Primordial Era: Becoming the Great Emperor of Humanity from the Start

Chapter 205 Awakening Past Life Memories!

A unique fragrance wafted over, and just smelling this fragrance, Tang Sanzang felt countless insights flowing through his mind.

His own realm was rising steadily, and his cultivation level was also unconsciously improving, instantly reaching an incredible level.

Pigsy, Sandy, and the White Dragon Horse Ao Lie all wore expressions of deep contemplation, lost in profound insights.

Even Sun Wukong, a peak Quasi-Saint, although he did not enter into enlightenment, showed an expression of enjoyment on his face.

Sun Wukong couldn't help but give Jiang Heng a deep look, and he instantly understood some things, but he did not act rashly.

After all, this cup of tea alone is not something an ordinary being could possess, so how could Jiang Heng's identity be simple?

But Sun Wukong could also sense that Jiang Heng didn't actually have any ill intentions, and those five cups of tea were rare and precious natural treasures.

He grabbed a cup of tea and drank it all in one gulp. Sun Wukong immediately closed his eyes, as if he were savoring the infinite meaning in the cup of tea.

Pigsy, Sandy, and White Dragon Horse Ao Lie followed suit, eagerly grabbing a cup of tea and drinking it down in one gulp.

Only Tang Sanzang remained relatively calm at this moment. He first expressed his gratitude to Jiang Heng before picking up a cup of tea and drinking it all in one gulp.

Jiang Heng nodded unconsciously. Putting everything else aside, Tang Sanzang, the pilgrim, was absolutely the best in terms of willpower and determination.

This tea is no ordinary tea; it is tea leaves grown on the ancient Wudao tea tree, which possesses the supreme effect of enabling people to comprehend the Dao.

Even for a quasi-saint level expert, the Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree still has considerable value, and its preciousness goes without saying.

After all, once you reach a certain level, the insights gained about your realm become more important than the progress in your cultivation.

For Tang Sanzang, tea brewed from the leaves of an ancient tea tree from the Enlightenment Era could easily transport him to a realm of immortality.

Seeing Sun Wukong and the others lost in enlightenment, Jiang Heng raised his hand and pointed, and the surrounding space and time instantly began to become illusory.

At this moment, this space-time was independent of the Earthly Immortal Realm and was completely under Jiang Heng's control.

In this space-time, even the power of the Heavenly Dao cannot penetrate it. This is not only Jiang Heng's power, but also the power of the Chaos Bell.

During the Investiture of the Gods, the Chaos Bell fell into a deep slumber due to damage to its origin.

This was a great blow to Chaos Bell, but it was also an opportunity to break free from the shackles of the innate treasure and take another step forward.

With Jiang Heng's help, by the time of the Great Tribulation of Journey to the West, the Chaos Bell had completely merged with Jiang Heng's own Dao.

At this moment, Jiang Heng's Dao has been engraved in the Chaos Bell, allowing it to fully unleash Jiang Heng's strength.

Nourished by the boundless fortune of the human race, the Chaos Bell is undergoing an incredible transformation, a transformation never before seen in the primordial world.

Given the original power of the Chaos Bell, once its transformation is successful, it is very likely to become a quasi-immortal emperor artifact in "Perfect World".

If Jiang Heng is able to take that crucial step in the future, it is not impossible for the Chaos Bell to transform into an Immortal Emperor's artifact.

However, the Chaos Bell is still undergoing transformation, and Jiang Heng can only borrow a portion of its power.

The Heavenly Dao and Dao Ancestor Hongjun are constantly accumulating power, and so is Jiang Heng. When both sides have accumulated their power to their fullest extent, the great battle will break out.

At this moment, Jiang Heng used his supreme power to transform his manor into an independent space-time, and Sun Wukong immediately sensed it.

After all, he was a powerful expert at the peak of the Quasi-Saint level. Even if he digested the insights brought by the ancient tea tree, it wouldn't take him too long.

Upon seeing Jiang Heng and sensing that familiar aura, Sun Wukong naturally understood Jiang Heng's identity and couldn't help but speak:

"I thought it was someone else who could fool my sharp eyes, but I never expected it to be the Emperor himself!"

Why has the Human Emperor concealed his identity this time? Is it perhaps to play a trick on us?

Before entering the manor, Sun Wukong had carefully observed it, but under his fiery eyes, he couldn't see anything unusual.

In the current realm of immortals, there are not many powerful beings who can deceive Sun Wukong's fiery eyes, but the Human Emperor before us is definitely one of them.

"This great tribulation, in the process of obtaining the scriptures in the Western Paradise, should involve eighty-one tribulations. Only by overcoming these tribulations can the journey be completed."

"My purpose in coming here is to present you with a challenge. By the way, I have some karmic ties with that Tang Sanzang, so I'll settle them here as well!" Jiang Heng said.

Sun Wukong nodded unconsciously. Jiang Heng had already told him about Tang Sanzang last time when they were in the Five Fingers Mountain.

During this period, Sun Wukong was relatively respectful to Tang Sanzang, mostly out of respect for the emperor in front of him.

"Since that's the case, then I, Old Sun, will refrain from meddling in other people's business!" Sun Wukong said with a smile.

"I, the Emperor, wish to bestow upon Tang Sanzang a great opportunity. If you have nothing better to do, you may seek out Yang Jian and the others for a friendly spar!" Jiang Heng said.

