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

Chapter 140 Thank you, Master, for helping me fulfill my oath.

News of the West Sea Dragon Palace issuing a kill order gradually spread.

The reason they didn't unite the North Sea, South Sea, and East Sea Dragon Palaces was that the three fathers and sons decided that the Golden-Winged Roc hadn't grown up yet, and the West Sea Dragon Palace could handle it completely.

Even in its decline, the dragon race once had an incredibly glorious and illustrious history...

It is true that the Golden-Winged Roc is a powerful bird of prey, but among those of the same realm, those with the true dragon bloodline have never been afraid of anyone.

At the same time, the West Sea offered a high reward: whoever could provide information about the enemy would be rewarded with some dragon clan secret techniques, dragon blood treasure trees, and other valuable items.

The West Sea released images of Shen Yun, but did not reveal the identity of the little roc.

After all, the two ferocious demons, Yu Yixian and Yun Cheng Wanlipeng, are not to be trifled with. Hearing that their own kind has appeared, they might cause trouble and ruin things.

Upon hearing the news of the bounty offered in the Western Sea, many demons, human cultivators, and others were tempted and took action.

It's not like they're doing anything themselves; they're just providing information and they'll get benefits, maybe even gaining the friendship of the West Sea Dragon Palace.

This deal... is incredibly worthwhile!

Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse. Apart from the Three Religions and the Heavenly Court, who else dares to say that the Dragon Clan's accumulated wealth and resources from ancient times can compare to them?
These rich cultural heritages are also very enviable.

However, they all understood one thing: the lack of experts in the Four Seas Dragon Palace did not mean that the Dragon Clan lacked experts.

The Azure Dragon guarding the East, the Yellow Dragon among the Twelve Golden Immortals of Jade Void...

Furthermore, the claim that the Dragon Palace has no masters is relative.

Besides the Heavenly Court and the Three Teachings

Who else dares to disregard the Dragon Palace of the Four Seas?
No experts? Give it a try!
……

Yuquan Mountain.

Outside the mountains, dark clouds had gathered and a torrential downpour had begun.

Yuquan Mountain is a picturesque place with clear waters, lush mountains, and fragrant flowers, a vibrant and blessed land.

This rain seemed to have deliberately bypassed Yuquan Mountain, making the inside and outside feel like two different worlds.

Qingyun sat on the edge of the cliff, his legs dangling down the cliff and kicking them. He rested his face on his hands and stared blankly at the torrential rain outside the mountain.

The rain came and went quickly; soon after, the sky cleared and a rainbow hung in the sky.

Qingyun gazed at the rainbow bridge, sighed wistfully, and stood up to leave.

But as soon as he turned around, his expression suddenly changed: "Ah?!"

Beside him, Yu Ding sat cross-legged on the large blue stone, meditating with his eyes closed.

"What the hell are you yelling about?"

Yu Ding frowned, opened his eyes, and said, "Do you think I'd eat you?"

Qingyun chuckled dryly and cautiously leaned closer: "Master... Master, when did you arrive?"

"Not long!"

Yu Ding said, "I called you twice and you didn't respond, so I came out to check."

Qingyun's expression changed drastically, and he quickly said, "Master, please forgive me. I will never dare to daydream or lose focus again."

"This will never happen again!"

Yu Ding said calmly, looked up at the Rainbow Bridge, and after a moment of silence, said, "Am I not being a very responsible teacher?"

He looked at the boy as he spoke.

Qingyun was taken aback and quickly said, "Why do you say that, Master? You have been very kind to us. You answer all our questions and even taught us supernatural powers and techniques."

Perhaps I have disappointed you. You said that my Yuquan Mountain lineage is never inferior to anyone, and that I am probably the least talented among Yuquan Mountain's disciples, not as good as Senior Brother Yang Jian, Senior Sister Yang Chan, or even that little fat chicken..."

He sounded deeply remorseful at the end.

Did I... say that?

Yu Ding was slightly taken aback and looked at Qing Yun, who was blaming himself, with suspicion.

Besides, are you sure you didn't misremember?
I'm referring to the Jade Void lineage, which is never inferior to anyone, right?

Also, who are you comparing yourself to? It's not good to compare yourself to Yang Jian.

