Shen Gongbao moved his four newly grown arms with great interest, marveling at the realistic sensation he felt at his fingertips:
"This so-called three heads and six arms doesn't seem that hard to train!"
After entering Crane Garden, Shen Gongbao first studied the marriage line for a period of time. When he realized that he couldn't understand it, he tried the supplementary spells in the Jade Purity True Technique.
Shen Gongbao's first attempt was the famous three heads and six arms.
On the one hand, the Three Heads and Six Arms move is indeed practical. Once the Three Heads and Six Arms is used, the Three Heads and Six Arms Dharma Form can be activated immediately. With multiple magic weapons used at the same time, the combat power can be doubled at the very least.
On the other hand, Shen Gongbao happens to know a minor expert with three heads and six arms. If he doesn't make good use of this, wouldn't it be a waste of his status as a second-generation disciple of the Chan Sect?
Seeing Shen Gongbao's smug expression, Nezha, though equally astonished by the speed at which Shen Gongbao had cultivated the Three Heads and Six Arms technique, wore a face full of disdain:
"Hmph, what do you mean by 'having three heads and six arms is not difficult'? It's only because I, your master, taught you well. If it weren't for my guidance, with your level of comprehension, you wouldn't even be able to get started after practicing for a hundred years!"
If Nezha had said this to Taiyi Zhenren's face, he would have been scolded severely.
But in front of Shen Gongbao, Nezha had already figured out his uncle's temperament—as long as he didn't cross the line, his uncle wouldn't care about a little bit of insolence.
"oh?"
Shen Gongbao suddenly reached out and pinched Nezha's chubby cheek:
"Kid, you're pretty arrogant, aren't you? Looks like you want to go swing on the tree again?"
Just then.
Shen Gongbao suddenly saw the sea of clouds surging on the horizon, and a pure white immortal path descending from the heavens like a cascading Milky Way, stretching across the sky.
"Is this the Jade Emperor coming to pay a visit to the Primordial Celestial Venerable?"
Shen Gongbao suddenly recalled a distant scene from his memory.
However, Shen Gongbao didn't say much at this moment, but just quietly looked out at the sky.
That pure white cloud path was formed by the Jade Emperor with supreme magical power. Wherever it passed, golden lotuses bloomed and cranes circled, displaying the majesty of the Heavenly Court.
At the end of the cloud road, thousands of heavenly soldiers and generals stood solemnly in formation, their golden armor reflecting the sun and their banners fluttering in the wind.
The Heavenly Emperor's dragon chariot slowly approached, with nine five-clawed golden dragons bowing their heads and softly chanting. Seated atop the chariot was none other than the Supreme Being of the Three Realms—the Jade Emperor Haotian.
He wore a twelve-tassel crown. Although he was a quasi-saint, he was in charge of the Heavenly Court and was surrounded by imperial purple aura, making him incomparably majestic.
However, today he is not using the power of the Heavenly Emperor to overpower all living beings, but rather he is coming to Kunlun with the respect due to a junior to pay homage to the sage.
"Stop the carriage."
The Jade Emperor raised his hand, and the nine dragons stopped abruptly, the imperial carriage coming to a steady stop at the foot of Mount Kunlun.
He did not ride the cloud directly to the Jade Void Palace, but descended slowly to show his respect for the Primordial Celestial Venerable.
At the summit of Kunlun Mountain, in front of the Jade Void Palace.
The Primordial Celestial Venerable had long sensed the heavenly secrets, but did not deliberately reveal himself to welcome him. He simply ordered the Boundless Immortal Elder to open the palace gates, while he himself sat upright on the eight-treasure cloud light, with auspicious clouds stretching thirty thousand feet high and golden lamps and garlands hanging down, displaying the supreme Daoist charm of a sage.
The Jade Emperor arrived at the mountain gate, looked up at the majestic Kunlun Mountains, his expression solemn, bowed respectfully, and said in a clear voice:
"Haotian pays respects to the Primordial Sage."
The voice was calm, yet contained the true words of Heaven, spreading throughout the vast Kunlun Mountains and rivers, heard by all spirits.
He did not refer to himself as "朕" (Zhen, meaning "I" or "the Emperor"), but instead used his real name "昊天" (Haotian, meaning "Heaven") to show humility.
