Chapter 542: Lion Camel City
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Moments later, w.a.n.g Mang arrived at Patriarch Subhuti’s courtyard.
Beneath an old tree, on a stone table, Patriarch Subhuti was drawing.
Seeing this, w.a.n.g Mang’s curiosity was piqued, and he hurried over.
However, when w.a.n.g Mang saw what Patriarch Subhuti had drawn, he was completely dumbfounded.
He saw a painting of a monk riding a white horse, a monkey, a pig, and a person.
Was this not Tang Sanzang’s four-person group?
To be honest, w.a.n.g Mang was very surprised. Was this how powerful an expert who was infinitely close to the Saint realm was?
He felt a chill run down his spine.
Seeing someone divine the future in front of him made his scalp tingle. It seemed that his master’s ability in this regard was very terrifying!
While w.a.n.g Mang was in shock, Patriarch Subhuti calmly asked without raising his head, “Disciple, are you ready to leave?”
“Yes, Master,” w.a.n.g Mang replied respectfully, “I’ve already broken through to the Golden Immortal realm, so adventuring in the outside world will help me to grow faster.”
“After all, I’m not like Junior Brother Sun Wukong. He’s almost catching up to me.”
Patriarch Subhuti chuckled. He stopped drawing and looked at w.a.n.g Mang.
“Your junior brother Sun Wukong is the son of fortune. Reaching Tier 5 is a given for him, and is merely meant to temper him.”
“If he obediently joins the Buddhist Sect, nothing bad will happen. Otherwise, I’m not sure.”
w.a.n.g Mang nodded respectfully. He even suspected that Patriarch Subhuti knew that he was not a member of this world..
In fact, w.a.n.g Mang had guessed correctly. Otherwise, Patriarch Subhuti would not have hesitated for so long before taking him in as a disciple.
“Go. Take care of your junior brother in the future if you can!”
“Act according to your ability. This monkey is clearly destined to be extraordinary, but he’s also a pitiful person.”
“As for you, I’m not worried. You hide your viciousness, and know your limits. You also know when to back down.”
Sighing, Patriarch Subhuti waved his hand at w.a.n.g Mang, indicating that he could leave.
w.a.n.g Mang took a few steps back and kowtowed three times to Patriarch Subhuti.
“Master, I’m leaving.”
Patriarch Subhuti nodded slightly.
Only then did w.a.n.g Mang leave the Tristar Crescent Abode. w.a.n.g Mang’s kowtows were sincere. After all, his master had taught him those divine powers, and even allowed him to choose from among them.
Furthermore, his master had even taken the risk to take him on as a disciple, and his master’s backing would allow him to travel this world relatively safely.
To be fair, w.a.n.g Mang felt ashamed that his master had done so much. At the very least, w.a.n.g Mang himself would not be willing to teach his divine powers to others. He would not be able to treat his disciple, if he had one, like Patriarch Subhuti did.
However, this also pointed to the fact that in the world of Journey to the West, the relationship between master and disciple was as important as a parent and their children.
After leaving the Tristar Crescent Abode, w.a.n.g Mang was somewhat at a loss.
He did not know where to go. His first thought was to hunt powerful demons and devour them to increase his strength. However, those who would be worth killing likely had some background.
Unless he was certain that his own backing exceeded his opponent’s, killing the other party would be risky.
“Forget it! Since I’m at the edge of the Western Ox Prefecture, I should be able to find some demons to devour.”
“Although the Western Ox Prefecture is at the foot of the spiritual mountain, if it’s a demon active at the edge of the Western Ox Prefecture probably doesn’t have much of a background.”
After muttering for a while, w.a.n.g Mang decided on a plan. The demons in the central region of the Western Ox Prefecture definitely had backers, so he would avoid them.
However, those that lingered around the edges and outskirts of the prefecture were a different story. If one had no background, there would be no reason to stay so far away.
With that thought, w.a.n.g Mang restrained his aura and flew into the distance. He would remain low-key to minimize the chances of provoking a powerful demon.
After all, even the Nanshan King, who was considered relatively weak in the Journey to the West, had reached the Golden Immortal realm. In that case, what about those who were considered powerful? Needless to say, they would be Taiyi Golden Immortals or stronger.
However, when w.a.n.g Mang pa.s.sed by a mortal country, he was completely shocked.
There was no one left in this mortal country, as it had been completely overrun by demons!
A thousand-foot python walked in the city, gathering groups of demons and monsters. Everywhere he looked, it was full of demons!
Demonic qi surged into the sky above the city, covering the clouds and the sun. In this world, it almost seemed like the tables had been turned. Humans were no longer the most populous group, but demons!
Just in this place alone, there might be tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of demons, who had all come together to build a city; one specially made for demons.
Judging from their auras, there were quite a number of Golden Immortals here, at least several dozen. There were also several auras that were even stronger than Golden Immortals!
w.a.n.g Mang descended from the sky and transformed into his human form, and then walked toward the vast demon city.
What w.a.n.g Mang found even more difficult to accept was that the forest near the city was littered with white bones and corpses.
When w.a.n.g Mang arrived at the city gate, which was filled with demons and surging demonic qi, he was stunned.
w.a.n.g Mang finally knew where he was!
Lion Camel Kingdom’s largest city! Lion Camel City!
Was this the f*cking Shi Tuo Kingdom?
There was no such thing in the TV series’ Journey to the West!
This was truly a country of demons and monsters!
At this moment, the system’s voice rang out.
