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

Chapter 166 Junior Uncle of Jade Void Palace
A figure rode on auspicious clouds, leisurely and unhurriedly heading towards Kunlun Mountain.

"The previous times I came here, I was always busy with something, but this time I finally had some leisure time to appreciate Kunlun."

Yu Ding gazed at the majestic Kunlun Mountains, which stretched out in a vast and boundless expanse, with no end in sight.

Every mountain peak here is terrifyingly tall, shrouded in clouds and mist as if filled with primordial chaos, brimming with the primordial energy of heaven and earth.

After the creation of heaven and earth, the first mountain in the primordial world was undoubtedly the legendary Buzhou Mountain.

In the west of the primordial wilderness lies Mount Sumeru, while in the east lies Kunlun, the ancestral vein of all mountains and the home of all gods. Long ago, many innate deities and Daoist masters settled and cultivated here.

It's a gathering of top talents!
As for his status... Yu Ding looked up confidently at the highest point in the center of Kunlun Mountain.

That is the location of the Jade Void Palace, the ancestral court of the Chan Sect. And who is the leader among all the big shots in Kunlun Mountain...? Need I say more?

At this thought, Yu Ding suddenly remembered a saying and couldn't help but sigh, "At the end of the immortal path, who stands at the peak? One glimpse..."

As he was reciting, suddenly his vision blurred and the scenery changed rapidly.

Then, the jade cauldron disappeared from the sky in front of Kunlun Mountain, as if it had never existed.

His disappearance didn't even cause a ripple.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Yu Ding's pupils fixed, and he saw that he had appeared in a palace. The dome was filled with chaotic energy, showing the evolution of the world and the movement of stars.

A figure shrouded in chaotic energy floated in the air, slowly opening its deep eyes and gazing at the jade cauldron: "What do you want to see?"

Yu Ding: "..."

It's a little... awkward!
He suddenly had the illusion that he was saying something pretentious and childish, only to be caught red-handed by his homeroom teacher.

He admitted that he had only wanted to say something on a whim, but he never expected to find himself in the Jade Void Palace in the blink of an eye.

Meeting the gaze of the Primordial Beginning...

Yu Ding quickly bowed and said calmly, "Of course... At the end of the immortal path, who stands at the peak? Upon seeing Master, all is vanity!"

Okay, changing the words like this sounds a bit strange.

But he really didn't dare to call Yuanshi's father by his full name!
"Seeing my path become empty..."

Yuanshi's eyes brightened slightly, then he glared at Yuding again: "Stop talking nonsense. What will your master do if your senior uncles and aunts hear you say that?"

"Yes, yes, I know I was wrong."

Yu Ding quickly nodded and bowed, "This disciple only spoke on a whim and did not expect this."

In this chaotic world, especially when the division commander has a powerful backer.

Then we must follow the established policy.

Whatever the master says must be correct.

As the saying goes, a wise man submits to circumstances. At this point, no matter what it is, you should bow your head and admit your mistake first, and you will never go wrong!
"Humph!"

Yuanshi glanced at him and said, "Yuding, I heard your disciple has made a name for himself again. Congratulations..."

Yu Ding was startled and quickly bowed, forcing a smile: "Congratulations, Master, congratulations, Master."

"Congratulations to me for what?" Yuanshi asked with a smile.

"My disciple is my master's grand-disciple!"

Yu Ding smiled and said, "Your grand-disciple is so successful, carrying forward the Jade Void Daoist arts. As the grandmaster, don't you also feel proud?"

The Primordial Celestial Venerable sighed and said, "Then you should teach your disciples to do one or two things that will bring honor to our Chan Sect!"

Yu Ding's smile froze: "..."

Actually, he was a little resentful. He had already caused a great disturbance in the Heavenly Palace. Wasn't that enough to make him look good?

However, while it may be a good thing to have face, it just doesn't sound very good when it gets out!
"Yes, I will strictly discipline any disciples I take on in the future to ensure that such things will never happen again," Yu Ding assured him.

Fortunately, he stopped Longji.

"late!"

