Upon hearing this, Li Jing was greatly alarmed and rushed out. He looked at Taiyi Zhenren respectfully and said, "Li Jing greets the Great Immortal. May I ask what brings you here?"

Master Taiyi stroked his beard and smiled, saying, "Nothing much, I feel that your son has a connection with me, so I have come to take him as my disciple."

Upon hearing this, Li Jing said calmly, "My boy, alright then," and summoned San'er to accompany Taiyi Zhenren.

In the blink of an eye, spring and summer have passed, and eighteen years have gone by.

On this day, a cold wind blew and a light rain drizzled. A child, about a meter tall, rode a white cloud from the vast mountains and arrived in an instant. The child said to himself, "It's been eighteen years since we parted. I wonder if Mother still recognizes me. This is my first time returning home. I'll prepare some gifts for Mother. My teacher said that 'the dragon pearl is the essence of a dragon, and wearing it can prolong life and preserve youth.' That's it, I'll give her a dragon pearl." With that, he rode the cloud towards the East Sea.

On the shores of the East China Sea, the ribbon in the child's hand suddenly grew to a hundred feet long. With a wave of the child's tender little hand, the vast East China Sea suddenly trembled, and in a moment, towering waves rose. A few breaths later, a patrolling sea yaksha emerged from the water, looked at the child waving the ribbon above the clouds, and shouted sternly: "Whose child is this? Why don't you discipline him properly? Why do you dare to invade my East China Sea?"

The child turned around and saw that Li Liang had a face as blue as indigo, hair as red as cinnabar, a huge mouth with fangs, and held a large axe. He had a fierce appearance and couldn't help but feel disgusted. He said, "What kind of beast are you? You look so ugly!"

Demons are most averse to being called beasts, so the sea patrol yaksha was furious and swung his iron axe at the child.

To everyone's surprise, as the sea patrol yaksha swung his axe at him, the child smiled disdainfully, removed a gleaming ring from his neck, and tossed it away.

With a scream of agony, the sea patrol yaksha was struck so hard that his skull shattered and he died.

The child smiled coldly, ignoring the death of the sea patrol yaksha, and continued to fiddle with the ribbon in his hand, stirring the waters of the East Sea. Suddenly, the seawater within a radius of a thousand feet rose ten feet. The child was delighted and looked up, only to see a handsome young man in armor, wielding a divine halberd, sitting atop a strange beast, coldly staring at him, and saying, "Who are you? Why did you kill my East Sea patrol yaksha for no reason?"

The child smiled coldly and said indifferently, "I am Nezha, son of Li Jing, the general of Chentang Pass. My teacher is Taiyi Zhenren of Jinguang Cave on Qianyuan Mountain. I killed that beast. What can you do to me?" He then gave a cold snort.

The young man in golden armor sneered and said, "Son of the General, huh? I am Ao Bing, the Third Prince of the Dragon King of the East Sea! Taiyi Zhenren of the Golden Light Cave of Qianyuan Mountain, huh? Others may fear your teacher, but I, the Dragon King of the East Sea, am not afraid. Today I will teach you a lesson and let you know that there are some places you can't play in." As he spoke, he raised his head, roared, and revealed his true form. A giant dragon, a hundred feet long, with two claws under its belly and its body shimmering with golden light, appeared. Suddenly, a deafening dragon roar came, and Ao Bing swung its two claws under its belly, turning into a golden light and biting at the child.

The child watched the dragon hurtling towards him, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws, and a cold smile crept onto his lips. The crimson ribbon in his right hand coiled towards Ao Bing like a long snake, while his left hand flicked, and a crimson cloth a hundred feet in diameter covered Ao Bing. He whispered, "Universe Ring, go!" Instantly, the Universe Ring transformed into a hundred feet in size and smashed towards Ao Bing's dragon head.

Ao Bing was shocked to see that the child possessed such a magical treasure. With his dragon head wide open, he spat out a mouthful of blazing golden light towards the child.

