Don't let Yu Ding take on any more disciples.

Chapter 121 This time, the Heavenly Court lost out.

Zhao Gongming's standing up in response surprised many people.

Including the jade tripod.

Why was Zhao Gongming the first to stand up and respond to him, instead of Taiyi?
Friends are gone!

"Big sister, you were right next to big brother, why didn't you stop him?" Qiongxiao sighed inwardly, rubbing her pale forehead.

"Forget it, Second Sister, it's just pleading, it's not a big deal."

Bixiao transmitted her voice, "This time it was Yuding who started it again. Don't worry, it's nothing!"

I just didn't expect that it would be the Jade Void Sect members who were the first to plead for leniency. Aren't they usually the ones who value rules and regulations the most and have no human touch at all?

Yunxiao did not join in the impromptu private chat between the two younger sisters.

She maintained a serene expression, behaving like a quiet female immortal, but her gaze was fixed on the jade cauldron with some surprise.

“Your Majesty, my junior brother’s words make sense. I beg Your Majesty to be lenient with me.”

This time, Taiyi and Huanglong also quickly spoke up, stood up, and bowed to the Queen Mother of the West.

Looking at the people pleading for her, the Queen Mother of the West pondered for a moment and said, "Enough. What the immortals say makes sense. Let's not let this trivial matter spoil the joy of the gathering and the spirit of all the immortals. Golden Boy!"

"Xiaoxian is here!"

The trembling golden boy lay prostrate on the ground and said.

"It is your good fortune that several great immortals from Yuxu and Biyou pleaded for you."

The Queen Mother of the West calmly said, "I can overlook this, but you have offended the Immortal Elder, and this matter must be punished. So, I will spare you the punishment of lightning and send you to the mortal realm to be reincarnated, to experience the suffering of birth, old age, sickness, and death again. What does Immortal Elder Fu Yuan think?"

She looked at the white-robed immortal.

Fu Yuanxianweng holds an extremely high seniority in the Three Realms and is also an elder of the new Heavenly Court. He is in charge of marriage in the Three Realms, and even the Old Man Under the Moon is his subordinate.

Although Fu Yuanxian was an immortal, his white immortal robe was as bright and clean as new. However, the table in front of him, which was originally filled with delicacies and fine wine, was now a mess.

This is bad.

Fu Yuan glanced at Yu Ding Taiyi Zhao Gongming and smiled, "Since you fellow Daoists are pleading for mercy, then let's do as Your Majesty says. This old minister has no objection."

After speaking, she glanced at Longji as if it were an unintentional gesture.

"Thank you... thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Immortal Elder!"

The pale-faced Golden Boy breathed a sigh of relief and thanked Yu Ding and the others, saying, "Thank you all, great immortals."

Reincarnation is nothing; dying early means being reborn sooner. But enduring half a year of Heavenly Punishment is truly worse than death.

Yu Ding nodded slightly. The fact that they were spared punishment and banished to the mortal realm was already a lenient treatment from the Queen Mother of the West.

After all, this kid ruined someone's birthday party...

Several imposing golden-armored deities stepped forward, turned the golden boy around, and took him away.

"As for Longji..."

The Queen Mother of the West glanced at her: "I asked you to offer a toast, but you were reckless. You are also responsible for this. I will demote you to the mortal realm to cultivate. You shall not return to the Heavenly Palace without a summons."

Go and cultivate properly with your master, so that your mother can have some peace and quiet.

"Ah, this... is it!"

Longji was stunned for a moment, then obediently lowered his head, looking like he was admitting his mistake and very aggrieved.

"He's putting on quite a show..." Yu Ding chuckled inwardly.

This girl must really want to leave Heaven!
Now that things have come to this, he has done all he could.

The golden boy was also a sudden inspiration of his, and he thought of something so that he could resolve the situation for Longji in advance.

If things really develop as he predicted, then it would be best if he could mediate today, and if there were any causes and effects involved, and if they could be resolved.

If there really is some cause and effect, but this time it hasn't been resolved or anything...

Yu Ding glanced at Taiyi.

In terms of the achievements of his followers, Taiyi was inferior to him.

But when it comes to settling the cause and effect, ha, that old Taiyi is definitely an expert in this area!
He Yu Ding was truly somewhat ashamed of himself.

If we didn't know that Lady Shiji was killed by Taiyi, who would have thought that the dignified and caring senior brother would be so swift and decisive in his attack?

And then there was the incident where Yuan Hong caused the Heavenly Emperor to make the Twelve Golden Immortals submit, which led to this guy mentioning last time that he wanted to cause trouble for Yuan Hong...

ruthless and vengeful... It's decided!

From now on, let Old Taiyi teach Longji how to properly and cleanly resolve the cause and effect!
"What are you looking at me for?"

Taiyi noticed that Yuding was looking at him strangely, and he couldn't understand it.

"nothing!"

Yu Ding smiled slightly, glanced in the direction of Immortal Fu Yuan, and frowned, saying, "Senior Brother, do you think I offended that immortal by pleading for him just now?"

Based on his experience as a bookworm from his previous life, the older one gets, the more shrewd one becomes, and the more complex and terrifying one's schemes become.

Not only do they kill people, they also destroy their spirit.

