Before Nezha could make a move, Ao Bing freed his right hand, took out the Tranquility Bracelet, and threw it directly at Nezha.
"Bang!" Flames suddenly erupted from Nezha's fists, shattering the ice in his hands. He released the Fire-Tipped Spear and was about to jump backward.
At this moment, the Tranquility Bracelet had already flown to a spot not far from Nezha's hands. As if attracted by something, it transformed into a stream of light and instantly appeared on Nezha's left hand.
The moment the Tranquility Bracelet was put on, Nezha's demonic energy and flames surged violently, and he even thought of breaking free of the restraints.
But a few seconds later, the flames and demonic energy disappeared, and Nezha's body gradually shrank, eventually returning to the appearance of a child and falling to the ground.
"Nezha, Nezha!" Yin Shiniang, her face full of anxiety, rushed over and hugged the little Nezha in her arms.
"My son, how are you?"
Little Nezha slowly opened his eyes, and the fleeing people gradually gathered around him.
As soon as Nezha opened his eyes, he saw those annoying people and immediately jumped up from Yin Shiniang's arms, baring his teeth and brandishing his claws.
Pushing aside Yin Shiniang, he immediately stepped onto his Wind-Fire Wheels, ready to fly away. At this moment, Ao Bing, who was waiting to the side, spoke up:
"Nezha, where are you going? I've come to your birthday banquet. The bracelet on your wrist is a magical artifact that my second uncle and I specially prepared for you."
Nezha, who had already flown into the air, suddenly stopped, turned around and looked down at Ao Bing, then raised his left hand to look at the black bracelet.
Nezha suddenly shouted excitedly, "I am the Demon Orb, I am the reincarnation of the Demon Orb, do you dare to be my friend?"
"So what if it's a demon pill? You, Nezha, are my only friend." Ao Bing said firmly, his eyes unwavering.
Upon hearing this, Nezha was very excited, but then he suddenly remembered the Heavenly Tribulation Curse on his body and said sadly, "So what? I don't have time. Heavenly Tribulation Curse, hehe."
After saying that, it flew away into the distance without looking back and disappeared.
Li Jing watched Nezha disappear into the distance, then turned to Ao Bing: "Sir, the mark on your forehead and the aura on your body confirm it."
Ah, that's a dragon, a dragon race, with horns, and its surname is Ao.
[Dragons, those are dragons.]
Weren't the dragons suppressed at the bottom of the East Sea by the Heavenly Court?
The people immediately started talking amongst themselves, looking at Ao Bing with astonishment. Ao Bing had originally wanted to chase after Nezha, but upon hearing that his identity was being discussed, he became somewhat dissatisfied.
"The Spirit Pearl Mark? So the Dragon Clan stole the Spirit Pearl. I must report this to the Heavenly Venerable and expose the Dragon Clan's crimes to the Heavenly Court." Taiyi Zhenren said solemnly.
Ao Bing shouted at the crowd, "What's wrong? I am a dragon! What crime has my dragon clan committed? Humph!"
"You still say you have no crime. The Spirit Pearl was originally Nezha, but it was taken away by your Dragon Clan, and then the Demon Orb was reincarnated as the Demon Orb."
"Moreover, your dragon clan was suppressed at the bottom of the sea by the Heavenly Court, yet you appeared here without permission. Isn't that a crime?" Taiyi was extremely excited as he finally found the culprit from back then.
Taiyi Zhenren continued, "And the Universe Ring, you told Nezha the incantation for the Universe Ring, didn't you? And you took the Universe Ring away, didn't you?"
Upon hearing this, Ao Bing's face flushed red with anger. He said, "Damn it! What nonsense! When did my Dragon Clan ever get suppressed at the bottom of the sea by the Heavenly Court? Also, Shen Gongbao took the Universe Ring."
"You're spreading rumors! Shen Gongbao is my junior brother. How could he possibly do such a thing? You demon, stop trying to deny it!" Taiyi absolutely refused to believe that his junior brother had done it.
"Bang!" One of them fell from the sky, smashing a large crater in the ground.
"Hmph, Shen Gongbao is right here. You confront him and see who did it." Lin Qing appeared beside Ao Bing.
