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

Chapter 154 I'll just watch, I won't make a move.
Longji suddenly stopped.

"Why aren't you leaving?" Yu Ding turned around and smiled.

"Master, the road ahead... I intend to walk alone."

Longji said in a low voice, "Please grant my request, Master!"

Yu Ding was slightly taken aback.

“I grew up in Kunlun Yaochi since I was a child. As the offspring of those two, I have never lacked any rare and precious herbs, divine medicines and immortal fruits. But these are not what I want.”

Longji raised his head and said seriously.

These aren't what you want, but what I, and many others, want!

Yu Ding was very upset. If her disciple's words about Versailles got out, they would probably hurt countless people, but the one who would be hurt the most was probably her Uncle Huanglong...

Yu Ding's smile vanished, replaced by a look of attentive listening, signaling Long Ji to continue.

At this moment, the disciple was neither the obedient girl under the Golden Mother's discipline nor the clingy little disciple who unleashed her true nature after leaving the Heavenly Court...

So which one is the real Longji... or is it a split personality, or are they both?
“I have wanted to leave that environment more than once, but unfortunately I have never been to the outside world. My knowledge of the outside world comes from what Sister Qingniao said, so I both look forward to and fear the outside world,” Longji said.

After saying this, she suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

I felt much more relaxed.

"And now?" Yu Ding asked thoughtfully.

The daughter of two great gods, born extraordinary, possessing unparalleled power.

But she said she had a fear of the outside world... Many people probably wouldn't believe that, but Yu Ding believed it.

"This disciple wishes to explore this world alone."

Longji glanced at him and smiled confidently: "The path of Tao is natural, and it lies beneath your feet. Didn't Master say that you can lead me in, but cultivation... depends on the individual? Whether it's attachment or the heart of Tao, it's up to me to comprehend it, isn't it?"

“You…” Yu Ding shook his head and smiled.

Enlightenment is a profound and mysterious process that can only be understood intuitively and cannot be explained in words.

Some people can understand and enter the Tao simply by looking at mountains and rivers, while others can spend their whole lives looking at things and still not figure anything out.

“Go!” Yu Ding nodded.

"Master, this disciple is leaving now. Farewell!"

With a smile and a wave of her hand, Longji transformed from a young girl into a young woman in her early twenties in just three steps.

Yu Ding smiled as he watched her disappear into the distance.

then……

The smile gradually faded, revealing a conflicted expression.

To follow or not to follow...that is the question!

Although Longji insisted on going alone, to be honest, as his master, he was really not at ease with him.

After all, there are differences between female and male apprentices.

Once he leaves the house, he has to be careful not to be kidnapped, but as a master, he has no such worries about his male apprentices.

Although this was before the Investiture of the Gods, Hong Jin's whereabouts are still unknown.
But what if someone else takes the whole pot of the cabbage I'm growing...?

"I don't care, since they weren't my children anyway. It's just hard to explain to the Heavenly Emperor and the Queen Mother of the West."

Yu Ding's gaze flickered uncertainly, especially given the delicate timing.

Before the Investiture of the Gods!

As that calamity approached, the atmosphere of the primordial world became somewhat eerie.

Some rogue cultivators with unusual backgrounds sensed something amiss and immediately began to relocate, seeking places to avoid trouble.

The Three Thousand Worlds evolved from fragments of the primordial world or were created by great gods. Now, these places have been largely developed and are overseen by innate great gods or powerful beings, making them quite prosperous and peaceful.

These worlds, like stars surrounding the moon, revolve around the primordial chaos.

In addition, Yu Ding had also read in ancient books that many beings had set their sights on the outer realms.

There, the stars are dazzling, and some of them are very suitable for living beings to inhabit, and have given rise to many native creatures!
Of course, these places seem relatively close, like looking up at the stars in a past life, but in reality, they are separated from the primordial world by countless ages.

Celestial beings achieve enlightenment within the Three Vehicles, yet their achievements transcend the Three Vehicles. They are not bound by laws or bound by the Dao. They possess the ability to contain Mount Sumeru within a mustard seed, and the capacity to traverse the void and roam the Milky Way.

But if one doesn't possess great supernatural powers or long-range formations, and is merely traversing the galaxy...

It would probably take thousands or tens of thousands of years to reach these places.

Let's get back to the main topic!

Now, with the appointed time for the Investiture of the Gods approaching, the primordial world has truly become a murky mess.

Longji's identity can be described as quite sensitive.

In addition, given my current low level of skill, I'm easily taken advantage of...

"Let's follow them and see."

Yu Ding silently warned himself, "I'll just watch, I won't make a move!"

