Jade Cauldron True Person Begins Tempering Yang Xuan's Body; Manjushri and Samantabhadra Arrive at Chentang Pass!

Jade Spring Mountain, Golden Glow Cave.

Inside the secret chamber, Jade Cauldron True Person pointed at the enormous pool before him and said:

"Yang Xuan, quickly take off your clothes and jump into the pool!"

Yang Xuan asked doubtfully, "Master, what is in this pool?"

"Why is the water in this pool so multicolored?"

"And why does the water in the pool give off the scent of powerful spirit medicine?"

Jade Cauldron True Person said, "Yang Xuan, what is in this pool is not water."

"This pool contains multicolored spiritual liquid, top-grade spiritual liquid that I specially refined to temper your body."

"Only this can further strengthen your physical body, after which you can cultivate the cultivation method of our Jade Void Palace!"

"Yang Xuan, why are you still not taking off your clothes? What are you dawdling for?"

Seeing Jade Cauldron True Person's rebuke, Yang Xuan hurriedly removed his clothes and jumped straight into the pool.

Seeing this, Jade Cauldron True Person lightly pointed a finger at Yang Xuan.

He transmitted a body-tempering cultivation method to Yang Xuan.

Jade Cauldron True Person said, "Yang Xuan, follow the body-tempering cultivation method I taught you and use the spiritual liquid in the pool to temper your physical body!"

Yang Xuan nodded. "Yes, Master!"

Afterward, Yang Xuan circulated the body-tempering cultivation method Jade Cauldron True Person had taught him and absorbed the spiritual liquid in the pool.

Seeing Yang Xuan enter a cultivation state, Jade Cauldron True Person left the secret chamber.

Ji Province of Great Shang.

Two figures sped through the void toward Chentang Pass.

Outside the gates of the Chentang Pass Commander's Residence.

Two figures descended before the gates of the Chentang Pass Commander's Residence.

The guards stationed at the Chentang Pass Commander's Residence regarded the two suddenly descending figures as formidable enemies.

"Who are you people? How dare you trespass into the Chentang Pass Commander's Residence!"

In an instant, the guards stationed at the Chentang Pass Commander's Residence surrounded the two newcomers.

At that moment, one of the two men in the center, a middle-aged Daoist, said, "Do not misunderstand. We have come to visit Li Jing, the commander of Chentang Pass!"

"Please inform him for us!"

Upon hearing that they had come to visit the commander, the guards of the Chentang Pass Commander's Residence finally looked somewhat less hostile.

However, none of the guards relaxed their vigilance. They still watched the two men with guarded attention.

The captain of the guards said, "Who are you? Where do you come from?"

The two men said, "We are Daoist Manjushri and Daoist Samantabhadra!"

"We come from Jade Void Palace on Kunlun Mountain, disciples of Yuanshi Tianzun, the Sage Realm expert of the Heavenly Dao!"

When the guards of the Chentang Pass Commander's Residence heard that the two men came from Jade Void Palace on Kunlun Mountain and were Yuanshi Tianzun's disciples,

their gazes toward them immediately became filled with reverence.

Who in the Primordial World had not heard of Yuanshi Tianzun, the Sage Realm expert of the Heavenly Dao?

The captain of the guards then said, "Please wait here. I will report this to the commander."

Daoist Manjushri and Daoist Samantabhadra nodded.

After saying that, the captain of the guards hurriedly turned and entered the Commander's Residence.

At that moment, Li Jing, the commander of Chentang Pass, was in the main hall keeping Yin Shiniang company.

Just then, the captain of the guards at the gate entered the main hall.

The captain respectfully bowed to Li Jing. "Reporting to Commander, two Daoists have arrived at the gates of the Commander's Residence and wish to visit you!"

Li Jing and Yin Shiniang looked up at the captain of the guards upon hearing this.

Li Jing asked in surprise, "Two Daoists?"

"Did they say what their Daoist titles were and where they came from?"

The captain said, "Commander, they did."

"One of the two Daoists is Daoist Manjushri, and the other is Daoist Samantabhadra!"

"These two Daoists came from Jade Void Palace on Kunlun Mountain and are disciples of Yuanshi Tianzun, the Sage Realm expert of the Heavenly Dao!"

