The Queen of Xiliang did not wish for Sanzang to rember her, so she planned to burn her last bit of spiritual sense as energy for the Transcendence Bloom's evolution before Sanzang awoke. That was the last thing she could do for Sanzang. However, an unexpected accident occurred during the resurrection process of Sanzang — the strong rejection reaction nearly caused the Queen of Xiliang's heart to leap out, despite her currently lacking a physical heart. Thus, the Queen of Xiliang chose another way, seemingly a better way, which was to have her final will ignite to catalyze the fusion of Sanzang's soul with his body.
This thod was more gentle and safe compared to Sun Wukong's, which involved forcibly enhancing Sanzang's physical body. In the Annihilation Demon Nation and while patrolling the Celestial World's Crystal Palace, Sun Wukong had obtained many rare treasures, among them were so miraculous elixirs that could greatly enhance one's physical strength. However, their grade was too high, suitable only for those above the Nine Patterns Supre. If Sanzang were to take them now, he might successfully enhance his physical strength under the protection of Sun Wukong and Sha Wujing, but it was more likely that he could not withstand the power of the elixirs and his physical body would be destroyed.
So when the Queen of Xiliang's soul completely covered the soul of his master, Sun Wukong imdiately stopped what he was doing, as his ti in the Netherworld World had made his soul's perception extraordinarily sharp. He had noticed that his master's soul was undergoing so strange transformation.
anwhile, the Transcendence Bloom, white as snow, suddenly circled around Sun Wukong and Sha Wujing before gently landing at the location of Sanzang's heart. Then, the Transcendence Bloom seed to extend a root which broke through Sanzang's flesh and directly pierced into Sanzang's heart. Fresh red blood began to flow along the root into the petals of the Transcendence Bloom. The white petals instantly turned blood-red.
"Big brother, this..." Sha Wujing beca anxious seeing their master's blood being absorbed by the flower, but out of caution, he did not rashly intervene and instead called out to Sun Wukong. Wukong, whose Heaven and Earth Fire Eyes were already open, was staring unblinkingly at the now blood-red blossom, his voice choked up: "Don't worry, Transcendence Bloom is completing the final fusion with the master. The strength of the master's body is not enough, and forcibly enhancing it would harm his future cultivation. So, the Transcendence Bloom has refined itself into a vessel, becoming the master's second heart!"
After hearing Sun Wukong's explanation, Sha Wujing said, enlightened: "Does that an the master will have two hearts from now on? And one of them is the very essence of the Transcendence Bloom, with its power gradually strengthening the master's body to match his soul?" Sun Wukong looked at Sha Wujing with so surprise and said: "Old Sha, you still surprise . Well, there's nothing more for us to do. You protect the master, and I need to recover, or it will have a great impact on ." With that, Sun Wukong took out a purple box from his bosom and put a purple leaf from inside it into his mouth.
What Sun Wukong wasn't lacking now were various Heaven and Earth Treasures and miraculous elixirs, and these were rely the spoils from the Annihilation Demon Nation. Chang'er's possession included a full quarter of the Annihilation Demon Nation's resources. The leaf that Wukong put in his mouth was specially used for the recovery of the soul and divine sense. When Sun Wukong awoke again, he was still in the ditation pose in front of the Stone Pavilion at the deepest part of the Peach Garden. Sha Wujing was sitting next to him, Zi Xia, the woman, had disappeared to who knows where, and Tang Sanzang was sitting cross-legged in the middle of the Pavilion.
"Old Sha, how is the master?" Sun Wukong's imdiate reaction upon awakening was to ask about his master. Sha Wujing replied sowhat gloomily: "This, this, big brother, I don't know how to tell you, you better ask him yourself. I really can't explain it." After saying this, Sha Wujing touched his shiny bald head, looking utterly helpless and astonished. Seeing Sha Wujing's expression, Sun Wukong felt a gnawing unease inside him.
Turning once more to look at his master sitting in the center of the Pavilion, Sun Wukong found nothing unusual whether he probed with divine sense or searched with his Heaven and Earth Fire Eyes. Getting up and casting another puzzled glance at Sha Wujing, Sun Wukong slowly approached his master and knelt on his knees in front. Looking at his unchanged master, Sun Wukong was overwheld with emotions, trembling as he said: "Master, master, have you awakened? I am Wukong, do you rember ?"
Upon hearing Sun Wukong's voice, Tang Sanzang, who sat with an upright posture, slightly swayed, then his eyelids fluttered and subsequently, he opened his eyes. Looking down at the person who knelt before him, Sanzang smiled, his expression still sowhat rigid due to the recently revived body. "Wukong, of course your teacher rembers you."
Finally hearing his master's voice again, Sun Wukong's tears fell like rain. He felt that all the effort and hardship he had endured were worth it, completely worth it. For his master, even if he had to go through it all again, he would be willing. But the next words from Sanzang froze Wukong's expression in an instant. "Wukong, why hasn't Bajie co back? And where has my dragon horse gone? It's getting late, we should continue our journey. The sooner we reach the Western Paradise to obtain the True Scriptures, the sooner we can save all beings from the bitter sea!"
