Primordial Era: A man at the mouth of the Guanjiang River marries the Third Holy Mother.

Yuanshi Tianzun looked down at him and slowly said, "Taiyi, the spirit pearl from Nuwa's palace has been born into Li Jing's family in Chentang Pass. This child is your master and disciple, and is also destined to be the vanguard of Xiqi in the Investiture of the Gods."

"You shall descend the mountain immediately today and go to Chentang Pass to take him as your disciple, give him the name Nezha, and pass on to him the Nine Revolutions Mystic Skill, the Universe Ring, and the Hun Tian Ling."

Upon hearing this, Taiyi Zhenren not only did not step forward to receive the decree, but instead stiffened abruptly.

He looked up, his face full of difficulty and hesitation, and cold sweat instantly streamed down his forehead.

"Reporting back to Master... this... this task, I'm afraid I'm not up to the task."

Taiyi Zhenren's voice trembled as he swallowed.

The Primordial Celestial Venerable slightly raised his eyes, his tone turning cold: "Why?"

Master Taiyi wore a bitter expression and complained bitterly: "Master, you are unaware of this. Several years ago, I secretly went to Chentang Pass to investigate."

"The Li Jing family had long been won over by Chen Changsheng of the Jie Sect."

"The eldest son, Jinzha, became a disciple of Chen Changsheng, and the second son, Muzha, also benefited from his kindness."

"When I went there last time, my divine sense had just touched Madam Yin's fetal energy when I sensed the half-step Primordial Divine Sense Imprint left by Chen Changsheng."

The mere mention of Chen Changsheng's name made Taiyi Zhenren's eyelids twitch.

"Just how powerful is Chen Changsheng now?"

"On the day of the grand wedding, the six saints arrived together, and the Dao Ancestor personally issued a decree to bestow blessings, making the entire Penglai Immortal Island as solid as a rock."

"If I were to rush to Chen Tang Pass now and forcibly seize my disciple, and were to run into that killing god, I fear I would lose my head!"

What Master Taiyi said was extremely true.

He was merely a cultivator in the early stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, not even ranking among the top three of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect.

Who is Chen Changsheng?

He was an unparalleled ruthless man who dared to challenge even saints while wielding a god-slaying spear; with a single slap, even a Great Immortal would be reduced to ashes.

Sending him to pull teeth from a tiger's mouth is like sending him to his death.

Guang Chengzi, standing to the side, looked rather displeased upon hearing Taiyi Zhenren's words that boosted others' morale. He rebuked him, "Junior Brother Taiyi, stop talking nonsense! The Great Tribulation is ordained by Heaven. No matter how arrogant Chen Changsheng is, can he defy the will of Heaven?"

"Senior Brother Guangchengzi, it's easy for you to talk when you're not the one suffering from the pain. Why don't you go and take on this disciple yourself?" Taiyi Zhenren retorted sharply.

You only have one life; once you're on the Investiture of the Gods, your life is over.

Yuanshi Tianzun looked at the arguing disciples below and snorted coldly.

The temperature inside the hall plummeted instantly, and Guang Chengzi and Taiyi Zhenren were so frightened that they immediately shut their mouths and lay prostrate on the ground, too afraid to move.

"You good-for-nothing."

Yuanshi Tianzun coldly glanced at Taiyi Zhenren.

With a wave of his sleeve, the Primordial Celestial Venerable caused the auspicious clouds above the palace to churn.

A gray, chaotic aura that seemed to tear apart the heavens and earth suddenly manifested in the center of the hall.

A large banner, its entire body flowing with chaotic and mysterious light, slowly emerged from the void.

As the flag fluttered, a faint, supreme divine power, capable of creating heaven and earth and restoring the balance of earth, water, fire, and wind, seemed to surge forth.

The void inside the hall was compressed and crackled. Guang Chengzi and Taiyi Zhenren felt excruciating pain in their souls, and even breathing became extremely difficult.

The Pangu Banner, a supreme innate treasure!

One of the three great treasures of creation, it is in charge of creation and destruction. In terms of offensive power, it is second only to the Four Swords of Zhuxian among innate spiritual treasures and supreme treasures!

