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

Chapter 192 My Uncle-Master Doesn't Like It

Along the extended official road, Lingzhuzi and Li Jinghe had gradually gone further and further away.

However, every few steps Li Jing would reluctantly turn back.

"Alright, stop looking. There's no chance for you two," Lingzhuzi said, pouting.

"Who said that? You're dampening my enthusiasm like that. Are you still my brother?" Li Jing said, dissatisfied.

"Old Li, listen to me, I've seen that girl, she's definitely not a good match for you."

Lingzhuzi advised, "Look at the way she fought that demon dragon just now. She charged forward with her sword, acting like a daredevil. You can't handle a girl like that."

“I can handle it,” Li Jing retorted defiantly.

"You can't handle it."

Lingzhuzi said patiently, "You will die at the hands of that woman."

To be honest, Lingzhuzi's fighting style was wild enough, but that woman's desperate fighting style also stunned him.

“I can handle it, Lao Ling. Listen to me clearly, in this life, I, Li Jing, have chosen her, and I will marry no one but her.”

Li Jing said with a serious expression, "If you consider me a brother, then help me win her over. Wait, with you blocking my way like this, you don't mean you've also taken a liking to Miss Yin, do you? Yes, the way you looked at her before wasn't right either."

After speaking, he stared at Lingzhuzi with a wary expression.

"I... I'll go to hell!"

Lingzhuzi gave Li Jing a hard shove, sending him tumbling to the ground with a thud: "Who do you take me for? You can't even tell right from wrong! I'm doing this for your own good. I think you deserve to be tormented by that woman."

"I'm willing, it's none of your business."

Li Jing stiffened his neck and said, the two of them, one standing and one sitting, just staring at each other.

Li Jing gave a soft snort, turned his back, his chest heaving as he breathed heavily.

"Forget it, I'm too lazy to talk to you."

Lingzhu chuckled self-deprecatingly, shaking his head as he prepared to leave.

But after taking only two steps, he suddenly remembered the way his martial uncle had looked at Li Jing, and stopped in his tracks with suspicion.

That senior uncle was truly unfathomable to him, even more frightening than his master, so he believed that the senior uncle's gaze at that time must have had a deeper meaning.

He also remembered that his martial uncle looked at him and Li Jing very strangely.

"Could it be that this kid is truly destined to be with me? That makes sense; Master often says that meeting is fate."

Lingzhuzi pondered, "But this kid looks ordinary. What's so special about him?"

As he pondered, he glanced back and saw Li Jing secretly watching him.

Upon seeing him look over, she immediately turned her head sharply.

Click...

"Ouch!" Li Jing cried out in pain.

Lingzhuzi asked speechlessly, "What is it now?"

Li Jing hesitated, then said, "Old Ling, I...I twisted my neck!"

Lingzhuzi: "..."

After a long time, Li Jing was carried on Lingzhuzi's back on the main road, his neck fixed by a halo of magical power.

Looking at the spirit pearl on his back, Li Jing's expression was somewhat complicated.

"Old Ling...I'm so sorry!"

"Sorry for what?"

"I know you're saying this for my own good."

"You finally understand..." Lingzhuzi's expression relaxed, somewhat surprised.

Li Jing chuckled self-deprecatingly: "I, Li Jing, am just a commoner, while Miss Yin... not only comes from a distinguished family, but is also a candidate to ascend to the Martial Immortal realm. What do you think I have to compare with her?"

He said wistfully, "You're right, I should have given up on these unrealistic fantasies sooner."

“You…” Lingzhuzi sneered upon hearing this.

"why are you laughing?"

"Laugh at your stupidity, laugh at your clumsiness. What dynasty, what family background, what martial arts immortality? In a thousand years, you'll still be nothing but a handful of dust."

Lingzhuzi shook his head and laughed, "Only by refining Qi to become an immortal can one achieve eternity. To be honest, if you want to pursue her... it's actually not difficult at all."

"Oh? You have a way?!" Li Jing asked impatiently.

Lingzhuzi sighed: "Old Li, this is the last time I'll try to persuade you. That woman... are you really sure about her?" "I've made up my mind. I won't marry anyone else!" Li Jing said without hesitation.

"It's hard to reason with a damned ghost..." Lingzhuzi nodded: "If you want to rise above others, it's not difficult. Have you forgotten what I just said? Refine Qi to become an immortal..."

