Mixed in the heavens, merits and virtues become immortals

Chapter 396 Li Jing's Lotus Incarnation

Huashan.

Gu Qing and Chang'e stood outside Nezha's palace, watching Yao Ji, Yang Jiao, Yang Jian, and Yang Chan reunite as a family. The two exchanged a slight glance, then stepped aside, giving the family time to reunite. The two strolled through the mountains, their romance blossoming in the tranquility.

"I never expected the Jade Emperor to bow down."

Chang'e's voice carries a hint of osmanthus fragrance, clear and sweet.

Gu Qing turned his head to look at the Moon Goddess in front of him, who seemed sorrowful and lonely, yet also gentle.

When Chang'e spoke, Gu Qing deliberately did not answer, causing Chang'e to turn around and meet Gu Qing's gaze. She then thought of their intimacy in the Jade Pool, which made Chang'e's eyes flicker with a hint of unease, and she quickly looked away.

At this moment, Gu Qing seemed to come to his senses and said, "There isn't a single person in the Heavenly Court who can fight."

This answer seemed somewhat incoherent, but it gave Chang'e the impression that Gu Qing had been engrossed in women and hadn't listened to her.

A faint blush rose on Chang'e's smooth, crescent-shaped skin as she stood silently, saying nothing more.

"How do you think the Jade Emperor will retaliate against me?"

Gu Qing stood beside Chang'e, remained silent for a while, and then spoke with a smile.

Chang'e then looked up, thinking of Gu Qing's previous reckless behavior in the Heavenly Court, as well as the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother's fury, and said, "The Heavenly Court is currently weak, and the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother cannot defeat you. However, the Heavenly Palace is still the Heavenly Palace. There are always many immortals who want to join them there to attain immortality. Your confrontation with the Heavenly Palace will probably continue for a long time."

They will also have all sorts of overt and covert schemes to try and kill Gu Qing.

"However, your strength is already among the top in the Three Realms, so I believe few people would be willing to make things difficult for you."

He shot down the sun, refined the golden crow, devoured and transformed it, shattered the Jade Pool, and exposed the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother to the sun...

No one would want to offend such an enemy.

After hearing Chang'e's earnest analysis and considering Erlang Shen's configuration, Gu Qing said, "If the heavenly rules are unfair, then we will fight them to the end!"

Chang'e listened to Gu Qing's indignant words and carefully considered them.

"After all, the celestial maidens in Heaven are so beautiful, how can we stop them from marrying?"

Gu Qing looked at Chang'e and said.

The sudden change of topic caught Chang'e off guard. Unable to think of a dignified reply, she hastily said, "I only think of Hou Yi," and then turned to leave.

At this moment, Gu Qing reached out and embraced Chang'e from behind.

"what are you doing?"

Chang'e immediately panicked.

I want you to call my name, I want you to call my name every day...

Gu Qing imagined Bu Jingyun embracing Kong Ci, gently kissing Chang'e's cheek, and saying, "It's okay, I love you, it has nothing to do with you."

Chang'e reached out and touched her face, where the burning sensation was still... You've already kissed me, and you still say it has nothing to do with me?
Nezha's Palace.

Yao Ji was originally a resilient goddess, but the separation from her children over the past three years, as well as the death of Yang Tianyou, made her haggard. At this moment, she sat cross-legged, with Yang Jiao, Yang Jian, and Yang Chan weeping in front of her. These three children almost dispelled her will to die.

"Your child is incompetent."

Yang Jian cried and said, "I failed to save my mother and instead implicated my father."

This result was extremely difficult for him to accept. He had clearly tried his best, but he still couldn't achieve what he wanted.

Yao Ji reached out and gently stroked Yang Jian's hair, comforting him, "It's not your fault, it's not your fault."

Even Yao Ji never expected that the Jade Emperor had such a cold and ruthless side.

"This time, we owe it all to Gu Qing."

Yao Ji said, "He was able to return the Weak Water to the Milky Way and force the Jade Emperor to submit; he's truly remarkable." Thinking of the events in the Heavenly Palace, Yao Ji sneered, "But in the end, the Jade Emperor was still stubborn, saying that Tianyou was dead and their bond was severed..."

Yao Ji felt annoyed and frustrated when she thought of these arguments.

Yang Chan stood in front of her, thinking about what Yao Ji had said, recalling Gu Qing's previous rescue, the clear path he had shown her, and the method he had revealed to her father for resurrection. She never expected that in the end, Gu Qing would personally intervene to help her family regain their freedom.

“Gu Qing…”

With this thought in mind, Yang Chan hurriedly left the temple. Sensing Gu Qing's presence, she arrived in front of Gu Qing and Chang'e. She couldn't help but walk to Gu Qing's side, bow down, and sincerely say, "Thank you, benefactor."

Gu Qing gently helped her up, his gaze falling on Yang Chan's slender waist, where a jade-colored lotus lantern was pinned—the legendary divine artifact, the Lotus Lantern.

