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

Chapter 308 Senior Brother Manjushri, you arrived quite quickly!
On the cliff.

Xiao Bai knelt obediently in front of Yu Ding, his eyes clear as he looked at his prospective master, while Yu Ding was also sizing up his prospective disciple.

Suddenly, Yu Ding looked at Crown Prince Changqin and said, "Is this child a relative of Brother Changqin?"

That great calamity of the lich consumed most of the top combat power of both sides and severely damaged their strength.

The demon race chose to leave the Heavenly Realm and flee to the Northern Continent of Lu. Because the witch race looked very similar to the human race, some witch tribes chose to go far away, while others intermarried and assimilated with the human race.

When it comes to the Wu tribe, Yu Ding describes them as being too similar to the human race.

Both of them not only have human-like appearances, but their blood structure is also very similar to that of humans, and the color is bright red.

The biggest difference between the two races is probably that the witch race is born stronger, warlike by nature, irritable, and has a strong fighting instinct, while the human race is born weaker, but in return, they are more quick-witted and have a calmer and more stable personality.

“Indeed, he is a descendant of my Wu clan. His ancestors were a branch that had lived in seclusion, and by the time I met them, the entire clan had already died,” Prince Changqin readily admitted.

"I see..." Yu Ding looked at Xiao Bai and nodded gently. It seemed that Xiao Bai was also a child with a tragic fate. He wondered if Xiao Bai had any deep-seated hatred for the Heavenly Court...

Because his disciple caused trouble in Heaven, he is always uneasy when accepting disciples, but he can't ask him that in front of Prince Changqin.

Seeing that Yu Ding stared at Xiao Bai for a long time without reacting, Crown Prince Changqin frowned slightly and said, "Although this child has extremely pure Wu clan bloodline, his talent and aptitude are slightly lacking."

If Brother Yuding is not satisfied, I have a young musician from Yaoshan whose talent is among the best in our clan. Brother Yuding should like him when he sees him.”

The jade cauldron carries the supreme heritage of their Wu clan, which must be taken back, but for both public and private reasons, it is impossible to forcibly seize it.

Therefore, he thought the best solution was to have the people of the Wu tribe become Yu Ding's disciples and learn the Wu tribe's traditions.

This person could be a novice or any child from the Wu clan. It doesn't matter who they are; what matters is being chosen by Yu Ding to learn the Wu clan's heritage.

Upon hearing this, a hint of nervousness appeared in Xiaobai's eyes as he knelt on the ground.

Upon hearing this, Yu Ding, who was deep in thought, snapped out of his reverie and looked down at the boy, who in turn looked up in surprise.

Their eyes met in mid-air.

Yu Ding looked into those eyes, his expression suddenly changed slightly, and then a bright smile appeared on his face as he looked at Prince Changqin: "No need. When I take on a disciple, I believe in fate. No matter how good the child Brother Changqin speaks of is, it has nothing to do with me."

In the depths of those clear eyes, he saw a kind of unwavering determination he had almost never seen before!
Upon hearing this, Qin Tong Xiaobai looked at the jade cauldron and revealed the joy of being chosen. The jade cauldron in his eyes shone brightly for a moment.

Prince Changqin nodded slightly and said, "Alright, then I won't say anything more. Little Bai, why don't you pay your respects to your master?"

Xiao Bai immediately kowtowed and said, "Master, please accept my three bows."

"Very good! Now that you have become my disciple, I will do my best to teach you. You must also cultivate diligently and not slack off."

Yu Ding smiled and said, "In addition, there are three rules that you must abide by before you can become my disciple. Can you abide by them?"

"Rules?" Xiao Bai was taken aback, then quickly said, "Master, please speak. This disciple is all ears."

Yu Ding held up one finger and said, "First, cultivation is not only about strength, but also about learning and abiding by virtue."

Xiao Bai nodded: "This disciple can guard it!"

"Secondly, after joining my sect, you must always act in accordance with the 'Way' and uphold the 'reason' in everything you do!" Yu Ding extended his second finger.

Xiao Bai was taken aback: "Acting on the 'right' and claiming the 'reason'?"

Yu Ding nodded slightly and said, "To act on behalf of Heaven, one must be in the right to go anywhere in the world, to have a clear conscience, and to be righteous and confident. If one is in the right, no one can defeat him. Cough cough, you will understand in time."

