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

Chapter 165 Harmony is the most precious thing

Explanation?

Longji looked up at the guardian deities: "In the past, the affairs of the Heavenly Court's female immortals were handled by Yaochi. When did it become your turn?"

To put it bluntly, she came to Phoenix Mountain because she was demoted at the Peach Banquet for making a mistake, but in reality, it was her mother who sent her to follow Master Yu Ding in cultivation.

This was a special arrangement made by her mother.

In addition, her mother was in charge of managing the female immortals in Heaven, and the power was in her mother's hands.

The arrival of this so-called guardian deity must be due to the decree of the Jade Pool; otherwise, it would be against the rules.

She now knew who had sent her here with such great power, and she knew that their intention was to have her come forward.

The other party came to check if she was there.

"We were appointed by the Heavenly Emperor to investigate and uphold the laws of the Heavenly Realm. Does the Jade Pool not fall under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Court? Is it greater than the Heavenly Court?"

The guardian deity, unyielding, held up the jade book and said, "As the head of the Inspectorate, I have come to the mortal realm to investigate after receiving the report. All of my actions are in accordance with the laws of Heaven."

Does injuring Sister Qingluan count?

Longji raised his eyes, a glint in them flashing across his face: "Even if what you did was legal, to hurt someone and then leave without a word... is that... appropriate?"

The inspectors looked at each other in bewilderment.

A quick-witted spirit official hurriedly clasped his hands and said, "Fairy Qingluan, this was truly a misunderstanding, I'm so sorry..."

Before he could finish speaking, a hand pressed down on his fists.

"What did we do wrong that you have to apologize for?"

The guardian deity glared at the spirit official, then looked up and stared directly at Longji: "Does the princess want special privileges?"

The air suddenly became tense between the two gods.

"Princess, let it go!"

Qingluan glanced at the gods and said in a low voice.

Her face was very pale, but her expression and eyes were filled with undisguised joy.

The princess has finally crossed the threshold to become an immortal. The princess has made something of herself!
Immortal Yu Ding really did it!
That immortal truly deserves to be called a renowned teacher, a rare talent in the Three Realms.

But at this moment, the other side has a large number of people and is powerful. If a conflict breaks out, their princess will definitely not come out on top.

"Privileges? Ha!"

Longji looked at the guardian deity and suddenly laughed, a cold laugh: "You really are..."

For a moment, she really couldn't think of any words to describe this guardian deity.

Not only was the attitude offensive, but the tone was also infuriating...

Previously, she had lost all her self-confidence due to the blow, and her personality was somewhat weak. She certainly wouldn't dare to utter a word in the face of such a situation.

But this time, she decided to boldly say no to such things.

Longji raised his hand, formed a sword incantation, and pointed it towards the sky. A divine sword with a hilt shaped like two wings emitted light and shot out, with immense magical power flowing into it.

Boo!
With a clear phoenix cry, the azure sword light on the divine sword suddenly burst forth, taking the shape of a flying phoenix.

"Princess, let's talk this out." The expressions of the inspectors changed drastically.

They actually harbored some resentment towards the guardian deity.

Previously, the female immortals in Heaven were all under the jurisdiction of Yaochi (Jade Pool). This time, they directly bypassed Yaochi, which is already very irregular.

Now look what's happened—a problem that could be solved with just a few words is being stubbornly ignored…

"Although the princess is of noble status... if she insists on provoking us, don't blame me for being impolite."

The guardian deity turned around, and the Golden Dragon Sword glowed, swirling around him like a golden dragon.

"have nothing to say!"

Long Ji said coldly, his sword technique changed, and the flying phoenix above let out another long cry, spreading its wings and swooping towards the guardian deity. The sharp sword light shocked everyone.

The guardian deity's eyes narrowed: "Golden Dragon Sword!"

The golden dragon protecting it also let out a long roar, shook its head and tail, and soared upwards.

The two sword lights merged, dividing the world into two colors: one half blue and the other half gold.

Boom!

The flying phoenix and the dragon were locked in a fierce battle. Every time they met, thunderous metallic explosions erupted, and beams of light fell to the ground, causing the mountaintops to shatter and the earth to shake.