That kid got the protagonist's script, and he's like a chosen one. Even the Golden Immortal was fighting tooth and nail to take him as a disciple. How can you compare to him?

Yang Chan is no match for Yang Jian, but her luck is also very strong. Xiao Fei is a Golden-Winged Roc that has returned to its ancestral form. How can you compare to them?
"Sir, how is Xiaofei doing now?"

Qingyun sighed and said, "I don't know why, but I feel a bit uneasy and restless today."

"Don't worry, have you forgotten the divination I gave him when he left?" Yu Ding smiled.

"It's precisely because of your divination that I'm so worried..." Qingyun silently grumbled to himself, nodded, and got up to leave to cultivate.

“Xiao Fei…” Yu Ding’s smile faded, and he sighed.

It's really worrying. Fortunately, he has an avatar in Heaven to oversee things and prevent any further entanglement with Heaven.

"Let's go check out the lotus pond behind the mountain. Why hasn't this broken lamp been born yet..."

Yu Ding stood up, feeling a bit of a headache. He took a step forward and began to use his profound energy to drift away.

Boo!
Suddenly, a crane's cry rang out.

A white crane flapped its wings and flew in.

"White Crane Boy?" Yu Ding laughed.

A white crane, carrying a scroll in its beak, flew past Yu Ding with its mouth open, causing the scroll to fall from mid-air towards the cliff.

"Uncle-Master Yu Ding, this is the decree given to you by the Master."

The white crane boy laughed in mid-air, flapped his wings, and disappeared into the sky.

"White Crane, won't you sit down?" Yu Ding asked.

"No, the master told me to return as soon as I finish delivering it."

The white crane flapped its wings and flew away: "Not lingering for even a moment."

At this moment, the scroll floated down in front of the jade cauldron.

"Never stopping for a moment, what the hell?"

Yu Ding reached his hand out from the cliff and caught the scroll, intending to open it and read it.

"Oh crap, this is bad..."

But as soon as he grabbed Yu Ding, his expression changed drastically. He felt as heavy as Mount Kunlun, and it was pulling him straight down the cliff.

He tried to shake it off, but the decree was like super glue that he couldn't shake off.

boom!
A heavy thud came from below the cliff.

"what sound?"

Hearing the commotion, Qingyun rushed over and glanced around the Golden Cloud Cave, then paused, exclaiming, "Huh, where's Master?"

Whoosh... At that moment, a glowing passage extended from the clouds and a figure arrived in an instant.

"Hahaha, Qingyun, where's your master?"

Huang Long was quite spirited.

Qingyun asked in bewilderment, "They were just here a moment ago, maybe... they went back to their cave!"

"understood."

Huang Long walked straight towards Yu Ding: "Yu Ding, Yu Ding, let me tell you, I've swallowed my anger too..."

At this moment, Master Yuding lay at the bottom of the cliff in a "big" shape, looking bewildered. The stone beneath him was crushed into pieces, cracking like a spider web.

Of course, he was perfectly fine.

Even if he didn't cultivate a Dao Body, let alone have a fifth-level Dao Body, it wouldn't matter. But if a god fell from the sky and died, that would be a real disaster.

only……

Yu Ding glanced at the imperial edict and suddenly understood something.

"Longji misled me..." Yu Ding quickly got up from the ground, dusted off his Taoist robe, bowed respectfully towards Kunlun Mountain, and said with a twitching mouth, "Thank you, Master, for helping your disciple... I'm fulfilling my vow!"

He knew that one shouldn't make oaths or vows lightly in this world, after all, there were ancestral masters above one's head, and they might come true.

He really didn't want to take on any disciples back then, but the Queen Mother of the West offered him too much.

I forgot about it later.

If we continue to forget, who knows what will happen?
……

The little flying creature sat cross-legged atop the mountain, its expression serene, golden divine light flowing around it.

Suddenly, a strong wind blew up, and along with it appeared a densely packed army from the Western Sea, as well as some demon and human cultivators.

The leader was Ao Rong.

Beside Ao Rong were two middle-aged men, exuding a strong aura of immortality.

"You've managed to hide these days."

Holding a folding fan, Ao Rong sighed, "It's a pity, though, that it was still found."

"True immortals..." Xiao Fei looked at the two middle-aged men next to Ao Rong and felt a chill in his heart. He then looked around and his expression became even colder.

