Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything-Chapter 1056: This is so Sun Wukong
In the world of Journey to the West, it wasn’t particularly difficult to resurrect ordinary mortals after death.
As long as the physical body is kept intact and the soul is retrieved from the Netherworld, resurrection isn’t much of an issue.
However, the resurrection of Immortals and Buddhas is extremely challenging; the Heavenly Dao appointed Ksitigarbha to oversee the reincarnation of Immortals and Buddhas, and Ksitigarbha is impartial and strict. Even if the Tathagata were to request the soul, it would be incredibly difficult.
Therefore, in the world of Journey to the West, the best way for Immortals and Buddhas to stay alive is to enhance their cultivation level for self-preservation and to acquire things like Peaches that can extend life, rather than plotting for resurrection after death.
But for Jiang Liu, who possesses a game system, there is no so-called distinction between mortals and Immortals and Buddhas.
As long as the death isn’t a natural one, the Soul-Returning Spell can directly resurrect the target.
As Jiang Liu pointed with his Thunder Halberd, a misty light appeared and directly entered Tianxi Star’s body. Then, in Jiang Liu’s eyes, he could see the empty health bar above Tianxi Star quickly recovering to half.
Of course, everyone present could also clearly see that Tianxi Star, who was already dead, suddenly showed signs of life on his face, and even his injuries were significantly healed.
"This is impossible!?" Watching the scene before him, Emperor Ziwei widened his eyes, filled with disbelief.
Although Tianxi Star was only a minor character to Emperor Ziwei, he was nevertheless a dignified Immortal. Once dead, his soul should have ended up in Ksitigarbha’s hands, right?
But? Xuanzang merely pointed with his weapon, and Tianxi Star was resurrected?
Even if Ksitigarbha were willing to release the soul, resurrection wouldn’t be this simple, would it?
Stunned while looking at Jiang Liu, Emperor Ziwei felt he had discovered an incredible secret.
The Supreme Elder Lord’s Golden Core can extend life, and with his inherent status and strength, he remains aloof. The Empress possesses Peaches that can extend life, allowing her to rule over countless Immortals.
But regardless of who it is, resurrecting dead Immortals and Buddhas is nearly impossible, which is common knowledge in the Three Realms and Six Paths.
Who could have imagined that Xuanzang could defy this ironclad rule? Easily resurrecting someone? Reviving dead Immortals?
If his supernatural power were to spread across the world, perhaps all Immortals and Buddhas would flock to curry favor with him?
"Revived? As an Immortal, Tianxi Star successfully came back to life?" Beside him, Long Eyebrow clearly saw the scene, murmuring to himself and feeling secretly shocked.
As a Great Luo Golden Immortal Late Stage expert who had lived for countless years, Long Eyebrow was naturally familiar with the situation of Immortals and Buddhas falling and understood the value of Jiang Liu’s Soul-Returning Spell.
In terms of value, this Divine Skill might be even more precious than Master Zhenyuan’s Ginseng Fruit or the Empress’s largest Purple Pattern Peaches, right?
"Back then, I was assassinated in the Taoist Temple by experts sent by the Empress, then resurrected. Originally, I didn’t know how it happened, but now I understand it!" 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶
Beyond surprise, Long Eyebrow suddenly became enlightened, realizing how he had been brought back to life after his death as a Great Luo Golden Immortal.
At the same time, a sense of relief filled his heart.
As a member of the Ming Sect now, with Xuanzang, who possesses such supernatural powers, as the Sect Hierarch,
doesn’t this mean I never need to worry about death and destruction again? The Sect Hierarch naturally has the ability to bring me back to life?
"I never thought you could reverse life and death? This... this isn’t something that mere Laws Divine Powers could accomplish?" Emperor Ziwei pointed at Jiang Liu, speaking with shock.
Although he had long understood Xuanzang’s strength and had corresponding insights, this Soul-Returning Spell made Emperor Ziwei realize he knew too little about Xuanzang, even though he thought he had a good grasp of him.
With such supernatural powers, he could rally a significant number of Immortals and Buddhas to his side, couldn’t he?
"Hehehe, my master’s skills are numerous, not just these!" Watching Emperor Ziwei’s shocked expression, Sun Wukong couldn’t help but chuckle, speaking to Emperor Ziwei.
Hearing Sun Wukong’s proud words, while Emperor Ziwei felt stunned, he tightly grasped the Kongdong Seal in his hand. After a moment of silence, he said, "I must admit, bringing Tianxi Star to counter my Kongdong Seal was indeed a very clever choice, but you forgot the most important point."
"His cultivation level is merely at the Heavenly Immortal Realm. Although his status is sufficient, with his strength, how could he seize my Kongdong Seal? Unless you plan to act against me?"
