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

Chapter 217 We can't keep taking advantage of the Heavenly Emperor's family like this.

After Yu Ding finished speaking, the surrounding gods and immortals couldn't help but tense up.

It can be said that the moment Jade Cauldron Immortal uttered those words, the atmosphere here reached its peak.

The answer from Immortal Fu Yuan will be crucial next.

The immortals looked at the smiling jade cauldron, then at Immortal Fu Yuan, and slowly gasped for breath before becoming too nervous to breathe.

This immortal brought his old friend Taiyi from afar to the Heavenly Court; his protective heart for his disciple is known to all.

If this immortal's words do not satisfy him, he may very well fly into a rage on the spot today.

"Everyone... step back!"

Among the crowd, Marshal Tianpeng, clad in golden armor, stared at the jade cauldron with a solemn expression, and began to retreat silently.

"what happened?"

"Don't be fooled by this immortal's usual amiable and approachable demeanor; according to the information I've received..." Marshal Tianpeng began slowly and solemnly.

"Tianpeng, where did you get this?" A voice suddenly came from behind the crowd.

"Forehead……"

Tianpeng paused for a moment when asked the question, then turned around somewhat angrily. Finding no one to speak, he said in a low voice, somewhat annoyed, "I have my own channels for obtaining information. Take it or leave it, I'm not saying anything now!"

"Speak up, Tianpeng, what do you know? Tell me now!"

The gods and generals beside Tianpeng were immediately intrigued and, upon hearing this, quickly urged him to quiet down.

"You came to the Heavenly Court late, so you don't know that this immortal was quite extraordinary before he joined the Jade Void Palace."

The Heavenly Court stared at the jade cauldron with a mixture of awe and admiration, and asked, "Do you know what the immortal sword in the hands of the celestial being is called?"

Everyone pondered upon hearing this.

"It seems the immortal has not made a move for too long; you have even forgotten how to slay immortals." Tianpeng shook his head and sighed.

"Slaying Immortals?" Upon hearing this name, the hearts of all the immortals skipped a beat.

Although nothing had happened yet, I suddenly felt a chill run down my spine for no reason, and I felt a little uncomfortable.

Think about it, aren't all of you here today gods?
But the opponent's sword is called Immortal Slayer, which is too inauspicious. How can the gods feel comfortable about this? The gods silently complained in their hearts.

"Indeed, the Immortal Slayer! I have heard that before you joined Kunlun, you used your sword to kill gods and immortals in the primordial world. Otherwise, how did you get the name 'Immortal Slayer' from the swords you immortals wield?"

Tianpeng looked at the jade cauldron and said in a deep voice, "It was all fought to the end. Later, the True Man was fortunate enough to enter the Jade Void Palace and become a disciple of the Primordial Sage. He began to cultivate his character and nature, which eliminated his violent temper and murderous intent, and he became the kind and benevolent immortal we see today."

"Hiss... Is that so?"

Upon hearing this, the gods gasped in shock, feeling a chill run down their spines.

When they looked at the jade cauldron again, their eyes were no longer as casual as before.

Perhaps it was because this Jade Cauldron was usually too unpretentious and approachable that they became somewhat complacent about this immortal, and developed the misconception that everyone was pretty much the same.

But hearing Tianpeng's words today was like a bucket of cold water, immediately calming them down.

Ok?
Although they spoke softly, everyone present was a deity, so how many of them couldn't hear them?
Hearing the conversation of the gods, Yang Jian, who was standing nearby, twitched his ears and looked over in surprise.

In the distance, Yuan Hong heard a pair of golden eyes flash, and Long Ji and the Roc in the sky were filled with excitement.

Master used to be... this fierce?
"Xiaofei, did you hear that?"

Longji's eyes flickered, and a smile appeared on his lips.

"Haha, I'm getting a little excited and can't help but want to cause a ruckus," the Roc laughed.