Beside him, Prince Changqin's eyes lit up as he listened, and he glanced deeply at the jade cauldron.

I must say, this guy really knows how to teach his disciples. Just this one point alone is enough for his disciples to roam the world freely if they can understand it.

Xiao Bai seemed to be deep in thought!
"The third one is still about reason."

Yu Ding said, "I do not expect you to uphold justice and maintain peace in the Three Realms after learning these skills, but if you use the skills I teach you to do things that are against Heaven and reason, and to bring disaster to the Three Realms..."

"What would happen otherwise?" Prince Changqin couldn't help but ask.

Yu Ding glanced at him, then stared intently at Xiao Bai and said, "This humble Daoist will cleanse the sect, crushing the traitor's body to dust and banishing his soul to the Netherworld, where he will never be reincarnated!"

Now we need to give people a heads-up before accepting apprentices!
Xiao Bai shuddered, feeling a deep chill, and hurriedly said, "This disciple wouldn't dare! This disciple will remember!"

Yu Ding nodded slightly and helped Xiao Bai up, saying, "Get up. From now on, you will be my disciple, Yu Ding."

"Yes, Master!" Xiaobai said happily.

Watching the scene of the loving master and obedient disciple, Crown Prince Changqin's eyes flickered. Seeing that Xiaobai had really become a disciple of Yuding Sect, he was troubled again.

In terms of aptitude, that child from Yaoshan is far superior to Xiaobai. If he had been born in the era of the Wu Clan's upheaval, with the guidance of the Ancestral Wu, he would definitely have the potential to become a Great Wu. If he can learn the inheritance this time, he might also reach that level.

And this newbie... he felt that his potential was limited.

After thinking for a moment, Crown Prince Changqin stepped forward again, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "Ahem, Brother Yuding."

Yu Ding asked, "Brother Changqin, is there anything else?"

Crown Prince Changqin coughed and said, "I have another matter I would like to ask Brother Yuding for."

Yu Ding's expression was strange, but having received such a great favor, he felt indebted and said, "Brother Changqin, please speak!"

Prince Changqin said with eager eyes, "I also have a page who has the potential to become a great shaman!"

Yu Ding's expression grew increasingly strange: "Hmm?"

"The potential of a great shaman... isn't that the realm of the Great Luo? Changqin's evaluation is really high."

“You’re herding this sheep, and you’re teaching these two apprentices too. Brother Yuding, why don’t you take that young musician in as well?” Prince Changqin warmly grasped Yuding’s hand.

I'm really fed up with this guy... Yu Ding: "(_)"

"Well, Brother Changqin, cough cough, I'm about to undergo my tribulation."

Yu Ding coughed lightly and said, "We'll talk about that next time. I need to find a place to undergo my tribulation first!"

After saying this, the jade cauldron picked up Little White, soared into the sky, and transformed into a golden light that disappeared in an instant.

"Alright then, I'll tell him to wait for you at your temple, Yuquan Mountain."

Prince Changqin waved and called out, but the jade cauldron had already disappeared from his sight.

"Brother Yuding, you are truly a busy man!"

Crown Prince Changqin sighed, "I'm still too shy. Otherwise, I would have asked Brother Yuding to take me in as well, so I could witness the legacy of our ancestors..."

……

At this moment, a streak of light flew through the air toward Chentang Pass.

"Isn't Master going to undergo tribulation?" Xiaobai asked in surprise.

Yu Ding coughed lightly: "There is something here that is more important than my tribulation."

In ancient times, there was the Five Elements Escape Technique; today, Yu Ding has unleashed a Heavenly Tribulation Escape Technique.

There was no other way; he felt that if he stayed any longer, Changqin would want to become his disciple, so it was best to slip away first.

For others, finding a genius disciple is incredibly difficult, but for him, who had suffered enough from having a genius disciple, an ordinary disciple was far more reassuring than a genius one.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Bai let out an "Oh," a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes, but she didn't ask any further questions. Instead, she sat quietly on the cloud, hugging her knees, lost in thought. "What are you thinking about?" Yu Ding asked curiously.

Xiao Bai said quietly, "Master, this disciple... misses home."

"Hmm? By the way, I heard from Brother Changqin that your tribe was almost completely wiped out. What happened?" Yu Ding asked thoughtfully.

This shouldn't be something the Heavenly Court did, right?
“Slaughter…” Xiaobai tried hard to recall, and slowly, the painful memories on his face faded, and a halo above his head disappeared.

