Chapter 440: Reincarnation with Guanyin

"This?"

Guanyin was shocked, unable to speak for a moment at the scene before her.

After Xuanzang had put on the Golden Hoop Bracelet, he had actually taken it off again.

Was this thing something one could just take off at will? It contained powerful Restrictions within it, as if it had taken root.

"Xuanzang, how did you take it off?" Guanyin asked.

"Snap!"

Hearing this, Xuanzang's expression turned serious, and he said:

"Guanguan, what are you saying? To address me by my name directly—you should call me 'husband'."

"..." Guanyin.

She truly wanted to beat Xuanzang to death; could it be that even the Golden Hoop could do nothing to Xuanzang?

Or perhaps Xuanzang's cultivation had already surpassed her own; otherwise, it was inexplicable.

In truth, how could Guanyin know that Xuanzang's right arm was fused with Beginning Qilin Essence Blood, his left hand with Ancestral Dragon Essence Blood, and with his Great Luo-level cultivation, a mere Golden Hoop was something he could handle with ease, to be removed whenever he pleased?

"Guanguan, your complexion looks very poor; perhaps I should put it back on," Xuanzang said.

Thus, he put the Golden Hoop back on. Seeing this, Guanyin recited the mantra again, and then Xuanzang took it off once more; the entire process was smooth and fluid.

"..." Guanyin.

"Ahem, the bracelet is on, Guanguan; it is time to enter the bridal chamber. Let's strive to have ten children in three years!" Xuanzang said, walking over slowly.

Outside the door, Wangmu and Tianyu Pusa watched everything.

"Your Majesty, the rest is up to you," Tianyu Pusa said.

"Very well. If things continue like this, Guanyin is going to face a great disaster, tsk tsk," Wangmu said, covering her mouth and laughing.

Having said this, she waved her hand, and the room, previously bright with candle flames and filled with fragrance, suddenly went dark.

Above the heads of Xuanzang and Guanyin, an ancient scroll appeared out of thin air.

This scroll depicted mountains and rivers, the sun, moon, and stars, and all things in heaven and earth, as if it were a vivid, miniature world.

The scroll enveloped Guanyin and Xuanzang, freezing them in place.

"What is this?"

Xuanzang suddenly discovered that his body could not move, and his Primordial Spirit felt as if it were being pulled away.

Not only him, but Guanyin was the same.

Before he could think it through, the Devour power of the scroll intensified, and the Primordial Spirits of both Xuanzang and Guanyin were sucked into it.

"As expected of the Innate Dharma Treasure, the Grand Void Universe Map; this great power suppressed two Great Luo Golden Immortals in an instant! I wonder how it compares to Nuwa Niangniang's Mountain and River Map of Social Prosperity," Tianyu Pusa said.

"I haven't compared them, so I don't know, but I imagine it's not far off; after all, it was a gift from him."

Wangmu Niangniang said, a trace of reminiscence appearing deep in her eyes.

"Is it the Dao Ancestor?" Tianyu Pusa asked.

The Dao Ancestor is the teacher of the Saints and is highly respected.

The Jade Emperor and Wangmu both cultivated under him in the past.

Today, the Dao Ancestor has long since retreated behind the scenes, ignoring the affairs of the Three Realms, wandering in the Chaos, nowhere to be seen.

Wangmu did not answer, so Tianyu Pusa assumed it was the Dao Ancestor.

After all, in the entire Three Realms, how many could produce an Innate Dharma Treasure?

"But will they be alright entering this Grand Void Universe Map?" Tianyu Pusa asked.

"They will be fine. Within the Universe Map, it forms its own world, no different from the outside. It is just that upon entering, even a Great Luo Golden Immortal will lose their mind and lose their sense of self,"

Wangmu said, a devious, wicked smile appearing at the corner of her mouth.

Ten breaths later, the Grand Void Universe Map flashed with a golden light, and then two rays of light vanished in a blink.

Xuanzang and Guanyin Bodhisattva regained control of their bodies.

The Grand Void Universe Map disappeared, escaping into the Void.

Although only a mere few seconds had passed in the real world, a hundred years had passed in an instant within the Grand Void Universe Map, a lifetime of vicissitudes.

