Chapter 337: Covering the Changes of the Celestial Cycle, Transforming Me into Great Luo!

Great Luo?

What is a Great Luo Golden Immortal!

Eternal, undying, existing through the ages, free and unfettered?

Transcending a realm, or transcending all realms?

At this moment, within the sea of consciousness, time seemed to have come to a standstill.

Only now did Xuanzang understand that his definition of Great Luo seemed too vague.

And he had never truly penetrated the mysteries of Great Luo.

"Great Luo may not be a realm; it is actually just a sublimation in the process of life's transformation."

"Perhaps it is not that mysterious; it is just that I thought of it as too high and unreachable."

"It is also not the end of the Dao!"

"If Great Luo is a transformation of the level of life, then to which kind of life does this Great Luo level belong?"

"Born innate is innate, born acquired is acquired."

"I am currently an acquired living being, so if an acquired life wishes to transform, it can only reverse back to the innate."

Great Luo is innate life; Great Luo is an innate god-demon."

"The number of Great Luo is the number of the innate; the number of the innate divides, and the celestial cycle is complete. The celestial cycle is the infinitely multi-dimensional three thousand worlds manifested from desire!"

"The innate is the Dao; the Dao is one. One gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things, running through the beginning and the end. All things in the universe and the tribulations of ten thousand dimensional spaces are but a single thought."

"Therefore, find the innate origin and lead the celestial cycle, and the celestial cycle will immediately vanish. When the master returns to the heart, it can transform all thoughts into nothingness; the supreme returns to one. From then on, one is one's own master, and the body itself is Great Luo."

"The innate leads the celestial cycle; cover the changes of the celestial cycle, and transform me into Great Luo!"

At the center of Xuanzang's Primordial Spirit, as he thoroughly grasped the essence of Great Luo, a golden Daluo Dao Fruit absorbed the light of the celestial cycle and gradually took shape.

Outside.

As the mastermind behind it all, Zhenyuanzi wore a smile and said:

"Are you about to advance to Great Luo Golden Immortal? It is much faster than originally planned."

"I wonder if it will be in time this time."

At the same time, Lingshan.

While Tathagata Buddha was discussing scriptures with the various Buddhas, his right eyelid suddenly twitched, and he could not help but feel a chill down his spine. He hurriedly stopped lecturing and asked:

"Guanyin, where has Xuanzang traveled to?"

"..." Guanyin was silent for a moment, feeling somewhat speechless at this question from Tathagata.

She had been at Lingshan comprehending the Dharma during this period and had no time at all to pay attention to affairs in the mortal world.

Moreover, for such a question, couldn't Tathagata just pinch his fingers and calculate it himself? Why ask her?

Guanyin thought about it symbolically, then pinched her fingers and said:

"Reporting to Buddha, Xuanzang has reached Wuzhuang Temple in the Earth Immortal Realm."

As the deduction deepened, Guanyin's expression suddenly changed, and she said:

"Not good, Xuanzang has been detained by Zhenyuan Daxian."

"What happened?" Tathagata Buddha said.

"According to the original plan, this Zhenyuan Daxian should have gone far away to attend the invitation of Yuanshi Tianzun to discuss the Dao.

I do not know why, but he remained at Wuzhuang Temple to wait for Xuanzang.

Then, for some unknown reason, the Ginseng Fruit Tree fell, and Xuanzang and his party were detained," Guanyin said.

"The Ginseng Fruit Tree fell; that must have been done by Sun Wukong. Naturally, he would be detained by Zhenyuanzi," said the Past Buddha, Randeng.

"Buddha, it was not done by Wukong. Furthermore, it fell on its own, but Zhenyuanzi blamed everything on Sun Wukong. At this moment, the master and disciples have all been captured," said Guanyin Bodhisattva.

According to the plan of Buddhism, Zhenyuanzi was to go to attend the discussion with Yuanshi Tianzun, leaving behind a fake Ginseng Fruit Tree.

Then Qingfeng and Mingyue would provoke Sun Wukong, causing him to push over the tree.

Finally, Guanyin herself would act to symbolically revive the fruit tree, gaining a wave of Qi Luck and Merit.

But now it seems the real tree has fallen. With Guanyin's divine abilities, how could she revive an Innate Spiritual Root?

Even if she could revive it, the price paid would be immense.

