Chapter 196 Awakening of Memories! A Conversation with Myself from 5 Years Ago
"Zixia!!"
"Zixia!!"
Inside the spiritual energy shield, Supreme Treasure frantically pounded on the shield with his fists, trying to break free from its restraints.
His fist was covered in blood, but the protective shield remained completely still.
He has no magical powers, no immortal arts, and with only a mortal body, how could he possibly shatter the spiritual energy shield constructed by immortal power?
Even so, Supreme Treasure did not give up in the slightest.
It wasn't until Zixia rode on flowing clouds and rushed towards the heavenly soldiers and generals that Supreme Treasure finally understood his own feelings.
The Buddhist image in his mind dissolved a little faster, but Supreme Treasure didn't notice this at all.
The wind and sand are blowing, and he has lost his way.
The protective shield of immortal power dissipated, and Supreme Treasure fell into the desert, rolling several times before regaining his balance.
He glanced around; the wind and sand were blowing, and there was only endless desert everywhere, making it impossible to discern directions.
"Zixia!!"
Supreme Treasure screamed and ran madly in the direction he had come from.
The sun's light gradually faded, and the moonlight shone on the desert once more.
He didn't know how long he had walked, but he still couldn't see the end of the desert, nor could he find the Luoyang market.
To his surprise, after walking for so long, he did not feel tired at all. In fact, it was as if a power was constantly flowing out of his body, erasing the wounds on his body.
Every now and then, fragments of memories would appear in my mind.
At first, he didn't pay any attention, thinking it was just a scene from his dream resurfacing. But when the fragments of memory were pieced together, a strange look appeared on his face.
After traveling through the desert for a long time, until the afternoon of the next day, Supreme Treasure still hadn't seen the familiar Luoyang market.
However, the swastika Buddhist seal in his mind had basically dissolved by now.
"Phew~"
Exhaling a breath of stale air, Supreme Treasure gazed in the direction of Luoyang Market, a golden glint flashing in his eyes.
A misty aura emanated from him, enveloping the surrounding desert.
This fluctuation covered the dead trees, as if reversing time!
Those dead trees actually took root and sprouted, growing tender green branches and leaves.
His face was calm, and his eyes, as deep as a pool, concealed indifference and persistence.
With a slight raise of his hand, a golden flame, like a small snake, danced and leaped at his fingertips.
He waved his hand gently, and the little snake vanished in an instant.
Supreme Treasure closed his eyes and carefully experienced his understanding of the power of laws over the past five hundred years.
"Five hundred years of reincarnation has allowed me to fully comprehend the laws of time, and even my understanding of other laws has improved considerably."
He gazed into the distance and murmured softly, "Great Bodhisattva Guanyin, you've had a long and arduous journey."
Supreme Treasure murmured softly, and his aura instantly surged, completing the reversal from mortal to immortal.
The immortal aperture, which had been locked by the power of time, was instantly unsealed at that moment.
He gently shook hands, feeling the surging and vast power, and a look of joy appeared on his face.
Just then, spiritual energy surged in the distance, and two streams of light flashed suddenly, causing ripples to spread across the surrounding space.
"Um?"
Supreme Treasure looked in the direction of the two streams of light, pondered for a moment, and then stepped forward, merging directly into the void and heading towards the location of the two streams of light.
The several clones lived peacefully in the blessed land, and their power naturally converged on the main body.
Having regained his original memories, Ye Ming was naturally able to freely use the power of his several clones.
In the blink of an eye, Ye Ming stepped out of the void and appeared behind a desolate high slope.
He used the Dark Ancestral Symbol to manipulate the surrounding darkness, concealing his own fluctuations, and then looked with peace of mind in the direction of the flowing light.
Where the flowing light shone, crimson clouds spread!
High in the sky amidst the crimson clouds, Guanyin Bodhisattva, with her left hand in a delicate gesture and her right hand holding a jade vase, sat regally on a lotus throne, glaring menacingly at the man and monkey below.
Below, Tang Sanzang, dressed in a kasaya and holding a golden staff, sat cross-legged on the ground, muttering incessantly.
Not far from him, a handsome figure wearing a phoenix-winged purple-gold crown, a golden chainmail armor, lotus-silk cloud-walking shoes, and holding a Ruyi Jingu Bang (a magical staff), was looking at Guanyin Bodhisattva in the sky with a wary expression!
Ye Ming, hidden in the darkness, was slightly taken aback.
Isn't this the scene where he first met Guanyin when he arrived at A Chinese Odyssey?
The Sun Wukong of today is himself.
Only at this moment did he understand why the "self" of the past had seen another version of himself on the high slope.
A smile crept onto Ye Ming's lips as he murmured to himself, "Only in this way can I win Zixia's heart and completely master the laws of time..."
