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

Chapter 298 Jade Void Palace Will Cover Your Fall

Seeing that the Jie Sect members were about to leave, Taibai Jinxing wanted to persuade them to stay, but they were really injured this time, and he couldn't very well prevent them from healing just to eat.

So they could only watch as the immortals of the Jie Sect departed.

"Chentang Pass?"

Yu Ding thought of the location on the wedding invitation, and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

Indeed, a person's fortune and background may change, but their destiny cannot be altered; this is what is known as...predestination.

For example, Li Jing was taught by him this time, rather than by the original Master Du'e, but he still ended up at Chen Tang Pass.

He remembered that Li Jing originally appeared as the commander-in-chief of Chentang Pass, which was near the East China Sea, which led to a series of events such as Nezha's havoc in the sea.

However, when Li Jing appeared, Nezha was already several years old. At that time, King Di Xin of Shang had lured and killed two old feudal lords in the east and south, which led to their sons starting a rebellion to avenge their fathers.

Chentang Pass is located in the northeast of the Great Shang Dynasty, serving as the gateway to the northeast. The eastern gateway of the Great Shang Dynasty was guarded by the famous general Dou Rong and his wife.

Li Jing was worried that if the Jiang Kingdom failed to break through Youhun Pass, they would take a detour and attack from his side, so he was busy training his troops and had no time to take care of his son.

This led to the third son becoming unruly, lawless, and reckless... ultimately causing a terrible disaster.

And this time... they're just about to get married.

It will be about six months from now.

“If someone helps him relieve some of the pressure so he can take care of his son, will things be... different in the future?” Yu Ding raised an eyebrow.

Look, this spirit pearl... oops, I mean Nezha. Didn't that kid damage the reputation of the Chan Sect and the Jade Void Palace after he caused trouble?

Whether it's because he's Nezha's grandmaster or uncle, or just because of his relationship with Lao Taiyi, do you think he has any reason to stand idly by?
Absolutely not!

But... Li Jing is his disciple, and Nezha is Li Jing's son and Taiyi's disciple. In that case... isn't the generational relationship between him and Taiyi a bit confusing?

Ahem, never mind, let's talk about this later!

"Whether for public or private reasons, it's time to make a trip," Yu Ding thought to himself.

He could see Li Jing's invitation through his clone, and he could also feel Li Jing's deep respect and expectations for him as his master in the invitation.

Li Jing is truly pitiful. All his relatives and friends died in the great battle where heavenly soldiers and generals were capturing monsters. Now, only his master is left.

Of course, he also had other reasons for going there, namely to check on Li Jing's condition.

Yu Ding sighed wearily. He hadn't forgotten that Li Jing had a grudge against the Heavenly Court!

A blood feud, the kind that runs deep!

In order to raise Li Jing's potential, he sealed the ancient demon god Bi Fang into Li Jing's body.

Although it was only a part, he added a talisman, but he sensed that Li Jing had obtained another part of Bifang's body, and now almost half of it was unsealed. Such a powerful demonic ferocity could easily corrupt the host.

"Immortal Jade Cauldron!"

"Immortal Jade Cauldron!"

Suddenly, a deafening roar pulled Yu Ding back to his senses. Looking up, he saw that the Heavenly Army, which had been chasing the demon army, had returned.

They gathered in front of the Heavenly Gate. Although they were covered in blood from their fierce battles, each of them wore a triumphant smile and a sense of exhilaration.

This battle... was a great victory!
They all saw that the Jade Cauldron Immortal played a crucial role in the victory of this battle to defend the Heavenly Court.

Although this immortal did not make a move from beginning to end, if it weren't for his shout that drove back the Sixth Prince, the entire demon army of a million would not have collapsed so easily.

If the demon army hadn't suffered a crushing defeat, they wouldn't have been able to wage such a satisfying and brutal battle against a defeated enemy.

Looking at the shouts and cheers below, Yang Jian and Longji behind Yu Ding exchanged a glance, their faces and eyes revealing joy and a sense of entitlement.

Although everyone fought bravely in this war, if we were to say who made the greatest contribution... besides their master, was there anyone else?
But... Longji suddenly seemed a little surprised and whispered to Yang Jian, "It seems like there are heavenly soldiers watching us, and their eyes are strange... like... gratitude?"

Yang Jian nodded slightly and said in a low voice, "Perhaps it's to thank us for helping them!"

"Is that so..." Longji was somewhat suspicious.

Beside them, Marshals Tianpeng and Tianyou watched this scene and breathed a sigh of relief. Indeed, no one deserved these cheers and honors more than Immortal Yuding.

"Brother Yu Ding is mighty..." Seeing this scene, Jiang Ziya was initially embarrassed, but gradually he couldn't help himself and joined in, raising his arms and shouting.

I was just dragged in to make up the numbers. How did a nobody who didn't contribute any damage become the MVP...? Looking at the cheering and shouting heavenly soldiers and generals, Yu Ding remained calm, but he couldn't help but roar in his heart.

After thinking about it, he still raised his hand!

The heavenly soldiers and generals quickly quieted down upon seeing this.