Ah... In terms of quality, how could the Golden Dragon Sword compare to Long Ji's divine sword? After only a few times, the light on the Golden Dragon's body diminished sharply.

The guardian deity, heartbroken at the sight, changed his magic, controlling the golden dragon to circle and swim in the sky.

Upon seeing this, Longji changed his sword technique, raised his hand, and suddenly recalled the Flying Phoenix Sword.

The guardian deity was taken aback, but just as he was wondering what Longji meant,

Longji made another sword gesture, and with a dragon's roar, a golden dragon sword shadow soared into the sky, slashing again, sparks flying, and creating many nicks and nicks.

"Does the princess only know how to bully others by relying on the power of the divine sword?" The guardian deity couldn't help but ask.

"Alright, then we won't use the sword!"

"Does the princess only know how to bully others by relying on the power of the divine sword?" The guardian deity couldn't help but ask.

"Alright, then we won't use the sword!"

Longji glanced at him coldly and summoned a palm-sized, shimmering blue magic net filled with moisture.

The net swelled with the wind, growing enormous in the blink of an eye, covering the sky and the earth, trapping the Golden Dragon Sword within it.

The guardian deity's expression changed, and the sword incantation in his hand also changed, as he tried to summon his sword back.

"hold head high……"

The Golden Dragon Sword, once trapped, also emitted a long roar like a dragon.

It kept swimming in the net, colliding with it and sparking, the sound of metal clashing incessantly, but like a fish caught in the net, it could not escape no matter how hard it tried.

Suddenly, the guardian deity was horrified, as he sensed that the connection between himself and the sword had vanished.

Finally, the golden dragon let out a mournful cry, lost its brilliance, and transformed into a golden dragon-shaped sword.

Longji raised her hand, and the treasure net shrank continuously until it landed in her hand. The golden dragon sword inside naturally shrank to the size of a toothpick.

The sword's sides were covered with numerous nicks and chips, making even the guardian deity's eyelids tremble.

"Guardian deity, is this all you've got?" Longji said indifferently.

"Don't bully people just because your magic weapon is powerful..." The guardian deity's face turned red instantly.

I wanted to say something, but I couldn't say anything, and I felt extremely uncomfortable.

"Aren't you going to make a move?" He could only turn his head to look at the inspector beside him.

The spirit officials looked at each other, unsure of what to do.

Only Longji remained calm as he looked at him.

The guardian deities also stared directly at Longji.

It was possible to sense Long Ji's current realm. Judging from the unstable Daoist aura, he seemed to have just broken through to the True Immortal realm not long ago. In terms of cultivation, he was still a few levels above Long Ji.

Putting aside the magic weapon...

"In terms of raw power, I am still stronger!"

The guardian deity's eyes lit up with divine light. With a swift movement, he formed hand seals and unleashed a secret technique, transforming into a phantom mountain that descended upon Longji.

There are many magical treasures... just don't give her a chance to use them.

"Oh no, the princess didn't cultivate her magic power properly before, and she hasn't practiced any spells..."

Qingluan was greatly surprised and said, "I wonder if the immortal has passed on any magic to the princess?"

This magical power is fundamental, and Longji is lacking in this aspect. Even if he masters powerful spells, they won't be very effective.

Just as tensions were running high, a golden light tore through the void in the sky and disappeared into the clouds.

"Fortunately, I caught up."

Yu Ding breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the scene below. Sitting on the cloud, he frowned slightly as he looked down: "That's a Guardian God? Only at the peak of the True Immortal Realm? Is such a low level of strength for a Guardian God a bit too weak?"

It should be noted that when Yunhua was in charge of the Heavenly Laws, he was a master of the Heavenly Immortal level.

"It's a good opportunity to see what my disciple is capable of!"

Seeing the commotion below, Yu Ding didn't rush out. Instead, he calmly watched with a smile.

As long as the disciple doesn't go to the Heavenly Court, everything is negotiable.

"Suppress!" the guardian deity shouted.

