Chapter 157: Meng Tianzheng's Path Continues, the Grand Elder Gains Access to the Immortal Path!
"Peacock...pays respects to senior!"
After becoming famous, he searched for his benefactor's whereabouts, wanting to repay him, but unfortunately he had no clues.
I have only seen a description of her in a tattered ancient book.
A willow tree withers and flourishes, reborn from the ashes, battling across the heavens and the earth, striking fear into the hearts of foreign lands!
To meet again so unexpectedly is enough to comfort me for the rest of my life.
Not far away, the Willow God did not directly reveal its true form, but it slightly swayed its branches in affirmation.
Immediately afterwards, a crystal-clear willow leaf, shimmering with a divine green light, slowly drifted down and landed on the brow of the Peacock God.
It was a willow leaf, emerald green and dripping with moisture, with complex and primordial runes flowing across it. If he could comprehend it properly, it would guarantee him further advancement.
Upon realizing all this, the Peacock God Lord, along with a large group of experts from his clan, hurriedly knelt down and bowed deeply once again.
"Thank you for bestowing this method upon me, Senior!"
"The Peacock Clan will never forget the great kindness of our predecessors!"
This scene once again startled the Great Demon God Shi Zhongtian and the others behind him, causing their eyelids to twitch wildly.
At first, he thought that Jiang Chen might be a god who had ignited the divine fire, or at most a true god.
But now...
Look at these giants!
That's a legendary supreme being! A leader-level figure!
At this moment, however, he knelt obediently in front of Jiang Chen like a primary school student.
In particular, he had vaguely heard that the Daoist boy standing respectfully behind Jiang Chen had previously displayed great power in the Upper Realm, even summoning a decree to suppress and kill four crippled immortals, causing a great upheaval.
Now, besides him being misjudged, even the willow tree was misjudged by him.
How could a mere sacrificial spirit from the lower realm possibly command the submission of the Peacock God from the upper realm?
What kind of earth-shattering plot is this?
If someone can slay a crippled immortal and make even the supreme being bow down, could it be that besides Jiang Chen, this being called Liu Shen is also a true immortal-level expert?
"Gurgle."
The thought of these possibilities made the Great Demon God and the others swallow hard, their heads buzzing.
"A true immortal, undoubtedly a true immortal!"
"I misjudged before, but this time I'm absolutely sure I won't be wrong."
Shi Zhongtian sighed and thought to himself.
At the same time, the way he looked at his grandson Shi Hao changed, and he wondered just how powerful a patron his grandson had gotten.
Of course, it wasn't just him; Qian Renxue, Aman, and the others beside him were also completely mesmerized.
This scene is many times grander than the village brawls in Douluo Continent!
"You are Meng Tianzheng?"
Suddenly, Jiang Chen turned his head and his gaze fell on a middle-aged man wearing armor.
It was none other than Meng Tianzheng, the Grand Elder of the Heavenly God Academy and the number one person in the human realm of the Upper Realm.
Upon hearing this, Meng Tianzheng was also startled and quickly stepped forward, clasping his hands and bowing.
Although not as humble as Qingyunzi, he still spoke with great respect: "Junior Meng Tianzheng greets senior."
Jiang Chen nodded, a hint of appreciation flashing in his eyes as he looked at the person in front of him.
He is a tragic hero, and also the true backbone of this land.
"Be a seed, and be a seed."
"Your path is very good."
Jiang Chen commented calmly, each word resounding like thunder in Meng Tianzheng's ears:
"If the laws of this world were not flawed and the Heavenly Dao were not damaged, with your talent and perseverance, you would have already attained immortality, or even more than that."
Upon hearing the Immortal Lord's praise, everyone around looked at Elder Meng Tianzheng with surprise.
Meng Tianzheng himself looked up with a sense of loss, then gave a bitter laugh before lowering his head again.
No one has ever truly understood his path, nor has anyone ever been so certain of it!
It is already a great blessing that the Immortal Lord has now given his approval.
However, this world is ultimately flawed, and I was unable to fully embark on that path, leaving behind only eternal regret.
However, Jiang Chen's next move shocked Meng Tianzheng and everyone present.
"A single line separates them, and there is an insurmountable chasm between them."
"but..."
Suddenly, Jiang Chen changed the subject, and a rune emitting a strange fluctuation appeared at his fingertip.
The runes were not dazzling, but they seemed to contain a sense of perfection and flawlessness.
"There is no perfect law in this world, but if one can see the true nature in imperfection, that is the great way."
"I'm giving this to you so that it might help you fill that last gap in your life."
After saying that, Jiang Chen casually inserted the rune into Meng Tianzheng's brow, causing the latter to tremble violently!
In that instant, he seemed to see a broken road being reconnected beneath his feet.
The path to immortality is in sight!
"This, this is..."
Sensing the changes within his body, Meng Tianzheng suddenly looked up, his eyes filled with disbelief and ecstasy.
He didn't say much, but simply bowed deeply to Jiang Chen.
This bow continued until it touched the ground!
"I will forever remember your kindness in saving me!"
Just then, the void in the distance began to ripple again.
Immediately afterwards, a wave that wasn't particularly powerful, but carried a special aura of longevity, emanated from it.
"Qin Changsheng of the Qin family of Immortal Mountain, along with Shi Hao's parents, have come to pay their respects to the Primordial Immortal Lord!"
As the sound came, a Five Elements Chariot rumbled in.
Inside the car, a middle-aged man dressed in a Taoist robe with the Five Elements in his attire looked reserved.
Behind him, a young couple looked on anxiously and expectantly.
The people who arrived were Shi Hao's biological parents, Shi Ziling and Qin Yining!
Meanwhile, Qin Changsheng, the Immortal Celestial, was so frightened by the grand scene of the giants paying homage that his legs were trembling.
In his heart, he cursed the clansman who dared to capture Shi Hao's parents and bring them to the upper realm, abandoning Shi Hao, a thousand times over.
"Oh no, with this scene, is that guy going to slap my Immortal Mountain to death?"
The Five Elements Chariot landed, and its brilliance faded.
Qin Changsheng, the Immortal Celestial, practically rolled off the chariot.
This person, who was known as the patriarch of the Xuan Domain and even claimed to be an immortal being who would live forever, had no color in his usually well-maintained face, and his forehead was covered with fine beads of cold sweat.
He dared not look up at the white-clad figure in the sky, much less at the Supreme Cult Leader kneeling on the ground.
He felt like an ant that had stumbled into a dragon's lair, and the slight pressure in the air made his whole body creak.
"Um... why aren't you going yet!"
Upon landing, Qin Changsheng turned around and whispered almost pleadingly to Shi Ziling and his wife behind him, completely lacking the dignity he once possessed as an ancestor.
At this moment, Shi Ziling and Qin Yining had long since forgotten about the astonishing scene around them.
The moment their feet touched this land, a deep-seated throbbing stirred within them.
The two suddenly looked up at the child in the crowd, who was wearing an animal skin coat and had big, red eyes.
And that old man with one arm and an empty sleeve, his white hair flying wildly.
"Father...Father?"
