Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything

```

There is no right or wrong; it's just the perspectives of the Human Clan and Demon Clan that differ.

From the humans' viewpoint, Lady White Bones's actions are undoubtedly wicked to the extreme. However, from the Demon Clan's perspective, everything she did was justified.

Just like humans hunting animals for meat seems natural, but from those animals' perspectives, who lost their families, aren't humans also evil to the extreme?

Lady White Bones's strength was still commendable. If she could be recruited, she would become a valuable ally in the future.

Therefore, after Lady White Bones promised no longer to consume humans, Jiang Liu didn't insist on killing her and allowed her a chance to live.

"Thank you, Little Monk! I'll never forget this great kindness and favor!" Lady White Bones spoke out and watched as Jiang Liu left with the old man and the young girl, loudly expressing her gratitude.

Indeed, gratitude was what Lady White Bones sincerely felt towards Jiang Liu.

He could have easily killed her but chose to spare her life instead, and for that, she was genuinely thankful.

Moreover, Lady White Bones discovered something very mystical about Jiang Liu and his companions—their true strength was inversely proportional to what they appeared to display.

For instance, Sha Wujing, despite being the bulkiest, turned out to be the weakest, while Sun Wukong looked thin and short, unimpressive, yet was the strongest.

Among them, Jiang Liu appeared humble and polite, but when dealing with hundreds of Little Demons, without exception, he only caused them severe injuries and unconsciousness without taking their lives.

This control over his own power had reached a jaw-dropping level.

So, based on the inverse relationship between their strengths and appearances, could it be that the Little Monk was the most formidable?

Otherwise, why would all three demons refer to him as their master and seem so obedient to his words?

"I was quite lucky this time around!" Thinking back on how she narrowly escaped death, Lady White Bones felt a mix of amazement and residual fear.

"Milady, are we, are we truly never going to eat humans again?"

Watching Jiang Liu and his group walking away, a maidservant standing next to Lady White Bones hesitated for a moment before asking.

"Of course, do my words count for nothing!? Since I promised, I will certainly keep my word!" Lady White Bones nodded and affirmed.

...

Setting aside whatever was happening with Lady White Bones, meanwhile, Jiang Liu and companions took a detour and returned to the base of White Tiger Ridge, safely delivering the old man and the young girl back home.

Understandably, the family was overwhelmingly grateful.

Hint: Mission "Reunion" completed, earned Experience Points 100,000, received a Perfect Level Treasure Chest*1.

As Jiang Liu returned the old man and young girl home, almost concurrently, the system's notification sounded, pleasing Jiang Liu.

Out of deep gratitude, the family of three insisted on warmly inviting Jiang Liu's group for a meal.

Hearing their invitation, Jiang Liu pondered for a moment before nodding in agreement.

Firstly, staying for a meal could kill some time, and secondly, it allowed the family's gratefulness to be somewhat relieved, making them feel better.

Despite the home-cooked meal being quite inferior to Jiang Liu's own cooking, with coarse salt used that lent a bitter taste to the dishes, Jiang Liu did not show any disdain but ate all the food unflinchingly.

In contrast, Sun Wukong, and his companions showed dissatisfaction with the meal.

Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie looked as if they wanted to speak, but Jiang Liu glared at them, signaling them to remain silent.

As the saying goes, a gift of goose feathers sent from a thousand miles away embodies the giver's deep respect. Perhaps these dishes may seem unpalatable to them, simple and bland, but for people in this era, having something to eat was good enough.

This meal represented the elderly couple's best hospitality. If they were to utter any words of disdain, wouldn't it be like driving people to death from shame?

"Thank you for your hospitality, but this humble monk must continue his journey westward, so I'll not impose any further!" After the meal, Jiang Liu got back on the White Dragon Horse, clasped his hands together, and thanked the family.

Then, with their thanks and farewells, he turned and resumed his journey to the West.

Sitting on the White Dragon Horse, Jiang Liu silently called 'Inventory Space' in his mind, and indeed, there was one more treasure chest in the Inventory Space.

It was just a Perfect Level Chest, so Jiang Liu wasn't expecting much; it was better than nothing.

Upon opening the chest, Jiang Liu quickly pulled out a pair of palm-sized wings, black bone in design and quite cool-looking, albeit giving off an aura of evil and ominousness.

Of course, as Jiang Liu's gaze fell upon them, the corresponding Attribute Information also appeared before him.

Black Sky Bone Wings (Perfect Level): Special Equipment, requires level 31, once equipped, can be unfurled for flight capability, flight speed dependent on one's Cultivation Level, durability 35/55.

