Chapter 316: When I Attained the Tao, Yuanshi Had Not Yet Become a Saint!

Chentang Pass, Li Family.

With the group members gathered together, no one was happier than Nezha; it was the first time so many friends had celebrated his birthday with him.

This way, even if he were struck dead by the Heavenly Tribulation Curse in three days, he would have no regrets.

Although the Li Family couple did not know the group, anyone who was good to Nezha was their best friend.

Unlike other versions of Nezha, the Li Jing of this version was very fond of Nezha, and was even willing to die for him.

"Holy Monk, I wonder in which cave abode you cultivate."

Taiyi Zhenren sidled over, wanting to build a rapport with Xuanzang; anyone who could casually produce a five-thousand-year-old Flat Peach must be a Great Ability.

Moreover, Xuanzang's cultivation was unfathomable; he could not sense its depth at all.

Not to mention that he himself was only a prospective member of the Twelve Golden Immortals.

The Golden Immortal Realm in this world was not achieved through cultivation, but through assessment and selection.

Currently, Kunlun Mountain already had eleven Golden Immortal candidates, and the final spot had fallen to Taiyi Zhenren.

Back then, when the Hunyuan Pearl, which gathered the baleful energy of heaven and earth, was born, Yuanshi Tianzun used the Qiankun Cauldron to refine the Hunyuan Pearl, splitting it into the Spirit Pearl and the Demon Pill.

Li Jing was the person of the Heavenly Mandate, and Yuanshi Tianzun sent Taiyi Zhenren to take the Spirit Pearl to be reincarnated into the Li Family, assisting him in completing the future great cause of the Investiture of the Gods.

Unfortunately, due to a twist of fate, the Demon Pill was reincarnated as Nezha, and the Spirit Pearl became the Dragon Prince.

This shattered Taiyi Zhenren's dream of becoming a Golden Immortal!

However, in order to help Nezha control the power of the Demon Pill, Taiyi Zhenren had stayed in the mortal world for these three years to teach Nezha, which could be considered making up for his debt.

Looking at the festive Taiyi Zhenren, Xuanzang said:

"Taiyi, when I attained the Tao, your master Yuanshi Tianzun had not yet become a Saint."

"What? How is that possible!" Taiyi Zhenren's face revealed a look of shock.

His master Yuanshi Tianzun was a Saint, the strongest existence on Kunlun Mountain.

This person had attained the Tao before his master had even become a Saint.

What level of ancient Great Ability was this?

"Fellow Daoist, don't joke, don't joke," Taiyi Zhenren said tremblingly.

"Think what you will, little fatty," Xuanzang laughed.

"Little fatty??"

Taiyi Zhenren was bewildered and immediately retorted:

"Holy Monk, this isn't fat, okay? This is called baby fat!"

"Look at this flesh of mine, how tender, how bouncy."

Taiyi Zhenren stuck out his big belly and even patted it specifically.

On the other side.

Xiao Shi, Nezha, and Tushan Yaya, the three children, were playing shuttlecock.

It must be said that playing shuttlecock with Nezha was a high-risk activity.

Ordinary people really couldn't play it.

With that kick from Nezha, the shuttlecock was like a cannonball, unstoppable and with immense destructive power.

Fortunately, Xiao Shi and Tushan Yaya were not ordinary people; they could catch it, and they went back and forth.

Later, Feng Baobao and Ye Fan also joined in.

"Hehehe!"

At this moment, under the sunset, Nezha's face was full of excitement and agitation, filled with childlike innocence.

If only time could freeze, how wonderful that would be!

Anlan walked over, looked at Xuanzang and Taiyi Zhenren, and couldn't help but say:

"Xuan Ge, I wonder if it's possible to see the Saint of this world."

If it were the Saint of Xuanzang's world, Anlan certainly wouldn't dare to see them, fearing he would be beaten to death.

But he wanted to see the Saint of the Nezha World.

"Why, Fellow Daoist, you still want to see a Saint?" Taiyi Zhenren said.

"This seat just wants to know how powerful a Saint is, that's all," Anlan said.

"Little friend, this thought of yours is very dangerous; how can we speculate about a Saint?" Taiyi Zhenren said.

"Why can't we speculate? Just say it, the Heavenly Tribulation Curse on Nezha could be solved with a single thought, yet so many things were stirred up."

Wang Wu walked over, looking aggressive.

