Di Xiao Arrives at Chentang Pass, Nezha is Born, Li Jing is Shocked!

Time flew by in the blink of an eye.

After the Great Shang Dynasty's morning court session had ended.

Imperial Study of Longevity Immortal Palace.

With a thought from Di Xin, Di Xiao's figure appeared out of thin air before him.

Di Xin said, "Di Xiao, make a trip to Chentang Pass."

"Li Jing's third son will be born tomorrow. When the time comes, bring him back to Chaoge!"

Di Xiao nodded. "All right!"

With that, Di Xiao vanished into the air and left.

At the same time, Li Jing, the Commander of Chentang Pass, was accompanying his wife, Yin Shiniang, within the residence.

Li Jing said, "My lady, you've been pregnant for three years and six months now. When will you finally give birth to the child in your womb?"

Yin Shiniang shook her head. "Husband, how could I know?"

"But it truly is strange. Ordinary children are generally born after ten months of pregnancy."

"I've been pregnant for three years and six months already. Could I have conceived some kind of monster?"

For a moment, Yin Shiniang was filled with boundless worry.

Li Jing said, "My lady, there is no need to worry."

"It is said that the longer a child remains in the womb, the more extraordinary the child will be after birth."

"I believe the child in your womb will surely be an exceptional genius!"

Yin Shiniang said, "I can only hope it is as you say, Husband."

Just then, a servant from the Commander's Residence of Chentang Pass came to report.

"Reporting to the Commander, a middle-aged man has arrived outside the Commander's Residence, claiming that he wishes to visit you!"

Li Jing asked, "Who is he?"

The servant respectfully replied, "Commander, that middle-aged man did not say."

"He said that once you saw him, you would know who he was!"

Li Jing said, "All right, I understand!"

With that, the servant withdrew.

Li Jing said, "My lady, I'll go see who has come to visit."

Yin Shiniang said, "Go ahead, Husband."

Li Jing nodded, rose to his feet, and headed for the main gate.

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

Di Xiao was waiting when a series of footsteps sounded.

"Tap. Tap, tap, tap, tap!"

Led by several guards, Li Jing swiftly arrived at the gates of the Commander's Residence.

The moment Li Jing saw Di Xiao, his face filled with shock.

He then hurried over to Di Xiao.

Just as Li Jing was about to perform the ceremonial bow between ruler and subject, a voice rang out in his mind.

"Li Jing, there is no need for such formalities. Do not reveal My identity!"

"Li Jing, simply address Me as Brother Huang!"

Li Jing replied through voice transmission, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Li Jing then said, "Welcome, Brother Huang. Please enter the residence so we may talk!"

Di Xiao nodded. "Good. That suits My wishes perfectly!"

With that, Di Xiao and Li Jing entered the Commander's Residence of Chentang Pass side by side.

Reception Hall of the Commander's Residence of Chentang Pass.

After the maidservants of the Commander's Residence had brewed tea for Li Jing and Di Xiao, Li Jing waved them away.

At this moment, only Di Xiao and Li Jing remained in the reception hall.

Li Jing respectfully said, "Your Majesty, have You come this time because of the unborn child in my wife's womb?"

Di Xiao said, "That is correct!"

Li Jing said, "Your Majesty, my wife Yin Shiniang has been pregnant for three years and six months, yet there has not been the slightest sign that the child is about to be born."

"Could it be that Your Majesty knows when the child in my wife's womb will be born?"

Di Xiao nodded. "I do!"

Li Jing hurriedly asked, "Your Majesty, when?"

Di Xiao said, "Today!"

Li Jing hurriedly asked, "What? Today???"

Di Xiao nodded. "That's right. To be precise, ten shichen from now!"

Upon hearing this, Li Jing hurriedly rose to his feet and respectfully bowed to Di Xiao.

"Thank you for informing me, Your Majesty. This humble subject will have the steward prepare everything at once!"

Then Li Jing called, "Attend me!"

Not long after Li Jing's words fell, an old man in his fifties came before him.

Li Jing said, "Steward, Madam is giving birth today. Quickly prepare everything!"

The steward cried out in surprise, "What? Commander, the child in Madam's womb is being born today?"

Li Jing nodded. "That's right. Go make the preparations."

The steward bowed respectfully. "Yes, Commander!"

Afterward, Li Jing continued accompanying Di Xiao in the reception hall.

Meanwhile, at Mount Qianyuan's Golden Light Cave!

An elderly man with white hair and beard, dressed in white robes and possessing the bearing of an immortal, opened his eyes.

This white-haired, immortal-looking elder was none other than Taiyi True Person, one of the Elucidation Sect's Twelve Golden Immortals!

Taiyi True Person said, "The time has come!"

With that, Taiyi True Person rose and departed Mount Qianyuan's Golden Light Cave.

Above the void of the Mount Qianyuan range, Taiyi True Person glanced in the direction of Chentang Pass in Great Shang.

Then Taiyi True Person used the Elucidation Sect's peerless escape art, the Earth-Traveling Golden Light Art.

With a flash of golden light, Taiyi True Person's figure vanished directly from the void.

Time flew by in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, the servants and maids of the Commander's residence in Chentang Pass had all begun bustling about.

In the reception hall of the Commander's residence.

As Li Jing accompanied Di Xiao, his eyes kept drifting toward the room where his wife was.

Di Xiao said, "Li Jing, there is no need to worry. The child will surely be born safely."

Li Jing said, "Your Majesty, how could this humble subject not worry?"

Di Xiao said, "Li Jing, concern has thrown you into disarray. Steady yourself and wait calmly for the child's birth!"

Li Jing replied respectfully, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Then Li Jing stood to one side, quietly awaiting the child's birth.

Very soon, a startled cry came from Yin Shiniang's room.

"How could this happen? Why did Madam give birth to a ball of flesh????"

The instant he heard the cry, Li Jing hurriedly rushed into Yin Shiniang's room.

Upon entering, Li Jing saw a ball of flesh gleaming with golden light.

At once, Li Jing swiftly drew his sword and slashed at the ball of flesh.

A streak of sword light split the ball of flesh cleanly in two.

A naked child who looked three or four years old stood there, grinning at Li Jing.

Li Jing instantly flew into a rage. "What demon are you? How dare you remain in my wife's womb for three years and six months?"

"Speak at once! Otherwise, this old man will cut you down today!!!"

Seeing Li Jing's face twisted with fury as he prepared to strike again—

The child trembled in terror and hurriedly hid beside Yin Shiniang.

Just then, Di Xiao entered the room.

Di Xiao said, "Li Jing, stay your hand!"

When Li Jing saw Di Xiao, he abandoned his stance to attack.

Li Jing hurriedly said, "Brother Huang, what do you think?"

Di Xiao transmitted his voice, "Li Jing, you do not know this."

"The child your wife has borne is the reincarnation of Spirit Pearl, the child attendant by Nuwa Sage's side!"

Li Jing's expression changed drastically. "What? Spirit Pearl by Nuwa's side? Reincarnated as my third son?"

Di Xiao said, "That's right. Spirit Pearl reincarnated as your son with a mission."

Li Jing hurriedly replied, "Your Majesty, since this child is Spirit Pearl's reincarnation—"

"Then why not kill him outright?"

"Then Hongjun, Nuwa, and the others' plans will go straight down the drain."

Di Xiao shook his head. "No. Kill it now."

"He will still continue reincarnating until he fulfills his mission!"

Li Jing hurriedly asked, "Your Majesty, then what should we do?"

Di Xiao said, "I have my own way!"
