The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 692 – 692 688 A Hundred

Chapter 692: Chapter 688: A Hundred-Year Period Chapter 692: Chapter 688: A Hundred-Year Period “The key moment of the seal had arrived then, but the protective cover around Golden Cicada was also broken through. Out of fear, I… failed to stand up for him at that time, to buy even just a moment for him, and as a result, he was severely injured by the demon clan. On the verge of dying, he chose not to save himself, but instead fearlessly protected the seal to reinforce it,” Flower Fox's gaze gradually moved to Chan'er, but it seemed to see through a century, falling on Master Xuanzang of that year.

His voice gradually diminished and this time, no one urged him to go on.

“The golden cicada completed the sealing, but the Map of Mountains and Rivers, the treasure he carried, was also shattered into four pieces by a combined force of three demon generals who were at the True Immortal Stage, at the cost of blowing up their souls and dantians. Sun Wukong, the first disciple of Xuanzang, arrived first and took over the fragments of the Map of Mountains and Rivers from Xuanzang's hand moments before his death. By the time Zhu Bajie and Monk Sha arrived a little later, all they saw was the figure of Master Xuanzang whose soul had scattered.” Flower Fox slowly narrated.

Chan'er listened very carefully. Although she also knew this was her past, she couldn't remember it at all.

“When they returned from defeating the Nine Netherworlds, everything was already too late. Even though they had all become Buddhas and immortals, Sun Wukong and his three brothers could not suppress their anger and wounded both me and Master. Even in his furious state during the uproar in the Heavenly Palace, I had never seen the Great Sage Equal to Heaven so fierce, let alone Zhu Bajie, who always greeted people with a smile on a usual day, became like a demonic god that day, full of fierce aura… If it weren't for the timely arrival of the Guanyin Bodhisattva, they would probably have already committed murder.” Flower Fox continued.

Shen Luo merely listened, looking at Flower Fox filled with regret, but couldn't blame him.

“After that, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva came in a hurry, promised Sun Wukong and the others that he would try his best to save Golden Cicada's residual soul and ensure his smooth reincarnation. Sun Wukong and the others let us go for a while, their anger drove towards the Nine Netherworlds and the demon clan. They immediately decided to lead their respective tribes to war against the demons and vowed to eradicate all demons in the world. But once the war started, it would inevitably involve the Three Realms, causing trouble for the innocent and disaster for all living beings, of course, Guanyin Bodhisattva would not allow it. But facing the grief-stricken brothers, Bodhisattva too had nothing to say, had to persuade them to forbear for the greater good.” Flower Fox said.

“In nearly a hundred years, the Three Realms have been fairly peaceful. It seems that Bodhisattva did persuade them.” Bai Xiaotian said.

“In that situation, the four brothers were not the kind to listen to persuasion. But in his rage, Sun Wukong remembered the last words of Master Xuanzang before his death, so he finally agreed to hold back for a hundred years.”

“What happened afterwards?” This time it was Chan'er who asked impatiently.

“Later, each of the four of them carried a piece of the Map of Mountains and Rivers and left Mountain of Ash Seal. They broke off contact with the Heavenly Palace and no one knew their whereabouts. But, before leaving, they said that unless their master reappears, they won't show up. Otherwise, once the hundred years was up, they would see how powerful their accumulated anger was.” Flower Fox paused after saying this.

“What does that mean? Unless Master Xuanzang fails to reincarnate after a hundred years, they will declare war on the demon clan?” Shen Luo knitted his brows, questioning.

“Given the Great Sage's character, it's quite likely so.” Flower Fox nodded.

“Then why are you waiting here?” Shen Luo asked.

“Back then, because we couldn't defend well and caused Master Xuanzang's death, we were heavily punished by the Heavenly Court. Master didn't want me to experience the punishment of bolts of thunder too, so he dissolved our contract and set me free. But I believe that if Golden Cicada is able to reincarnate, he would definitely come here again. I would like to return everything he left to him.” Flower Fox replied.

Upon hearing this, the attention of the three of them was immediately aroused.

Before coming here, Chan'er had said that she was looking for an important object. It must be the thing that Flower Fox had.

Seeing all three of them focus on him, Flower Fox twisted his wrist, and a ball of seven-colored light immediately lit up in his palm, revealing a colored glaze bead the size of a longan.

The colored glaze bead was semi-transparent and its shape was irregular. A faint fragrance emanated from it. Its surface was a bit rough, but it reflected a stream of seven-colored lights and exuded a noble and auspicious aura.

With just a glance, Shen Luo and the others felt a sense of peace and clarity washing over them.

“This is…the Seven Treasures Mani Relics!” Bai Xiaotian exclaimed, his eyes wide open in amazement.

Typically, Buddhist high monks and laymen who have performed great deeds or have achieved great merit, might sometimes leave behind a couple of relics after they went to Nirvana and were cremated. Yet even such relics were extremely rare, let alone the Seven Treasures Mani Relics that were one in a million.

“This is the relic left by Master Xuanzang after he went to Nirvana. If Chan'er can comprehend its mysteries, he may very well achieve enlightenment and regain his memories of the past life,” Flora Fox said.

With that, she carefully held the relic and handed it to Chan'er.

Chan'er took it carefully, holding it in his hands, and studied it closely for a long time without speaking a word.

“How is it? Can you see anything?” Shen Luo asked.

“Nothing,” Chan'er shook her head and said.

“Try putting the relic at your third eye and see what happens,” Bai Xiaotian suggested.

Chan'er nodded, did as Bai Xiaotian suggested, and put the relic at her third eye. She then closed her eyes, opening herself to the relic's resonance.

After a while, she slowly opened her eyes, faced everyone's expectant gazes, and shook her head helplessly.

“Never mind, it's not easy to recall memories from a past life in a reincarnated body. Since we have already obtained the relic, we should not rush.” Seeing Chan'er lose herself in disappointment, Shen Luo voiced words of comfort.

“Indeed, we have obtained the relic, and our journey to the Western Regions is not in vain. There's no need to rush about regaining your memory. If all else fails, we can seek help from the National Master when we return to Chang'an City,” Bai Xiaotian added.

Hearing these words, Chan'er nodded, put the relic away, and stopped fretting over it.

“Boss Hua, you made such a big fuss just to see Chan'er. You even performed spells in Red Valley City, causing us to think the city was under attack by some demon,” Shen Luo complained after everything settled down.

“The situation was critical at that time. I had to use this tactic to remove Jinchanzi from Red Valley City; otherwise, his life would have been in danger,” Flora Fox replied solemnly.

Upon hearing this, Chan'er's expression changed slightly.

“In danger, what do you mean by that?” Shen Luo asked in surprise.

Bai Xiaotian also looked puzzled; they were by Chan'er's side at the time, but they had detected no danger.
