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

Chapter 170 Friend, do you know what you're talking about?

Hongyu said "Oh" and then fell silent, focusing on driving.

A white unicorn pulls the chariot, speeding swiftly through the high sky and amidst the sea of ​​clouds.

……

The Heavenly Realm, the Jade Pool.

"A mere guardian deity dares to interfere in the affairs of my Jade Pool?"

At this moment, the Queen Mother of the West also received the news, and her expression turned somewhat cold.

Before coming to the Heavenly Court, she was the leader of all the female immortals in the primordial world, and that title remained unchanged after she arrived in the Heavenly Court.

Last time at the Peach Banquet, Longji made a mistake and was demoted. Ostensibly, it was her punishment, but in reality, it was a pretext to send Longji to the mortal realm to cultivate with the Jade Cauldron Immortal.

When a female immortal makes a mistake, it is all handled by Yaochi. To put it bluntly, even the Heavenly Emperor has no right to interfere.

A guardian deity dares to cross the Jade Pool...

Upon hearing this, all the fairy maidens serving in the Jade Pool lowered their heads, not daring to provoke her at this critical juncture.

"Aren't the guardian deities reporting to the Heavenly Emperor?"

The Queen Mother of the West looked up and said coldly, "Go, wait for him to come out, and bring him to me. I want to see who gives him the right to interfere in the affairs of my Jade Pool!"

The fairy hesitated for a moment, then finally whispered, "Your Majesty, it is said that the guardian deity was carried into the Southern Heavenly Gate by his men..."

"Carried into the South Heavenly Gate?" The Queen Mother of the West was slightly taken aback.

The fairy said, "Yes, I heard that his waist was broken and he was seriously injured, but when the guardian general of the Heavenly Gate asked him, he said that he accidentally fell in the mortal world."

"He fell... ha..."

A hint of mockery flashed in Yaochi Jinmu's eyes. For a true immortal, regenerating flesh and blood is not difficult. Is a broken waist considered an injury?

Unless it was caused by a master using magic weapons or supernatural powers, thus inhibiting the true immortal's recovery.

As for who did it...

First, we can rule out her "useless" daughter, Longji. Only a mother knows her own daughter's true worth.

And Longji followed Master Yuding in his cultivation... The answer is basically obvious at this point.

"Jade Cauldron Immortal!"

The Queen Mother of the West's eyes flashed. Entrusting Longji to Yu Ding was probably the best decision she had made since giving birth to Longji.

After Longji left, she felt a rare moment of peace and quiet, and she would never again be annoyed or angry because of Longji.

Gradually, she stopped being capricious and regained her former demeanor and grace as a natural goddess.

The only thing that displeased her was probably that deadbeat, who never even suggested coming to Yaochi to sit down and deepen their relationship.

However, Yu Ding's dealing with the guardian deity calmed her down considerably; otherwise, she would have gone to find that guardian deity and demanded a clear explanation of what had happened.

Honestly, the Heavenly Emperor also bears some responsibility for this. What kind of subordinates did he hire? They don't even understand the rules.

Shortly after.

"You mean... the Heavenly Emperor only allowed that guardian deity to rest for a while?"

The Queen Mother of the West said in a deep voice, somewhat dissatisfied. "Even Yu Ding, as a master, can do so much for his disciple. Look at my own father."

There's no difference without comparison...

"When will Longji be this brave?" Yaochi Jinmu sighed in her heart.

She felt somewhat guilty because Yu Ding's words made her reflect on how bad her past disciplinary methods had been.

She always thought Longji was no good, terrible... but she overlooked one thing.

That means she always uses herself as the standard to judge Longji!

As a result, my daughter became timid, indecisive, weak-willed, and easily bullied...

This is also why she was so angry when she heard that the guardian deity had gone to find Longji.

Because she knew that with Longji's personality, he would be bullied wherever he went.

"Where is the Heavenly Emperor now? At this hour... is he by the Imperial Pool?" asked the Queen Mother of the West.

"Your Majesty, the Heavenly Emperor is receiving a distinguished guest in the Tongming Palace," the fairy maiden reported.

"What distinguished guest?"

The Queen Mother of the West's eyes flashed with surprise.

Based on her understanding of Haotian, during his rest time, Haotian truly rests, and no one can expect him to do anything during that time.

This time, someone actually managed to get Haotian to entertain them during his rest time...

Needless to say, this distinguished guest is no ordinary person.

"I heard it's from Kunlun Mountain, the Jade Void Palace... a closed-door disciple!" the fairy maiden said.

"The last disciple of the Primordial Celestial Venerable... then no wonder."

The Queen Mother of the West's eyes flickered, and she nodded slightly. This status was enough for the Heavenly Emperor to receive her.

In particular... she heard that Haotian and Yuding Zhenren had a good personal relationship.

Many people only know that the twelve Golden Immortals are the true disciples of Yuanshi Tianzun, but they rarely hear about the last disciple.

There's nothing we can do about it, because Yuanshi Tianzun's closed-door disciple is too low-key. Even people in Yuxu Palace rarely see him, let alone outsiders.