"In this Journey to the West, Sun Wukong's inner demons won't be able to cause trouble for long."
After sorting out his thoughts, Ye Ming, having regained his memory, looked into the distance again.
Before the red clouds, on the lotus throne.
Guanyin coldly looked down at Sun Wukong, who was holding the golden cudgel, and rebuked him:
"Sun Wukong, in order to marry the Bull Demon King's sister, you actually used your master Tang Sanzang as a wedding gift, and even invited demons and monsters to a feast with Tang Sanzang!"
"Do you admit your mistake?"
Sun Wukong bared his teeth, about to speak, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure on a distant mountaintop.
The moment their eyes met, Ye Ming subtly stirred the surrounding dark power.
He looked at himself from five hundred years ago, that is, Sun Wukong, and spoke softly:
"Just follow the plot, leave the rest to me!"
Sun Wukong nodded quietly, twirled his Ruyi Jingu Bang (Golden Cudgel) in his hand, pointed at Guanyin in the sky, and grinned:
"You gossipy old woman! I'm only sparing your life because you're a woman! Don't think I'm afraid of you!"
Seeing this, Tang Sanzang, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, placed his golden staff across his knees, tilted his head, and looked at Sun Wukong. "Wukong, how can you speak to Guanyin like that?"
Sun Wukong suddenly turned his head, glaring at Tang Sanzang with a fierce expression, "Shut up!"
Tang Sanzang's expression remained unchanged, and he said kindly, "You scared me again."
Guanyin saw the conversation between the two masters and disciples below, and indifferently pointed at Sun Wukong, saying, "Do you know that you have committed a heinous crime? You even stole Fairy Zixia's Moon Gate Treasure Box."
"She's clearly trying to avoid me!"
Sun Wukong casually pulled out the Moonlight Box from his waist and tossed it aside. "Since I can't avoid it, I'll fight you to the death!"
The Moonlight Box struck Tang Sanzang on the head and bounced off.
"What are you doing?"
Tang Sanzang tilted his head, then suddenly leaped up, grasped the Moonlight Box in his hand, and casually picked up his staff, saying to Sun Wukong:
"Hey, Wukong, you're being naughty again. I told you not to throw things around!"
"Ugh! Littering is wrong!"
"..."
From afar, Ye Ming, hidden in the darkness atop the high slope, witnessed this scene and couldn't help but admire his own talent for acting.
However, this Tang Sanzang is indeed very verbose.
Most importantly, Tang Sanzang is long-winded, as if surrounded by a special law, which has the effect of destroying other people's Dao heart.
If one's will is not strong, it is indeed difficult to withstand such nagging.
He shook his head, withdrew the dark power that had been concealing his own fluctuations, and used the laws of time to temporarily seal away his power.
The plot is still unfolding and needs the identity of "Supreme Treasure" to drive it forward.
He looked at the familiar scene in the distance, and mentally prepared himself.
Supreme Treasure is back online.
In the distance, the story continues.
"Great Bodhisattva Guanyin, even you couldn't stand this guy's nagging and it almost destroyed your resolve for enlightenment. I'm enduring it every single moment!!"
Sun Wukong watched as Guanyin attacked wildly and then regained her composure, and laughed heartily:
"Now you can understand my pain!"
With a swift movement, he picked up the golden cudgel from the ground, twirled it with a flourish, and then slammed it down on the Moonlight Box lying on the ground, striking Guanyin.
The Moonlight Box flew towards Guanyin, but she simply flicked her orchid-like fingers, and the Moonlight Box flew into the distance.
Upon seeing the Moonlight Box fly out, Supreme Treasure's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly ran towards the distance.
He noticed that Guanyin and Tang Sanzang seemed to ignore him.
This made him very happy.
Just as the Moonlight Box was right in front of him, and Supreme Treasure was about to reach out, a Tang Sanzang appeared in front of the Moonlight Box as if by magic, grabbed the Moonlight Box, and ran away.
"This Tang Sanzang is no simple character!"
Muttering something to himself, Supreme Treasure waited for his next opportunity to strike.
Below, Sun Wukong casually glanced at where the Moonlight Box had landed and saw that familiar figure about to run over, which put his mind at ease.
Suddenly, he was surprised to find that, without him noticing, Tang Sanzang had already arrived at the place where the Moonlight Box had flown to.
Seeing this, even Sun Wukong's lips twitched slightly.
"Hey, I told you not to litter!"
Tang Sanzang ran down again, carrying his cassock in one hand and the Moonlight Box in the other.
Sun Wukong glanced at the figure on the distant desert mountain peak that looked exactly like him, then suddenly swung his golden cudgel and blasted it towards Guanyin in front of him.
Guanyin was furious and threw out willow leaves that blotted out the sky, wrapping Sun Wukong up like a rice dumpling.
