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

Chapter 209 Mosquito-Catching Operation

The newcomer had white hair and beard, a youthful face despite his white complexion, and a smiling expression. He wore a white immortal robe, held an immortal staff in his hand, and was surrounded by a faint immortal light.

What's most eye-catching about him is undoubtedly the bulge on his forehead... a big bump?
It's quite shiny and bright... Yu Ding smiled and bowed: "Greetings, Senior Brother Antarctica!"

With such a distinctive forehead, it goes without saying that the person who came was none other than the Antarctic Immortal.

"I've met senior brother!"

Upon seeing the arrival of the Antarctic Immortal, Taiyi, Yunzhongzi, and Huanglong dared not be negligent. They quickly stepped forward, swept their whisks, and bowed.

Although the Antarctic Immortal was not among the Twelve Golden Immortals, he was the first to enter the sect and become a disciple of the Primordial Heavenly Lord.

In the entire Jade Void Palace, the Antarctic Immortal is the third most important figure after the sect leader and the deputy sect leader, the Burning Lamp Daoist. The two can also be regarded as the left and right arms of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable.

Of course, what outsiders don't know is that while Randeng is nominally the deputy leader of the Chan Sect, he is actually just holding the title without any real power.

While the Antarctic Immortal is nominally the third-ranking figure, he is actually the Grand Steward of the Jade Void Palace, managing all affairs of the palace.

The disciples of the Chan Sect are generally aware of these matters, but they are not to be told to outsiders.

"Fellow disciples, please dispense with the formalities!"

The Antarctic Immortal raised his hand and looked at the jade cauldron with a half-smile.

Yu Ding looked up and met a pair of deep and wise eyes. He felt a chill in his heart and gained a more accurate understanding of the cultivation level of this third-ranking figure in Yu Xu Palace.

Don't let his kind and smiling demeanor fool you; this senior brother is actually the legendary Elder of Longevity, one of the Three Star Gods of Fortune, Prosperity, and Longevity.

But Yu Ding knew even better that this senior brother was currently the only second-generation disciple of Yu Xu to have stepped into the Great Luo realm.

His master and uncle had long been at odds because of their different doctrines for teaching sentient beings. Meanwhile, three of Biyou's disciples, Duobao, Jinling, and Zhao Gongming, successively attained the Great Luo Dao, while the twelve Golden Immortals on this side did not react at all.

Without this senior brother, not only would the people of the Chan Sect be unable to hold their heads high in front of the Jie Sect, but their master, Yuanshi, would also lose face.

"Junior brother hasn't said yet, who is the surprise prepared for this time?" the Antarctic Immortal asked with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Huang Long nodded and said, "That's right, Yu Ding, what exactly did you call us here for? What big job is it?"

Upon hearing this, Yun Zhongzi and Taiyi also turned their gazes toward the jade cauldron.

"To be honest with my fellow disciples, I've discovered something these past few days..." Yu Ding said, his gaze sweeping across the faces of the group.

Huanglong and Taiyi were undoubtedly his closest buddies among the Twelve Golden Immortals.

Yun Zhongzi, a Golden Immortal of Fortune and Virtue in the Chan Sect, is so lucky that he finds treasures every time he goes out, making him the envy of many.

These people were also members of the Jade Void New F4 that he recruited to form.

With the great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods imminent, they should act together from now on, hoping to share in Yun Zhongzi's good fortune, which would increase their chances of successfully surviving the calamity.

As for the Antarctic Immortal...

To be honest, Yu Ding had dealt with this senior brother quite a few times, but that mosquito was difficult to catch, so just in case, he had to ask a powerful expert for help.

Upon hearing this, the group exchanged glances, their expressions showing surprise.

Huanglong and Yunzhongzi were somewhat surprised, as Yuding was a renowned sword immortal in the prehistoric world, a powerful being.

Sword immortals are unparalleled in their attacks. Based on their understanding of this fellow disciple, they should be able to kill gods and immortals alike, and have virtually no rivals below the Great Luo level.