Seeing Wang Wu, Taiyi Zhenren couldn't help but shrink his head and said: "Everything has its karmic cause; we cannot understand the thoughts of a Saint."

"And this matter cannot be blamed on my master; it was because I was careless in my actions back then and was plotted against by Shen Gongbao that led to everything today."

Wang Wu curled her lips and complained: "In my opinion, this Saint just can't stand to see people living too well and insists on stirring up trouble to temper them."

"After all, jade must be carved to become a vessel," Taiyi Zhenren laughed.

"I don't believe your nonsense," Wang Wu said.

"However, the Holy Monk's cultivation is unfathomable; if you wait until the Heavenly Tribulation Curse descends, you might be able to take action and perhaps save Nezha," Taiyi Zhenren said.

"I think it's better to let Yuanshi Tianzun solve the Heavenly Tribulation Curse himself," Xuanzang said.

"Hehehe, that would be difficult."

Taiyi Zhenren knew his master; although he had boundless magic power and was transcendent and holy, he cared too much about his reputation.

Furthermore, even if a Saint did something wrong, they would not admit it.

According to the mindset of a Saint, all living beings below the Saint are just dust.

"Holy Monk, fellow Daoists, Li has already prepared the banquet."

At this moment, Li Jing walked over and said with a respectful expression.

"Thank you for your trouble," Xuanzang said.

Meanwhile, deep in the East Sea, at the place where the Ancient Dragon Clan was sealed, the unfathomable seabed was like a series of active volcanoes, where Ancient Dragon gods were bound by chains, unable to break free.

Their auras were powerful and filled with baleful energy; they bared their fangs and brandished their claws, venting the rage in their hearts.

A black-robed man with a leopard's head arrived here, bringing with him a handsome youth with two horns growing from his head.

It was none other than Shen Gongbao and the Dragon Prince Ao Bing!

Ao Bing was the reincarnation of the Spirit Pearl, and his innate talent was not inferior to Nezha's.

"Dragon King, three days from now is the day the Heavenly Tribulation Curse descends upon the Demon Pill, and it is also the opportunity for Ao Bing to participate in the Conferred God list and restore the reputation of the Dragon Clan," Shen Gongbao said slowly.

"Is the Conferred God list about to begin? The Dragon Clan has spent too long in these dark, sunless days."

The leading old Dragon said slowly; its body was massive, reaching a thousand zhang in length, coiled upon the seabed, and it bore the most chains, which were even pierced into its Reverse Scale, dragon head, and other vital points.

"Father, I will definitely save you all."

Ao Bing revealed a serious expression, his eyes firm.

"My child, hearing your words brings me great comfort."

The Dragon King spoke in human language, and a Reverse Scale flew out from beneath its belly; not only that, but thousands of Dragons under the sea also contributed their own Reverse Scales!

These Reverse Scales assembled together, transforming into a set of shimmering golden inner armor.

"This is the Ten Thousand Dragon Armor, formed from the transformation of our Reverse Scales; it is indestructible. My child, keep it to protect yourself."

The Dragon King said, its aura somewhat weakened after losing its Reverse Scale.

"Father, I will certainly not let you down," Ao Bing said.

"Hahaha, I believe it won't be long before the Dragon Clan reappears in the world," Shen Gongbao said.

"That will be the moment the Dragon Clan unifies the Three Realms!"

Outside the East Sea, the master and disciple, Ao Bing and Shen Gongbao, stood together.

"Ao Bing, you are the reincarnation of the Spirit Pearl, and your Heavenly Mandate is extraordinary; you are destined to accomplish great things.

It is a pity, however, that you were born a demon, destined to be met with cold stares and treated differently by others," Shen Gongbao said earnestly.

"I do not care about such things, Master," Ao Bing said calmly.

"No, you do care, and you must care. You are still young and do not yet understand the malice of human nature."

"You must establish a lofty image among those people and appear as a savior," Shen Gongbao said.

As someone who had been through it all, Shen Gongbao had a very profound understanding of this.

Just because he was a demon, no matter how hard he tried, he could not compare to Taiyi, nor did he have the qualifications to become a Golden Immortal.

Whether in talent or magic, he was superior to Taiyi, yet because of some supposed flaw in his character, he had no chance at all.

"Master, what should I do?" Ao Bing asked.

"Flood Chentang Pass!"

A sinister smile appeared on Shen Gongbao's face.
