Watching Nezha, the story of Nezha's suicide in the Investiture of the Gods brought tears to my

...

"The great war of the gods is imminent; this meeting must be held to discuss preparations for war," the Immortal Elder Wuliang stated, clarifying the meeting's theme.

The burly Guang Chengzi, arms crossed, declared arrogantly, "The Chan Sect is the orthodox lineage of Taoism; victory in this battle is assured!"

The slender Chi Jingzi said, "But the Jie Sect has risen rapidly in recent years, so we must be wary."

[Ju Liusun, whose appearance was somewhat lewd, sneered: "The Jie Sect? They're all people with fur and horns, born from eggs and moisture!"]

...

Upon hearing Julusun's frivolous words, all the disciples of the Jie Sect were furious.

Their eyes were wide open, burning with anger, and they were extremely dissatisfied with this.

"Our Jie Sect accepts disciples widely, without being bound by any conventions. What wrong have we done?"

"It is outrageous for Sun to slander our Jie Sect like this!"

"Our Jie Sect and the Chan Sect have no deep-seated grudges, so why are you targeting our Jie Sect like this!"

The disciples of the Jie Sect were filled with righteous indignation, determined to seek justice for the sect's reputation. Their anger seemed to engulf Julusun in the sky.

The world of Investiture of the Gods, the Three Immortal Islands.

Qiongxiao and Bixiao were enraged when they saw that Sun Liku was mocking the Jie Sect in this way.

Qiongxiao's eyebrows shot up, and she shouted, "That damned Juli Sun! How dare he mock our Jie Sect for not being human! We must teach this guy a lesson!"

Bixiao, her face also filled with anger, chimed in, "Yes, we can't let him off so easily!"

The two were furious and were preparing to take their magical weapons to the Chan Sect to settle scores with Julusun.

Yunxiao scolded the two, "Don't fall for their provocation. Master said that as long as we stay in the cave and don't go down the mountain, we can escape this great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods."

As the eldest sister, Yunxiao easily stopped the two of them.

However, Qiongxiao and Bixiao were not about to swallow this insult; the anger in their hearts still burned fiercely.

The disciples of the Jie Sect will not rest until they have dealt with Juliusun!

...

The world of Journey to the West, Mount Ling.

When the Buddhas saw the magnificent scene of the Twelve Golden Immortals gathered together, their gazes involuntarily fell on the four Bodhisattvas: Kuru-sun Buddha, Guanyin, Manjushri, and Samantabhadra.

Seeing the Twelve Golden Immortals gathered together, discussing the great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods, the four Bodhisattvas were filled with many thoughts.

Their eyes revealed a complex expression, as memories of the past flooded back.

Once upon a time, the twelve Golden Immortals were together, and how lively and extraordinary they were! They discussed scriptures and doctrines, living a carefree and leisurely life.

The immortals of the Chan Sect all looked down on the Jie Sect.

They mocked the Jie Sect for its indiscriminate teaching, claiming that all monsters cultivated into human form.

But now things have changed. The four of them have joined the Buddhist order and embarked on different paths from their former fellow disciples.

The various changes that occurred during this period filled them with mixed emotions, including nostalgia for the past and a firm commitment to their current choices.

“Back then I looked down on those hairy and horned people of the Jie Sect, and I still look down on them now!” Julusun Buddha said with a smile.

"Some insignificant demons dare to compare themselves to us?" Guanyin held up her jade bottle in one hand and made a hand seal with the other.

During the great war of the Investiture of the Gods, Manjushri, Samantabhadra, and Cihang even subdued the monsters of the Jie Sect as their mounts!

The Jie Sect has long since declined, and the status of the demon race has become increasingly low.

They also became increasingly contemptuous of the demon race.

...

In the primordial world, there was a celestial court for the demon race.

Donghuang Taiyi snorted coldly, his eyes wide with anger, and shouted, "I am also a demon, and Nuwa is also a demon! How can you Chan Sect fellows be so unreasonable!"

He originally thought it was the decline of the dragon race, but he didn't expect it to be the decline of the demon race.

"If I were here, how could the demon race have fallen to such a state! Let you mock me as you please!"

He exuded an imposing aura, radiating boundless majesty and fury.

The demon race once dominated the world under his rule, but now they are so despised by the Chan Sect. This makes Donghuang Taiyi's anger burn fiercely, and he is filled with grief and resentment about the current situation of the demon race.

...

"This battle concerns the rise and fall of our sect; we must not be careless. Strengthening our sect's power is the fundamental solution," said Master Huanglong.

