Sun Wukong's words had a shocking impact. Not only was Transcendence Bloom shaken to the core, but even Sha Wujing, who was beside them, stepped forward to grab Sun Wukong's shoulders and asked urgently, "Eldest brother, are you telling the truth?" Long before in the Patrolling Celestial World, with the help of the little monkey, Sha Wujing had restored his mories and found Sun Wukong, at which ti Sun Wukong had told him everything about what happened after Sha Wujing went missing in the Pangu Realm.
Unlike Zhu Bajie, Sha Wujing did not bla Sanzang's death on Sun Wukong; after weeping bitterly, he did not express much else. Sha Wujing often appeared to be rather naive, but Sun Wukong knew that this was where Sha Wujing's true wisdom lay—he was clever in ways rarely shown. During the fourteen years of the journey to the Western Paradise, Sun Wukong had only occasionally witnessed Sha Wujing's intelligence.
This ti, Sha Wujing managed to suppress all his emotions, so on the surface, one could not tell what he was thinking. However, underestimating him would be a grave mistake; a person who could perfectly fuse with the World Suppressing Stele must have extraordinary talents. Among the six Domain Lords, only Yue Huangquan of the Netherworld, born and nurtured naturally, could achieve this. Sensing the excitent in Sha Wujing's emotions and the silence that had befallen Transcendence Bloom, Sun Wukong smiled confidently and said, "Yes, I am one hundred percent certain that I can resurrect our master, and even enhance his cultivation further!"
If this were the Sun Wukong of the past, even if his cultivation was the sa as it was now, Eight Patterns Supre, resurrecting the master would still be extrely difficult, or perhaps entirely impossible. In the past, Sun Wukong had indeed brought back a few people to life, like the king of the Black Chicken Kingdom on the pilgrimage route, but it was either with the Supre Elder Lord's Immortal Pill or by forcibly pulling their souls back from the Netherworld. Hence, Sun Wukong had no real ans of resurrection.
But now, things were different. For the physical body, Sun Wukong had Ye Zi; relying on Ye Zi's familiarity with life force, as long as he was willing, Ye Zi could fully revive a corpse, making it breathe as a normal human would, although that would be nothing more than a walking corpse. And for the soul, after spending so much ti in the Netherworld World, he had gained considerable understanding. In addition, with the heart of the Pioneer in his possession, resurrecting his master was definitely not a problem.
Upon receiving Sun Wukong's affirmative answer, Sha Wujing relaxed completely. Sun Wukong noticed that Sha Wujing seed to have undergone so kind of change, a very mysterious feeling as if a person had been carrying an invisible mountain that suddenly collapsed into nothingness. Moreover, the hint of hatred that had always flickered in Sha Wujing's eyes seed to have faded a lot. Sha Wujing gently let go of Sun Wukong's shoulders, stepped back a few paces, and in a voice clearly relieved, said, "Eldest brother, what do you need? I will help you with all my strength!"
Sun Wukong shook his head and said, "There's nothing special needed, trust in your big brother." At that mont, Transcendence Bloom finally spoke, "If Sanzang is resurrected, will he still rember ?" Sun Wukong smiled knowingly and replied, "No worries, our master's soul is extrely well preserved within your body, and aside from being a little weak, it's without any issues. Therefore, after resurrection, our master's mories will be completely intact. I wouldn't want him to resurrect, look at , and ask which demon I am!"
Thinking that Transcendence Bloom was afraid Sanzang would forget her, Sun Wukong patted his chest in assurance. However, after Sun Wukong finished speaking, Transcendence Bloom gently shook, as if disagreeing. She then said, "No, that's not what I an. If possible, I hope that when Sanzang wakes up, he will completely forget ! At least he won't know that my will has awakened again!" Sun Wukong was stunned by this, and even Sha Wujing by his side seed completely puzzled.
