Chapter 485: The Tribulation of Heaven and Earth
"Little Brother Nezha, how old are you this year? Seeing that you have such magic power at such a young age, I wonder who your master is?"
Yang Jian asked, finding it hard to imagine that Nezha could possess such strong magic power while appearing as a mere child.
Even the Golden Crow General could not gain the upper hand against him; if he could possess magic power like Nezha's, he would surely be able to rescue his mother and then take revenge on the Jade Emperor.
At this moment, Yang Jian's heart was filled with hatred for the Heavenly Court, wishing he could grind the Jade Emperor's bones to dust.
If not for the Jade Emperor, his family would not have fallen apart, and he would not have become a homeless orphan in an instant.
Nezha stroked the head of the Xiaotian Dog and said:
"Strictly speaking, I am a little over three years old this year; I will be four when the New Year comes."
"What, three years old!"
Little Yang Chan was extremely shocked upon hearing this.
To be this powerful at three years old—what if another ten years were to pass!!
"How amazing." Yang Jian exclaimed; no wonder his mother often said there are heavens beyond heavens and people beyond people.
Although Little Brother Nezha looked different from ordinary children and had a somewhat wicked air, this talent was truly monstrous.
"No need to be so amazed. Although I am only three, I am not of mortal flesh; I am the Demon Pill descended into the world. Do you know what the Demon Pill is? It is the evil path that plagues the common people."
Nezha said, not hiding his origins.
In truth, he also wanted to see the reactions of Yang Jian and Yang Chan.
Mainly because, since he was small, he had not had many true friends, and everyone treated him like a monster.
However, at his birthday banquet earlier, he had saved the entire Chentang Pass, which changed the way many commoners and children viewed him.
Upon hearing about the Demon Pill, Yang Jian and Yang Chan had no particular reaction.
Yang Jian even said: "Whether one is human, Immortal, or demon is not for that group of hypocritical Immortals in the sky to decide.
I see that Brother Nezha is righteous and awe-inspiring, willing to offend the Heavenly Court for the sake of us, whom he had never met before.
Just this point alone is countless times better than those Immortals."
"That's right, Second Brother is right. My father spent his whole life doing good deeds, treating the commoners for free, and helping the villagers.
In the end, he was still heartlessly killed by the Immortals of the Heavenly Court..." Yang Chan said, her eyes brimming with tears.
"Well said, it seems we are all people of true character." Nezha said excitedly.
Subsequently, Yang Jian and Yang Chan recounted their experiences once more, which made Nezha weep uncontrollably after hearing them; the Jade Emperor of the Heavenly Court truly did not act like a human, and he would go to the Heavenly Court to deal with him sooner or later.
"Sigh, I'm getting old, stones always seem to get into my eyes."
Nezha said, rubbing his eyes.
"Little Brother Nezha, I wonder if you know where Golden Glow Cave is?" Yang Jian asked.
"I don't know. Brother Yang, why are you going to Golden Glow Cave?" Nezha asked.
"Rumor has it that there is an enlightened Golden Immortal in Golden Glow Cave; I wish to go and apprentice myself to learn the arts," Yang Jian said.
After the Yang family was wiped out, they had been constantly fleeing.
In his dreams, there had always been a voice telling Yang Jian to go to Golden Glow Cave, where he could obtain the power to change his fate and rescue his mother.
"Although I don't know where Golden Glow Cave is, I know someone who does," Nezha said.
"Really!!" Yang Jian's expression was agitated.
Not long after, Nezha performed the Thousand-Mile Sound Transmission technique, and a white cloud drifted down from the sky; a chubby Taoist with baby fat, riding a pinkish-white pig, fell from the sky.
This was none other than Taiyi Zhenren, who had been staying near Chentang Pass to cultivate recently.
Not long ago, Taiyi Zhenren had successfully advanced into the ranks of the Twelve Golden Immortals.
