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

Chapter 145 What use is a teacher like me if I don't help my students in need?

"Coming to the Heavenly Court... Why is Your Majesty bringing this up again?"

Yu Ding was somewhat speechless.

You have to understand that in his previous life he was already a 996 worker, and he experienced all the hardships of being a wage earner.

But there's nothing that can be done about it; as long as you're alive, you have to worry about food, clothing, and shelter.

But now he is a god, with no worries about food or clothing, and he has the powerful Chan Sect as his backer.

So why would he still come to be a civil servant in the Heavenly Court?

All in all, one sentence.

He can't possibly work a regular job, let him go to heaven to be a civil servant... impossible!

“Master, you don’t need to refuse right away. I’ll give you the inside scoop.”

Haotian whispered, "The Heavenly Court has not been established for very long. Not only are many positions of the righteous gods vacant, but even the positions of the Four Emperors are still unfilled."

This is an honor second only to the Emperor and above all gods. Joining now not only grants you divine blessings, enhancing your magical power and supernatural abilities, but also bestows merit when you wield your divine position to maintain stability in the Three Realms…”

The Four Emperors… Yu Ding glanced deeply at Haotian and fell into deep thought.

Other deities are just like civil servants, but these four deities are equivalent to the four major shareholders of a company.

In terms of status, he is truly second only to the Heavenly Emperor and above all other gods.

However, the world is very fair. The more important your divine position is, the greater the power you enjoy, and the deeper your entanglement with the Heavenly Court.

Simply put: we all prosper together, and we all suffer together.

When the great calamity arrives and the Heavenly Court collapses...

Yu Ding shook his head inwardly. The earliest position of the Four Emperors can be traced back to the time when Emperor Cangli Shi built the Primordial Heavenly Court.

The Heavenly Emperor Cangli style is extremely ancient, belonging to the most senior group of innate deities.

Under his leadership, four innate deities joined him in building the Heavenly Court, even though no saints had yet attained enlightenment at that time.

After its establishment, the Heavenly Court was extremely glorious and once ruled over the primordial world, a period known as the Emperor's Era.

It was at this time that Zhao Gongming and others attained immortality, while the whereabouts of the Twelve Golden Immortals were still unknown!
At the height of the Heavenly Court's power, Cang Li performed an astonishing act, carrying the Heavenly Court's fortune to attain the Primordial Chaos Realm.

The result... was that he not only failed to attain enlightenment, but the entire Heavenly Court also had to pay the price for his actions.

After that, the three ancient races fought against heaven and earth, vying for supremacy in the primordial world.

Until the end of ancient times, when the ancient demon court was established.

The Demon Court does not have the so-called Four Emperors, but only one Emperor and one Sovereign.

"This one……"

Yu Ding pondered for a moment, then shook his head and sighed: "I am a person outside the secular world, and I usually only meditate and cultivate my qi. However, the duties of governing the three realms are of great importance, and I am not capable of undertaking them!"

Although one could enter the Heavenly Court first to avoid the Investiture of the Gods calamity and incidentally accumulate some merit, this calamity...

Not to mention that he wasn't in any immediate danger, he had already gotten to know quite a few members of the Jie Sect this time, and he had some kind of friendship with those he couldn't defeat.

Those who can defeat them need no further explanation... Joining the Heavenly Court wouldn't make much sense.

On the contrary, the wool from the Heavenly Court is not so easy to fleece. Don't be like the rat in the bottle, only to find that you can't get out after you've drunk your fill of oil.

These old turtle eggs… Upon hearing Yu Ding’s polite refusal, Hao Tian’s smile vanished, and he secretly gritted his teeth.

One important reason he wanted to bring the Jade Cauldron to the Heavenly Court at this moment was that he wanted to rectify the unstable factors in the Three Realms.

Don't let him cause trouble in the Three Realms when he descends to the mortal realm.

The Dao Ancestor may allow him to mismanage, but he will never allow him to do nothing.

These are two different things, and he was aware of that.

In reality, he didn't want to be the Heavenly Emperor.

But he wasn't the Dao Ancestor. Yu Ding dared to politely refuse him, but he wouldn't dare to refuse that one!

"Oh right, how could I forget that? Isn't the True Man supposed to have a deep understanding of the laws of heaven and earth?"

Haotian suddenly thought of something, slapped his forehead and chuckled, "Since you, True Man, are unwilling to take on a divine position, would you be willing to serve as an advisor on the laws of my Heavenly Court?"

Legal counsel… Yu Ding was suddenly stunned. Was the Heavenly Emperor trying to drag him into the Heavenly Court?

"If the True Person agrees, the treatment will be the same as that of a first-order True God, with special imperial authority, and he will be responsible only to me," Haotian said slowly.

A first-order god... Yu Ding's brow twitched. Even the divine positions in the Heavenly Court were ranked.

It is said to be divided into three tiers and nine ranks. The first-tier gods are also known as the superior gods, holding high positions and great power. Above the first tier are the major shareholders such as the Four Emperors.