I wonder if it's possible to use the Lotus Lantern without using any cheats...

Gu Qing believed herself to be kind and benevolent, but she was unclear about the criteria used by the Lotus Lantern.

"boom!"

Inside Nezha's palace, a flame ignited, and Nezha, who had been lying on the ground for a long time, stood up. He reached out and summoned the Fire-Tipped Spear, while the Universe Ring surrounded him and hung in front of him. After his physical body was resurrected, Nezha did not waste a moment. He kicked off the ground, and the Wind-Fire Wheels flew over naturally.

"Nezha, where are you going?"

Yang Chan immediately asked.

Before Yang Chan returned to Mount Hua, Nezha had already been recuperating here. After these few days of recovery, he must have regained his strength before leaving in a hurry.

"I won't tell you!"

Nezha flew over the clouds and said, "I will repay your kindness later!" As he spoke, Nezha headed towards Chen Tang Pass.

"It happened!"

Yang Chan realized what was happening and said, "Nezha is seeking revenge on his father!"

Originally, under pressure from the Heavenly Court, Nezha cut off his bones to return to his father and his flesh to return to his mother, and all his grudges with Li Jing vanished. However, when Nezha was resurrected, Li Jing came to break the spell, and the two became mortal enemies.

Nezha always seeks revenge on his enemies on the same day.

"Don't worry."

Gu Qing took Yang Chan's hand.

In the Investiture of the Gods, Nezha's pursuit of Li Jing was resolved by Manjushri and the Taoist Ran Deng. However, in the Lotus Lantern, it was Yang Chan who mediated with the Lotus Lantern. Now, with Gu Qing's intervention, every moment that delays Li Jing will be a moment more unlucky.

"No, I promised Taiyi Zhenren."

Holding the Lotus Lantern, Yang Chan rose into the air and headed towards Chen Tang Pass.

Gu Qing stood still, silently searching for the whereabouts of Jade Cauldron Immortal. Seeing that Yang Chan had already flown away, he slowly took to the clouds and, relying on his powerful magic, quickly caught up with Yang Chan.

We haven't said goodbye to your mother yet!

Gu Qing slowed Yang Chan down.

Chentang Pass, General's Residence.

At this moment, after General Li Jing ruthlessly "smashed" his son's statue on Mount Hua and returned to Chen Tang Pass, he was like the protagonist of a pseudo-human regret story. Suddenly, he was filled with remorse, holding Nezha's bib and constantly repenting, reminiscing about the past father-son relationship.

"Tell me, isn't it too wicked of me to cut off Nezha's chance to be reborn?"

With tears in his eyes, Li Jing asked the soldiers beside him.

"You are both a god and a ghost," the general's men said, momentarily speechless, and could only remain silent.

"Li Jing, I've come to avenge you!"

Nezha leaped over, and after landing, he held his Fire-Tipped Spear horizontally towards Li Jing and said angrily.

"Nezha, you're alive?" Li Jing's eyes widened in disbelief as he moved closer to Nezha. He hadn't looked closely at Nezha for the past three years, but now, as he examined him closely, he saw that Nezha's eyes were filled with hatred.

He should hate me...

Li Jing was still indulging in self-pity.

"My son..."

Madam Li stepped forward, hugged the little Nezha, and couldn't help but cry.

"Don't pretend to be kind and compassionate, sister-in-law."

Nezha gently comforted Madam Li, and once she calmed down, he pointed his Fire-Tipped Spear and thrust it fiercely at Li Jing.

"Shh!"

Li Jing was, after all, the general of Chentang Pass, and he himself had become a disciple of the immortal Du'e. When Nezha thrust his spear at him, he had to retreat repeatedly, dodging the Fire-Tipped Spear while calling out for his son, hoping that Nezha would show mercy.

Your son is dead!

Nezha coldly said, "I'm here to collect a debt!" As he spoke, the Universe Ring moved forward, scaring Li Jing so much that he turned pale and used a teleportation talisman to leave Chen Tang Pass far away.

With a murderous look on his face and holding the Fire-Tipped Spear, Nezha leaped away to search for Li Jing's whereabouts. A moment later, Nezha's eyes narrowed, and he descended from the sky on his Wind-Fire Wheels, stabbing fiercely at the ground!
In an instant, blood gushed from the earth.

Nezha reached out and lifted Li Jing up from the ground.

"Nezha, Nezha..."

At this moment, Li Jing was greatly alarmed and said, "I know you hate your father. Your father can die, but he cannot die by your hand! Your father was wrong, your father was really wrong!"

In today's world, if a ruthless person who murders his father appears, he will definitely be intolerable to all forces.

"you are wrong?"

Nezha gave a cold snort, twisted the Fire-Tipped Spear in his hand, and flames erupted, immediately scorching Li Jing's internal organs, charring them, and causing Li Jing unbearable pain.

"My son..."

