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

Chapter 193 My suggestion is to find another Heavenly Emperor.

Zhongnan Mountain is a sacred and blessed land located in the southwest of Nanzhou.

The mountains are shrouded in a spiritual aura that never dissipates; the scenery is beautiful, the mountains are majestic, and the peaks are ethereal and enchanting.

The divine spring flows down the stream, and the sacred herbs grow on the cliff. Auspicious beasts lurk in the mountains, and spirit monkeys hide in the forest. It has both a fairy-like atmosphere and wonderful scenery, and is extremely beautiful.

This place is also a renowned celestial paradise in the Southern Continent. In terms of scale, it is much larger than Yuquan Mountain, which spans thousands of miles.

At the same time, this is also the training ground chosen by Yun Zhongzi, a great master of the Chan Sect... it's just that many people don't know that.

"As expected of Zhongnan Mountain!"

On a cliff, Yu Ding paused to gaze into the distance and sighed softly. The "Nanshan" in the legend of longevity is the Zhongnan Mountain right before him.

In addition, Taoism has the saying of thirty-six grotto-heavens and seventy-two blessed lands. The first of the seventy-two blessed lands is called Difei Mountain, and Zhongnan Mountain has another name that is Difei Mountain.

As far as the eye could see, he could also spot some Qi cultivators practicing in the Zhongnan Mountains.

"Isn't my junior brother the only one cultivating here?"

Yu Ding saw the Qi cultivators, then looked at the serene Yun Zhongzi, and seemed to be deep in thought.

"This blessed land was created by nature, and it can only be used by me, not owned by me."

Yun Zhongzi looked into the distance and said with a smile, "Such a blessed land, I have enough place to stay. Everyone usually cultivates their own way. If Heaven and Earth can accommodate me, how can I not accommodate those fellow Daoists?"

"Junior brother has such a generous spirit." Yu Ding nodded with a smile.

It must be admitted that Yun Zhongzi's temperament is truly like the white clouds in the sky: tranquil, peaceful, and natural.

He was also the fellow disciple that Yu Ding had met in the Chan Sect who best matched his image of an immortal.

Aside from Yun Zhongzi, look at people like Huang Long, who's a contrarian, and Taiyi, who holds grudges—what kind of immortals are they, right...?

Oh no, fellow disciples, this is due to the influence of the Three Corpses.
The corpse worms inside a person's head make them greedy for treasures, foolish, dull, and unintelligent. See, this matches up... doesn't it?
Yu Ding nodded slightly. "The three corpses have not been severed, and anger is hard to quell. That's why the senior brothers are prone to anger, irritability, and occasional lapses in judgment. Everyone should try to understand them."

Of course, despite saying that, he still prefers his own Yuquan Mountain.

Although it is small, it is quiet and elegant, and no one will disturb you.

"And there are so many people in Zhongnan Mountain..." Yu Ding looked at Yun Zhongzi, his expression turning strange.

This junior brother seems to be not only the originator of imitation, but also the earliest originator of shared living!
"Senior brother, that's my Jade Pillar Cave over there, please!"

Yun Zhongzi raised his sleeve and smiled, "Although there are many Qi cultivators on Zhongnan Mountain, they usually cultivate separately and do not disturb each other."

Of course, some would occasionally move around and discuss the Dao.

"Fellow Daoist Yun is back?"

Some cultivators at the Refining Spirit Realm, dressed as Taoist priests and gathering herbs in the mountains, greeted him with smiles.

"Yes, how is it? Fellow Daoist, how's your cultivation going lately?" Yun Zhongzi asked with a smile.

The Qi Refiner sighed in frustration and said with a bitter smile, "It's still the same. I'm stuck in the Spirit Refining Realm and can't break through the Heavenly Gate by unifying the Three Elements."

"That means you've over-cultivated and your body is a bit weak, no, overdrawn. Cultivation requires a lot of energy and spirit. Eat more Kidney Essence... cough cough, replenish your vital energy."

Yu Ding coughed lightly and said, "If one's essence is full, spirit is good, and energy is abundant, one will surely be able to open the Heavenly Gate and enter the Return to Emptiness within a month."

He wasn't talking nonsense. Although Qi cultivators do consume qi and mist during their cultivation, that's only at a very high level.

Essence, Qi, and Spirit are also known as the Three Treasures. In the field of Qi cultivation, they are: refining essence, refining Qi, refining spirit, and returning to emptiness. To put it simply, it is refining essence into Qi, refining Qi into spirit, and refining spirit to return to emptiness.

If someone is physically weak, they are more likely to die before they can even begin to cultivate...

"Oh, who is this?" the Taoist priest asked, looking at him with surprise.

Yun Zhongzi smiled slightly: "Oh, this is my senior brother, Yu..."