Having just left the Universe Map, Xuanzang quickly calmed down, but Guanyin's mind was dazed, and she was somewhat flustered.

What had just happened?

An instant in the real world, a hundred years in the map?

That was the entire life of a mortal!

"Xuanzang, what did you do?" Guanyin demanded.

"I didn't do anything," Xuanzang said, spreading his hands.

"You—" Guanyin was furious, and also felt a hint of shy indignation.

"Guanguan, don't be shy; we are already an old married couple."

Xuanzang laughed and walked over, preparing to give Guanyin a hug.

"You!" Guanyin's self-restraint did not allow her to use foul language.

"If you want to strike, then strike; I promise not to fight back... Guanyin Bodhisattva."

Xuanzang said, though the last four words were transmitted via secret telepathy.

After all, at this moment, he estimated that all the gods and Buddhas were watching.

Hearing this, Guanyin was shocked once again; it was clear that Xuanzang truly knew her identity.

Damn it, that meant Xuanzang had been playing with her from the very beginning.

"Don't overthink it; that definitely wasn't my doing just now. Even if I am a Great Luo Golden Immortal, it is impossible for me to freeze you for ten breaths; it must have been some kind of powerful Innate Dharma Treasure, Bodhisattva," Xuanzang said.

"How do you know my identity? Since you know my identity, why are you still so rebellious?" Guanyin said.

At this moment, Guanyin already had thoughts in her heart.

Although Xuanzang was powerful, it was impossible for him to silently imprison her for ten breaths.

Here, the only person capable of doing this was Wangmu Niangniang.

Wangmu Niangniang possessed an Innate Dharma Treasure, the Grand Void Universe Map, which could silently capture one's Primordial Spirit and fix one's magic power.

"Rebellious? Bodhisattva, it is clearly you who plotted against us first.

Besides, little Guanguan, although you are a member of Buddhism, you are truly beautiful and moving, making me feel pity for you.

Why not return to secular life, and I shall return to secular life as well," Xuanzang said.

"You!" Guanyin was ashamed and angry.

As a Great Luo Golden Immortal, her Buddha heart had long been tempered a thousand times over, remaining unmoved even if Mount Tai collapsed before her, but facing a shameless scoundrel like Xuanzang, no matter how firm her Dao heart was, it was useless.

"Come, let your husband give you a kiss," Xuanzang said.

"Get lost!" Guanyin finally snapped.

But Xuanzang's next sentence made Guanyin feel like a deflated balloon, her fighting spirit completely gone.

"Guanyin, you wouldn't want Tathagata Buddha to know what happened inside the Grand Void Universe Map, would you?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, if the gods and Buddhas of the heavens were to know that the holy and flawless Guanyin Bodhisattva had given birth to children~" Xuanzang said.

"That was fake; that was merely Zhuang Zhou dreaming of a butterfly, a great dream."

Guanyin said, yet in her heart, she began to recite the Prajna Heart Sutra.

The time spent inside the Universe Map surfaced in her mind; for those decades, her Primordial Spirit was lost, not knowing where her true self was, nor knowing she was a Bodhisattva of Buddhism.

It was only at the moment of dying of old age that she returned to her origin, but unfortunately, it was all too late.

"Why must the Bodhisattva deceive herself and others?" Xuanzang said slowly.

"Reality can be a dream, and a dream can also be reality."

"Precisely because a dream can reflect the true state of a person's soul."

"For example, what one thinks about during the day, one dreams about at night."

"For example, Bodhisattva, your presence has been there throughout this entire Scripture Seeking journey."

"Bodhisattva..."

"Bodhisattva..."

At this moment, Xuanzang turned into a repeater, speaking eloquently and incessantly, continuously instilling great principles into Guanyin, letting Guanyin feel his thoughts and understand him.

Guanyin only felt her head buzzing, as if it were about to split open.

"Ah."

In the end, unable to bear the torture, Guanyin vanished directly from the spot and fled.

Whoever wanted to come to this bridal chamber could come; she was done with it.

"Hehe, fighting with me, I'll annoy you to death; it's just a pity, though."

Xuanzang couldn't help but recall the hundred years inside the Grand Void Universe Map; that kind of mortal time was not bad either.
