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

Chapter 169 Asked him when he would take on more disciples.
Kunlun Mountain, Jade Void Palace...

A disciple of the Primordial Celestial Venerable, and a junior brother of the Twelve Golden Immortals...

"you……"

Upon hearing this, the guardian deity's eyes widened in shock as he stared at the jade cauldron. He stammered "you" for a long time, trying to say something but unable to. His pale face flushed bright red.

Suddenly, his throat moved, and he almost vomited a mouthful of blood.

But the guardian deity stubbornly kept his mouth shut, refusing to spit the blood onto the ground.

After all, the Tongming Hall is where the Heavenly Emperor handles state affairs; it is sacred, solemn, and dignified. Blood is an unclean substance, and spitting it out and defiling this place would be a serious sin.

Yu Ding's eyes flashed, and he shouted anxiously, "Fellow Immortal, vomit..."

The guardian deity, who had been holding it in for a long time, was startled by the sudden sound from the jade cauldron and coughed up a mouthful of dark red blood, which landed conspicuously on the white jade ground amidst the swirling immortal mist.

The redness on the guardian deity's face quickly subsided, and he recovered and felt much more comfortable.

The blood vessels that had been blocked due to the injury have also become much clearer.

But he couldn't be happy. He suddenly turned his head and glared angrily at Yu Ding... What the hell are you yelling about?
"Fellow immortal, you can't spit it out!"

Yu Ding slapped his thigh and stammered anxiously, "This...this Tongming Hall...is...this is where the Heavenly Emperor...handles state affairs. You...spit your blood here, this is...this is a grave offense of disrespect!"

Stuttering… The guardian deity stared at the jade cauldron in utter astonishment.

Yu Ding looked at him with an innocent and regretful expression, shaking his head repeatedly.

You're still shaking your head? If it weren't for your sudden shout, I could vomit... The guardian deity was so angry that his blood surged, and he felt an urge to vomit blood again.

He wanted to argue angrily, but he dared not because of the Taoist's background in the Chan Sect. A surge of anger welled up inside him, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.

"Fellow Daoist, please...please do not...get angry!"

Yu Ding quickly said, "Getting angry easily leads to...getting inflamed, causing...blood to surge...and now the High God has already committed the crime of disrespect. If...if you vomit blood again, then that would be...that would be..."

"Thank you for your concern, fellow Daoist. You don't need to say anything more."

The guardian deity frowned as he listened intently and quickly stopped Yu Ding from speaking.

This is damn exhausting. He's just wondering why the legendary Jade Void Palace would accept a stuttering disciple.
Yu Ding nodded, secretly amused.

As far as he knew, this guardian deity came from a sacred place of cultivation in the Eastern Continent.

A place that can be called a holy land must have some reputation, with a large number of disciples, making it a dominant force among sects.

People who come from here often have a sense of superiority... that's normal.

But can even the most powerful holy land surpass the power of the Chan Sect?
Leaving aside the powerful beings among the Twelve Golden Immortals, any one of them would be a devastating blow to these sects.

The mere mention of the Chan Sect's name made him look like a clown, and his own words felt like slaps to his face.

Chan Sect, Chan Sect... The eyes of the guardian deity flickered as he lowered his gaze.

Yu Ding ignored the guardian deity and simply memorized his name in his mental notebook.

He Yuding generally does not encourage sinners, but if you offend someone unavoidably, you should keep track of the consequences in your mind.

If someone ever schemes against him in the future, when the accounts are settled, finding the culprit might not be accurate, but it's highly likely to be right.

This guardian deity had never provoked him, but it was unacceptable for him to bully his disciple.

As everyone knows, Taiyi Zhenren has always been a doting and protective father to his disciples, but Yuding Zhenren is different. He teaches his disciples to distinguish between good and evil and to reason with them.

But it's unacceptable for anyone to bully his apprentice!
Then, he began to examine the Tongming Hall.

The Lingxiao Palace is the place where the Heavenly Court holds court, while the Tongming Palace is equivalent to the Heavenly Emperor's private office.

Although this Tongming Hall is a hall, it has a very large space, and the ground is filled with ethereal energy, making it truly high-end, grand, and classy.