Yuanshi glanced at him and said, "Yuan Hong caused a great disturbance in the Heavenly Palace, which led to the Heavenly Emperor summoning the twelve of you to submit to him. At that time, your cultivation was not strong enough, so your master had no choice but to let your senior brother from the South Pole take the blame for you."

Yu Ding nodded hurriedly, his face full of emotion, and said, "Yes, yes, Senior Brother Antarctica is a great man, a great immortal."

The disciple has always felt grateful to him and will certainly make it up to him when the opportunity arises.

“There’s no need to make amends. Didn’t your senior brother always take leave from Yuxu Palace?” Yuanshi said.

Yu Ding's heart skipped a beat, and he nodded slightly.

"The Heavenly Emperor has summoned your senior brother to the Heavenly Court three times now."

Yuanshi said, "If you have nothing else to do, go and serve in the Heavenly Court. After all, this whole affair started because of you, doesn't it?"

“Ah, this…” Yu Ding’s expression became conflicted.

"What, you're not willing?" Yuanshi looked over.

Yu Ding quickly shook his head: "This disciple dares not. This matter arose because this disciple failed to teach properly. This disciple has no problem taking responsibility, but..."

This time, the slap in the face came a little too fast!
He had just finished telling the Heavenly Emperor that it was impossible for him to work, and in the blink of an eye, he was sent to the Heavenly Court to complete his onboarding process...

As for taking a job in the Heavenly Court... he might as well go, he didn't have too much of a mental burden.

This is not as comfortable as being killed by someone in the Investiture of the Gods, whose primordial spirit and true spirit are listed on the Investiture of the Gods and are subject to their control.

"Yu Ding, it's not that I insisted you make this trip, it's simply because of the Heavenly Emperor..."

Yuanshi shook his head, somewhat speechless, and said, "It's not suitable for your fellow disciples to assist the Heavenly Emperor."

He knew Haotian wouldn't be able to become the Heavenly Emperor based on his past behavior, and the result was exactly as he predicted.

Look at this! The Heavenly Court has been established for nearly ten thousand years, yet it hasn't made any progress. It's been ruined by a few juniors and has become a laughing stock...

Why would a Heavenly Emperor like this be worthy of having his elite disciples sent to assist him?

What happened to the Heavenly Emperor...? The Jade Cauldron Eight Trigrams Soul had just been ignited when Yuanshi stopped talking, and he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

“This disciple is willing to go,” Yu Ding said, bowing.

"To save time... just go with a false identity!"

As Yuanshi spoke, he raised his hand and pointed, and a beam of immortal light flew out, causing Yu Ding's appearance to change immediately.

Emptiness... Yu Ding looked at the changes that were taking place on his body from the inside out, as if he had undergone a metamorphosis.

Yu Ding suddenly realized that he had almost forgotten that he had another identity!

So... from now on he doesn't need to hide his cultivation anymore?
"Void, the heavy responsibility of maintaining the stability of the Heavenly Court is entrusted to you," Yuanshi said earnestly.

"This disciple will certainly live up to Master's high expectations!"

Yu Ding said firmly, then looked up and said, "But..."

And then… Yuanshi glanced at him and said, “Speak!”

“Master, I have changed my identity. If I use the Immortal Slaying Sword again, I will inevitably expose my identity.”

Yu Ding sighed, "But apart from the Immortal-Slaying Sword, I have nothing of value..."

At this point, Yu Ding stopped talking at just the right moment and looked expectantly at Yuan Shi.

Yuanshi: "..."

Traitor!

He glanced at the jade cauldron, then raised his hand, and a purple light gathered on the jade cauldron, transforming into a purple immortal robe beneath its outer garment.

"A purple celestial robe?!" Yu Ding was both surprised and delighted.

This was a privilege reserved only for the two chief disciples of the Twelve Golden Immortals, Guang Chengzi and Chi Jingzi.

Wearing this celestial robe makes one impervious to swords and spears, and unaffected by water and fire.

Although it is not as invincible and defensively powerful as treasures like the Five Banners, it is still a very precious treasure.

This can be seen from the fact that not every one of the Twelve Golden Immortals possessed one.

He cultivated the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique, which granted him formidable defensive power. While he couldn't say he wouldn't need it, wearing it would at least increase his defensive capabilities. Then, Yuanshi pointed at the jade ruyi he had been carrying, which transformed into a beam of white immortal light and flew to Yu Ding's hand.

