The path to becoming a Saint is to courageously face obstacles and adversaries, winning the narrow road, and never relying on petty schemes to gain recognition from the Heavenly Dao. The former Six Saints, regardless of their personal motives and criticisms from immortals, each played an indelible role in the development of the Primordial world from a higher perspective.

Even if you rely solely on martial power, you must be strong enough for everyone to know your strength.

Gathering his thoughts, Nezha did not immediately return to the starry sky; he had many matters to attend to. Recognizing the direction, the space in front of him rippled like a water wave, and with one step, Nezha arrived at the foot of Kunlun Mountain.

Nezha seemed to be wandering outside for a long, long time, but in reality, only over three hundred years had passed since he left the Primordial world to rescue the Nanji Immortal, which for immortals is not much time at all.

On Kunlun Mountain, Taiyi and others who were anxiously waiting for Nezha's return immediately showed joy at his arrival, with Bai He even jumping up excitedly.

"I will go and greet Uncle Master Nezha!"

With that, he hurriedly ran out.

Nezha waited at the foot of the mountain for a moment before seeing the Child Bai He coming to greet him.

"Bai He greets Uncle Master Nezha! It has been a long time since we last met, and your Great Dao has achieved great progress, congratulations!"

Nezha laughed heartily, not concerned with Bai He's flattering remarks, thinking it was due to past events that Bai He was so complimentary. Little did he know, Bai He already imagined him as the illegitimate son of Yuanshi Tianzun in his mind.

"Do not worry, my disciple. I have already rescued your master."

Upon hearing this, Bai He immediately praised, "Uncle Master, you are truly skilled. I knew it would be so!"

Nezha nodded, thinking a secretary of Yuanshi Tianzun indeed knows how to speak well.

The two returned to Yuxu Palace, where Taiyi and others quickly stood up, looking at Nezha with complex expressions. As disciples of Saints, even though their cultivation was lacking, they clearly understood what the earlier event represented.

The feeling was like seeing a college buddy who used to hang out every day, suddenly notice him running for the country's presidency on the news, and with a high chance of success at that.

Such a complex emotion is difficult to express.

Everyone knew you were exceptional, but being this excessively exceptional made you feel unfamiliar!

Nezha didn't mind those thoughts, understanding that such feelings were natural. He calmly said, "You only see my current glory, but you don't know my troubles. My troubles, you can't even imagine."

Taiyi, Yun Zhongzi, and others fell silent again. Yes, we can't imagine the troubles of becoming a Saint because we simply don't have the chance!

However, with Nezha's interruption, everyone relaxed.

Nezha took out the True Spirit of the Nanji Immortal and said, "I have fulfilled my duty and brought back Senior Brother Nanji."

Seeing this, the others pursed their lips. A good person went out but only returned as a True Spirit. Was this going on the Investiture of the Gods or directly reincarnating?

Fearing they might misunderstand, Nezha quickly explained that even though there was a personal grudge between him and Senior Brother Nanji, this was not done by him. He almost got trapped while rescuing him.

"Do not misunderstand, fellow senior brothers. Senior Brother Nanji mistakenly entered the region of the Thought Demon God and was controlled by it. I met Master Yuan Shi on the way back after rescuing him. It was Master Yuan Shi who decided this, and if you don't believe me, you can sense the aura on this Soul Pearl."

Nezha's sense of justice was clear; he would confront face-to-face, but not ruin his character.

After sensing it, indeed, it was the aura of Yuanshi Tianzun. They immediately showed a look of apology: "Apologies, junior brother. We judged you wrongly."

Nezha paid no mind and continued, "Master Yuan Shi has found a way to lift the curse on Senior Brother Guang Chengzi and others, which he has entrusted to me, and we should proceed now."

The honest dragon showed joy: "Really?"

Although Huang Long was not well-liked, he genuinely cared about his senior brothers.

Nezha nodded, and along with Bai He and others, they came to the Delayed Array set by Yuanshi Tianzun. He took out nine cursed demon eyes and began absorbing the curses from their bodies through the array.

Bit by bit, the incantations, seemingly alive like twisted tadpoles, climbed onto the nine demon eyes, taking three months to finally remove the curse entirely.

The twelve Golden Immortals, who had been offline for countless chapters, were online once more!

