The Investiture: Unlimited Blade Works Nezha
Chapter 363 - 362: The Advantage Is Mine!

Chapter 363: Chapter 362: The Advantage Is Mine!

As a result, Yuan Feng went completely off her rocker—not only was she all sweet talk, but she seemed hell-bent on annihilating the Dragon Clan.

Ancestor Dragon endured and endured until he couldn’t anymore. "Damn it, Yuan Feng! Today I’m going to end you!"

What followed was an all-out war among the three clans, compounded by external forces. None of the three Chaos Divine Beasts got what they wanted, and all ended up losing miserably. Taking advantage of the chaos, the Heavenly Dao suppressed them, locking them up indefinitely.

According to Yuan Feng, the Ancestor Dragon is currently in the Two Forms Realm, the site of the final decisive battle among the three clans. He’s there for something, though Yuan Feng can’t say exactly what—but she insists it must be something edible.

Nezha had already gained a thorough understanding of Yuan Feng’s personality from Kong Xuan: no matter what the object is, she’ll take a bite to test it out. If it’s useful, her body will absorb it; if not, it’ll be expelled.

Yeah, her nine kids were pretty much all conceived this way.

Eldest, Golden Phoenix, was born from Innate Five Virtues Qi; second, Cai Feng, from Pangu’s Sound of the Great Dao; third, Fire Phoenix, from a ball of Innate flame; fourth, Snow Phoenix, from the first snowflake in the Primordial world; fifth, Blue Phoenix, from a ball of Innate true water; sixth, Kong Xuan, from Innate Five Elements Qi...

The eldest children of Yuan Feng were the main forces of the Phoenix Clan’s resistance against the Dragon Clan. However, compared to the Ancestor Dragon’s brothers, they fell short and ultimately either perished in battle or went missing.

So whatever "edible" thing Yuan Feng mentioned, it’s impossible to define exactly what it is. But based on Yuan Feng’s words, it’s something that could bring them a "Chaos Origin opportunity," which is more than enough.

"Senior, where exactly is this Two Forms Realm?"

Yuan Feng thought for a moment before replying, "The Two Forms Realm was already shattered in the final battle among the three clans; I have no clue where it is now."

Nezha understood. Considering she’s been locked up indefinitely, external changes are bound to make things confusing. He felt justified about the money Hao Tian gave him for gathering intelligence from Yuan Feng.

He handed over a variety of rare Spirit Fruits to Yuan Feng, and after Yuan Feng repeatedly urged him to "make sure you bring back Old Loach," Nezha left the Undying Volcano and returned to the Heavenly Court.

The Immortals of the Heavenly Court were still waiting for news from Nezha.

Nezha didn’t hide anything and shared the information he had on the Two Forms Realm and a mysterious treasure. Hao Tian immediately grew restless. Being a servant to the Daoist Ancestor, he knew of certain insider details.

The number of Saint Positions in the universe is finite. With Primordial Spiritual Energy previously diminishing, achieving sainthood had become a nearly impossible dream—but now, times have changed.

Hao Tian understood that the chances of the Ancestor Dragon breaking through to Chaos Origin were extremely slim. But what if, against all odds, he succeeded?

Deep down, Hao Tian also knew that the Ancestor Dragon was vastly superior to him in machinations, tactics, and cultivation. If he didn’t act now and the Ancestor Dragon succeeded, he’d be waking up at night to slap himself silly.

Hao Tian asked solemnly, "Do the Immortals have any idea how to enter the Two Forms Realm?"

He was primarily directing this question at Nezha, as most of the other Immortals in the Heavenly Court had ascended only recently, and knew nothing of the Ancient Era.

Instead of answering, Nezha countered with a question of his own: "Has there been any news from the Ancestor Dragon Hall?"

Hao Tian threw a glance at Gold Star Taibai, who swiftly stepped forward and explained, "According to the reports, the Ancestor Dragon didn’t flee, but was kidnapped by Candle Dragon. His whereabouts are currently unknown. The Candle Dragon elder has gone mad and is being suppressed in the Ancestor Dragon Hall. His avatar’s motives for abducting the Ancestor Dragon remain unclear, and they request Your Majesty’s aid in recovering him."