He did not say "visit," but instead said "pay my respects," showing the courtesy due to a junior.
—Although he was the Heavenly Emperor, he did not follow the Heavenly Laws and decrees, and treated people with the same courtesy as ordinary immortals.
"Buzz—"
Before the Jade Void Palace, a golden avenue stretched out, and the serene voice of the Primordial Celestial Venerable resounded:
"The Great Celestial Venerable has arrived in person. Please come inside for a chat."
The Jade Emperor nodded slightly before leading his entourage onto the golden road and ascending step by step to the Jade Void Palace.
Behind him, all the immortals and gods lowered their heads and looked on respectfully, none daring to overstep their sacred authority.
"The battle for the title of Gods is about to begin!"
As Shen Gongbao watched the Jade Emperor step into the Jade Void Palace, his expression instantly turned solemn.
Nezha was puzzled:
"Although the Jade Emperor is the supreme ruler of the Three Realms, he can't control our Sage Sect, can he? Didn't you see how respectful he is to the Heavenly Venerable? The Investiture of the Gods should be able to drag on for a while longer, right?"
Shen Gongbao shook his head with a serious expression:
"Then you underestimate the Jade Emperor. He is the ruler of the Three Realms appointed by the Dao Lord. Even if his cultivation is not as good as yours, he doesn't need to show the respect of a junior. Since he has come here with such a large force this time, he must have something else on his mind. His only purpose can only be the Investiture of the Gods!"
There were some things that Shen Gongbao couldn't say to Nezha.
As the attendant of the Dao Lord Hongjun, and also in charge of governing the Three Realms by the Dao Lord, it is not inappropriate for the Jade Emperor to address the Primordial Heavenly Venerable as "senior brother".
This time, however, he not only climbed the mountain to pay homage in front of all living beings, but also performed the junior's courtesy to Yuanshi Tianzun, which can be said to have given Yuanshi Tianzun enough face.
Therefore, the result is obvious.
"Fellow Daoist, I never expected that there would be a disciple in the Chan Sect who understands our Jade Emperor as well as you do. This is truly a cause for celebration."
Suddenly, a hearty laugh came from not far from Shen Gongbao and his companion.
Shen Gongbao had already sensed the newcomer when he appeared at the Crane Garden, and he even knew the newcomer's identity perfectly well. However, at this moment, Shen Gongbao feigned doubt and asked:
"Shen Gongbao, a disciple of the Chan Sect, greets fellow Daoist. May I ask where your immortal abode is?"
Venus stroked his white beard and said with a smile:
"My name is Li Changshou, and I hold the position of Venus in the Heavenly Court. I have come here specifically to visit you, fellow Daoist."
"You came specifically to visit me?"
Shen Gongbao was also surprised; in his previous life, he had never received such treatment.
Venus himself had already reached the level of a Taiyi Golden Immortal, which would certainly place him among the top ranks of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect.
At this time, although the power of the Heavenly Court could not be compared with that after the Investiture of the Gods, as the number one person in the Heavenly Court besides Haotian and the Queen Mother, Taibai Jinxing did not need to win over his second-generation disciple who had no status in the Chan Sect.
So what exactly is the reason he came to see me this time?
…………
"What? You mean Taibai Jinxian went to find that beast Shen Gongbao?"
Outside Yuxu Palace, after hearing the report from his disciples, Ju Liusun was furious.
When the Jade Emperor visited the Jade Void Palace, the other Heavenly Court personnel were fine, but important Heavenly Court officials like Taibai Jinxian could not be ignored even by the Chan Sect.
Therefore, this time, he came to entertain Taibai Jinxian at the arrangement of Wuliang Xianweng.
Unexpectedly, before he could even see Venus, Shen Gongbao intercepted him.
"Damn Shen Gongbao! I thought he'd be more obedient after being punished to guard the Crane Garden, but he actually caused trouble when the Jade Emperor visited my Chan Sect. If anything goes wrong this time, I'll make him pay!"
Having said that, Julusun's gaze swept over the surrounding crowd, and he said sternly:
"Come on, let's go find Shen Gongbao. I want to see what that bastard is up to by luring Taibai Jinxing to his place."