Hmm? The God of Slaughter Jade Cauldron?
The name of the Immortal-Slaying Sword is all derived from killing?

What's going on...? Yu Ding, who was confronting Fu Yuan Xianweng, was also a little confused. Was his predecessor really that powerful?

Never heard of it!

In the original Investiture of the Gods, he was extremely low-key, leaving all the opportunities to shine to his disciple Yang Jian.

At this moment, all I want to do is shout, which bastard is spreading rumors and misinformation?

Hmm, we must find that bastard Tianpeng and ask him about it afterwards. Otherwise, why did this rumor have to come out at the very moment when the Investiture of the Gods is about to begin?

This... is really too malicious. Isn't this just trying to make people jealous of him, and have the Jie Sect mess with him during the Investiture of the Gods?

This is blatant flattery that could be used to kill someone!
"Marshal Tianpeng, are you sure what you said is true?" At this moment, another voice rang out.

Upon hearing this question, Tianpeng hesitated for a moment.

His thoughts immediately drifted back to the last Peach Banquet, where he met a highly accomplished disciple of the Chan Sect named Shen Gongbao, and they had a very pleasant conversation.

They quickly became close friends, their arms around each other like brothers. Then... Shen Gongbao, drunk, told him this inside story.

However, the chance to drink the Queen Mother's nectar and the Heavenly Emperor's wine in heaven, and to have plenty of it, is not very common.

So he was a bit tipsy, and couldn't remember everything Fellow Daoist Shen had said. Now, when asked if he could guarantee the truthfulness of what he said... he hesitated, afraid of saying too much and incurring the wrath of Immortal Jade Cauldron. Because some of the things he couldn't remember were embellished by himself.

But today, after Yang Jian's relationship with Yu Ding Zhenren was exposed, he immediately became certain that the two were master and disciple.

After all, as the saying goes, "the upper beam must not be... cough cough, like teacher, like student!"
I remember the last time Yang Jian, his eyes bloodshot, wielding an axe, hacked his way from the South Heavenly Gate all the way to the Tushita Palace...

It's a bit embarrassing to admit, but although he tried to stop him that time, and his cultivation level far surpassed Yang Jian's, his aura was completely suppressed by that kid.

This made it hard for him to imagine what kind of master had taught such a fierce disciple.

But if it's Jade Cauldron Immortal, and combined with Fellow Daoist Shen's account of this immortal's past, well, everything makes sense.

Fu Yuanxian glanced at the Old Man of the Moon, looked directly at the jade cauldron, and said calmly, "This old man... has nothing to say."

"So... the Immortal Elder admits to what he did to my disciple?" Yu Ding's eyes flashed.

Frankly, there are too many doubts in this matter, especially the attitudes of the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother of the West, who are the parents, which are even more puzzling.

This time, it was Longji who rose up in resistance, which ultimately led to the situation we see today.

However, in the original Investiture of the Gods, Longji, though unwilling, accepted this fate... This is something worth pondering.

Look, first the Heavenly Emperor's sister fell in love with a mortal and was secretly married off to a human, then the Heavenly Emperor's daughter, Longji, was arranged to marry him, and in the future, there will be his niece...

Thinking about this, Yu Ding was speechless. If there was no mastermind behind this, fine, but if there was, you can't just keep taking advantage of this one person, right?
You're saying that all the female immortals in Heaven have fallen in love with mortals and have affairs with mortals, and that all of these things happen to the female relatives of the Heavenly Emperor's family?
How unlucky must the Heavenly Emperor be to always encounter such things?

The original Heavenly Laws clearly stipulated that the gods in Heaven were not allowed to have worldly desires or fall in love. However, the female members of the Heavenly Emperor's family secretly descended to the mortal realm and married mortals, one after another... What do you think the Heavenly Emperor is supposed to do about this?
On one hand, there's affection; on the other, there's the law. Should I punish my own family for the greater good? They're my sister, my daughter, my niece... But if I don't punish them, how can I convince the public?