What kind of opponent is it that warrants this guy calling them here so cautiously?
The Great Luo Realm?

Yes, yes, if it's the Great Luo Realm, then it wouldn't be surprising to ask Senior Brother Antarctica for help.

Yun Zhongzi suddenly seemed to understand something.

Huang Long said irritably, "What exactly did you discover? Can you tell me? Why are you being so secretive?"

Taiyi also looked at the jade cauldron with a strange expression.

"Ahem, to be honest with you all, I have encountered an ancient ferocious beast that dared to kill my Jade Void Sect members."

Yu Ding glanced at the group and said, "So, I've specially asked you all to come and help me... catch this guy."

"Ancient calamity?"

Everyone asked in surprise, "What terrible calamity?"

Yu Ding said meaningfully, "A...mosquito!"

"Mosquito?"

Huang Long was stunned and speechless. "No, is a mosquito worth calling us over? Are you making fun of me?"

Taiyi and Yunzhongzi were also taken aback.

The Antarctic Immortal pondered for a moment and said, "I've heard of a ferocious mosquito from ancient times..."

Yu Ding nodded. Asking for help was something that couldn't be kept secret.

Actually, when Yu Ding asked Yun Zhongzi and the others to summon the Antarctic Immortal, he wasn't sure if his senior brother would actually come.

After all, he hadn't had much interaction with him yet, so unless the Antarctic Immortal was present, he might not rashly make a move that would alert the enemy if he wasn't absolutely certain of a successful strike.

"What a wicked person..."

Antarctica seemed to realize something and began to ponder in a low voice.

"I'll have to trouble you this time, Senior Brother Antarctic." Yu Ding bowed sincerely.

To be honest, the arrival of the Antarctic Immortal was a pleasant surprise to him.

The Old Man of the South Pole shook his head and smiled meaningfully, "It's nothing, just a small matter. Junior Brother, there's no need for such formalities."

If Yu Ding hadn't been sent to Heaven in his place, he would probably still be in Heaven, not enjoying the freedom he has now.

"Come on, fellow senior brothers, this time I've come up with a simple mosquito-catching plan."

Yu Ding looked at the group and whispered, "Senior Brother Antarctic, could you separate that piece of land from the greater world without disturbing that mosquito?"

The Antarctic Immortal pondered, “That wretched creature has been running rampant in the prehistoric world for years. I don’t know the extent of its cultivation. Separating that place from the great world might be possible… but I have no confidence in not disturbing it.”

Yu Ding nodded, pondered for a moment, and said, "Then let's secretly use this world of mountains and rivers to engulf that space, like trapping mosquitoes in a closed door..."

At this moment, within the secret realm of the valley, the figure sitting cross-legged in the cave suddenly opened his eyes, looking somewhat surprised and uncertain.

"what happened?"

The Taoist priest muttered to himself, "Why do I suddenly feel uneasy for no reason?"

He pondered carefully.

Over the years, he has acted recklessly in the wilderness, offending many people.

However, the smaller ones are usually no match for him, and the older ones hide. Later, he even traveled outside in clones while his main body went into seclusion to cultivate, so he has survived safely to this day.

"Am I being paranoid, or... something's not right!"

The Taoist muttered to himself, then suddenly looked up and exclaimed in surprise. Anyone with profound Taoist cultivation would have a sudden inspiration, which was a kind of mysterious feeling about the heavens, indicating that something was about to happen to them or those around them.

Given his level of cultivation, his restlessness indicates that something is about to happen.

"But what exactly is it?"

The Taoist looked around the cave with surprise and uncertainty.

Was it his hiding place that was discovered?
But that shouldn't be the case. He has lived in this secluded valley for tens of thousands of years, and nothing has happened. He is always very careful when he comes and goes.

After pondering for a long time without finding an answer, the Taoist suddenly gritted his teeth, packed up his belongings, and floated out of the cave.

