Innate Indestructible Spirit Light! Taiyi Takes a Disciple

"That is?"

In the land of the Human Race in the Nine Provinces, the True Person Taiyi sat cross-legged atop a cloud, gazing into the distance with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"The aura of Innate Indestructible Spirit Light?"

True Person Taiyi suddenly stood up and looked to his right with a serious expression.

There's no mistake, even though it was only for a brief moment, it was definitely the aura of Innate Indestructible Spirit Light.

The Innate Indestructible Spirit Light, as the name suggests, is born Innate, remains undamaged after birth, and will never dissipate or be destroyed.

Even if one is not a Saintly Dao Fruit or Hunyuan Dao Fruit, no matter how strong one is, one will not be able to destroy this Innate Indestructible Spirit Light.

If this still doesn't give you a clear idea... every Innate Spirit Treasure contains an Innate Indestructible Spirit Light.

It is precisely because of the existence of Innate Indestructible Spirit Light that Innate Spirit Treasure are called Innate Spirit Treasure.

Otherwise, no matter how powerful a spiritual treasure is, it wouldn't deserve to be called Innate Spirit Treasure.

It is precisely because of the existence of this Innate Indestructible Spirit Light that Innate Spirit Treasure may be damaged, but no Sage- level being has been able to destroy the Innate Indestructible Spirit Light within them.

With the passage of time, or with sufficient resources and materials, the damaged Innate Spirit Treasure will be restored to its original state and exist eternally.

Moreover, the existence of each ray of Innate Indestructible Spirit Light often represents a Supreme-Grade Innate Spirit Treasure.

Why?

Because all that is needed is a Supreme-Grade Acquired Spirit Treasure, plus a wisp of Innate Indestructible Spirit Light, which is equivalent to a Supreme-Grade Innate Spirit Treasure.

Once the Innate Indestructible Spirit Light combines with a spiritual treasure or evolves into Innate Spirit Treasure on its own, it can never be separated from it.

Therefore, compared to ordinary Innate Spirit Treasure, the existence of Innate Indestructible Spirit Light is even more precious.

A thousand thoughts flashed through his Primordial Spirit, and without the slightest hesitation, True Person Taiyi sped off in that direction.

Before long, a Human Race town appeared in front of True Person Taiyi in the distance.

Looking at the Human Race city before him, True Person Taiyi's expression changed slightly.

Although he was currently within the Human Race's Nine Provinces Barrier, the suppression within the Nine Provinces Barrier was not uniform across all areas.

Towns where Human Race congregate are far more effective at suppressing others than desolate wilderness.

Furthermore, given the concentration of Human Race and the presence of Human Path Karmic Luck, even a Great Daluo Golden Immortal would likely find it difficult to exert significant supernatural Divine Ability within this Human Race town.

But.

After only a slight hesitation, True Person Taiyi directly entered the Human Race town.

The town wasn't very large, and although it would suppress him somewhat, as Daluo Golden Immortal with many Innate Spirit Treasure protecting him, he naturally had no worries about safety.

A piece of Innate Indestructible Spirit Light is absolutely worth it, even if it's suppressed here for a while, or even if it stays here for tens of thousands of years or more.

Following the aura of the innate, Innate Indestructible Spirit Light he had glimpsed earlier, True Person Taiyi stepped into the Human Race town and stealthily moved in a certain direction.

On the city wall above which True Person Taiyi flew, the three large characters "Chentang Pass" stood tall.

Chentang Pass!

The Li residence!

As the commander-in-chief of Chentang Pass, Li Jing was in a sense practically the god of Chentang Pass, wielding both military and political power.

While Li Jing's residence wasn't extremely luxurious, it was still quite magnificent.

Of course, none of this mattered to True Person Taiyi.

Only...

Standing before the Li residence, True Person Taiyi looked at the mansion with extreme surprise in his eyes.

"The Karmic Luck of my Chan Sect?"

