Taiyi Zhenren: Ouch, this is a big shot!

Beyond the Heavens.

There are heavens beyond heavens, and this is no ordinary world.

There are gods beyond the heavens, and they are no ordinary immortals or deities.

In the world of Nezha: Birth of the Demon Child, there are the Three Pure Ones, the Nuwa Empress, and the Buddha. Among them, the Three Pure Ones are the most powerful, being the top immortals and gods in this world.

However, due to the limitations of this world, the Three Pure Ones of this world are only equivalent to the Heavenly Immortals of Heavens and Myriad Worlds.

The vast emptiness is a blank white expanse. Here, there is no heaven or earth, no things, only the Dao.

An elusive and ineffable existence.

The three Daoist patriarchs sat cross-legged in the void: one was an old man with white hair and a long beard, one was a middle-aged man with a dignified bearing and gray hair and beard, and one was a young Daoist.

The three were none other than the Three Pure Ones, the founders of Daoism.

They sat cross-legged in the void, their eyes flashing with divine light as they opened and closed, seeing through all things in the world.

What do you think?

Suddenly, the white-haired, long-bearded Taishang Laojun spoke calmly.

"Very strong." The young Shangqing Zhenjing Jade Emperor Daoist Lord Lingbao Heavenly Venerable, also known as the Tongtian Jiaozhu, was the first to answer.

He said he was very strong, but his expression showed no sign of tension; on the contrary, he seemed somewhat lazy.

Yuanshi Tianzun glanced indifferently at Tongtian, then said, "The Outer Realm Heavenly Demon are not worth worrying about."

Taishang Laojun nodded slightly and said, "But without that monkey, there will still be some trouble."

Tongtian said nonchalantly, "If we're missing a monkey, we can just make another one."

Yuanshi Tianzun: "That's all we can do."

Tongtian sneered, "What do you mean by 'only this way'? Does this show have to go on without the monkey? Our target isn't the monkey; what does his existence or non-existence have to do with us? If anyone should be worried, it should be those two bald monks."

Taishang Laojun calmly said, "Third brother, be careful with your words."

The Tongtian Jiaozhu snorted disdainfully, showing no respect whatsoever to Taishang Laojun.

He calmly asked, "What are your plans regarding the Investiture of the Gods?"

Taishang Laojun and Yuanshi Tianzun exchanged a glance, then fell silent.

Meanwhile, just as the Three Pure Ones were completely unconcerned about the changes in the human world and continued to discuss the matter of bestowing titles upon the gods, the entire land of the four continents was shaken by what happened in the Eastern Continent of Divine Victory.

This is especially true in the Eastern Continent of Divine Victory.

Countless meteors streaked across the sky, heading towards Flower-Fruit Mountain.

Furthermore, many powerful beings have emerged.

Nuwa of the Nuwa Palace, Zhen Zhenyuanzi of the Wuzhuang Temple, the Two Western Saints, and so on.

However, none of this mattered much to Li Hao, because he was facing another very important problem, or more accurately, a minor trouble.

Chentang Pass, Li Family.

Li Hao's arrival attracted great attention from the entire Li Family, especially Li Jing and his wife, and Taiyi Zhenren.

Among them, Taiyi Zhenren showed the strongest emotions, not for any other reason than that Nezha was his chosen disciple, and it was also crucial to whether he could advance further.

Now that his chosen Little White has been snatched away, that's bad enough, but for the person who snatched his Little White to dare to act arrogantly in front of him, Taiyi Zhenren simply cannot tolerate it.

Laozi head's already turned green with rage, if I keep putting up with this I'll become a turtle prime minister!

Taiyi Zhenren roared inwardly, his small eyes fixed on Li Hao, staring from outside the Li residence gate all the way to the living room.

Inside the living room.

The Li Family's living room is very large, measuring about seventy or eighty square meters.

Opposite the door was a low table, and on either side of the passageway below were several low tables, one black and one red, along with fox furs specifically for kneeling. The red fox furs were as lustrous as satin, shimmering with an unusual luster under the flickering oil lamp, like the sheen of fine porcelain.

Li Hao sat in the first seat on the left, Li Jing and his wife sat in the main seats above, and Taiyi Zhenren sat in the first seat on the right opposite Li Hao. This scene was not suitable for Taiyi Zhenren, since although he and Nezha had a master-disciple relationship, they had not yet undergone the formal apprenticeship ceremony.

However, since Taiyi Zhenren insisted on coming along, the two of them had no choice but to comply.

They could only pray that Taiyi Zhenren wouldn't cause too much trouble, otherwise they wouldn't know how to explain it to Nezha.

The atmosphere in the living room was somewhat somber at this moment.

Li Jing and his wife sat in the main seats at the head of the table, sizing up Li Hao.

With an extraordinary bearing and a face as fair as jade, he certainly had a very appealing appearance.

The two admired him in their hearts. They couldn't sense Li Hao's cultivation level, but they assumed that the gap between them was vast, and their awe grew even stronger.

Taiyi Zhenren strained his eyes and glared fiercely at Li Hao.

Li Hao didn't care at all. Sitting on the soft fox fur, he felt the fur naturally exuding a warm aura, making him feel exceptionally comfortable.

However, this feeling didn't bring Li Hao any special sensations. Instead, it gave rise to a strange thought in his mind: what kind of tragedy would occur if Yaya saw this fox pelt?

After a brief period of silence, Li Jing and his wife were the first to break the deadlock.

Li Jing cupped his hands and said, "I have never asked your name, sir, and where you cultivate on that sacred mountain."

Li Hao raised an eyebrow slightly.

Are they planning to check household registration?

However, tsk tsk.

Li Hao smiled and said, "My surname is Li, and my given name is Hao. I cultivate in the Outer Heavens."

Beyond the Heavens!