He was being pursued by Xihai these days and had begun his escape.

To his astonishment, the Western Sea could track him down no matter where he went, and then he learned that the Dragon Palace had issued a bounty. "Second Prince, what do you think? Is it him?"

A dog demon smiled obsequiously, "Is this the person you're looking for?"

"Yes, that's him, absolutely."

Ao Rong smiled smugly and said, "Don't worry, once this matter is resolved and we return to the Dragon Palace, I will certainly treat you well."

"Are you so sure... you've got me figured out?" Xiao Fei said calmly.

Ao Rong covered his face with his fan and said, "Otherwise what? Little guy, you're still too young. I really don't know who taught you to be so naive."

In the end, he probably found it funny and laughed.

"young……"

Xiao Fei remained calm, and he did not deny it.

He was indeed too young and lacked understanding of the outside world, which led him to ask some... foolish questions.

But there is no fighting, no life-or-death struggle, no survival of the fittest on Jade Spring Mountain, and the master is kind to his disciples and the brothers live in harmony... Is there something wrong with his question?

No problem at all, the problem is the state of the world outside.

However, this did not prevent Yuquan Mountain from becoming the pure land in his heart, preserving the beauty in his heart.

Upon hearing the following words, Xiao Fei's golden eyes turned sharp: "How dare you insult my mentor?"

"So what if I humiliated you? I've shown you that you don't even understand the world. You're just a mediocre teacher. Alright, go in peace!"

Ao Rong shook his head and retreated behind the two middle-aged men.

"You talk a good game, but you don't dare to make a move. You only know how to retreat behind the experts. It seems that's all you're capable of."

The two middle-aged men exchanged a glance, and suddenly, they lunged forward to attack.

At the same time, a true immortal-level aura suddenly erupted.

"Mo Peng, how dare you harm my Second Prince of the Western Sea! Your crime is unforgivable, you shall die!" a middle-aged man shouted.

I... made a move against the Second Prince of the Western Sea... Xiao Fei looked at the boy who was sneering at him.

Gradually, I came to understand something.

The dragon accuses first...

Staring at Ao Rong, Xiao Fei gradually felt the Peng blood within his body boiling with anger, and an intense killing intent rose uncontrollably, wanting to tear everyone present apart.

This didn't make him feel uncomfortable at all; on the contrary, it was as if his innate instincts had been awakened.

The two True Immortal-level Dragon Palace elders who rushed to attack...
Boo!
Xiao Fei raised his head and transformed into a golden-winged roc, letting out a defiant and fearless cry. He soared into the sky, flying higher and higher.

The sunlight shone on its golden feathers, making them appear as if flowing with golden light.

It was at this moment that his true nature was unleashed...

Before descending the mountain, he had no ambitions. He only wanted to reunite with his parents, cultivate diligently, and attain enlightenment, just like the Winged Immortal the teacher had mentioned.

But now...

"Teacher, I don't want to achieve any enlightenment anymore."

Dragons are divine beasts and totems of humans, yet they are so ferocious. Heavenly generals who attained enlightenment still devoured their parents... What is the difference between gods and demons?
What use is such a perfect result to him?
If the law of this world is the survival of the fittest...

Then he will become a strongman!
"Chase him! Don't let him get away!" Ao Rong shouted.

Before he could finish speaking, oppressive dark clouds appeared in the sky, crackling with lightning.

"This is... the tribulation to become an immortal?"

Everyone's expression changed drastically.

Even the two Dragon Palace elders' expressions changed drastically, and they quickly retreated, not daring to get involved.

"Second Prince, what should we do?"

"The tribulation to become an immortal? He's actually going to undergo the tribulation? How can he possibly undergo the tribulation?"

Ao Rong stared intently at the lightning tribulation above, his expression a mix of shock, anger, and jealousy, and gritted his teeth, saying, "Wait, the tribulation will exhaust his power, and the time after the tribulation will be his most vulnerable..."

He is a direct descendant of the Western Sea, and the bloodline he inherited from his ancestors gives him immense pride.

This bloodline is no less than that of the Golden-Winged Roc.

But he hasn't even faced the tribulation to become an immortal yet, and this golden-winged bird is undergoing its tribulation right in front of him...

"Wait, why are the tribulation clouds heading towards us?"