In addition, there was that golden imperial throne, magnificent and imposing, radiating supreme golden light.

Although the Heavenly Court's position in the prehistoric world is still rather awkward, there are countless beings who want to sit in that position.

Furthermore, from Yu Ding's perspective, the Heavenly Court has enormous potential for future development and its prospects are undoubtedly the best.

Joining this company now is basically a guaranteed investment with no risk...

After examining and analyzing the Heavenly Court, Yu Ding sighed once again.

I never thought that even becoming a god wouldn't save me from the fate of being a laborer!
But as the saying goes, since you can't fight against life, enjoying it isn't so bad. After all, the Heavenly Court offers good treatment, high benefits, and commissions...

The only downside... is that there are no vacation days.

The gods on earth only go to heaven to report once a year, but for the Heavenly Court... that's like having a meeting every day.

After several encounters, he gained some understanding of the current Heavenly Emperor and learned that the Emperor was also unhappy about the Heavenly Court's current system of not having holidays.

He even consulted with him about how to go down to the mortal realm for a vacation (crossed out) and undergo a tribulation.

"The Heavenly Emperor has arrived!"

As the ceremony began, Haotian stepped into the Tongming Hall, his entourage behind him... remarkably simple.

Only Venus and a spirit official accompanied him.

"He's back from his lunch break..." Yu Ding's heart stirred, and he bowed, saying, "This humble Taoist, Kongxu Zhenren of Kunlun Mountain, greets the Heavenly Emperor!"

The Heavenly Emperor has truly arrived… The guardian deity who had just finished cleaning up the blood and grime sighed inwardly.

The people from Kunlun Mountain's Jade Void Palace certainly have a lot of influence. Wait... isn't he a stutterer?
The guardian deity's expression turned rather unpleasant.

"You are the Void Immortal?"

After sitting down on the imperial throne, Haotian looked him over and asked, "The last disciple of the Primordial Celestial Venerable?"

"That's the right way!"

Yu Ding's lips twitched as he met Haotian's gaze, his expression unchanged and his heart unmoved.

He had considerable confidence in Yuanshi's father's magic and was not afraid of being seen through by the Heavenly Emperor.

The last disciple of Yuanshi Tianzun... The guardian deity beside him was once again astonished.

The last disciple is the last disciple accepted by the master. After that, the master retires and no longer accepts any more disciples. Instead, the disciples take on the responsibility of accepting their grand-disciples.

Generally speaking, this last disciple is also the most beloved disciple of the master, and therefore has a special status among all disciples, second only to the eldest disciple.

The prestige of the title of the last disciple of Yuanshi Tianzun is self-evident.

"At such a young age, he already possesses such extraordinary cultivation. No wonder he was accepted as the Celestial Venerable's last disciple."

Haotian nodded slightly, then his expression changed and he said, "By the way, I wonder what the relationship is between Little Immortal and Jade Cauldron Immortal?"

"Senior Brother Yu Ding... is quite good!"

Yu Ding felt a little awkward, but smiled and said, "My senior brother has been very helpful in my cultivation, and I will always remember that."

That's good... Haotian nodded slightly, his attitude immediately improving.

You may not believe Huanglong, but you can always believe Yuding... After Yuding taught Longji to achieve success, he deeply agreed with Yaochi Jinmu's words.

Sure enough, my partner has a sharp eye...

"According to Taibai, the True Man has come to serve the Heavenly Court?" Haotian asked.

Yu Ding cupped his hands and said, "That's right!"

Haotian nodded slightly and pondered, "Since you are acquainted with Jade Cauldron Immortal, you must also understand the Heavenly Laws?"

Yu Ding coughed lightly: "I know a little bit!"

"That's perfect, the guardian deity was injured these past two days and needs to recuperate for a while."

Haotian glanced at the Guardian Deity and smiled: "Then, True Man Kongxu, you can take over the Guardian Deity's duties for a while."

"Your Majesty, I..." the guardian deity said anxiously.

This is something that could be solved with just one pill!
Haotian looked at him and said seriously, "Guardian God, you should rest well and wait until your injuries heal before serving my Heavenly Court again."