Everyone looked at Li Hao with surprise, especially Taiyi Zhenren, whose face was full of doubt and uncertainty.

The meaning of "the heaven beyond the heavens" signifies transcendence and looking down upon all living beings.

There are people in this world who can establish a Daoist temple in the outer heavens, but only a handful, such as the Three Pure Ones, the Human Emperor Nuwa, and the Two Sages of the West.

Thus, one can easily imagine the level of cultivation required for someone to establish a Daoist temple in the Outer Heavens.

Taiyi Zhenren was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed.

Beyond the Heavens!

Are you trying to make me laugh?

How could I, a dignified disciple of the Chan Sect, not know how many great gods reside in the Outer Heavens?

Li Hao, do you think you're Haotian?

Taiyi Zhenren was disdainful and immediately concluded that Li Hao was a fraud. This was not for any other reason than that he had never heard of such a person in the Outer Heavens, nor had he ever heard Yuanshi Tianzun mention him. If such a person truly existed in the Outer Heavens, Yuanshi Tianzun would not have failed to mention him.

However, Taiyi Zhenren did not immediately launch an attack; instead, he behaved quite kindly.

He looked at Li Hao with a beaming smile, and his chubby figure made him look incredibly cheerful.

Li Jing and his wife didn't know as much about the Outer Heavens as Taiyi Zhenren, so they were unaware of its intricacies. When they heard that Li Hao was cultivating in the Outer Heavens, they simply assumed he had encountered a highly skilled master.

Li Jing said, "So you were cultivating in the Outer Heavens, senior. You are truly a highly accomplished master."

Li Hao smiled and said, "It's nothing."

Taiyi Zhenren patted his large belly and laughed heartily, "You're too modest, fellow Daoist. Those who can establish Daoist temples in the Outer Heavens are all super-powerful beings at the level of the Three Pure Ones, the Human Emperor Nuwa, etc. With such remarkable cultivation, fellow Daoist, no amount of praise is a problem."

Li Jing and his wife were completely astonished.

At the level of the Three Pure Ones (Dao Ancestors)?

Even if they were completely ignorant, they would know what the level of the Three Pure Ones (the Dao Ancestors) meant.

Li Jing asked in confusion, "Fellow Daoist, are you so extraordinary?"

Taiyi Zhenren laughed and said, "That's right."

Li Hao gave Taiyi Zhenren a deep look, and by now he understood what the other party meant. The other party seemed to be praising him, but in reality, he was questioning his identity and background and was deliberately teasing him.

After all, how could figures like the Three Pure Ones, the founders of Daoism, appear out of thin air?

only.

Li Hao's lips curled slightly as he said, "Fellow Daoist, do you have any doubts about my origins?"

The smile on Taiyi Zhenren's face grew even brighter.

He laughed loudly, "No, no, that's not true. My admiration for you is like a surging river, endless and boundless. There's a saying, 'The waters of the great river flow eastward,' no, it should be 'The waters of the Milky Way come from the heavens,' yes, that's the idea."

Li Hao picked up his teacup and watched Taiyi Zhenren's performance with a smile.

Seeing Li Hao's calm expression, Taiyi Zhenren couldn't help but feel uneasy.

That doesn't make sense!?

This fool should know that he has seen through his background, so why doesn't he seem nervous at all?

Is he feigning calm?

Yes, that must be it!

Taiyi Zhenren quickly thought he had figured out the secret and was relieved.

As for whether he might be wrong, Taiyi Zhenren never considered that.

Because there are so few great gods in the Outer Heavens, Taiyi Zhenren is confident that even if he drank a couple more jugs of wine, he would never make a mistake about such a matter.

Therefore, Taiyi Zhenren was extremely relieved.

He smiled at the puzzled Li Jing and his wife, and said, "Fellow Daoist Li is a great god from the Outer Heavens. Not to mention you, even I can't easily see him. This is Zha'er's good fortune. You should thank Fellow Daoist Li for his cultivation."

Hearing this, Li Jing and his wife became even more puzzled and suspicious.

A figure of the Three Pure Ones, a great figure whom even the Taiyi Zhenren could not easily meet?

Is it necessary to pay attention to Nezha, given his existence?

How could he be so approachable?

They were all cultivators; how could they not know the arrogance of cultivators? Putting aside everything else, what Dao Ancestor would idly wander around the mortal realm, acting like a wealthy young master?

Although the two had doubts about Li Hao, Li Hao did not do anything harmful to Nezha, and the cultivation methods he taught were genuine and effective. They could only suppress their doubts.

Li Jing glanced at the smug Taiyi Zhenren, then turned to Li Hao, who looked calm and composed, and respectfully asked, "Immortal Master, what brings you here today?"

Li Hao put down his teacup and smiled, "It's nothing. It's just that a monkey caused quite a commotion on the shores of the East Sea recently. I was planning to go to the East Sea to see what was going on and stopped by to see Nezha."

Monkeys causing trouble on the shores of the East Sea?

Everyone looked utterly astonished.

Li Jing asked in confusion, "Not long ago, did the immortal master say something?"

Li Hao nodded slightly and said, "That's right. The earthquake that shook the heavens and earth not long ago was caused by this monkey tearing the sky apart."

Tear the heavens and earth apart!

Li Jing and his wife were completely dumbfounded, and even Taiyi Zhenren was stunned.

What the hell is this freakish guy, tearing the sky apart and causing the heavens and earth to tremble at the drop of a hat?

Although Taiyi Zhenren had some doubts, he also knew that such a thing could not be hidden and would soon spread throughout the world, so the possibility that Li Hao was lying was very small.

Is it just a monkey that tore the sky apart and caused the heavens and earth to tremble?

Taiyi Zhenren was filled with doubt, unable to understand where this expert had come from.