"Ah, you, yet another dragon. Indeed, your dragon race is utterly wicked." Taiyi was so frightened that he took several steps back.
The surrounding people were also frightened by the object falling from the sky, but they did not flee; they simply took a few steps back.
"Ah, it's actually your dragon clan! Ah, damn it, you were the ones who stole the Dragon Pearl from me back then, how despicable!" Shen Gongbao slowly crawled out of the pit.
Shen Gongbao's entire head was swollen like a pig's head, but his clothes still had a breath of life, so Taiyi Zhenren recognized him immediately.
Taiyi was immediately horrified and said, "Junior brother, how did you turn into a pig's head?"
However, Shen Gongbao ignored Taiyi and glared at Lin Qing through gritted teeth: "Three years ago, I finally managed to snatch the Spirit Pearl from Taiyi's hands."
"And the Demon Orb was reincarnated as Nezha, which was originally meant for your Dragon Clan. Why? Why did you take it from my hands?"
For three years, Shen Gongbao harbored endless resentment towards the person who stole the Spirit Pearl.
Having lost his position as a Golden Immortal, and burdened by three years of pent-up resentment, he revealed everything.
Taiyi Zhenren's expression changed drastically: "Junior brother, is it really you? Why did you do this? Aren't you afraid of the Heavenly Venerable's punishment?"
"Hmph!" Shen Gongbao snorted coldly in response, his eyes fixed on Lin Qing.
Lin Qing said casually, "So what? You? You dare to interfere in the affairs of my Dragon Clan? If you weren't a disciple of the Heavenly Venerable, you would have been dead three years ago."
"Ahhh, I'm going to kill you!" Shen Gongbao drew his weapon, ready to fight to the death.

"Nonsense." An immense pressure instantly suppressed Shen Gongbao, forcing him to the ground, unable to move.
"A fairy every day? Damn it." Shen Gongbao uttered a few words.
"A Celestial Immortal? Impossible! When did the Dragon Clan produce a Celestial Immortal?" Taiyi Zhenren was utterly shocked by this scene.
It should be noted that Taiyi Zhenren and Shen Gongbao are currently only at the peak of the Earth Immortal realm, and there is still a great gap between them and the Celestial Immortal realm.
Reaching the realm of Golden Immortal is even more of a pipe dream, which is why the positions of the Heavenly Venerable's Twelve Golden Immortals have become extremely important.
After all, without cultivation, one can directly ascend to the heavens and become a Golden Immortal, which means being able to sit on equal footing with the Jade Emperor.
(P.S.: During the Investiture of the Gods period, the gods in the Heavenly Court that I set up were relatively weak.)
Li Jing, being a man of great experience, quickly clasped his hands in greeting and said, "I am Li Jing from Chentang Pass. Could it be that you are the Dragon King Ao Guang?"
Lin Qing was a little puzzled. Why did everyone think he was the Dragon King when they saw him? Although he used to be nicknamed the Dragon King.
"No, I am Ao Qing, Ao Guang is my nephew, and Ao Bing is my grand-nephew."
"As for when my Dragon Clan will produce a Celestial Immortal, do I need to inform you?" Lin Qing emphasized.
"You, you, you, don't be so arrogant. Your dragon race has broken away from the Heavenly Court's suppression without permission. This is an unforgivable crime."
Taiyi Zhenren bluffed, saying, "Once I report this to the Heavenly Court, you can expect them to come and suppress you again!"
"Nonsense! My dragon race has guarded the underwater hell for the Heavenly Court for thousands of years to suppress those countless sea monsters."
"When did my dragon race become the one suppressed by the Heavenly Court? If it weren't for my dragon race, your Chen Tang Pass would have been destroyed by the sea monsters long ago!" Ao Bing argued loudly.
Lin Qing: "Hmph, a bunch of ignorant fools. Let me tell you, my nephew Ao Bing has already become the Jade Emperor's disciple and will be going to the Heavenly Court in three years."
"Aaaaaah!" Deep in the forest, Nezha smashed down a huge tree with his fists.
Having vented his anger, Nezha knelt on the ground, sobbing, while the Wind Fire Wheels beside him slowly merged back together, transforming back into a fat pig.
