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

Chapter 218 Enlighten yourself

"Legal decree?"

Upon hearing this, not only were the crowd, who were about to make a scene, stunned, but even the gods were surprised for a moment before letting out a sigh of relief.

It's good that a fight didn't break out!

Otherwise, if a fight really breaks out today, who will they side with, and how will they cope?

As members of the Heavenly Court, if they were to get involved, it seems they weren't very familiar with each other and had no connection with that high and mighty immortal.

But if I just stand by and watch without getting involved... that doesn't seem right either.

In short, their position will be extremely awkward at that time.

Fortunately, the arrival of this Antarctic Immortal resolved this awkward situation.

"Senior Brother!" Taiyi Zhenren pulled Yu Ding along and quickly stepped forward to bow to the Antarctic Immortal.

Upon seeing Antarctica arrive, the sharpness in Yu Ding's eyes disappeared, and the sword-shaped immortal light that had been gathered in his hand vanished.

In an instant, the fierce sword energy that had swept across the heavens vanished.

"Senior brother... are you here to stop me?"

Yu Ding bowed to the Antarctic Immortal and spoke in a deep voice, glancing at the scroll of decree and sighing inwardly.

This senior from Antarctica, who was the main force in his mosquito-catching operation, also knew about his trip to Heaven.

This senior brother has also come, and he has brought with him the decree of that master. It must be that the master has some instructions to convey.

At the same time, he also understood that once his master's decree arrived, this fight... would most likely not take place.

After all, the Chan Sect and the Heavenly Court belong to two different camps. Although this Investiture of the Gods calamity is said to be a transgression by the gods, he knows in his heart that it is to appoint the Zhou Tian Zheng Shen (righteous gods of the heavens) for the Heavenly Court!
Seeing that Yu Ding had stopped, Yang Jian, Long Ji, Xiao Fei, and the others had no choice but to disperse their immortal power, even though they felt helpless.

What a pity... Even Yuan Hong, who was far away, sighed inwardly, a deep disappointment flashing in his eyes.

As Yu Ding's chief disciple, he was naturally very clear about his master's name: a disciple of a sage, one of the twelve immortals of Yu Xu, famous for his swordsmanship, possessing great supernatural powers, high magical strength, and unfathomable power.

But these are all just rumors. He knew his master was very strong, but just how strong... he had never seen him.

Not only him, but even his junior brothers and sisters probably hadn't seen it before!
So he was really curious and wanted to see his master's abilities for himself.

I thought I would have a chance to fulfill my wish today, but I didn't expect that I would not be able to in the end!
"Junior brother, the younger generation is ignorant, are you going to be ignorant too and start a commotion?" The Antarctic Immortal said gently, looking at the jade cauldron.

"Senior brother, you are unaware of the truth..."

Yu Ding frowned slightly, wanting to refute, but when he looked up, he saw Antarctica's gaze and couldn't help but sigh.

To be honest, it's not surprising that the immortals of the Chan and Jie sects in the Investiture of the Gods didn't take the Heavenly Court seriously. It's just that the Heavenly Court was really too useless at the moment.

Both the Chan and Jie sects have sages presiding over them and thousands of disciples. With the Chan sect's prestige and strength in the primordial world, apart from the Jie sect, the Western sect, and other major sects, even the Heavenly Court is no match for it.

Unfortunately, even though a sage is above all living beings, he cannot decide everything.

This is because above the Sages there is that old man, who clearly intends to use the Investiture of the Gods to help the Heavenly Court stand up, defeat the Chan, Jie, and Western sects, and make the Heavenly Court the institution that governs the prehistoric world and all realms.

The truth is, that old man did indeed succeed. After the Investiture of the Gods, the Chan and Jie sects existed in name only, and the Western Sect was disbanded on the spot, eventually becoming Buddhism.

Currently, the relationship between the Chan Sect and the Heavenly Court is neither particularly close nor particularly bad; they are like water and water, each minding its own business and having nothing to do with the other.

It's one thing if Longji makes a scene, since she still has the status of a Heavenly Princess, but if he were to intervene, he would be representing the Heavenly Court.

but……

Yu Ding frowned slightly. Would that master really just stand by and watch his grand-disciple be bullied?
"Junior brother, don't forget your place."

The Old Man of the South Pole said meaningfully, and sent out the decree: "This is the decree of my master."

Then, Antarctica gave a wink and delivered the decree to Yu Ding.

Yu Ding took the decree with some suspicion and walked to the side to look at it, while the Antarctic Immortal bowed to the Fu Yuan Immortal with a smile: "My junior brother is ignorant, please forgive him, Immortal!"

Fu Yuanxian glanced at the amiable Antarctic, a hint of apprehension in his eyes, and coughed, saying, "It's just a small matter, Antarctic Immortal, you're being too serious."

Beside him, Yu Ding had already opened the decree, which contained only six unremarkable words: "Heavenly affairs, Heavenly matters!"

"Heavenly matters are for Heavenly Court to handle..."

Yu Ding frowned as he pondered the six characters. Suddenly, one of his fingers began to glow.

In an instant, Yu Ding's eyes lit up, and he suddenly looked up at Long Ji, revealing a smile.

"Longji, come here!" Yu Ding waved his hand.

Although Longji was surprised to hear this, he still lightly leaped down from behind the roc.

"My disciple, today I will teach you two more words: self-reliance!"

Yu Ding said softly, "You'll have to solve your own problems. Are you afraid?"