```

"Huh? What a great item!" Seeing the attribute information for this pair of black bone wings, Jiang Liu's eyes lit up, feeling like he'd hit the jackpot.

It seemed that, after playing mahjong for so long and losing for so long, his luck had finally turned around?

Although there were no effects for attack and defense, flying is the dream of all humanity, right?

With this equipment, wouldn't I be able to fly!?

I'm currently level 34, and according to the human cultivation level classification, I'm at the Controlling-Law Realm, which implies I can cultivate spells.

And the level above that is the Divinity Transformation Realm.

Back in Great Tang, when exorcising demons on Foutu Mountain and from my meeting with Princess Gaoyang a few days ago, I could confirm that at the Divinity Transformation Realm, one could control artifacts to fly. Experience new stories with My Virtual Library Empire

Does that mean, barring any mishaps, once I level up to 41, I could also try to learn a Controlling Artifacts Flight skill?

However, no matter what, being able to get a flight-related piece of equipment in advance is still very exciting.

What's more important is, aside from my ten main equipment slots, I have three special equipment slots, and now with this Black Sky Bone Wings equipped, all my special equipment slots are finally filled.

Skill Bookcase, Ninth Grade Black Lotus, and now these Black Sky Bone Wings.

"Huh? Master? What is this thing!?" Watching Jiang Liu pull out the Black Sky Bone Wings from the Treasure Box, Sun Wukong asked with curiosity.

Seeing the Black Sky Bone Wings, Sun Wukong was very pleased.

"This is a special Dharma Treasure that can be used for flight. As long as one's at the Controlling-Law Realm, they can use it!" Hearing Sun Wukong's question, Jiang Liu explained.

"It's only for flight? That's not very useful!" Sun Wukong's enthusiasm dropped significantly upon hearing Jiang Liu's words.

Flight? The speed of Sun Wukong's Somersault Cloud is second to none in the Three Realms and Six Paths.

"Once you reach the Divinity Transformation Realm, you can maneuver your own Dharma Treasures to fly. Besides flying, Dharma Treasures can also have offensive and defensive effects, so this thing is indeed a bit redundant!"

Not only Sun Wukong felt this way, but Zhu Bajie, upon hearing about the function of the Black Sky Bone Wings, also shook his head.

Sha Wujing naturally didn't say anything.

Although he usually eats and plays mahjong together with the others, Sha Wujing still felt there was a distance between him and his master, so he generally didn't speak up.

"It was just a Perfect Level treasure chest, what good items could I have hoped for? Having these Black Sky Bone Wings isn't bad at all, at least I can fly now!"

Even though Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie didn't seem to think much of the Black Sky Bone Wings, Jiang Liu himself was still quite content.

And, to take a step back, if I do decide to learn Controlling Artifacts Flight later on, would I need to invest a skill point in it?

Now that I have these Black Sky Bone Wings, I can rely on the equipment's function to fly, won't this save me a skill point in the future?

Thinking it over, it seems like a pretty good deal, doesn't it?

Without further ado, Jiang Liu immediately equipped the Black Iron Bone Wings in his last special equipment slot, and then, he activated the equipment's function.

The black wings suddenly unfolded behind Jiang Liu, and then they began to vibrate.

Strangely enough, despite seeming completely open to the wind, as soon as they fluttered, Jiang Liu actually took off, and after a few more flutters, he flew higher and higher.

For his first flight, Jiang Liu found the sensation to be incredibly marvelous; soaring into the sky and looking down at the landscape from on high offered a completely different viewpoint.

Looking down at the mountains and rivers beneath his feet, Jiang Liu felt an indescribable sense of delight.

"Now I, too, can fly!" After freely flying for a while in mid-air and thoroughly enjoying the sensation of flight, Jiang Liu softly muttered to himself.

Of course, in Jiang Liu's opinion, the appearance of these Black Sky Bone Wings looked quite demonic, almost unsuitable for his status as a Holy Monk.

If it were a pair of golden or pure white wings, perhaps it would have been more perfect.

"Where did that evil demon come from? Take this, sword!"

Just as Jiang Liu was entertaining this thought, suddenly a loud shout rang out.

Immediately, Jiang Liu saw a Flying Sword cutting through the air, its fierce sword light shooting straight towards him.

"What's going on!?"

Caught off guard by the Flying Sword's attack, Jiang Liu was shocked, and in the midst of his alarm, he quickly cast the Vajra Mantra skill on himself.
