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

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Xuancang prepared to leave.

Previously, Subhuti, also known as Tongtian Jiaozhu, had instructed Li Xuancang not to reveal Tongtian Jiaozhu's identity in the short term, and similarly, Subhuti's identity should not be revealed either.

Therefore, Li Xuancang would naturally not say that he was a disciple of the Patriarch Subhuti.

Li Jing, the Heavenly King of the Pagoda, felt that he had been humiliated by an ordinary Golden Immortal cultivator.

You must know that Li Jing is the supreme Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King. In the entire prehistoric Three Realms, apart from those top-tier powerful beings, who would dare to speak to Li Jing like that?!

Just as Li Xuancang turned to leave, the exquisite pagoda in Li Jing's hand flew out.

"Hmph! You audacious human!"

"When I, the Heavenly King, inquired about the whole story, you were so evasive."

"That clearly shows there's something wrong with you!"

"In that case, I, the Heavenly King, will take you back to the Heavenly Court!"

It can only be said that after being a high-ranking deity for so long, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King has become increasingly petty and narrow-minded.

Li Xuancang had not expected Li Jing to launch a sudden sneak attack. As the Linglong Pagoda pressed down on him, he hurriedly circulated his magic power, and several magical treasures on his body emitted Shangqing Immortal Light.

Nezha was stunned when he saw this!

Is this some kind of Shangqing Immortal Technique?!

Such pure Shangqing Immortal Techniques must be related to the Jie Sect.

Could it be a lineage passed down by some deity from the Heavenly Court in the primordial world?

Nezha's guess is actually not wrong.

Currently, there are the most Jie Sect immortals in the Heavenly Court, and Li Xuancang's magic power is such pure Shangqing immortal magic, so the first guess is naturally that it is the lineage left behind by some Jie Sect immortal.

Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, also noticed this scene, but after being stunned for a moment, he intensified his suppression of Li Xuancang!

At this moment, Li Jing was also pondering.

I never imagined this kid would be connected to the Jie Sect...

But even if he is related to the Jie Sect, so what?

The Jie Sect has long been destroyed, and a destroyed Jie Sect is not a reason for his arrogance.

Besides, I, Li Jing, am not an immortal of the Jie Sect!

Previously, Guanyin Bodhisattva instructed me that the great calamity of the Journey to the West was about to begin, and asked me to do more for the Western Buddhism in the Heavenly Court.

In that case, Li Xuancang is a good target.

This person has the cultivation level of a late-stage Golden Immortal, and his magical treasures are also quite remarkable. If we can bring him back to the Heavenly Court, and then have Guanyin Bodhisattva intervene, we will surely be able to convert him to the Western Buddhist sect.

Wouldn't that be a great achievement for me, Li Jing?!

All I can say is that Li Jing was indeed a complete scoundrel.

He was the Grand Marshal of the Heavenly Army, but secretly he was helping the Western Buddhist sect.

This is not unusual, because Li Jing later became the disciple of Dipankara Buddha, who is now revered in the West.

Even the exquisite pagoda in his hand was a magical artifact bestowed by the ancient Buddha Dipankara specifically to subdue Nezha.

Therefore, Li Jing had always been scheming and despicable towards the West.

Nezha, standing to the side, really couldn't understand why Li Jing was doing this today.

Why make things difficult for a human?

Thinking that Li Jing hadn't seen through the Shangqing magic power this person was cultivating, Nezha wanted to speak up and remind him.

"Father, this person's magical power..."

"Shut up, Nezha!"

Li Jing interrupted Nezha with a sharp shout.

"This place disrespects the Heavenly Court! And they're even trying to hide their origins; there must be something wrong with them!"

"Why aren't you seizing this fiend and bringing him back to Heaven for punishment?!"

As Li Jing spoke to Nezha, golden light burst forth from the exquisite pagoda, clearly indicating that he was threatening Nezha.

Nezha's expression also turned somewhat unpleasant at this moment.

"Nezha! Aren't you going to make a move?!"

