Great Demon Sun Wukong-Chapter 618 - 579: Forever Together

To resurrect a dead person, three issues need to be addressed. The first is to bring back to life a body that has completely lost its life force. A living person's body has an ongoing flow of life force, which can be understood as a special kind of energy that gathers around the heart. When a person dies, the life force dissipates into the air because it loses containment. Therefore, Sun Wukong stored Sanzang's body in that mystic space in order to allow Ye Zi to reinfuse life force into Sanzang's body.

This was not difficult for Ye Zi. She first constructed a source of life at the heart of Sanzang's body, then highly compressed her own life force until it reached a seed-like state, and placed it within the newly constructed life source. Afterward, she used a massive amount of life force to awaken the seed. Moreover, since Ye Zi had the Wood Attribute and Sanzang had merged with the Transcendence Bloom, making him also of the Wood Attribute, their matching attributes made the task even simpler for Ye Zi. She even integrated a part of the breath from the Bodhi Branch she received from Dao Zhun into Sanzang's life force.

Having done all this, she only had to wait for that seed of life force to sprout. As long as it could successfully germinate, Sanzang's body would regain life force. Meanwhile, in the Peach Garden, Sun Wukong attempted to awaken Sanzang's soul and essence. Sun Wukong was also surprised by this: normally, when a person dies, their soul leaves the body but remains conscious, commonly known as a ghost soul. However, after Sanzang's death, his soul directly fell into a deep slumber, and no method could awaken it, which was precisely the difficulty Sun Wukong originally faced.

If Sanzang's soul does not awaken, then even if the second step of resurrection was successfully completed, which is to cleanse the soul of ghostly Qi and successfully integrate the soul with the body, Sanzang would still remain in an eternal state of unconsciousness. After death, the soul leaves the body and gets branded by the rules of heaven and earth with the mark of the Netherworld or a ghost soul. A soul in such a state cannot reenter the body unless the mark is cleansed. Now, Sun Wukong was simultaneously cleansing that brand and trying to awaken Sanzang's dormant soul.

With the help of the Heaven and Earth Dao Eye, Sun Wukong had already discovered the reason for Sanzang's soul's slumber. "It's truly miraculous, Master's soul is, unbelievably, in an out-of-body, transcendent state. No wonder it's in slumber, and..." As he spoke, a very strange smile appeared on Sun Wukong's face. "And what? Is there a problem?" Sha Wujing asked when he heard this. Sun Wukong turned to look at Sha Wujing and said, "Do you know where Master's soul has wandered off to?" Sha Wujing shook his head. Sun Wukong sighed and said, "That place is called the Ancient Primordial World! It's utterly inconceivable; even as a Saint-level being, Master's soul managed to reach the high-level Ancient Primordial World with just its soul. Right, the Ancient Primordial World now seems to be a Divine Kingdom!"

Sha Wujing was stunned, then spoke with some relief, "No wonder when we were in the Ancient Primordial World, I often felt Master's call, although my memory was very confused at the time, and I had no idea who it was. And every time I was in a fit of mad slaughter, that voice became particularly clear!" Sun Wukong nodded and said, "Although I don't know how Master managed it, it is definitely good news. Such a dream within a dream situation is truly rare."

Many people dream, and in dreams, they often find themselves in all kinds of bizarre worlds. Such dreams can be understood as transient out-of-body experiences of the soul, which is when the soul briefly resides in other worlds while a person sleeps. Sanzang's situation was that his soul was dreaming. His soul remained in the Pangu Realm, but for some reason, Sanzang's consciousness was left behind in the Ancient Primordial World. Hence, Sun Wukong had to guide Sanzang's consciousness back to his soul for it to awaken.

Only in this way, after cleansing the soul of its imprint, could the final step be taken—the merging of the soul and body. "Old Sha, you have stayed in the Ancient Primordial World for some time and carry its essence; I will use you as a conduit to call back Master's consciousness," Sun Wukong then touched Sha Wujing's forehead with one hand and Sanzang's lying soul with the other, after Wujing was ready. Afterwards, Sun Wukong closed his eyes, and with his Supreme Level Eight Patterns Divine Consciousness, traversed countless spaces to reach the Ancient Primordial World. Fortunately, Dao Zhun once allowed Sun Wukong to comprehend the Divine Skills of space. Coupled with Sun Wukong's own exceptional aptitude, which culminated in Space-time Divine Skills, he could smoothly travel through space with his divine consciousness.