Upon handling it, Yu Ding noticed that the magical artifact was warm and smooth, having been polished to a very fine finish, and radiating innate spiritual light.

Yu Ding exclaimed in surprise, "Master gave the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi to his disciple... What will Master do then?"

The Eight Trigrams Purple Ribbon Immortal Robe didn't surprise him much, after all, the Jade Cauldron wasn't qualified, but the Jade Cauldron plus Emptiness was still worth having.

But the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi... he really hadn't expected this treasure.

After all, this thing has always been held by the Primordial Father, making it too symbolic.

"I have more!"

Yuanshi looked at the jade cauldron: "I'm entrusting this treasure to you now. It's the matter I entrusted to you..."

"This disciple guarantees to complete the mission!"

Yu Ding bowed solemnly, then turned and walked toward the gate, his robes billowing in the wind.

Two magical treasures, one for offense and one for defense!
Master's consideration is so thoughtful... How can I not be moved?
In front of the Jade Void Palace.

After the Old Man of the South Pole reported, he waited for a moment.

He entered the sect earlier than his twelve junior disciples who are now very prominent. Later, his twelve junior disciples all achieved success in their studies and left the mountain one by one.

So he stayed by his master's side, serving him while mainly managing the affairs of the Jade Void Palace.

To be honest, there was one question he had never been able to understand: back then, the Heavenly Emperor had summoned the Twelve Golden Immortals to Heaven to submit to him.

How did it come to the end... that he was made to submit to Heaven?

I just can't figure it out!
At this moment, he also wanted to hear if his master had any other instructions, after all, things were different now than before.

When he ascended to heaven, there were matters concerning Jade Void Palace, and his master could still intervene, but now the palace is closed and lectures have ceased...

Should we invite Master Ran Deng to come and see...? The Old Man of the South Pole's eyes flickered.

Although Ran Deng is of extremely high seniority and joining Yu Xu Palace is considered an improvement in the sect's strength, and he has the title of deputy sect leader, in reality, he has always been in charge of affairs, so it is just a title without real power.

The White Crane Boy also peered curiously at the tightly closed gates of the Jade Void Palace.

But after a moment, seeing no response, the Antarctic Immortal bowed to the Jade Void Palace and turned to leave.

"Master, take care!" White Crane Boy waved.

He was originally a white crane from Kunlun Mountain. He was enlightened by this person and received the Daoist teachings. He has achieved success in his cultivation and is where he is today.

The Old Man of the South Pole nodded slightly, leaning on his deer-headed staff, and was about to leave when suddenly his expression changed and he stopped in his tracks.

Behind him, the jade-decorated gates of the Jade Void Palace slowly opened.

A white boot stepped out amidst the ethereal mist.

Immediately afterwards, a young man dressed in a purple robe, with a handsome face, sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, wearing a jade crown and carrying a whisk on his arm stepped out.

"You are……"

The white crane boy was taken aback, and the old man of the South Pole was also somewhat surprised.

look unfamiliar!

Then the young man came out of the gate, swept his whisk, and used his magic to slowly close the gate of Jade Void Palace.

"Oh, right..." the Antarctic Immortal exclaimed in surprise, "You came out from inside, could you be the last disciple that Master took in?"

Don't you dare mention the term "closed-door disciple" to me; that should have been Jiang Ziya!

Wait, Jiang Ziya, his last disciple...

A glint of light flashed in Yu Ding's eyes. Was Jiang Ziya so useless that he spent all his time closing the door?
"This humble one is empty-hearted. Greetings, Senior Brother Antarctic!"

"Oh, you really are that Junior Uncle Kongxu?"

The white crane boy looked the jade cauldron up and down with delight.

It's no wonder they acted this way; this junior uncle is just too mysterious.

The unprecedented fifty bolts of heavenly lightning during his tribulation shocked the entire Jade Void Palace.

However, after that, he was taken in as the sect leader's last disciple and entered the Jade Void Palace to cultivate under the personal guidance of the sect leader.

As for what he looks like... no one has ever seen him!
It can be said to be extremely mysterious, but now, this most mysterious junior uncle has emerged.