Nezha gritted his teeth, narrowed his eyes, and then pretended to obediently cup his hands towards Li Jing.

"This humble general will take action immediately!"

Nezha, riding on his Wind and Fire Wheels, wearing the Hun Tian Ling (a magical ribbon), and wielding the Fire-Tipped Spear, instantly rushed in front of Li Xuancang.

But secretly he sent a telepathic message to Li Xuancang.

"I'll pretend to fight you in a moment, and we'll engage in close combat, getting away from here. Then I'll feign an opening, and you'd better leave quickly!"

Upon hearing this, a strange light flashed in Li Xuancang's eyes.

My fondness for Nezha skyrocketed in an instant.

"Many thanks to the Great God of the Three Altars and Seas!"

Nezha swept his spear across, but Li Xuancang blocked it with his sword. Then he transmitted his voice again.

"No need for further words. I, Nezha, was once a human being myself. Now that you have stood up for the human race, I, Nezha, will naturally protect you!"

"However, Li Jing is a very petty person, so you should be careful when you travel in the prehistoric world in the future."

"Originally, he probably just wanted to suppress your arrogance, but after seeing you make a move, he wanted to take you down. This must be related to the Shangqing magic you used."

"Li Jing, that scoundrel, is outwardly a Heavenly King of the Heavenly Court, but in reality he is a Buddhist and is very close to Guanyin Bodhisattva, also known as Cihang Daoren."

"The fact that they are determined to attack you is probably related to the Shangqing magic you used."

Nezha not only agreed to cooperate with Li Xuancang to leave this place, but also revealed his own guesses.

Upon hearing this, Li Xuancang nodded to himself.

Nezha's guess is probably pretty accurate.

Now that the great calamity of the Journey to the West has begun, the Western Buddhist sects naturally want to gain more benefits from the Eastern Xuanmen sects.

With his cultivation at the late stage of the Golden Immortal realm and his collection of top-tier magical treasures, if Li Jing had received instructions from Guanyin Bodhisattva, he would most likely want to guide him to the Western Paradise.

"Thank you so much for informing me, Great Master San Tan Hai Hui! I understand now!"

Thus, while Li Xuancang and Nezha were fighting, the two of them also moved far away from where Li Jing was.

Immediately afterward, the Azure Sky Demon-Slaying Sword in Li Xuancang's hand rang out, and Nezha also took the opportunity to create an opening, pausing for a moment with his Fire-Tipped Spear.

Upon seeing this, Li Xuancang immediately made a hand seal and used the Rainbow Transformation Technique to escape from the place!

Seeing Li Xuancang leave, Nezha's face remained expressionless, but Li Jing's expression in the distance was rather unpleasant.

"Hmph! Nezha! I, the Heavenly King, ordered you to capture this man, yet you let him escape. Do you know your crime?!"

Nezha turned his head and looked at the exquisite pagoda in Li Jing's hand, then slightly bowed.

"Father, I underestimated Li Xuancang. His magical treasures are quite remarkable. I was momentarily distracted and he managed to escape."

Li Jing couldn't say much about this, and could only snort coldly.

Because Nezha just said that he was momentarily distracted...

In the end, Li Jing had no choice but to withdraw his troops and return to the Heavenly Court, but he thought to himself that he must tell Guanyin Bodhisattva about what had happened that day after he returned to the Heavenly Court.

Now that the Great Tribulation of Journey to the West has begun, a late-stage Golden Immortal who cultivates the power of Shangqing has appeared in the prehistoric world.

Could it be that some immortal from the Jie Sect is restless and wants to cause trouble during the Great Tribulation?

Li Xuancang fled all the way until he reached the territory of Xiniu Hezhou before stopping.

Gazing at the vast sky, Li Xuancang gripped the hilt of the sword at his waist and let his cloak billow behind him.

"Li Jing! I've remembered what happened today!!!"

However, at that moment, the voice of Patriarch Subhuti rang in Li Xuancang's ears...

"Stop showing off and come back here!"
