After guarding the gates for a hundred years, I drove the Heavenly Saint to madness.

Chapter 229 The Reincarnated Body No One Dares to Take In

Jiepai Pass, the main hall of the General's Mansion.

The teleportation array emitted a bright light, and the spatial power fluctuated violently.

Xiao Wuji and Bixiao stood side by side in the formation, about to cross the boundary to the Netherworld.

Just as the formation was about to be fully activated, a jade talisman at Bixiao's waist suddenly emitted a dazzling light.

Bixiao probed with her divine sense and was surprised. She quickly waved her hand to interrupt the operation of the formation.

"Wuji, wait!"

Bixiao put away the jade talisman and turned to look at Xiao Wuji: "This is the message that my eldest sister just sent."

"They are already carrying the reincarnation of our master and are rushing towards our Jiepai Pass at top speed through the earth vein formation!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wuji released a spell from his fingertips, and the clear light of the teleportation array beneath his feet slowly faded away.

"Since Master and the others have already set off, then we will not make this trip." Xiao Wuji flicked his sleeves and stepped down from the array platform, his expression returning to its usual composure.

"Go outside to prepare tea, and we'll wait here for Master and Grandmaster to arrive."

In fact, Yunxiao had already personally gone to the shores of the East Sea to secretly bring back the reincarnation of the Tongtian Sect Leader to the Underworld.

However, at that time, the Fengdu Imperial Palace was filled with an extremely strange and troublesome atmosphere.

In the center of the hall.

A child of about four or five years old was timidly hiding behind a thick obsidian dragon pillar.

He was dressed in a brocade jacket commonly seen in ordinary wealthy families, and his exquisitely beautiful face was filled with helplessness and fear.

The child clung tightly to the stone pillar, his big eyes anxiously scanning his surroundings.

This place is terrifying; everything is dark and gloomy, and there's a howling wind outside.

What frightened him even more was the group of strange adults in front of him.

In front of the child.

Duobao Daoren, Jinling Shengmu, Wudang Shengmu, Guiling Shengmu, and Yunxiao, along with other top experts from the core of the Jie Sect, were all gathered in a semi-circle.

These powerful beings, who usually awe the world, now all restrained their magical power fluctuations and didn't even dare to breathe loudly.

They forced what they thought were the most amiable smiles onto their faces, holding various innate spiritual fruits that emitted a strange fragrance in their hands.

"Come, good child. Don't be afraid, have some fruit."

The Taoist priest, with his plump body bent over, offered a peach, his voice so soft as if afraid of disturbing the gentle breeze.

Looking at Duobao's chubby face, the child not only didn't dare to take the fruit, but was so frightened that he shrank back behind the pillar, his eyes even filled with tears.

"Who are you? I want to go home, I want to find my mother!"

A child's innocent voice, tinged with tears, echoed in the main hall.

Hearing this voice filled with wariness and fear, the immortals of the Jie Sect looked at each other, their faces all bearing a deep, bitter smile.

This child is the reincarnation of the Tongtian Sect Leader, whom they have been searching for for five whole years with all the strength of their sect!

Although his appearance has drastically changed, transforming him into a mortal body, the innate, sharp sword-like quality between his brows, and the purest Shangqing aura deep within his true spirit, are absolutely genuine.

However, even sages who enter the cycle of reincarnation cannot escape the mystery of the womb as ordained by the will of Heaven.

The once unyielding and peerless swordsman has now lost all his memories.

He was truly just an ignorant child, unaware of the disciples who had accompanied him through countless years, and instinctively fearful of the solemn Netherworld.

"well----"

Daoist Duobao straightened up, took back the spiritual fruit, and let out a long sigh.

He turned his head and looked at Yunxiao and the Holy Mother of Wudang, his eyes filled with sorrow.

"Although Master has been found and safely brought to this base camp, if the mystery of his birth is not solved, he will forever remain a mortal, and after a hundred years, he will experience birth, aging, sickness and death, and enter the cycle of reincarnation again."

Daoist Duobao frowned and revealed the most fatal dead end at hand.

"To unravel the mysteries of the womb and awaken one's true spirit and innate wisdom, one must embark on the path of spiritual cultivation anew."

"For ordinary people to enter the Dao, they must have a great master as their guide, which is to say, they become disciples."

This statement came out.

The immortals of the Jie Sect inside the main hall fell into a deathly silence.

Becoming an apprentice?

Find a master for the Tongtian Sect Leader?

"How could this possibly work!"

The Golden Spirit Mother looked troubled and shook her head repeatedly: "This is my master!"

"Looking across the entire primordial world, apart from that Dao Ancestor of Zixiao Palace, who else has the qualifications to take a master as a disciple?"

Everyone agreed wholeheartedly.

The bond between master and disciple is one of the most profound connections in the primordial world.

Although the Tongtian Sect Leader was reincarnated, his authentic Pangu destiny and foundation still remain.

If an ordinary immortal dared to presumptuously accept him as a disciple, he would probably be crushed to death by the terrifying karmic consequences of the Heavenly Dao the moment he received the grand ceremony of becoming a disciple!

Even if they were direct disciples of the Jie Sect, they wouldn't dare to overstep such ethical boundaries and become the master's teacher.

However, without taking a master and entering the Dao, the Tongtian Sect Leader could not rebuild his cultivation. This created a vicious cycle with no solution.

As for Hongjun Daozu of Zixiao Palace?

That's even more impossible.

Tongtian had already made a solemn vow in the chaos, severing all ties with the Xuanmen sect. As the embodiment of the Heavenly Dao, Hongjun had no chance of coming to take him back.

"This won't work, that won't work. Are we just supposed to watch our master live as a mortal for the rest of his life?"

'

Qiongxiao, who remained in the underworld, was so anxious that she stomped her feet, her face full of frustration.

Just when the immortals were at their wits' end, trapped by these inflexible rules,

Behind the main hall, the beaded curtain was lifted.

Lady Pingxin, dressed in plain white, slowly walked out. She glanced gently at the child hiding behind the pillar, then turned to the Jie Sect immortals, whose faces were full of confusion.

"Why should you be bound by the primordial laws of this world?"

A faint smile appeared on Empress Pingxin's lips, her words awakening the dreamer from her reverie.

"Since the beginning of this great calamity, how many ironclad rules have you broken?" Empress Pingxin's voice was calm, yet it carried a guiding tone.

"Faced with such an unsolvable deadlock, why not go to Jiepai Pass and ask Fellow Daoist Xiao Wuji for advice?"

Upon hearing the name Xiao Wuji, all the immortals in the hall were stunned, and then their eyes flashed with dazzling light.

Yes!

Empress Pingxin continued, "Young friend Xiao is exceptionally intelligent and never acts in an unconventional way."

"Whether it's the City God repairing the tunnels or the Book of Life and Death clashing with the Investiture of the Gods, he can always accurately find the crack to break the deadlock in what seems like a hopeless situation."

"Although this matter involves the karma of a sage, it is extremely difficult. But perhaps he has a completely different way to break the deadlock."

The gloom in Yunxiao's eyes vanished instantly.

Concern leads to confusion. Their minds were preoccupied with ancient, traditional hierarchical ethics, forgetting that a unique individual, adept at breaking conventions, was stationed at Jiepai Pass.

"Your Majesty is absolutely right!"

Yunxiao made a decisive decision without any further hesitation. She immediately sent a telepathic message to Bixiao, who was at Jiepai Pass.

Then, with a flick of his sleeve, he led this special reincarnated being onto the interdimensional teleportation array in a grand manner.