The illusory mountain image unleashed a wave of energy capable of destroying mountains and rivers.

"You little trickster, how dare you show off here!"

Longji revealed a calm smile, flipped his hand and took out a small bottle with a shimmering spiritual light from his treasure bag, and offered it up to the sky.

The next moment, the small bottle also swelled in the wind, growing to the size of a small mountain in the blink of an eye amidst the brilliant white light, and crashed head-on into the phantom of the mountain.

Boom!

With a deafening roar, the illusory mountain shattered into pieces in less than two breaths.

The treasure bottle, the size of a small mountain, emitted a burst of light and hurtled towards the guardian deity with a loud bang.

"Princess, let's talk this out!"

The guardian deity paled in horror, his arms flared, and his magical power surged forth, forcefully pushing the oncoming treasure bottle away.

Then... click!
With a tooth-crunching cracking sound, the guardian deity transformed into the brightest star in the sky before everyone's eyes and vanished in a flash.

"Fu Sheng... Fu..."

In the clouds above, Yu Ding stared in disbelief at the human-shaped hole in the clouds not far away, then looked at the treasure bottle.

"The Four Seas Bottle?" Yu Ding composed himself.

He now knows what this treasure is called.

This is an innate spiritual treasure, said to be able to hold the water of the four seas, hence the name Four Seas Bottle. Its weight goes without saying.

If that happened to you...

The jade cauldron emitted a bone-soothing sound that made my teeth ache, and I quickly shook my head. I guess anyone who tries it will know.

"General?!"

The inspectors nearby cried out in disbelief.

"you……"

The Four Seas Bottle flew back and was held in Long Ji's hand as he looked at the spirit officials.

Those spirit officials immediately shuddered; even the guardian deities at the peak of the True Immortal realm...

"Boundless... ah, I mean, Boundless Blessing Heavenly Venerable, harmony is the most important thing in all things, you all should hold your fire!"

As a voice rang out, a golden light fell to the ground and transformed into a Taoist priest.

Master… Longji was somewhat surprised when he saw who it was.

"Immortal Jade Cauldron, save me!"

Among the inspecting spirit officials, some were old men from the Heavenly Court who recognized the Jade Cauldron.

Seeing the jade tripod was like a drowning person seeing a lifeline, and he introduced it to the people next to him.

Then... the group of spirit officials' eyes lit up with surprise, astonishment, and fervor when they saw the jade cauldron.

"Ahem, aren't these... some of the Heavenly Officials?"

Yu Ding, feigning ignorance, smiled and said, "And Your Highness Longji, this humble Taoist was traveling the world in my spare time when I happened to pass by this place and discovered that some people were fighting. I didn't expect it to be you."

The spirit officials looked somewhat embarrassed: "Immortal, it's not us, it's our leader."

"Why are you fighting?" Yu Ding asked.

"It's a misunderstanding, Immortal, this is all a misunderstanding."

The inspecting spirit officials quickly spoke up, as they could tell that this immortal meant well.

"What misunderstanding? Tell me about it."

Yu Ding smiled and said, "If you all trust me, then how about I offer my opinion on your behalf?"

"The immortal is not only powerful, but also virtuous and noble, and twice saved the Heavenly Court from danger."

Upon hearing this, all the spirit officials nodded hastily: "If we can't even trust the immortal's celestial qualities, then who can we trust?"

The spirit officials all praised the jade cauldron's divine qualities without reservation.

"Ahem, everyone is too kind."

Yu Ding smiled, appearing humble.

Beside him, Longji looked at the assembled spirit officials praising their master with a strange expression.

If these people find out in the future that the troubles in Heaven were caused by this person, what kind of expression will they have when they think back to what happened today?

Then the spirit officials recounted the conflict.

"A report?" Yu Ding's expression hardened upon hearing this, and he pondered for a moment.

He had already sensed something was wrong when Long Hao was speaking.

Since Longji came to Yuquan Mountain after the Peach Banquet, only Huanglong and Taiyi knew about it.

Oh right, Qiongxiao also came once.

Furthermore, not many people probably know this news.

