Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything-Chapter 1032: Demon Transformation Pool

Guanyin looked at the mysterious figure before her in astonishment, feeling deeply puzzled.

Not long ago, the Giant Scorpion had bravely ventured into the Mortal World, bringing back a lost soul, which Guanyin curiously inspected.

This lost soul was completely unfamiliar to her and had no reputation whatsoever in the Three Realms and Six Paths. Moreover, it had no cultivation level, simply being an ordinary lost soul.

Though puzzled, she wondered why such an unremarkable lost soul would warrant the Giant Scorpion’s personal journey to the Human Realm to retrieve it.

However, Guanyin didn’t speak much about it, merely keeping the matter in her heart.

Yet, only a few days had passed, and even a mysterious figure had arrived in the Demon Realm specifically because of this lost soul!?

"Who on earth is that lost soul!?" At this moment, Guanyin’s heart was filled with tremendous astonishment.

It was one thing for the Giant Scorpion to fetch it from the Mortal World, but now, even this mysterious figure was so concerned.

Clearly, that lost soul couldn’t just be an ordinary person, could it?

"Oh? Do you know where he is now?" Hearing Guanyin’s words and confirming that Fahai’s soul was in the Great Nirvana Temple, Jiang Liu asked.

"This..." Guanyin’s face showed a look of difficulty.

"What? Can’t you tell me?" Seeing the look of difficulty on Guanyin’s face, Jiang Liu’s tone deepened slightly.

"It’s not that I can’t say; if it were just an ordinary soul, of course, I could say. But who exactly is this lost soul?" Feeling Jiang Liu’s tone grow slightly deeper, Guanyin slightly shook her head in response.

"Who exactly? He’s just a very ordinary soul, with nothing remarkable about him!" Jiang Liu, cloaked in a Shadow Robe, shook his head in response to Guanyin’s inquiry.

"..." Guanyin gave no reply to Jiang Liu’s words.

However, judging by her expression, it was clear she didn’t believe Jiang Liu’s words.

Just an ordinary soul? With an unconcealed skeptical gaze, if she weren’t unable to oppose the mysterious figure before her, Guanyin would have pointed at his nose and cursed him.

Is this some kind of joke? If it were just an ordinary soul, would it warrant his personal visit to the Great Nirvana Temple?

Would it compel a powerful being at the late stage of Great Luo Golden Immortal like the Giant Scorpion to personally guide him from the Mortal World?

The look in Guanyin’s questioning eyes was something Jiang Liu could also easily deduce.

After a short silence, he said, "In my view, he is indeed just an ordinary mortal soul, yet I myself want to know why the Giant Scorpion brought him here!"

"Is that really so?" Guanyin still wore a doubtful expression, questioning Jiang Liu.

"If there were indeed anything unusual, do you think I wouldn’t admit it? You underestimate me!" Jiang Liu’s words to Guanyin were not angered, but his tone was impressively confident.

Jiang Liu’s words left Guanyin silent.

Though she wasn’t familiar with this mysterious figure in front of her, judging by his actions along the way, he seemed a lawless entity.

Such a person generally disdains deceit.

However, after a moment of silence, Guanyin spoke again, "If that’s so, why do you hide and dare not reveal yourself?"

"The reason I don’t reveal myself is because the time to show my face hasn’t come yet!" Upon hearing Guanyin’s words, Jiang Liu replied.

"Could it be? Do I know you?" After a moment’s contemplation, Guanyin suddenly asked Jiang Liu.

This question took Jiang Liu slightly aback.

He then feigned a casual demeanor, questioning back, "Why do you say that?"

"If you and I were strangers, meeting in private, there’d be no need for you to hide your figure. From this perspective, the biggest possibility is that I know you, and have known you for a long time!" Guanyin spoke, expressing her reasoning.

Guanyin’s reasoning had some merit.

If it weren’t for his identity as Tang Monk, which was well-known throughout the Three Realms and Six Paths, why would he need to use the Shadow Robe to conceal himself?

"Who are you really?"

Though Jiang Liu didn’t admit it, neither did he deny it, leading Guanyin to believe her deduction was correct. Consequently, she watched Jiang Liu intently and asked.

In her heart, Guanyin also speculated on who among those she knew could match the identity of this mysterious figure before her.

Suspects flashed through her mind, each ultimately denied.

Such contemplation yielded nothing!

"Since I hide my appearance, naturally I wish for my identity to remain unknown! There’s no need to question further!" Hearing Guanyin’s words, Jiang Liu lightly shook his head, evidently not intending to reveal his identity.

"But, you just said, now is not the time for you to show yourself, which means you will eventually reveal yourself, right? Will you unveil your true face to the world?" Guanyin asked Jiang Liu.

