Chapter 556: Chapter 556
Now, if we don't take care of it, it will likely become a hole even more terrifying than the Returning Ruins in the future.
This pit clearly cannot be dealt with even if Zhunti and Jieyin advance to the Quasi-Saint stage; only Nezha can handle it himself. As he arrived at the edge of the pit, he felt the intense chaotic aura, which even neutralized the power of the Primordial Heavenly Dao, making it weak.
Nezha had seen more than one Chaos Demon God, so he wasn't scared at all. He leapt straight in, while Zhunti and Jieyin, standing at the edge, marveled, "See, this is what great virtue and courage look like, unyielding and fearless!"
As Nezha delved deep into the pit, he had already made some estimates about the situation below. Yet, he underestimated the destruction caused by the great experts, where not only are various Dao Marks intertwined, but something extraordinary happened due to the presence of Chaotic Spiritual Energy, forming something akin to an array.
If you can't wear it down completely in a short time, it will soon recover under the Chaotic Spiritual Energy, even turning the Dao Marks left by Nezha into nourishment, becoming stronger.
Nezha checked carefully, and the bottom, where the opening connected to the Chaos, was clean with no invasion of Chaos Creatures. Nezha estimated that any Chaos Creatures that came in were exterminated by the chaotic laws, which was at least one piece of good news.
After thinking it over, Nezha concluded that the only way to repair this gap was by first destroying it to rebuild. Repairing based on the current hole held no hope, as the Dao Marks on the surface would erase any materials added later. Thus, the only way was to destroy it entirely, even if it means expanding the hole again.
Feeling the chaotic aura here, Nezha noticed that it's already connected with the Chaos, rendering the power of the Primordial Heavenly Dao completely uncontrollable, easing his concerns. At this point, he could finally use treasures that were previously unusable.
He first returned to the Primordial realm and instructed Jieyin and Zhunti: "Dao Brothers, the situation below is complex. If we wish to repair it, we must destroy it before rebuilding. Shortly, I will go down to clear it. Please, Dao Brothers, act as protectors."
Jieyin and Zhunti had no technical skills in this area, but they thought, "Whatever you say, just do it. Anyway, the Western Land is already in such a state."
The two nodded, "Good."
So Nezha descended again, confirming the absence of the force of the Heavenly Dao, and took out the Pangu Banner, waving it towards the surrounding pit walls. Huge waves of Chaotic Sword Energy hit the walls, triggering dense Dao Marks resistance, but under the destructive power of the Pangu Banner, they were immediately cleared away.
Were you personally here, you might talk reason with the Pangu Banner. These remaining Dao Marks, however, didn't have the right to converse with it.
Nezha wielded the Pangu Banner like a frenzy demon, swinging it wildly and slashing every part of the pit walls. Above, Jieyin and Zhunti felt the whole Western Land tremor and shake.
His small disciples were so startled, they lay down on the ground, fearfully asking, "Master, Second Master, is the Western Land about to collapse? Should we leave quickly?"
Zhunti and Jieyin had no idea how Nezha was 'clearing' the area below, but they would never show fear in front of their disciples.
"Your fear is because your heart is not still enough. Open your heart, let go of your worries, and naturally, you will not be disturbed by the outside world."
The little disciple was full of questions. Is that really the case? But seeing his two masters sitting there calmly, he could only imitate them, thinking that his own cultivation was still too weak.
Nezha was down below, crazily dismantling with the Pangu Banner. Never had he felt so satisfied. Previously, when he was repairing, he had to be extremely careful, not daring to make any mistakes. Now, causing destruction required only mad force, and the satisfaction comparison was immensely strong. The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the novel·fire.net
Though using the Pangu Banner was a bit strenuous for Nezha, after over thirty rounds of recovery, he finally cleared the entire inner wall of the pit. In the process, Nezha even had some unexpected gains.
These include a small section of the God Slaying Spear's shaft and a limp-looking, barren willow branch—both fairly intact. The rest were some miscellaneous fragments, but since they survived under the Pangu Banner, Nezha didn't mind and planned to take them back for study.