Sun Wukong's eyes lit up immediately. He had always held a grudge against Yang Jian for their battle on Flower Fruit Mountain.

In that battle, Sun Wukong suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of Yang Jian. In fact, Yang Jian didn't even unleash his full power.

Now, under the Five Finger Mountain, after five hundred years, Sun Wukong believes that his cultivation has made further progress.

If he could fight Yang Jian, Sun Wukong wasn't absolutely certain he would win, but he believed he wouldn't suffer the same crushing defeat as last time.

Sun Wukong hurriedly went to find Yang Jian to spar with, while Jiang Heng just smiled without saying a word. It's unknown what expression Sun Wukong would have when he saw Yang Jian's female form.

With a wave of his hand, Zhu Bajie, Sha Wujing, and the White Dragon Horse Ao Lie slowly disappeared, having been delivered by Jiang Heng to Yang Jian and the others.

Such a test naturally didn't require Jiang Heng's personal intervention; Yang Jian and the others were perfectly capable of completing the task.

At this moment, only Tang Sanzang remained in Jiang Heng's sight. Jiang Heng then raised his hand and waved it, and thirty relics appeared in his hand.

These thirty relics are the very relics of the ancient Buddha that Jiang Heng extorted from Patriarch Bodhi.

At that time, Patriarch Bodhi did not understand why Jiang Heng would want thirty ancient Buddha relics, since the value of these things was limited.

If it were just Jiang Heng himself, he would naturally not care about thirty ancient Buddha relics. The reason Jiang Heng made such a condition was entirely for today.

The two saints of the Western religion were naturally unaware that Jiang Heng had already been plotting the Journey to the West calamity before Sun Wukong was even born.

These thirty ancient Buddha relics were of no use to Jiang Heng, but they were of great use to Tang Sanzang.

With a wave of his hand, the thirty ancient Buddha relics immediately shone brightly, forming a dazzling Buddha light that enveloped Tang Sanzang.

Under the dazzling Buddhist light, Tang Sanzang's cultivation was not only constantly improving, but his memories of his previous lives were also being awakened.

Generally speaking, after reincarnation, if one does not reach the realm of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, it is virtually impossible to awaken memories of one's past life.

But for Jiang Heng, awakening Tang Sanzang's memories of his previous lives was naturally not a difficult task.

Tang Sanzang has reincarnated ten times. The memories of his previous lives are actually of little value. The memories that are truly valuable are those of his time as the second disciple of Vairocana Buddha.

As the memories of that past life slowly awakened, the "Gu Zhi Bao Shu" (a magical technique) that Jiang Heng had taught Tang Sanzang naturally surfaced in Tang Sanzang's mind.

Jiang Heng nodded in satisfaction. All the sages believed that Sun Wukong was the pawn Jiang Heng had cultivated during the Journey to the West.

But those sages had no idea that Jiang Heng helped Sun Wukong not because he wanted Sun Wukong to become a pawn in his game.

Whether it was teaching Sun Wukong the fighting techniques or helping him achieve his current strength, Jiang Heng simply gave Sun Wukong more possibilities.

This stems from certain lingering feelings from his past life. Jiang Heng had no intention of using Sun Wukong to do anything; it all depended on Sun Wukong's own choices.

Tang Sanzang has always been considered a pawn in the Western Paradise and Mahayana Buddhism, but Tang Sanzang was the real target of Jiang Heng's scheme.

Even Tang Sanzang himself was unaware of this matter. But one day, Tang Sanzang, this pawn, will play an extremely crucial role.

On the other side, Sun Wukong quickly found Yang Jian, Nezha, and Kong Xuan. Seeing their current appearance, Sun Wukong naturally burst into laughter.

Yang Jian and the other two were instantly enraged. Kong Xuan was the first to lose his temper and fought with Sun Wukong. Although the battle ended in a draw, Kong Xuan had the upper hand.

Afterwards, Nezha also got a little itchy and fought Sun Wukong again. The battle ended in a draw, but Nezha still had the upper hand.

Finally, Yang Jian personally intervened and fought with Sun Wukong. As expected, Sun Wukong was defeated and suppressed by Yang Jian.

However, compared to their encounter at Flower Fruit Mountain, Yang Jian was much more serious this time, using all his strength to suppress Sun Wukong.

Clearly, during the five hundred years he was suppressed under the Five Fingers Mountain, Sun Wukong did not slack off in the slightest, and his strength had made great progress.

Yang Jian's strength had already reached the limit of the Quasi-Saint level. There were not many beings in the prehistoric world who could make Yang Jian use his full strength.

Of course, after being suppressed by Yang Jian, Sun Wukong was naturally indignant. He had thought that he was now on par with Yang Jian.

Sun Wukong never imagined that the gap between himself and Yang Jian was still enormous, like a huge chasm that was impossible to cross.

"It seems that only by taking that step and cultivating the Victory Strike Technique to perfection can I truly fight Yang Jian!" Sun Wukong thought to himself.

Under Jiang Heng's guidance, Sun Wukong understood how to take that step, but actually doing it proved incredibly difficult.

This has nothing to do with whether or not Sun Wukong practices diligently, but rather whether he can truly understand his own heart and take that step without fear.

Even for the unruly Sun Wukong, this was an extremely difficult task.
