Chapter 108: Master and Disciple's Mutual Suspicion

  After receiving the order to guide Du E, Zhenren knew that this was another good deed arranged by the saint for himself. Since he had come this far, he hoped that the guide would not abandon him.

  After Nezha lost his physical body, his soul had nowhere to go. According to the teachings of Taiyi Zhenren, Yin Furen built a temple for him, where he could receive the power of incense and re-condense his body.

  Li Jing had been extremely grieved since Nezha's death, and he had long thrown away his mischievous ways. However, Li Jing was not good at expressing his emotions, and his temper became extremely violent, even Madam Yin didn't give him a good face to look at. Every day, he relied on fine wine to pass the time. On this day, while drinking, he saw a red-robed Taoist priest standing in front of him. Li Jing forced himself to open his eyes and saw that it was his own teacher, Du E.

  Li Jing hastily knelt down and said, "Teacher is above, I, Li Jing, did not know that the teacher had arrived, please forgive me."

  "You only know how to mumble and grumble, don't you have anything else to say? Do you need me to come find you when something happens?" Li Jing was momentarily unable to understand Du E's words.

  "Hmph, your precious son isn't dead in body, I suppose you're anxious about this too. Master will think of a way for you." This time Li Jing understood, his face completely sober "Thank you, great master!" Li Jing kept kowtowing.

  "Nezha is the body of the Primordial Spirit Pearl, with a deep foundation, and has the opportunity to reach the state of Mixed Origin. To reshape his form, it must be a primordial object that can do so, the best being the Soil of Immortality. However, I couldn't get it from Master, so I had to swallow my pride and go to Mount Sumeru to ask for help from Daoist Xuan Cheng, and managed to obtain a Primordial Lotus Flower. If Nezha can transform using this Primordial Lotus Flower, his future achievements will surely be great."

  Li Jing heard that the teacher was for his own young son, and he really went to great lengths, kneeling on the ground, constantly expressing gratitude.

  "Little monk, do you know where Nezha's soul is now?" Li Jing was taken aback upon hearing this, he really didn't know. Coincidentally, Mrs. Yin was worried that Li Jing had been drinking too much and came to see him, she also knew about the matter and was overjoyed.

  "Old master, I know where Nezha's soul is. The other day, he appeared to me in a dream and asked me to build a palace for him in the west of the city, so that he can collect the power of incense and condense his physical body." Before Madame Yin could finish speaking, Duan E True Person's face changed immediately, her eyebrows furrowed, and her expression was extremely strange.

  "Is there something wrong with this, teacher?"

  "There's a big problem, remember what I said? Nezha was born from the Primordial Spirit Pearl and belongs to the Primordial realm. How can he condense his physical form with mental power? Mental power is impure and profane, it will pollute his original spirit. Isn't this ruining the child? I'm afraid Nezha wouldn't think of such a method, it must be from the Taiyi Sect. But isn't Taiyi pushing the child into the fire pit?"

  Before Du E could finish speaking, Li Jing turned around and ran out, rushing towards the west of the city. As soon as he left the city, on the halfway up a mountain not far away, Li Jing saw a newly built imperial palace, with incense still burning strongly inside. It was indeed his son's imperial palace.

  Only in the middle was Nezha's golden body, Li Jing opened his wise eyes and saw that Nezha was inside the golden body, absorbing the power of thought. His heart was anxious, "Nezha, stop quickly, don't absorb any more power of thought."

  Nezha saw at a glance that it was Li Jing. "Hmph, I've already broken off relations with you, why are you still looking for me?"

  "Son, it's your father's fault that you're dying in front of the Dragon King of the Four Seas. I'm sorry for being unable to save you, but you should also understand my difficulties. However, stop now, I've found a way to rescue you."

  "Hmph, you deceived me! Taizhen Master has already passed on his secret techniques to me, and I will soon regain my physical body."

