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

Chapter 191 Do you want the three of us to become sworn brothers?

Yu Ding gazed at Li Jing, his eyes gentle and warm, and began to ponder softly.

He remembered that Li Jing was also a cultivator in the Investiture of the Gods, and seemed to be a disciple of the Daoist Master Du'e Zhenren, who was suspected to be his senior master Daode.

Later, he found it difficult to achieve immortality, so he went down the mountain to serve the Shang Dynasty and became a general, thus gaining wealth and status. However, he also became acquainted with Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East Sea.

This general is still an important commander today, guarding a pass and ensuring the peace and tranquility of the people...

Of course, the most impressive characters are Li Jing and his three sons.

His eldest son, Jinzha, became a disciple of Manjushri, the Heavenly Venerable of Vast Dharma, and his second son, Muzha, became a disciple of Samantabhadra. Later, for reasons unknown, he switched his allegiance to Cihang Zhenren.

His most famous son is Nezha, who was born after his wife was pregnant for three years!

Thinking of this, Yu Ding glanced at Ling Zhuzi with a flash of his eyes, while Nezha had caused a terrible disaster in Chen Tang Pass.

This eventually led to a complete break between father and son, culminating in a dramatic scene where the father pressured the son, and the son threatened to kill his father.

Later, Li Jing, who was being chased by his son, met the Taoist Ran Deng, who gave him a magnificent pagoda, thus gradually establishing his career as the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King.

After the Investiture of the Gods, Li Jing was lucky enough to become one of the seven people who achieved godhood in the flesh. Holding the exquisite pagoda, he was named Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li. He and his third son Nezha served the Jade Emperor in the Lingxiao Palace, commanding 100,000 heavenly soldiers and guarding the South Heavenly Gate.

As for his other two sons… Yu Ding’s eyes flickered slightly.

Manjushri, Samantabhadra, and Cihang entered the Western Paradise, and their disciples Jinzha and Muzha naturally followed suit. It can be said that if the upper beam is crooked, the lower beam will be crooked as well.

With the Investiture of the Gods imminent, encountering Li Jing this time is somewhat of a coincidence, but since they have met,
Of course, he couldn't just let it go like that. What could he do with Li Jing, and what influence could he have?
As he pondered, Yu Ding's eyes slowly brightened after glancing at the spirit pearl beside him.

Although Lingzhuzi was a restless boy, he was relatively obedient under the tutelage of Yang Jian, Yuan Hong, and others, and Yu Ding couldn't find any major faults with him.

But Nezha after his reincarnation... needless to say, he is definitely the most troublesome and mischievous child in history.

He could kill the sea patrol yaksha and pull out the tendons of the dragon prince just by taking a bath, and by sheer coincidence, he could kill Lady Shiji's pageboy by shooting an arrow...

As the saying goes: If you raise a child but do not teach him, it is the father's fault!
Nezha was born just as the Eight Hundred Princes were rebelling. Li Jing was busy training his troops all day long and neglected to train his son's troops, so he probably has a lot of responsibility for that.

Secondly... Yu Ding let his thoughts wander, after all, Nezha was conceived for three years and six months before being born.

Humans typically carry a child for ten months, so three years and six months would be considered a freak. It's probably quite normal for Li Jing to have mixed feelings about such a child, right?

"Uncle-Master, is there something wrong with this kid?"

Lingzhuzi didn't know what Yuding was thinking, but she couldn't help but be a little surprised to see Yuding looking at Li Jing like that.

To be honest, Lingzhuzi is fearless. For example, this time he didn't even listen to his master and secretly slipped down the mountain.

But he wasn't worried about his master getting angry, because he knew that his master doted on him, and as long as he didn't make any big mistakes, there wouldn't be any problems.

And this Uncle Yu Ding... was one of the few people he was afraid of.

Putting everything else aside, that self-criticism made him suffer a lot, but of course, he was also completely convinced of his uncle's abilities and admired him to the extreme.

So now he couldn't help but wonder, how could this guy named Li Jing make his martial uncle look at him so differently?
"Nothing wrong!"

Yu Ding glanced at Li Jing, Yin Guangling, and Ling Zhuzi, and revealed a mysterious smile: "The three of you are destined to meet!"

Also, is this little girl's surname Yin?

Yu Ding's eyes flashed; it seemed this little girl's background was rather unusual!

There's no other reason than that this great Shang Dynasty is also known as the Yin Shang, and Yin... is the royal surname!

In other words, this young girl must be from a very wealthy and influential family.

"A destined connection?"

These two words made Lingzhuzi and Yin Guangling pause for a moment, but Li Jing was overjoyed: "Miss Yin, look, even the immortal says we are destined to be together."

Yin Guangling glanced at Li Jing with some impatience, then suddenly his eyes lit up and he smiled, "Would you like the three of us to become sworn brothers?"

"what?"

These words not only stunned Li Jing, but also left Lingzhuzi speechless.

Yu Ding's face twitched involuntarily.

Eldest brother? Second sister? Third brother?

I have to say, these young people these days... they really know how to have fun!
"The Great Shang Xuan Niao Division, Jin Yin Yuan Yang, greets the Immortal Master. Thank you for helping us eliminate the evil spirits."

Yuan Yang, accompanied by two other young men with golden seals, stepped forward, clasped his hands in a respectful bow, and looked on with awe in his eyes.

This Taoist priest was handsome and refined, with an otherworldly air and an extraordinary demeanor. He was clearly no ordinary person, and with a wave of his hand, he effortlessly dealt with the evil dragon that had been giving them a headache.

Such means...