However, she remembered that many years ago, a peerless talent emerged from the Jade Void Palace who withstood fifty heavenly tribulations when he was undergoing the tribulation to become an immortal. As a result, he was chosen by the Primordial Heavenly Venerable to be his closed-door disciple.

……

“Master, please follow me.”

Venus smiled and led the way, taking the jade cauldron to the Inspection Department.

"Old?" Yu Ding just smiled meaningfully.

Previously, his cultivation level was low, and his understanding was not profound. But now, with the sixth level of his profound skill, his comprehension in the Celestial Immortal realm has deepened...

He increasingly felt that this legendary "good-natured" deity was actually quite cunning.

As for his old man image...

Honestly, the appearance of a deity is not convincing at all.

At this moment, Venus, who had been leading the way with a smile on his face, suddenly turned his head, looked at the jade cauldron in surprise, and then looked away.

"Master, please!"

Before long, Yu Ding crossed the Rainbow Bridge and arrived at a fairy island.

The island is a cluster of buildings, with a magnificent palace in the center. The main gate of the palace has a plaque with the words "Dou Niu Palace" written in three golden phoenix characters.

The place where Yang Jian's mother used to work... Looking at the Dou Niu Palace, this was Yu Ding's first thought.

This is the headquarters of the disciplinary department.

The so-called Inspection Department... is probably equivalent to the supervision and judicial departments of the Heavenly Court.

Supervise all the gods and uphold the laws and regulations of the Heavenly Court!

Upon entering through the gate, one sees a series of busy figures, all of them inspectors...

Yang Jian's disciple seems quite suitable for this place... Yu Ding thought to himself after looking him over.

This isn't just something he made up. Look, firstly, Yang Jian studied law under him; he was probably the first professional law student in this entire prehistoric world.

Secondly, his mother used to do this job, and Yang Jian took over the business, which is a case of the son inheriting the mother's profession.

Unfortunately, he knew that Yang Jian harbored resentment and distrust towards the Heavenly Court and the Heavenly Emperor...

In short, getting Yang Jian to serve as an official in the Heavenly Court is even more difficult than ascending to heaven... well, he's already in heaven, what's so difficult about that?

"Then, Master, I shall take my leave now?" Venus said with a smile.

I don't know why... when this person is staring at me, I always feel like I'm not wearing any clothes.

Something is wrong!
This feeling is really wrong!

Yu Ding nodded slightly and smiled, "Please make yourself at home!"

Venus cupped his hands in greeting and quickly left, only breathing a sigh of relief after exiting the Dou Niu Palace.

The arrival of the jade cauldron quickly attracted the attention of a group of spirit officials.

There were expressions of surprise, unexpectedness, curiosity, and confusion... the gazes were varied.

Based on the plot of the story I'd read before, someone should be stepping forward to provoke them by now… Yu Ding met everyone's gazes, ready to fight. "Come on! Let me test the power of my sixth-stage profound skill, honed in seclusion!"
then……

The spirit officials glanced at him and then greeted him with smiles.

"Is this immortal the Void Immortal from the Jade Void Palace of Kunlun Mountain?"

Why did it take you so long to arrive?

"Please come in, please come in..."

A group of spirit officials escorted the jade cauldron into the main hall of the Dou Niu Palace and seated it there.

Yu Ding's expression gradually changed from surprise to disappointment... Something's not right!

……

Inside the Tongming Hall.

Venus returned after leaving, and upon his return, he saw Haotian lying on the imperial throne, resting with his eyes closed.

"Taibai!" Haotian opened his eyes after hearing the voice.

“Your old minister is here!” Venus quickly replied.

Haotian's eyes flashed and he said, "What position do you think we should give to True Immortal Kongxu?"

"As for the clergy..."

Venus also pondered: "This immortal has a distinguished background, so his position cannot be too low. However, he is new to the place and his cultivation is only at the Heavenly Immortal realm. If it is too high, I'm afraid it will be difficult to gain the respect of the people..."

In the end, he also became somewhat embarrassed.

"Forget it, let's discuss this later. Anyway, we can't rest now."

Haotian sighed, glanced at the stack of about twenty memorials on the table, picked up one and said, "Let's continue with the afternoon's business!"

Venus looked at the Heavenly Emperor with a surprised expression. "The Heavenly Emperor is being diligent today?"
Before he could even feel relieved, he heard Haotian say in a low voice, "Take an early rest this afternoon and make it up to you."

The smile on Venus's face slowly froze.

Haotian began to handle government affairs, which were the memorials on the table.

Although the Heavenly Court had gathered a considerable number of personnel after the last grand Peach Banquet, its operations still had not yet expanded to the mortal realm.

There are not many gods on earth, and most humans worship ancient gods.

Other deities don't receive much incense offering.

While monsters do occasionally invade the human world, there must be a reason why the human race rose to prominence in the earth and eventually became the leader of all beings.

Not only are there organizations for Qi cultivators, but also support from disciples of the three religions, and even martial arts immortals...

"Aside from the fact that it's a troublesome place... it's still quite peaceful." Haotian sighed as he looked at Beiju Luzhou.

