Chapter 201 - 194: The Seventh Reincarnation of Tsangyang Gyatso
Wukong had an intense battle with Tsangyang Gyatso, and just as Tsangyang Gyatso tried to escape at the last moment, he was ambushed by the Heaven-Defying Taoist. A Great Mountains and Rivers Seal came crashing down, smashing him to the point where his bones fractured, his tendons snapped, and he spat blood. His Primordial Spirit was dazed, and the Three Flowers and Five Qi in disarray.
Wukong quickly caught up and aimed a mighty strike with his staff to finish him off!
Little did he know that the magic weapon that could slay immortals and destroy gods suddenly appeared in front and enveloped Tsangyang Gyatso, whisking him away.
Wukong’s staff struck nothing but air, shattering the void with a web of dense and intricate cracks. The magical weapon, having wrapped Tsangyang Gyatso, disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye. Even the Heaven-Defying Taoist failed to stop it, which showed that the Great Sun Tathagata had a backup plan. He had placed a prohibition inside the treasure, ensuring that if Tsangyang Gyatso faced danger, it would carry him away.
"Dammit!" Wukong couldn’t help but curse out loud. He was about to kill Tsangyang Gyatso with his staff when the magical weapon carried him off unexpectedly.
The Great Sun Tathagata originally thought that with Tsangyang Gyatso wielding the magical weapon, Wukong would surely be captured. But he didn’t expect Wukong to possess an expanding meditation cushion. Truly, man’s calculations are no match for the will of heaven. Now Xuan Ming’s mana had greatly increased. The Great Sun Tathagata felt deep regret, wishing he could turn back time and give Tsangyang Gyatso a few more magical treasures.
"Buddha Ancestor, your disciple is of no use, and has disappointed you," Tsangyang Gyatso said, pale-faced.
"It’s all right, it’s all right! This Sun Wukong’s fate is not to be cut short, and Xuan Ming also has his destiny," the Great Sun Tathagata sighed deeply.
Tsangyang Gyatso nodded and said, "Thank you for your grace of not blaming me, Buddha Ancestor."
With these words, he retreated. As soon as he stepped out of the palace gate, he took out his Buddha Beads and muttered, "I have been severely injured in this life; it seems I must reincarnate ahead of time."
After saying this, black smoke began to billow from his body, strand by strand, all entering into the Buddha Beads.