"Nezha, you little brat, why are you using Thousand-Mile Sound Transmission? Don't you know that your master is very busy as one of the Twelve Golden Immortals?"
Taiyi Zhenren said haughtily, lifting his chin high; those mantis-like eyebrows were extremely festive.
Nezha showed a bit more respect for Taiyi Zhenren, but not much; he walked up and used his hands to rub his master's big belly, saying:
"Fat Master, I have two friends who want to know how to get to Golden Glow Cave. Do you have a way!"
Taiyi Zhenren shook off Nezha's hand and said sternly: "Brat, call me Master, just Master; why must you add the word 'fat'? This is called being slim, do you understand? Say it again, where do you want to go?"
Nezha chuckled, revealing an innocent smile, and said:
"Golden Glow Cave!"
To the side, the siblings Yang Jian and Yang Chan were dumbfounded.
This was Nezha's master? Such a big, fat Immortal—was he reliable?
Taiyi Zhenren, however, suddenly opened his eyes wide and said incredulously: "Golden Glow Cave? Brat, how do you know about this place? I don't recall ever telling you about it!"
"It's them, my two good friends who want to go." Nezha pointed at Yang Jian and Yang Chan.
At this moment, Taiyi Zhenren finally noticed Yang Jian and Yang Chan, who were besides Nezha, and subconsciously said:
"Two mor... no, this is incredible, half-Immortal bloodlines?"
"I am Yang Jian, and this is my sister Yang Chan. Greetings, Immortal Elder," Yang Jian said politely.
"Yang Jian, Yang Chan? Why do these names sound so familiar? You wouldn't happen to be the children of Yaoji, who was recently suppressed under Peach Mountain by the Jade Emperor, would you?" Taiyi Zhenren said.
"Fat Master, you know about this?" Nezha asked.
Upon hearing this, Taiyi Zhenren revealed a haughty look again and said:
"Don't you know who your master is? I am known as the invincible know-it-all of heaven and earth; there is nothing your master does not know."
"Furthermore, Fairy Yaoji is the greatest beauty in the Heavenly Court. Your master has also admired her for a long time, but alas, the falling flowers have intent, while the flowing water has no heart, sigh..."
Taiyi Zhenren revealed a sorrowful look, as if he were a heartbroken man.
"Hahaha, you're killing me. Fat Master, with all that slim fat on your body, which blind fairy would like you?" Nezha said with a sharp tongue.
"..."
This made Taiyi Zhenren so angry that he was fuming.
Yang Jian asked at this moment: "Immortal Elder, do you know of Golden Glow Cave?"
Taiyi Zhenren composed his emotions and said:
"Poor child, of course I know where Golden Glow Cave is.
That True Person Yuding of Golden Glow Cave is one of the Twelve Golden Immortals, and I am also ranked among the Twelve Golden Immortals; according to our seniority, we are fellow disciples."
"Such a coincidence?" Nezha said.
"It is not such a coincidence. No wonder Master has not let me return to Kunlun Mountain recently; it turns out he is plotting some secret again, and it likely concerns Yang Jian.
However, child, this poor Daoist tells you, even if you learn the magic of Golden Glow Cave, you still cannot defeat the Jade Emperor, nor can you rescue Yaoji," Taiyi Zhenren said.
"Why?"
Yang Jian asked, his emotions stirred, a look of disbelief on his face.
"What kind of existence is the Jade Emperor? Do you, a little child, really think that after learning magic for a few years you can compare to him? Sigh," Taiyi Zhenren said.
"This is a tribulation, a dead knot! Born within this heaven and earth, you cannot untie it."
"Go to Golden Glow Cave; you will at most gain the power to protect yourself, but the final outcome will not change."
Do not look at Taiyi Zhenren as flighty and unreliable in his affairs; he is actually very clear-headed!
"No, Fatty Master, what exactly is it for? Can't you just explain it more clearly?" Nezha was left dizzy and confused.