"No, I believe with Tianxi Star’s abilities, he’s enough to take the Kongdong Seal from you!" However, upon hearing Emperor Ziwei’s words, Jiang Liu shook his head and replied.
As he spoke, Jiang Liu raised his hand, and the Divine Level Item, Double Fish Jade Pendant, appeared in his possession.
Then, Jiang Liu and Tianxi Star exchanged skills.
From Tianxi Star, a simple horsemanship skill was exchanged, but Jiang Liu gave his Silencing Zen skill to Tianxi Star.
After the skill exchange was completed, Tianxi Star’s expression changed slightly.
Upon acquiring the Silencing Zen skill through the Double Fish Jade Pendant, Tianxi Star naturally understood the function of this skill and secretly marveled in his heart. This was a supernatural technique, and a rules-based one at that.
"Your Majesty, it’s up to you what happens next!" After the Double Fish Jade Pendant exchange was completed, Jiang Liu took out his skill badge and handed it to Tianxi Star, saying aloud.
Receiving the skill badge Jiang Liu handed over, Tianxi Star nodded slightly, indicating his understanding.
Then, he directly stored a Silencing Zen skill into the skill badge.
"This thing is truly a good treasure! It can actually store any divine spell in advance!" Seeing that the Silencing Zen skill was indeed stored, Tianxi Star looked at the skill badge in his hand, secretly astonished.
This Master Xuanzang’s treasures are truly numerous, with all sorts of wondrous treasures, a dazzling display that seems endless.
"However, the Silencing Zen skill’s divine ability, though strong, is somewhat peculiar. After being used, it can’t be used again for a short period. This is a powerful move that comes at a cost, so it’s for self-protection?"
After storing a Silencing Zen in the skill badge, and finding that this divine spell could not be continued for a short time, Tianxi Star was secretly amazed.
Naturally, this is likely why Master Xuanzang lent me this skill badge?
This treasure, storing a magical or powerful ability in advance, can indeed play a crucial role in critical moments!
With a secret sigh in his heart, after storing the Silencing Zen, Tianxi Star also waited for the cooldown of the Silencing Zen’s divine spell.
Fortunately, the Silencing Zen is the first skill of the Monk Occupation and has a very short cooldown time of just 30 seconds.
However, at this moment, Emperor Ziwei was seriously watching Tianxi Star, suspecting that the treasure given by Xuanzang was specifically meant to deal with him?
Why, after getting the treasure, did Tianxi Star not take any action for so long?
After waiting for a moment, Emperor Ziwei suddenly felt a shock in his heart.
He realized that he was still here and hadn’t left! Was he still waiting to see what method Tianxi Star would use against him? Was he being foolish?
"Oh no, am I about to suffer a deadly disaster, and is my Spirit Platform being tainted?"
After about ten breaths, without turning to escape, Emperor Ziwei felt a tremor in his heart, naturally feeling inclined to retreat.
"Hmph, Xuanzang, since you all aren’t making a move, I won’t stay anymore. As one of the Four Royals, I have boundless affairs to attend to. Thus, we’ll part ways today!" With retreat in mind, Emperor Ziwei coldly snorted at Jiang Liu and said.
After speaking, Emperor Ziwei turned, preparing to leave.
"Wait, don’t go..."
However, seeing Emperor Ziwei turning to escape, Sun Wukong didn’t care much, shouted loudly, and wielded his Ruyi Golden Cudgel, smashing it directly at Emperor Ziwei.
"Wukong..." Jiang Liu felt anxious in his heart.
At this time, holding the Kongdong Seal, Emperor Ziwei was unexpectedly attacked by Sun Wukong. This move surprised everyone.
One could only say, as expected of Sun Wukong? Not caring about all these divine entities, he would move whenever he felt like it?
Bam!
Emperor Ziwei did not expect Sun Wukong to suddenly strike and was startled. He raised his purple long sword in his hand to block Sun Wukong’s strike.
Caught off guard, Emperor Ziwei’s body was shaken back a little.
Completely unfazed.
With overwhelming physical strength, after forcing Emperor Ziwei back a little, Sun Wukong moved again, rushing toward Emperor Ziwei, clearly stalling for Tianxi Star.
"This, truly worthy of the Great Sage Equal to Heaven..." Seeing Sun Wukong dare to attack the Emperor Ziwei holding the Kongdong Seal, Long Eyebrow couldn’t help but marvel secretly.
"Alas, one could say this truly fits Wukong’s character?" Watching Sun Wukong not afraid of any karmic retribution, Jiang Liu couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.
As Sun Wukong engaged Emperor Ziwei for a moment, soon, Tianxi Star sensed that the Silencing Zen’s divine spell was ready.
His figure moved, also rushing towards Emperor Ziwei...