True Person Taiyi couldn't help but mutter to himself, his eyes filled with astonishment.

He actually saw the Karmic Luck of his Chan Sect in the residence of an official of the Human Race, and... this Karmic Luck was closely connected.

It is clearly not a matter of remoteness, but rather of extreme proximity.

Does this mean that the Innate Indestructible Spirit Light already belongs to one of his fellow disciples in the Chan Sect?

True Person Taiyi was deep in thought.

At that moment, Li Jing emerged from the mansion.

As early as when True Person Taiyi first arrived in front of the Li residence, some of the Li family's servants spotted True Person Taiyi.

Although he tried to conceal his aura, True Person Taiyi, as a Daluo Golden Immortal, did not restrain it in the slightest.

This behavior immediately reminded the servants in the mansion of an incident from the past, so they quickly informed Li Jing.

Upon learning that there was a Daoist priest with an air of otherworldly wisdom at the entrance, Li Jing dared not be negligent and hurriedly came out.

The moment he saw the True Person Taiyi before him, his heart skipped a beat. The servant had indeed been right; this Daoist...

Li Jing's face showed respect, and he quickly stepped forward, bowing slightly. "Li Jing, General of Chentang Pass, greets this Daoist priest. May I ask what brings you to the Li residence?"

True Person Taiyi also bowed and said softly, "Greetings, General. I am True Person Taiyi from Golden Light Cave on Mount Qianyuan."

"I have come here today because I foresaw a fortuitous opportunity with you, General."

"Fortuitous opportunity?"

Upon hearing True Person Taiyi's words, Li Jing was startled, and his heart immediately jumped into his throat.

Having once ventured out into the world, he naturally knew what the immortal's fortuitous opportunity was, and even more so, he knew what the immortal would do for that fortuitous opportunity.

The fortuitous opportunity he's facing here... could it be that he's trying to steal some treasure from his mansion?

Only...

Looking at the True Person Taiyi before him, Li Jing felt a bitter taste in his mouth.

Although he was the commander-in-chief of Chentang Pass was neither a military stronghold nor a bustling commercial and transportation hub.

Their natural military strength was not particularly great.

And...

The True Person Taiyi before him was clearly no ordinary immortal; his cultivation was probably extremely profound.

"Fine, consider it a loss to avoid further trouble!"

Li Jing was thinking this when suddenly, something occurred to him, and a look of joy appeared on his face.

"Is the Daoist priest True Person Taiyi? True Person Taiyi of the Twelve High Immortals of the Chan Sect?"

Li Jing looked at True Person Taiyi with a mixture of surprise and delight.

"It is indeed I, General. Do you recognize me?" True Person Taiyi nodded slightly and asked.

"Daoist, you may not know this, but I have three sons. Besides the three who were just born, my eldest son, Jinzha, has become a disciple of the Chan Sect's immortal, Manjushri, the Wenshu Guangfa Tianzun."

"My second son, Muzha, has also become a disciple of the Chan Sect's True Person Puxian," Li Jing said with a face full of surprise.

"Wenshu and Puxian..."

True Person Taiyi was slightly taken aback, somewhat astonished.

Although he had known for some time that this family had some connection with his Chan Sect, this connection... was a bit too close!

And...

True Person Taiyi thought of his Wenshu brother Manjushri and the purpose of his Puxian brother Samantabhadra in taking on disciples, and silently sighed for this family.

This family is destined to be caught up in Immortal Slaughter Tribulation!

Unconsciously, even True Person Taiyi no longer wanted to seize this family's Innate Indestructible Spirit Light. After all... his Chan Sect couldn't just be dragging one family down with them.

Certainly.

This thought only existed in his mind for less than a moment before it was dismissed by True Person Taiyi.

That was Innate Indestructible Spirit Light, far more precious than that trace of pity.

Besides... at worst, he can just give this family some compensation.

However...

Before True Person Taiyi could do anything...

