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

Chapter 182 One thought he wouldn't dare take the challenge, the other thought he could do it.
Upon hearing the golden-robed youth's words, even the statue fell silent.

"If the position of my father's uncle were held by a more capable person... even if I were extremely dissatisfied, I would never feel this resentful."

The young man's golden eyes gleamed: "But if it were this person now... I would never accept it, and I would have to fight for it no matter what."

Moreover, the ancient demon court has now been destroyed. How glorious it was for our clan to rule the prehistoric world! We once protected all races and mediated their disputes. We have made great contributions to the prehistoric world!
But now they can only cower in a corner of Beiju Luzhou, suppressed by the Heavenly Court and the human race. Your Majesty, can you really bear to see this?

But all he received in response was a long silence.

"The Great Dao is fifty, and the Heavenly Evolution is forty-nine. A sliver of hope is left for all living beings to contend for. If they can win, it is fate; if they cannot, it is destiny."

Seeing this, the young man in gold turned around and said, "Alright, since Your Majesty is in a difficult position, then this junior will not force you. But for the sake of my clan, this junior does not care about the future outcome, but only asks to have a clear conscience."

After saying this, he turned and left the palace.

Looking out at the vast world, I couldn't help but shake my head and sigh.

……

Yuquan Mountain, Jinxia Cave.

A streak of light flew over and landed in front of the Golden Cloud Cave, transforming into the appearance of Shen Gongbao. He glanced at the cave entrance and asked, "Is Senior Brother Yu Ding here?"

Inside the Golden Cloud Cave, Taiyi and the others, who had just placed their bets and were watching the aerial battle, exchanged glances.

Then they all looked at the jade cauldron without prior arrangement.

"Looking for you!"

"Where did Qingyun run off to? I think he's really asking for trouble..."

Yu Ding snorted inwardly, but could only get up and go to greet him personally.

"Junior Brother Shen?" As soon as they reached the cave entrance, Yu Ding was both surprised and delighted: "Why are you here?"

“I met Yun Zhongzi in the Kunlun Mountains before and he left in a hurry. Only after asking did I learn that it was my senior brother who had summoned me.”

Shen Gongbao smiled helplessly, "I came here to help Senior Brother Yun Zhongzi, but I couldn't find you in the end. I can only try my luck at Yuquan Mountain."

"Is that so? Then it's really my fault, junior brother. I'm sorry you had to travel so far." Yu Ding said in realization.

He was also wondering how Shen Gongbao had found him when he had never shaken his hand.

Although this junior brother's cultivation level was lower, he was still very happy to hear that Shen Gongbao had come specifically to help him.

Boom!

As they were talking, a sharp sword light slashed down from the clouds in the sky.

"Brother, be careful!"

Shen Gongbao was shocked and was about to step forward.

"Junior brother, don't be afraid, it's alright."

Yu Ding watched the descending sword energy and smiled faintly. Sure enough, the sword light was blocked by the light barrier after it fell, only slightly denting the barrier.

"Senior brother, who exactly are those powerful beings fighting up there?"

Shen Gongbao asked in a deep voice, "They are indeed formidable, but to fight in Senior Brother's dojo is to show no respect for him. This is too much. I will go and tell them to stop."

As he spoke, Shen Gongbao rolled up his sleeves, ready to go up and mediate the fight.

"Junior brother, wait a minute, don't worry about it."

Yu Ding pulled Shen Gongbao aside and laughed, "Let those two juniors fight it out themselves. With me here, this Jade Spring Mountain won't collapse."

"Junior?"

Shen Gongbao stared blankly at the jade cauldron: "Could they be my senior brother's..."

Yu Ding glanced at the sky, raised his hand and coughed lightly, then waved his hand casually and said, "These two are two good-for-nothing disciples that I trained in my spare time. If they haven't mastered any of the Taoist arts, please don't laugh at them, junior brother."

Shen Gongbao looked at the sky and then at the jade tripod: "My senior brother's disciple...disciple?"

"Yes!"

"One is a true immortal, and the other is... a celestial... celestial immortal?" Shen Gongbao felt his stuttering flare up again.

"Yes, that celestial being is Yang Jian. Have them pay their respects to you later."

Yu Ding smiled and asked, "Is there a problem?"

"If you tell me that a disciple like this is useless, where am I supposed to put my face?"