"This humble Taoist is Yuyangzi!"

Yu Ding casually remarked that common sense when traveling is to always be wary of others and never reveal one's real name.

Don't ask why.
The question is to guard against evil spells like the Seven Arrows of Nailhead, which can ambush you simply by knowing its name.

"Yes, this is my senior brother, Master Yuyang."

Yun Zhongzi laughed and said, "Fellow Daoist, why don't you try what my senior brother said?"

"Alright, then thank you both very much."

The Qi Refiner bowed and thanked them, watching Yu Ding and Yun Zhongzi depart into the distance.

"It seems that my junior brother is interacting with them as an ordinary Qi cultivator."

Yu Ding smiled and said, "They don't know my junior brother's background."

"There's not much to say!" Yun Zhongzi smiled. "Most of the cultivators in Zhongnan Mountain are independent or reclusive cultivators without any background or sect. They have no sect, no background, and they don't want to get involved in the conflicts of the mortal world..."

“This method is quite good too.” Yu Ding nodded gently.

He was telling the truth; this place is like a paradise.

The Qi cultivators here dislike fighting, are indifferent to worldly affairs, and live a life of peace and tranquility, somewhat similar to Yun Zhongzi.

No wonder Yun Zhongzi also chose to live in seclusion here.

With Yun Zhongzi around, ordinary demons cannot destroy this peaceful and serene land.

"Senior brother, please look, that's my Jade Pillar Cave up ahead!" Yun Zhongzi pointed and said.

Yu Ding looked up and saw a cave on the cliff. The cave had no safety measures such as formations.

"It really is an old tradition..." Yu Ding's lips twitched as he thought of Yuquan Mountain, where he had taken no action back then.

However, with powerful figures like the Twelve Golden Immortals and Yun Zhongzi whose names are known throughout the world, who would dare to run into their territory and steal?

Even if some reckless person occasionally barges in, they can easily deal with them by simply raising a finger.
Just as Yu Ding was about to take a step, he suddenly stopped abruptly, his expression blank: "The Queen Mother of the West...is in seclusion?"

Then his facial muscles twitched slightly.

No need to think about it anymore, that person must have gone after the fleeing Heavenly Emperor.

Don't they ever consider the Heavenly Court?

How could they all be so irresponsible... Yu Ding angrily condemned this behavior in his heart, while at the same time he hoped that Longji's mother would get her wish soon.

Give that Heavenly Emperor a good beating; he doesn't need to give me, Yu Ding, any face.

Yu Ding snorted inwardly, "A Heavenly Emperor who betrays his teammates is better off without!"

……

At this moment, inside the Jade Pool Palace.

A luminous divine mirror floated in mid-air, radiating divine light, beneath which lay the Queen Mother of the West.

"Your Majesty, I'm sorry, I don't know the whereabouts of the Heavenly Emperor either," the Divine Mirror said.

"Say one more thing and you still don't know!"

The Queen Mother of the West had a cold expression and her cold eyes were like lightning. When she looked at the divine mirror, it trembled as if it was about to shatter.

Few people know that when Haotian was born, he was accompanied by two innate spiritual treasures: a sword and a mirror.

Both the offensive and defensive aspects are named after Haotian. The mirror, because it has the ability to observe the primordial world, is under her control and is also a treasure of Kunlun Mountain, hence the name Kunlun Mirror.

But actually, the real name of this treasure would be more appropriate: Haotian Mirror.

This time, Haotian ran away with the sword, but the Haotian Mirror was still in her hands.

The innate spiritual treasures of the innate deities are equivalent to the magical artifacts used by Qi cultivators today for cultivating both body and life, as if they were one.

If there's anything left in this world that can find traces of that guy...

"Well, no, there's no other way."

Finally, under the watchful eyes of the Queen Mother of the West, Haotian Mirror relented.

Because it knows this person's temperament.

"Humph!"

The Queen Mother of the West gave it a 'you know what's good for you' look, and with a wave of her hand, the Haotian Mirror landed in her hand.

"If you dare to deceive me..."

As she spoke, the Queen Mother of the West picked up the Haotian Mirror, went to the bed, and slowly lay down.

After a long time, a beam of light pierced the sky and fell to earth like a shooting star, but unfortunately it did not attract much attention during the day.

Tongming Hall.

"What should we do? What should we do? His Majesty has disappeared, and His Majesty has gone into seclusion. What are we going to do?" Taibai was completely at a loss.

"Since that's how it is..."

At this moment, Kongxuzi, the incarnation of Yuding, said somewhat helplessly, "My suggestion is to find another Heavenly Emperor."

It's like when your first child is ruined, you have to regenerate—oops, I mean, find another one!

There's no way we can count on the Heavenly Emperor.