He can only be described as a legendary immortal.

"It's nothing, no need to make such a fuss!"

As Yu Ding spoke, he glanced at the three of them and suddenly asked, "Whose sect are you from?"

Yuan Yang said, "I am a rogue cultivator, while these two are disciples of the Grand Tutor."

"Who is the Grand Tutor's disciple? Wen Zhong?" Yu Ding pondered.

When the Grand Tutor of the Yin Shang Dynasty was mentioned, he immediately thought of Wen Zhong, a disciple of the Jie Sect for three generations.

Wen Zhong was a disciple of the Golden Spirit Mother of the Jie Sect and also the Grand Tutor of the Great Shang Dynasty. He was loyal and upright. It was when the Great Shang Dynasty was about to perish that he ran around looking for extraordinary people from the Jie Sect to help him and save the dynasty from collapse.

Unfortunately, after several generals were defeated in Xiqi, he led his troops in a personal campaign and ultimately perished on the road to conquer Zhou. Decades ago, he had heard that the Holy Mother of Golden Spirit had taken in a disciple named Wen Zhong.

Judging by the time, they should have already gone down the mountain to assist in business by now.

"How dare you address Grand Tutor Wen by his given name?"

Upon hearing Yu Ding's words, the two young men with golden seals spoke in deep voices.

Yu Ding glanced at the two young men, smiled slightly, but ignored them.

With his status, it would be pointless for him to argue with two mere Refining Spirit Realm cultivators; it would only invite ridicule from others.

"Who is Wen Zhong?" Lingzhuzi asked, startled.

Yu Ding transmitted his voice, saying, "A third-generation disciple of the Jie Sect."

"Only a third-generation disciple? I thought he was some extraordinary person, someone whose name I couldn't even address."

Yu Ding remained silent, but Ling Zhuzi spoke up, sneering, "What's wrong with calling him by his name? Heh, it's only because he's not here today. If he were here, my uncle would call him by his name and he'd have to come over and bow obediently."

This senior uncle is magnanimous and won't stoop to the level of these people, but Lingzhuzi doesn't have such a good temper.

“Reporting to the Immortal Master, the Great Shang Xuan Bird Guard is under the jurisdiction of the Astronomical Bureau, and its head is Grand Tutor Du, whose surname is Du and given name is Yuanxian!” Yuan Yang said.

Du Yuanxian… After pondering for a moment, Yu Ding shook his head. It wasn’t Wen Zhong after all.

However, judging from these people's reactions, Wen Zhong seems to be a Grand Tutor as well.

"May I ask your title, Immortal? On which immortal mountain and in which immortal abode do you cultivate?" Yuan Yang asked, clasping his hands in greeting.

"We met by chance. I slew the demon because that wicked creature had committed many evils. Now that the demon has been eliminated, why ask any more questions?"

With a flick of his sleeve, Yu Ding floated into the air, exuding an indescribable sense of freedom and elegance.

"Uncle-Master, where are you going?" Lingzhu asked hurriedly.

"Immortal Master, please accept me as your disciple. I want to learn your skills from you."

Yin Guangling's expression shifted, as if waking from a dream, and he waved his hand and shouted.

Yu Ding glanced back and smiled slightly: "From where we came, we go!"

As he spoke, he vanished into the clouds and disappeared from everyone's sight.

Only a glowing scroll of cloth slowly drifted down from the sky, flying towards Yin Guangling.

"This is..." Yin Guangling looked at the cloth, opened it and saw only a small figure. As she looked at it, the small figure moved and the true energy in its body circulated.

After just one glance, her inner energy was activated and began to circulate within her body.

"This?" The two young men with golden seals looked at each other in disbelief, filled with envy.

"You guys..."

Yuan Yang glanced at the two juniors, her expression seemingly saying, "We've missed out on such a wonderful opportunity."

"Senior Yuan, is that person... really that powerful?" someone asked.

Yuan Yang gave a wry smile and looked at Ling Zhuzi: "You'll have to ask that young man."

"sharp?"

Lingzhuzi sneered: "My martial uncle... never mind, I'm too lazy to talk to you. Li Jing, let's go."

Li Jing looked at Yin Guangling with lingering reluctance.

"Do you want to become sworn brothers?" Yin Guangling asked calmly.

"Miss Yin, please... take care!"

Li Jing sighed and then left with Ling Zhuzi.

"Senior brother, you... seem quite concerned about that young man named Li Jing?"

Yun Zhongzi in the sky said, "Although he has great fortune, I think his aptitude is only average."

Yu Ding smiled and said, "It's nothing. Well then, junior brother, let's go to Zhongnan Mountain!"

Just as he was leaving, a wisp of pure energy drifted out from his body and transformed into a clone.

Since we've already encountered Li Jing... let's keep him here!

……

Leaving aside the mortal realm, the atmosphere in the celestial realm was particularly tense at this moment because of the disappearance of a certain figure.

At this moment, inside the Tongming Hall, several close ministers of the Heavenly Emperor, including Kongxu, Taibai, Taishang, and Dongwanggong, who were incarnations of Yuding, gathered together.

"What should we do? What should we do? Everyone, please say something!"

Venus paced anxiously in the hall, his face filled with worry: "Once this matter is exposed, the Heavenly Court will be thrown into chaos, and if the Heavenly Court is in chaos, the Three Realms will follow suit."

The Heavenly Emperor has vanished!
Once this news breaks, the entire prehistoric world and the Three Realms will be shaken.

Those shadowy figures who had been secretly spying on the Heavenly Court were already itching to act, and this news was undoubtedly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for them.