"Indeed, that day will come!" Jiang Liu nodded in agreement.

Currently, it is not the time for me to reveal myself, but once my journey to the West for scriptures ends at the Great Thunder Monastery, it will be the final battle.

By then, treasures like the Tai Chi Diagram can’t be hidden, and my identity will certainly be revealed.

"Is that day near?" Seeing Jiang Liu nod in acknowledgment, Guanyin immediately asked him again.

"Not far! It will probably be a matter of five or six years!" Hearing Guanyin’s words, Jiang Liu thought for a moment before replying.

It’s been almost seven years since I came to the world of Journey to the West, and I’ve been on the journey for about six and a half years, which is more than half done.

In Jiang Liu’s view, the day he reaches the Great Thunder Monastery of the Western Heaven should be about five or six years away.

"It seems indeed not too far away!" Hearing Jiang Liu’s words, Guanyin nodded and said.

Yes, for immortals and Buddhas, a mere five or six years is just a blink of an eye, naturally not considered far away.

"So? Where is Fahai’s lost soul?"

Not willing to talk too much about his own situation, Jiang Liu changed the subject and immediately asked Guanyin.

"As far as I know, after the Giant Scorpion took the soul back, it was thrown into the Demon Transformation Pool!" Guanyin said frankly without hesitation when Jiang Liu asked about the whereabouts of Fahai’s lost soul.

"Demon Transformation Pool? Could it be? Does the Great Nirvana Temple itself have the power of reincarnation?" Hearing Guanyin’s words, Jiang Liu was filled with surprise.

"In the past, Empress Earth transformed into reincarnation, a great benevolence for all beings in the world. However, the Ancestral Witch Empress Earth’s power was only comparable to a Quasi-Saint."

"Wutian Buddha also has the cultivation level of a Quasi-Saint. Using the Demon Transformation Pool to allow lost souls to be reborn is naturally possible!" Sensing Jiang Liu’s tone of surprise, Guanyin explained.

While explaining, Guanyin was also secretly surprised; aren’t these common knowledge?

This mysterious person before her seems unaware?

After a slight pause, Guanyin further explained, "The Heavenly Court also has the Immortal Transformation Pool, through which souls entering the Heavenly Dao can be reincarnated. Similarly, the Buddhist Great Thunder Monastery also possesses a Life Transformation Pool, and their effects are largely similar."

"I see!" Hearing Guanyin’s explanation, Jiang Liu nodded in understanding.

Among the three realms and six paths, certain beings can directly reincarnate through the Heavenly Dao when they cycle through life and death.

Therefore, after reincarnating once in the Heavenly Court’s Immortal Transformation Pool, one can become an Immortal Maiden or Divine Power Warrior.

Of course, some who inherently possess some combat skills could also become Heavenly Soldiers.

Having learned the whereabouts of Fahai’s lost soul from Guanyin’s mouth, Jiang Liu had no further inclination to converse.

After ascertaining the location of the Demon Transformation Pool, he bid Guanyin farewell and proceeded directly toward it.

Located within the Great Nirvana Temple, the Demon Transformation Pool is certainly a very important place, guarded by several demons.

However, guarding the Demon Transformation Pool naturally does not require strong individuals of the Great Luo Golden Immortal level, so Jiang Liu, with his cultivation level, could secretly approach the pool without alerting anyone.

In a secluded part of the Great Nirvana Temple, a dark red Demon Transformation Pool glistens with a blood-like hue, imparting a bizarre and wicked feeling.

Arriving there, Jiang Liu could clearly see a soul soaking in the Demon Transformation Pool.

As the pool water took effect, the form of this soul appeared increasingly solid.

"Fahai!? He is indeed here!" Seeing the soul soaking in the pool water, Jiang Liu was secretly delighted.

After spending so much time searching for Fahai’s whereabouts—having visited the Ksitigarbha Cave and the Flame Cloud Sage Cave, and finally arriving at the Great Nirvana Temple—I have finally found Fahai.

However, now that I’ve located Fahai’s soul, Jiang Liu didn’t think of taking him away immediately.

Thinking it over, he hid nearby, waiting in silence.

Fahai’s physical form isn’t yet fully complete, and taking him away now would be to waste previous efforts.

Having a physical body clearly surpasses gathering merely a soul fragment from Fahai.

Thus, Jiang Liu concealed himself and waited for a few more days...

One day, Jiang Liu could feel that in the Demon Transformation Pool, Fahai’s soul had become solid, turning into a body of flesh and blood.

Meanwhile, not only was Jiang Liu observing secretly, but even the Giant Scorpion appeared personally, approaching the Demon Transformation Pool.

Clearly, she knew that Fahai’s soul was about to complete its demon transformation.
