Chapter 618: Sun Wukong's doubts
Almost at the same time, a very strange feeling arose in Sun Wukong's heart. But this feeling is too sudden and scattered, and Sun Wukong can't find anything in it for a while. But Sun Wukong is not in a hurry, he still has time. Sitting next to Tang Sanzang, Sun Wukong began to sort out the many doubts that he had known so far and the memories he didn't know.
First of all, Sun Wukong's initial doubts were not the current situation of Brother Bajie's master, but even more years ago, when he was surveying the heavens, Sun Wukong had heard about the previous things in the Pangu Realm on Nuwa's clone, and at that time, Sun Wukong's heart had the first thing that is still puzzled to this day. That is, in the previous Pangu Realm, there was a major change in the Heavenly Dao, and it was this change in the Heavenly Dao in the Pangu Realm that led to many things in the future, including the direct battle between Buddhism and Taoism and many, many more.
And at that time, in Nuwa's narrative, there was a very special person, that person's name Sun Wukong no longer remembers, but he knew that there must have been such a person at that time, and the existence of that person led to the abnormality of the Heavenly Dao in the Pangu Realm, in Sun Wukong's eyes, almost all the things and changes in the Pangu Realm were caused by that person behind the scenes, but that person never appeared in the back, as if he disappeared out of thin air. Who is this person, this is the first doubt in Sun Wukong's heart.
The second doubt is that in the last battle of the Heaven Survey Realm, so many masters of Taoism suddenly appeared, such as Jiang Ziya and Li Jing. Originally, their cultivation was only Da Luo Jin Immortal. But when they finally appeared, Xiuwei was a half-step avenue, how did their strength improve? At that time, Sun Wukong thought that Chang'e had forcibly improved their strength in some way. But now it seems that things are not what they originally imagined. Because Chang'e at that time was just a saint of the Great Dao. Moreover, the physical bodies and qualifications of Jiang Ziya, Li Jing and others could not withstand the power of the half-step avenue level. But in fact, not only have they been elevated to this level, but the use of power is not so jerky. So who is this person who has improved their strength?
The third doubt is myself. He was killed by Chang'e in the Pangu Realm, but his soul appeared in the Huangquan World. This kind of thing is absolutely impossible, at that time, after Sun Wukong regained consciousness, he thought it was because of the relationship between the golden hoop stick, but now that I think about it, this is also an impossible thing, after his death, the golden hoop stick became an ownerless thing, and the Yellow Springs world himself has never been to or heard of. Therefore, it is impossible for the golden hoop stick to reach the Yellow World with Sun Wukong. So, how did he go from a small world to the endless void with the power of his soul to reach the Yellow Springs World?
The fourth doubt is Lao Sha. Lao Sha suddenly disappeared during the Battle of the Sky Survey Realm, and later suddenly appeared in the Flood Desolation Ancient Realm, and then participated in the trial of the Heaven Survey Realm and finally recognized himself. At that time, Sun Wukong always thought that this was the Red Army's actions behind the scenes, but in a conversation between him and the Red Army Yixuan after the Battle of the Sky Survey Realm, Yixuan clearly told Sun Wukong that the situation of Sha Wujing was not their doing. They were just secretly manipulating Lao Sha to join the team of the Heaven Survey Realm Trial, and they didn't do anything else. So how did Lao Sha disappear, why did he appear in the Flood Desolation Ancient Realm, and how did his Zhishui Monument come about? Lao Sha has no memory of these.
The fifth doubt. It is the Tongtian Sect Master and the Twelve Ancestral Witches. The Twelve Ancestral Witches, that is the ancestor of the Wu Clan, but during the Battle of the Heaven Survey Realm, he became the puppet of the Tongtian Sect Master. It's not possible. The strength of each of the twelve ancestral witches is extremely strong, and it is not something that the Tongtian Sect Master can subdue alone. In particular, the descendants of it have been missing for tens of thousands of years, and Xingtian and the others have all died in battle a long time ago. How did Tongtian get their physical bodies? Also, Tongtian suddenly appeared in the Sky Survey Realm later. How did Tongtian get it? How did his strength skyrocket? How did the Burning Fire Nine appear in his hands? How did the Twelve Ancestral Witches all improve their strength?
The sixth doubt is the Eight Precepts. The situation on Bajie has been said before, although Sun Wukong can't find any specific evidence, but his intuition tells him that there is something wrong with Zhu Bajie.
The seventh doubt is the current master, Tang Sanzang. The origin of the Void Transformation Flower Sun Wukong is very clear, although it existed when the Heaven and Earth of the Heaven Survey Realm first opened, but it is impossible to have such a powerful ability as now, which is beyond the scope of what is the way of harmony. What's going on with Master? And Bajie and Master's situation is very similar, they both suddenly burst out with a powerful ability that they have never had before, and this ability is so powerful that Sun Wukong is a little afraid.
