At this moment, a golden streak of light streaked across the sky. It turned out to be a figure in a golden robe, as majestic as an emperor, carrying a two-year-old child through the air.
The child in his arms was none other than our protagonist, Mu Lingfeng. Mu Lingfeng's father was Zhi Tianming, one of the founders of De Feng Ancient Path.
His sister, Mu Lingfeng, was known as Feng Ru Wuqing in the future.
The person now holding Mu Lingfeng, dressed in a golden robe and exuding an aura of authority like a mafia boss, was Huang Ru Wushang. He was generally referred to as Huang Ru Zunjia and was Mu Lingfeng's master.
Their destination at this moment was Yunhai Immortal Sect, and their purpose was to "rob" the leader of Yunhai Immortal Sect, a person named Jiu Tian Xuanzun.
At this moment, Mu Lingfeng was both excited and nervous, and he was on the verge of panic.
"Actually, Mu Lingfeng had a secret that no one knew: he was a穿越者 (穿越者 means '穿越者' in Chinese, which can be translated as 'time traveler' or '穿越者'). Before he crossed over, he was just like any ordinary person, going to work every day, watching videos after work, and occasionally going out to have a drink and chat with friends. The only difference was that he started to like watching Puppet Shows, but unfortunately, he had only been into it for a couple of years and was still a newbie.
One day, when Mu Lingfeng woke up, he found himself as an underdeveloped fetus. Although he had not yet been born, he could already sense the changes outside.
Mu Lingfeng developed like a normal fetus until one day he felt a strange change in his surroundings.
On that day, Mu Lingfeng felt a stream of energy slowly merging into his body, gradually transforming it.
One day, he vaguely heard anxious voices from outside.
"Divine Doctor, my wife is almost seven months pregnant, but why is the fetus developing so slowly?" a man's anxious voice.
"No worries, the fetus in your wife's womb is very resilient. It seems that your wife has consumed some spiritual fruit, making the fetus too powerful. The normal nutrients provided by the mother's body cannot meet the needs of the fetus's development. From now on, provide your wife with more spiritual energy and fruits. This will help the fetus grow rapidly."
Mu Lingfeng only heard this much and then fell back asleep.
Time passed slowly, and Mu Lingfeng allowed the energy to continue transforming his body.
It wasn't until after Mu Lingfeng was born and could communicate that he learned the energy came from a treasure called the "Holy Essence Spirit Fruit." The "Holy Essence Spirit Fruit" was said to be born on the Sacred Spirit Tree, which took a thousand years to bear one fruit. The fruit would only remain on the tree for nine days before falling and withering, and the Sacred Spirit Tree would also wither.
According to legend, the Sacred Spirit Tree was the last gift left by the gods when they ascended to the heavens. Although several gods in the bitter realm had also ascended, there was only one "Holy Essence Spirit Fruit" in existence, which Huang Ru Zunjia had obtained by chance and kept as a treasure. Consuming this fruit could improve a martial artist's potential, but when Huang Ru Zunjia obtained it, his foundation was already established. He felt that the fruit was useless to him and was confident in his own martial bones, so he never consumed it and kept it until now.
The reason Mu Lingfeng possessed this power was because of his master, Huang Ru Zunjia. At that time, Huang Ru Zunjia was very jealous of four people: Jiu Tian Xuanzun of Yunhai Immortal Sect, Dao Huang Sheng Wuji of the Dao Sect, Zun Fo Suhuonian of the Buddhist Sect, and Xia Kanxuan, his sister Mu Lingfeng's master. They were all of the same generation and had similar strength, but the other four had already taken on disciples, while Huang Ru Zunjia had not. Especially after his sister Mu Lingfeng became a disciple of Xia Kanxuan.
Mu Lingfeng had heard that during that time, Huang Ru Wushang often went out to look for a disciple. Unfortunately, after finding a suitable and likable person, that person only wanted to be brothers with Huang Ru Wushang and not his disciple. As a result, Huang Ru Wushang gained a younger brother, and Haozheng Wudao gained a new member, Xie Ru Wuzong. This made Huang Ru Wushang even more depressed.
So when Huang Ru Zunjia learned that Mu Lingfeng's mother was pregnant again, he found Mu Lingfeng's father, Zhi Tianming, and insisted on taking the unborn Mu Lingfeng as his disciple. He told Zhi Tianming about the "Holy Essence Spirit Fruit" and said that it could give Mu Lingfeng the strongest martial bones in the world.