"Master...this...this is the Pangu Banner!"

Taiyi Zhenren suddenly raised his head, completely stunned, and almost drooled.

With a backhand push, the divine banner radiating endless chaotic energy slowly landed in front of Taiyi Zhenren.

"I will lend you this item for your self-defense."

The voice of the Primordial Celestial Venerable was grand and majestic, resounding throughout the sea of ​​consciousness: "The banner contains the magical power of three of my saints."

"Take this treasure to Chen Tang Pass, erase Chen Changsheng's divine imprint, and accept Nezha."

"If Chen Changsheng dares to obstruct us..."

The Celestial Venerable of Primordial Beginning's tone revealed a chilling killing intent: "Then you should directly unleash the Pangu Banner and suppress him on the spot!"

Taiyi Zhenren received the Pangu Banner with trembling hands.

Feeling the earth-shattering power surging within the banner, his blood was boiling.

With this supreme offensive treasure of the Heavenly Dao in hand, and with a sage backing him up, who is Taiyi Zhenren afraid of?

"Chen Changsheng, Chen Changsheng, so what if you've reached the half-step Hunyuan realm?"

"Before the supreme treasure of a sage, you are still but an ant!"

Taiyi Zhenren carefully put the Pangu Banner into his sleeve. The fear in his heart was swept away, replaced by an unprecedented sense of arrogance and pride.

He respectfully kowtowed three times: "Disciple obeys Master's decree! I will certainly not fail in my mission!"

After saying this, Taiyi Zhenren stood up, flicked his Taoist robe, stepped on auspicious clouds, and rushed out of Yuxu Palace with high spirits, heading straight for Chentang Pass.

Inside the General's Mansion at Chentang Pass.

Click!

With a crisp cracking sound, the huge blood-red fleshy ball on the ground finally split open from the very center.

A red light shot into the sky like a volcanic eruption, blasting a large hole in the roof.

The room was filled with a pure fragrance.

From the split pieces of flesh, a chubby, white baby jumped out.

The infant grew as soon as it was born, and in the blink of an eye it transformed into a three- or four-year-old child with a face as white as powder and eyes as bright as stars.

Even more miraculously, he had a gleaming gold ring around his neck and a seven-foot-long red silk ribbon wrapped around his abdomen.

These are the companion spiritual treasures, the Universe Ring and the Chaos Ribbon!

"Wow! Daddy! Big brother! Second brother!"

As soon as the child opened his eyes, he took off his chubby little legs and ran barefoot on the blue bricks, running all over the house.

Li Jing stood there, dumbfounded.

"This...it's already born?"

Li Jing stood there with his mouth agape, not quite understanding what was happening for a long time.

Although I knew it was extraordinary, the fact that it could run and jump from birth and even understand human speech was truly unbelievable.

Lady Yin, who was on the bed, was also awakened. Seeing the chubby baby running around on the floor, she cried with joy, "My child!"

Hearing the call, the child scrambled onto the bed, hugged Madam Yin's neck, and nuzzled her face affectionately, crying, "Mother! Mother!"

Li Jinzha and Li Muzha surrounded them, their faces full of joy.

"What a magnificent physique!" Li Jinzha exclaimed.

He could tell at a glance that his third brother's blood and qi were as vast as the sea, that he was born with divine power, and that his foundation was pure and flawless.

Li Jing stepped forward, about to reach out and hug his youngest son, when the sky above Chen Tang Pass suddenly changed color.

The originally clear sky was completely covered by the rich celestial energy in the blink of an eye.

The cry of cranes echoed from the sky, golden flowers rained down, and divine springs gushed from the earth.

Immediately afterwards, a loud and arrogant voice boomed across the entire Chentang Pass.

"I, the humble Taoist Taiyi Zhenren of Jinguang Cave on Qianyuan Mountain, have come to Chentang Pass to accept disciples by order of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable of Yuxu Palace!"

The voice contained the powerful magic of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, causing all the houses in the city to vibrate and countless mortals to kneel down in fear.