The eighth doubt came from the little white dragon. Is that mysterious golden seal really picked up by the little white dragon by accident? The things in the small world can even affect and change the environment of the world in the Monkey King's device? Which golden seal Sun Wukong can't see through with the eyes of heaven and earth, but he has the same heart and mind as the little white dragon, is this really just an accident? It seems that a lot of strange things have happened to the five of them and their apprentices. These things seem to be nothing on their own, but when they are all put together, or put on the five of their masters and apprentices, it is very strange.
Sun Wukong always felt that there seemed to be someone behind this who was secretly guiding or manipulating all this, if his feelings were true, then who would be the person behind it? Red Army, Pluto Army, or those law enforcers, or the realm lord of the Kingdom of God? Thinking about it, Sun Wukong couldn't help but feel a little headache, when was he involved in these things? The pioneer who is exactly the same as himself, the mysterious picture, the ancient war, the heart of the pioneer, the chain of the Pluto army, all this is as if countless fragments are scattered on the ground in a very chaotic manner, Sun Wukong can see the individual pieces clearly, but he can't stitch them together, because Sun Wukong doesn't know what the original pictures of these fragments are, and he himself knows too little.
Just when Sun Wukong was trying to organize and combine these fragments in his mind, he suddenly felt that there was something wrong with the aura around him, and then he opened his eyes, and Sun Wukong saw more than a dozen powerhouses at the beginning of the transformation path present, among which two people actually broke through the realm, although the cultivation is still the initial level of the transformation path, but his own realm has reached the middle level of the transformation path, as long as there is enough spiritual power in the future, then his promotion will be a matter of course. Just after these two people broke through the realm, the strange power fluctuations on Tang Sanzang's body, who was sitting in the center of the main hall, suddenly all returned, and just when everyone was very surprised, Tang Sanzang's cultivation had been promoted to the middle level of the Merge Dao.
This is not a simple breakthrough in the realm, but a breakthrough in the realm and cultivation together. But Tang Sanzang didn't do anything, he didn't cultivate, he didn't retreat, he didn't eat any heavenly treasures or any pills to improve his cultivation, but why did he suddenly break through the realm? He could improve his cultivation without doing anything? How is this possible? No, no, it's not that Master hasn't done anything, but has been preaching the Dharma here. Moreover, the improvement of Master's cultivation is precisely after those two people ascend to the realm, is there any special connection between this?
Sun Wukong can't be sure, but one thing is obvious, that is, the two people who have improved their realm have become more respectful to their master, which can hardly be described as respectful, but a kind of humility. At the same time, Sun Wukong found that on the foreheads of the two people, there was a faint petal-like pattern. Sun Wukong recognized it almost at a glance, it was definitely the petals of the Duhua flower. This is strange, why do these two people have the petal lines of the crossing flower on their foreheads? Could it be because of the relationship between the two of them who have ascended to the realm because of that strange power fluctuation?
This is the only reasonable explanation that Sun Wukong can think of, and when the two people looked up, Sun Wukong saw a trace of emptiness and persistence in the eyes of those two, but it was very subtle. Could this be the ability to cross the flower? This should be another kind of crossing, right? Was Master's behavior intentional or unintentional? Was it the special ability that the Void Flower itself possessed, or was it some other reason?
All of this will not be answered for the time being. When Tang Sanzang's cultivation was promoted, he himself seemed a little surprised, but he immediately accepted it completely, and there were not too many surprises. With a wave of his hand, Tang Sanzang said to the people below: "That's it here today, poor monk, it's time to cross the tribulation!" Yes, after the cultivation is inexplicably improved, it is time to cross the tribulation, although Tang Sanzang knows very little about cultivation, but he still knows about this kind of thing.
And those people did not have any displeasure or other emotions, all of them bowed respectfully, and then got up and slowly withdrew. When everyone withdrew from the Lianyun Courtyard, Sun Wukong had the opportunity to talk to the master.
"Master, who are you?" Sun Wukong had a lot of questions he wanted to ask, but he didn't know how to speak for a while. And Tang Sanzang first smiled and said, "Let's take the teacher to find a place to cross the catastrophe first, and then talk about the rest of the things." Although Sun Wukong still wanted to ask again, he also felt that the master had been locked by the Heavenly Tribulation at this time, and from the first level of the Merge Dao to the middle level of the Merge Dao, he needed to cross a small Heavenly Tribulation, that is, the Heavenly Tribulation with only three Tribulations and Thunder. When you are intermediate to high-level, you need to cross the Great Tribulation, that is, the Six Tribulation Thunders.
Only the ascension of the Great Realm will cross the Great Nine Heavenly Tribulations, that is, the Nine Tribulations and Thunders.
So Sun Wukong had no choice but to take Tang Sanzang and go to the desert island where Zhu Bajie had crossed the robbery before.
