Demon Lord Nanji remained at Chentang Pass. He did not return to Penglai Island, as Nezha was still young and it would be inconvenient to take him along. Teaching the arts of cultivation at Chentang Pass was just as effective.
Demon Lord Nanji taught Nezha the *Taishi Magic Scripture* directly, though he did not impart the *Nine-Turn Magic Arts*. When he had arrived, Taixuan had given specific instructions: Nezha was the reincarnation of the Spirit Pearl held by Goddess Nuwa. Possessing innate wisdom of the highest order, the boy would be able to derive all manner of divine powers from the *Taishi Magic Scripture* alone. With Taixuan’s directive, the task became simple for Demon Lord Nanji; he did not need to go to any extra trouble. He merely had to imprint the *Taishi Magic Scripture* into Nezha’s mind, and his mission would be complete.
Three years passed in the blink of an eye.
