100: Damaged Soul

What kind of people are Nezha and Yang Jian?

To put it nicely, they have personality; to put it bluntly, they are rebellious!

In the past, Nezha and Yang Jian often defied the Jade Emperor's orders, indeed accomplishing several extraordinary feats.

However, their identities are different now. They both see clearly what Heaven is doing, but often, from their standpoint, they cannot say anything.

Now, the entire Three Realms is in trouble, and it seems that only they can solve the problem. So, should they still be polite to those so-called Immortals of Heaven? Even if there are conflicts, they now keep their distance!

Therefore, they cannot and do not want to control what those Immortals hidden in the Mortal Realm want to do.

"We haven't seen them harming the common people yet. If those possessed common people truly turn into wandering spirits, unable to reincarnate, then we'll come back to settle accounts with them!" Yang Jian snorted coldly, "For now, let's observe. I don't think they'd dare to do anything too outrageous..."

The Bull Demon King chuckled coldly, "The affairs of Mortals have nothing to do with me, but you should be able to guess what those Immortals want to do. Immortals becoming rulers of a nation is already a great violation of the Dao, because the ruler of a nation is responsible for the livelihood of the common people, and thus obtains the nation's supreme Luck. And they, nothing more than want to use this Luck to re-cultivate their Immortal Bodies, re-forge their Physical Bodies, and finally Ascension to Immortals again! As for the lives of these common people, they couldn't care less."

"Old Bull, that's going too far!" Nezha said, displeased, "Don't forget we just saved you, and you're using that to choke us? Fine, even if what you say makes sense, is it possible that there isn't a single good person left in Heaven?"

The Bull Demon King paused, then shook his head and said, "Third Prince, I was impetuous... I didn't mean that, it's just... You've been in Heaven for a long time, so you should know the ways of some people there, especially that so-called Jade Emperor, his selfishness... Forget it, forget it, I won't say anymore. There are many good people in Heaven. Perhaps you and your father count, perhaps the True Monarch also counts... Hmm, of course, that mediator Taibai Jinxing isn't a bad person either, but as for the rest... Sorry, I really can't remember many good people!"

"Alright, alright, discussing this further is meaningless!"

Tang Ku hastily played peacemaker, "Continuing to argue will only hurt our harmony... Hmm, Longevity Mountain Wuzhuang Temple is just ahead. Our top priority is to find Great Immortal Zhenyuan and see if he has a way to cure Little White Dragon!"

He also saw that this Bull Demon King indeed had a straightforward temper, but his prejudice against Heaven was not something new, and Heaven looking down on the Yao Race was not a concept formed overnight. So, this kind of conflict could not be resolved with a few words. If he didn't stop them, they might really start fighting on Zun Zun, and that would be more loss than gain!

Although everyone still felt awkward and the grudges in their hearts could not be dispelled, with Tang Ku as a neutral ground, it was unlikely they would fight, but sulking was inevitable.

Fortunately, there was still something to do next. The group didn't feel awkward for long before their destination was reached. Zun Zun said to everyone, "There is a Mountain Protecting Formation outside Longevity Mountain. My transmission mechanism cannot reach its interior, so I can only send you outside the Formation!"

Tang Ku secretly rejoiced, "Since the Mountain Protecting Formation is activated, it means Great Immortal Zhenyuan should be inside... No time to lose, let's set off now!"

"Holy Monk, it's not good for me to show my face in this matter, so I'll stay on the shuttle and wait. Rakshasa hasn't fully recovered yet and still needs care!" The Bull Demon King cupped his hands.

"That's good too. I'll trouble Great Sage Equaling Heaven to guard this place, after all, Zun Zun is now our base!"

Tang Ku smiled, already having Zun Zun activate the teleportation function to send the others out.

As expected, the entire Longevity Immortal Mountain was subtly enveloped in a mist, with Immortal power continuously surging within it.

Tang Ku, being the victim of this matter, held Ao Lie's greasy hand and said to the Mountain Protecting Formation, "Tang Sanzang, with his Disciple, pays a visit to the mountain. We hope Great Immortal Zhenyuan will grant us convenience!"

The voice wasn't loud, but it clearly transmitted into the Formation. Within a few seconds, a huge swirling passage suddenly emerged from the thick mist. The few exchanged glances and then flew into the passage.

Outside Wuzhuang Temple, Zhen Yuanzi, holding a whisk, bowed from afar to Tang Ku, "Holy Monk, have you found Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva? What is the current situation of the Three Realms? Also, this poor Daoist has found out that the other party seems not to be from our world. Their methods have never appeared on this land... You... Um, wait... This is... Ao Lie? But why is he in this state?"

Tang Ku smiled bitterly, "I came today precisely for this matter..."

He briefly explained what happened to Ao Lie. Where he didn't explain clearly, Nezha and Yang Jian supplemented. Finally, Great Immortal Zhenyuan looked at Ao Lie in surprise and said, "You mean... His Three Ethereal Souls and Seven Corporeal Spirits are all present, but he still turned into this appearance? This is indeed strange..."

As he spoke, Great Immortal Zhenyuan reached out to grab Ao Lie's wrist.

Ao Lie's eyes darted around, then his head suddenly transformed into a Dragon form, and he bit at Great Immortal Zhenyuan's palm, just like a small dog guarding its food.

Tang Ku quickly scolded him, but saw Great Immortal Zhenyuan smiling. His entire arm seemed to become ethereal at that moment, passing through Ao Lie's mouth. Then he grabbed his wrist and said with a smile, "Haha, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, let this old Daoist see what's wrong with you..."

As he spoke, a divine light had already passed from Ao Lie's wrist along his arm. Immediately after, two Qi, one black and one white, bloomed from Ao Lie's body, gradually forming a Taiji-like pattern as they rotated. Ao Lie twisted restlessly, but his Dragon head shrank back, returning to his human form.

As the look of fear turned gentle, Little White Dragon actually closed his eyes in enjoyment, and these two Yin and Yang Qi circulated three times on his body before returning to Great Immortal Zhenyuan's body.

Zhen Yuanzi frowned tightly, releasing his hand, as if there was something difficult to understand.

"How is it, Great Immortal, do you have any clues?"

Tang Ku asked anxiously.

"Hmm, what you said is right, but not entirely right!"

Great Immortal Zhenyuan shook his head and said, "He indeed has all Three Ethereal Souls and Seven Corporeal Spirits, but these Three Ethereal Souls and Seven Corporeal Spirits are all damaged! In other words, every soul and every spirit is no longer complete!"
