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

Chapter 261 My Friend Haotian, Please Bless Me

The moment the Wushan Mountain cracked open and the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury appeared, it attracted dozens of long rainbows. If it had been longer, only heaven knows how many more people would have come.

Since ancient times, treasures have always captivated people's hearts. It is foreseeable that a great battle will take place here for these treasures, and a fierce struggle is inevitable.

Just after Yu Ding and his disciple put away the treasure vault, a Taoist who called himself Xiao Sheng, a hermit, stepped forward...

Longji looked at the white-robed Taoist who had taken the initiative to step forward, a hint of wariness in his eyes, but Yu Ding smiled nonchalantly and said, "Fellow Daoist, what brings you here?"

Xiao Sheng, one of the hermits of Wuyi Mountain, once saved the Taoist Ran Deng, who was being chased by Zhao Gongming during the Investiture of the Gods war, while playing chess with his friend Cao Bao in Wuyi Mountain. He also used the "Falling Treasure Coin" to collect Zhao Gongming's Sea-Stabilizing Pearl and Dragon-Binding Rope, but was later accidentally killed by Zhao Gongming with a golden whip...

Yu Ding's heart stirred, and information about Xiao Sheng surfaced in his mind.

He knew very well that as he actively entered the world, he would inevitably encounter those familiar names from the Investiture of the Gods sooner or later; this was foreseeable.

He just didn't expect to run into Xiao Sheng while digging for treasure here.

And they even came to me on their own initiative...

The white-robed Taoist quickly smiled and explained, "Fellow Taoist, you flatter me. My magical power is meager, how could I dare to offer any guidance to you two?"

"What brings you here, fellow Daoist..." Yu Ding asked with a smile.

Xiao Sheng looked at the jade cauldron cautiously and asked, "May I ask, fellow Daoist... just now, this place was filled with a dazzling light. Was some kind of treasure being born?"

"What, are you interested?" Yu Ding looked at Xiao Sheng with a smile, while Long Ji narrowed his eyes.

Xiao Sheng's expression immediately tightened, and he quickly waved his hand and said with a smile, "Fellow Daoists, please don't misunderstand. Treasures in this world belong to those with virtue. I can see that you two have extraordinary temperaments and are quite remarkable. It is your good fortune that you two have found treasures. I have absolutely no greed in the slightest."

Then, he glanced around carefully and quickly said, "I've come here only to remind you two fellow Daoists that this place is not suitable for lingering. If there's nothing else... please leave as soon as possible. Farewell!"

After saying this, he made a hand seal, and his body shone with divine light, as if he were about to disappear into the ground.

What reminded me... Yu Ding was somewhat surprised and amused, but he could indeed sense more and more auras coming from all directions.

As the number of people increased, the gazes they cast became increasingly hostile.

Snapped!
A hand landed on Xiao Sheng's shoulder, dispersing the divine light around him and interrupting his spell.

Xiao Sheng turned his head in surprise and saw Yu Ding step forward and say with a smile, "Since you mean well, fellow Daoist, I will certainly accept your kindness. Why are you walking so fast? Let's have a drink together later."

"Damn it, we didn't make it out, now we're going to be considered one of them..." Sensing the increasing number of powerful auras from all directions, Xiao Sheng couldn't help but force a smile that was more like a grimace: "Next time, next time!"

He simply felt that the two people in front of him were extraordinary and possessed a unique aura that ordinary immortals did not have. Coupled with the aura they had previously displayed, he wanted to go up and curry favor with them.

They were going to sell and leave immediately, hoping that if they survived this, they would have a chance to meet again in the future. They just didn't expect things to be interrupted like this...

"When is the next one? What day? Where?"

Yu Ding smiled and held onto Xiao Sheng's shoulder tightly, saying, "Fellow Daoist, why don't you explain yourself clearly?"

Xiao Sheng was almost in tears. He turned his head and said, "If you can truly leave safely, I promise you, my friend, in three days, I will definitely be your friend. Now, can you let go?"

Yu Ding smiled and stopped teasing him. He gently raised his hand and watched Xiao Sheng transform into a streak of light and disappear into the ground. His smile was somewhat profound.

I wonder if that thing... has even been born yet!

"Why didn't Master tell him our identities?" Longji asked curiously.

She could tell that her master was very interested in this Taoist priest; otherwise, a mere rogue cultivator wouldn't be worth befriending or inviting someone of her master's status to drink with.

Upon hearing this, Yu Ding simply smiled meaningfully: "Heavenly secrets cannot be revealed!"

From the original perspective, Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao were unlucky. Although they were rogue immortals, they were outside the Investiture of the Gods calamity and could have avoided being listed and continued to enjoy the carefree path of immortality.

Unfortunately, he was drawn into the great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods by Randeng...

Burning Lamp... Thinking of this name, Yu Ding's expression darkened slightly. Burning Lamp Daoist was definitely one of the earliest beings in the prehistoric world. Not only did he have a long history, but he had also attended classes with his master and senior uncles in Zixiao Palace.

Therefore, he had an extremely high status and seniority in the prehistoric world, and was considered to be of the same generation as his master, Yuanshi.

After his master established the sect, he recruited many disciples in the prehistoric world. Later, in order to avoid the problem of managing too many people, he invited Randeng and gave him the title of vice sect leader.

If we compare the Chan Sect to a university, then Randeng is equivalent to the vice-principal, with extremely high authority. However, his senior brother, Antarctic, grew up and managed the Chan Sect in an orderly manner, leaving Randeng with nothing to do, and the position of vice-leader became a nominal one.

So he returned to his monastery, Lingjiu Mountain Yuanjue Cave, to continue his practice.

