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

Chapter 238 My Disciple Has an Idea
P.S.: There should have been three things at the end of the previous chapter, which has been corrected!

"Wh...what is it?" Li Jing looked at Yu Ding's smile with some surprise.

"First, don't go to the Heavenly Court! Second, don't go to the Heavenly Court!"

As Yu Ding spoke, his smile vanished, and he looked intently at Li Jing, raising three fingers in a row: "Third, it's still best not to go to the Heavenly Court!"

These apprentices were all too troublesome, each with a criminal record, which made him wary.

In short, if Li Jing insists on seeking justice for those who have passed away, frankly, I wouldn't object.

He just hoped Li Jing wouldn't recklessly run off to the Heavenly Court!

"Um, Master, are you serious? Say it once, that's enough. I can hear you clearly."

Li Jing muttered to his somewhat eccentric master, then paused for a moment before a sly glint flashed in his eyes: "Moreover, Yu Ding Zhenren's disciple Yang Jian once wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace for his mother, earning a formidable reputation."

My master demands that I be no less than Yang Jian. If I truly cultivate to such a level, how can I prove I'm stronger than Yang Jian and demonstrate my master's prestige without a trip to the Heavenly Court?

If you want to ask for something for your beloved family, friends, or brothers, just say so. Don't give me any of this nonsense...

"They don't know how to learn the good things, but they can learn the bad things just by looking at them."

Yu Ding snorted irritably, "In short, you just can't go to the Heavenly Court."

"The greater the reputation a disciple makes, the more renowned the master will be, won't he?"

Li Jing spoke with conviction, then his tone shifted to a low murmur, "Besides, didn't Master say he wouldn't interfere in his disciples' private affairs?"

“Yes, I won’t interfere, but your going to the Heavenly Court is not your private matter…” Yu Ding sighed.

He was also conflicted, because to be honest, after hearing about Li Jing's experience, he really supported Li Jing going to the Heavenly Court to seek justice.

The heavenly soldiers and generals mistakenly killed so many mortals during that operation, and this was certainly not the only time. There must be many more similar incidents that are unknown to the public.

No matter how legitimate their reasons may be, after killing those ordinary people, they should at least apologize to the survivors.

But they didn't utter a single word...

Yu Ding could come up with a bunch of reasons and excuses for them not to go, such as being too busy with official duties or not having received approval from above... But no matter how many reasons he gave, he knew that the Heavenly Generals simply didn't care about those lives.

There are actually two types of deities: those who are compassionate and care about the lives and deaths of mortals, and those who are overly arrogant and regard the lives of mortals as worthless.

If Li Jing, in his mortal form, could teach those immortals a lesson, it would surely deliver a crushing blow to those arrogant fellows in the Heavenly Court, bringing them to their senses.

To put it simply, among all these disciples, Yu Ding felt that Li Jing's reason for going to the Heavenly Court was the most justifiable.

No one in this world has more right to demand justice than the victim...

But then again, Yu Ding looked conflicted. If he let Li Jing make another trip to the Heavenly Court, the one from Yu Xu Palace would probably come and suppress him personally.

He can hide the fact that he uses an alternate account from others, but can he hide it from his own master?

He'd already come up with his excuse for suppressing him...

Your Grandmaster Hongjun told us to take care of the Heavenly Court, but you, Yuding, are teaching people to dismantle the Heavenly Court one by one. What exactly do you mean by that?
"Ugh, what a headache!" Yu Ding sighed as he thought of this.

Li Jing noticed Yu Ding's predicament and pondered for a moment before saying, "Master, I have an idea."

No, you didn't... Yu Ding glanced at him: "Speak!"

“I can give them a chance. I promise you that I will not cause trouble for the heavenly soldiers and generals after I go down the mountain.” Li Jing’s tone changed, and a sharp glint flashed in his eyes. “But if I encounter them and they still do not repent and still disregard the lives of mortals, then… Master, could you please not interfere?”

After saying this, Li Jing bowed his head and made a gesture of respect towards the jade tripod.

He was waiting for his master's answer, but he only felt a gust of wind. When he looked up, he saw that the figure on the stone had disappeared at some point.

Master… Li Jing sighed heavily upon seeing this. After all his beloved relatives, friends, brothers and sisters died, he had to bear all that burden alone. Sometimes it was just too tiring.

As the only person who had listened to his grievances, and also as his master, Yu Ding hoped to receive understanding and support.

but……

But what is that?
Just as Li Jing was feeling lost and sighing, he suddenly caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of his eye. Upon closer inspection, he saw that there was now a scroll of jade celestial book on the bluestone where the jade cauldron had been.

Li Jing quickly stepped forward, picked it up, and opened it by the moonlight. He saw the first five lines of the jade book in gold-painted dragon and phoenix script.

"Five, movement... Great Escape?"

After slowly recognizing the four characters, Li Jing clutched the Heavenly Book tightly, held it to his chest, and exclaimed with ecstatic joy, "Hahaha, thank you, Master! Hahaha, your disciple will not let you down!"

Only those who have witnessed the incredible power of gods and demons can understand how vast the difference is.

It's like the difference between a dragon in the sky and an ant on the ground—the gap is so vast that it leaves you in despair and powerless.

How could he not understand that this scroll of heavenly book was left to him by his master?
This scroll of heavenly book also made him understand his master's intentions.

My master understands me and supports me... A deep sense of gratitude and emotion flashed in Li Jing's eyes, and he seemed to suddenly have a boost of motivation.

He immediately sat down cross-legged, the moonlight shining on him, and began to study the celestial book with complete concentration.

"You won't let me down?"

Inside the Floating Light Cave, Yu Ding shook his head with a smile. This Li Jing was overthinking things; he really wouldn't be disappointed.

Because he never had any expectations for Li Jing; he only hoped that... Li Jing wouldn't disappoint him as he practiced.

As for the Five Elements Great Escape...

There is a profound meaning in why the jade tripod was kept only for this purpose, while nothing else was left behind.

He remembered that Li Jing had learned the Five Elements Escape Technique, which could be used to travel or escape, but his technique was not comparable to the simple Five Elements Escape Technique.

The Five Elements Escape Technique was merely a child compared to his Great Five Elements Escape.

This Five Elements Great Escape is one of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Techniques he compiled. It contains not only Five Elements Escape Techniques but also Five Elements Immortal Techniques, making it a heavenly book that encompasses the wonders of the Five Elements' generation, restraint, and transformation.

If Li Jing could learn this, even if he couldn't become an immortal, he would still be an extremely powerful figure in the human realm.

"I wonder if this kid can cultivate into an immortal through this..."

Yu Ding pondered, "The so-called Immortals are cultivators who know that the Great Dao is difficult to achieve, so they do not comprehend the Great Dao, but only obtain a method within the Dao, and an art within the method, and cultivate it with superhuman effort and perseverance."

Among the generals of the Shang Dynasty who defended the land during the Investiture of the Gods war, those with unparalleled martial arts skills and extraordinary abilities could be called immortals.

Of course, even if it can't be repaired, it's not a big problem.

Yu Ding's eyes flashed, and a smile appeared on his lips, because for this disciple... he was using two teaching methods simultaneously.
