Nezha spoke for a long time, but for Yuanshi Tianzun, it wasn't a big deal. It was only when Nezha mentioned that he was drained by three Demon Gods, and that Taiqing and Shangqing Saints came to his rescue, that his expression became a bit unpleasant.

Everyone knows that Yuanshi Tianzun is most concerned about his reputation. While other Saints maintain a basic decorum, he has an exceptionally high expectation for his own reputation.

He was very displeased with the rumor caused by affection, but as a Saint, he disdained to argue with the junior Nezha, so he pointed a finger at Nezha's forehead, flooding Nezha's mind with a plethora of information about his experiences in Chaos.

Yuanshi Tianzun was chasing the roaming Nine-eyed Demon God in Chaos when indeed he was ambushed by three Demon Gods: the Split Demon God, the Thought Demon God whom Nezha encountered, and the last one, the Fear Demon God, whose whereabouts were unknown.

At the beginning, Yuanshi Tianzun did suffer a slight loss, but he dragged on and fought while consuming resources, always targeting the Thought Demon God. The Thought Demon God, severely injured, couldn't hold on and tried to escape, only for the Split Demon God below to launch a full assault, biting whoever was available.

In the eyes of the Split Demon God, there was little difference between Yuanshi Tianzun and the Thought Demon God; the weaker one was food. The bite mark on the Thought Demon God's head was his doing, leading to an internal strife between the three Demon Gods, and the Thought Demon God, left with minimal blood, fled.

Yuanshi Tianzun, charged with energy, counterattacked the Split Demon God, disassembling it and rendering it momentarily incapacitated. The three-against-one scenario, which held a significant upper hand, was reversed with one move, causing the Fear Demon God to fall into a state of fear and flee.

Yuanshi Tianzun, having expended efforts for a long time, chose not to pursue the Fear and Thought Demon Gods, opting instead to guard the corpse of the Split Demon God. Wasn't it joyous when you three were chasing me?

If it weren't for the Pangu Banner not being by his side, he would have killed all three!

The news Shen Gongbao received over in Primordial probably stemmed from Yuanshi Tianzun falling into the trap, then altered by the Thought Demon God. Shen Gongbao's words were true, only that his thoughts had been modified, and besides, he wasn't Shen Gongbao, he was the Demon Lord.

The Demon Gods vary in strength, but Yuanshi Tianzun's methods were formidable, taking on three while being caught in a trap.

"Uncle Master, you're amazing... You're unstoppable. Those little Demon Gods are not even your opponents in a single round. I knew the rumor about you being drained was a lie!"

After finishing reading the information, Nezha laughed and said.

Yuanshi Tianzun, seemingly indifferent to the matter, said placidly, "If I had the Pangu Banner with me, the other two would have also fallen here."

Nezha quickly nodded in agreement, saying Uncle Master was absolutely right, then took out the unconscious Nanji Immortal and the Pangu Banner from his sleeve. It was fortunate that Nezha managed to retrieve Nanji Immortal amidst the chaos, though he wasn't sure of his condition.

Now that Yuanshi Tianzun was in front of him, it was better to hand over the person quickly to avoid responsibility.

The Pangu Banner returned to its rightful owner, Yuanshi Tianzun. It was his treasure, and just having the chance to use it was already good enough without seeking more.

As the Pangu Banner left Nezha, it automatically returned to Yuanshi Tianzun's side. Yuanshi Tianzun then focused on Nanji Immortal, who had been deeply developed in thought by the Demon God and lost the magic power provided by it, reaching a near-dispersion state.

At this time, Nanji Immortal's face was pale, and what was once a smooth forehead was now attached to a long black tentacle, looking quite ridiculous. If it were an ordinary person with such a disgraceful disciple, they might simply leave them to their fate, but Yuanshi Tianzun was different.

He struck, causing Nanji Immortal's soul to dissipate and body to melt away, leaving only a wisp of True Spirit. The palm flattened, and the True Spirit came to rest in his hand, nourished by the Yuqing Immortal Light.

In his view, Nanji Immortal was beyond saving and it would be better to start anew. Just as the Path of Fortune and Longevity had been severed, this wisp of True Spirit was cast into reincarnation to re-cultivate and rejoin the Chan Sect. In Yuanshi Tianzun's perspective, this was the best choice. Whether the reincarnated Nanji Immortal was still Nanji Immortal or not, Yuanshi Tianzun found it irrelevant.

If you remain, continue as my disciple; if not, then the bond is severed and there's nothing more to say.

It's said that in Primordial, a good reincarnation is less important than a good teacher. Even though Nanji Immortal ended up in such a state, he still had the chance to start over. Although fortune and comprehension might greatly decrease, as long as he rejoined the Chan Sect, it wouldn't be a big problem.

Yuanshi Tianzun, as a Saint most aligned with the Heavenly Dao, used his advantage to obtain a strand of Hongmeng Purple Qi, which he entrusted to Nanji Immortal, an indication of great hope. Unfortunately, Nanji failed to live up to it. Opportunity turned calamity, but there's nothing to be said; it's Heaven's Will.

But as long as Yuanshi Tianzun was around, his disciples would never fare poorly.

With this, their information exchange was complete. Yuanshi Tianzun continued to close his eyes in meditation, transforming Spiritual Energy and comprehending the Dao of the Demon Gods below. The previous three-against-one battle had depleted him significantly, along with the absorption of Chaotic Spiritual Energy requiring a transformation process.

Now that he was here, Nezha wasn't in a hurry to leave, planning to cultivate with Yuanshi Tianzun for some time. He changed into a white Daoist robe to mimic Child Bai He, in every way a deluxe version.

Yuanshi Tianzun's character reflected that of a middle-aged leader; as long as you followed his rules, he wasn't hard to serve. Nezha had no shame in fawning over Yuanshi Tianzun—he treasured him as his beloved Uncle Master. There was no disgrace in it!

The two continued their cultivation atop the Demon God's body. Whenever the Demon God gathered power to amalgamate, Yuanshi Tianzun would lead Nezha to wield the Pangu Banner and disperse it directly.