"What? They came from Jade Void Palace on Kunlun Mountain?"

"They are also disciples of Yuanshi Tianzun, the Sage Realm expert of the Heavenly Dao?"

The captain nodded. "Yes, Commander!"

Li Jing thought to himself, What do two of Yuanshi Tianzun's disciples want with me at Chentang Pass?

"Moreover, Jin Zha and Mu Zha went to Chaoge with His Majesty's Three Corpses incarnation some days ago."

Could they have come for the child in my wife's womb?

For a moment, Li Jing considered this possibility.

This was because the Human Emperor's Three Corpses incarnation had previously told him about the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation.

After pondering for a moment, Li Jing knew how to respond to Daoist Manjushri and Daoist Samantabhadra.

Li Jing said, "Good. Come with me to meet them!"

The captain respectfully replied, "Yes, Commander!"

With that, the captain led Li Jing toward the gate.

When Li Jing arrived at the gate, he saw two middle-aged Daoists dressed in Daoist robes.

Li Jing sensed an exceedingly terrifying power from the two men.

At once, Li Jing was certain that these two Daoists were disciples of Yuanshi Tianzun from Jade Void Palace on Kunlun Mountain.

Li Jing then cupped his hands and said, "Two Daoist brothers, you have come from afar. Please enter the residence so we may speak!"

Daoist Manjushri and Daoist Samantabhadra hurriedly returned the salute. "Commander Li, we have come uninvited and disturbed you. We hope you will forgive us!"

Li Jing said, "Two Daoist brothers, what are you saying? Please enter the residence so we may speak!"

Daoist Manjushri and Daoist Samantabhadra nodded with smiles.

Afterward, Daoist Manjushri and Daoist Samantabhadra followed Li Jing into the Commander's Residence.

The reception hall of the Commander's Residence.

After Daoist Manjushri and Daoist Samantabhadra took their seats, maids from the Commander's Residence prepared tea for them.

After the maids withdrew, Li Jing looked at Daoist Manjushri and Daoist Samantabhadra.

Li Jing said, "May I ask why you two Daoist brothers have come to see me?"

Daoist Manjushri and Daoist Samantabhadra smiled. "Commander Li, we have come for Jin Zha and Mu Zha."

Upon hearing this, Li Jing immediately stood and looked at Daoist Manjushri and Daoist Samantabhadra.

Seeing Li Jing's actions and expression, Daoist Manjushri and Daoist Samantabhadra were somewhat puzzled.

Daoist Manjushri and Daoist Samantabhadra asked, "What is wrong, Commander Li?"

Li Jing said, "Two Daoist brothers, you have come too late."

Daoist Manjushri and Daoist Samantabhadra sprang to their feet in alarm.

"What? We came too late?"

Li Jing nodded. "That is correct!"

Daoist Manjushri and Daoist Samantabhadra hurriedly asked, "Commander Li, what do you mean by that?"

Li Jing said, "Two Daoist brothers, my eldest son Jin Zha and second son Mu Zha left with a middle-aged man some days ago."

Daoist Manjushri and Daoist Samantabhadra were greatly shocked upon hearing this. "What? Jin Zha and Mu Zha left some days ago?"

"Commander Li, do you know where Jin Zha and Mu Zha went?"

Li Jing shook his head. "I do not know!"

Unwilling to give up, Daoist Manjushri and Daoist Samantabhadra hurriedly asked, "Commander Li, then you should at least know who that middle-aged man was, correct?"

Li Jing nodded. "That, I do know!"

Daoist Manjushri and Daoist Samantabhadra hurriedly asked, "Who was he?"

Li Jing said, "That middle-aged man called himself Yang Mei Immortal!"

Li Jing repeated to Daoist Manjushri and Daoist Samantabhadra what Di Xuan had told him.

Daoist Manjushri and Daoist Samantabhadra cried out in shock, "What? Yang Mei Immortal?"

"Commander Li, are you certain that middle-aged man called himself Yang Mei Immortal?"

Li Jing said, "I am certain!"

"Because that middle-aged man said that Jin Zha and Mu Zha would return in ten years to reunite with us."

Afterward, that middle-aged man took Jin Zha and Mu Zha away!
