Journey to the West Arrives: Start by becoming an apprentice of the Tongtian Sect Leader!

Tens of thousands of heavenly soldiers and generals stood in formation above the clouds.

The leader was dressed in jeweled armor and held a pagoda in his hand, looking exceptionally heroic and extraordinary.

Beside him stood a young general, riding on Wind and Fire Wheels, wielding a Fire-Tipped Spear, and wearing a Hun Tian Ling (a type of sash). His eyes kept glancing at the pagoda held by the leader.

Seeing the two people with such distinct features, Li Xuancang immediately had a guess in his mind.

This must be Li Jing, the Grand Marshal of the Heavenly Army, and Nezha, the Third Prince, the Great God of the Three Altars and Seas...

Li Xuancang didn't make any move for a moment, but instead gazed at the heavenly soldiers and generals in the void.

Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, frowned slightly.

Although Li Jing was once a human, he is now the high-ranking Grand Marshal of the Heavenly Army, a Heavenly King, and a Taiyi Golden Immortal.

In the past, whenever Li Jing entered the prehistoric world, every creature in the prehistoric world who saw Li Jing would rush to pay homage.

But today I encountered a guy who treated the heavenly soldiers and generals of the Heavenly Court as nothing...

This made the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King unhappy for a moment.

Nezha, who was standing to the side, first observed Li Xuancang's location, and then looked at the pagoda in Li Jing's hand and spoke.

"Father, His Majesty has ordered us to gather heavenly soldiers and generals to subdue demons and monsters."

"But now it seems that the demon has been eliminated."

"May we return to Heaven?"

While Nezha was speaking, he kept looking at the exquisite pagoda in Li Jing's hand, something Li Jing was already used to.

He's just a rebellious son. As long as the Linglong Pagoda is still in our hands, this rebellious son will have to obey us!

Upon hearing these words, Li Jing snorted coldly.

"snort!"

"That evil dragon has violated the heavenly rules and regulations, so I, the Heavenly King, must naturally escort it to the Demon-Slaying Platform and punish it according to the law."

"I wonder where this human came from. I never expected him to have the cultivation of a late-stage Golden Immortal."

"But that monstrous dragon was at the mid-stage of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, while this human was only at the late-stage Golden Immortal realm. How could he possibly kill the monstrous dragon?"

"There seems to be something fishy about this. Summon this human here, and I, the Heavenly King, will question him personally!"

"Nezha, go and bring this human to see me, the Heavenly King."

Nezha was somewhat reluctant. His group had come to subdue demons and monsters, and now that the demons and monsters had been eliminated, Li Jing just had to cause trouble.

Seeing the exquisite pagoda in Li Jing's hand, Nezha could only helplessly fly down from the clouds and head towards Li Xuancang's location.

Upon seeing Nezha approaching him, Li Xuancang bowed slightly.

"Human cultivator Li Xuancang greets the Immortal."

I can't fathom Nezha's cultivation level. Judging from his aura, he's probably not a Taiyi Golden Immortal, but more likely a Daluo Golden Immortal.

When Nezha arrived in front of Li Xuancang, he also bowed slightly.

"I am Nezha, the Great God of the Three Altars and Sea Assembly in Heaven."

"I have been ordered by the Jade Emperor to descend to the mortal realm to subdue demons and eliminate evil, but I never expected that the evil demons would have already been eliminated."

"Fellow Daoist, your ability to slay the Taiyi Golden Immortal evil dragon while only at the Golden Immortal realm demonstrates your remarkable skills!"

"However, we are acting on the Jade Emperor's orders, so please come with me to explain the situation to Li Tianwang."

Nezha was quite polite to Li Xuancang, which was normal, since Nezha was also a human before, and he also liked people who could fight.

Now, Li Xuancang, at the Golden Immortal level, has killed a Taiyi Golden Immortal. Moreover, they are both human. Although Li Xuancang's realm is not as high as Nezha's, it is enough for Nezha to treat him with respect.