This is a test for the Heavenly Emperor time and time again. If the Heavenly Emperor's emotions outweigh the law even once, his prestige in ruling the immortals will plummet.

Furthermore, even if the Heavenly Emperor passes the test, if one of his female relatives disregards the Heavenly Laws and secretly marries a mortal, then the Heavenly Emperor will also be guilty of failing to properly manage his household...

Thinking of this, Yu Ding silently mourned for the Heavenly Emperor for three seconds.

This Heavenly Emperor's throne is truly not for ordinary people; no wonder Haotian's friend refused to take it and wanted to resign and run away.

If he remembered correctly, the one who was to become the next emperor was a lucky man named Zhang Bairen. Old Zhang had seven daughters, and later the seventh daughter secretly married a mortal named Dong Yong, which led to a fairy-tale marriage...

Thinking of this, Yu Ding was speechless again. It seems that the profession of Heavenly Emperor is really cursed!
Only someone with a stupid mind would want to be the Heavenly Emperor!
Ahem, we've gone off on a tangent... Yu Ding looked at Fu Yuan, his thoughts racing.

What he wants to figure out most right now is the stance of this Immortal Fu Yuan. First of all, it can be confirmed that there is definitely something wrong with Fu Yuan.

As for which stance...

In any case, no matter how you look at it, Fu Yuan is not a member of the Chan Sect. Otherwise, as a high-ranking member, Yu Ding believes he would have heard a thing or two.

Furthermore, it has little to do with the Jie Sect. After all, although the people of the Jie Sect don't do anything good, they are quite upright in their actions...

The fact that someone could arrange a marriage for the Heavenly Emperor's own daughter and keep both the Heavenly Emperor and the Golden Mother, two innate deities, silent is obvious to anyone with a brain. There's a saint behind this.

But the problem now is... which side does this Immortal Fu Yuan belong to, the West or...?

Furthermore, Yu Ding thought about something even deeper: was this Immortal Fu Yuan a real person, or just an imposter among those sages?

If Yu Ding can use pseudonyms, why can't those sages?

Putting aside everything else, his moral mentor is a role model, and the number of pseudonyms he uses is countless.

With the methods of a sage, it would be easy to remain unknown and deceive everyone...

Taiyi Zhenren looked at Fuyuan Xianweng, his expression slightly serious, but his Daoist robe billowed slightly, and his immortal power began to circulate.

This Immortal Fu Yuan not only had high seniority in the Heavenly Court, but also a very high seniority in the Primordial World. Although his fame faded later, he was once one of the three thousand guests in the Purple Cloud Palace.

If they were to actually fight, frankly, his chances of winning against Yu Ding were extremely low.

But if Yu Ding Lao Tie wants to participate... can Tai Yi not participate?

Taiyi sighed inwardly. He knew that Yuding never called him for anything good, and what was most infuriating was that Yuding always came running without hesitation.

Their relationship has reached this point!

Then, Taiyi cast an inquiring glance at Yu Ding.

Yang Jian, Long Ji, and Xiao Fei all turned their gazes to Yu Ding, their immortal power surging within them, ready to fight their master.

Fu Yuanxian and Yu Ding looked at each other calmly, without saying a word.

"In that case..."

Yu Ding's expression turned solemn, and with a wave of his hand, a divine light shone forth: "Then this junior will ask the immortal for guidance on his supernatural powers."

First his disciple caused havoc in the Heavenly Palace, and now his master is doing the same thing... Alas, like master, like disciple!
A sword appeared in the celestial light in his hand.

Before the sword even appeared, a sharp sword aura swept in all directions, startling everyone present and causing them to change color in shock.

"Junior brother, hold your hand!"

Just then, a voice rang out, and the Antarctic Immortal arrived, holding a scroll in his hand: "Master's decree has arrived!"