Tathagata had already silently deduced it once and knew the situation.

He could not see through what Zhenyuanzi was trying to do.

The key was that the other party was the Ancestor of Earth Immortals; although he was the Buddha of the West, he could do nothing to the other party.

"If Zhenyuanzi keeps holding onto Jinchanzi, it will definitely affect the Journey to the West and be detrimental to the flourishing of Buddhism."

Randeng Buddha said, his expression looking poor.

In the ancient era, he and Zhenyuanzi were old acquaintances; he knew that his cultivation was absolute and his hidden cards were endless.

For someone at Zhenyuanzi's level, only a Saint could suppress him.

Moreover, as an ancient-level Great Luo Golden Immortal, even a Saint would find it difficult to kill him.

"But it seems we cannot deal with Zhenyuan Daxian either; we can only reason with him," Maitreya Buddha smiled.

Tathagata looked calm on the surface, but his mind was filled with many thoughts.

It was clearly agreed upon for the Journey to the West, so why was no one following the Script?

What kind of change had occurred here?

It was the same before under Five Elements Mountain!

And now it is like this at Wuzhuang Temple?

Tathagata's mentality collapsed; he felt that everyone around him was an actor, and he really had it hard.

"Let us wait and see how this develops. After all, Zhenyuanzi is a renowned elder from the ancient past; one must show respect to the monk if not for the sake of the Buddha. If he detains Xuanzang and his party for too long, even if he is the Ancestor of Earth Immortals, I shall require an explanation," Rulai said.

Although Zhenyuanzi was powerful and of the same generation as the Saints, he was no pushover either.

He possessed an extraordinary origin, was bolstered by the Qi Luck of the entire Lingshan Buddhism, and his own magic power stood at the pinnacle of the Three Realms.

In this world, living longer does not necessarily mean being stronger; those who come later can also surpass those who came before.

……

Heavenly Court, Yaochi.

"What is this Zhenyuanzi playing at? Was it not agreed that this was just an act? Why is he making such a mess of it?"

On the golden phoenix couch, the Queen Mother, dressed in a purple palace gown, noble and elegant, was burning with rage.

As the person paying the most attention to Xuanzang's Journey to the West, the Queen Mother knew every tribulation like the back of her hand.

Yet, when it came to Zhenyuanzi, a major problem had emerged.

It would be one thing if Zhenyuanzi had ruined the Ginseng Fruit Tree himself, but to frame others for it—how could an Immortal be so shameless?

"Abominable! If not for my status, I would charge toward Wuzhuang Temple right now."

If looks could kill, Zhenyuanzi would have been slashed by the Queen Mother ten million times by now.

The Queen Mother pinched her fingers to divine Xuanzang's fortune, but she could calculate nothing; the heavenly secrets were obscured, a mass of Chaos.

At this moment, apart from Zhenyuanzi, who knew everything, no one else could peer into Wuzhuang Temple.

"Your Majesty, the Jade Emperor summons you to the High Heaven Palace to discuss matters."

At this moment, a beautiful young fairy in a green dress walked in.

"The Jade Emperor—why doesn't that fellow come himself? To actually summon me—does he still hold me in any regard?" the Queen Mother said.

"……"

The little fairy gave a bitter smile; she dared not meddle in the affairs of these two great figures, lest she be rewarded with a 'mortal realm experience card.'

The Queen Mother was very angry now, so she was displeased with everything she saw.

But she still moved her carriage to the High Heaven Palace to see which Immortal needed a hundred-day tour of mortal realm training.

…

Wuzhuang Temple, Sleeve Universe, small world.

"Bajie, when do you think Master will succeed?" Sun Wukong could not help but ask.

He was a Houzi, restless by nature, and he could not sit still at this moment.

Xuanzang was now completely enveloped by the light of Daluo, transformed into a Daluo Cocoon.

"Houzi, how would I know? My own peak cultivation was only that of a Golden Immortal," Bajie said.

As the words fell, the mysterious Daluo Cocoon shook incessantly, cracks appearing on its surface, and rays of golden light shot straight into the clouds, breaking through the constraints of the Sleeve Universe and ascending directly to the Thirty-Three Heavens.

"Innate leads the celestial cycle, covering the changes of the celestial cycle, transforming me into Daluo!"

"Daluo Dao Fruit, complete!"