As for the great calamity of the gods, the conferment of titles upon the gods, and the formal control of the Three Realms by the Heavenly Court after the calamity... these things have nothing to do with him and he doesn't want to worry about them.

He had no interest whatsoever in the trivial matters of the prehistoric world.

He hasn't even taken charge of the Three Realms yet, and the Heavenly Court alone is already causing him immense suffering. If he were to take charge of the Three Realms...

"Wouldn't that kill me?"

Haotian shivered. Besides, did everyone think that being the Heavenly Emperor was a happy thing?
You're expected to manage everything, big and small, which encroaches on your personal space.

A casual song and dance performance?
Sorry, these do exist, but the fairy maidens and goddesses are all under the jurisdiction of the Jade Pool.

He wants to see it? Sure, but he has to report to Yaochi first!
To be honest, every day he spent in Heaven felt like—

Every day feels like an eternity!
……

On a mountain in Jambudvipa (the southern continent).

A figure wearing a fiery red bird mask and a blue robe with fire patterns stood with his hands behind his back.

Behind him stood three demonic figures.

One was a rhinoceros beetle demon dressed in light gold clothing, carrying a large hammer on his shoulder; the other was a bull demon with two horns on its head and carrying a long staff on its shoulder.

On the right is a crocodile-tailed demon wearing armor and a vest, wielding two crescent-shaped swords.

"So it was you who came looking for the three of us?" the bull demon asked, his eyes gleaming.

“Not bad!” The masked figure nodded.

The rhinoceros beetle in the middle asked, "What do you want with us?"

"Help me catch someone!"

The masked figure tossed out a Qiankun bag: "There's a spiritual vein inside."

The spiritual vein... Excitement flashed in the eyes of the three demons. The rhinoceros beetle opened the bag and glanced at it, and his pupils immediately shrank.

A small, glowing golden dragon was seen churning inside the bag, releasing a rich spiritual energy that was refreshing and invigorating.

When the two demons glanced at the figure again, a hostile look flashed in their eyes.

The crocodile demon transmitted its voice: "Brother, we've just exhausted the spiritual energy of that mountain during our cultivation, forcing us to come out of seclusion. Seeing how generous this person is, why don't we go all out and finish this job..."

"Consider this a deposit; there will be a generous reward later!"

Upon hearing this, the crocodile demon nearly bit its tongue, but quickly calmed down.

The rhinoceros beetle withdrew its spiritual vein and said in a deep voice, "Who do you want to capture, friend?"

"Fifteen thousand li to the west, there is Phoenix Mountain, where blue phoenixes fight. I want a little girl you captured there..."

"What? Azure Phoenix Dipper Palace? Friend, do you know what you're talking about?"

The bull demon was terrified: "Is that the daughter of the Heavenly Emperor and the Queen Mother of the West, who was banished to the mortal realm? Who would dare to risk their life to provoke her?"

The other two demons also became somewhat unsettled.

"What, are the three of you scared?"

The masked figure sneered: "I heard that the three of you are outlaws with great supernatural powers and high magical strength. As long as the money is right, there's nothing you wouldn't dare to do, so I specially sought you out."

I never expected to see you today... it's quite a disappointment!

"Who says we're afraid?"

The bull demon gritted his teeth and exchanged a glance with the rhinoceros beetle and the crocodile demon: "But this matter is no small thing. Please allow us to discuss it!"

"Please!" The masked figure raised his hand and smiled.

The three demon heads huddled together, exchanged a few words, and then turned around. The rhinoceros beetle said in a deep voice, "If you want us to take this risk, you must offer a reward that is worth our lives."

"Oh, so the three of you want to pay more? No problem."

The masked figure chuckled, "How much do the three of you want? Just say the word!"

"Three..." The crocodile demon was about to reach out when the bull demon, observing the masked figure's lack of reaction, quickly changed his words, "Six..."

Seeing that the reaction was still minimal, the rhinoceros beetle gritted its teeth and said, "Nine spiritual veins!"

"make a deal!"

The masked figure smiled slightly and tossed out another storage bag: "There are three here. I'll give you the rest when you bring the people I want."

The three demons exchanged a glance and nodded in agreement, finding it feasible.

"Who else is in that palace, and what should we do with them?" the rhinoceros beetle asked.

"I said, as long as that little girl is alive and unharmed, as for the others... you can do whatever you want with them!" said the masked figure.

"Haha, that's good!"

The crocodile demon licked its lips, and the three of them transformed into streaks of light and headed towards Phoenix Mountain.

"Three bumpkins..."

After the three demons had walked away, the masked figure sneered, "If it weren't for the fact that our intervention would expose us, would we need you?"

Once these three are caught, he will need to destroy the evidence to prevent the Heavenly Court from tracing their whereabouts.

At that time, the nine spiritual veins will still belong to them.

"Big brother, are we really going to kidnap the Heavenly Princess?"

At this moment, the three great demons also began to discuss.

"Idiot! Of course we should go check first. If we can tie her up, we will. If we can't, we'll take the benefits and run away. Do you think the Heavenly Princess is so easy to tie up?"
