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

Chapter 206 The Result of the Probe!

Tang Sanzang slowly opened his eyes, looking around in confusion. Soon, he saw Jiang Heng not far from him.

After awakening his memories of his past life, Tang Sanzang was naturally familiar with Jiang Heng and quickly understood what had just happened.

"Thank you so much for the Emperor's help, which allowed Sanzang to awaken his memories of his past life!" Tang Sanzang bowed to Jiang Heng and said gratefully.

"Since I drank your tea at Wuzhuang Temple that day, and I said I would give you a chance, then naturally this matter must be settled."

Now that you have awakened your past life memories, you can naturally cultivate the technique that I, the Emperor, taught you. I hope you will cultivate it well! Jiang Heng said.

Tang Sanzang knew that even if he had formed a karmic connection with the emperor because of that cup of tea, it was not enough to make the emperor act this way.

To be taught a supreme martial arts technique is already an unparalleled opportunity. What's more, this human emperor has also made him a pilgrim on his journey to the West.

Now, having been specially sent to help him awaken his past life memories, even if Tang Sanzang were foolish, he would know that Jiang Heng must have ulterior motives.

As if sensing Tang Sanzang's doubts, Jiang Heng took the initiative to speak, saying, "You don't need to worry so much. The karma between us won't have much of an impact on you."

"Once the Journey to the West's great calamity is complete, you will naturally make your own choice, and I will not interfere too much!"

Tang Sanzang remained silent. Although he didn't know what Jiang Heng meant, he knew that the matter was definitely not simple.

However, given Tang Sanzang's current cultivation level, falling into the schemes of a saint-level being is utterly useless, no matter how much he thinks.

After bowing again, Tang Sanzang decided not to think about so many things anymore, since this was indeed an unparalleled opportunity for him.

With Jiang Heng's help, Tang Sanzang not only awakened his memories of his past life, but also made great progress in his cultivation by comprehending the ancient tea tree.

Before this, Tang Sanzang had not yet entered the immortal realm, but now, in just a short time, he has already attained the cultivation of a true immortal.

Although True Immortal cultivation is nothing special in the current Earth Immortal Realm, Tang Sanzang crossed several major realms in a short period of time.

After awakening his past life memories, Tang Sanzang did not need to spend much time to regain his former Golden Immortal level of cultivation.

Moreover, there is the "Gu Zhi Bao Shu" (a magical technique) that Jiang Heng taught him. As long as Tang Sanzang practices diligently, his cultivation will surely advance by leaps and bounds.

Of course, what Tang Sanzang didn't know was that the benefits Jiang Heng gave him this time were not limited to these.

Those thirty ancient Buddha relics have transformed into the purest power and are now dormant within Tang Sanzang's body.

When Tang Sanzang begins to cultivate the "Gu Zhi Bao Shu" (a magical technique), he will discover just how incredible the benefits Jiang Heng has given him truly are.

Jiang Heng went to great lengths to plan these things, so it was certainly not without purpose; this matter was actually the result of a far-reaching scheme.

However, Jiang Heng's various arrangements will only truly show their intended effect when the great calamity of Journey to the West ends.

At that time, not only the two saints of the Western Sect, but even the Heavenly Dao and the Dao Ancestor Hongjun would probably be greatly surprised.

The next day, Tang Sanzang and his companions bid farewell to Jiang Heng and the others and set off again on their journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures.

After finally waiting for Tang Sanzang and the others to leave, Yang Jian, Nezha, and Kong Xuan immediately and eagerly reverted to their original appearances.

Even during their battle with Sun Wukong, the three of them maintained their female appearance, which made them the butt of jokes from Sun Wukong.

Of course, Sun Wukong also paid a heavy price for this. In the battle with Yang Jian, Sun Wukong was severely beaten.

"How was it? Did you find out anything this time?" Jiang Heng asked with a smile, looking at Yang Jian and the other two.

Jiang Heng was not referring to Sun Wukong, but rather to the situation of Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing, whose backgrounds were far from simple.

"As expected, Zhu Bajie is indeed a pawn of the Sage Taiqing. It seems that the Sage Taiqing wants him to sabotage the journey to the West!" Kong Xuan said.

Jiang Heng nodded. The result of the journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures would inevitably be the eastward spread of Buddhism, which would allow Western religions to flourish.

This is undoubtedly a huge shock to the lineage of the Three Pure Ones, and its impact on the human race is also undeniable.

The Sage of Taiqing naturally did not want to see the Western Religion flourish; otherwise, he would not have started targeting the Western Religion so long ago.

However, it is unlikely that the Sage Taiqing would want Zhu Bajie to sabotage the journey to the West, as this is not merely a scheme by the Western Religion.

The spread of Buddhism to the East and the flourishing of religions in the West were a predetermined course set by Heaven and the Dao Ancestor Hongjun, and naturally, it could not be easily disrupted.

Of course, for the Supreme Sage, it is perfectly reasonable to try out a game with a single piece. If it succeeds, then it will be a huge win.

"That Sha Wujing is indeed a confidant of the Jade Emperor Haotian, and should be a pawn of the Heavenly Court, but I always feel that this Sha Wujing is not simple!" Yang Jian said in a deep voice.

Sha Wujing's previous incarnation was the Curtain-Rolling General of the Heavenly Court, a trusted confidant secretly cultivated by the Jade Emperor, naturally representing the Heavenly Court.

However, after some probing, Yang Jian discovered that Sha Wujing was far more complex than he appeared on the surface; he was not someone that the Jade Emperor Haotian could have cultivated.

"That's enough! Since you've already seen that Sha Wujing is no ordinary person, then the person behind Sha Wujing is obvious!" Jiang Heng said with a smile.