  "Taiyi Zhenren is deceiving you, he's sending you down a dead-end road." Li Jing said this out of dissatisfaction with Taiyi, but in Nezha's ears, it sounded like Li Jing was openly driving a wedge between the master and disciple relationship. Nezha had already condensed his physical body for several days and had taken on a somewhat solid form.

  In a fit of rage, he rushed towards Li Jing. Li Jing was a great general of the border town, with countless killings on his body, and an aura that oppressed people. Nezha was young and didn't know the danger. If he had a physical body, he wouldn't be afraid, but after losing his physical body, facing the bloody aura, Nezha felt as if he had fallen into a pot of oil as soon as they touched, suffering endlessly.

  Li Jing was at a loss for a moment when he saw his son's soul injured, this evil spirit was obtained by killing and was not under his control. Nezha was shattered in an instant between the collision, the mud-plastered golden body was instantly broken, Nezha felt an unbearable pain, his eyes were staring at Li Jing with flames, and he turned into a green smoke and disappeared.

  Things developed extremely quickly, and Li Jing hadn't even had a chance to explain things clearly to Nezha before he disappeared. This made Li Jing so angry that he stomped his foot. At this time, Du E and Yin Furen also arrived. Li Jing was extremely embarrassed - with good intentions, not only had he failed to help his son, but he had also smashed his mud figurine. The child would certainly resent him for this.

  He let out a long sigh and said, "Alas, Nezha has his own destiny. I think Taiyi True Man might have better materials to recreate Nezha's physical body." Li Jing could only comfort himself this way.

  Nezha's soul arrived at the Golden Light Cave of Qianyuan Mountain, where he cried to Taiyi Zhenren about his past. Taiyi took out a lotus flower and used great magic to recreate Nezha's body, then gave him two acquired treasures: the Wind Fire Wheel and the Fire Tip Spear.

  Nezha brought the treasure down from the mountain and rushed straight to Chentang Pass. Li Jing was sitting idly in his government office when someone suddenly reported that the Third Prince had returned again. Li Jing hastily got up and went to the gate of the government office, where he saw a handsome young man riding on a wind-and-fire wheel, holding a spear in his hand, with his face almost distorted from rage.

  "Li Jing, you have a ruthless heart. I've long since cut ties with you, so why do you still seek to destroy my reputation? Today, I will settle the score with you."

  Before Li Jing could respond, Nezha suddenly stabbed forward. Li Jing said that his shallow and superficial behavior was no match for Nezha's opponent. At this moment, the True Man of Du E appeared at the door, waving his dusting brush to deflect Nezha's spear back.

  "Bold Na Zha, why did you commit patricide? Are you going to defy Heaven?"

  Nezha saw that the Taoist priest in front of him was somewhat old, but his aura was very strong, and his cultivation and moral integrity were extremely deep, seemingly not inferior to his teacher.

  "Who are you to intervene, and what business do you have with my dealings with Li Jing? Besides, I've already cut ties with him as his father. Since he's ruined my true body for no reason, I must settle the score with him. You'd best not meddle in this affair."

  "Hmph, little doll, I am Li Jing's master, the one from Western Kunlun who has come to save you. As your birth father, can Li Jing just cut ties with his own flesh and blood? You were originally a Pre-Heavenly Spirit Pearl, and where did your soul come from if not from your parents? Li Jing is worried sick about you, and I have also calculated that you have a great calamity ahead of you. That's why I've gone to great lengths to obtain this treasure to save your life. How can you be so ungrateful?"

  Nezha heard that the other party had actually come to save him, and thought that there might be some misunderstanding. However, Nezha did not admit it on his mouth. "If he wanted to save me, why did he smash my golden body? Isn't he deceiving people?"

  "You ignorant fool, follow me to the back house and let's get things clear." Du E said with a wave of his hand, his sleeve instantly covering Nezha, and together with Li Jing, they arrived in the great hall.