Seeing a golden light rushing towards them, the child changed his hand gestures, and a hundred-foot-long crimson cloth wrapped around the golden light. The hundred-foot-long ribbon wrapped around Ao Bing's crimson dragon body, and the hundred-foot-long Qiankun Ring, carrying earth-shattering power, crashed down towards Ao Bing's head.

At the critical moment, a deafening roar suddenly rang out. The child turned around and saw a middle-aged man dressed in a black and yellow dragon robe staring at him with blood-red eyes. The child was terrified and broke out in a cold sweat. "Who is it?" he asked. "Look..."

Chapter 127: The Lotus Incarnation and King Zhou's Scheme

Just as Ao Bing, the third son of the Dragon King of the East Sea, was about to perish under the Qiankun Circle, a middle-aged man with a sinister expression slowly emerged from the water, stirring up a hundred-foot wave. The child, seeing the man's overwhelming power, comparable to his teacher, was terrified. His right hand trembled involuntarily, and the ribbon binding Ao Bing loosened. The man roared, and a deafening dragon's cry seemed to tangibly impact the child's young mind. Startled, the child disregarded Ao Bing's dragon form, summoned his protective magic weapon, and used the blazing golden light to transform into a golden beam and disappear. This was the supreme movement technique of the Chan Sect, the Golden Light Leaping Technique. The Golden Light Technique of Leaping Earth borrows the power of heaven and earth to transform into a ray of golden light, allowing one to travel 196,000 li in an instant. However, the child was bound by the limitations of his cultivation and magical power, but he still flew 100,000 li in an instant. The middle-aged man with an unfriendly expression looked at the child's fleeting figure, smiled disdainfully, revealed his true dragon form, and flew to the center of the cultivation world in an instant. He knew that there was a being there who could rival a saint, and would definitely stand up for him and give him justice.

At the center of the Immortal Realm, on Tianzhu Peak, Fuxi, who was lost in thought with his eyes closed, suddenly had a thought and transmitted his voice to his attendant boy, saying, "Lianfeng Boy, go and bring in Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East Sea."

A moment later, Ao Guang arrived. Looking at the Supreme Fuxi sitting on the altar, Ao Guang knelt down and respectfully said, "Ao Guang greets the Supreme, may the Supreme live a long life."

Fuxi looked at Ao Guang with a calm expression and said with a smile, "Ao Guang, I already know your purpose. Your son's life is not meant to end. Take my decree and go. Return quickly." As he spoke, he threw out a jade talisman that was shimmering with spiritual energy.

Chentang Pass, General's Residence.

Ao Guang was the Water Dragon God. As his thousand-foot-long dragon body passed by, there was a violent storm and lightning, dark clouds and gloomy winds, and water mist. Ao Guang traveled all the way to Li Jing's mansion, where he transformed into a middle-aged man and sneered at the general's mansion: "Li Jing, the Dragon King of the East Sea has come here. Why don't you all come and see him at once?" He then put on an arrogant posture.

Li Jing, who was reprimanding his third son Nezha in the council hall, was startled by the Dragon King's shout. He immediately rushed out and, looking at the middle-aged man floating in the air, said with utmost respect, "I was unaware of the Dragon King's arrival. I, Li Jing, pay my respects." He bowed respectfully, but secretly observed Ao Guang's unpredictable expression. Seeing the dark clouds and gales, and the massive water vapor a thousand meters behind Ao Guang, he sensed something was wrong and said, "I wonder what the Dragon King needs my assistance with? I will do my utmost."

Ao Guang smiled coldly and said, "Li Jing, let your third son return my son Ao Bing's natal dragon pearl." As he spoke, thunder rumbled and water vapor filled the area within a radius of about a mile.

Li Jing was startled and thought to himself, "Third son, I thought you would become more knowledgeable and polite after eighteen years, but you are still the same. Well, since that's how it is, don't blame your father..." Thinking this, Li Jing said loudly, "Your Majesty the Dragon King, the crime committed by your son Ao Bing was done by my son Nezha alone. The crime does not belong to the entire Chen Tang Pass. I beg you to have mercy and forgive the sins of the hundreds of thousands of people in my Chen Tang Pass." Then he said fiercely, "Go and capture this wicked child to see Your Majesty the Dragon King."
