Honghuang: Creation of the Green Lotus, the beginning of the Three Pure Ones

Chapter 369 Nezha's Blessing in Disguise

The blood that Ju Liusun spat out turned into specks of golden light in mid-air. He was shocked to find that his "Pointing to the Earth to Turn it into Steel" technique had been broken.

Suddenly, a crack appeared in the ground, and Zhang Kui, wearing a golden crown, emerged from the water like a dragon, brandishing his crescent blade and heading straight for the altar.

Ju Liusun forcefully suppressed his injuries, hastily forming a magic seal, and the Immortal Binding Rope transformed into golden light and shot out.

But then, Zhang Kui's golden crown burst forth with boundless radiance, and the Immortal Binding Rope froze in mid-air.

Taking advantage of this brief moment, Zhang Kui had already severed the seven red threads wrapped around black hair on the altar with his blade.

The entire altar suddenly exploded, and two beams of blood shot out from the scarecrow's eyes.

As Zhang Kui dodged to the side, he suddenly felt his feet sink – the ground had turned into quicksand, and Ju Liusun's innate Wu Earth method had been activated.

"You can break the 'Pointing to the Earth to Turn it into Steel' formation, so what about this 'Quicksand Trapping Immortal Formation'?"

Ju Liusun sneered and formed a hand seal, but Zhang Kui suddenly pressed the Golden Cloud Crown into the quicksand. The phantom of the Fire Pearl on the crown appeared, and the quicksand instantly solidified like an iron plate.

Then Zhang Kui grabbed Nezha's scarecrow and used his earth-walking technique to disappear from Xiqi City.

At the same time, a deafening roar suddenly came from the southeast corner of Xiqi City.

Bixiao rode a peacock and stood in mid-air, slashing out with her immortal sword. Ao Bing revealed his hundred-zhang-long dragon body and spewed dragon breath, turning the Zhou army who were on their way to put out the fire at Sanji Warehouse into ice sculptures.

Guang Chengzi, who was chasing Yang Jian, finally realized what was happening and immediately shouted, "Oh no, we've fallen into a trap!"

He was about to abandon Yang Jian and fight Bixiao, but was stopped by the suddenly appearing Jade Cauldron Immortal.

At the same time, Taiyi Zhenren also appeared in mid-air. The Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover was heading towards Manjushri Guangfa Tianzun.

Bixiao and Ao Bing also took this opportunity to leave Xiqi City and return to the Shang army camp.

Having completed their tasks, Taiyi Zhenren and Yuding Zhenren did not linger in battle. They then transformed into three streaks of light and disappeared above Xiqi City, together with Yang Jian.

Guang Chengzi knew that pursuing the matter further was futile at this point. He immediately led his followers from both sects back to Sanji Granary to put out the fire.

At this time, Jiang Ziya was found unconscious, having suffered the backlash from the broken Seven Arrows Nailhead Technique.

If it weren't for Guang Chengzi and their timely arrival, the fire in the Sanji Granary would have engulfed Jiang Ziya's body once again.

This fire was no ordinary fire; it was the Nanming Li Fire of the Nanming Volcano. It was enough to burn Jiang Ziya's body to ashes in an instant.

Guang Chengzi dared not delay and hurriedly retrieved Jiang Ziya's physical body. Then he took out the Three Lights Divine Water and directly extinguished the Southern Bright Fire.

Even so, the vast Sanji Granary had been burned beyond recognition. All the grain had been burned to ashes.

……

On Qinglian Island, Nezha suddenly opened his eyes within the Three Lights Divine Water Altar. Three streams of black energy also flew out from Nezha's body and dissipated in an instant.

Seeing that Nezha was unharmed, Tongtian nodded in satisfaction and said, "Taiyi did not disgrace our Daoist sect."

At this moment, Tongtian already knew that Taiyi Zhenren and the others had successfully broken the Seven Arrows of Nailhead Technique. Therefore, Tongtian was naturally happy.

At the same time, Tongtian beckoned to Nezha and pulled him in front of him. Then he said to him, "The Seven Arrows of Nailhead have been unsealed. You can return to Xiqi now. However, before you leave, your grandmaster has a great gift to give you."

As he spoke, Tongtian pointed directly at Nezha. Nezha felt an itch on his shoulder, and then two more heads grew out.

Then, another pair of arms grew from his chest, and two more pairs grew from his back. Including the original pair of arms, he now had a total of eight arms.

At this moment, Nezha already possessed the divine form of three heads and eight arms. This inevitably filled Nezha with joy, and he immediately knelt down to thank Tongtian.

Tongtian smiled and said, "Now that you have three heads and eight arms, go back and ask your master for some magic treasures, so you won't be empty-handed."

This time, instead of smiling, Nezha said with a worried expression, "Grandmaster, Master doesn't have any decent treasures either. He has to keep the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover for himself."

"As a disciple, how could Nezha dare to make things difficult for his master? Otherwise, wouldn't he become a rebellious and disobedient disciple?"

"Although Nezha's weapons cannot keep all eight of his hands busy, they are definitely enough for use on the battlefield. So we won't trouble Master with this matter."

Upon hearing this, Tongtian shook his head and sighed, "You little brat, you actually tried to outsmart your grandmaster. Fine, then let your grandmaster give you a few items."

As he spoke, Tongtian waved his hand, and several magical treasures flew to Nezha's front.

Nezha originally possessed the innate spiritual treasures Hun Tian Ling and Qian Kun Quan, as well as the Fire-Tipped Spear. These were just enough to support his four arms.

Therefore, Nezha did not collect all the innate spiritual treasures, but only selected four from them: the Five Dragon Seal, the Twin Swords of Blazing Fire, and the Soul Refining Diagram of Karmic Fire.

As for the remaining few innate spiritual treasures, Nezha returned them to Tongtian, and then spoke with a smile.

"Grandmaster, this is enough for Nezha. Keep the rest with you for now, and we'll ask you for it again when Nezha has taken on his own disciples."

Tongtian was initially pleased to see that Nezha didn't covet the magic weapon. However, Nezha's next words left Tongtian speechless.

He couldn't help but think to himself, "This Nezha is indeed a little devil among the third-generation disciples of the Taoist sect. He's really troublesome."

Left with no other choice, he could only nod and then urged Nezha to hurry back to the Xiqi camp. He didn't want him to stay on Qinglian Island for even a minute longer.

Nezha had already gained a significant advantage and naturally had no desire to stay any longer. He couldn't wait to return to Xiqi, capture the disciples of the Chan and Jie sects, and test his new magic weapon.

At this moment, Nezha discovered that his three heads seemed to have their own thoughts and wanted to go in three different directions.

This inevitably caused Nezha to look bitter, and he looked longingly at Tongtian. This also made Tongtian feel somewhat helpless for a moment, after all, he really hadn't thought of this.

Fortunately, Lao Tzu and Yuanshi Tianzun arrived at this time. They knew everything with just one glance.

This left Yuanshi Tianzun with a helpless expression, and he glared fiercely at Tongtian. Then he pointed at Nezha's three heads.

The next moment, the two heads on the left and right lost all their luster in their eyes, becoming as lifeless as two decorations.

"Wanting Nezha to have three heads and eight arms is not a bad idea. But you shouldn't have given his newly grown head any thought."

"After all, those two heads can only serve as Nezha's eyes and ears. They cannot compete with him for control of the body, otherwise this body would be torn to pieces."

As he spoke, Yuanshi Tianzun pointed directly at the eyes of the two heads. A golden light and a mysterious light flew into the eyes of the two heads respectively.
