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

Chapter 204 again? Is this never going to end?

Soon after, the disciples of Yuxu who could no longer hear Yu Ding's voice opened their eyes one by one.

"Hey, where's my senior brother?"

Everyone looked around, but when they didn't see the jade cauldron, some felt disappointed, while others were still pondering the feeling they had just experienced.

"Fellow disciples, what do you think was the breathing technique that Senior Brother Yu Ding was using just now? I've never seen it in the palace's collection of books before," a disciple suddenly asked in a deep voice.

This topic immediately attracted the attention of all the disciples, who all gathered around.

"If it's not from Jade Void Palace, then... it must have been created by Senior Brother himself."

One disciple raised an eyebrow excitedly and said, "I wonder what kind of method Senior Brother Yu Ding is creating this time."

Those who cultivate Qi nourish themselves by consuming the essence of heaven and earth.

The word "method" in this term refers to the cultivation method, while "technique" refers to the means of protecting oneself against enemies.

When the first people passed by Qilin Cliff, they saw their senior brother Yu Ding sitting cross-legged, seemingly cultivating and muttering something. While the honest disciples were still observing, the clever disciples had already sat down and started practicing as well.

As a result, more and more people came.

"Fellow disciples, how much of the profound breathing technique that our senior brother just recited... has everyone grasped?" one of the disciples asked the group.

"Unfortunately, I arrived a bit late. My senior brother had already started, so I only remembered... about 30%!"

One of them frowned and said he was still trying to recall the rhythm that Yu Ding had shouted. Suddenly, he looked at the person who had spoken and asked, "How much of it have you remembered?"

"Haha, as the saying goes, timing is everything. When I arrived, my senior brother had just started practicing, so I managed to remember about 70-80% of the rhythm!" the disciple said proudly.

"Seventy or eighty percent?!"

Upon hearing this, the disciples were taken aback, and their gazes toward that disciple immediately changed.

They all crowded around.

"Come, come, tell us quickly..."

……

Above the sky, Longji stood behind Qingluan. A strong wind swept by, making her black hair fly and her robes flutter.

What remained calm was her expression and gaze as she looked towards the Heavenly Court.

Looking up at the sky, Longji flipped his hand, and a nine-leafed Yaozhi grass appeared in his palm, blooming with nine colors and spreading a refreshing fragrance.

Longji stared quietly at the Yaochi Grass, his eyes flickering as if he were considering something.

"Your Highness, perhaps we should discard this herb!"

As Qingluan spoke, a hint of worry flashed in her eyes.

It is true that Longji is a princess of the Heavenly Realm, but this identity is based on the fact that her parents are the Heavenly Emperor and the Heavenly Empress.

However, now that the Heavenly Emperor has gone through tribulation and disappeared without a trace, leaving behind an imperial edict to find a new emperor, and the Golden Mother has gone into seclusion, it is as if Longji has suddenly lost all his support.

The Heavenly Court used to be Longji's home, but now... is it still?

Qingluan's heart sank. Besides, His Highness only had the cultivation of a True Immortal, just one step away from becoming a Celestial Immortal.

Just when we were at a critical juncture for a breakthrough, this happened. Meanwhile, the Heavenly Court has been constantly strengthening itself over the years, and the number of experts has increased considerably.

The kind of celestial being causing havoc in the Heavenly Palace that we've seen before... will probably never happen again.

She couldn't even imagine how things would end.

However, as Longji's guardian bird, one thing will never change no matter what happens: she will always stand by Longji's side.

Longji stared for a moment, then suddenly clenched his fist and put away the Nine-Leaf Jade Grass. When he looked up, his eyes were full of determination.

"Need not!"

Longji's eyes flashed as he said, "I can break through to the Celestial Immortal realm without this."

She remembered Yu Ding saying that she possessed unimaginable terrifying power and potential, but it had not yet been developed.

Others need to absorb spiritual energy to refine it into magical power when cultivating, but she doesn't.

She felt that her master, who had failed to sever his three corpses, might need this immortal herb more than she did.

The Azure Phoenix said nothing more, flapped its wings, and soared straight up to the heavens.

The Heavenly Court, with its extraordinary grandeur, remains as sacred as ever.

Golden rays shone everywhere, auspicious clouds stretched endlessly, and every now and then, rows of cranes flew by, showcasing an extraordinary celestial scene.

In front of the South Heavenly Gate.

"The Heavenly Realm is in dire need of talent. Your cultivation is not weak; you are more than qualified to be a divine general. Why do you insist on being a guard at the South Heavenly Gate?"

A divine general clad in armor frowned. Before him stood a celestial general with a stubble beard, wearing silver armor.

Upon hearing his words, the silver-armored general immediately shouted, "What's wrong with guarding the South Heavenly Gate? Isn't the South Heavenly Gate important? Old Yun, you also came from here, are you looking down on us now?"

The general frowned and said helplessly, "You know that's not what I meant."

"Alright, Lao Yun, I appreciate your kindness, but everyone has their own ambitions, and you can't force things."

