One could not help but wonder how a member of Immortal Jade Emperor's clan could have ended up in such a tragic state.
However, this was no longer Jiang Chen's concern. When Zhang Ling finally ascended to the Heavenly Realm and met with the Jade Emperor, the reasons behind his suffering would be made clear.
Members of Jade Emperor's clan, even those reborn through reincarnation, should not be subjected to humiliation by outsiders.
...
Jiang Chen pulled himself out of his thoughts and said to Zhang Ling, "Turns out it's you. I didn't expect you to have such extraordinary luck that allowed you to reach the Mysterious Immortal Stage. There will definitely be a place for you on the path of immortality in the future."
Cultivation of immortality can truly change a person. Zhang Ling was once a frail and skinny child, who also faced malnourishment.
But now, he had the demeanor of a vigorous and stately man, totally unrecognizable to his former skinny self.