However, someone reported this matter, and the guardian deity, upon learning of it, did not report it to the Heavenly Emperor but instead descended to the mortal realm to investigate...

Of course, this matter was in accordance with the rules of Heaven.

However, Longji's status was special, and most gods would "seek permission" from the Heavenly Emperor upon seeing this.

But this guardian deity didn't; he descended directly, catching even the Heavenly Emperor off guard.

It's clear that whoever produced this accusation must be very familiar with the temperament of the guardian deities...

People from the Heavenly Court… Yu Ding’s thoughts flickered, but the Heavenly Court was the Heavenly Emperor’s domain.

With the Heavenly Emperor's divine powers, how could he possibly deceive us?
"Now it seems that this was a false accusation."

The inspector sneered, "We must investigate this thoroughly when we get back and see who's behind this."

Upon hearing this, Yu Ding secretly shook his head, saying that it wasn't exactly a false accusation, since Long Ji really was wandering around outside.

As for checking... it's obvious that they won't be able to find anything.

Given Longji's status, how could he dare to plot against him without some prior preparation?

"Let's investigate!"

Yu Ding had no choice but to say, "It seems that this matter was indeed a misunderstanding, but you all should not hurt anyone. However, considering that there was a reason for it, I will shamelessly act as a peacemaker."

With that, she swept her whisk, and a vermilion pill flew toward the Azure Phoenix: "This elixir can heal the fairy's injuries. Everyone, please apologize to the Azure Phoenix Fairy!"

Master, I have no shortage of pills... Longji was about to say this when his gaze suddenly fell on the pills, and he couldn't help but freeze.

How come...it looks so much like her?
The inspectors knew that Yu Ding was giving them a way out, so they quickly cupped their hands and said, "Please forgive us, Fairy. We were impetuous this time."

Qingluan nodded, suppressing her joy, and put the elixir from the jade cauldron into her mouth.

Longji's expression softened slightly.

"Alright, hurry back to find your general!" Yu Ding said hastily.

"Yes, yes, Your Highness, then we'll take our leave now!" Several spirit officials looked at Longji nervously.

This little princess used to look so cute... I never expected her to be so fierce when she gets into a fight!

That was terrifying!

"Wait, take this back."

Longji raised his hand and unleashed the Mist and Dew Universe Net. The Golden Dragon Sword fell to the ground and was picked up by a spirit official who hurriedly left.

After everyone left, Longji invited the jade tripod into her palace.

Inside the Azure Phoenix Palace, Yu Ding and Long Ji sat facing each other at a stone table, deep in thought.

Neither of them spoke for a long time.

"That guardian deity is not inherently bad, and he is strict in enforcing the law, but he is a bit... newly appointed and wants to stir up some trouble."

Yu Ding carefully considered his words, realizing that the guardian deity was probably just trying to make a splash as a new official.

But if you're going to burn something, at least choose a target that's easier to handle... Is Longji someone you can handle right now?
Longji's eyes flashed as he said, "In the past, I might have obediently complied, but now he wants to use me to establish his authority... then he has picked the wrong person."

Yu Ding waved his hand: "Alright, alright, if you had given him that Four Seas Bottle, he'd probably hold a grudge against you for a long time. The karma is now set. Be careful in the future..."

"Those were my father's subordinates, so it's not advisable to kill them and settle the matter cleanly."

Longji said with some regret, then suddenly looked at Yu Ding: "Master, do you have any ideas?"

Yu Ding was taken aback, then his eyebrows shot up sharply: "What are you talking about? What do you take me for?"

Longji's eyes narrowed and he fell silent.

Yu Ding glanced at her and said irritably, "You're too hasty in your actions. You hit him without hesitation, but have you thought about what will happen if he goes to the Heavenly Court to complain to your father?"

“They started the fight and injured people first,” Longji said immediately.

"Oh?"

Yu Ding looked at Long Ji with surprise: "Then why haven't you opened the door yet..."

"I was bathing, cultivating, meditating... There are plenty of reasonable excuses for opening late," Longji said calmly.

“You…” Yu Ding looked at Long Ji in surprise.

