Chapter 568 -568: No Effort Required After Exhaustive Search (2nd Update!)

After leaving Wuzhuang Temple, Sun Wukong took Zi Xia Fairy on a cloud ride back to Flower-Fruit Mountain. With Jiang Liu’er protected by Yuan Hong and a few others, their westward journey to seek scriptures should encounter no significant trouble. Sun Wukong did not need to follow them step by step; the Immortals and Gods, and Buddha would not let Jiang Liu’er come to harm. Otherwise, where would they find compensation for their merit and destiny?

Sun Wukong brought Zi Xia Fairy back to Flower-Fruit Mountain because he had matters to discuss with Leng Xuan and others and also sought advice from Puti Patriarch and Demon Master Kunpeng.

“Is this really my sister-in-law’s reincarnation? You’re not joking, are you?”

Inside Water Curtain Cave Heaven, Leng Xuan and others inspected Zi Xia Fairy from head to toe. “Hmm, she indeed looks exactly like my sister-in-law, and even the aura is the same. But big brother, could this be some trick by that old Tathagata Buddha?”

For those cultivating, there were many ways to completely change one’s appearance and aura. The suspicion of Leng Xuan and his group that Zi Xia Fairy was sent by Tathagata Buddha to deceive Sun Wukong was not entirely without basis. In this era of great contention, it was possible for Tathagata to employ such a strategy, and they had to be cautious!

Sun Wukong laughed, “Alright, you don’t need to doubt anymore. Zi Xia really is the reincarnation of Zi Lan’s first soul and second spirit. One soul and three spirits from the nine-colored Soul Jade have already merged with her. If she were an imposter, the spirit would not have been able to merge!”

“Then there is no problem!”

Leng Xuan and the others laughed, and the young fox demon Sun Xiaoqing immediately pounced into Zi Xia Fairy’s arms, hugging her tightly and said, “Sister-in-law, I’ve missed you so much! Finally, you’re back!”

Everyone joyfully set up a banquet and celebrated well. After the banquet, Sun Wukong invited Puti Patriarch, Demon Master Kunpeng, and Guanyin Bodhisattva to a courtyard deep within Water Curtain Cave Heaven.

“Master, Brother Kunpeng, Venerable, please take a look at Zi Xia. She is now sharing her life force with another being transformed from a lamp wick, sister Qing Xia. The original lamp wick belongs to that bald donkey Tathagata and is still on Spiritual Mountain. Is there any way to separate their life primordial and free her from the limitations of the original lamp wick?”

Sun Wukong looked hopeful as he spoke to the three. Although his strength was formidable, he was not as well-versed as Puti Patriarch and the others, and in some abilities, he could not even come close, such as Guanyin Venerable’s unique ability within the Three Realms to revive the dead by making the immortal fruit trees revive the dead—other people, no matter how high their cultivation strength, did not have this ability!

This was Sun Wukong’s first encounter with a situation like Zi Xia Fairy’s. Logically, it was impossible to be reincarnated and reborn without a complete set of three souls and seven spirits. Yet, Tathagata Buddha had combined her first soul and second spirit with the newly born soul within the lamp wick, creating twin celestial spirits sharing life primordial, cultivated into Qing Xia and Zi Xia. If one suffered fatal injuries, the other would fall as well.

Sun Wukong had tried using Chaos Primordial Force to sever the obscure connection of life primordial within Zi Xia Fairy’s body, but she appeared to be in severe pain, feeling as if her soul and spirit were being torn apart, and Sun Wukong did not dare to continue.

“Separating the life primordial, this…”

The brows of Puti Patriarch and the others furrowed. Like Sun Wukong, they had never before encountered a case like Zi Xia Fairy’s. The method to separate the life primordial wasn’t unknown to them, but Zi Xia Fairy was able to survive in this world precisely because she shared her life primordial with Qing Xia Fairy, compensating for her own missing soul and spirit with the other’s divine soul.

Originally lacking two souls and five spirits, she absorbed one soul and three spirits from the nine-colored Soul Jade but still lacked one soul and two spirits. If they rashly separated Zi Xia Fairy and Qing Xia Fairy’s primordial sources now, Zi Xia Fairy would perish!

“Isn’t there any other way?”

A hint of despair flashed in Sun Wukong’s eyes. Was Zi Xia Fairy doomed to be controlled by others forever?

“Wukong, this is my fate, I don’t blame anyone! Being able to meet you again is already a gift from heaven. Rest assured, I won’t let myself be controlled by Tathagata. If it really comes to a critical point, I will end it myself!”

Zi Xia Fairy looked at Sun Wukong’s face tinted with the color of disappointment, and her heart ached, resting her head gently on Sun Wukong’s chest, a decisive glint flashed across her eyes.

“Zi Xia, don’t say such foolish things! I, Old Sun, will never let anything happen to you, never!”

Sun Wukong glared, staring at Zi Xia Fairy somewhat angrily. He had already experienced the pain of losing Zi Xia Fairy once and did not want to endure it a second time!

“Actually, there is a solution…”

Suddenly, the voice of Venerable Guanyin rang out, and Sun Wukong abruptly lifted his head, fixing his gaze intently on Venerable Guanyin and asked anxiously, “Really? Is there really a solution? What is it?”

“Well, I can’t be one hundred percent certain it will work…”

“Venerable, please just tell me; even if it doesn’t work, I, Old Sun, won’t blame you!”

Sun Wukong urged, feeling that as long as there was a method, whether effective or not, it should be tried. How else would one know its effectiveness?

“My method is to transfer the essence!”

Guanyin Bodhisattva spoke solemnly. “To transfer Zi Xia Fairy’s essence from the lamp wick to something else, freeing her from the restriction of the lamp wick, and thus the restriction of Qing Xia Fairy’s life primordial. However, the object that will bear Zi Xia Fairy’s essence must contain vast merit and destiny, or it cannot protect Zi Xia Fairy’s fragmented soul…”

“Venerable, just tell me straight, what can become Zi Xia’s new essence?”

Sun Wukong pressed, interrupting Venerable Guanyin’s words.

“The foundation of the Demon Clan’s Heavenly Court!”

Guanyin Bodhisattva took a deep breath and said, “If the Demon Clan’s Heavenly Court is established, the Heavenly Dao will bestow a great deal of merit and destiny, most of which will be contained in the foundation, which supports the entire Demon Clan’s Heavenly Court’s spirit vein. Great Saint, what you need to do is find a suitable spirit vein, separate Zi Xia Fairy’s soul primordial from within the lamp wick, and inject it into the spirit vein. It can then serve as Zi Xia Fairy’s new essence, and even if her soul is not whole, she will still be safe!”

“A suitable spirit vein?”

As Sun Wukong’s mind flashed back to when Zhen Yuanzi asked something of him at the Wuzhuang Temple, wasn’t Zhen Yuanzi’s essence, the very first dragon vein among heaven and earth, the best choice?

It was perfect since Zhen Yuanzi wanted to be free from his essence’s restriction, allowing Sun Wukong to incorporate that dragon vein into the foundational spirit vein of the Demon Clan’s Heavenly Court. If Zhen Yuanzi did not want it, Zi Xia could surely use it!

It really was like finding what one needed without effort after searching tirelessly!
