- Wu Xing Shan: Shijia Rulai Zhang (Five Elements Mountain: Shaka Nyorai Palm): The Noble Phantasm of Xuanzang Sanzang. It borrows a small portion of Shakyamuni's power, the venerable Buddha and her mentor (of a previous existence) that resides in heavens, whereupon it summons the “edge of the world” that Sun Wukong once reached, that is, the very palm of Shakyamuni. It falls down from the skies and chastises the antagonists that show contempt for Buddhism.

Upon activation, Xuanzang is wrapped in a circle of light, and she temporarily attains a limited Buddha form. Although her offensive ability does not improve much, she gains the ability to repel most attacks, including mental interference, abnormal status attacks, and on top of that, apply a large recovery ability continuously around her own position. However, after using this, her entire Saint Graph will be destroyed and Xuanzang will disappear.