"Your Majesty, you know I'm used to a life of leisure and wandering, this..."

Yu Ding gritted his teeth, looked up, and asked with bright eyes, "Do I have to work in an office?"

Haotian was taken aback.

Yu Ding coughed lightly and said, "Is it necessary for me to come to the Heavenly Court?"

"No need for that. When you have free time, you can cultivate at the temple on your own. As for the disciples, go about your own business."

Haotian smiled subtly and said, "Just come when I summon you and give me some advice."

A glint flashed in Yu Ding's eyes, but it vanished in an instant.

……

Outside the Crystal Palace.

Looking at the ruins outside, Moang let out a sigh.

Tianyan's expression was shaky, his body was trembling like a leaf, his face was ashen, and sweat was pouring down his forehead.

terrible……

When Venus saw this scene, his face was solemn, but he felt a sense of relief.

Finally, it's no longer the Heavenly Court that's causing trouble!

The White Camel Taoist looked at the injured Moang with a glint in his eyes. Suddenly, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, and he clenched his fist, unleashing a golden light that blasted towards Moang's back.

boom!
Moang reacted extremely quickly, meeting the attack with a palm strike, and exclaimed in surprise, "You..."

"You're not hurt?"

The White Camel Taoist was taken aback. His attack missed, and without turning back, he transformed into a beam of light and rushed towards the sea.

Moang was seriously injured, and if he took this opportunity to kill him, it would be considered that he had done something for that big brother. So he had been contemptuous of him from the beginning.

I never expected that this cowardly dragon was faking it...

"Someone, get him... *splat*!"

Moang's face darkened, and he suddenly collapsed, coughing up blood.

Still pretending... Venus's eyes flickered, and he looked up at the sea again.

The Western Sea holds many secrets!
Above the Western Sea.

A dazzling golden light shot into the sky, accompanied by a thousand-foot-long column of water.

Immediately afterwards, a resounding cry that could shatter gold and split stone rang out from within the golden light.

A golden-winged roc emerged from it, its dazzling golden light flowing around it as if it were cast from gold. Its body was enormous, spanning tens of thousands of miles, and it spread its wings to strike the sky.

Immediately following was a resounding dragon roar.

A black dragon, shimmering with light, roared as it burst forth from the sea. But as soon as its head appeared, a golden roc wing pressed down like Mount Tai.

Boom! The sea exploded with a deafening roar, sending towering waves crashing down as the black dragon was slammed back into the water.

The voice grew even angrier, and the next moment the sea surged, with hundreds of water dragons suddenly rising and sweeping into the sky.

"Screech!" The roc folded its wings in front of it, golden light shining from them. With a sharp cry, it suddenly spread its wings wide. The golden wings burned like divine fire, each golden feather trembling and radiating brilliant golden light, exuding a soaring killing intent.

"kill!"

With a long roar, the golden feathers transformed into golden sword energy, spitting out sword light to form a terrifying sword river, its killing intent astonishing, surging towards the water dragon below.

The black dragon, behind the water dragon, burst out of the water and was about to raise its head to charge at the wicked creature.

But when he looked up, all he saw was a blinding golden light that made him dizzy, along with a sword aura that made his whole body tense.

"What kind of supernatural power is this...?"

Ao Run stared blankly, half from the flash and half from fright.

The Golden-Winged Roc clan possesses formidable combat prowess, primarily manifested in their physical strength and speed. This terrifying killing technique sent chills down his spine.

Not daring to delay, even though the dragon's physical body was strong, Ao Run did not dare to take it head-on, and turned around and plunged into the vast and boundless Western Sea.

This is called the Heavenly Roc Divine Feather Sword… A look of pleasure flashed in the Roc’s eyes.

This was not a divine power inherited from his bloodline, but rather something Yu Ding noticed when he saw his wings molt during his transformation.
Let him refine the molted feathers into a divine sword, learn some swordsmanship, and then combine the two to create a formidable weapon.

Besides, there's the Dragon-Boating Technique... and so on and so forth, he's waiting to use it on Ao Run!

Ao Run dodged, but with each mournful cry of the water dragon, they were all cleaved into water droplets that fell into the sea.

Boom!

These divine feather swords did not disappear after entering the sea; instead, they stirred up towering waves.

"Ao Run, don't hide in the sea and keep quiet. I know you're here. You have the guts to let your son commit violence, but why don't you have the guts to come out?" Xiao Fei laughed wildly.

A surge of exhilarating satisfaction at avenging his great grudge accelerated the flow of Peng blood within him, as if it were burning.

A mysterious aura rose from his body.

"A celestial being?! Are you kidding me...?"

Beneath the western sea, the black dragon frantically shook its head and tail, dodging the rain of swords that were locking onto its aura, roaring in its heart.

In the distance, two figures rode on beams of light, rapidly approaching the Western Sea.

What's going on up ahead?