Mo Youqian winked and smiled, "I guard the Heavenly Gate here every day, and I go off duty when my time is up. I'm content with the Heavenly Court's salary. You know, I don't like fighting and killing. Isn't looking at those fairy sisters' thighs more enjoyable than anything else?" Yunyangzi glanced at him, "If that's your attitude, you might as well ask the Old Man of the Moon to tie a red thread for you and go down to the mortal world to undergo tribulations."

Mo Youqian immediately glared and said in a serious tone, "But I'm not going. I have no worldly desires and I haven't encountered any love tribulations. What tribulations would I be going to experience?"

I simply appreciate beauty in everything I do. Is there anything wrong with that? No, there's nothing wrong with that. Only despicable people would think that way.

Yunyangzi: "..."

Seeing that he couldn't force it, he could only sigh helplessly.

In terms of seniority, this guy was born earlier than him, and in terms of skill, he is no less capable.

However, this guy neither wanted to accumulate merits to climb the ranks, nor did he want to fight to slay demons and monsters to maintain peace in the primordial world. He was afraid of death by nature, and his hobbies were watching fairies, earning salaries, and improving his cultivation.

Every day, they would arrive at their shifts, guns in hand, to guard the gate; once their shift ended, they would turn around and leave without delay...

He really couldn't understand what this guy was after in Heaven, just to see the fairies' legs.

Bah, vile!

"Actually, the South Heavenly Gate is not so easy to guard."

Yunyangzi arrived at the fence outside the Heavenly Gate and gazed at the Cloud Sea Road in the distance.

"What's so hard about defending it... You mean the last time Yang Jian attacked?"

Mo Youqian followed and looked at the sea of ​​clouds, saying softly, "I still remember when the two of them were tired from guarding the Heavenly Gate, they would look into the distance."

A bright red sun shone through the sea of ​​clouds, its rays falling upon the two of them.

Yunyangzi nodded slightly.

"Hey, don't worry about that!"

Mo Youqian patted Yunyangzi on the shoulder: "That's just a low-probability event. Look, in all the years since the Heavenly Court was established, only Yuan Hong and others have ever come up to Heaven to cause trouble..."

He paused for a moment at this point.

A streak of azure light left a long afterimage behind it, heading straight for the South Heavenly Gate.

Upon hearing this, Yunyangzi turned his head and looked up, his expression changing drastically. He exclaimed in alarm, "An enemy attack?"

As he said this, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

No, what's been going on all these years? Why are there so many guys flying into the sky?

Here we go again today, is this never going to end?

Mo Youqian was also somewhat surprised, but after taking a closer look, he breathed a sigh of relief and said irritably, "Enemy attack... my ass! Stop yelling at me and scaring me half to death. Isn't that Prince Longji? It's Prince Longji coming home."

Yunyangzi frowned and pondered, "It is indeed Princess Longji, but wasn't she banished to the mortal realm to reflect on her mistakes? Without Her Majesty's decree, she cannot ascend to heaven. Has Her Majesty issued the decree?"

"No...no, if your favorite in the Heavenly Emperor doesn't know, how would a gatekeeper like me know?"

Mo Youqian said irritably, "But now that you mention it, I also think... that young prince is a bit different. He should just go home, why is he so murderous with his sword drawn, right?"

As soon as the words were spoken, Mo Youqian and Yun Yangzi exchanged a glance and were both stunned.

Then... silence.

"I have a bad feeling," Mo Youqian muttered.

"you shut up!"

Yunyangzi glared at him, remembering that last time this guy had just finished talking about Yang Jian and then he was fighting in the sky.

What a jinx!
At this moment, Qinghong arrived in an instant, stopping at the South Heaven Gate, revealing a person and a blue phoenix.

"Greetings, Princess Longji!"

Yunyangzi and Mo Youqian clasped their hands in a salute.

Longji glanced at the two people blocking the South Heavenly Gate, frowned and said coldly, "No need for formalities, move aside!"

Yun Yangzi frowned and looked to the side, suddenly noticing that Mo Youqian had his head down, eyes downcast, seemingly oblivious to everything.

"That damned old fox..." Yun Yangzi cursed inwardly, and asked cautiously, "The Golden Mother ordered Your Highness to reflect on your mistakes at Phoenix Mountain. Your Highness has returned to Heaven today. Has your punishment ended?"

"Are you interrogating me?" Longji asked, frowning.

Having been insulted by Fu Yuan, she was now filled with anger and growing increasingly impatient.

"The general will not dare!"

Yunyangzi advised in a humble yet assertive manner: "But Her Majesty once said that His Highness could not return to Heaven without her imperial decree. Now His Highness has gone to Heaven without permission... This is a serious offense!"

I earnestly hope that Your Highness will not act rashly. I will pretend I never saw Your Highness's whereabouts today.

"Every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt its debtor. There are some things that I cannot discuss with the two of you."

Longji looked down at the two of them and said, "But if you don't move aside, don't blame me for being impolite."

"Why does Your Highness make things difficult for these low-ranking heavenly soldiers?"

Yunyangzi said with a wry smile, "They are guarding the Heavenly Gate according to the rules. If something goes wrong, we won't be able to explain it to the higher-ups!"