Regardless, his restlessness indicated that he could no longer stay here.

But as soon as he stepped out of the cave, his expression changed drastically: "Ah, this..."

The valley is still the same valley, shrouded in a mysterious gray mist, but beyond the valley and the mist, the mountains and rivers are clear, the grass is lush, and the blue sky is like a canopy.

It's like two different worlds...

From within the gray fog, a figure slowly emerged from each of the four directions, revealing four figures, all with smiles on their faces.

A Taoist priest smiled and bowed, saying, "Greetings, fellow Daoist. This humble Daoist... is very polite."

Everyone was also observing this legendary ancient monster.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call this the first mosquito in the primordial era.

As is well known, the first new species born in the world is always blessed with unique abilities that surpass those of other species.

"Fellow Daoists...who are you?" Mosquito Daoist's expression darkened as he saw the Daoists, his gaze sweeping over them with a chilling intensity: "What brings you to my humble Daoist abode by trespassing?"

"Pfft!"

At this moment, the gentle and kind-looking Taoist priest from the east chuckled, his smile suddenly turning cold: "Mosquito Taoist, stop pretending, you know you've been caught red-handed."

As they spoke, the four Taoists exchanged glances and burst into laughter.

The leading Taoist priest sneered, "You have wreaked havoc on the primordial world for years, committing countless evils and killing countless of my disciples. Tell me, do you want to live or die today?"

"Death? Just the four of you?"

Upon hearing this, Mosquito Taoist remained calm, a fierce glint appearing in his bloodshot eyes.

He has too many enemies, but the elders who have come knocking on his door... at most, there's only one Golden Immortal.

He didn't even consider a mere Golden Immortal a threat.

"My two senior brothers, and my junior brother Yunzhong."

Yu Ding glanced at the three people beside him and smiled slightly: "This fellow Daoist is quite arrogant... It seems he doesn't take our Jade Void Palace seriously?"

"Yuxu Palace?"

Mosquito Taoist was startled upon hearing these three words.

The aura emanating from these Taoist priests was not strong, and he hadn't paid much attention to them earlier, assuming they were just low-level Taoists.

However, the mention of the Jade Void Palace forced him to carefully sense the aura emanating from the three individuals.

It wouldn't have mattered if he hadn't sensed it, but once he did, he was immediately terrified and broke out in a cold sweat.

They were all beings of great power, no weaker than him.

“You…you are…” Mosquito Taoist looked at the four Taoists and began to lose his composure.

"I am Taiyi Zhenren of Jinguang Cave on Qianyuan Mountain!"

Taiyi chuckled, but his eyes were fixed on Mosquito Daoist.

Huang Long stood with his hands behind his back and said aloofly, "Magu Cave, Erxian Mountain, Huang Long!"

Yun Zhongzi politely replied, "I am Yun Zhongzi, a Qi cultivator from Zhongnan Mountain. I greet you, fellow Daoist."

"Taiyi, Huanglong, Yunzhongzi..."

With each new name that appeared, Mosquito Taoist's expression grew increasingly grim. Finally, he looked at Jade Cauldron and asked, "And who are you?"

"I am Yu Ding, a Qi Refiner from Kunlun Mountain!"

Yu Ding's eyes flashed and he smiled, "My master is the Primordial Heavenly Venerable..."

"If you don't tell me, I won't know..." Mosquito Taoist stared at the jade cauldron, speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say.

The fighting spirit that had been emanating from him vanished.

Three of the twelve true disciples under Yuanshi arrived, each of them being no weaker than him... How can they possibly fight like this?
If he beats up these guys, he'll probably provoke the old guys on Kunlun Mountain.

If he still had the will to fight before, now he only had one thought...

If he can't afford to offend him, can't he at least avoid him?
"Fellow Daoists, is there... some misunderstanding between us?"

Mosquito Taoist frowned and said, "After all, I have been cultivating myself here for many years and have not come out of my room. Could it be that I have been... framed?"