The few who stepped out of the Delayed Array appeared a bit dazed, their memories still stuck in the chaos when they were cursed by the Fake Chaos Demon God while contesting for the Creation Jade Scroll Fragment.

Master Taiyi quickly briefed Guang Chengzi and others on major events in the Primordial world, yet they remained somewhat baffled, especially upon seeing Nezha taking out the Pangu Banner.

Even more confused.

Isn't this their teacher's Magical Treasure? How did it end up with Junior Brother Nezha? Could it be that Nezha has switched sides to Chan Sect?

Though full of doubts, Nezha did save them from their curse, rescued Senior Brother Nanji, and now as a key figure in Chan Sect, Guang Chengzi couldn't be impolite.

He hosted Nezha and eventually personally escorted him out of Kunlun Mountain.

After leaving Kunlun Mountain, Nezha opened the Ghost Gate and arrived at the underworld, a realm now efficiently run by Ji Chang, known for his administrative prowess, and bolstered by Nezha's suggestion of temporary off-staff policies. The underworld is now capable of handling the entire reincarnation process efficiently, eliminating understaffing issues.

Nezha first went to the place of Six Daos of Reincarnation and placed the True Spirit of the Nanji Immortal within, not granting any special privileges, as Yuanshi Tianzun hadn't instructed otherwise, right?

Afterward, he went deep into the underworld to the Houtu Palace, where Ancestor Witch Xuanming and Lady Houtu were present. Nezha entered and respectfully greeted: "Greetings to Lady Houtu, greetings to Elder Xuanming."

Before Lady Houtu could speak, Xuanming sneered coldly and gripped the handle of the Big Bone Blade at his waist.

The corner of Nezha's mouth twitched. The current Xuanming was way different from the curious child who used to pester him with questions. He had to revisit his greeting: "Hello, sisters."

Lady Houtu showed a faint smile and, pretending to be unaware, asked, "Young one, you are at a critical stage now. What brings you to the underworld?"

Nezha did not explain and directly stated, "I need to visit the Pangu Hall."

...

This time, Ancestor Witch Xuanming personally led the way to Pangu Hall, staying silent along the way, making Nezha somewhat uncomfortable. At the entrance of Pangu Hall, she threw an 'ice mass' at him, saying, "For you."

Instinctively, Nezha caught it, thankful for his strength; an ordinary immortal would have been crushed to a pulp by the impact.

Upon checking, he found that indeed it contained the essence blood of Ancestor Witch Xuanming, which warmed his heart. The character of Witches might change, but their hearts never do.

Inside the depths of the Pangu Hall, in the Blood Pool, a colossal creature soaked quietly. Its body was crimson, resembling a huge sack with no features but six legs and four wings. It was Nezha's dear elder brother, Emperor Jiang.

In the past, when Houtu became reincarnation and did not participate in the Witch-Demon war, she used the earth to gather fragments of Emperor Jiang's flesh and blood, nurturing them within the Pangu Hall for eons to form this body.

However, the fusion of Ancestor Witch's Divine Soul with Ancestor Witch's flesh had consumed his previous bodily form, and now, though it could regenerate through Pangu Hall's nourishment, the Divine Soul could not.

The original mystical Divine Soul contained in the flesh had grown too weak to control the newly-formed body, hence Emperor Jiang's continued dormancy.

The cause was sown in the past, and the effect is reaped today. In the past, Nezha came for Emperor Jiang's heart blood, and he gave it; today, it is time for him to awaken.

Nezha reached into his sleeve, producing a cluster of Emperor Jiang's heart blood. The strong bloodline power even caused Emperor Jiang's wings to flap, yearning to approach.

This essence blood cluster, of which Nezha retained only a small portion and left the rest here, he pressed onto Emperor Jiang's crimson body. The blood cluster squirmed, seeping into Emperor Jiang's blood vessels, eventually reaching his heart.

Thump!

Thump!

The powerful heartbeat echoed, marking the awakening of the Great Ancestor Witch Emperor Jiang after years of slumber.

Nezha didn't leave immediately; while keeping watch, he continued to comprehend the Twelve Du Heavenly God Slaughter Array, absorbing Xuanming's essence blood. This array provides immense support to Nezha's cultivation journey, comparable to any Magical Treasure or Divine Skills.