Upon hearing these words, Li Xuancang cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards Nezha.

"Since the Great God of the Three Altars and Seas has already said so, I will naturally go with the Great God to explain the whole story to the Heavenly King."

Led by Nezha, Li Xuancang arrived above the clouds, where he saw not only countless heavenly soldiers and generals, but also Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, who was at the head of the group.

However, Li Jing's expression made Li Xuancang somewhat uncomfortable...

He had an air of superiority, looking down on all living beings, and his eyes held a hint of contempt as he looked at Li Xuancang, as if he were looking at some ant.

Nezha frowned slightly and began to introduce Li Xuancang.

"Li Xuancang, this is Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King of Heaven."

Li Jing acted arrogantly, so Li Xuancang naturally didn't give him a friendly look, simply cupping his hands in a casual gesture.

"Li Xuancang of the Human Race greets Heavenly King Li. May I ask why Heavenly King Li has summoned me here?"

Seeing Li Xuancang's perfunctory attitude, Li Jing immediately snorted coldly.

"snort!"

"This Heavenly King is ordered by the Jade Emperor to descend to the mortal realm to subdue demons and monsters."

"Upon arriving at this place, it appears that the demon has already been slain by you."

"I, the Heavenly King, observe that you are merely at the late stage of the Golden Immortal realm, while that demonic dragon was at the mid-stage of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm. How could you possibly have the means to kill a demonic dragon at the Taiyi Golden Immortal level?"

"Tell me the whole story from beginning to end!"

Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, spoke in a tone as if interrogating a prisoner, which made Li Xuancang increasingly displeased. Nezha, who was standing to the side, also hurriedly spoke up, looking at the exquisite pagoda in Li Jing's hand.

"Father, Li Xuancang is not a criminal of our Heavenly Court. He actually did a good job for the Heavenly Court by slaying the demonic dragon that violated the Heavenly Rules and Regulations."

Why are you interrogating me like a criminal?

As soon as Nezha spoke, Li Jing snorted coldly again.

"Hmph! Nezha, you have no right to speak here. This Heavenly King is asking about the situation; it's not your place to interrupt!"

As he spoke, Li Jing raised the exquisite pagoda in his hand by two inches. Seeing this, Nezha gritted his teeth inwardly.

At this moment, Li Xuancang also realized that the father-son relationship between Li Jing and Nezha seemed to be somewhat subtle.

Could it be that many myths and legends are true?

Nezha wanted to kill Li Jing, but he was afraid of the exquisite pagoda in Li Jing's hand.

Just as Li Xuancang was thinking about this, Li Jing spoke to him again.

"Hurry up and tell us the whole story!"

Seeing Li Jing's attitude, Li Xuancang disliked Li Jing even more.

You, Li Jing, were once a human being. You became a god and the Heavenly King of Heaven, but you've forgotten your roots, haven't you?

"I was merely passing through when I encountered a demonic dragon causing trouble, so I simply slew it. Does subduing demons violate the laws of heaven?"

"I'm a little confused. Is King Li treating me like a prisoner of Heaven?!"

Upon hearing this, Li Jing's brows furrowed instantly.

You know, it's been so many years since anyone has treated Li Jing like this. Since you're disrespectful to me, then I'll make things difficult for you!

"Oh? You make it sound so casual?!"

"If that's the case, who was your master, what techniques did you practice, and what supernatural powers did you use to slay this demonic dragon?!"

Seeing that Li Jing seemed to really regard him as a criminal, Li Xuancang immediately snorted coldly.

"Hmph, Heavenly King, your question is a bit too much."

"How can one easily reveal the cultivation techniques and supernatural powers one has practiced?"

"If the Heavenly King wishes to inquire about these matters, then I'm sorry, but I cannot provide any information!"

"I am not a prisoner of Heaven, nor have I violated any Heavenly rules or regulations. If Your Majesty has nothing else to say, I am in a hurry and will take my leave first!"