……

Above the Western Sea.

hold head high!
With a painful scream, the Crimson Dragon swiftly fled, roaring, "You little brat, Ao Run, just you wait!"

With a dragon's roar, the black dragon swiftly flew over and transformed into Ao Run, who had a dragon's head and a human body and wore a dragon king's crown. He stood on the clouds with an expression as ugly as if he had eaten a dead rat.

Just as he was about to return to the West Sea Dragon Palace, he turned around and saw Moang beside him.

"Father, that is..."

"A low-grade dragon seed cultivated from a fire python? Bah! He thinks he can exchange for my Western Sea Dragon Clan? Hmph, dream on!" "No, Father, I want to ask about that private matter he mentioned..."

“I didn’t kill him. I saw that his cultivation was not easy, so I let him go.”

"Illegitimate children...are there any?"

"No, son, don't overthink it. You know your father, the dragon, and he only has your mother in his heart."

Ao Run sighed and said, "What kind of look is that in your father's eyes?"
When your mother passed away, you were still young. Your father was afraid you would forget what she looked like, so I married those concubines. Haven't you noticed that many of your concubines resembled your mother in some way?

Sorry, there really isn't any...

Moang: (_)
Well, he was already used to his father's character.

In layman's terms, he was a typical womanizer; I remember him frequently going out and flirting with women when he was a child.

He strongly suspected that his birth mother's short lifespan was largely related to this father, who had angered her.

Putting aside everything else, the current third son is the one who seduced Princess Yunmengze and became pregnant.

However, the Yunmengze Dragon Palace held a relatively high position and lineage within the dragon race, and the matter ultimately didn't end well.

It was only through the intervention of his three uncles that Ao Lie was allowed to acknowledge his ancestors and return to his clan.

"Father, I know about our dragon race... but you..."

Moang could only sigh in silence; some things were really inappropriate for a son to say.

But he really wanted to yell at him: Can't you tone it down a bit?

"Let's go, let's go back to the Dragon Palace first."

"Father, the Dragon Palace used to be run by Second Concubine, but now that she's gone, you have to make a decision about the Heavenly Court this time..."

"Tell me your thoughts, let your father hear your opinion. If it makes sense, then I will entrust you with the great responsibility of managing the Dragon Palace."

"..."

Moang was speechless for a moment: "Your subject is still young!"

In the past, this old man would hand over the affairs to the dragon and then go out and fool around.

Now they actually want to dump this on him...

"You... Hmph, you're so useless."

Even human kings would wait until their sons were a little older before appointing the princes as regents.

Ao Run said with a hint of disappointment, "This is about cultivating an heir, and I share that intention. But you've been making all sorts of excuses and ruining things for the dragon. How am I supposed to cultivate you now?"

Moang rolled his eyes inwardly and said, "Then... how about Father and I each take one day and try it out?"

"That's more like it!" Ao Run's expression softened slightly.

With two dragon roars, and two "plop" sounds, the two black dragons, one large and one small, plunged into the sea, having reached their agreement.

As soon as Yun Conglong left, the sea immediately calmed down, the clouds dispersed, and the sky cleared.

After the father and son disappeared,

On the west coast, a Taoist priest appeared out of nowhere, wearing a strange Taoist robe, resembling an ascetic monk.

The Taoist priest first glanced around.
then……

He fell silent: "Where's the dragon?"

Weren't you just here?

He saw from afar on the west coast a dragon-like aura soaring into the sky, which was quite astonishing.

After some deduction, it was discovered that there was a deep connection with the West Sea Dragon Palace, so it was worth considering.

I just didn’t expect that…

On Mount Sumeru.

A figure holding a tree branch stands on the edge of the cliff.

Before him lay an endless sea of ​​clouds, and with a smile on his face, he quickly opened his eyes.

"Which fellow Daoist is here as well?"

No one responded.

Zhunti smiled and shook his head; a mere dragon was naturally beneath his notice.

However, the other party clearly had some schemes against that dragon, or perhaps they realized that its luck was not low.

He was more curious about the guy who took the dragon away than the dragon itself, but all he could see was a cloud of mist.

It's impossible to see clearly...

In the entire prehistoric world, there were only a handful of people who could block his view.

"Who is it?"

Zhunti withdrew his gaze and sat down quietly.

People like them wouldn't easily take action.

Taking action would be too low-class, and provoking the will of Heaven would be no fun at all.

Rather than taking action... people seem to prefer strategizing and deciding the outcome as the player holding the pieces.

"Hmm?" Suddenly he looked down and saw the jade and agate branch hanging in his arms, which was now faintly glowing white, as if it was responding to something.

But the commotion quickly disappeared.

"Is there anyone or anything that has a connection with the West?"
