Chapter 293 Speaking of seniority, you have to call me 'Uncle-Master'!
The next moment, Manjushri suddenly raised his eyes and looked up at the sky above the training ground.
"That voice..."
At the same time, Li Jing was overjoyed when he heard the voice that suddenly came from the sky.
Manjushri couldn't hear it, but Li Jing did, and exclaimed involuntarily:
"It's...it's my senior!"
Meanwhile, Li Jinzha, standing beside Li Jing, felt a tremor in his heart upon seeing his father so agitated, and muttered quietly:
"Judging from Father's expression, could it be that my master, whom I've never met before, has arrived?"
Just as Li Jing and his son were lost in thought, Manjushri's expression darkened, and he shouted sharply:
"Which fellow Daoist is it?"
"Why aren't you coming out? What's the meaning of hiding like this?"
As he said this, Manjushri's heart tightened.
The fact that this person could so easily dispel his oppressive aura means that even among Great Luo Golden Immortals, he must be an absolute top-tier existence.
As Manjushri questioned him, the void above the training ground slightly distorted, rippling like water.
Immediately afterwards, a figure stepped out from the ripples.
The newcomer wore a blue Taoist robe, stood tall and straight, had a young and handsome face, and calm and deep eyes that seemed to contain the swirling stars.
He simply stood there, without being surrounded by immortal light, yet he naturally exuded an aura of profound composure and towering grandeur. Who else could he be but Chen Changsheng?
Upon seeing Chen Changsheng appear, Li Jing was incredibly excited and exclaimed in surprise:
"Senior Chen, you've finally arrived!"
At the same time, Manjushri stared intently at Chen Changsheng.
Upon closer inspection, he couldn't help but look on with surprise.
"Humans?"
"How is this possible?"
Manjushri was secretly surprised and somewhat incredulous.
It should be understood that although the human race is the protagonist of heaven and earth, cultivation is extremely difficult due to the limitations of innate foundation and postnatal reproduction.
Achieving immortality is already difficult enough; Golden Immortals are extremely rare.
As for human cultivators at the Great Luo Golden Immortal level, they are even rarer to find.
In Manjushri's memory, only the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors among the human race possessed such cultivation.
But now, a human Grand Luo has suddenly appeared, which has caught Manjushri off guard.
Just as Manjushri was stunned, Li Jing, his face full of excitement, quickly pulled Li Jinzha up:
"Jin Zha!"
"Hurry up and bow!"
"This must be your master. Quickly pay your respects to your master!"
Upon hearing Li Jing's words, Li Jinzha paused for a moment, blinked his bright and deep eyes, and looked at Chen Changsheng.
He noticed this gaze naturally.
Chen Changsheng possessed an extraordinary demeanor, and the aura emanating from his entire body was in no way weaker than that of Manjushri.
After a moment of distraction, Li Jinzha quickly snapped out of it and knelt down on the ground in a proper manner, kowtowing and bowing to Chen Changsheng:
"Disciple Li Jinzha greets Master!"
Chen Changsheng saw this, remained calm, and with a gentle wave of his hand, a soft force lifted him up from the ground.
What?
Upon seeing this, Manjushri was filled with astonishment and muttered to himself:
"Is this the master of Jinzha that Li Jing mentioned?"
"That's not right!"
"When did a Great Luo Golden Immortal of human origin appear within this Jie Sect?"
The more Manjushri thought about it, the more bewildered he became, caught off guard by Chen Changsheng's sudden appearance.
Besides that, what puzzled him even more was...
It seems that there are no famous human disciples in the Jie Sect.
Even if they did, their cultivation level could never be that high.
Among the disciples of the three religions, the strongest human disciple is none other than the disciple of the Supreme Sage of the Human Religion, Grand Master Xuandu!
But Chen Changsheng had already reached the level of a Great Golden Immortal.
"Could it be that Li Jing is lying to me?"
"But it doesn't seem like it."
"Could this person really be Li Jinzha's master, whom he has yet to meet?"
For a moment, Manjushri's thoughts were in turmoil.
After thinking for a moment, he couldn't help but take a deep breath, which calmed his chaotic mind a little.
Then, Manjushri looked directly at Chen Changsheng and inquired:
"Friend, what is your name?"
"Which fellow practitioner from the Jie Sect did you study under?"
Upon hearing the question about calming down, Chen Changsheng looked back at him and said neither humbly nor arrogantly:
"I studied under Zhao Gongming of the Jie Sect at Luofu Cave on Mount Emei."
Chen Changsheng appeared remarkably calm as he said this.
But his words struck Manjushri like a thunderclap.
"What?"
"This boy is actually a disciple of Zhao Gongming of the Jie Sect?"
Manjushri was shocked and his agitated mind remained unsettled for a long time.
He paused for a moment, took a deep breath, and forcibly suppressed the turmoil in his heart.
"Chen Changsheng?"
Just then, Manjushri suddenly remembered something.
"It's him!!"
He roared inwardly, remembering Chen Changsheng. Although this was his first meeting with Chen Changsheng, Manjushri had heard of Chen Changsheng before.
They knew that Chen Changsheng was Yang Jian's brother-in-law.
"Something doesn't seem right!"
"Yang Jian's brother-in-law, Chen Changsheng, was also of human origin, but he lived for a very short time."
"But the person before me has already reached the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal."
"If they really are the same person..."
Thinking of this, Manjushri couldn't help but shudder.
After all, if what he guessed was true, then Chen Changsheng's place was far too terrifying.
To be able to advance from a mortal to a Great Luo Golden Immortal in such a short time is a talent that rivals even that of a Primordial Saint.
Lost in thought, Manjushri snapped out of it, feigning composure as he looked at Chen Changsheng and said with a smile:
"Are you Yang Jian's brother-in-law?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Changsheng nodded and did not deny it.
Seeing Chen Changsheng nod, a flash of surprise crossed Manjushri's eyes, while a storm raged within him.
He originally thought that Yang Jian, who had become a disciple of the Jade Cauldron Immortal of the Chan Sect, was already a genius of extraordinary talent.
But upon seeing Chen Changsheng, he realized that Yang Jian was far inferior to him.
Although he was deeply shocked, Manjushri remained outwardly calm and smiled, saying:
"It really is you!"
"I am Manjushri, the Heavenly Venerable of Vast Dharma, one of the Twelve Golden Immortals under the tutelage of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable of the Jade Void Palace in Kunlun."
"In terms of seniority, your second brother Yang Jian is my senior brother Yu Ding's beloved disciple."
"In that case, I do deserve to be called your senior uncle."
Upon hearing Manjushri's words, Chen Changsheng was slightly surprised, as he had been quite curious about it earlier.
What is the identity and background of this person from the Chan Sect who wanted to forcibly take Li Jinzha as a disciple?
I never expected it to be Manjushri!
Chen Changsheng was no stranger to Manjushri, the Heavenly Venerable of Extensive Dharma.
Knowing that if things had continued along the original trajectory, Manjushri would have been Li Jinzha's master, helping him cultivate and bestowing upon him magical treasures.
Later, it played an important role in the Investiture of the Gods and even in the more distant Journey to the West.
However, Manjushri can also be considered a traitor to the Chan sect.
After the Investiture of the Gods, he betrayed the Xuanmen sect and went to the West.