"Then... how about you cooperate with our investigation, fellow Daoist?"

Yu Ding raised an eyebrow and said, "This is a good opportunity to clear your name, fellow Daoist."

"Since Fellow Daoist Yu Ding has said so..."

Mosquito Taoist glanced at the group, then suddenly leaped into the air like a rocket: "Then this humble Taoist will not keep you company..."

Before he finished speaking, a giant hand suddenly appeared in the sky, covering the sky and the sun, and slammed down on Mosquito Taoist, turning him into a black line that landed on a mountain.

Boom...

The mountain collapsed, and Mosquito Dao coughed up blood, staring in shock at the sky.

But the Antarctic Immortal descended on a cloud, glanced at him, and said in a somewhat inexplicable tone, "So you haven't yet attained the Great Luo Dao!"

*Pfft...* Lying among the rubble, the Mosquito Taoist coughed up another mouthful of blood in anger.

These words aren't really hurtful, but they are extremely insulting.

He sneered, "If attaining the Great Luo realm is so simple, then why hasn't any of the Twelve Golden Immortals stepped into the Great Luo realm?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Ding remained unfazed, but Taiyi and Huanglong, who had been smiling, suddenly stopped laughing.

The two looked down at Mosquito Taoist.

This dead mosquito really knows how to attract attention... Yu Ding was speechless. Any of the Twelve Golden Immortals would find these words unbearable; they were too insulting.

"What...do you want to do?" Mosquito Taoist asked nervously.

However, at this moment, he was directly struck by the Antarctic Immortal's slap and placed under a restriction, sealing his magic power and rendering him unable to move.

"Is this guy... a little ugly?" Huang Long whispered.

Taiyi pondered for a moment and said, "I think so too..."

The two looked at each other.

After a long time, outside the world of the Landscape Painting.

"Thank you very much, Senior Brother Antarctic," Yu Ding said with a smile.

The mosquito-catching operation, under his command, went remarkably smoothly... one might even say it was overly simplistic.

Nothing happened...

"It's nothing, it's alright!"

The Old Man of the South Pole smiled and asked, "Junior Brother, how do you plan to deal with this scourge?"

"Keep him for now and train him a bit, who knows... he might be useful in the future!" Yu Ding smiled.

However, there must be ways to control it, otherwise it will be like Western religion, a ticking time bomb if kept around.

……

Meishan.

At this moment, the mountains and fields are teeming with little monsters, and there are also several warships floating in the air.

Yuan Hong transformed into an ape-man, clad in armor, and stood in front, below him were the Six Monsters of Meishan.

"Big brother, are we really going to attack the Heavenly Court?"

The six monsters showed no fear on their faces, but rather a hint of excitement.

There's no way around it; the harsh living environment of the demon race has dictated that their understanding is that the strong are respected, and they will submit to anyone who is stronger than them.

If the Heavenly Emperor can hold onto his throne, then he will continue to rule; if he cannot, then he will be replaced.

Yuan Hong looked up at the sky and said, "Before I give the order... no rash actions are permitted."

After saying this, he transformed into a roc and soared straight into the sky.

Guanjiang Estuary, Zhenjun Temple.

Yang Jian stood by the pond, gazing at the sky, his right hand clenching and unclenching as if making a decision.

Finally, a resolute glint flashed in Yang Jian's eyes.
Just as he was about to leave, suddenly, a beam of emerald light entered the mansion, landing and transforming into a handsome young man who called out to Yang Jian and entered with practiced ease.

"Uncle-Master Bixiao?!"

Upon seeing the person who arrived, Yang Jian was both surprised and helpless.

"Oh my, little Yang Jian, you've grown even more handsome in just a few days."

Bixiao laughed and reached out to grab Yang Jian's chest: "Come on, let your uncle check if your pectoral muscles have grown?"

"Uncle-Master...please have some self-respect!"

Yang Jian dodged subtly, his face turning somewhat dark.