"Fellow soldiers, I have felt your kindness and enthusiasm towards me."

Yu Ding sighed as he spoke: "But to be honest, I am unworthy of these cheers and honors."

You said that the high-level matches in this war were played by Brother Duobao and Brother Antarctic, the mid-level matches were played by Yang Jian, Yuan Hong, Long Ji and their disciples, and everyone participated in the low-level matches.

He was originally going to play a high-level match that didn't match his skill level, but his opponent suddenly ran away, causing his battle to end abruptly after just a few words of trash talk.

He was initially a little depressed because he thought his apprentices and senior brothers had stolen the limelight from him, but he never expected everyone to support him so much!

"Immortal Jade Cauldron, you are mistaken!"

Upon hearing this, Tianpeng couldn't help but say, "If it weren't for the Immortal's shout that drove back the Sixth Prince of the Demon Clan, how could the Demon Clan's morale have declined and their army have collapsed like a house of cards, thus allowing us to achieve this great victory?"

Therefore, this humble general believes that Immortal Jade Cauldron deserves the greatest credit for this battle, and requests that Immortal Jade Cauldron not be so modest.

"That's right, Immortal. Everyone witnessed this with their own eyes, so there's no need for you to be modest."

One of the heavenly soldiers shouted, which immediately drew echoes from the others.

"Yes, and we discovered this during the battle just now,"

At this moment, a voice from among the heavenly soldiers exclaimed excitedly, "After fighting Erlang Shen, our fighting strength has also increased!"

These words elicited nods of agreement from the heavenly soldiers.

"Uh..." Upon hearing this, the three members of the Yuquan Mountain family exchanged bewildered glances.

Apart from Yu Ding, whose expression remained as steady as an old fox, Yang Jian and Long Ji, both of whom were easily embarrassed, were slightly... awkward!
To be honest, there really isn't one!

The Old Man of the South Pole watched this scene with a smile and nodded repeatedly. It seemed that after this battle, the Heavenly Court's resentment towards his junior brother's lineage had completely dissipated!

"Great Immortal, since the immortals from the Jie Sect are unable to attend the victory celebration banquet, you must come, right?" Taibai Jinxing asked.

The Old Man of the South Pole looked at the jade cauldron: "What do you think, Junior Brother?"

"Ahem, Brother Taibai, I'm really sorry, but I have an urgent matter to attend to."

Yu Ding smiled sheepishly and said, "I must take my leave now, Yang Jian, Long Ji..."

Yang Jian looked troubled and said in a low voice, "Master, you know my relationship with the Heavenly Court, but after all, it's Junior Sister Longji's home." Longji glared at Yang Jian and quickly said, "Master, it's true that the Heavenly Court is my home, but if I go back now..."

"Ha, where's that imposing air of those who wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace back then?"

Yu Ding transmitted his voice, "Alright, you can go in and sit for a while. Also, take good care of your Uncle Ziya. I have some urgent business to attend to."

"What's the urgent matter?" the two asked curiously.

"Keep it a secret!" Yu Ding snorted lightly, then cupped his hands and smiled at Taibai Jinxing, "Then this humble Taoist will take his leave."

"Wait a moment!"

The Antarctic Immortal suddenly spoke, looking towards the Heavenly Court's camp, and asked, "Where is Junior Brother Kongxu?"

"What do you want with my clone?" Yu Ding was stunned for a moment. At this moment, a young Taoist priest wearing a purple robe with the Eight Trigrams stepped out from the Heavenly Court camp.

"Greetings, senior brothers!" said the Empty Void Daoist.

The Antarctic Immortal said, "Junior Brother Kongxu, you've worked hard these past few days. Master has ordered that from now on, I, your senior brother, will be in charge of the Heavenly Court. You, go back to Jade Void Palace!"

"Hmm?" Yu Ding was taken aback, and the Empty Void Daoist bowed and said, "As you command!"

"Everyone, let's go back for now!"

Antarctica called out, then said, "Junior Brother Yuding, please come with me. I have a few words to say to you."

He led Yu Ding and the Empty Void Taoist to the white jade railing on one side of the North Heavenly Gate.

"Why is Senior Brother going to oversee the Heavenly Court again?" Yu Ding asked after a moment of silence.

The Old Man of the South Pole sighed, "If I were the one presiding over the Heavenly Court this time, perhaps this wouldn't have happened?"

Yu Ding understood his meaning, after all, the weight and status of the Antarctic Immortal were enough to demonstrate the attitude of the Chan Sect.

"That's not necessarily true..." Yu Ding shook his head and said, "The demon race are all wolves in sheep's clothing, and they've been plotting against the Heavenly Realm for more than just a day or two."

Therefore, regardless of who is in charge, they will launch this war before the Investiture of the Gods is over.

The Antarctic Immortal smiled and said, "That's true! But no matter what, our master instructed the three religions to look after the Heavenly Court. Now that something has happened, we bear an inescapable responsibility."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "From now on, I will be stationed in the Heavenly Realm more often and will not be able to return to Kunlun Jade Void Palace as often. The affairs there will also be handled by Teacher Randeng."

