Chapter 562 -562 Partial Restoration of Past Life Memories (4th Update!)

“You, you mean to say, I am…”

Zi Xia Fairy’s eyes widened more and more, incredulously covering her mouth.

Earlier, when Zi Xia Fairy was listening to Sun Wukong talk about his relationship with Zi Lan Fairy, she was entirely an observer, listening with envy and longing. But as the story went on, she began to feel that something was amiss, especially when Sun Wukong spoke about the fusion of Zi Lan Fairy’s one soul and two spirits with the soul of the lamp wick, leading to the birth of their shared lives in the form of two female immortals. Feeling the intense heat in Sun Wukong’s eyes, even someone as slow-witted as Zi Xia Fairy would understand.

The reincarnated form of Zi Lan Fairy that Sun Wukong spoke of was referring to her!

“Exactly, you are the reincarnation of Zi Lan!”

Sun Wukong nodded, flipped his palm, and the colorful Soul Jade appeared in his hand, which he then passed to Zi Xia Fairy, “Contained within this is Zi Lan’s one soul and three spirits. Whether what I, Old Sun, am saying is true, you’ll understand once you feel it for yourself.”

Zi Xia Fairy took the colorful Soul Jade, and the moment her fingers touched it, her head buzzed, resonating with the one soul and three spirits within the Soul Jade. Several beams of colored light flew out from the Soul Jade and burrowed into Zi Xia Fairy, and fragments of memories began to rush into her mind. Although they were scattered, they felt incredibly real, some of which perfectly matched what Sun Wukong had said before.

What Sun Wukong had said was true; she was indeed the reincarnation of one soul and two spirits of Zi Lan Fairy!

“Wukong!”

The feelings from the memories mixed with the emotions that had sprouted during the days she had spent with Sun Wukong in this life, and a tear of emotion fell from Zi Xia Fairy’s eyes as she deeply called out his name and threw herself into Sun Wukong’s arms, “I remember some things, but they are intermittent, very incomplete…”

“Do you remember Old Sun?”

Overjoyed, Sun Wukong had given the colorful Soul Jade to Zi Xia Fairy only for her to sense the one soul and three spirits within. He hadn’t expected that they would actually leap out from the Soul Jade and merge with Zi Xia Fairy, and that Zi Xia Fairy would even recover some of her past life memories!

Seeing Zi Xia Fairy nodding with tears in her eyes while held in his embrace, Sun Wukong excitedly held her tightly. After waiting for more than five hundred years, he had finally seen his beloved again!

“Zi Xia, come back with Old Sun to the Flower-Fruit Mountain. This time, I will never let anyone hurt you again!”

Sun Wukong held Zi Xia Fairy tightly and whispered into her ear, but he felt her body stiffen suddenly, “What’s wrong?”

“Wukong, I, I probably can’t go back to Flower-Fruit Mountain with you…”

“Why?”

“My true body, the lamp wick, is still on Spiritual Mountain, controlled by Tathagata Buddha. I can’t be away from my true body for long; at most, I have two more years. I must return to Spiritual Mountain, or else my divine soul will dissipate…”

“What?”

Sun Wukong’s heart sank. This was definitely a calculated move from that old Tathagata! He realized now, Tathagata Buddha went through such great lengths to have Zi Xia Fairy reincarnated, all so that one day he could use Zi Xia Fairy to threaten him!

This bastard!

“No matter! If we’re going to Spiritual Mountain, we’re going to Spiritual Mountain! When the time comes, I’ll accompany you, and if Tathagata Buddha doesn’t hand over the Lamp Wick, I’ll overturn his Thunder Sound Temple!”

Sun Wukong clenched his teeth with a face full of hatred.

“By the way, Wukong, you haven’t told me why we had to leave Wuzhuang Temple, what exactly are you plotting?”

Nightfall was beginning to descend, and Sun Wukong and Zi Xia Fairy sat on a cliff platform halfway up the mountain, a few miles away from Wuzhuang Temple, whispering to each other in close proximity. Zi Xia Fairy glanced at Wuzhuang Temple in the distance and suddenly asked, as if recalling something.

“Well, it’s for the Journey to the West to Seek Scriptures!”

Sun Wukong scratched his head and revealed to Zi Xia Fairy the conspiracy of Heavenly Court and Buddhist Sect to exploit the Journey to the West to gain the Merit and Destiny bestowed by Heavenly Dao, and also shared his plan to take advantage of the situation to seize his share of the spoil.

“To obtain the Merit and Destiny bestowed by Heavenly Dao, one must let Jiang Liu’er and the others complete the Eighty-One Tribulations and align with the destinies set by Heavenly Dao. Only then will the Merit and Destiny descend. Wuzhuang Temple is one of these tribulations. If we stay in Wuzhuang Temple, we will definitely get involved. Now, if Clear Wind and Bright Moon come and ask for my help, tell me, should I help them or not?”

“Well…”

Zi Xia Fairy frowned slightly. Jiang Liu’er, Yuan Hong, and White Dragon Horse Ao Lie were all people Sun Wukong had secretly arranged, so of course he would support them. However, Zhen Yuanzi treated them with great respect, and even had Clear Wind and Bright Moon bring them Peaches of Immortality to eat, so it wouldn’t be right to sit idly by. From this perspective, it really was difficult to assist either side!

Sun Wukong’s concern was valid; in such situations, it was indeed better to extricate oneself and watch the drama unfold from the shadows!

Tomorrow morning, Clear Wind and Bright Moon would probably discover that the Peaches of Immortality had been stolen. Heh, the show was about to begin!

The next day, early in the morning, Clear Wind and Bright Moon, as usual, made their rounds to inspect the temple and indeed discovered that the Peaches of Immortality had been stolen. Fuming with rage, they confronted Yuan Hong and the others and just happened to hear Zhu Bajie clamoring for Yuan Hong to pluck another Peach of Immortality for him to taste, claiming that he hadn’t appreciated its flavor as he had gulped it down whole!

The two Taoist Boys were immediately infuriated and stormed into the room, cursing at Yuan Hong and his companions, which enraged Yuan Hong so much that he was ‘one Buddha born and a second Buddha ascending’. Perhaps because the temperaments of spiritual monkeys are generally poor, Yuan Hong, like the Sun Wukong of the past, was lawless and unruly; it was only his ferocity that had been suppressed during his time in Heavenly Court.

Now, being cursed at like this by Clear Wind and Bright Moon, anger surged from his heart, and wickedness arose at the edge of his gall. Without a second thought, he left a false body in place and his true body rushed to the Peach of Immortality garden, where he knocked down the Peaches of Immortality trees to the ground with a few strikes. Peaches of Immortality scattered all over the ground, burrowing into the soil. Sun Wukong had long been waiting underground in the orchard; as soon as a peach touched the soil, he collected half of them, while the rest, which he couldn’t gather in time, disappeared without a trace into the earth, making Wukong regret not being able to collect them all.

After collecting ten Peaches of Immortality, Sun Wukong didn’t leave, but instead dashed to a corner of the peach garden. With a swift move, he grabbed a figure straight out from the shadows.

“You again, you’ve got some nerve! Did you take my words for the idle wind?”

Sun Wukong sneered repeatedly, looking at the man he had grabbed from the shadows, none other than the Demonic Figure Jue Ying!

Yuan Hong’s temperament wasn’t like Sun Wukong’s past self. Although he was equally defiant, his edge had been dulled after so many years in Heavenly Court. He originally only wanted to snatch a few more fruits to vent his frustration, but upon entering the garden, his anger soared and he ended up toppling the Peaches of Immortality trees!
