Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything-Chapter 1035: Fahai, I am Xuanzang!

"Fahai, do you know why he has taken an interest in you?" After Wutian Buddha’s words fell, Jiang Liu turned his head, his gaze landing on Fahai, and asked.

"I do not know him! Right now, my mind is a mess!" Hearing Jiang Liu’s inquiry, Fahai glanced at Wutian Buddha, then shook his head with a troubled expression.

Indeed, from Fahai’s perspective, his mind was like mush now.

Originally, his lifespan had reached its end, which meant his life had concluded. That was understandable.

However, upon opening his eyes again, he found himself in the Demon Realm.

And powerful people were fighting over him?

What on earth was happening? And why was it like this? Fahai felt utterly confused.

Fahai’s answer was expected by Jiang Liu.

After Fahai’s words fell, Jiang Liu’s gaze returned to Wutian Buddha, saying, "Buddha, you say you were the first to take an interest in him, yet he doesn’t even recognize you. It seems he is not inclined to stay under your command."

"He may not want to stay with me, but that doesn’t mean he’s willing to follow you either, does it?" Wutian glanced at the golden bridge that stretched directly into the void behind Jiang Liu and spoke.

Looking at Jiang Liu’s appearance, the power of the saint’s Dharma treasure, the Tai Chi Diagram, was undeniably immense. Even Wutian Buddha had no absolute certainty of victory against him.

Wutian Buddha had fought Randeng Buddha before, so this mysterious man being able to defeat Randeng Buddha was proof enough of his strength.

After his voice fell, Wutian Buddha’s gaze fell on Fahai, "I encountered you in the Mortal World by chance decades ago. Although you have no Buddhist destiny, you possess a compassionate heart and have your own insights into the essence of the Buddhist Sect, which I greatly admire."

"Therefore, I gave the order long ago that when your life ends, my subordinates should bring your lost soul to the Demon Realm!"

At these words, Wutian Buddha’s gaze lingered on Fahai, scrutinizing him for a moment, then nodded in satisfaction, "Not bad, not bad. You’ve soaked in the Demon Transformation Pool for a long time, remodeled your demon body, and already achieved the cultivation level of the Great Luo Realm. I was not mistaken about you!"

"Wutian Buddha finds Fahai’s cultivation level astonishing as well? Does it imply even Wutian Buddha wasn’t entirely sure he could reach the Great Luo Realm?" Jiang Liu pondered slightly at Wutian Buddha’s words.

Fahai achieving the cultivation level of the Great Luo Realm also surprised Jiang Liu. He wondered if it was due to the Demon Transformation Pool, Wutian, or Fahai’s own uniqueness?

Now, from Wutian Buddha’s words, it seemed to involve both the Demon Transformation Pool and Fahai’s distinctiveness?

"Demon body? Have I already become a demon head?" Upon hearing Wutian’s statement of his remolded demon body, Fahai looked surprised and glanced down at his condition.

Indeed, transformed into the form of a strong young man with cultivation at the Great Luo Realm, the feeling was completely different from the old age he felt before.

However, realizing he had become a demon was hard for Fahai to accept.

Even though he could not bear the incense scar and lacked a Buddhist destiny, his heart devoted to the Buddha had never changed throughout his life.

Suddenly becoming a demon? It was more agonizing than death itself.

"What of Buddha? What of Demon? As long as the heart holds Buddha, even with a demon body, one can still achieve Buddhahood! Conversely, with evil thoughts in the heart, no matter how dazzling the Buddhist light shines, it’s all in vain. With your disposition, can you not comprehend this..." Upon hearing Fahai’s words and seeing his expression, Wutian Buddha spoke to Fahai.

"Amitabha, your words are very true!" Upon hearing Wutian Buddha’s words, Fahai’s expression improved slightly, nodding in agreement.

Yet, although Wutian Buddha’s comfort had some effect, becoming a demon body was still difficult for Fahai to accept.

Nodding slightly towards Fahai, Wutian Buddha’s gaze shifted to Jiang Liu.

Having already confessed everything to Fahai, it was now Jiang Liu’s turn.

If Jiang Liu couldn’t be honest, naturally, Fahai wouldn’t follow him.

In Wutian’s view, if Fahai was willing to leave with this mysterious person, he wasn’t one to force matters, even if it meant parting with reluctance and some displeasure. But he would respect Fahai’s choice.

However, if Fahai was unwilling to leave with this mysterious person,

then, despite the great strength of his Tai Chi Diagram, even if Wutian Buddha couldn’t ensure victory, he wouldn’t mind intervening.

