Claiming the Throne of Gods, Starting from the Rebirth of Nezha
Chapter 208: Mortal and Immortal

Chapter 208: Chapter 208: Mortal and Immortal

This kind of passion stirred his ardent heart.

Watching the girl’s back, Nezha quickly caught up to her and held her in his arms.

This sudden action first stunned Qiu Chuyao, and then her cold body warmed along with her heart.

"What are you doing!" she said coquettishly.

Nezha didn’t say anything, but gazed at her with a look full of love and tenderness. She lifted her little face to look at him and naturally placed her frozen hands gently on his chest.

Seeing the blush on the girl’s face and her slowly closing eyes due to shyness, Nezha hesitated for a moment, then hugged her shoulders and backs, their foreheads touching, and closed his eyes...

When they started walking side by side again, they discovered the gate of Outer World Town not far away, with mischievous children playing a snowball fight under it.

Even from a distance, they could still hear the loud calls of the fishermen behind and the rumbling sound of ice cracking on the distant mountains.

The seemingly peaceful world where only the two of them existed was indeed like an illusion.

At this moment, they truly crossed that line and became a loving and longing couple.

However, once they crossed that line, the subtle strangeness between a man and woman would disappear with unimaginable speed.

Seeing that they would be spotted if they walked further, Nezha quickly grabbed Qiu Chuyao’s hand, turned his head like a thief, and looked around for people.

Qiu Chuyao’s head was still dizzy. Seeing Nezha holding her, she asked, "What is it?"

"Just a kiss."

...

Back at home, they met his mother. The relatively young Lady Yin sat upright in her seat. Seeing the couple standing together so harmoniously, she found them more and more pleasing to the eye.

She had them sit down and ordered the maid Hong Fei, who hadn’t worked with her hands in a long time, to bring two cups of ginger tea, while she continued to chat with the two kids about family matters.

She spoke, but her mind was elsewhere.

Of her three sons, two were taken away by Immortals to cultivate from a young age and hadn’t been seen since. Having become Taoists, they probably would never marry or have children in this life.

This youngest son was also a Taoist, but at least he was always by her side. Though he was young, there were many girls in the house, and he knew about liking a girl.

This was a good thing.

And meeting a good girl like Qiu Chuyao was Nezha’s fortune.

She suddenly recalled the deceased Li Jing, feeling sad again, and realizing that life’s uncertainties meant they should hasten the couple’s matters to avoid future changes.

Nezha returned to his yard, saw Lv Zhu’er and Da Hei playing together, then also stepped forward and grabbed the shiny Da Hei in his arms.

"Young Master! You’re back!"

"Hey, little piggy. How’s your cultivation going? Have you missed me?"

"Of course!"

The small Lv Zhu’er, hugging Nezha’s leg like a kitten, climbed up until she was sitting on his shoulders and covered his eyes.

"Young Master, guess what! Grandpa Fan taught me the Five Elements Escape Technique. When Shuijing Lake wasn’t frozen recently, I could use Water Style to fly in the sky for an hour without falling down."

"You’ve mastered the Five Elements Escape Technique?"

Nezha was impressed, looking at the little girl before him whose voice was soft and whose skin was increasingly delicate. She was becoming more endearing by the day.

Holding her tightly in his arms, Nezha taught her the "Golden Core Heaven Sun Scripture" personally. If one day she could comprehend the Golden Core Technique, there would be no shortage of Spiritual Objects in the small world.

Entering the house, he sat cross-legged on the bed and continued to cultivate his Primordial Spirit.

The spring in Ten Thousand Yellow Springs was indeed the world’s greatest treasure for nurturing the Primordial Spirit. After this experience, his Primordial Spirit became crystalline and full, not only leaping to the Loose Immortal Realm but also having an unshakable foundation.

However, while other people’s Primordial Spirits looked identical to their bodies after being successfully cultivated, Nezha’s Primordial Spirit looked completely different from his current self but exactly like his past self named Li Zha.

He also remembered the Primordial Spirit Taoism and various miscellaneous studies taught by Shen Gongbao, though he would need to refine them further for proficiency.

Nezha muttered to himself, "If I eat the Ten Thousand Spirit Fruit now, will I leap to the Golden Immortal Realm?"

"It’s certainly possible," Zi Chen suddenly appeared and said.

Nezha suspiciously asked, "Where have you been? You didn’t speak for the whole day."

"Tsk tsk, seeing you two shamelessly hugging and kissing in the street, why would I spoil the fun by showing up?"

With that, Nezha didn’t blush and said, "If you want a kiss too, I’ll take a chance and we can hug and kiss right now."

"No thanks, I don’t want to kiss someone else’s spit, it’s not dirty to you?"

"Seriously, should I eat the Ten Thousand Spirit Fruit?"

"No rush. Eating the Ten Thousand Spirit Fruit will allow you to bypass the need to comprehend the inscrutable Dao Traces inscribed in heaven and earth over hundreds or thousands of years, using the concentrated Innate Great Dao within the fruit instead. Naturally, you would leap to the Golden Immortal Realm. But do you know that the Dao is the foundation of heaven and earth, and once comprehended, you would no longer be mortal."

Nezha was puzzled, "I’m already a Loose Immortal cultivator; I’m far from being a mortal."

"That’s being compared to those who can’t cultivate and attain immortality. But the Dao has its will, and to grasp the rules of heaven and earth and use them for your own requires defying fate."

Nezha didn’t understand, "If I master the Dao and use it for myself, it won’t disappear; how is that defying fate?"

"You just want to argue!"

Seeing Zi Chen unable to answer, Nezha asked again, "So what does it mean, why can’t I eat the Ten Thousand Spirit Fruit now?"

"It’s not that you can’t eat it, but you need to prepare first. Defying fate invites Heavenly Tribulation, an extreme danger for cultivators.

Since it is a tribulation, the power within it will be enough to crush and kill you regardless of your cultivation level.

To become a Golden Immortal, you must pass through a Heavenly Tribulation and transcend yourself. I’ll teach you a spell through which you can use the power of the Heavenly Tribulation to cultivate the Innate Qi within you."

"You previously said that Innate Qi is one of the conditions to become your new master. What exactly is Innate Qi?"

"It’s too complicated to explain. You’ll understand once you cultivate it. Simply put, strength fortifies the body, Qi fortifies the Primordial Spirit. By cultivating this Innate Qi, common spells that damage the Primordial Spirit will no longer harm you."

Hearing this, Nezha calmed his mind and first practiced the miscellaneous studies taught by Shen Gongbao.

Though called miscellaneous, most were the unspoken secrets of Yuxu Palace. The more he cultivated, the more profound knowledge he found.

But as he cultivated, the image of Qiu Chuyao appeared in his mind again. When she stood straight, her slender waist was like that of a white poplar.

With a slap!

Nezha suddenly slapped himself, his eyes becoming firm again!

"How can one slack off and be distracted in cultivation!"