"Junior Brother Kongxu, very good! When you transcended tribulation to become an immortal, fifty bolts of heavenly lightning shocked the entire world."

The Antarctic Immortal glanced at the purple robes adorning the jade cauldron and chuckled:

It's a pity that I was in the Heavenly Realm at the time and couldn't witness your talent, Junior Brother. It's a real shame. "Since it's our first meeting, I don't have anything of value on me except some dates that I grow. So, I'll give you some dates as a token of our meeting. Please don't find them too much!"

Yu Ding repeatedly said he dared not, but then he saw the Antarctic Immortal pull out the stopper from the gourd hanging on his immortal staff and pour out ten glowing, fiery red dates.

"Fire dates?" Yu Ding's gaze sharpened, and he immediately recognized that these were fruits grown from the spiritual roots of heaven and earth, so he quickly accepted them.

"Thank you, senior brother!"

"By the way, White Crane Boy, your junior brother is coming out of seclusion this time, why don't you keep him company?"

The Antarctic Immortal said, "I have to hurry to the Heavenly Court, Junior Brother, please excuse me..."

"Senior brother, wait a moment, let me say something first."

Yu Ding stopped the Antarctic Immortal and said, "My master has already given instructions to send me to the Heavenly Court to assist him and serve in place of my senior brother."

"Oh... what should we do?" The Old Man of the South Pole was both surprised and delighted.

Yu Ding smiled and said, "This is a trial given to me by Master, so Senior Brother, please hand over your responsibilities in the Heavenly Court to me!"

"Responsible for..." This question stumped the Old Man of the South Pole.

If you were to say he was a subject of the Heavenly Court, he certainly was, but after going to the Heavenly Court, he only became a longevity god.

However, nowadays mortals only worship a few great gods, and the gods of Heaven don't have many followers among mortals, so he's actually quite idle.

"Fine!" Yu Ding shook his head and laughed, "Then I'll go to the Heavenly Court myself and ask the Heavenly Emperor for a job!"

The Antarctic Immortal nodded and smiled, "That's fine too. The Heavenly Court is currently facing a serious shortage of divine positions, but junior brother, we cultivators need peace and quiet. We'll just take a sinecure..."

It means you're just going through the motions, so you're just slacking off too... Yu Ding mourned for the Heavenly Emperor for three seconds.

Of course, that Heavenly Emperor is quite eccentric. We working people adhere to the principle of not working overtime, which is perfectly reasonable.

But the Heavenly Emperor also adheres to the principle of not working overtime... Yu Ding shook his head.

I'm speechless!
He suddenly understood why his father, Yuanshi, had been speechless when talking about the Heavenly Emperor.

"Then, senior brother, I'm going!"

Yu Ding bowed and then left.

The Old Man of the South Pole and the White Crane Boy watched him depart...

"Master, isn't Junior Uncle wearing the Eight Trigrams Purple Ribbon Immortal Robe?" the White Crane Boy asked, looking up.

The Antarctic Immortal nodded slightly: "To be able to obtain the Purple Ribbon Immortal Robe is enough to show how much the Sect Leader values ​​you, his senior uncle. Judging from his demeanor, he is indeed extraordinary."

"It's alright, but a little worse than Master Yu Ding!"

The white crane boy nodded in a mature and sophisticated manner.

“Your junior uncle has already reached the Celestial Immortal Realm,” Nanji said.

Baihe Tong'er nodded excitedly and said, "Master, haven't you noticed that I've also reached the Celestial Immortal Realm?"

"You... haven't been able to grasp the knack for a long time?" Antarctica asked in surprise.

"My Uncle Yu Ding explained it to me, and I understood!"

Nanji smiled and agreed, saying, "Junior Brother Yuding is indeed extraordinary. His talent was personally praised by our master."

P.S.: I wasn't satisfied with the previous chapter. The guardian deity was supposed to be a punching bag, so I didn't write it well and revised it later.

My recent inconsistent updates are due to suffering from insomnia. I can't sleep through the night, and I'm listless during the day. The stress is immense; maybe I should see a doctor. I feel that writing needs to be more focused, and I'm really sorry for always bringing these non-writing-related things here!