The guardian deity could only sigh, "This humble general... obeys the decree!"

Then Taibai ordered General Juanlian to summon several heavenly soldiers to carry the guardian deity out.

This has attracted another wave of hatred... Yu Ding shook his head and added half a star to the hatred level of the guardian deity towards him in his mental notebook.

This is quite obvious; the Heavenly Emperor is dissatisfied with the guardian deities and wants to take this opportunity to punish them.

Yu Ding also agreed with this point, but using him to attract hatred...

"This humble Taoist obeys the decree!" Yu Ding bowed and replied.

Haotian smiled and nodded slightly. It has to be said that he had some connection with Yu Ding, and they found each other agreeable at their first meeting.

His original intention was to keep this Void Immortal by his side, first bestowing upon him the title of Imperial Grand Master or Celestial Master, and then mentoring him in handling some government affairs.

This way, we can respond to emergencies when he's not around.

Unexpectedly, when he returned, the guardian deity was still there, and even spat blood in his Tongming Hall... Did he really think that he wouldn't notice if he wiped it away?

"His Majesty!"

Just then, a figure clad in armor hurried in, cupping his fists as if about to say something. "They escaped again?" Haotian said calmly.

The imposing heavenly general nodded weakly and hummed in agreement, then took out some jade books from his sleeve and placed them on the table.

Yu Ding was quite curious about this scene.

"This is his new work... cough, the filth he wrote," the heavenly general said.

"That's enough, go down!"

Haotian waved his hand, picked up a jade scroll, glanced at it, and shook his head.

The general bowed and withdrew.

"Your Majesty, this person is very likely that one. Perhaps... we shouldn't arrest him?"

Venus probed, "After all, besides us, the demon race is capturing people, the human race is capturing people, and the dragon race is capturing people..."

"Not arrest them? Hmph, he's dreaming! Look at this, what kind of 'climbing the dragon and attaching himself to the phoenix' and 'jade curtain lips' are they? They're getting more and more outrageous..."

Hao was furious: "Don't you know how much chaos his things have caused in the Three Realms?"
Besides, how can we root out that rabble if we don't find him?

As he finished speaking, Haotian's eyes flickered; he only needed the slightest movement to go and search.

Unfortunately, the other party was too slippery, and their ability to avoid danger and seek good fortune was taken to the extreme.

Each time, he sensed something was wrong and left early, disappearing into the distant wilderness, making it difficult for him to find him.

Venus smiled wryly and shook his head. The earliest works that were circulated were indeed mainly the responsibility of that person, but now... that person is mostly taking the blame.

Because most of the works circulating now are about humans, using that person's name to develop and create their own interpretations.

In this respect, the human race is far more productive than that one...

"Ahem, may I ask the Heavenly Emperor and Taibai, what are you talking about..." Yu Ding asked tentatively.

Haotian raised his hand and waved, and the scrolls landed in front of the jade cauldron.

Yu Ding curiously flipped through two volumes at random, then frowned and said, "Judging from the writing style, it seems to be the same person, but why does it get worse and worse? Taibai, who is this person...?"

An image of someone riding in a carriage pulled by a white unicorn flashed into his mind.

Venus slowly said, "The ancient demon saint, Bai Ze!"

……

At this moment, on the mountainside of a majestic and beautiful mountain, a waterfall cascades down between two peaks.

There is a pavilion halfway up the mountain. At this time, Mr. Bai, who was once full of vigor and wrote with great inspiration, has dark circles under his eyes and his hands are tucked into his hair.

A jade book lay open in front of him, with only a few words written on it.

His face showed a hint of anxiety and frustration.

He... couldn't write anymore. At that moment, his mind was a complete mess, like a knot in a ball, and he didn't know how to start writing.

However, his extraordinary cultivation seemed to be of no use in the one thing he did.

He lowered his hand and saw that several strands of hair had been pulled out from between his fingers.

"Ugh, it's so noisy!"

Suddenly, he grabbed a pen in frustration and drew a line at the waterfall beside him.

Instantly, the magnificent waterfall seemed to have been erased from the world, as if it had never existed.

