With his powerful cultivation, he only needed to circulate his energy for half a cycle to dissipate the power of creation on the Heaven-Opening Seal.
"May the Heavenly Venerable grant you boundless blessings! Fellow Daoist, why did you attack me?"
Looking at Ao Yifan, who had withdrawn the Heaven-Opening Seal, Manjushri Bodhisattva spoke calmly.
"As expected, the Twelve Golden Immortals are not easy to deal with. I'm afraid this guy didn't even use his full strength just now. I wonder if this Manjushri Bodhisattva is a Taiyi Golden Immortal or an even more powerful Daluo Golden Immortal?"
Ao Yifan thought to himself.
"Hehe, this immortal of the Chan Sect, you want to take this child as your disciple, don't you even plan to ask his father's opinion?"
Ao Yifan said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Manjushri, the Heavenly Venerable of Vast Dharma, couldn't help but frown.
He never imagined that his destined disciple would have a father with such high cultivation.
"Brother-in-law, don't waste words with this guy. I'll use the nation's fortune to suppress him, and you can just use your magic weapon to smash him to death!"
Just then, Di Xin roared angrily.
The next moment, a national destiny transformed into a black bird and swept towards Manjushri, the Heavenly Venerable of Vast Dharma.
At this moment, Manjushri Bodhisattva could no longer maintain his composure.
His expression changed, because he realized that his magical power had been completely suppressed by the national destiny bird surrounding him.
"Your Majesty, do you really intend to become an enemy of my Jade Void Palace? Don't forget who my master is!"
Manjushri, the Heavenly Venerable of Extensive Dharma, said.
Upon hearing this, Di Xin's expression also changed.
The power of a sage is so great that even the human emperor himself could not subdue him.
At the same time, Bi Gan and other court officials also advised, "Your Majesty, calm down! You must not offend the Sage!"
Faced with the advice of his court officials, Emperor Xin's expression changed several times.
In his heart, Di Xin naturally did not want to offend the sage, after all, he had not yet lost his mind.
However, things have already turned out this way. Should we let the other party off so easily? If so, what about the face of the Emperor?
"Your Majesty, why not listen to what I, the father of the person involved, have to say?"
Just then, Ao Yifan spoke again.
With a shift in his gaze, Di Xin looked at Ao Yifan and said, "You speak!"
"cough cough"
Clearing his throat, Ao Yifan said, "This matter was not a big deal. This Manjushri Bodhisattva just felt that he had a connection with my son and wanted to take him as a disciple."
"Hmph, my little Jinzha can learn all his skills by staying by my side. Why does he need to learn from someone else?"
Di Xin snorted coldly.
From Di Xin's words, it is clear that he liked the little Jinzha and wanted to teach him personally.
Moreover, Di Xin was confident in this.
After all, he was the Human Emperor. With a single command, countless immortals across the land would want to serve the Yin Shang Dynasty. But teaching Little Jinzha his skills would be a piece of cake.
"No, no. The three religions are now the orthodox schools. The Human Religion has few disciples and has no intention of recruiting more. As for the Intercepting Religion, they are all creatures born from eggs and covered in fur and horns!"
Although Manjushri Bodhisattva's magical powers were imprisoned, he still retained the demeanor of a Chan Sect immortal.
"Only my Chan Sect is the true path to immortality in the world. Only by following me can this child cultivate that supreme divine power!"
Upon hearing Manjushri's words, Emperor Xin's expression shifted between anger and uncertainty.
Although he didn't want to admit it, Di Xin knew that the orthodox path to immortality in the world was indeed in the Jade Void Palace.
However, Ao Yifan on the other side sneered inwardly.
"Supreme divine power, this guy talks a good game, but isn't he just looking for someone to shield him from calamity?"
Ao Yifan naturally understood the true purpose of Manjushri, the Heavenly Venerable of Vast Dharma.
The great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods is approaching, and the immortals of the three religions are all entangled in the aura of calamity.
Unlike the Jie Sect, which directly confronted the calamity, the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect, except for a certain straightforward but unfavored dragon, all thought of taking on disciples to ward off the calamity.
In the original historical trajectory, Jinzha did indeed learn a great deal of skill from Manjushri, the Heavenly Venerable of Vast Dharma.
But to be honest, a tool is just a tool. His cultivation is so-so. In the end, he can only reach the level of a Golden Immortal at most, which is far inferior to Nezha in the later stages.
However, Ao Yifan still planned to have Jinzha become the other party's disciple.
Why?
It's because Manjushri, the Heavenly Venerable of Vast Dharma, has the organization of the Twelve Golden Immortals!
The Twelve Golden Immortals held an extremely revered position within the entire Chan Sect.
The Chan Sect boasts 100,000 immortals, but the most outstanding among them are these Twelve Golden Immortals.
With Yuanshi Tianzun in seclusion, the Twelve Golden Immortals can be considered the true leaders of the entire Chan Sect!
Ao Yifan had his eye on the list of the Twelve Golden Immortals held by Manjushri Bodhisattva.