Shen Gongbao chuckled dryly, then his expression suddenly changed: "Wait, Yang Jian... could it be the same Yang Jian who caused havoc in the Heavenly Palace more than a hundred years ago?"

He stared at the jade cauldron in astonishment and shock: "He was taught by my senior brother?"

He was initially surprised that the third-generation disciples of Jade Void had become so outrageous.

If it's that nephew from the Heavenly Palace who caused such a ruckus... well, let's pretend the previous statements weren't mentioned.

"What, it's not allowed?" Yu Ding said with a smile.

You know what, when an apprentice is outstanding, it really brings honor to the master!

"No, no, when I first heard about this, I kept thinking about who had the ability to teach such an outstanding disciple."

Shen Gongbao muttered, "If it's my senior brother... then I'm really not surprised at all. Hey, Yang Jian is actually my senior brother's disciple, so I'm his uncle-master?"

"Well, it's mainly because the disciple is ambitious; the master is just an assistant," Yu Ding said softly.

"Senior brother, please forgive me for not agreeing with what you said."

Shen Gongbao said righteously and sternly, "My talent is only one aspect, but the guidance of my master is absolutely crucial in the cultivation process."

Otherwise, you could try having someone else teach him... Wait a minute, why does that little girl he's sparring with look increasingly familiar?

"Familiar? Then take a good look and see if you recognize me," Yu Ding said with a smile.

Shen Gongbao and he have a good relationship, so it's time for the disciples to get to know their Uncle Shen.

As for Manjushri and others... he wouldn't bother with them.

"Wow, that's a dragon..."

Shen Gongbao stared at it for a while, then suddenly exclaimed in surprise, his expression changing drastically. He was about to call out a name, but in the end, he stopped himself and looked at Yu Ding, whispering in astonishment, "Your Highness Longji?"

Yu Ding smiled and nodded again: "Indeed!"

"Senior brother, wasn't Prince Longji demoted to the mortal realm to suffer during the last Peach Banquet...?"

As Shen Gongbao spoke, looking at Yu Ding's smile, he suddenly seemed to realize something: "Was she already my senior brother's disciple back then?"

"You're quite clever..." Yu Ding laughed, "Haha, let's go, junior brother. Your senior brothers are here too. If they win any treasures, they'll give you one."

"A treasure contest?"

Shen Gongbao was somewhat taken aback. Upon entering the cave, he was immediately surprised to see Yun Zhongzi, Huanglong, and Taiyi sitting in a triangle on a futon.

Among them was a magical light realm, and several treasures were displayed there.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were fixed on the top.

"Are the senior brothers here too? Shen Gongbao greets the three senior brothers."

Shen Gongbao bowed to the three men.

"Junior Brother Shen, come and sit down!" Yun Zhongzi greeted him with a smile.

Taiyi nodded symbolically, while Huanglong, looking tense, didn't even raise his head.

Shen Gongbao was completely bewildered. He curiously leaned over for a peek and was immediately stunned.

The Xuan Guang Mirror spell displayed the images of Yang Jian and Long Ji locked in fierce combat.

Then he looked at Yu Ding next to him and greeted him with a smile, gesturing for him to sit down.

Shen Gongbao:!!!∑(Дノ)ノ

what's the situation?
The two younger generation are locked in a fierce battle in the sky, and you, as the elders, just stand by and watch?

laugh!
In the sky, Long Ji's gaze was cold and his expression solemn. His white robes fluttered as he formed a sword incantation with both hands, controlling the two divine swords, Erlong and Feilong, with extreme speed and without mercy, slashing towards Yang Jian's body.

Although she disliked Yang Jian's sour face, she had to admit that after fighting for so long,
With such strength, it's no wonder that this cousin was able to wreak havoc in the Heavenly Palace and run rampant in the Heavenly Court.

Or rather... Yang Jian's skills were too powerful. His physical body was unparalleled, and he could transform in countless ways. The power of the weapons in his hands was in no way inferior to her two immortal swords.

What's most infuriating is that sometimes Yang Jian would deliberately create openings, letting the sword strike him, but he would remain unharmed.

when!
Yang Jian held the sword in one hand, the divine weapons clashing, the reverberating sound of metal striking metal echoing in all directions. He easily parried the two swords, glancing sideways at Long Ji, his expression seemingly saying, "Bring it on."

