought Tang Luo considerable merit power.

Next are the rewards from the God Demon Game.

Ao Yu Lie's reward is a skill called "Poison Fire Enchantment," which can attach poisonous flames to weapons, counting as a supportive skill.

Likewise continuing his "Mage Strengthening Path".

Because all three already had six skills maxed out, Ao Yu Lie thought for a moment, then forgot the skill "Five Consecutive Slashes" that he had never managed to fully master, and replaced it with Poison Fire Enchantment.

Close combat is impossible to engage in; from now on there will be no close combat.

From now on it's just taking the fastest route, (together with Senior Brother Sha) stacking the thickest armor, and releasing skills at the farthest range.

Enchantment actually has no restrictions; it must be equipment or items recognized by the God Demon Game. Even a sheet of straw paper can be enchanted.

Zhu Bajie's reward is a stone called the Xuan Crystal Stone, purple throughout, extremely hard and heavy; needless to say, such a heavy and hard thing must certainly be refined into the Xuan Transformation.

To be frank, this reward isn't much; in the hands of ordinary God Demon wanderers it's pretty much useless.

Fortunately, Tang Luo and company like this kind of fierce, tiger-and-wolf-like thing.

When trained to the Xuan Transformation, smashing enemies to death is very useful.

Sun Wukong also likes the Xuan Transformation quite a bit. It's a pity his Golden Cudgel differs from the Xuan Transformation, already formed; you can't just grab any "hard and fierce" material and smash it onto it.

However, it's fine; the Golden Cudgel is Sun Wukong's innate magic treasure, bound to his life, and will grow stronger as its master grows stronger.

No need to worry about the master growing stronger while the weapon can't keep up.

Tang Luo's reward is the Blood Symbol Series skill, not new, but the old skill Blood Symbol·Healing.

It was directly stacked onto the original healing skill.

Thus, among Tang Luo's six skills, the three Blood Symbol skills—Flight, Invisibility, and Healing—have all reached level three, only one step away from full integration.

The other two, Swift Wind and Substitute Death, are level two.

The newly acquired Two-Sword Style skill is not used much in actual combat, but Tang Luo has been practicing it, and it is also level two.

Returning to the real world does not mean one can idle away lying down.

The Qi Luck Sovereign, a Transcendent, leaked information of great significance; Zhu Bajie took the Xuan Crystal Stone and went to refine it for the Xuan Transformation.

Tang Luo, on the other hand, met with Kong Ming.

Upon meeting, Tang Luo found that Kong Ming had regained the refined and easygoing manner of their first encounter, and was wearing a pair of glasses, the attire of a gentle, scholarly, handsome uncle.

"What's going on with you?" Tang Luo asked, pointing at Kong Ming's hair.

"It's a wig." Kong Ming smiled, "Sometimes you also need to change your image, change your mood."

Constant labor easily leads to sudden death.

"Oh." Tang Luo nodded, "Then take off that wig."

"Huh? Why?" Kong Ming asked.

"Afraid you might accidentally pull off the wig." Tang Luo laughed.

Kong Ming's face showed a helpless wry smile: "Indeed I shouldn't have held any hopeful expectations. Tell me, what have you discovered again?"

Every time Tang Luo makes a discovery, it always leaves people panicked, then plunges them into needless worry.

But that day, it really would suddenly collapse.

"It's not just a simple discovery. The era has changed, Kong Ming." Tang Luo recounted the matter of the Transcendents in full.

The more Kong Ming listened, the tighter his brows furrowed; afterwards he indeed took off the wig and loosened his collar.

Success in clearing the god-demon game, the god-demon walkers — transcendents are no longer lofty background figures, but begin to descend, and will intersect with the god-demon walkers.

That shouldn't be; this is no longer an issue of the newcomer protection period having passed.

Rather, it is a high-dimensional invasion, a dimensionality-reduction strike.

Don't look at Tang Luo's description, which includes the sentence 'I casually salvaged him,' Kong Ming would not therefore think that transcendents are a bunch of weaklings.

On the contrary, he deeply believes that each transcendent is a powerhouse that the current god-demon walkers cannot possibly resist.

It seems a meeting must be called." Kong Ming said in a low voice.

Oh, also, the fate has been completely clarified, part of it is poison." Tang Luo said, "This also needs attention."