Yu Ding frowned, his eyes flashing with spiritual light, as he saw dark clouds looming ahead and the sea surging with waves.

Unfortunately, the distance was tens of thousands of miles, so it was difficult to see clearly. All that could be sensed was a great battle between celestial beings.

Could it be...? Yu Ding's eyelids twitched involuntarily.

But how is it possible?
"It looks like a golden-winged roc is making a ruckus, probably trying to ascend to the celestial realm."

Huanglong took a closer look and suddenly flew into a rage, his anger rising: "You wretched creature, you've dared to bully the younger generation of my clan!"

As he spoke, he was about to angrily step forward.

"Wait a moment!"

Yu Ding grabbed Huang Long.

"Yu Ding, why are you pulling me?"

Huang Long shouted angrily, "Let go!"

The influence of the Three Corpses and Nine Worms is profound... Seeing Huanglong's look of wanting to kill someone, Yu Ding felt even more that it was necessary to be wary of these fellow disciples.

"Don't be too impulsive. Do you know what it means to bully your clan's juniors? Do you know the whole story?" Yu Ding said calmly.

"At this point, who cares about the cause and effect?"

Huang Long flung Yu Ding away: "If you see a junior of your clan in trouble and don't help him, what use is a senior like me?"

"You have a point."

Yu Ding pondered for a moment. "That's right. What's the use of a teacher if he doesn't help his students when they're in trouble?"

With a flick of his wrist, a magical rope appeared amidst the light.

Yu Ding made a hand seal and chanted an incantation, and the Dragon-Binding Rope flew out, binding the Yellow Dragon tightly.

"This is... the Dragon Binding Rope? How did your disciple's magic weapon end up on you?"

Huanglong fell from the clouds, turned around in a daze, and looked at the jade cauldron that had finished its incantation.

"Ahem, what belongs to the disciple is also what belongs to the master, isn't it?" Yu Ding coughed lightly.

In low emotional intelligence terms: This is something I borrowed to bring you misfortune.

"Alright, I'm not going to argue with you anymore, Yu Ding, let me go!" Huang Long shouted anxiously.

"Huh, Senior Brother, you actually yelled at me?"

Yu Ding leaned back tactically, looking astonished. He then sighed and walked over, saying, "Senior brother, it seems your calamity is drawing ever closer."

"What does this have to do with my killing spree?" Huang Long was getting a little frantic.

But Yu Ding remained calm: "Do you still remember what Master said?"

"What are you saying?" Huanglong calmed down when he heard Yu Ding mention Yuanshi.

"If you don't cut off the three corpses, your anger will be hard to quell, and your hatred will be hard to eliminate... You were so angry just now, you lost your composure, and you even yelled at me."

Yu Ding looked at Huang Long with sympathy and said, "It seems that the influence of the Three Corpses on you is getting stronger and stronger. Isn't this a sign that the calamity is getting closer and closer?"

Huang Long was a little confused, but after thinking about it carefully, Yu Ding's words made some sense.

The Dao heart of a Golden Immortal is as firm as a rock, and the disciples of the Jade Void Sect have always been strict with themselves. Only the Three Corpses can influence them to be impulsive and easily angered like mortals...

"Okay, I've calmed down, let me go!" Huang Long said.

Yu Ding glanced at him: "Let's wait until this is over so I can find out what happened."

"No way! That dragon is my junior. If you tie me up like this, how embarrassing would it be for a dragon to go there?" Huanglong glared.

Yu Ding: "..."

Just as he released Huanglong and was about to continue his journey, a magnificent golden light suddenly shone from the west.

A stout Taoist priest dressed in strange robes strode in from the west, a smile on his face, and extended a palm:
"You wicked child, cease your insolence!"

This palm strike contained immense power, its resounding echoes reaching far and wide, and golden light shone upon heaven and earth, enveloping all things.

The vast expanse of the Western Sea was transformed into a world of golden light.

This palm seemed to have become a world itself, with golden light spreading wildly outwards, trying to suppress the roc within its palm world.

"Western religion...Golden Immortals?"

Yu Ding narrowed his eyes and, without further hesitation, drew his Immortal-Slaying Sword.

Magic power gathers, sword is drawn, sword is swung!

Clang!
A domineering and unparalleled sword light unfolded, shattering the void and arriving in an instant, cutting a snow-white gap in the extended golden world.

Boo!
The Golden-Winged Roc glanced at this place from afar, flapped its wings, and flew out from the gap. Looking up, it spread its wings and soared into the sky, rising sixty thousand miles high.

"A celestial being?!"

Yu Ding stared blankly at the roc that disappeared into the sunlight.

Another celestial beauty?
It's outrageous!
Xiao Fei's aptitude was clearly not that good, yet he became a celestial being so quickly.

How could this celestial teacher possibly bear such an injustice?

Looking at the sea again, his lips suddenly twitched.

A large number of fish, shrimp, and crabs floated on the surface of the sea, their bellies turned up.