"So powerful! Not only is Yang Jian's magical power incredibly pure and profound, but his Dao body is also so strong."

Yun Zhongzi exclaimed in surprise, "Apart from Junior Brother Kongxu whom I've seen before, his Dao Body is arguably the strongest. Senior Brother, could it be that you passed on to Yang Jian...?"

"It seems this lad is destined for greatness." Yu Ding nodded slightly. "In that case, it looks like it's going to be difficult for His Highness to win." Yun Zhongzi shook his head.

"Alright, Prince Longji is just warming up!" Huanglong snorted.

Taiyi smiled and looked at Yuding: "Junior brother, you can't try to make the disciples fight to a draw just to take the treasure!"

"Heh, what can I do under your noses?" Yu Ding chuckled.

But he bets that his two apprentices will tie!

For no other reason than that Yang Jian possessed the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts, which allowed him to change shape with the wind. During the Investiture of the Gods war, even the Heaven-Turning Seal could not touch him, making him almost invincible.

Yang Jian was well aware of why he was always targeting Long Ji; it all boiled down to his mother's situation.

However, as Yang Jian grows up, he becomes more and more mature in his actions. His personality is steady and meticulous, and he can distinguish the importance of different situations.

His purpose this time was probably to give Longji a military-style training session so that he could feel relieved.

After all, if you really investigate his mother's matter, does it have anything to do with Longji?
No! With so many elders around, he certainly wouldn't let Longji lose too badly... Besides, although Longji's cultivation level is low, her "money" ability is no joke.

Her magic pocket is like Doraemon's pocket; no one knows what treasure Longji will pull out next.

Longji was unhappy with Yang Jian, but no matter what, Yang Jian was her aunt's son, so she could just teach him a lesson and wouldn't make things too difficult for him.

all in all……

A smile appeared on Yu Ding's lips. Based on his understanding of his master, this situation was likely to end peacefully.

Disciples, the time has come to test the tacit understanding between master and disciple!
You must cooperate well with your master.

"boom!"

Enraged by Yang Jian, Long Ji drew back his swords with a sword incantation, and with a finger gesture, a glowing treasure bottle flew out, radiating a majestic and powerful force.

“That is…” Yang Jian’s expression changed.

The treasure bottle was a deep blue color, forged from an unknown rare divine metal. It shone brightly at this moment, with ripples spreading out like ocean waves, exuding terrifying power that made people tremble.

"Aha, His Highness Longji is serious now!" Huanglong exclaimed with great joy.

"Collect!" Longji gave a light command, and the Four Seas Bottle immediately became dazzling, with waves like ocean waves appearing, divine power radiating, and light emanating from the bottle's mouth.

A powerful suction force directly engulfed Yang Jian and Zhou Tianyun.

This sudden turn of events left the powerful elders inside the Golden Cloud Cave looking at each other in bewilderment.

"We won, we won..." Huanglong was overjoyed and went to rummage through the Mountain and Sea Map and the gold bricks.

"Don't rush!" Taiyi swept his whisk, blocking Huanglong.

"What, are you trying to renege?" Huang Long sneered.

Taiyi shook his head helplessly and said, "Don't rush, keep watching, it's not over yet!"

Huang Long looked over and saw that after Yang Jian was sucked away, another Yang Jian appeared in the same spot, looking at the Four Seas Bottle with some apprehension.

"Yang Jian, where are you going!"

Seeing this, Longji panicked, raised her hand, and with a wave of her hand, she held the Four Seas Bottle, unleashing boundless divine power, and smashed it towards Yang Jian.

She was simply awe-inspiring and unstoppable; there was not a trace of a princess about her.

“This…” Shen Gongbao was dumbfounded.

Huanglong, Taiyi, and Yunzhongzi were also extremely surprised, and finally looked at Yuding with strange expressions.

How do you teach your apprentices?

"Why are you looking at me like that? What does that look mean? I didn't teach you that."

Yu Ding's lips twitched as he explained, "It seems Long Ji is truly enraged. She actually grabbed the Four Seas Bottle and charged forward, completely ruining the princess's image."

only……

Yu Ding clutched his chest, looking heartbroken.

Seeing that she used such a precious treasure as the Four Seas Bottle to the point of being useless... it broke his heart!

Yang Jian stared at the charging Long Ji, his eyes flickering with some apprehension.