"Cultivating immortality?" Li Jing's expression shifted, and his face lit up, but it quickly dimmed again: "How easy is it to enter those immortal sects?"

"You, you, you're really infuriating... You have no respect for a true genius!"

Lingzhu was furious: "Do you still remember my uncle from earlier?"

Li Jing asked cautiously, "Oh, that immortal master... is he an immortal?"

"No? When did the word 'immortal' become so worthless? But, ha, a real immortal isn't even worthy of carrying my uncle's shoes." Lingzhuzi sneered.

"May I ask who that immortal is...?" Li Jing's eyes burned with intensity.

"Young man, let me tell you, my martial uncle is incredibly powerful."

Lingzhuzi whispered, "Have you heard of the Chan Sect?"

Li Jing thought for a moment and shook his head: "No!"

Ling Zhuzi's lips twitched: "What about the legendary Twelve Golden Immortals of Jade Void?"

Li Jing thought for a moment, then shook his head somewhat embarrassed.

"How come you know nothing at all!" Lingzhuzi sighed.

However, this is not entirely Li Jing's fault. Nowadays, immortals are not visible in the mortal world, and gradually, mortals only hear about legends but never see immortals.

"Alright, I'll tell you a place. Go there and you'll definitely learn some skills."

Lingzhuzi warned, "But there's one thing you must keep to yourself... or I'll kill you."

"What?" Li Jing was taken aback.

"Don't tell anyone, I'm the one who asked you to go," Lingzhuzi whispered.

He had seen Li Jing; his natural talent was average, with absolutely no outstanding qualities.

Logically speaking, ordinary immortal sects would not accept such a disciple. His aptitude is just so-so, and he has no chance of becoming an immortal. Letting him cultivate would be a pure waste of resources.

If my martial uncle knew that it was he who introduced such a disciple, whom even ordinary immortal sects wouldn't accept, to Jade Spring Mountain...

Lingzhu swallowed hard; the punishment from that senior uncle would probably be unforgettable for him for the rest of his life.

"Oh, where?"

“In the Golden Cloud Cave of Jade Spring Mountain in the Eastern Continent, there is a Jade Cauldron Immortal, a great power with a illustrious reputation in the prehistoric world. He is of extremely high seniority and is very skilled at teaching disciples.”

In the sky, a clone left behind by the jade cauldron was looking down.

Lingzhuzi and Li Jing's words naturally reached his ears.

Lingzhuzi, your master is very happy to introduce disciples to you, but he doesn't like the way you introduced them... Yu Ding sneered.

Admittedly, he did want Li Jing to interact with him so that it would be easier to plan the Investiture of the Gods.

Leaving this clone behind was also to keep an eye on this important figure in the Investiture of the Gods, but Lingzhuzi's actions displeased his uncle.

Furthermore, Li Jing's aptitude was so poor that he couldn't even compare to a single finger of Yuan Hong or Yang Jian, so it could be said that he had absolutely no hope of becoming an immortal.

He was quite lucky in the Investiture of the Gods, as he was given a magnificent pagoda and later became one of the seven who achieved godhood in their physical bodies.

……

Taishang, Kongxuzi, and Dongwanggong exchanged glances.

After Yu Ding took charge of the Heavenly Court's law enforcement system, and thanks to Haotian's preferential treatment, Kong Xuzi, the incarnation of Yu Ding, quickly integrated into this circle.

Venus looked at the people in front of him with anticipation.
Seeing their furrowed brows, seeing their silence, and finally their expressions shifting from expectation to a deep sigh.

At this moment, they are torn about whether or not to make the news of the Heavenly Emperor's disappearance public.

If it's not made public, it will be exposed sooner or later; if it is made public...

"This matter is of utmost importance; how can we possibly make the decision?"

Dongwanggong smiled wryly and said, "In my humble opinion... perhaps we should ask the Golden Mother Goddess for advice?"

Kong Xuzi remained silent; in situations like this, speaking as little as possible is generally the safest course of action.

Not long after, outside the Jade Pool.

"What? Her Majesty... has gone into seclusion?"

Venus and the others were completely dumbfounded. What was going on?
One is missing, the other is in seclusion... Isn't this too hasty?

What will happen to Heaven?