With Wutian Buddha’s gaze upon Jiang Liu, Fahai also turned, his eyes examining Jiang Liu with a probing look.

Initially, Fahai knew little about his situation and everything surrounding him, so even when Jiang Liu pulled him away, he lacked the thought to resist and simply observed.

But now, with a better understanding of his situation and awareness of being in the Demon Realm, caught between two conflicting forces, he naturally needed to know who this mysterious figure in the black robe was.

To decide whether or not to follow him.

Stared at by Fahai, Jiang Liu believed that if he revealed his true identity, Fahai would surely follow him away.

But now, with Wutian Buddha right beside him, can he let Wutian Buddha know that the mysterious man is actually Xuanzang?

Should he quietly tell Fahai? With Wutian’s cultivation level being 99, no matter how softly he speaks, if Fahai can hear, Wutian will definitely hear it as well.

Even if he brings up previous incidents in the village to hint, Wutian Buddha would certainly, or perhaps has already, investigated what happened in that village thoroughly.

So, how exactly should he inform Fahai of his identity without letting Wutian Buddha know?

Moreover, would it be threatening if Fahai knew that the mysterious man is Xuanzang?

Jiang Liu pondered silently and then made up his mind. He believed in Fahai’s character and understood his respect for Jiang Liu.

Therefore, the identity of the mysterious man being Xuanzang is not something that can’t be revealed to Fahai.

Additionally, although the mysterious man’s fearsome reputation is known throughout the Three Realms and the Demon Realm, Fahai as an ordinary person should not know much.

"Sir, if you do not reveal your identity and tell me why you want to rescue me from the Demon Realm, I apologize, I cannot leave with you!" Seeing Jiang Liu remain silent for a long time without any indication, Fahai spoke, addressing Jiang Liu.

"Got it..." At this moment, a thought stirred within Jiang Liu’s mind.

It’s actually simple to hide from Wutian Buddha. He had been thinking for so long, he could just add Fahai as a friend right here.

Back then, he added Wutian as a friend in front of the Three-World Buddha without anyone noticing.

Naturally, adding Fahai as a friend in front of Wutian today, Wutian wouldn’t notice either.

Thinking of this, Jiang Liu wasted no time and directly sent a friend request to Fahai.

"Huh? What’s this?"

Looking at the friend request box that suddenly appeared in front of him, Fahai wore an expression of surprise, finding it hard to comprehend.

However, although he did not understand what this request box meant, after a brief thought, Fahai still reached out and accepted the friend request.

Once the friend request was accepted, Jiang Liu wasted no time and directly sent a text message to Fahai, revealing his identity.

Moreover, he advised him not to let anything slip, as his current identity must not be known by outsiders.

"Master Xuanzang!? This mysterious person before me is Master Xuanzang!?" Reading the message Jiang Liu sent, Fahai was secretly astonished.

After examining for a moment, alright, the Shadow Robe covered him completely, making it impossible to see his original appearance.

Yet, since he spoke in such a manner and did indeed touch on topics once discussed idly with Master Xuanzang, after thinking for a moment, Fahai trusted about seventy to eighty percent of Jiang Liu’s identity.

"What’s happening?"

Wutian Buddha’s divine sense spread out, naturally not letting the slightest reaction around escape his perception, allowing Wutian to clearly sense the flash of surprise on Fahai’s face moments ago.

Out of the blue, this mysterious man neither spoke nor acted, so why did Fahai show an expression of surprise?

Did this mysterious person do something, communicate with Fahai in a way unknown to him, slipping past his perception?

"What do you think? Are you willing to follow me away, or do you wish to stay in the Demon Realm?" Having revealed his identity, Jiang Liu promptly asked Fahai.

Fahai wore a thoughtful expression, pondered for a moment, then turned to face Wutian Buddha, saying, "Thank you for considering me, and thank you for allowing me to be reborn. However, I am unwilling to remain in the Demon Realm..."

"Wutian Buddha, since Fahai has made his choice, can you depart now?" With Fahai’s words, Jiang Liu spoke, addressing Wutian Buddha.

Without waiting for a response, Jiang Liu continued, "Wutian Buddha, you wouldn’t forcefully compel someone against their will, would you?"

As Fahai finished speaking, Wutian Buddha’s heart naturally felt disappointed.

However, he kept his eyes tightly on Jiang Liu, remaining silent, neither agreeing to leave nor disagreeing. freёweɓnovel_com

Under Wutian Buddha’s gaze, Jiang Liu felt as though he was seen through.

Unwilling to linger, Jiang Liu took Fahai with him and turned to fly towards the distance.

Wutian Buddha had no intention of stopping them, simply watching them leave in silence...