Li Jing felt that he could not withstand the Taoist magic, his expression was sorrowful, and his eyes were full of despair. He never expected that he would die at the hands of his son.

This can be considered an eye for an eye...

"Nezha! Stop it!"

Yang Chan rushed here as fast as she could, but Li Jing was already dead. Yang Chan was at a loss when she saw Li Jing's body.

"Alas, too late."

After landing, Gu Qing said in a nonchalant tone.

Nezha had stabbed Li Jing, but now his murderous intent had completely vanished. Looking at Li Jing's tearful face before his death, he felt a pang of sympathy and reached out to close Li Jing's eyes, allowing him to rest in peace. Then, holding his Fire-Tipped Spear, he looked around and felt a sense of loneliness, as if the world was vast but there was nowhere to go.

In a moment of haste, my home was gone.

"Nezha, this is your father."

Yang Chan had just lost her father, and now seeing Nezha kill her father, her compassion was stirred, and her voice was tinged with sorrow.

"Sister Yang, you can't compare two fathers,"

Nezha said disdainfully, "I would naturally be filial to a father like you, but I would not get entangled with a father like mine!" Nezha's attitude towards Li Jing remained consistent.

"But……"

"There are no 'buts'."

Nezha rode his Wind Fire Wheels and slowly ascended into the sky, heading towards the Golden Light Cave of Qianyuan Mountain. After killing Li Jing, Nezha was unsure how to face Madam Li. Unable to return to Chen Tang Pass, Nezha chose to go back to his master.

"what should we do?"

Yang Chan looked at Gu Qing and asked.

She just came out for a walk, but she didn't expect Nezha to take revenge, causing her to break her promise to Taiyi Zhenren. Yang Chan is now at a loss as to what to do next.

Do you remember why Yang Jiao and Yang Jian went to the underworld?

Gu Qing asked with a smile.

Yang Chan immediately thought of the lotus incarnation, looked at Gu Qing, her eyes filled with joy.

Just when you think you've reached the end of the road, a new path opens up before you!
"Let's go too."

Gu Qing picked up Li Jing's body and said to Yang Chan.

Qianyuan Mountain, Jinguan Cave.

Taiyi Zhenren's face was gloomy as he looked at Nezha, who had made a mistake and acted recklessly. He said angrily, "I have really spoiled you too much. You can even be so cruel to your own father. I'm afraid that in the future, if you are ever dissatisfied, you will turn on your master!"

The plan had changed again and again, and Master Taiyi was somewhat worried.

"Your disciple would never lay a hand on your master!"

Nezha repeatedly assured him, but Taiyi Zhenren didn't want to listen. He quietly watched Nezha, pondering how to punish him.

"As long as my master doesn't kick me out, it's fine."

"Shh..."

The gate to the Golden Light Cave on Qianyuan Mountain opened again. Gu Qing carried Li Jing's body, with Yang Chan following behind.

"You are finally here..."

Taiyi Zhenren looked at Gu Qing, then at Li Jing's corpse, and said, "Not bad, you were able to preserve his soul and bring it back."

Gu Qing nodded and said, "I'm a professional at calling back souls."

After all, Gu Qing possessed the Ghostly Dao, and before the Black and White Impermanence could make a move, Gu Qing had already captured Li Jing's soul.

"You, this... sigh..."

Taiyi Zhenren wanted to say something, but after thinking it over, he finally sighed and said, "If Li Jing were to use this to control the lotus incarnation, I'm afraid the effect wouldn't be that good."

The original plan was for Nezha to use his lotus incarnation, while Li Jing, as the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, would be enshrined as a deity in his physical body. However, due to Gu Qing's interference, Nezha's physical body was not destroyed, but Li Jing lost his life instead.

However, the Investiture of the Gods was a perilous process. Even with his lotus incarnation, how many people could Li Jing, with his shallow strength, possibly defeat?
"This is the only way to revive him."

Gu Qing wasn't buying it and went straight to the point, saying, "Even if he's incompetent, isn't there someone helping him behind the scenes?"

Gu Qing didn't care about the result.

The main reason is that this world is the Lotus Lantern. Gu Qing doesn't know how many gods stood out during the Investiture of the Gods war, but in general, apart from the Jade Emperor and Buddha, who are formidable figures that Gu Qing has to be wary of, everyone else is not taken seriously by Gu Qing, including Yang Jian now.

In the future, even though Yang Jian and Sun Wukong are among the top warriors in the Three Realms in actual combat, they are still no match for Gu Qing.

After all, Gu Qing possessed nine golden crows, and his abilities in all aspects were maxed out.

"it is good!"

After a moment of silence, Taiyi Zhenren said, "Consider it an atonement for my little disciple's sins."

The altar had been repaired. Taiyi Zhenren put Li Jing down, chanted incantations, and transferred Li Jing's soul to his lotus incarnation.

Nezha stood to one side, quietly watching the commotion.
