Nezha Is Born

Kunlun Mountain, Jade Void Palace.

Yuanshi opened his eyes, his fingertips twitched slightly, he calculated for a moment, and then said indifferently, "Shen Gongbao has left the mountain and gone to Chaoge."

Her voice reached the ears of every disciple in the hall.

Upon hearing this, Guangchengzi, who was at the head of the group, bowed deeply and said, "Master, this boy is wicked and may cause trouble. Should I go down the mountain to stop him?"

Yuanshi shook his head slightly, "No need. His obsession is too deep, and his fate is sealed. This is destiny, which cannot be changed by human power. I hereby issue my Imperial Decree: you Twelve Golden Immortals, quietly guard your caves, quietly recite the Yellow Court Classic, and quietly observe the changes. Do not easily get involved in the karma of the mortal world."

"Disciples will obey Master's orders!" all the immortals replied in unison.

Just then, among the Twelve Golden Immortals, a Daoist priest stepped forward with a smile; it was none other than the True Man Taiyi.

She bowed and smiled, "Master, I have heard that Li Jing, the general of Chentang Pass in the mortal realm, has a wife who has been pregnant for three years and six months without giving birth. Perhaps the child in her womb has some connection with our sect. How about I descend to the mortal realm for a visit?"

Yuanshi a moment's thought, Yuan Shi understood the cause and effect.

"However, that Spirit Pearl Child is destined to undergo a tribulation in this mortal world. You should go and enlighten it."

After saying this, Yuanshi changed the subject and solemnly warned, "But you must remember that you can only Preaching the Dao disciples and pass on your teachings, teaching them how to make a living. You must never interfere too much in the struggles of the mortal world."

"Disciple understands!"

True Man Taiyi received the Imperial Decree with a beaming smile, rode on auspicious clouds, and headed straight for the shores of the East Sea.

Meanwhile, Chaoge City.

Shen Gongbao gazed at the majestic and awe-inspiring capital city, his expression complex and unreadable.

He touched the Leopard Skin Pouch that had been with him for many years at his waist, and let out a cold snort in the direction of Kunlun Mountain: "Jiang Ziya, you may take your broad road, but I will take my narrow bridge."

My name is not on the Investiture of the Gods?

This time, I will stir up a storm and show you who is truly the pillar of the nation, capable of securing peace and stability and assisting the Human Emperor!

Having said that, he straightened his clothes, held his head high, and strode towards the city gate.

Human Emperor Hall, Di Xin was engrossed in a mountain of memorials Grand Tutor Wen Zhong speak:

"Your Majesty, a man claiming to be an enlightened cultivator from Kunlun Mountain, named Shen Gongbao, has come to the palace seeking an audience. He says he has ten strategies for securing the country and bringing peace to the nation, which he wishes to present to Your Majesty."

Upon hearing this, Di Xin raised an eyebrow slightly. "Oh? A Kunlun cultivator? Summon him."

Shen Gongbao strode into the hall, facing the supreme ruler, showing no trace of flattery, but only performing a respectful and dignified Daoist salute:

"Shen Gongbao, a man from the mountains, greets Your Majesty."

Hearing that Xiqi is stirring with ambition and the world is in turmoil, I, a humble Daoist, offer ten strategies to strengthen the foundation and deter Xiqi, so as to ensure the eternal stability of my Great Shang Dynasty!

News of this quickly reached the inner palace.

When Empress Jiang heard that Shen Gongbao, a former disciple of the Chan Sect who had attained enlightenment through demonic possession, had entered the palace to meet the Emperor, she was extremely anxious and rushed to the inner palace to find Di Xin.

"His Majesty!"

Her face was filled with worry. "I have heard that this person is a demon who has attained enlightenment, and is also a renegade of the Chan Sect. He is eccentric and likely no good person. Your Majesty must not trust him!"

Di Xin put down the bamboo slips in his hand, helped up his beloved wife, and gently comforted her, "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. Let's observe her words and actions first."

If he truly possesses extraordinary talent, why shouldn't I employ him? If he harbors ulterior motives, with Grand Tutor Wen here, he certainly won't be able to cause any trouble."