Once Sun Wukong's Divine Sense reached the Ancient Primordial World, he quickly located Sanzang's consciousness. However, when Sun Wukong found Master's consciousness, he was somewhat caught between laughter and tears because Master's consciousness was attached to a very ordinary little monk. Of course, 'ordinary' is relative to a high-level world like the Ancient Primordial World, but in fact, even that little monk had the Realm of Three Patterns. Sanzang's consciousness existed within the Sea of Consciousness of that little monk. Sun Wukong did not disturb anyone, instead directly stripping Master's consciousness from the Sea of Consciousness of that little monk and immediately controlling his own Divine Sense to return to the Pangu Realm. As soon as his Divine Sense returned and placed Master's consciousness back into the soul, Sun Wukong's body wobbled, and he knelt down on one knee.

Despite the assistance of the Space-time Divine Skills, the journey of the Divine Sense from a minor world to a Divine Kingdom was quite terrifying, and even Sun Wukong felt exceedingly drained. Now, Sun Wukong felt as if he had a myriad of needles constantly piercing inside his brain, causing heart-wrenching pain. However, it was not time to rest; enduring the pain, he persisted in cleansing the last bit of branding from Sanzang's soul. And when all the ghost soul branding was completely removed, Sun Wukong's nose had already bled. This was the result of overexertion of the Divine Consciousness.

Sha Wujing, watching anxiously by the side, felt helpless and did not dare to recklessly restore Sun Wukong. Just then, the space next to Sun Wukong suddenly split apart, and Sanzang's body appeared out of nowhere. Although Ye Zi could not communicate with Sun Wukong in the mystic world, since Sanzang's body had appeared, it meant that everything was okay. Sun Wukong trusted Ye Zi quite a bit.

"Teacher, help me, I can't hold on any longer." Sha Wujing promptly placed both hands on Sun Wukong's back, and then his Divine Consciousness Power surged out wildly. However, he didn't attempt to control his own Divine Consciousness Power, instead letting Sun Wukong take charge, effectively becoming Sun Wukong's own hands. That power of Divine Consciousness led Sanzang's soul bit by bit into the body that had come to life. At first, everything went smoothly—the lower half of the body below the waist had completely fused with the flesh, but when Sun Wukong was preparing to fuse the upper body as well, a problem arose.

The soul actually had a strong rejection reaction with the flesh body, leaving Sun Wukong at a loss for what to do. In principle, a person's own soul and body should be the most compatible, and typically reintegration of the soul into the body after separation should not present any problems. Furthermore, there was absolutely nothing wrong with the master's flesh body, yet rejection occurred, indicating that the problem lay with the soul.

"It might be because the master's consciousness once visited the Primordial Ancient Realm that ascended to a Divine Kingdom, thus acquiring a trace of the Upper Realm's aura. Now, it probably finds this body's level too low and refuses to merge with it!"

Seeing the soul begin to dissipate due to the rejection and inability to fuse, Sha Wujing panicked, and so did Sun Wukong, with his heart racing. "It seems we must quickly upgrade the master's flesh body, at least to have the strength of the Peak of Unity Dao or even that of Dao Transformation, but…"

But the rest of the sentence remained unspoken. Is it possible to forcibly elevate a body from Saint to the Peak of Unity Dao or the power of Dao Transformation? Of course, it's possible. Sha Wujing and Master Tongtian had done so before, even reaching the Nine Patterns Supreme. However, Sun Wukong lacked that ability. The only method he could think of was to place the Pioneer's heart inside the master's body and then nurture it with his own Five Elements Blood.

But doing so was extremely risky, with the most likely outcome being the complete destruction of the master's flesh body and him sustaining severe injuries.

"Don't worry, leave it to me, you all continue to maintain!"

The speaker was the Transcendence Bloom!

As soon as these words were uttered, a faint human figure drifted out from the Transcendence Bloom; the figure was so insubstantial that it was almost indiscernible without closer examination. After the figure appeared, it directly floated over the semi-fused soul and the flesh body of Sanzang, then slowly spread its arms and tenderly embraced Sanzang's soul in its fold.