A petite figure suddenly darted out of the Li family mansion, jumped behind Li Jing, and hugged Li Jing leg.

"This is..."

When True Person Taiyi saw Nezha running out, he nearly tore off the beard he was stroking.

Nezha!?

Without even looking, Li Jing knew who was behind him. His expression immediately hardened, and he quickly whispered a warning.

"Giggle..."

However, Nezha just kept laughing, completely ignoring Li Jing's stern low shout.

Of course, having only been speaking for less than a day, although Nezha can now run and jump, he actually can't speak except for giggling.

At this moment, Li Jing disregarded his own child and, seeing True Person Taiyi staring blankly at Nezha, quickly bowed and apologized.

"My young son is ignorant; please forgive him, Daoist priest."

It's alright.

True Person Taiyi waved his hand, withdrawing his gaze from Nezha, but his eyes flashed with a thoughtful expression.

If he wasn't mistaken... the Nezha before him was probably the Innate Indestructible Spirit Light he had sensed earlier.

Only...

True Person Taiyi did not understand.

Why would this Innate Indestructible Spirit Light appear in a young child? I've never heard of such a thing before; this is not the Immortal Dao.

And...

What kind of qualification is this?!

Just by looking from afar, he could see a beam of light shooting up from the top of his head—it was incredible!

Oh!

Is that the Innate Indestructible Spirit Light?

That's alright!

True Person Taiyi gazed at Nezha, who was clinging to Li Jing's leg, a fiery glint in his eyes.

Certainly.

This fiery color was not directed at the Innate Indestructible Spirit Light, but rather at killing Nezha and taking away that Innate Indestructible Spirit Light.

True Person Taiyi was simply watching Nezha.

Although it is unknown why Nezha possesses Innate Indestructible Spirit Light, there is no doubt that Nezha's talent is extremely extraordinary.

I am afraid...

He was in no way inferior to his nephew Yang Jian.

"So, is this the will of Heaven, decreeing that I shall accept this disciple?" The fiery light in True Person Taiyi's eyes faded slightly.

He thought of this impending Immortal Slaughter Tribulation.

If he accepts Nezha as his disciple, then Nezha is destined to face this Immortal Slaughter Tribulation.

But...

If he doesn't accept it, do you think Nezha's family can escape unscathed?

True Person Taiyi thought of Li Jing's eldest son Jinzha and second son Muzha, who had respectively become disciples of his Wenshu brothers Manjushri and Puxian.

The Li Jing family was destined to face this Immortal Slaughter Tribulation.

If that's the case, then why not just accept Nezha as his own?

Thinking of this, True Person Taiyi no longer hesitated, looked at Li Jing in front of him, and said softly with a smile.

"General Li, I have found the fortuitous opportunity I have for this time!"

"The fortuitous opportunity... has been found?"

Li Jing was slightly taken aback. Although he wasn't particularly gifted, he was intelligent. Almost instantly, he thought of his youngest son, Nezha.

"What does the Daoist priest mean?"

Li Jing's expression changed slightly, and he couldn't help but become nervous.

As if sensing Li Jing's nervousness, True Person Taiyi chuckled and said, "I have a connection with your young son, Nezha. I wonder if Nezha would be willing to become my disciple?"

"This..."

Li Jing was slightly taken aback.

He was aware of the prestige of the Chan Sect and its Twelve High Immortals of the Chan Sect, and was naturally delighted that his son could become a disciple of the Chan Sect, but...

His son... was less than a day old, he's so tiny.

As if sensing Li Jing's hesitation, True Person Taiyi said softly, "General Li, please rest assured, we just need to establish a title first."

"As for formally becoming an apprentice, that will naturally have to wait until Nezha grows up a bit."

Upon hearing what True Person Taiyi said, Li Jing immediately stopped hesitating and said, "I am deeply grateful for your kindness, Master. I wish to become your disciple."

