Qingling Celestial Venerable did not take Nezha's strange behavior to heart. He merely cast a casual glance at Taiyi Zhenren, then turned his gaze back to Sun Wukong, who was still unconscious and motionless.
Extending a slender finger, he pointed from a distance toward Sun Wukong and said slowly, "His True Spirit suffered devastating damage from self-detonation back in the ancient era, severely injuring his foundation. Afterwards, he was unfortunately corrupted and eroded by the foul Qi within the Sea of Blood, worsening his condition even further. Not only that, but he also endured brutal interrogation and torture from the Ancestor of the Netherworld. Worn out in both body and mind, he was hanging by a thread."
At this point, Qingling Celestial Venerable paused slightly before continuing, "Fortunately, Immortal Zhenyuanzi came to his rescue, carefully nurturing and tending to him with the purest wood-element Qi of the Ginseng Fruit tree. Furthermore, this Monkey is blessed with deep fortune, managing by a stroke of luck to absorb the spiritual essence within the Five-Color Divine Stone. Even so, it took more than ten agonizingly long years for him to finally manage reincarnation and rebirth.
