Claiming the Throne of Gods, Starting from the Rebirth of Nezha

The picked-up by the collar Nezha was quite helpless.

Although only seven years old, this body was somewhat overly sturdy, even Nezha himself often got surprised by his own strength. But it wouldn't be to the point where he would beat Li Jing just because he didn't want to see Taiyi, after all, their conflict hadn't reached that level.

Li Jing released his hold, and Nezha fell to the floor, not crying out in pain. He patted his buttock and slowly got up again.

Nezha looked up at Taiyi Zhenren, observed him from left to right, and had to admit that this old man indeed had a few immortal characteristics.

He asked, "Are you the Daoist that Sister Lv Ping mentioned who wants to see me?"

"Nezha! Do not be rude!" Li Jing reproached, but Taiyi Zhenren raised his hand to stop him.

Taiyi Zhenren looked at Nezha, unable to suppress a smile on his face.

"No wonder, no wonder, this innate body sanctifies, every inch of it is a Dao bone, every inch is a spiritual root, no wonder he will later be asked to cut flesh, shave bones, gouge out intestines and heart. Although the Spiritual Pearl's Divine Enthronement is essential, given the patriarch's habit of collecting spiritual objects, he probably wants to put him into a small glazed box and place him in the Treasure Cave."

With such guesses, Taiyi Zhenren grew even more cautious and said with a smile, "Indeed it is I, I am Taiyi Zhenren from Qianyuan Mountain Golden Light Cave. Are you Nezha?"

"I am Nezha. What do you want with me?"

"I want to take you as my disciple."

"No, I want to stay at home with my mother."

"Worship me as your master, and you can still stay at home with your mother." Taiyi Zhenren was always calm and leisurely.

Nezha, however, felt that Taiyi Zhenren had a somewhat sinister smile. He asked, "If that's the case, why do you want to take me as a disciple?"

"There is a destined master-disciple fate between you and me, this is destiny, so ordained by the Heavenly Dao, neither of us can escape it."

The words were elusive, Nezha shivered, feeling waves of chill rising in his heart. The Heavenly Dao, what is the Heavenly Dao.

Seeing this, Taiyi Zhenren continued, "There are benefits to having me as your master; in future troubles, mention my name, and the sect will support you. Since your worldly affairs aren't finished, if you wish to stay home with your parents now, stay at home. When you desire to come to the Golden Light Cave, I will naturally come to fetch you."

Not to mention Nezha, even Li Jing and numerous guests recognized Taiyi Zhenren's determination to take him as a disciple, their eyes filled with envy.

Li Jing hadn't expected that although he failed to find the Dao in his early years, his three sons had significant Dao affinity.

Having studied the Dao himself, Li Jing knew better than others the importance of such a connection, so he patted Nezha's back and urged, "The Daoist favors you, that is your blessing, hurry and kneel to acknowledge your master."

There are no free lunches in the world; Nezha thought Taiyi Zhenren's lowering himself like this was all for the Divine Enthronement grand plan, so he didn't dwell on it deeper.

The tyranny of Yin Zhou is known all over the world, in the future, being divinely enthroned and achieving immortality is also a good thing.

"As long as my relationship with the Dragon Palace is good, and I avoid an end of cutting flesh and shaving bones, learning some skills from Taiyi Zhenren wouldn't be bad."

Thinking this, Nezha gladly knelt: "Master above, please accept my bow."

Nezha became a disciple at Qianyuan Mountain Golden Light Cave, and a member of the Chan Sect, at this moment the guests and hosts were joyous and happy.

Everyone raised their glasses and exchanged toasts, Nezha, feeling bored, retreated alone to the backyard, and when the banquet dispersed, Li Jing pulled Taiyi Zhenren aside.

Seeing no one around, Li Jing asked, "Daoist, may you not hurry away, this mediocre student has a question to ask."

"Is it about the East Sea sacrifice?"