Yu Ding remembered that this person was involved in the Investiture of the Gods, and his actions were extremely unethical. He was someone Yu Ding had long wanted to be wary of.

So, now the question arises… Yu Ding remained silent, deep in thought. With the Great Tribulation of the Gods imminent, has that Treasure-Falling Coin appeared yet?

Although this treasure was indeed somewhat heaven-defying and evil, he was not too afraid of it at the moment. After all, this treasure had a characteristic that it could only be used to attack other magic weapons and not other weapons, so it could not restrain his Immortal-Slaying Sword.

Of course, this is assuming the Treasure Coin is in the hands of those two good-for-nothings, Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao. If it were in the hands of someone like Ran Deng...

Yu Ding's expression darkened. He knew that the same magic weapon could have vastly different effects depending on the person's cultivation level. So he wasn't afraid of such a thing, but he would feel more at ease if he had it in his own hands.

He felt that the thing must have been invented not long after the start of the Investiture of the Gods, or perhaps Xiao Sheng had only used it a few times.

Otherwise, Xiao Sheng would have been aware that this magic weapon could only be used to strike other magic weapons, not regular weapons. After seeing Zhao Gongming unleash the golden whip, he still tried to use the treasure to strike it, resulting in his accidental death.

The second question is, does this Ran Deng know Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao?

He remembered that in the original story, it was written that they did not know each other, but when Randeng was defeated by Zhao Gongming and fled, he did not run to any other place, but just happened to run to the two people whose magic weapon was able to restrain Zhao Gongming... That was too much of a coincidence.

and so……

Longji watched as his master began to ponder again, and sighed helplessly. But he had to admit, when his master was thinking seriously... he looked increasingly captivating!
"Fellow Daoists, a treasure was just revealed here, but you two kept it all for yourselves..."

Just then, an untimely voice rang out from a distant mountaintop, and a burly, celestial immortal demon-immortal spoke loudly.

Longji suddenly turned his head, his gaze sharp, and with a flick of his sword finger, a dazzling white sword light appeared, as if the heavens and earth had been sliced ​​apart.

The moment she made her move, the confidence that the Celestial Immortal had in his strength instantly turned into terror... An unprecedented sense of crisis made him feel like his whole body was about to explode, and what was even more terrifying was that the sword energy was so terrifying that his body almost became uncontrollable.

"Move! Move!" the demon immortal roared in his heart. He was a celestial immortal who transcended the Three Realms and Five Elements. He had transformed his own cave heaven into a world and could dominate the mountains in this primordial wilderness. In the outer worlds, he was an existence that reached the heavens and the earth. How could he die here?

Bang... His eyes were bloodshot. He used a secret technique, and blood mist burst from all the acupoints on his body. At this moment, his body finally moved, and the space behind him rippled. He squeezed into the space like a crab crawling into the beach and disappeared into it.

The sword light continued its momentum, then suddenly the void in front of it twisted and disappeared from everyone's sight.

This sudden turn of events left countless creatures from all directions, who coveted the treasure, pale-faced and utterly shocked. They looked at each other, bewildered, unsure of the final outcome.

"what……"

At that moment, a tiny speck of dust on the ground suddenly exploded, and the aftershock of a sword aura slowly dissipated.
"Noisy!" Longji said indifferently.

Countless people gasped in astonishment as they gazed at the figure clad in pristine white robes, radiating an aura of sword energy that seemed to soar into the sky…

As is well known, besides the Sage Tongtian, there were two other great sword immortals in the prehistoric world: Guangchengzi, the immortal of the Chan Sect, and Yuding Zhenren.

Having seen this female immortal today... could it be that the primordial world will soon have another true female immortal of the sword path?
At this moment, Yu Ding's helpless voice came: "Why are you killing again? Haven't I repeatedly warned you that this world is not just about fighting and killing?"

"Isn't it because I'm afraid of disturbing Master's thinking...?" Longji snorted and turned his head away unconvinced.

Yu Ding chuckled and said to everyone, "To be honest, this is where my disciple hides his treasure. It's just that I've forgotten how to get in for so long, hehe... I hope you'll forgive my rudeness."

"Please excuse my rudeness..." The group exchanged bewildered glances; this joke was anything but funny.

Wait, disciple... master?
The expressions of the people from all directions changed. They had thought they were a couple of Daoist practitioners, or that the female sword immortal in the Golden Immortal realm was their master.

how……

If the disciple is so capable, how high must the master's level of cultivation be?
A powerful being... a Great Luo... or a Quasi-Saint?
"Don't dare, don't dare!"

"I've disturbed you, Immortal. Farewell!"

In an instant, farewells echoed from all directions, followed by countless rainbows streaking across the sky.

"They run pretty fast!" Longji snorted.

Yu Ding laughed and said, "Of course, who can blame me for my disciple's prowess!"

“No, what is this disciple’s cultivation level? It’s probably because they think Master is more powerful…” Longji thought for a moment and added, “After all, they’re not stupid.”

Yu Ding: "..."

"Master, shall we still go to the fifth treasure vault?" Longji asked.

"If you really dig it all out, your father will come back and fight me to the death..." Yu Ding coughed and waved his hand, saying, "Forget it, forget it. I've done the calculations, and the first few treasure troves should be enough. You should go to the Heavenly Court to pay off your debts first."

"And what about Master?" Longji nodded slightly.

Yu Ding said, "I will try to find a way to open this treasure vault and see what's inside."

As she spoke, anticipation shone in her eyes; it had been so long since she had experienced the thrill of opening a treasure chest!
My dear friend Haotian, please bless this humble Taoist with some good items!