He discovered that this girl also had the talent to become a legal professional!
"But have you considered what would happen if you couldn't suppress the guardian deity?" Yu Ding pondered.

"Then let's fight our way up to the sky and see who's really in the wrong. Do you think I, Longji, am easy to bully?"

Longji said calmly, comforting Yuding, "Don't worry, Master, even if he goes to heaven, it's alright. This time, he broke the rules..."

As he soared into the sky… Yu Ding’s smiling face suddenly froze, and his heart felt as if it had been clenched.

To put it simply, he was initially quite at ease, but once those three words were uttered... he suddenly couldn't feel at ease anymore.

If this gets taken to the Heavenly Court, the Queen Mother of the West will probably invite him for tea.

At that time, the Queen Mother of the West will be able to guess what he will say:

My obedient daughter, how long has it been in your hands, Yu Ding, and she's already daring to come home and cause trouble?

If I let you teach me again, wouldn't that be outrageous?

Thinking about this, Yu Ding felt a headache coming on.

Longji changed the subject, his gaze fixed intently on the jade cauldron, and said with a smile, "By the way, speaking of which, Master, the elixir you gave to Sister Qingluan just now... it looks familiar!"

"Ah, look at that elixir, so red and round. There are plenty of elixirs like that in the world!" Yu Ding coughed.

Longji sighed and gave a bitter smile: "Master, if you need the pills, just tell me. What you did... isn't that ruining your disciple's merits?"

"Merit? What you call merit?"

Yu Ding sneered: "If it weren't for your master backing you up, you would probably already be entangled in karma."

Longji's expression changed: "Master, don't scare me!"

"Scare you? You think you're doing a good deed by giving away those treasures, but little do you know that it's causing even bigger disputes and fights."

Yu Ding sneered, "They might snatch a five-hundred-year-old spiritual herb, but it's not worth risking their lives for. However, a spiritual herb that is several thousand years old is worth risking their lives for."

Just think about it, how many feuds will be caused if your treasures were to fall into the world?

"So many people will die because of you. Just think how much karma you'll be burdened with then!"

Upon hearing these words, Longji lost his smile and broke out in a cold sweat.

"It seems that I was really wrong before, thinking that they would be satisfied if I gave them what they wanted."

Longji sighed, "Next time, I'll try a different approach: recruit them as my subordinates and reward them..."

Yu Ding stared in disbelief, then his face turned ashen.

He realized that Longji's thought process was different from his own!

When faced with a problem, Longji's first thought is to use his "money" to solve it. Is there a simpler way to solve a problem?
Children from poor families, on the other hand, would think about how to make some money.

"Alright, you don't need to go out anymore."

Yu Ding sat down cross-legged: "I see that your methods of fighting are somewhat limited. I will teach you some spells next."

"It's not that it's monotonous; many of the disciples' magical treasures are unique."

Yu Ding glared and said, "You unfilial disciple, when you encounter an opponent, do you only think about using magic weapons to defeat them?"

So angry!
"if not?"

"Emm...we have a lot of magical treasures, but we should also consider the feelings of those who have few or no magical treasures at all."

"Like Senior Uncle Huanglong?" Longji chuckled.

"You're a promising young man!" Yu Ding said calmly.

Actually, I am also your teacher!

Long afterward, in a large mountain.

"General, general..."

Several inspectors followed the trajectory of the parabola and searched for them.

Finally, on a mountainside, they saw the guardian deity lying among a pile of rubble, staring blankly at the sky.

"General, let me help you up!"

A disciplinary officer quickly went to help him up.

"Ouch, don't move!"

The guardian deity gasped, sweat beading on his forehead: "Don't move, my back... I think it's broken..."

……

Kunlun Mountains.

A crane flew across the sky, opened its beak, and a scroll fell down, finally landing in a warm hand.

The Antarctic Immortal glanced at the scroll, sighed softly, and soon arrived at the gate of Jade Void Palace.

"Master, the Heavenly Emperor has summoned me back to Heaven again."

The Old Man of the South Pole bowed and sighed, "This disciple can no longer serve by Master's side and has come to bid farewell to Master."
