Rebirth of Nezha in the Investiture of the Gods

"Greetings, Master Yun Xiao!"

Lei Zhenzi and the others saw the Primordial Golden Bowl being effortlessly taken by this white-robed woman and quickly deduced her identity.

"No need for formalities. Follow me back to the island!"

Yun Xiao smiled lightly, flicking her finger. Before the Store Manager could utter another word, he was instantly silenced.

The powers of a Quasi-Saint were unfathomable, leaving the young ones below wide-eyed with awe.

Knocking on fate's door, knocking off one's fate.

With a wave of her hand, Yun Xiao conjured a portal before stepping through it first. Lei Zhenzi and the others quickly followed.

As soon as they arrived on the island, little Zhu Xiong began looking around anxiously. When he noticed that Bixiao wasn't present, he exhaled in relief.

He still remembered Bixiao's earlier words, where she threatened to pair him with the rabbits on the Three Immortals Island. The terror of Bixiao's formidable aura was something he could never forget.

"I am somewhat aware of your actions along the way," Yun Xiao said, seated gracefully on a cloud bed. She smiled at the youngsters in front of her, offering subtle guidance rather than explicit reprimand. How much they could comprehend would depend on their own insights.

"Master Yun Xiao, are you trying to tell us that everything exists for a reason? Even the pirates' existence must have some underlying cause. By eliminating them, we neglected the potential causes and effects behind their actions!"

"Even if their existence isn't necessarily reasonable, acting rashly without consideration will undoubtedly lead to suffering!"

Among the three, Lei Zhenzi was the most mature, and his deductions came closest to Yun Xiao's intended lesson. Hearing him, Yun Xiao nodded repeatedly in approval.

"Perhaps their existence is reasonable, but if one's strength is sufficient, then naturally, there's nothing to fear!"

The little Heavenly Silkworm scoffed arrogantly, believing that strength was the ultimate foundation of everything—and she wasn't wrong.

"Why bother overanalyzing? If the sky falls, the taller ones will hold it up!"

Little Zhu Xiong shrugged nonchalantly. He didn't care about the complexities; there were plenty of others stronger than him. His role was to eat, cheer, and lastly, drink celebratory wine. Yun Xiao could only shake her head helplessly at him.

Yet, it must be said that Zhu Xiong's carefree, heartless nature was perhaps the most ideal mindset for cultivation. With no attachments, there were no fears.

"I don't understand!"

Tiger Fool was even more straightforward. Whatever those above him were discussing, he didn't get a single word—and he didn't bother pretending to understand.

"Lei Zhenzi, you stay here. Your array formation talent is extraordinary, so I intend to personally guide you for a while. As for the other three of you, return to the North Sea and report to Nephew Mingzhu everything that happened on the way. Do not cause any more trouble!"

Yun Xiao smiled, with a wave of her hand sending the little Heavenly Silkworm, little Zhu Xiong, and Tiger Fool out of the Three Immortals Island.

She kept Lei Zhenzi behind because Li Mingzhu had previously mentioned his remarkable talent in array formations. Additionally, Lei Zhenzi's earlier words further delighted Yun Xiao upon realizing his potential.

Good seedlings were hard to come by these days, especially someone with both comprehension and talent in formations like Lei Zhenzi. If it weren't for Lei Zhenzi being under Li Mingzhu, Yun Xiao might have considered taking him as her disciple herself. However, she believed that with her brief guidance, his future achievements wouldn't fall short of Li Mingzhu's.

Yun Xiao had absolute confidence in her array formation mastery.

As for the little Heavenly Silkworm, little Zhu Xiong, and Tiger Fool, who found themselves outside the island, they took no offense and immediately hurried back to the North Sea.

Unlike before, they were much more obedient now. Without Lei Zhenzi's protective arrays or strategic planning, the three dared not stir up trouble.

Upon safely returning to the North Sea, the trio promptly met with Li Mingzhu and recounted every detail of their journey.

"To the East Sea!"

Looking at the three, Li Mingzhu smiled and announced. It seemed that Master Yun Xiao had already anticipated his next move!

Otherwise, why else would she leave that ancestor of the East Wind to him? Yet even if his plans were foreseen, it didn't matter. He intended to make a grand spectacle of it anyway. Otherwise, how could he propel the little Heavenly Silkworm to Gouchen's Position?

"Huh?"

Hearing Li Mingzhu's words, the three were stunned. Why go to the East Sea?

"What do you mean 'huh'? Of course, we'll be seeking justice. Isn't there still the ancestor of the East Wind? Besides, it's high time the scattered cultivators of the East Sea were reorganized!"

Li Mingzhu sneered. Those so-called loose cultivators of the East Sea were, in reality, remnants of the Demon Clan from the era of the Great Battle between Deities and Demons.

Though disorganized and seemingly insignificant, if united, they would become a force that could not be ignored.

Li Mingzhu had been observing them for a long time. Previously, due to insufficient strength and lack of a good excuse, he held back. Now, with all conditions met, it was time to act.

"Fu Yao!"

At Li Mingzhu's call, Fu Yao promptly entered his courtyard. Even though Li Mingzhu's cultivation wasn't yet higher than Fu Yao's, the latter dared not defy him.

Having comprehended the domineering will of the unrivaled Ghost Car Dominator Spear, Li Mingzhu now exuded an ever-increasing sense of authority.

This aura of superiority, known as presence, had grown stronger over time. Standing firm in the North Sea now, Li Mingzhu's momentum was unstoppable!

"What is it now?"

While Fu Yao didn't dare disobey Li Mingzhu, it was still impossible for him to be completely subservient.

"Just follow along. Why so many questions?"

Li Mingzhu chuckled, ignoring Fu Yao's increasingly displeased expression as he led the way out of the Marquis Mansion, heading toward the East Sea.

"What's going on?"

Trailing behind, Fu Yao directed his question to little Zhu Xiong and the Heavenly Silkworm, deliberately ignoring Tiger Fool, who he assumed wouldn't know anything useful.

"No idea!"

Little Zhu Xiong rolled his eyes at Fu Yao without elaborating. True to his nature, he refused to say a word.

As for the Heavenly Silkworm, she didn't even bother acknowledging Fu Yao. Why should she explain anything to him?

However, along the way, Li Mingzhu eventually explained everything to Fu Yao. Settling the karma with the ancestor of the East Wind was merely an excuse; the true objective was to unite the scattered cultivators and remnants of the demon race in the East Sea.

Fu Yao wholeheartedly supported this plan. It was undoubtedly a clever move—starting with the East Sea and using it as a foothold to rally the demon race across the land!

In just three days, Li Mingzhu brought Fu Yao and the others to the East Sea.

Qingxuan Island!

East Wind Ancestor's cave mansion was located on Qingxuan Island. Among the many grotto-heavens in the East Sea, it was considered a relatively exceptional Cave Heaven Blessed Land.

Now, Li Mingzhu and his group stood outside Qingxuan Island. It wasn't surprising that the East Wind Ancestor hadn't relocated; even if he had attempted to hide, he couldn't evade Li Mingzhu's calculations!
