Chapter 290 Manjushri Arrives in Chentang! The Fate of Master and Disciple

Then, without lingering, Chen Changsheng transformed into a streak of light and soared into the sky.

Before heading to Nuwa Palace outside the Chaos Heaven, he first needs to go to Chentang Pass.

Zi Shou had already grown into a child, and naturally, Li Jing and his wife's son had also been born.

Watching Chen Changsheng's departing figure, Wen Zhong was filled with emotion:

"Li Jing and his wife are truly fortunate!"

"Their son was even able to become a disciple of their junior brother."

While sighing, a strange light flashed in Wen Zhong's eyes, as if he had suddenly thought of something.

"It seems I need to find an opportunity to speak with the King."

"Li Jing and his wife have already made great contributions by guarding Chentang Pass."

"Now that we have this relationship with my junior brother, perhaps... we should consider promoting him."

"To bestow upon him the title of king or marquis would be a sign of favor and would also demonstrate respect for the Imperial Preceptor."

In the Shang Dynasty, it was not uncommon to enfeoff princes, but they were mostly based on merit or bloodline.

In Wen Zhong's view, given Chen Changsheng's influence, promoting his disciple's father out of turn would both win over Chen Changsheng and stabilize the border defenses of Chentang Pass.

In addition, it can demonstrate to the world the importance that great merchants attach to talented people, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

After thinking it over, Wen Zhong made up his mind to find a suitable opportunity to speak to King Di Yi of Shang.

……

On the other side, Chen Changsheng activated his escape light and sped towards Chentang Pass, located on the coast of the East China Sea.

Before long, Chentang Pass came into view.

From afar, the majestic pass stands tall, backed by mountains and facing the sea, with bright flags and solemn soldiers on the city walls.

Meanwhile, inside Chentang Pass, at the General's residence.

In the backyard training ground, a middle-aged man with a resolute face and dressed in casual clothes was teaching a little boy martial arts, hand in hand.

The little boy, about four or five years old, looked chubby and adorable, but his eyes were very bright and lively.

Who else could it be but Li Jinzha?

Although he is still young, Li Jinzha already has a very impressive fighting style when he boxes.

Every move he made was executed with skill and precision, and his expression was full of focus.

In addition, a pure and sharp metal elemental energy naturally flows within its body.

Seeing this, Li Jing smiled with satisfaction, but deep down he hesitated:

"I wonder when Master Chen will return to Chen Tang Pass?"

"He...he couldn't have forgotten that he was supposed to come and take my son as his apprentice, could he?"

Thinking of this, a look of worry appeared on Li Jing's face.

Chen Changsheng rescued the couple and said that he had a connection with their third son and wanted to take him as his disciple.

Li Jing and his wife had no objection to this.

It would be the best thing if one's own son could become a disciple of an immortal.

The only thing that surprised them was how Chen Changsheng knew their third child would be a son.

Of course, the couple did not delve into it further, thinking that Chen Changsheng was an immortal, and perhaps it was a sign from heaven.

Later, when Chen Changsheng came to Chentang Pass again, Li Jing and his wife begged him to take their two children as disciples as well.

After a moment's thought, Chen Changsheng agreed.

Now, Jinzha is almost five years old, but Chen Changsheng has yet to come to Chentang Pass, which makes Li Jing somewhat worried.

Just as Li Jing was lost in thought, Jin Zha frowned slightly and asked:

"Father, are you alright?"

"Didn't you hear what your child was saying?"

Upon hearing this, Li Jing was taken aback, quickly regained his composure, and gave an awkward laugh, saying:

"Jin Zha, what...what did you say?"

Li Jinzha pursed his lips helplessly before replying:

"I asked my father, 'How did my boxing routine go just now?'"

Li Jing smiled slightly and said:

"You played very well."

"His stride is as swift as the wind, and his fist techniques flow like a river."

Upon hearing Li Jing's praise, Li Jinzha's face immediately lit up with a smile.

Suddenly, something occurred to him, and he asked curiously:

"By the way, Father."

"When will that master you mentioned come to accept me as his disciple?"

From the time Li Jinzha could remember, Li Jing had told him that he had an extremely powerful master, a mighty immortal.

He was naturally quite looking forward to it.

After all, immortals are beings who live forever.

Upon hearing Li Jinzha's question, Li Jing smiled faintly, affectionately patted his son's head, and looked towards the distant horizon, a hint of expectation and emotion flashing in his eyes.

"It'll be soon, very soon."

"Your master is a man of his word; once a promise has been made, he will not forget it."

"Your master will definitely come when you turn five."

Despite saying this, Li Jing was actually unsure of himself.

From the very beginning, it was clear that Chen Changsheng only wanted to take him and Yin Shiniang's third son as his disciple.

He wasn't quite sure whether Chen Changsheng still honored the agreement from back then.

"My fifth birthday?"

"Isn't that tomorrow?"

Upon hearing what Li Jing said, Li Jinzha was first startled, then overjoyed, and couldn't help but cheer:

"Very good!"

"Tomorrow I will finally meet my immortal master whom I have never met before."

Seeing this, Li Jing forced a smile, thinking that it would be incredibly embarrassing if Chen Changsheng didn't come.

But soon, his eyes hardened, trusting Chen Changsheng's character; having made a promise, he would not break it.

"boom!"

"call out……"

Just then, a figure suddenly stopped on the clouds above Chentang Pass.

This man had a refined and vigorous appearance, a long beard with three strands, wore a jade crown, dressed in a robe with the Eight Trigrams symbol, and held a jade ruyi in his hand.

Its aura is mellow and upright, yet it also contains a hidden sharpness of wisdom.

He is none other than Manjushri, one of the twelve supreme immortals of the Chan sect.

Originally, the Heavenly Venerable Manjushri was ordered to return to Kunlun Mountain to discuss important matters. When he passed through Chentang Pass, he suddenly felt something in his heart, as if there was a mysterious heavenly secret that led him to a master-disciple relationship.

"what?"

"This place... seems to reveal a profound master-disciple relationship?"

After a moment of hesitation, Manjushri's eyes shone with a strange light. He made a few calculations with his fingers, but felt that the secrets of heaven were obscure. He only knew that the destiny should be in the city below, and it seemed to have just become clear and active.

"How strange! Who could possibly trigger such a karmic connection?"

"Please allow this humble Taoist priest to take a look."

Having said that, Manjushri didn't linger. He immediately descended from the clouds, concealed his form, and his divine sense swept over Chen Tang Pass like a gentle breeze.

Soon, his attention was drawn to Li Jing and his son at the martial arts training ground inside the General's Mansion.

Especially Li Jinzha.

"This is... an innate metal spirit body?"

Upon closer inspection, Manjushri was utterly astonished.

I never imagined that such a physique could exist among human beings.

It should be noted that this innate metal spirit body is naturally close to the metal element law, and its sharpness is hidden within.

It is a supreme gem for cultivating swordsmanship and metal-based divine abilities.

Even among innate beings, this is extremely rare, yet it has appeared in a human child? It is truly unbelievable.