"That's exactly right, which is why I began preparations long ago!" The Boundless Immortal Elder stretched out his cane, which transformed into tree roots that spread out, supporting a plate of countless immortal pills!

"An elixir of immortality?!" The immortals exclaimed in delight.

"There are nine thousand pills in total. They will be distributed to all disciples according to their rank." The Boundless Immortal Elder planned to distribute all the elixirs.

"Our sect's strength will definitely increase greatly!" Dao Xing Tianzun exclaimed excitedly, then asked, "How can there be so many?"

"For nearly a hundred years, Master has been refining pills with the Heavenly Origin Cauldron day and night, neglecting even his own cultivation," He Tong explained.

[Grand Master Lingbao immediately clasped his hands in a gesture of respect to express his gratitude: "Senior Brother, you have devoted yourself wholeheartedly to the rise and fall of the Chan Sect, and your contributions are immense!"]

...

The world of Journey to the West, Flower and Fruit Mountain.

The monkeys stared wide-eyed at the plate full of elixirs, filled with envy. They all secretly plotted to join the Chan Sect in order to obtain such precious elixirs.

"If we could join the Chan Sect, we could also obtain such elixirs!"

Shen Gongbao said that one of these elixirs is equivalent to ten years of arduous cultivation!

"However, the Chan Sect seems to be very hostile towards demons and evil spirits! Their words were full of contempt, so we'd better not go!"

Sun Wukong waved his hand and laughed, saying nonchalantly, "Nothing special. Back then, I ate countless pills in Laozi's alchemy room."

His proud expression seemed to be telling a legendary story that no one could match, making the monkeys both envious and jealous.

"Your Majesty is amazing!"

"Your Majesty is awesome!"

...

The world of Nezha, the Demon Child, is Chen Tang Pass.

Shen Gongbao stared wide-eyed at the plate full of elixirs, muttering, "So many!"

"Master, with so many elixirs from the Boundless Immortal Elder, how come you only got six?" Ao Bing asked curiously.

The Boundless Immortal Elder casually took out nine thousand coins and distributed them to the disciples of other Golden Immortals. Who knows how many more he secretly kept to support his own disciples?

Shen Gongbao, after a century of hard work in the Chan Sect, had already reached the level of a half-step Golden Immortal, yet he only obtained a mere six.

Upon realizing this, Shen Gongbao felt a chill in his heart.

"So...so it turns out that I...have never been valued in the Chan Sect."

He bit his lip, a hint of resentment and bitterness flashing in his eyes, feeling that he had never received true respect or fair treatment in the Chan Sect.

And all of this is because he is a demon!

Ao Bing was also deeply saddened.

I seem to be gradually beginning to understand the meaning of Shen Gongbao's saying, "Prejudice in people's hearts is a mountain."

...

"Besides the Jie Sect, are there any other evil forces plotting against us?" Cihang Zhenren asked.

[Lu Tong said, "Reporting to Martial Uncle, once a powerful demon is discovered, the demon-hunting team will go to subdue it, so most scattered demons are not a threat, but there is one exception."]

[Jade Cauldron Immortal asked curiously, "Oh? Which demon race?"]

"The Dragon Clan of the East Sea." Lu Tong's expression was solemn.

Upon hearing this, both Nezha and Taiyi Zhenren were somewhat flustered.

"Didn't the Dragon Clan already surrender to the Heavenly Court?" asked the Pure Void Moral True Lord.

"Those who are not of our kind are bound to have different hearts. In my view, their surrender is merely a pretense, a pretense to wait for an opportunity," said Lu Tong.

"What crime have the Dragon Clan committed in suppressing the sea monsters for thousands of years?" Cihang Zhenren became increasingly curious.

"But they are too powerful. If they defect during the Investiture of the Gods, it could affect the entire battle!" Lu Tong continued to explain.

"That's still unacceptable. Our sect's righteous and reputable members are deeply respected. If we attack surrendered generals without just cause, how will we regain the trust of the world?" Manjushri Bodhisattva intervened.

Several Golden Immortals echoed, "That makes sense." "Indeed."

[Lu Tong was about to explain, but was stopped by Wuliang Xianweng: "Alright, you don't need to be so stubborn. The time for the six stars to align is approaching. There are no other topics to discuss, so let's adjourn the meeting!"]

[57] Shen Zhengdao, the renowned teacher of the Demon Clan! Sikong Zhen, the top player in the national server! Xiao Yan, shocked: Three Thousand Thunderclaps! Tongtian Sect Master, enraged: Accept him as a disciple!

The world of Journey to the West, the East Sea.

Sun Wukong asked the Dragon King for weapons.
