Claiming the Throne of Gods, Starting from the Rebirth of Nezha
Chapter 232: Eight-Armed Nezha

Chapter 232: Chapter 232: Eight-Armed Nezha

"Disciple Li Nezha of the third generation of the Chan Sect, pays respects to the Heavenly Venerate."

Nezha’s demeanor was elegant and respectful, even Senior Sister Bai He, who was fully absorbed in her cultivation outside, looked upon him with favor.

The Heavenly Venerate was his elder and had no reason to dislike him.

"You are quite bold."

Nezha laughed and said, "I wonder for what reason the Patriarch considers Nezha bold."

"Your heart is also ruthless."

Yuanshi Tianzun did not answer Nezha’s question at all and said in a deep voice, "Although your soul comes from beyond the realm, your body was indeed nurtured by Li Jing’s essence. Just because he treated you poorly, you killed him?"

Nezha thought, indeed the Great Dao of the Saint knows everything.

Jiang Ziya, standing by the side, shuddered. He had thought he understood this apprentice nephew, but realized he had underestimated him.

He is ruthless enough to kill his own father, what am I, just an uncle?

"I must be careful not to scold him in the future," Jiang Ziya muttered to himself.

Nezha calmly said, "It was not Nezha’s heart that was ruthless, it was Li Jing’s heart that was ruthless."

"A person with a naturally cold disposition, much like Shen Gongbao. If you had become his disciple in your early years, things might have been different. But your fate is better than his, so be it, let’s take it step by step."

A few light words, but Nezha’s heart was greatly shaken, he couldn’t help but feel ecstatic.

So be it.

Just those two words, yet it meant that Yuanshi Tianzun acknowledged his position in the Chan Sect!

Yuanshi Tianzun said, "The Four Saints of Nine Dragon Island may be only at the Golden Immortal Realm, but each one of them is among the best within that realm, none of them should be underestimated. When fighting on the field, you must use your full strength."

Nezha thought, according to the book, there were various reinforcements when battling the Four Saints of Nine Dragon Island, but from your words, it sounds like I’m meant to handle them all alone.

He could only say, "Disciple will do my utmost, but disciple’s cultivation is shallow, I’m afraid I might not be able to match them."

Whether he could match them or not, that had to be determined in battle. By saying this, he was hoping to receive some treasures like the ones Jiang Ziya had received after meeting Yuanshi Tianzun.

Yuanshi Tianzun, being who he was, saw through Nezha’s thoughts immediately and chuckled, "Don’t think too much, most of the Spiritual Treasures in this world already have their owners, I cannot just take them away and give to you. Besides, you possess a Holy Artifact; even if you can’t win, protecting your life shouldn’t be too hard. However..."

The Heavenly Venerate stopped mid-sentence.

Nezha hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "Please, Patriarch, guide me."

"You are not the only one who possesses a Holy Artifact, and given your low cultivation, you cannot fully awaken its power. If you reveal it in front of others, they might become envious, making it hard for you to survive."

"You have a Holy Artifact?" Jiang Ziya’s eyes widened.

Nezha glared at him, "Uncle, don’t speak so loudly, the Heavenly Venerate already said, no one else must know."

"Hmph, since the teacher said it in front of me, it is surely fine for me to know."

"But you know too much." Nezha feigned a bit of killing intent to scare him.

Jiang Ziya shivered, remembering what Yuanshi Tianzun had said earlier about Nezha killing his own father, and felt a chill down his spine.

Nezha bowed again and said, "Thank you, Patriarch, for your favor. Nezha’s life is preserved by your decree. Besides thanking the Patriarch for your grace today, disciple has one more thing to request."

"What do you wish for?" Yuanshi Tianzun asked, intrigued.

He had encountered Outer Heaven Demons before.

He had some guesses about the origins of these odd existences, but it didn’t affect his fondness for these changes.

As a Heavenly Dao Saint, he could see the past and future in a single thought, which was both stable and boring.

Nezha said, "I humbly request the Heavenly Venerate to bestow three cups of fine wine and three Fire Jujubes."

What kind of reward is this?

Jiang Ziya was puzzled, but he soon was so shocked he couldn’t speak. For the first time in his limited life, he saw a look of surprise on his teacher’s face.

Yuanshi Tianzun was indeed taken aback, "You actually know about the decrees of the Heavenly Dao?"

Nezha bowed his head to the ground, thinking that indeed, when dealing with this true ’Outer Heaven Demon’ from Earth, even Yuanshi Tianzun wasn’t all-knowing.

After a while, Yuanshi Tianzun regained his calm demeanor and had some guesses of his own, though he didn’t need to share them with Nezha.

He only said, "Since it is so, I will grant your request. Bai He, fetch three cups of immortal brew and pick three Fire Jujubes from the back garden’s tree for him."

"As you command." Bai He Immortal calmly walked away, oblivious to the chaos around her, with her Spiritual Pearl not trembling at all.

It wasn’t due to her great composure, but like many other Kunlun disciples, she considered such things to be "external matters."

Bai He Immortal gracefully moved, fetched the wine, picked the jujubes, and returned to Nezha, giving him a reproachful look.

The look clearly meant:

You fool, given a request by the Heavenly Venerate, with treasures piled like the sea in Yuxu Palace, why only ask for three cups of wine and three jujubes?

"Thank you, Senior Sister."

Bai He Immortal gently nodded and gracefully poured a cup of immortal brew for Nezha.

Standing so close, Nezha could even smell the faint orchid scent on her fingertips.

Nezha drank the cup in one gulp, feeling the Spiritual Energy permeate through his body.

Bai He Immortal then handed him a Fire Jujube, which he ate slowly.

Nezha drank three cups of wine and ate three Fire Jujubes.

Bai He Immortal still felt it was a shame. Though the palace’s wine and back mountain’s jujubes were indeed good, they were not considered treasures.

She did not know that everything in this world has its synergy — these items naturally complemented Nezha’s body. Whereas they were useless to others, they caused myriad changes within Nezha.

Nezha moved his arms and legs, finding nothing unusual, until he heard a noise from his left side, and an arm started to grow!

Jiang Ziya’s eyes almost popped out, "What the...?"

Before he could finish, an arm also started to grow on Nezha’s right side.

Even Bai He Immortal was stunned, her own arms trembling.

On both sides, arms grew simultaneously, each adding up to a total of eight.

This wasn’t the end; two heads grew on both sides!

Nezha also marveled, although he had control over eight arms, he was momentarily clumsy, with three heads viewing from all directions without any blind spots.

In his memory, Sun Wukong had supplemented the flaws in his martial arts with his Ruyi Jingu Bang. Could he elevate his own martial arts with these three heads and eight arms?

"Three heads and eight arms, truly a formidable Eight-Armed Nezha."

Yuanshi Tianzun laughed, "Three cups of immortal brew to transcend the three barriers, truly allowing you to become extraordinary."

Nezha replied, "It’s all thanks to the Heavenly Venerate’s reward."

Having a powerful Patriarch favoring him was undoubtedly a great thing.

He couldn’t help but think, if he returned to Outer World Town looking like this, wouldn’t he scare Ah Yao to death?

While thinking this, the newly grown limbs and heads disappeared without a trace, but upon another thought, they reappeared.

Seeing this, Yuanshi Tianzun, who wasn’t one for idle talk, dismissed Nezha and Jiang Ziya.

Leaving Yuxu Palace, Nezha followed Jiang Ziya toward the North Sea.

Curious, Jiang Ziya asked, "The teacher said there’s someone in the North Sea waiting for me. Do you know who it is?"