He knew very well that after the Great Calamity of the Investiture of the Gods, Manjushri Guangfa Tianzun defected to the Western Paradise and became Manjushri Bodhisattva.
If Jinzha hadn't been tricked into going with them, it's obvious who would have ended up with the Twelve Golden Immortals.
The Chan Sect was incredibly powerful, which naturally made Ao Yifan very envious.
However, his background destined him to be unable to take charge of the Chan Sect, at least not until he could defeat Yuanshi Tianzun.
Perhaps even if one could defeat Yuanshi Tianzun, it would still be difficult to take over the Chan Sect, after all, above the Three Pure Ones, there is a Heavenly Sage.
Therefore, Ao Yifan decided to switch the dragon with the phoenix.
Since I can't take over the Chan Sect in a short time, I'll have my people occupy the positions of the Twelve Golden Immortals first.
If half of the Twelve Golden Immortals are my people, then I will be the one in charge of the Chan Sect.
"However, it will be a long and arduous journey to occupy a place among the Twelve Golden Immortals. We still need to work hard!"
Ao Yifan thought to himself.
Chapter 37 Jinzha Becomes a Disciple
2025-03-05 10:03:19 Author: The Blind Man Without an Umbrella
He secretly plotted how he could become the leader of the Twelve Golden Immortals by having children.
On the surface, Ao Yifan remained calm and said, "As a father, I naturally hope that my child will have a better future. In fact, joining the Jade Void Palace is not a bad thing."
Feeling Madam Yin's small hand tighten slightly around his arm, Ao Yifan knew that his wife couldn't bear to part with little Jinzha.
Gently patting his wife's hand to comfort her, Ao Yifan continued, "However, the child is still young, so there's no rush for him to go up the mountain to cultivate. Of course, it's possible for him to take on a master first. Your Majesty, Heavenly Venerable, what do you think?"
"feasible!"
Manjushri was the first to agree. He only needed a disciple to shield him from calamity. As for how much skill Jinzha could ultimately learn, he didn't care much.
On the other side, Di Xin couldn't help but frown.
At this moment, Queen Jiang advised from the side, "Your Majesty, it's not a bad thing to let Jinzha join the Jade Void Palace. At least, with this relationship, it will be more convenient for Jinzha to make contributions for our Great Shang!"
Queen Jiang said this naturally at the behest of Ao Yifan.
Having worked together for so long, the two were already of one mind. With just a glance, Queen Jiang knew what knowledge to use and naturally understood Ao Yifan's thoughts.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Xin was persuaded.
After all, we live in an era where humans and immortals coexist, and often, wars in the mortal realm require the help of immortals.
At this point, identity becomes very important.
If Jinzha were to be known as one of the Twelve Golden Immortals' disciples, who wouldn't give him some face when he travels around?
"That's fine then!"
With a wave of his hand, Emperor Xin put away the national fortune bird, and Manjushri Bodhisattva also felt that his magical power had been restored.
At this moment, Manjushri, the Heavenly Venerable of Vast Dharma, also felt a lingering fear.
Previously, he had only heard that one should not provoke the Emperor without authorization.
However, only now, facing the Human Emperor directly, do they realize how terrifying he truly is.
After all, what difference is there between an immortal and a mortal if one's magical power is imprisoned?
Fortunately, he had a sage above him to protect him; otherwise, given Di Xin's temper, Huang Feihu would have already beheaded him.
See, that's the importance of having connections at higher levels!
This is the real reason why Ao Yifan wanted to become the leader of the Twelve Golden Immortals.
"Come here, son, hurry up and pay your respects to your master. Didn't you just tell your father that you liked your master's golden pillar? After you become his disciple, your master will give you that golden pillar as a gift!"
Ao Yifan called out to Xiao Jinzha.
Upon hearing this, Jinzha blinked. When did he ever say he liked that golden pillar?
However, although Jinzha was young, he was very clever and immediately bowed to Manjushri, the Heavenly Venerable of the Vast Dharma.
"Disciple Ao Jinzha greets Master!"
After paying homage to his master, Little Jinzha didn't get up. He just stared at Manjushri, the Heavenly Venerable of Vast Dharma, with his adorable big eyes.
To be honest, even Manjushri Bodhisattva has never seen such a scene.
After all, where would someone who has just become an apprentice ask for their most treasured secret weapon?
"However, never mind. All my magical treasures have backdoors, so it's alright to leave them with my disciple for now."
Thinking to himself, Manjushri Bodhisattva chuckled and took out the Dragon-Hiding Pillar, saying, "Disciple, this treasure is called the Dragon-Hiding Pillar. Capturing dragons and immortals is naturally a piece of cake. You should keep it safe."
"Thank you Master!"
Little Jinzha chuckled as he picked up the Dragon-Binding Pillar, which was taller than him, looking as if he didn't want to let go.
Seeing this, Manjushri Bodhisattva was secretly shocked: "My disciple is just a mortal, yet he possesses such strength. It seems his talent is extraordinary. It's just a pity that the Investiture of the Gods is approaching, what a pity..."