Suddenly someone said, "Damn it, something's wrong, run..."

Ao Rong raised his head, his expression changing drastically. He saw a golden light coming straight towards them from the vast cloud of tribulation.

"Hahaha……"

A burst of unrestrained laughter echoed from within the golden light.

As soon as the golden light moved, the tribulation clouds naturally followed suit.

If someone were to compete with the Golden-Winged Roc in speed... in a flash, golden light arrived instantly, engulfing countless people and horses with the clouds of tribulation.

……

Heavenly Court, Tongming Hall.

Haotian chatted with Yuding for a while, then suddenly stood up, stretched, and said with a smile, "Time's up."

"What's here?" Yu Ding was taken aback.

Haotian smiled and stepped out from behind the table, stretching his waist and massaging his legs and shoulders, saying, "Of course it's time to rest. I've been sitting here all day, I'm really exhausted."

Yu Ding: "???"

He leaves as soon as he gets off work... Does this Heavenly Emperor also adhere to the principle of not working overtime?
But this is wrong!
Employees adhere to the principle of not working overtime because they are working for the boss, not for themselves. But aren't you, the Heavenly Emperor, the boss of the Heavenly Court?
"Come, Your Excellency, accompany me to relax a bit."

Haotian invited him with a smile.

Is this relaxation a proper relaxation...? Yu Ding raised an eyebrow, then remembered that the Queen Mother of the West was also in the Jade Pool in heaven, so it must be a proper relaxation.

"His Majesty……"

When they went out, a fairy maiden was already waiting outside the Tongming Hall.

"Hey, why are you still here?"

Haotian coughed and said, "This Jade Cauldron Immortal is a distinguished guest of the Heavenly Court and needs my company. Go and tell the Empress that I am currently unavailable."

Yu Ding: “(￣ー￣)”

I have this strange feeling of being used as a tool or a shield.

The fairy glanced at the jade cauldron, dared not say anything more, and quickly retreated.

After Haotian dismissed the fairy maiden, he was met with Yu Ding's speechless gaze.

With a dry laugh, Haotian said, "Ahem, I apologize for making you laugh, Immortal Yuding."

"I understand!"

Yu Ding gave a polite reply.

Upon hearing this, Haotian's eyes lit up: "Oh, could it be that the immortal is also lonely and is planning to find a Daoist partner?"
However, as someone who has been through this, well, I still advise the immortal to be very careful.

Mortals live a lifetime of a hundred years, which is why they love each other so passionately. But if you let them date for ten thousand years, no, let's see what happens, they definitely wouldn't be able to handle it..."

Jade Cauldron: "(O_O)?"

Disciple's father, please uphold the image of your Heavenly Emperor.

It's on the verge of collapse.

……

Boundary.

The dark, oppressive clouds had dissipated, but wisps of black smoke still lingered in the air, and there were about forty smoking black pits on the ground.

In addition, there were the remains of fish, shrimp, crabs, foxes, dogs, and wolves, some of which were even chopped into ashes.

"Don't...don't come over..."

Ao Rong sat on the ground, his body emitting black smoke, and the flowing immortal energy was cleansing his physical body.

If it weren't for the protective treasures and the formidable physical strength of the dragon race, he would definitely be dead this time.

Thirty-six bolts of heavenly lightning!
At this moment, he also turned misfortune into blessing and passed the tribulation to become an immortal, but he did not feel the joy of successfully passing the tribulation.

Because that mortal enemy had just undergone tribulation, and it seemed like he was struck by forty-six, forty-seven, or forty-eight heavenly lightning bolts... He was struck by so many that he couldn't count them all, but it was absolutely astonishing.

It should be noted that even when Moang, the most talented person in the Western Sea, underwent the tribulation of becoming an immortal, he only faced forty-two heavenly lightning strikes.

Xiao Fei stared at him quietly, then suddenly laughed: "Survival of the fittest...isn't that what you said!"

"Stop!" A divine dragon roared from afar.

Xiao Fei glanced at the dragon, opened his mouth, and swallowed Ao Rong whole.

Then he bowed in the direction of Yuquan Mountain and said, "This disciple has broken the precept against killing today."

P.S.: Sorry for the late update. I've been busy with exams these past few days and haven't had time to update. I'll be updating again tonight. I'm so sorry.