Zhi Tianming was moved by Huang Ru Zunjia's sincerity and, together with Huang Ru Zunjia, directly infused the power of the "Holy Essence Spirit Fruit" into the fetal Mu Lingfeng.
If the "Holy Essence Spirit Fruit" were consumed, the energy within would continuously improve and strengthen the consumer's martial bones and potential until the energy was depleted.
However, since the "Holy Essence Spirit Fruit" was infused into the fetal Mu Lingfeng, the effect was different. At the time, Mu Lingfeng's mother had been pregnant for only four months. When this energy entered Mu Lingfeng's body, all his organs, bones, muscles, and marrow were immersed in the energy of the fruit. After his body was completely transformed, there was still a lot of energy left, which gradually integrated into Mu Lingfeng's body. At that time, Mu Lingfeng was like an immature "Holy Essence Spirit Fruit" that needed a lot of energy to grow, and the mother's energy was no longer sufficient.
After that, Zhi Tianming continuously infused the spiritual energy from spiritual pills and fruits into Mu Lingfeng's body to help him grow faster. With this assistance, Mu Lingfeng's development did indeed speed up.
However, even though Zhi Tianming was relatively wealthy, Mu Lingfeng used up all the spiritual pills and fruits in Zhi Tianming's collection, as well as 60% of Huang Ru Zunjia's collection. In the end, Zhi Tianming had to trade with Xia Kanxuan, Mu Lingfeng's sister's master, to obtain an additional 30% of the total collection of spiritual pills and fruits. Even so, Mu Lingfeng stayed in his mother's womb for three years, matching the time Nezha spent in his mother's womb.
After Mu Lingfeng was born, his mother and sister took care of him every day. Huang Ru Wushang and Zhi Tianming would also help him cultivate his meridians from time to time.
This led to the first problem after Mu Lingfeng's birth.
Mu Lingfeng developed more slowly than other children. Although he was already six years old, he looked like a two-year-old.
Fortunately, he didn't have the problems of a two-year-old, such as wobbling when walking or being unable to eat independently.
Although Mu Lingfeng looked like a two-year-old, his body was already ready to start cultivation. Thus, Huang Ru Zunjia officially took Mu Lingfeng as his disciple and taught him some basic cultivation methods.
At this moment, Mu Lingfeng was being held by Huang Ru Zunjia as they headed towards Yunhai Immortal Sect. This was his first time leaving De Feng Ancient Path and flying in the sky.
Mu Lingfeng was thoroughly enjoying this experience and was glad he didn't have acrophobia.
Mu Lingfeng and Huang Ru Zunjia arrived outside Yunhai Immortal Sect.
Mu Lingfeng looked at the Pangu Cloud Whale of Yunhai Immortal Sect and asked loudly, "Master, what is that thing? It's so big and can fly, and there are buildings on its back."
"That is the Pangu Cloud Whale, an ancient divine beast," Huang Ru Zunjia explained.
"Master, are there any smaller cloud whales here? I want to take one home and raise it," Mu Lingfeng asked cutely, taking advantage of his childlike charm.
Huang Ru Zunjia was momentarily embarrassed and didn't know how to respond.
At this moment, Ying Long Wuji, one of the two guardians of Yunhai Immortal Sect, had already noticed Huang Ru Zunjia's arrival and heard the child's words. He was speechless and quickly appeared to interrupt their thoughts.
Ying Long Wuji approached Huang Ru Zunjia and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Huang Ru Zunjia."
Huang Ru Zunjia saw Ying Long Wuji and said, "No need for formalities, Ying Long Wuji. Is Jiu Tian Xuanzun in Yunhai Immortal Sect?"
"Jiu Tian Xuanzun is in Yunhai Immortal Sect. Lin Feng Xuanji has already informed him. Please wait a moment, Huang Ru Zunjia."
At this moment, Lin Feng Xuanji also came out of the Pangu Cloud Whale and greeted Huang Ru Zunjia outside the sect, bowing to him.
Lin Feng Xuanji then said, "Please, Huang Ru Zunjia, Xuanzun has prepared tea for you."
Huang Ru Zunjia said, "Lead the way."
Ying Long Wuji and Lin Feng Xuanji transformed into a dragon and a phoenix and flew into Yunhai Immortal Sect, and Huang Ru Zunjia also transformed into a beam of light and followed.