At this point, the Old Man of the South Pole's expression slightly hardened.

"Senior brother means..."

Yu Ding tilted his head, sensing that Antarctica had an unspoken meaning.

"Well, that teacher is a bit extreme in his actions. He's willing to do anything to achieve his goals, so I've always been a little worried about him."

That's why, over the years, I haven't dared to relinquish control of the Jade Void Palace's affairs... but this time, I have no choice but to."

The Antarctic Immortal pondered for a moment and said, "I called you here specifically so that you would keep an eye on that teacher and go to your master if there are any unusual movements."

Junior brother, remember, as disciples of Yuxu, the safety of Yuxu must always come first, and we must not allow anyone to do anything that harms our Chan Sect.

"I understand!" Yu Ding's expression hardened slightly as he lit the lamp.

In fact, aside from Antarctica, he didn't have a good impression of the ungrateful Taoist Ran Deng either.

"That's good. By the way, I heard you had a grudge against Junior Brother Manjushri?" Nanji asked again.

Yu Ding coughed lightly: "It's just a minor disagreement!"

Antarctica said seriously, "Then you need to be careful. Junior Brother Manjushri was personally trained by Master Randeng. With me away and Master in seclusion, you must not act impulsively."

I already knew about the relationship between Dipankara and Manjushri... Yu Ding said earnestly, "I've remembered it."

"Junior brother, you and your disciple did a very good job today."

The Antarctic Immortal laughed and said, "From now on, let's train more disciples like this for my Jade Void Palace!"

"Cough cough, I'm afraid I can't handle it," Yu Ding said with a dry cough.

Nanji laughed and patted Yu Ding on the shoulder, saying, "What are you afraid of? You can't handle it, but don't forget, you still have my Yuxu Palace to back you up. Besides,..."

He transmitted his voice with a laugh, "Don't just pick disciples who have a grudge against the Heavenly Court to recruit!"

Yu Ding: "emmm..."

He'll try his best!
Soon after, the jade cauldron transformed into a golden light, departed from the celestial realm, and headed straight for the Southern Jambudvipa.

As for his clone, Kongxu, he merged with him. Since the Jade Void Palace is now in charge of that old fellow Randeng, he's too lazy to let this closed-door disciple's disguise go back.

At this time, the battle for the heavens came to a complete end, and when the news of the outcome reached the prehistoric world, it immediately shook the entire world.

No one expected that the remnants of the Demon Court, who mobilized their entire forces, with the four Demon Saints leading dozens of Demon Gods and a million-strong army, would ultimately achieve such a result.

The first battle resulted in a crushing defeat, with 100,000 captured and countless casualties...

Who would believe such a victory?
It should be noted that the Heavenly Court had been repeatedly ravaged before, only to escape unscathed and become a laughing stock in the prehistoric world.

Many people think they could do it too!
But after this battle, those beings who had mocked the Heavenly Court felt a burning pain on their faces, as if they were clowns.

Then... many living beings realized what was happening.

That's not right! Can't a few juniors cause a ruckus in the Heavenly Palace and then escape unscathed?
Is it true that the Heavenly Emperor and Heavenly Empress are no longer here?
How could the remnants of the Demon Court, with so many experts mobilized, suffer such a crushing defeat?
Could it be that the Heavenly Court and the Jade Cauldron lineage deliberately deceived the public, staging a play with the Heavenly Emperor's nephew and daughter, feigning weakness to lure out the demons and then capture them in one fell swoop?

hiss……

Countless beings gasped in shock. Upon closer examination, they realized that this was indeed a possibility, and a very high one at that, given that the main force of the Demon Court's remnants had been almost completely wiped out, leaving them severely weakened.

I wonder how many more years it will take to recover to the pre-war level!

As for Yuan Hong... he's a shill! A shill!

Didn't you see they attacked the demon race this time too? That bastard must be a shill hired by the Heavenly Court!
The Heavenly Court is so unscrupulous! They even hired actors, and they played such a dirty trick!
For the first time, countless races and beings felt a chill and awe towards this newly established Heavenly Court.

Of course, as more details of the battlefield spread, the story of Yu Ding shouting at the North Heavenly Gate to repel the Sixth Prince of the Great Luo Demon Saint, thus laying the foundation for the victory in this great battle, was revealed!
In an instant, the name of the Jade Cauldron resounded throughout the primordial world!

Countless beings are curious about what methods Yu Ding used to scare away the Sixth Prince and make him disappear without a trace, or whether Yu Ding's cultivation level has reached the point where even a Great Luo level demon saint would be forced to retreat.
Of course, Yu Ding didn't care about any of the outside speculation, reasoning, or accusations.

Because he only cared about his own apprentice's marriage.

Chentang Pass!
On this day, an old Taoist priest with gray hair appeared in front of the general's mansion in Chentang Pass, looking up at the huge mansion.

The guards immediately stepped forward and asked, "What can I do for you, Taoist priest?"

"Go and report this!"

"Your commander-in-chief's master has arrived..." The old Taoist priest looked up at the commander-in-chief's residence and smiled, "Taoist Taixu has come to visit!"