After finishing the clearing, Nezha calculated the time, realizing it was almost time for the second lecture, so he got up and returned to the pit's edge. As for what to do with the cleared big pit?
He took out his Ruyi Stick, pointing it at the big hole.
The Ruyi Stick, shimmering with golden light, rapidly enlarged and stretched into the hole under the eyes of Zhunti and others. As Nezha pronounced grow louder and louder, it swiftly expanded and thickened, finally jamming the big hole with a snap.
Ruyi Stick's ability to block the big hole wasn't due to any special material, but because of the merit it accumulated while serving Nezha as a measuring tool. Directly blocking it wouldn't work, but now it could handle it for ten thousand to eight thousand years without issue.
Zhunti clearly didn't expect Nezha to come up with such a method. He went around the Ruyi Stick twice, then touched it.
He truly liked it more and more—the golden shimmer was wonderful!
It can grow; it can shrink—how great!
What man can resist a rod that's long and straight?
Seeing Zhunti's eyes, like Cao Cao's eyes on a married woman, Nezha felt uneasy and immediately said, "The second lecture is approaching, let's quickly go to the Zixiao Palace!"
Zhunti knew the importance of the second lecture at Zixiao Palace, and the three of them didn't hesitate much and set off immediately. This time, somehow, the trip seemed much easier compared to the first, as if they had tapped into Nezha's Qi Fortune, moving them to tears.
Nezha, Daoist Friend, truly good-hearted!
Upon reaching the Zixiao Palace again, the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, Di Jun, Taiyi, and others were already present. Nezha greeted them all and scanned the place, spotting Kunpeng huddled in a corner.
Upon seeing this, Nezha rudely berated, "You wretched bird, the Daoist Ancestor's seat was personally arranged; there's no place for you in Zixiao Palace. How dare you come here?"
Kunpeng, who had been trying his best to hide in the back, couldn't maintain his composure. After being so humiliated, would he endure, or retaliate?
Nezha's moral boundaries were flexible, adjusting his attitude towards others based on their relationship with him. Since he and Kunpeng now stood in opposition, why be courteous?
He cracked his knuckles and gradually approached Kunpeng, who knew very well he couldn't compete with Nezha inside the Zixiao Palace at all. Instinctively, he shouted, "Don't come over here!"
At the same time, he quickly assumed a defensive posture, but before he knew it, Nezha delivered a flying kick to his chest. Kunpeng was momentarily stunned; instead of fighting with fists, why resort to flying kicks?
However, Kunpeng had come prepared with countermeasures and flipped over to cling to a Zixiao Palace pillar, showing no intention of letting go, thwarting Nezha's attempt to kick him out again.
Yet Kunpeng still had to pay the price!
Nezha took out a whip made from dragon sinew and gave Kunpeng a thorough whipping against the pillar. Though Kunpeng had a ridiculously thick health bar, in plain view of everyone, his dignity was utterly shattered.
As Nezha whipped, he continued to mentally berate Kunpeng.
"Didn't I say before to reflect on your own problems more when things happen? Now being mercilessly whipped by me, have you reflected at all?"
"You little bastard, you ***"
Nezha whipped Kunpeng across the face.
Words may sometimes lack force, but a whip never does!
As time passed, immortals gradually arrived at the Zixiao Palace, watching the performance between the two of them habitual by this point. Nezha chastising Kunpeng had become a customary event before the lectures at Zixiao Palace.
Kunpeng indeed was ruthless, harsh to both others and himself. After having been taken by surprise the first time, though suffering such humiliation by Nezha the second time, he still showed no intentions of leaving.
But Nezha barely cared, as Kunpeng hadn't even reached the Quasi-Saint stage yet, and the second lecture was supposedly about cultivation at the Quasi-Saint Stage and the Method of Becoming a Saint.
For those present, in certain aspects, the content was even more important than the third lecture. Given Kunpeng's current level and his absence from the first session, comprehending it was out of the question for him.
