132: Planning

Tang Ku’s question stunned the other party!

“Burial is merely a means!”

Tang Ku spoke eloquently to the sky, “I, Tang Sanzang, used to be very weak, not knowing when to advance or retreat, not knowing how to adapt, and even less knowing what true salvation meant! After becoming a Buddha, I experienced many things: the destruction of the Western Paradise Buddhas, the eradication of the Heavenly Court and the Underworld, and even the human realm was about to be implicated.

I then realized that gentle means could not save anyone. Buddha Dharma, though powerful, is merely a concept, and kindness cannot save demons. Those extraterrestrial powerhouses could even obliterate the Heavenly Court and the Western Paradise Buddhas, let alone annihilate the entire world. If there are no thunderous means to bury them, Buddha Dharma will be useless. Therefore… burial is a means, and salvation is the essence; the two do not conflict!”

“What a means!”

That person actually discussed it with him with great interest, “Then who is this means directed at? Those extraterrestrial demons?”

“Directed at whom?” Tang Ku sneered, “Whoever threatens this world, I will direct it at them! If demons are evil, I bury demons; if Buddhas are evil, I bury Buddhas; if immortals and gods are evil, I bury immortals and gods; if Heaven is evil, I bury Heaven; if Earth is evil, I bury Earth. If all living beings are evil, I will bury all living beings!”

Buzz!

A golden light shot up from Tang Ku’s crown, instantly dispersing the black dark clouds and the fiery clouds from the explosion. Tang Ku only heard a long sigh from the other side, and then everything fell silent.

Tang Ku knew that the opponent must have used some spatial means to rescue Lunar Star Lord, and the fact that he could use such means to attack him indicated that the opponent’s strength was truly formidable. Although he could not be a Saint, such means could only be achieved by those Saint Disciples.

“Grand Vow!”

In the distant Void Realm, a young man in a Daoist robe stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Lunar Star Lord, who was lying in the hands of the Yellow Turban Strongman, and said in a deep voice, “I have lived for so long, and this is the first time I have felt a Grand Vow with such heavy Killing Intent… I remember the last one with such Divine Might was Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva!”

Lunar Star Lord coughed for a long time before finally saying with lingering fear, “Thank you for saving me, Honored One. Taiyin is extremely grateful. That Tang Sanzang’s methods are too ruthless, but I wonder if he will deviate from the path we initially envisioned.”

“He has already deviated!”

The person referred to as Honored One shook his head helplessly and said with a bitter smile, “Ever since he returned from the Thirty-Six Heavens, things have completely deviated from the expected path… He fell into the capital of Daughter’s Country and was rescued. Even Primal Celestial Lord did not calculate this matter. In other words, from that moment on, Tang Sanzang has escaped our control!”

Lunar Star Lord adjusted her breathing for a moment, feeling much recovered, and then ordered the Yellow Turban Strongman to put her down. She said to the Honored One, “There’s one more thing… Tang Sanzang’s cultivation is truly unfathomable. His techniques seem to exist specifically for killing, making them difficult to resist! Previously, Tang Sanzang didn’t seem to have mastered similar Cultivation Techniques. Did he suddenly have an epiphany and create these techniques himself?”

“Not so!”

The Honored One shook his head and said, “You know too little about Tang Sanzang. He was originally the Reincarnation of Golden Cicada, and Golden Cicada was exceptionally intelligent. In fact, back then, the Buddha even intended to pass on the entire Buddhist sect to him, and his descent to the mortal realm to travel and seek the Western scriptures was a form of tempering for him. However, Golden Cicada must have foreseen today’s great tribulation and projected his soul into other worlds in advance… Tang Sanzang is known as a good person who cultivated for ten lifetimes, but in reality, his other nine lives were all in different worlds…”

“In other words…” Lunar Star Lord said with a grim expression, “His soul contains memories from another world? That’s why he mastered so many decisive killing techniques?”

“This possibility is very high… I think this variable should also have been anticipated by him, which is why situations beyond our control have arisen. The root cause is that Golden Cicada is unwilling to be controlled by anyone!” The Honored One said with a bitter smile, “And now it seems, he not only achieved it, but he did it very well… Hmm, I am not at my peak now, so I can only take one move from him, but even at my peak, I don’t have the confidence to take him down quickly. His growth rate is too fast, so fast that we simply cannot predict it!”

Lunar Star Lord was silent for a long time, then said, “Then, should our plan continue?”

The Honored One looked up at the endless Void Realm, shook his head helplessly, and said, “Let nature take its course. Man proposes, God disposes. Even a Saint cannot fully comprehend the laws of this Universe. We just need to do our part, and to what extent it ultimately develops, none of us can control, even if a Saint is Reincarnated again, it’s the same!”

At these words, both fell silent. After a long while, led by the Honored One, they flew towards their own “territory.”

And at this moment, it was already nearing night in Daughter’s Country. Tang Ku had already thoroughly explained what had happened to the Queen at the banquet.

Without the full court of civil and military officials, and without any other disturbances, amidst drinking and laughter, Tang Ku had tried to concisely explain everything that had happened in this world and to himself, down to the smallest detail, to the Queen. He even revealed his Transmigration identity without reservation.

Somehow, Tang Ku just felt that she would never harm him.

He even felt a long-lost sense of home in her!

This feeling, he had never felt in those close to him before, whether it was friends like Nezha and Yang Jian, or his newly accepted Disciples, he had never felt this sense of closeness from them.

However, even though he tried to explain these things as concisely as possible, Her Majesty the Queen listened with wide eyes, and later became completely enthralled, her face flushed, becoming even more joyful.

“Holy Monk Brother… you… I… Do you still remember our past? ” The Queen held her wine glass, sat beside Tang Ku, and looked at him with a beaming smile, saying, “What I said still stands. As long as you are willing, this Xi Liang Womens Kingdom is yours. I am willing to be your bride, your empress, your woman!”

Tang Ku smiled. This time he did not resist, but he also did not agree. He said jokingly, “Don’t you care that I am not that Tang Sanzang?”

“I’ve never seen any Tang Sanzang!” The Queen actually leaned gently on his shoulder and said, “You are you, nothing more. I like you, and it has nothing to do with Tang Sanzang…”

The woman slowly closed her eyes, so beautiful that one dared not look directly.

Tang Ku glanced at her face, then shook his head: “It’s not heartlessness, it’s just that the timing is always wrong…”

“Holy Monk Brother…”

Tang Ku responded involuntarily: “Hmm?”

“I… I have something to… to tell you… Actually… actually, my imperial family’s surname is… is…”

With a soft murmur, the Queen had already fallen into a deep sleep, a happy smile on her face.