It's true that Yu Ding is a true immortal now, but his mental age is too young. How can he outsmart these old monsters who have lived for countless years?
Fortunately, his primordial father, like a sun, protected him well behind him.

Immortal Fu Yuan immediately sensed something and looked towards Yu Ding. Yu Ding raised his cup and smiled in acknowledgment.

Across from him, Immortal Fu Yuan smiled and raised his cup in greeting.

The two drank a glass to each other from a distance.

Finally, he poured out the wine cup, indicating that he had finished it.

Their smiles were as warm as the spring sunshine, enough to melt ice and snow.

"No way?"

Taiyi looked at the two smiling faces and said, "You are, after all, elders of the Heavenly Court, with extremely high seniority and status. You should have this much tolerance, right?"

Yu Ding shook his head and said nothing more. He, Yu Ding, had no intention of harming anyone, but he could not be without the ability to guard against others.

Although they have the Primordial Master behind them, it's as if the disciples of the Intercepting Sect have no saints backing them up after the Great Calamity began.

Upon realizing this, Yu Ding's heart jolted. He felt he should go and cultivate; he hadn't been cultivating properly lately.

However, he has indeed been too busy lately. First, the three religions discussed the Investiture of the Gods, then he taught Yang Jian magic, and then Yang Jian caused havoc in the Heavenly Palace...

He needed to cultivate inner peace, but the "surprise" his disciple gave him made it really hard for him to calm down!

Fortunately, whether things are perfect now or not, it's all over... right?

Next, Longji was also called away, and the immortals continued their feasting as if nothing had happened.

Lingzhuzi pointed at an immortal with a dragon's head and a human body and laughed, "Yang Jian, look, that guy is interesting, he has a pair of deer antlers on his head..."

"Those are dragon horns!"

Yang Jian patiently explained, "You should also call me senior brother."

"Don't rush into talking about senior brothers. Let's talk about it after the Peach Banquet."

Lingzhuzi laughed and said, "If I beat you, you wouldn't feel comfortable being my senior brother, would you?"

As he spoke, he looked at a dragon-headed deity in the distance and smiled with interest:

"I've heard that dragons are the leaders of aquatic creatures, possessing features of nine different animals. I'd love to see what they look like!"

"Lingzhuzi, Dragon..."

Yu Ding, who was watching the song and dance performance, twitched his ears and looked back to see Ling Zhuzi with a smiling face.

This kid's already interested in dragons?

Thinking back to the dragon tendon extraction after his reincarnation... it seems I'll have to keep an eye on this kid from now on. I'll go back and write a story for him—"Dragon, Our Friend"?

This Peach Banquet is wonderful, but there's one problem: the program is too monotonous.

Besides singing and dancing...

It's still singing and dancing, and besides the fairies' long legs...

Although it's really good, it's easy to get tired of it. Thinking about this, Yu Ding inexplicably misses the Spring Festival Gala from his childhood.

Next time, I'll find an opportunity to suggest to the Queen Mother of the West that we could enrich the variety of programs at the Peach Banquet.

As the banquet progressed into its second half, the dancing ended, and the immortals were free to roam as celestial music played, each seeking out acquaintances to chat with.

"Hey, Yu Ding, look, that Junior Brother Shen seems to be quite active!"

Taiyi Zhenren suddenly raised his chin and saw Shen Gongbao dressed in a gray Taoist robe, holding a jade pot containing fine wine, chatting and laughing among the immortals with a smile on his face.

He was completely different from the person he was before.

In this grandest gathering of so many powerful beings from the Three Realms, Shen Gongbao not only showed no stage fright or stutter, but seemed quite at ease.

Confident, composed, and approachable... he often made those people burst into laughter.

"To be honest, Senior Brother Taiyi, our Junior Brother Shen is quite the social butterfly."

Yu Ding also remarked that the key point was that many of his friends were immortals from the Jie Sect.

The tense relationship between the Chan and Jie factions meant that people from both sides could easily clash and cause tragedies like his, yet this guy managed to navigate between the two sides with ease.

Immediately afterward, he quickly ate the main dish on his plate, which was called "Dragon Liver and Phoenix Marrow," and raised his hand, saying, "Immortal Boy, another serving!"

Such delicious food will never be available again once it leaves the Heavenly Court, so we must seize the opportunity.

There were other side dishes, but adhering to the principle of "only choosing the expensive ones," Yu Ding had already finished ten plates.

A single peach greatly increased his magical power. These dishes were rare delicacies not found in the lower realm, and they tasted wonderful. Although he didn't know if the ingredients were truly dragon liver and phoenix marrow, they contained a massive amount of essence, which was exactly what he needed to cultivate his profound arts and Dao body.

and so……

Just eat and that's it.

Now, your responsibility is to eat it all and then refine it!
"Ahem, junior brother, although this stuff tastes pretty good, but... be careful not to overeat!"

Taiyi coughed and reminded him, "Cultivation is a step-by-step process; you can't become a Golden Immortal in one meal."

"I have a secret skill that allows me to eat as much as I want without feeling full."

Yu Ding's eyes gleamed, and he laughed, "Even if I can't become a Golden Immortal, it's not a loss if I can become a Celestial Immortal!"

No, this time the Heavenly Court is at a loss... Taiyi coughed and secretly cast a spell to make the location of the jade cauldron less visible, so as to minimize its presence.