The fat pig picked up a blade of grass and poked it in his nostril. "Achoo!" A sneeze rang out, and suddenly a scene that looked like a 3D movie appeared before Nezha's eyes.
When she saw her father put the life-saving talisman into the peace charm in order to save her.
He slowly took the sachet with the words "Peace and Blessing" written on it from his waist, opened it, and took out a roll of yellow talisman paper.
When Nezha opened it, he was surprised to find that it was the life-changing talisman from the previous scene.
"So, it turns out, Father did love me. I misunderstood them, boohoo!" Little Nezha's tears flowed uncontrollably.
He wanted to go home, so he wiped away his tears and rode his fiery wheels back home.
"Tell me, what kind of mess is this? It was supposed to be a birthday banquet, but look what's going on!" Lin Qing sighed.
Suddenly, a flash of fire appeared in the distant sky, and a moment later, Nezha arrived riding on his Wind Fire Wheels and landed in the middle of the crowd.
He glanced at Ao Bing and Lin Qing, nodded to them, and Lin Qing nodded in response, while Ao Bing responded with a grin.
"Father, I know, I know everything. The life-exchange talisman, why? I'm just a demon pill anyway, why should I exchange your life for mine?" Little Nezha said, choking back tears.
"Nezha, you are my son!" Li Jing squatted down and hugged little Nezha.
"What life-changing talisman? What's wrong?" Yin Shiniang seemed to have sensed something.
Nezha slowly stood up, and with a wave of his hand, the Hun Tian Ling (a magical ribbon) bound Li Jing and Yin Shiniang together.
"Nezha, what are you doing?"
"Nezha, let your father carry this for you!" Li Jing and Yin Shiniang shouted anxiously.
Little Nezha picked up the sachet, took out the life-saving talisman inside, and said as he tore it apart, "I will bear my own fate and not implicate others."
"No, Nezha, no!" Li Jing roared, but Nezha remained unmoved and burned the life-changing talisman directly.
"Boom!" The dark clouds in the sky had gathered, forming a huge vortex. The vortex was filled with white light and accompanied by a huge roar.
The heavenly tribulation is coming!
"Heh, it's nothing big. Three years is a bit short, but I had a lot of fun." Nezha said with a smile.
But the next second, his face fell as he looked at Li Jing and said, "The only regret is that I haven't played shuttlecock with you yet."
Upon seeing this, Yin Shiniang burst into tears and sobbed.
"Today is my birthday celebration, no one is allowed to cry." As he said this, Nezha's own tears fell.
"I've embarrassed myself again." Nezha turned around and wiped away his tears.
"What's going on? Nezha, what do you mean three years is too short, what do you mean by the life-changing talisman?" Ao Bing didn't know about the Heavenly Tribulation Curse, so he didn't understand why Nezha, Li Jing and the others were so sad.
Taiyi's eyes were bloodshot as he explained, "Because the Heavenly Venerable placed a Heavenly Tribulation Curse on the Demon Orb, and today is the day the curse will fall. Nezha, today... sob sob sob."
"You're kidding me, right? How could there be a Heavenly Tribulation Curse? Why not try to break it? If you can't break it, then go find the Heavenly Venerable to break the curse!"
When Ao Bing learned that his friend was doomed, he became somewhat out of control.
"Ao Bing, I'm so glad to have you as a good friend. Playing shuttlecock with you is the second happiest time of my life," Nezha said with a smile.
"No, Second Uncle, Second Uncle, you must have a way, right? You can definitely save Nezha!" Ao Bing looked at Lin Qing with hopeful eyes.
Nezha turned around, looked at his tearful parents, knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Father, Mother, thank you."
White arcs of electricity appeared on Nezha's body. Drawn by the power of the heavenly tribulation, he slowly flew into the sky.
Knowing that he was about to die, Nezha seemed to have come to terms with it, and smiled as he bid farewell to Li Jing and Ao Bing.
"Zha'er, Zha'er!" Li Jing and Yin Shiniang cried out in anguish from below.
Lin Qing remained silent, closing his eyes to carefully sense the power of the heavenly tribulation.
"This tribulation is much stronger than the tribulation I went through to advance in level 1. Nezha, I can save him," Lin Qing murmured as he opened his eyes.