Nezha: ...

Brilliant—they even found a scapegoat, and it turns out to be a lunatic.

Candle Dragon, a Great Expert of the Dragon Clan born with the Time Divine Power, had always claimed to have gone insane due to backlash from the River of Time during the Ancient War, and had been living in retirement at the Ancestor Dragon Hall.

Now, out of the blue, he supposedly kidnapped the Ancestor Dragon. Who’s going to believe that?

But the Heavenly Court operates by the rules. With the mad Candle Dragon taking all the blame, the Heavenly Court truly had no way to deal with the Dragon Clan. Their only option now was to capture Candle Dragon and bring back the Ancestor Dragon.

Nezha pondered briefly and said, "I do have the means to locate the Qiankun Realm, but wouldn’t it be better to bring along some reinforcements?"

Despite the Heavenly Court appearing to have a large military force, the true top-tier experts were outside of Hao Tian’s command. And as for the more recent ascendants—they wouldn’t even last one round against Nezha himself, let alone face Candle Dragon.

You’d be better off sending them to take out Sun Wukong.

Hao Tian understood Nezha’s point, but was also conscious of his own lack of personal connections. He decisively stated, "Emperor Ziwei can rally some troops. When the time comes, I guarantee a generous reward."

Nezha nodded. Hao Tian was growing more competent by the day.

...

At the Sealing Demon Platform that Nezha had previously built in the Heavenly Court, the reinforcements began to assemble.

First was Jin Ling Saint Mother from Jie Sect. With Duobao having taken the Ancestor Dragon’s place guarding the Sea Eye, Jie Sect had both moral and practical reasons to send manpower. Sanxiao and Old Zhao were occupied with matters pertaining to the Three Immortals Island, and Wudang couldn’t easily take action. Thus, Jin Ling was the ideal candidate.

The second arrival was the Peacock Great Bright King Bodhisattva Kong Xuan, who came not in the name of the Phoenix Clan, but as a representative of Buddhism: "I am not targeting the Ancestor Dragon specifically, but justice must prevail over all evil!"

The third arrival surprised Nezha: it was the ancient Thunder God of Thunder Marsh, known as the father of the Human Emperor Fu Xi.

This ancient deity claimed to be here on behalf of the Dragon Clan, intending to rescue the abducted Ancestor Dragon.

However, no one at the scene was gullible. They all understood Thunder God’s true agenda—to secretly aid Candle Dragon and look for ways to shirk blame and cut ties.

Nezha took an aside to ask Kong Xuan about Thunder God’s power level. Kong Xuan frowned and remarked, "Evenly matched." Hearing this, Nezha couldn’t help but marvel at the depth of the Dragon Clan’s foundation.

Hao Tian couldn’t openly express his thoughts but dispatched ten thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, along with the Thunder Department, Lei Zhenzi, and numerous Heavenly Gods. While the sheer number was impressive, let’s be honest—they were effectively cannon fodder.

But Nezha didn’t complain. On the surface, it looked like the enemy only had a lunatic Candle Dragon, while their side boasted three Quasi-Saints—a clear advantage for them!

Even if Thunder God intended to sabotage things, at least he wouldn’t dare blatantly switch sides.

Start the raid!

The Two Forms Realm had long since been shattered by the three clans, leaving it in a state of existing and not existing. Candle Dragon, using his Time Divine Power and memories, could pinpoint its current location. Nezha, however, lacked this capability.

But he had his own method.

From Yuan Feng, he learned that her second son, Cai Feng, perished in the Two Forms Realm. Cai Feng was born when Yuan Feng consumed the Sound of the Great Dao.

This Sound of the Great Dao was the same one Nezha had acquired earlier—not the exact same, but close enough in essence.

Nezha planned to use the resonance between the two Sounds of the Great Dao to pinpoint the present location of the Two Forms Realm.

Nezha meditated for a moment, allowing his Mana to gradually emulate the Sound of the Great Dao he carried within him—a mystical concept yet simple in substance: the primordial roar of Pangu God.