Longji paused, glanced at the jade cauldron and then at Immortal Fuyuan, his expression darkening as he said in a deep voice, "I'm not afraid!"

This scene left the immortals around them completely baffled. Even Yang Jian, Yuan Hong, and Xiao Fei were utterly perplexed, wondering what kind of trouble their master was up to this time.

Although Long Ji is fierce, there is a vast chasm between his strength and that of Immortal Fu Yuan, a gap that is difficult to overcome. Let Long Ji deal with it himself... Although Immortal Fu Yuan may not dare to kill him, it is conceivable that Long Ji will not fare well in the end.

"Good, you truly are a fine disciple of mine, Yu Ding. Do you still remember what your master said?"

Yu Ding smiled and said, "You have enormous potential hidden within you, and today is the time to unleash it."

Longji asked in confusion, "Really?"

"I have everything, come, sit down!"

Yu Ding said irritably, "Today I will teach you how to develop your potential."

Upon hearing this, all the gods pricked up their ears and stared wide-eyed in this direction.

What the Jade Cauldron Immortal wants to teach his disciples must be a secret method that is not passed down within the sect. If he teaches it in this way, then what secret is there to speak of?

Longji nodded blankly and sat down. He glanced at the immortals beside him and coughed to remind them, "Master, is this a secret that is not passed down?"

"Ahem, junior brother, how about we go somewhere else?" Taiyi said softly.

He was also somewhat confused about what Yu Ding was going to do. Once their master's decree arrived, the two of them would definitely not be able to take action.

If we were to train Longji on-site and then seek out the Immortal Master Fuyuan to resolve his problem...

Taiyi Zhenren shook his head secretly. With Longji's limited cultivation, if the two old bones of them could still have a three-tenths chance of winning, Longji would have no chance at all.

"It's alright, everyone can listen if they want!"

Yu Ding glanced at everyone present, smiled slightly, and Long Ji said "Oh" and then fell silent.

Upon hearing this, Yang Jian, who was standing nearby, and Yuan Hong, who was in the distance, exchanged glances. They looked at the assembled deities, a fierce glint in their eyes, but ultimately softened and perked up their ears.

They both believed that as disciples of Yu Ding, it was perfectly legitimate for them to accept this title.

“Take a deep breath, inhale, exhale… Reach the utmost emptiness, maintain perfect stillness, and observe the return of all things as they arise…” Yu Ding said softly.

This is a famous quote from his senior master in the Tao Te Ching. Although the Tao Te Ching has not yet been published, he still heard this quote from his senior master.

Longji took two deep breaths and then paused, stunned: "What do you mean?"

Yu Ding glanced at her: "Figure it out yourself!"

Here we go again… Yang Jian, who was taking a deep breath with his eyes closed, twitched his facial muscles, while Yuan Hong in the distance had a black line on his forehead.

This master is good in every way, except for one thing: he makes you learn everything on your own, which drives them crazy.

But I must say, the results of my own understanding are completely different from what was explained, and what I've come to understand is entirely my own...

Longji's lips twitched slightly, then he closed his eyes and slowly began to comprehend.

"Figure it out yourself..." These words not only drove the disciples crazy, but also left the immortals completely bewildered.

If you can figure it out on your own, then what's the point of having you?
Unfortunately, since Longji had already begun to understand, they couldn't say anything more.

The Antarctic Immortal smiled at Fu Yuan and said, "Although we are cultivators, it is inconvenient for us to interfere in the affairs of the Heavenly Court, but in any case, Prince Longji is my junior brother's disciple."

This matter needs to be resolved. How about letting my junior brother instruct His Highness for half a day? Would the Immortal Elder agree?

Fu Yuanxian glanced at Long Ji indifferently. To be honest, Long Ji's relationship with the Chan Sect was beyond his expectations.

If the Antarctic Immortal were to come after him demanding an explanation, he might be able to be somewhat wary. As for Longji... he wouldn't even put him in a bad light if his master and Longji were to come at him together.

"Half a day is still too short. I'd be willing to wait half a year," said Immortal Fu Yuan calmly.

If he could close the gap in strength between himself and Longji in just six months... then all those years of hard training he'd spent were for nothing.

Then he closed his eyes, completely ignoring Longji.

"It's up to you now, junior brother..." Nanji smiled slightly, withdrew his gaze, and looked at Yu Ding and Long Ji.

With him here today, the Jade Void Sect members are sure to suffer no loss.

Even though this Immortal Fu Yuan was a very senior figure, and even though he was considered a junior in Antarctica, he still had the confidence to protect his own family.

As for what to do with the rest...

He doesn't know.

A moment later, a strange Daoist aura emanated from Longji, who had closed his eyes.

Yu Ding was overjoyed and asked, "Disciple, what did you see?"

“It’s glowing, but I can’t see anything,” Longji replied with his eyes closed.

Yu Ding's smile faltered: "Emm..."

To be honest, disciple, your straightforward answer is making your master very unhappy!
Yu Ding had no choice but to patiently guide her, saying, "Don't rush, concentrate all your energy, and slowly walk forward. You will find that you will see a door..."

"Not one, but two glowing doors!"

"Huh?" Yu Ding was stunned. Long Ji was at the peak of True Immortal, just one step away from the Heavenly Immortal realm.

He thought he should let Longji enter the Celestial Realm first, so shouldn't there be a door?
So, two glowing doors... what's going on?