Kong Ming reached toward his head, grasped at air; if he hadn't taken off the wig beforehand, this force would likely have ripped the wig off.

Saying that the strong among god-demon walkers are all fate-holders is somewhat exaggerated.

But at least sixty to eighty percent of the strong are fate-holders.

Setting aside other things, nowadays Huaxia can directly be called the god-demon walkers' largest and strongest organization—the Walkers' Council, whose council members are:

Chi Jing Daoist, Kong Ming, Zhao Hongmiao, Lu Jingting, Jiang Junren, Tang Yuhan, Sword God Nie Zheng, Shang Wuhuan — except for Zhao Hongmiao, Shang Wuhuan, and Tang Yuhan, the others are all fate-holders.

I will immediately convene the Walkers' Assembly." Kong Ming stood up, decisively said, "Besides, there may be something that needs your trouble, Master."

Hmm." Tang Luo nodded; he could guess what Kong Ming was referring to.

Time, a month passed quickly.

On the island where the inaugural assembly had been held, establishing the permanent councilors, it became lively again.

The number of people coming to this island far exceeded the previous time.

The number of god-demon walkers has been continually increasing, and this assembly is not only for Huaxia god-demon walkers but also explicitly will announce an extremely important matter, welcoming all god-demon walkers worldwide to participate.

Even with more people, it wouldn't fill the island; at most they couldn't get onto the central platform.

Auditing is definitely no problem.

On the island's central open-air platform, compared to the previous empty expanse, many stone chairs have been built.

At the highest position, similar to a podium, a stone table was built, with eight chairs behind it.

Representing the seats of the eight councilors.

The seats of the eight permanent councilors have not changed; they are still those eight people.

Tang Yuhan, who was not selected, also did not refuse this position.

Apart from Chi Jing Daoist, who does not attend to affairs, everyone else has arrived; compared to the first meeting, everyone's demeanor has become more composed and steady.

Kong Ming is now completely bald, his image much fiercer than before.

But don't misunderstand, he is still a refined and easygoing man, just his expression is now more solemn.

Moreover, Zhao Hongmiao beside him is even more solemn.

The other few are also unsmiling, only Shang Wuhuan has a hint of a smile.

More and more god-demon walkers gathered, even Chi Jing Daoist appeared.

Many realized that this sudden convening of the assembly likely signals a major event.

When the people had mostly arrived, Kong Ming spoke, explaining the matter in one go, without any delay, concise and to the point.

I don't know if anyone here has already contacted transcendents, but I can clearly tell you: don't harbor hopes of luck; in the near future, in other missions, we will sooner or later meet them." Kong Ming finally concluded, "Get ready."

Preparation, what preparation?" someone asked.

After a silence of two seconds, Kong Ming suddenly chuckled: 'Mental preparation.'

Finding joy in hardship is just like that.

It's not that Kong Ming necessarily thinks transcendents will be unfavorable to god-demon walkers; it's that transcendents are too strong.

A fierce tiger at the flank, apprehension is inevitable.

There is another matter that many likely knew long ago." Kong Ming continued, "Now the situation has changed; it is completely confirmed that part of fate 'is poisonous,' serving as a bridal gown for others.

Originally, the matter of fate being poisonous had already spread.

However, up to now, there has never been a case of a fate-holder being sabotaged by their own fate.

But now the situation is different; transcendents have 'descended'.

If one says, some fate are precisely the bait that transcendents have cast down?

Before, it could be said to be a growth stage; now it is already the harvest season.

This news is undoubtedly more serious than the 'appearance' of the illusory transcendents.

After all, transcendents have not yet been seen by everyone, but fate fragments and fate-holders are no longer 'rare creatures'.

What to do? You all must do something! We will listen to you and follow your rules!" someone shouted loudly.

I can only propose my suggestion, merely a suggestion." Kong Ming said, standing up and looking toward the sky, "Master."

A black sword descended from the sky, instantly piercing Kong Ming's chest.

It destroyed his vitality completely; with Kong Ming's strength, there was no struggle indicating any chance of rescue.

He died on the spot.

An almost complete fate, missing only a few parts, floated up from his corpse.

Amitabha.

A Buddha's voice sounded; Tang Luo stepped through the void, the bloodless Mysterious Transformation Sword returning to his hand: 'I, the humble monk Xuanzang, skilled in salvation, wish to sever fate for you all.'

It's just that the method is a bit fierce.
