Haotian's attitude left Taiyi Zhenren speechless. Taiyi hadn't expected Haotian to show no respect to Yuanshi Tianzun, constantly referring to the Heavenly Dao. In short, Haotian's message was clear: "I am the Heavenly Emperor, acting on behalf of the Heavenly Dao. As Hongjun said, even a sage like you is under my jurisdiction. My will is the will of the Heavenly Dao. Doesn't your Chan Sect follow the Heavenly Dao? Then you should deal with Nezha as I do."
Taiyi Zhenren's face turned black with anger, his lips turned white, and he frowned for a while before saying, "In that case, let the Great Emperor deal with Nezha. However, I have important matters to attend to in my cave, so I will take my leave." After saying this, he left without paying any attention to Nezha's pleas.
Thirty-four Nezha is still the Spirit Pearl
Last time, Nezha destroyed the South Heavenly Gate, and Haotian wanted to punish Nezha. Taiyi Zhenren originally wanted to bring up Yuanshi Tianzun to suppress Haotian, but Haotian did not buy it at all, which angered Taiyi Zhenren so much that he left.
It wasn't that Taiyi truly wanted to leave, but rather that things had already reached this point. Nezha's matter was extremely troublesome; reasoning with him wouldn't work, as Nezha was at fault first, and everyone had witnessed it. No matter how he tried to justify it, it wouldn't be convincing. Bringing up Yuanshi Tianzun wouldn't work either, and Haotian had even indirectly mocked the Chan Sect. Forcibly taking him by force wouldn't work either. Leaving aside the consequences of such an action, even if Taiyi wanted to be forceful, he couldn't. He had only just entered the Great Luo Scattered Immortal realm, and only through the abundant spiritual energy and stellar essence of the Heavenly Court. He was no match for Haotian. Haotian had followed the Dao Ancestor for so many years. Although he was just a novice, his knowledge was probably no less than that of some people. He was just unlucky. In the Heavenly Court, Haotian and Yaochi were two Quasi-Saints. Although he had never seen them show their skills and did not even know what kind of cultivation techniques they practiced, they were still recognized by their teacher. As a Quasi-Saint, even a Great Luo Immortal like him would not dare to go looking for death. Therefore, the only way was to leave this place first, go back and discuss it with someone. If all else failed, he could also seek help from Yuanshi Tianzun.
Nezha had hoped his master could save him, but in the end, his master also left, departing so gracefully and elegantly, as if waving his hand and leaving without a trace. Nezha was utterly disappointed and slumped to the ground in despair.
With Taiyi Zhenren gone and no one stopping him, Wang Lingguan naturally dragged Nezha to behead him. Wang Lingguan pulled Nezha to the execution platform, and with a snap, Nezha's head fell to the ground. Wang Lingguan didn't care, but Nezha's corpse was taken away by Ao Bing.
Ao Bing was overjoyed to receive Haotian's help, except for Nezha. He said to Haotian, "This little dragon thanks Your Majesty. On behalf of the millions of lives lost in the East Sea, this little dragon thanks Your Majesty for your kindness."
The flattery was well-deserved, but Haotian didn't seem to appreciate it. He waved his hand dismissively and said, "That's enough. Go back now. Do your job well and don't forget your duties."
Seeing that Haotian wasn't in a good mood, Ao Bing left. Indeed, Haotian had offended Yuanshi for this, so he wasn't in a good mood. Although Ao Bing didn't appreciate his kindness, he didn't want to say anything more, since Haotian had at least helped him. As soon as Haotian spoke, Ao Bing apologized and left.
After descending to the mortal realm, Ao Bing arrived at Chentang Pass, found the Li family residence, and returned Nezha's corpse to Lady Yin, saying, "Nezha violated the Heavenly Laws and has been beheaded by the Jade Emperor. Seeing that he was young, I could not bear it, so I brought his corpse back so that you could see it one last time before burying it." After saying this, he left.
Lady Yin cried her heart out and fainted. The Li family was in a flurry of activity. Li Jing, who was training troops outside, also returned. The whole family was busy dealing with Nezha's funeral arrangements, which will not be described in detail here.
Now, Nezha, after being dragged to the Execution Platform and beheaded, did not actually perish. The Execution Platform was bestowed by Hongjun when the Heavenly Court was building it; any immortal dragged onto this platform and struck down would die, their true spirit dissipating. The Execution Platform was specifically designed to deal with the primordial spirit, and even Great Luo Golden Immortals were useless against it. However, the fact that Great Luo Golden Immortals were useless did not mean that Sages were useless either. After Nezha was beheaded, his true spirit did not dissipate along with the shattering of his primordial spirit, but instead floated to the Nuwa Palace in the Outer Heavens.
At this moment, Xuan Tian and Nuwa were already in Nuwa's palace. When Nuwa saw the drifting spirit, she smiled at Xuan Tian and said, "Please help me, senior brother."
Xuan Tian laughed and said, "Of course." After saying that, he reached out and grabbed the true spirit in his hand.
Then Xuan Tian laughed and said, "If Junior Sister doesn't make a move now, are you just waiting to see your brother make a fool of himself?"
Nuwa smiled gently and took out an object, which was the Breath Soil used to create humans. Most of it was used to create humans, and some was borrowed by Yu the Great. Now only a small lump was left. However, don't think that this small lump is insignificant. The Breath Soil has miraculous effects. It grows as soon as it lands and is exposed to the wind. This small lump of Breath Soil is actually heavier and larger than Mount Tai.
Nuwa said, "Senior brother, you still need to lend a hand."
With a flick of his sleeve, Xuan Tian conjured a pool of water in the void. This was no ordinary water, but the Three Lights Divine Water, the very substance Nuwa used to create humanity. This Three Lights Divine Water was not easily obtained; even the Primordial Heavenly Lord possessed only a small amount, which he revered as a priceless treasure, refusing to give to anyone. However, for Xuan Tian, this was a simple matter. The Three Lights Divine Water was a rare and wondrous substance, second only to the Chaos Water. Only a small amount existed in the world at the very beginning of creation, in the possession of the Primordial Heavenly Lord; since then, no one had been known to possess it. The item is gone, but Xuan Tian can't find it. However, he can conjure it up. Back then, Xuan Tian stole the Xuan Yuan Water Control Flag from the Styx River. This flag is one of the five flags of heaven and earth, a supreme treasure of water, containing the Great Dao of Water. At that time, the Styx River had the Blood Lotus but hadn't fully comprehended it, so naturally he didn't have time to comprehend the Great Dao in the Xuan Yuan Water Control Flag. Later, Xuan Tian stole it, comprehended the Great Dao in the flag, and conjured up the Three Lights Divine Water. Back when Nuwa created humans, his cultivation level wasn't high enough to conjure up much of it. Now that he has become a saint, such methods are naturally a piece of cake for him.