Since Sha Wujing was a pawn of the Jade Emperor Haotian, it means that the Jade Emperor Haotian must have attached great importance to Sha Wujing.

To be able to deceive the Jade Emperor and create another scheme involving Sha Wujing, there could be no one else but the Heavenly Dao and the Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

With the methods of Heaven and Dao Ancestor Hongjun, they could even control Sha Wujing silently without him even realizing it.

Therefore, Jiang Heng always knew that although Heaven and Dao Ancestor Hongjun seemed not to have taken action, they were actually quite scheming.

After all, the Great Tribulation of Journey to the West is related to whether the Heavenly Dao can truly be perfected, so how could the Heavenly Dao and Dao Ancestor Hongjun really turn a blind eye?

Meanwhile, after bidding farewell to Jiang Heng, Tang Sanzang and his party continued their journey to the Western Paradise to obtain Buddhist scriptures, and soon arrived at an ancient Taoist temple.

This Taoist temple is none other than the Wuzhuang Temple of Zhen Yuanzi, the ancestor of earth immortals. Sun Wukong was unaware of Zhen Yuanzi's power, but Tang Sanzang was well aware of it.

"This Zhen Yuanzi is really arrogant, he doesn't even worship the saints, he only worships Heaven and Earth!" Sun Wukong said with disdain.

It turned out that after Tang Sanzang and his party entered Wuzhuang Temple, they saw that the temple only enshrined Heaven and Earth, but there was no place for any saints.

Sun Wukong was already considered a lawless person, but he still dared not ignore the existence of a sage, so he was naturally surprised that the master of Wuzhuang Temple dared to be so arrogant.

"Wukong! The master of Wuzhuang Temple is no ordinary person. He is Zhen Yuanzi, the ancestor of the Earth Immortals. He is an ancient and powerful being!"

Back then, the Great Immortal Zhen Yuanzi listened to the Dao in Zixiao Palace with all the saints. He has cultivated to this day, and his strength is unfathomable.

"Among the experts below the level of a saint in the Immortal Realm, Zhen Yuanzi is definitely one of the top!" Tang Sanzang said.

Tang Sanzang's words only fueled Sun Wukong's intense interest in Zhen Yuanzi.

After his battle with Yang Jian, Nezha, and Kong Xuan, Sun Wukong had a full understanding of his current strength.

Having reached the pinnacle of the Quasi-Saint realm, Sun Wukong now stands at the peak of the Earthly Immortal Realm, and there are very few powerful beings who can rival him.

According to Tang Sanzang, Zhen Yuanzi, the ancestor of earth immortals, was clearly also a top expert, so Sun Wukong naturally wanted to spar with Zhen Yuanzi.

Unfortunately, Zhen Yuanzi happened to be out on business and was not at Wuzhuang Temple at the time, so Sun Wukong had to give up for the time being.

Although Zhen Yuanzi was away, he had instructed his two gatekeepers to deliver a ginseng fruit to Tang Sanzang.

It was said that because of a past connection with Tang Sanzang, it was only natural to entertain such an honored guest, but this was entirely out of respect for Jiang Heng.

Although Zhen Yuanzi didn't know why Jiang Heng valued Tang Sanzang so much, he had seen Jiang Heng give Tang Sanzang the opportunity he had been given.

In Zhen Yuanzi's eyes, Emperor Jiang Heng never acted without a purpose, and it was only a matter of him doing Tang Sanzang a favor.

Unfortunately, despite his meticulous planning, Zhen Yuanzi failed to foresee that the Heavenly Dao had already predetermined the entire script for the Journey to the West tribulation.

Sun Wukong still managed to knock down Zhen Yuanzi's ginseng fruit tree, and by the time Zhen Yuanzi returned to Wuzhuang Temple, it was already too late.

The Ginseng Fruit Tree was the lifeblood of Zhen Yuanzi, the Great Immortal, and now that Sun Wukong had pushed it down, one can imagine the rage in Zhen Yuanzi's heart.

When Zhen Yuanzi angrily caught up with Tang Sanzang and his group, a great battle between him and Sun Wukong was inevitable.

After a fierce battle, Zhen Yuanzi became increasingly alarmed, completely unprepared for the extent to which Sun Wukong's strength had grown.

Zhen Yuanzi was, after all, a veteran Quasi-Saint in the prehistoric world, having already reached the peak Quasi-Saint realm in ancient times.

Now, during the Great Tribulation of Journey to the West, Zhen Yuanzi's cultivation level has almost reached the limit that a Quasi-Saint can achieve.

In the current realm of immortals, only Yang Jian can consistently overpower Zhen Yuanzi. However, after a period of fierce fighting, Zhen Yuanzi was unable to do anything to Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong was also quite surprised. When he fought Zhen Yuanzi, he had almost exhausted all his strength, but he still couldn't do anything to Zhen Yuanzi.

The two are roughly equal in strength, with Zhen Yuanzi perhaps being slightly stronger, but he would find it difficult to suppress Sun Wukong in a short period of time.

After a fierce battle, Tang Sanzang finally learned that Sun Wukong had secretly pushed down the ginseng fruit tree without his knowledge, and he was naturally filled with remorse.

Tang Sanzang volunteered to take on the responsibility and prepared to help Zhen Yuanzi revive the Renguo Tree, but accomplishing this task would not be easy.

After much deliberation, Tang Sanzang concluded that among all the immortals in the entire realm, only Jiang Heng was willing and able to lend a hand.

Sun Wukong knew he was in the wrong, so he volunteered to go and see Jiang Heng, hoping Jiang Heng would help him.

Jiang Heng naturally did not refuse. He had long had many ideas about Zhen Yuanzi's ginseng fruit tree.