"actually……"

Mr. Bai took a deep breath, looked at his hands, and a satisfied expression appeared on his face: "It's still somewhat useful."

"Master, why do this?"

The figure in red, not far away, looked at her master and sighed with heartache.

Originally, this kind of thing was only written by the owner of the house. However, after the prototype of "The Story of Saving Mother" was Yang Jian, who split the mountain to save his mother, made a great disturbance in the Heavenly Palace, and moved heaven and earth with his filial piety, people suddenly liked to read this kind of thing.

Where there is demand, there will be supply... Many writers from poor families saw that this was profitable and joined the industry, writing stories under the names of their masters.

After all, the threshold for this matter is not very high; as long as you can read, write, and have ideas, you're good to go.

So...

Some poorly written works went unnoticed, while some well-written writers made a fortune from it.

This human race may not be inherently strong, but they are truly intelligent, and they have created countless imaginative and ingenious stories.

They made money by using their master's name, and after becoming well-off, they started to set up their own businesses and quickly rose to prominence.

Gradually, as more and more outstanding practitioners joined, the competition in this industry suddenly became unprecedentedly fierce.

Even her master was driven to this point...

The key point is that her master is also very stubborn. As the true founder of this industry, he will not allow himself to be defeated by these younger generations.

He must write another excellent work to uphold his reputation as the patriarch of this field.

The result is that I've been sitting here for thirty years and haven't even written anything... just let her take a look.

then……

Red feather:彡(-_-;)彡

It seems to be less than three hundred words.

"Master, how about... we go out and gather some materials?"

Hongyu offered a cautious suggestion.

"Taking materials..."

Mr. Bai raised his head and suddenly raised an eyebrow: "Master Yu Ding has taken on another disciple?"

"I don't know!" Hongyu shook her head.

Mr. Bai pondered for a moment: "Has anyone caused havoc in the Heavenly Palace in recent years?"

"No, there haven't been any since the Peng Demon King filed his complaint with the Emperor!" Hong Yu said.

"I see..." Mr. Bai immediately lost interest.

The last time Peng Demon King went to the Heavenly Court, he only caused a great disturbance in the Western Sea, which was quite exciting. When he went to the Heavenly Court, he actually filed a complaint with the Emperor, but nothing came of it.

This jade cauldron... doesn't even mention taking in a few more valiant disciples.

Suddenly, Mr. Bai's expression changed. He looked up at the distance, shook his head, and nodded, saying, "Let's go!"

He stood up and took a step, disappearing along with the pavilion into the mountainside.

Almost as soon as he left, a golden light and a red light appeared on the spot, transforming into a figure in a golden robe and a figure in red.

"Damn it, I'm too late again, and I missed it."

Bi Fang observed the spot for a moment and couldn't help but mutter a curse under his breath.

"It's not that we're too late; it seems this senior really doesn't want to be associated with us."

The figure in the golden robe sighed, "To the point that they won't even bother to meet us..."

Bi Fang said resentfully, "Why does my lord still call him 'senior'? He doesn't deserve it!"

He is no longer the respected senior we once knew, nor is he one of us anymore.

"Can't we accomplish anything without him?"

The figure in golden robes shook his head: "Never mind, since our paths diverge, we can't force it. By the way, I heard that the Heavenly Emperor's daughter has been banished to the mortal realm as punishment?"

"Indeed! Her name is Princess Longji, the daughter of the Heavenly Emperor and the Queen Mother of the West!"

Bi Fang said, "I only heard that he was not very strong, and later he made a mistake at the Peach Banquet and was banished to the mortal world by the Queen Mother of the West."

"Your strength... isn't high?"

……

At this moment, amidst the sea of ​​clouds, a white Qilin was pulling a cart, galloping through the clouds.

"Master, where are we going?"

"Let's go to Yuquan Mountain."

Hongyu asked, puzzled, "What are you going there for?"

Ask him when he'll take on more apprentices!

Mr. Bai lowered the curtain, his smile faded, and he turned his gaze away from the direction he had come from.

After the collapse of the ancient demon court, he began to think about the way of survival for the demon race.

From the moment he disagreed with, became antagonistic towards, and eventually parted ways with his former brothers...

The Dao is truly different!
