However, he was extremely proud and stubbornly refused to show it in front of Li Yao.
"I never expected that person to be so powerful!"
While Sun Wukong was healing himself, he was secretly amazed.
...
Meanwhile, in the underworld where Wutian imprisoned the Buddha and Bodhisattvas.
The atmosphere in the prison where all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of the Buddhist realm were held was unusually somber.
The light was dim, and the atmosphere was deathly still!
And so it went, and no one knew how much time had passed.
Suddenly, an incredibly bright golden light burst forth from a corner.
The golden light was so brilliant that it illuminated the entire massive cage.
It was like a golden sun, indescribably dazzling and sacred.
Furthermore, the intense golden light carried a strong Buddhist aura, which spread out and was immediately sensed by all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in the entire prison.
They all opened their eyes and looked toward the source of the golden light.
"Tang Sanzang!"
All the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas exclaimed in unison in utter astonishment.
There is no other reason.
All the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas present had their five vital energies removed from their chests and their three flowers on their heads, and their primordial spirits were sealed by Wutian.
It can be said that they are now completely unable to activate any magical power, and are no different from ordinary mortals!
On the other hand, Tang Sanzang's current state undoubtedly indicates that he has regained his magical powers!
This shocked them greatly.
"We have all lost our primordial spirits, so why is golden light emanating from Sanzang's head, and why is his body filled with a powerful aura of magic?"
Guanyin Bodhisattva said with great surprise.
The other Buddhas and Bodhisattvas were all moved and fell into deep thought without prior arrangement.
After a moment, one of the Buddhas speculated, "Could it be that... Tang Sanzang comprehended the prophecy left by the Buddha at the time of his passing, thereby restoring his primordial spirit, breaking free from the shackles, and achieving Nirvana of the Three Flowers and Five Elements, thus restoring his cultivation?"
As soon as this Buddha finished speaking, the other Buddhas and Bodhisattvas were even more astonished.
Among them, each one is far superior to Tang Sanzang in terms of strength, cultivation, comprehension, and study of Buddhism.
Even so, none of them were able to comprehend the verses left by the Buddha.
But Tang Sanzang actually did it?
This shocked them!
However, this shock was a surprising shock.
In an instant, they all became incredibly excited, their eyes fixed intently on Tang Sanzang!
And so, a long time passed.
Under the watchful eyes of all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, Tang Sanzang slowly opened his eyes.
"Bodhisattvas, Buddha, I have comprehended the Buddha's words, broken the seal of Wutian, and my cultivation has barely recovered somewhat!"
Tang Sanzang glanced at the astonished Buddhas and Bodhisattvas around him and said with a slight delight.
"Say it quickly, let everyone hear it!"
One of the Buddhas shouted excitedly.
"The phrase 'When everyone is of one mind, only those with two minds' is used twice, along with the last phrase 'When heaven and earth are clear and bright, two minds return to one'!"
"Adding the two together twice, that's the length of time Wutian has occupied the Buddhist realm, which should be thirty-three years!"
Tang Sanzang nodded slightly and spoke slowly.
"Yes, that makes sense. This is exactly what Buddhism refers to as destiny!"
A Buddha with profound Buddhist teachings spoke.
The phrase “The true spirit enters into an ordinary family” means that the Buddha did not truly pass away, but rather his spirit was reincarnated into an ordinary family and became the reincarnation of the Buddha.
"One day I will return to the Buddhist land and regain control of Mount Ling!"
Tang Sanzang continued his explanation.
The Buddhas and Bodhisattvas around him nodded in agreement.
At the same time, they were also amazed and envious of Tang Sanzang's comprehension and talent!
So many Buddhas and Bodhisattvas failed to comprehend this, yet only Tang Sanzang attained enlightenment. This is enough to demonstrate just how extraordinary Tang Sanzang's talent was!
This point was agreed upon by all the countless Buddhas and Bodhisattvas present.
"'Only one son and one heir can resolve this calamity,' this sentence means that only one person can resolve this difficulty!"
Just as the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas were amazed by Tang Sanzang's enlightenment, Tang Sanzang dropped another bombshell.
Upon hearing this, the Buddha and Bodhisattvas paused for a moment, then asked in unison, "Who is it?"
"The two characters '子系' (zixi) together form the character '孙' (sun)!"
"Therefore, the one who can overcome this difficulty is none other than the Victorious Fighting Buddha, Sun Wukong!"
Tang Sanzang explained.
Upon hearing this, all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas gasped for breath.
They looked at each other, all incredibly excited, their bodies trembling.
Only Guanyin Bodhisattva, Manjushri Bodhisattva, and Samantabhadra Bodhisattva were not particularly excited after hearing this.
Because they already knew that the most important person to solve this problem was probably Sun Wukong.
They had already vaguely guessed about Sun Wukong's identity and knew about his special nature when he caused havoc in the Heavenly Palace.
However, although the three of them appeared somewhat calm, they were still somewhat moved when they looked at Tang Sanzang.
They were moved by Tang Sanzang's talent and enlightenment.
"But we don't know if the Victorious Fighting Buddha has fallen on hard times?"
A Buddha suddenly raised this weighty question.
As soon as the words were spoken, the excitement of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas sank to the bottom, and they were all filled with unease.
“Wukong is far away in the Eastern Continent of Divine Victory. In my opinion, he should not have suffered any calamity.”
"However, I'm not sure if Wukong already knows about the calamity in the Buddhist realm, and if he doesn't, how should we inform him!"
Tang Sanzang said with a solemn expression.
"It's a pity we've lost all our magic power, otherwise a simple telepathic spell would have been enough to notify Wukong!"
Guanyin sighed softly.
"Although my cultivation has recovered somewhat, my magical power is still limited, and I cannot cross the two realms to notify Wukong!"
Tang Sanzang's expression darkened slightly.
Upon hearing this, all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas shook their heads repeatedly, looking dejected.
Upon seeing this, Tang Sanzang pondered deeply for a moment.
Suddenly, he spoke up: "I have another idea, but I don't know if it will work?"
"What method?"
Upon hearing this, all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas perked up.

"As you all probably know, Wukong protected me on my journey to the West to obtain the Buddhist scriptures, and our bond has become exceptionally deep. Over the years, our hearts have become one!"
"I want to call out Wukong's name to notify him!"
"I just don't know if it's possible? Will Wukong be able to sense it?"
Tang Sanzang thought for a moment and said.
Upon hearing this, all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas were taken aback; this method seemed rather mysterious.
However, after thinking about it for a moment, they felt that having something was better than not having it.
Although this method is a bit unreliable, it might just work.
"Alright, Sanzang, let's try your method!"
"I think Wukong might be able to sense it!"
"In addition, I still have a little bit of magic power left in my body, I'll give that to you too!"
Guanyin clasped her hands together and spoke.
"Amitabha Buddha, a little bit has also accumulated in my body!"
Samantabhadra Bodhisattva said.
"Amitabha Buddha, I can also offer some small assistance!"
Manjushri Bodhisattva also spoke.
"We can too!"
The other Buddhas and Bodhisattvas also spoke up, offering their help to Tang Sanzang.
These people are all elite masters in Buddhism.
Even if they are sealed by Wutian, they can still absorb some spiritual energy from the surrounding air and convert it into magic power based on their years of cultivation experience.
Although these magical powers are negligible, they are better than nothing.
