Dijiang's remnant soul walked on the Bridge of Helplessness. The ghost messengers on the way saw the innate spiritual light surrounding the remnant soul, but they did not stop him or make him join the queue.
Dijiang walked up to Meng Po, who had been keeping her head down while simmering the soup. Finally, Meng Po raised her head and handed him a bowl of Meng Po soup.
When Meng Po presented the soup, she only glanced at Di Jiang indifferently. Of course, she had already recognized Di Jiang, but she did not say anything to acknowledge him.
Whether it's mockery or pity, what meaning does it have for Dijiang now?
Upon seeing this, Dijiang breathed a sigh of relief.
This kind of being ignored is what makes him feel most comfortable...
Dijiang took the alms bowl in his hand, brought it to his lips, and was about to drink the Meng Po soup in the bowl in one gulp.
Suddenly, a lucky cloud flew in from afar, and a child in a colorful skirt stood on the cloud.
"Wait a minute!"
The boy descended from the auspicious cloud and called out to Dijiang.
Dijiang stopped what he was doing and turned his head to look in confusion.
The boy arrived before Meng Po first, prostrated himself, and bowed, saying, "This humble servant greets Your Majesty."
Meng Po simply nodded, then lowered her head and continued brewing the Meng Po soup.
The boy, unconcerned by the situation, got up from the ground and approached Dijiang's remnant soul, saying with a smile, "Senior, please wait before drinking the Meng Po soup. Come with me to see the Empress first."
"Your Majesty? Which Your Majesty?" Di Jiang asked, frowning.
“Naturally, it is the Eastern Azure Flower Emperor, Lady Guankong,” the boy said matter-of-factly.
"Observing emptiness?"
Of course Dijiang knew her; she was just Xuanxiang's eldest disciple.
What does she want to see me for?
Are you still not going to let him go?
That shouldn't be happening!
He's fallen to this level, what right does he have to be targeted by them...
But he's already in this state, what difference would it make if he went to see Guan Kong? Things can't get much worse anyway...
“Very well! You may lead the way.” Dijiang readily agreed and returned the Meng Po soup to Meng Po.
Meng Po had no objection to this; she simply put away the alms bowl indifferently and handed it to another ghost on the other side...
The boy coughed and spat out a white lotus, which landed on the ground and instantly transformed into a flying boat.
The flying boat shimmered with light and was surrounded by rosy clouds, making it appear quite extraordinary.
"Please follow me, senior."
As the boy spoke, he boarded the flying boat first, and Dijiang followed him up.
The boy channeled a wisp of magic into the restrictive core of the flying boat. The flying boat trembled slightly and rose from the ground into the sky, bathed in the blood-red moonlight. With a whoosh, it disappeared into the distance.
Soon, the flying boat left the underworld and headed towards the northern foothills of Yin Mountain.
After flying for hundreds of millions of miles, a hazy white light finally appeared at the end of the line of sight, and in that white light hung a pure land world.
The world is filled with seven precious trees forming a forest, white lotuses blooming everywhere, and boundless auspicious light shining upon the earth. Auspicious energy permeates the heavens and earth, exuding a serene and peaceful atmosphere...
The flying boat entered the Eastern Pure Land, then flew over the Seven Treasures Forest, and finally stopped in front of a palace surrounded by celestial light.
The boy piloted the flying boat and landed slowly. He led Dijiang off the boat, then put the boat away and led Dijiang towards the palace.
Not long after, they entered the palace and finally met Guan Kong in the main hall.
At this moment, Guan Kong was dressed in plain clothes, sitting languidly on a twelve-petaled pure white lotus. Behind him stood a tall and majestic seven-treasure immortal tree, which drooped down with myriad rays of immortal light and auspicious energy.
She held a primordial dual-element whisk in her arms, which also emitted wisps of five-colored light.
When she saw the boy leading Dijiang to arrive, she did not get up, but merely glanced at Dijiang with a smile.
"Dijiang! Do you know why you've ended up like this?" Guankong didn't bother with pleasantries with Dijiang and asked this question directly.
Dijiang raised an eyebrow. Was this little brat trying to humiliate him?
"You young upstart! You should have your teacher ask me that question yourself."
At this moment, he had already perished, which could be considered as transcending the calamity. His mind was no longer disturbed by the calamity, and his consciousness had become much clearer.
However, even so, he never regretted what he had done.
As for why we've ended up in this situation, it's simply because we're not as skilled as others...
"My teacher, hehe..." Guan Kong chuckled softly, "Let alone you now, even in the past, how could you compare to my teacher..."
Seeing that even Emperor Jiang had fallen to such a state, it was utterly laughable that he still clung to his status as a senior.
Who is her teacher?
That was the real Pangu, the ruler of the Heavenly Court, and the supreme human emperor. He had created the Six Paths of Reincarnation, and had been in charge of the Netherworld. His cultivation and abilities were almost unparalleled in the primordial world.
In today's world, how many people can compare to him?
Dijiang may have attained enlightenment before Hu Le.
But what can you do about it?
What progress has Dijiang made in recent years?
In Guan Kong's view, Di Jiang and others may have once been arrogant and domineering in the prehistoric world, but with the rise of his teacher, Di Jiang and others' cultivation has not only not improved much in recent years, but has been declining all the time.
She believed that even if Dijiang did not perish in the calamity this time, it wouldn't be long before she herself surpassed Dijiang in terms of cultivation.
In the primordial world, strength has always been paramount, and status and position have always been linked to strength.
After all, no matter how noble your background is, if you lack strength, no one will respect you.
Perhaps, the more prestigious one's background, the more dangerous it may be.
In any case, there are many secret techniques and supernatural powers in the primordial world that can plunder the creation essence of others to achieve one's own goals...
Guan Kong's words were like a sharp sword, piercing through Di Jiang's last bit of stubbornness.
He knows perfectly well that a phoenix that has lost its feathers is no better than a chicken. In his current state, anything he says will be wrong.
"You, a junior, summoned me here merely to humiliate me?"
If so, congratulations, you did it!
Dijiang suppressed his anger and frustration, and pretended to be indifferent.
Guan Kong smiled gently upon hearing this, "Di Jiang, you are about to enter reincarnation. With the foundation you have built in this life, you may have the opportunity to re-enter the Dao in the next life."
"I have no disciples yet, but I intend to take you as my disciple in your next life. What do you think?"
Guan Kong finally revealed the real reason why he had summoned Di Jiang.
"What……"
Upon hearing this, Dijiang's face finally changed color.
He never expected that Guan Kong would set his sights on him.
Should I take him as my disciple in his next life?
Is this a joke?
Who does she think she is?
He was initially furious, but remembering his current state, he immediately calmed down and began to seriously consider Guan Kong's suggestion.
After pondering the future for a while, he suddenly felt that becoming Guan Kong's disciple and her eldest disciple might not be such a bad thing after all...
After Guan Kong finished speaking, he did not force Di Jiang to make an immediate statement. Instead, he closed his eyes and quietly waited for Di Jiang's decision.
She also wanted to give Dijiang a chance, and if he was unwilling, she wouldn't force him...