"Precisely, Ao Guang, the Daoist friend sent a letter months ago requesting the sacrifice be changed from once every three months to once every half month. I fear this rashness will upset the natural Heavenly Dao balance, and I haven't replied. Upon returning to Chentang Pass yesterday, the East Sea sent another letter urging, I cannot evade it, hence I seek to consult Immortal."

For Taiyi Zhenren, what Li Jing asked was a trivial matter, he said, "A few ignorant mortals, to the natural Heavenly Dao, are no different than a drop in the vast sea, struggling still within it."

"This disciple is dull, and this matter?"

"For the Divine Enthronement, the Dragon Palace has suffered, so they are displeased. All they want is face, do you understand?"

"I see, Li Jing understands, thank you, Immortal."

The banquet dispersed, but Taiyi Zhenren didn't go far, until the third watch at night, when everyone in Li Mansion had rested, he used Earth Style to ascend mid-air.

Seeing Nezha by the small pond in the backyard watching fish, he suddenly landed before him.

Nezha was startled and nearly fell into the pond, turned to see Taiyi Zhenren, and restrained his temper to ask: "Master, why sudden appearance here."

He asked this, but in his heart, he wasn't surprised; he stayed awake at the third watch, betting that Taiyi Zhenren would come to find him.

Taiyi Zhenren slightly smiled: "Why are you not sleeping?"

"Slept in the daytime."

"Lies. Are you curious why I must take you as a disciple?"

Nezha's eyes rolled, then nodded.

Taiyi Zhenren said with a smile: "It's not that I must take you as a disciple, but that you are originally my disciple. You are the reincarnation of the Spirit Pearl, sent here under the mandate of Yuxu Palace, to protect the Wise King. The Qiankun Ring and Chaos Sky Silk in your hand are treasures bestowed by the sect."

These words matched what Nezha knew from past life books, yet he clearly knew he wasn't some Spirit Pearl in a past life, merely a stubborn child grown up in an ordinary orphanage.

Nezha feigned enlightenment and said: "I see, then Master, what should I do next?"

Taiyi Zhenren said: "In the future, you need to be a vanguard for the Zhou clan, break the Chengtang world. Now, if you want to fulfill filial duties at home, why not practice archery and horse riding to prepare early?"

"I shall follow Master's teachings and not fail the mission!"

With satisfaction, Taiyi Zhenren nodded and said: "The treasure protecting Chentang Pass is a bow named Qiankun Bow, with three arrows called the Sky-shattering Arrow. Since Emperor Xuan Yuan greatly defeated Chi You, no one has managed to wield it. Whoever shoots an arrow from this bow shall count as accomplished in archery and horse riding."

"Thank you, Master for guidance!"

"Do well, fate brings us together, I must go."

As soon as Taiyi Zhenren finished, he flicked two drops of dew from the lotus leaf, the whole person suddenly wrapped in a ball of water vapor, and then used Water Style to go to the sky, vanishing in an instant.

Nezha was stunned by the scene, more in awe of the Taoist immortal methods, but still pondering whether Taiyi Zhenren had indeed left.

Qiankun Bow, Sky-shattering Arrow.

Nezha returned to the room, lay on the bed, tossing and turning and couldn't sleep.

The heat in his heart burned, with curiosity about seeking immortality, powerful spells, and fear of the seemingly predetermined future.

He turned his head to look outside the window, seeing the moon like a silver disc hanging high in the Nine Heavens.

Nezha recalled what was said in the book: Nezha at Chentang Pass, drew the Qiankun Bow and shot an arrow, hitting Skull Mountain White Bone Cave; there was a disciple of Lady Shi Ji named Bi Yun Boy, carrying a Flower Basket collecting herbs, under the cliff, struck in the throat by this arrow, flipping over and dying...

"Bows and arrows are indeed not for children to play with, even if they don't hit people, shooting flowers and plants isn't good either."

Nezha mumbled, thoughts full of the highly skilled Lady Shi Ji.