As the story unfolds, Sun Wukong is directly captured by Guanyin and placed into the Jade Bottle.
After Guanyin put the incarnation of Sun Wukong into her jade bottle, a hint of murderous intent appeared on her face, and she said indifferently:
"Today I will act on behalf of Heaven!"
Tang Sanzang suddenly stopped, put the Moonlight Box aside, picked up his golden staff, and said:
"Sister Guanyin, please have mercy!"
"Who is without fault? He is, after all, my disciple. If a disciple makes a mistake, the master also bears responsibility."
"Please, Guanyin, spare his life!"
"If I don't eliminate him, I can't answer to the Heavenly Venerable and the World Honored One." Guanyin looked at Tang Sanzang pleading for mercy below and made a Buddhist bow.
Tang Sanzang met Guanyin's gaze, one hand covering his chest, "I won't make things difficult for you."
"I beg Guanyin to tell the Heavenly Venerable and Buddha that this humble monk is willing to give his life in exchange for another's."
Not far away, listening to what Tang Sanzang said, Supreme Treasure's face remained unchanged, his eyes fixed on the Moonlight Box beside him.
While Tang Sanzang and Guanyin were talking, he lay prostrate on the ground and quietly moved his body closer to the Moonlight Box.
At this moment, Guanyin stared at Tang Sanzang below, her eyes filled with surprise.
Her mouth opened slightly, and she uttered a questioning sound: "Huh?"
With sincerity in his eyes, Tang Sanzang met Guanyin's surprised gaze and said earnestly, "As the saying goes, if I don't go to hell, who will?"
"Please understand, sister."
"I do this simply to reform my wayward disciple, in accordance with the compassionate and fearless spirit of Buddha!"
After saying this, Tang Sanzang, holding a golden staff, slowly sat cross-legged on the ground.
He placed the golden staff flat between his knees and made a Buddhist gesture of clasping his hands together in front of Guanyin.
When Guanyin saw Tang Sanzang in this state, the evil aura around her quietly dissipated.
"Good, good, good."
"Wukong, I hope that one day you will be able to understand your master's spirit of sacrificing his life for righteousness."
Just then, Tang Sanzang, with a smile on his face, picked up the square-shaped Zen staff with both hands and then suddenly threw it into the air.
Buzz!
The golden staff spun in the air, and then, guided by a special force, its sharp end plunged straight down towards the top of Tang Sanzang's head.
Tang Sanzang's face was full of kindness, his hands clasped together in front of his chest, and he murmured:
"Namo Amitabha Buddha".
call out! !
Just as the golden staff fell, Supreme Treasure had already touched the Moonlight Box next to Tang Sanzang!
He stood up excitedly, when suddenly he heard a whooshing sound coming from above.
Looking up, Supreme Treasure saw the golden staff suddenly turn around and smash directly onto his forehead.
"clang!!!"
A crisp sound rang out, and Supreme Treasure's eyes turned white as he collapsed. The Moonlight Box in his hand instantly slipped from his grasp and crashed to the ground.
In an instant, moonlight shone down, shining directly on the Moonlight Box.
The Moonlight Box opened, and a beam of light sucked Tang Sanzang into it, disappearing along with the Moonlight Box.
When the night passed, Supreme Treasure woke up and immediately got up to check his surroundings.
Guanyin and Sun Wukong had long since vanished, along with Tang Sanzang and the Moonlight Box.
If it weren't for the power surging within him, he might have thought that what happened last night was just a dream.
"The seed has been sown; now we just wait for the plot to unfold and the final result to be achieved, thus concluding this first stage of the Journey to the West world!"
He closed his eyes and sensed the power of the laws he had mastered, among which the two laws he was most familiar with were force and time!
"Let's test this time law, refined over five hundred years, and see if it's really as magical as it seems!"
He murmured something, opened his eyes, and slowly turned the clock.
The clouds churned, and the entire world, under his control, seemed to be running at breakneck speed, as if an accelerator had been activated.
The newly risen sun was falling downwards at an alarming speed.
Before long, darkness enveloped the entire desert once again.
A smile appeared on Ye Ming's face. The mythical gift of mastering time, combined with the power of the laws within the Moonlight Box, allowed his understanding of time to reach a new and terrifying level!
Changing the entire world in a single day didn't consume much of his energy.
This is far from the limit!
"If I were to face Guanyin again now, I suppose I could give her a run for her money!"
With a murmur, Ye Ming activated the Space Ancestral Symbol, took a step, and arrived directly on Black Wind Ridge.
To ensure the perfect driving force of the result, the incentive of Tang Sanzang is indispensable.
After all, according to Ye Ming's guess, besides Zixia, Tang Sanzang's nagging nature is also a significant factor that cannot be ignored when it comes to Sun Wukong's inner demons in Journey to the West! (End of Chapter)