Transcendence Bloom went on to explain, "Sanzang is a Buddha. Although he once attained enlightennt through love, that is not one of the Three Thousand Great Dao. Even when Sanzang awakens, that is all there is to it. Though I don't know exactly what cultivation realm you are in now, I can feel that you are very strong, so strong that it's beyond my comprehension. Therefore, the path you have to take in the future is also beyond my understanding. As such, Sanzang's cultivation will beco a burden to you. Maybe you don't mind, but I do not wish it so. Only if Sanzang completely forgets will he have a wider future. A truly enlightened heart towards Buddha cannot harbor the small affection of mundane love; only a love that embraces all beings can travel farther!"
Sun Wukong remained silent, and Sha Wujing also fell silent. Then Transcendence Bloom continued, "My love for him led Sanzang to enlightennt through love, which is the lesser path. Love towards all beings is the greater path. I think, with your cultivation realms being higher than mine, you should understand this principle! Sun Wukong, I can tell you, I was born with this world and know many of its secrets. You are special, and so is Sanzang; you have important missions. Therefore, Sanzang needs, needs to completely forget !"
By the end, the voice of the Transcendence Bloom was choked with sobs, crying inconsolably. Everything the Transcendence Bloom said, Sun Wukong understood, and he had understood it for quite so ti. When Yi Xuan told Sun Wukong about the heart of the Pioneer and revealed so secrets of the Pangu Realm during their patrol in the Celestial World, Sun Wukong already knew a lot. Such as the reasons for the mixed powers within the Pangu Realm, the significance of his own appearance and existence, and the fact that Nuwa had refined the Five-Colored Divine Stone to nd the heavens, just like the one he now possessed.
"This is so unfair to you. It's also very unfair to my master!" At that mont, Sun Wukong felt a profound heaviness in his heart, a sense that he was being bound once again. And this ti, Sun Wukong could distinctly feel that it was the force of destiny—much owing to the benefits brought to him by the remnants of the Nine-Headed Dragon's soul absorbed by the Nine-Headed Serpent. "There's no such thing as fairness or unfairness, having t Sanzang, I am already content. Furthermore, I have had the pleasure of accompanying Sanzang in living a quiet life here for so long. I am truly satisfied. What Sanzang needs is a heart purely devoted to Buddha."
"What about you? What do you plan to do?" "I will burn my last Divine Sense, always guarding by Sanzang's side but you must keep my secret."
Looking at the pure white flower, Sun Wukong felt as if there was a suffocation in his chest, a suppressed rage held back for a long ti, an inevitable sorrow. Throughout his life, Sun Wukong's destiny had never been in his own hands; his actions had always been part of soone else's plots, one after another. To survive, Sun Wukong had been forced to keep moving forward. However, later on, he had thought this feeling had disappeared, as he had gained power strong enough to contend with the Law Enforcers.
But now, the feeling had resurfaced, and worse yet, it concerned his master.
Sun Wukong knew well if his master continued to possess only the Realm of Saints, he would not be able to leave this place, and the Pangu Realm was not his ultimate destination.
"I promise you, but I can't guarantee that the master will completely forget you after he awakens. I can only try my best to dilute the mories of you without harming the master's soul. That's the most I can do!" The Transcendence Bloom gently nodded and then said no more.
Sun Wukong took a deep breath and then gently swept his hands through the void, causing the earth at the center of the pavilion to split open. The Transcendence Bloom also began to float gently, suspending in mid-air. "Wujing, use the LiuLi Pure Water to lift the master's body!" Upon hearing this, Sha Wujing moved his hands to form Magical Decrees, conjuring a stream of water in the palm of his hand. He gently lifted Sanzang's physical body from the cracked earth.
Although Sanzang had been dead for quite so ti, his physical body showed no signs of decay, as if he were a living person, thanks to the spiritual energy of the Peach Divine Tree from Fan Xin, the Spiritual Power of the Transcendence Bloom, and the nourishnt from Zixia's daily collection of the Seven-Colored Clouds. Looking at his master's face that seed to be in a deep sleep, tears once again escaped the corners of Sun Wukong's eyes.
They carefully moved Sanzang's body into the Mystic Space, and afterward, Sun Wukong said to the Transcendence Bloom floating in mid-air, "Let out the master's soul, please!" (To be continued.