But then I remembered the scene of that junior uncle holding his own against a powerful being with his bare body...

"The path of the Immortal Warrior is unstoppable; how could I possibly be afraid? If my junior uncle can do it, there's no reason why I, Yang Jian, cannot!"

Yang Jian's eyes flashed, and without hesitation, he clenched his fist and charged forward.

"Wait a minute, the Four Seas Bottle is said to be able to hold the water of the four seas, but judging from its current weight, it contains at least the water of one sea."

Taiyi's expression changed: "With the divine power of the treasure bottle, even a Golden Immortal might not be able to withstand such a blow. Yang Jian wouldn't be trying to withstand the Four Seas Bottle with his physical body, would he?! Even Prince Longji's physical body wouldn't be able to withstand this kind of confrontation."

Huang Long was also surprised and said, "They've gone too far?! Are they always this brave?"

"Hey, hey, is Yu Ding still alright...wait, Yu Ding?"

As he was asking questions, Yu Ding had already disappeared, and as Yang Jian and Long Ji approached in the sky, both of them showed expressions of fear.

laugh!
A figure suddenly appeared between the two, his expression gloomy and somewhat troubled.

They were having a good time, but then Longji got angry and started smashing the Four Seas Bottle like a brick.

One thought the other wouldn't dare to accept the challenge, while the other thought, "I can do it..."

Yu Ding's eyes flashed, and he stretched out his arms, one hand, Taiyin, to meet Yang Jian's fist, which was radiating golden light, and the other hand, Taiyang, to meet the Four Seas Bottle that Long Ji was throwing. He said softly, "Catch!"

"Master?!" The two were shocked.

Boom!

But the next moment, something terrible happened.

The power of the Four Seas Bottle and Yang Jian poured out wildly, emitting a dazzling light, and the violent fluctuations swept across all directions.

"Jade Cauldron?!" Taiyi was so surprised that he jumped up.

"It's alright, Taiyi, don't worry, Yu Ding will be fine going up there." Huang Long waved his hand, looking calm.

"It's nothing..." Taiyi glared at Huanglong, then flashed into the sky.

Others may not know the true nature of Yu Ding, but how could he not know? He is called a great power, but in reality, he only has the strength of a celestial being.

Yang Jian's full-force punch at this moment, along with Longji's Four Seas Bottle attack... would have killed an ordinary celestial being on the spot.

call out!
Amidst the turbulence, Longji and Yang Jian were thrown back a hundred feet or so, managing to escape. They looked at the mushroom cloud-like power ahead with lingering fear.

Huanglong, Yunzhongzi, and Shen Gongbao also appeared one after another.

"Well, Yu Ding, do you need my help?" Taiyi asked anxiously.

"No need, but this time it's a tie between the two of them!"

The sound of the jade cauldron came from within the blinding divine light.

"Fine, fine, I lose, the gold brick is yours," Taiyi said irritably.

If a true immortal were to be drawn into that violent power, they would be torn to shreds.

"Okay, let's do it!"

A soft hum came from within the blazing sphere of light. The two violent forces seemed to have been calmed down as if by some kind of sorting. Yu Ding appeared, and with a wave of his hands, he continuously compressed the immense energy, transforming it into a fiery red sphere like the sun in front of him!

Meanwhile, in a small town a thousand miles away.

Bai Ze sat quietly at the tea stall, a smile playing on his lips as he watched the direction in which Yang Jian and Long Ji were fighting.

Beside her, Hongyu sat there motionless, her eyes vacant and lifeless, like a walking corpse.

Suddenly, a crimson light, invisible to mortals, drifted down and entered Hongyu's body.

"Hoo!" Hongyu gasped for breath and looked at Bai Ze, saying, "Master, Jade Cauldron Immortal has returned."

Her spirit had just left her body, but now her primordial spirit had returned to her original form.

"Not urgent!"

Mr. Bai waved his hand, and just as Hong Yu was about to say something, Mr. Bai said with a warm smile, "I saw Yu Ding's newly accepted disciple."

"You've taken on another apprentice?"

Hongyu was startled and pouted, "He really doesn't stay idle. Surely he won't cause trouble in the Heavenly Palace again this time?"

"As for the motive, I don't think so, but nothing is absolute, who can say for sure about these things... But I estimate this time it will be very interesting." Mr. Bai smiled mysteriously.