Below, Nezha, who was hugging Li Jing's leg and giggling, was unaware that he had already taken on a master the day before he was born.

Although he still didn't know what this master was.

"Now that I have become your disciple, there is something I cannot hide from you." After a moment's thought, Li Jing looked at the True Person Taiyi before him and said through gritted teeth.

"Master, you may not know this, but my son Nezha, though less than a day old, is already three years old."

Li Jing spoke in a low voice.

"Oh, three years old, less than a day old, could it be..." True Person Taiyi's eyes suddenly showed a look of realization, and he asked.

"General, how many years has Nezha been pregnant?"

Three years and six months!

Now that he had already spoken, Li Jing naturally wouldn't hesitate any longer and said it directly.

"Three years and six months?" True Person Taiyi paused slightly, then shook his head with a regretful expression. "Unfortunately, I discovered Nezha too late, otherwise..."

"With my Secret Method, supplemented by heavenly materials and earthly treasures, I might be able to delay Nezha's birth by a year or two."

"Daoist priest? You..."

Li Jing stared at True Person Taiyi in disbelief, somewhat puzzled by Taiyi's meaning.

"Oh, General Li, you may not know this, but this extra few years of pregnancy might not be a good thing for other races, but for Human Race, it's a good thing, not a bad thing."

"When infants and fetuses Chaos, they are both born and Innate. This is of great benefit to the Human Race. Children born in this state are exceptionally intelligent and possess outstanding talents."

"He is a rare talent!"

"It is said that the Saint Emperor Fuxi of the Human Race was born after his mother was pregnant for a full twelve years," said True Person Taiyi Fuxi.

"This..." Li Jing was slightly taken aback, not expecting there to be such a secret, and the slight worry in his heart immediately disappeared.

Looking at Nezha again, her eyes were filled with joy.

"Daoist Master, since you have accepted my young son as your disciple, why don't you come to my residence for a vegetarian meal?" Li Jing suppressed his joy and invited True Person Taiyi.

"No need for that. I have other matters to attend to and must depart immediately."

True Person Taiyi shook his head slightly, then looked at Nezha. After a moment's thought, True Person Taiyi took out two treasures.

Two treasures: a gold bracelet and a red silk ribbon.

The golden bracelet was actually the Universe Ring, High-Grade Innate Spirit Treasure, which transformed into a bracelet and was worn on Nezha's right hand.

The red ribbon was the Heaven-Chaos Sash, also High-Grade Innate Spirit Treasure, which transformed into a bellyband that Nezha wore.

"These two treasures are for my disciple's protection."

Facing Li Jing's gaze, True Person Taiyi casually offered an explanation.

He didn't reveal that these two treasures were High-Grade Innate Spirit Treasure; otherwise, Li Jing would probably have trouble sleeping every day from now on.

Only...

Watching Nezha curiously playing with the extra gold bracelet and Nezha he wore, True Person Taiyi sighed inwardly.

He clearly came here this time for the Innate Indestructible Spirit Light.

How come he ended up losing two High-Grade Innate Spirit Treasure? Even with his wealth, he doesn't have many of these kinds of treasures!

Despite his inner turmoil, True Person Taiyi felt no regret whatsoever.

Two High-Grade Innate Spirit Treasure, and an outstanding disciple—not to mention, these two Innate Spirit Treasure weren't given to anyone else, but to the disciple.

This kind of thing.

Any of his fellow disciples would probably have done so without hesitation.

With a smile on his face, True Person Taiyi turned around and flew directly towards Mount Kunlun.

He's still curious.

Why would the Innate Indestructible Spirit Light, which can only be used to refine Innate Spirit Treasure, appear in a young child like Nezha?

What benefits or drawbacks will this bring to Nezha?

Therefore, before teaching Nezha cultivation, he needed to go to the Jade Void Palace on Mount Kunlun to see his teacher, Celestial Venerable Yuanshi.