Meanwhile, at Chentang Pass, the General's Mansion.

"Ah!"

A piercing scream tore through the night sky, heart-wrenching and devastating.

Inside the mansion, the lights were on, and midwives carried bloody water in and out, their faces pale and their steps hurried.

The atmosphere in the courtyard was extremely oppressive.

Li Jing, clad in armor, paced back and forth, his hand on the hilt of his sword.

concern.

Anxious.

Three years and six months!

What on earth is inside this belly? It's something unheard of throughout history!

He had a bad feeling; it was probably a demon!

Just as he was feeling uneasy, a terrified scream suddenly erupted from the delivery room.

"She's given birth! The lady has given birth!"

Li Jing's heart tightened, and just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, the midwife's next words plunged him into an icy abyss.

"Master, it's... a lump of flesh!"

Meat balls?

What utterly absurd this is!

Li Jing's mind went blank for a moment, and he could no longer contain himself.

"Evildoer!"

He roared, drew his sword from his waist, and rushed into the room.

On the bed, his wife Madam Yin, was deathly pale and barely breathing.

On the ground, there was a huge, blood-red ball of flesh, rolling around erratically.

This... this is the child Li Jing has been waiting for for over three years?

"A demon has brought disaster to our home; you must not be allowed to live!"

Li Jing's eyes turned bloodshot, and his murderous intent surged.

He had guarded Chentang Pass for many years, slaying countless demons and monsters. How could he tolerate such evil spirits appearing in his own residence!

Without the slightest hesitation, the sword in his hand flashed with a cold light and slashed down fiercely!

He was determined to completely destroy this ominous creature!

A crisp sound rang out, like metal clashing.

The sword struck the fleshy ball as if it had struck something indestructible.

The next moment, with a crack, the fleshy ball split open.

Ten thousand rays of light shot into the sky!

The dazzling golden light, mixed with the auspicious mist, instantly illuminated the entire delivery room as bright as day.

From within the light, a child leaped out.

He looked about three or four years old, with delicate features and bright, star-like eyes that were incredibly lively.

Upon landing, the child saw Li Jing standing with his sword. Far from being afraid, he blinked his big eyes and called out in a clear voice, "Daddy!"

The word "Father" sent a jolt through Li Jing, as if he had been struck by lightning.

He stood there, frozen in place, his mind blank.

The demon called him "father"?

What exactly happened?

After a brief moment of surprise and doubt, an even more raging anger erupted.

A trick! It must be this demon's trick!

"Shut up! I, Li Jing, have no son as monstrous as you!"

He raised his sword again, his killing intent even stronger.

The more extraordinary this monster is, the less it should be allowed to live, otherwise it will surely become a great scourge in the future!

Just as his sword was about to strike, a clear Daoist chant came from the heavens. "General Li, spare his life!"

Before the words were even finished, auspicious clouds gathered in the sky, and cranes cried out.

A Daoist priest with an ethereal and beautiful appearance, holding a whisk, arrived gracefully on a crane and landed in the courtyard.

The visitor was none other than the True Man Taiyi!

Seeing this, Li Jing forcibly stopped his sword strike, frowned, and demanded, "Who are you, Daoist? Why are you stopping me from slaying this demon!"

True Man Taiyi bowed and smiled, lightly flicking his whisk, displaying the demeanor of a highly accomplished person.

"General, you misunderstand. This child is not a demon, but the reincarnation of Spirit Pearl Child of my sect. He is destined to become my disciple, and we are father and son."

"The reincarnation of Spirit Pearl Child?"

Li Jing looked incredulous and sneered, "Daoist, how can you prove it with mere words?"

You call him Spirit Pearl Child? I think he's more like a harbinger of doom!

How could a monster who was pregnant for three years and six months and was born as a ball of flesh be a reincarnation of an immortal?

"Hehe, General, don't be anxious."

True Man Taiyi scoffed, pointing at the child with a smile, "The extraordinary treasures he was born with are all magical artifacts he carried with him in his previous life. How could ordinary demons possess them? This is proof enough!"

Seemingly sensing True Man Taiyi's words, the child chuckled and raised his little hand...