"A seal?" Yu Ding was taken aback, while at this moment, a deep fear had been stirred in Xiao Bai's eyes as he said, "Many years ago, a group of powerful demons found our tribe. Without saying a word, they killed everyone they saw and set fire to the place. We were no match for them. Everyone was crying and running away..."

As he spoke, Xiaobai began to tremble all over, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying.

"demon?"

Yu Ding's expression darkened; it seemed to be a historical issue left over from the Great Lich Calamity.

The Wu tribe has intermarried and assimilated with the human race, while some have gone far away to multiply and preserve the Wu tribe's bloodline.

After years of recuperation, the demon race has recovered much of its strength and is now wreaking havoc on these witch tribes, seemingly intending to completely exterminate the witch race.

"Alright, it's alright! From now on, you should stay by my side and cultivate diligently!"

Yu Ding squatted down and stroked Xiao Bai's head: "As long as your master is here, no demon will be able to bully you anymore."

Perhaps it was the connection between the Wu tribe and the Three Pure Ones, or perhaps it was the similar appearance of the Wu tribe to humans, but in any case, Yu Ding did not reject the Wu tribe.

Prince Changqin's decision to seal away this memory was not without reason.

Although Yu Ding felt that simply running away from the present was not the solution, and that what needed to be faced would eventually have to be faced, it was still too early to talk about it later!
A moment later, Xiaobai came to her senses, a look of confusion flashing in her eyes, and looked at Yu Ding in surprise: "Master?"

Yu Ding smiled and said, "We're almost there."

Whether it's the witch race or the demon race, there must be good and bad among them, and it would be a great pity for a race to become extinct.

Currently, the demon race is undoubtedly stronger than the witch race. Although the demon race was severely weakened in the last war to seize the heavens, its top combat power has not been significantly reduced.

The art of rulership emphasizes checks and balances, and the principles of Yin and Yang in the universe are undoubtedly the same. It wouldn't be a bad idea to train an excellent disciple from the Wu tribe.

"I wonder if this child can handle it..."

Yu Ding looked at Xiao Bai. It was true that he had pure Wu Clan blood, but in terms of talent, he was at the bottom among Wu Clan warriors.

"Where are we?" Xiaobai asked, startled.

"At your senior brother's house!"

Yu Ding smiled, made a hand seal, and a beam of light silently entered Xiao Bai's eyes.

This was an illusion; he then shone with divine light and transformed into an old Taoist priest.

However, in Xiaobai's eyes, the jade cauldron was still the same jade cauldron, without any change.

At this moment, inside the General's Mansion at Chentang Pass.

"Wow~"

With a baby's cry, a midwife emerged carrying a newborn, beaming with joy, and said, "Congratulations, General Li, it's a son!"

"Son? I have a son? My Li family finally has an heir."

Li Jing was overjoyed as he took the child. Looking into the clear eyes of the infant in the swaddling clothes, the joy on his face gradually faded, and he sighed in his heart: "Child, being born into my Li family is your misfortune."

As a male member of the Li family, one must bear the grievances and hatred of one's ancestors.

This is undoubtedly a huge and heavy burden, but before justice is served for those people, all the men of the Li family must shoulder it.

"pity……"

Li Jing glanced regretfully into the distance; his master had not yet returned.

At this moment, a servant came in and said, "Master, a Taoist priest has come to see you."

"Please come in quickly!" Li Jing said with great joy, but his smile quickly froze.

A Taoist priest with an air of otherworldly wisdom, dressed in a yellow Bagua robe, entered the room, bowed, and said, "General Li, this humble Taoist greets you."

Li Jing was somewhat disappointed, but still asked, "May I ask who you are, Immortal Master, and where you cultivate in your immortal mountain cave? What brings you here today?"

The Taoist priest laughed and said, "I am Manjushri, the Heavenly Venerable of Vast Dharma, from the Cloud Cave of Five Dragon Mountain. I foresaw that General Li would be blessed with a son, so I came here to offer my congratulations."

"So it's the Immortal Manjushri. I've been rude..." Li Jing bowed slightly, his eyes showing surprise.

As Lingzhuzi's good friend, and someone who almost became Yuding Zhenren's disciple, how could he not know the names of the Twelve Golden Immortals?

"General Li, there's no need for such formalities."

Manjushri Bodhisattva smiled, glanced at Li Jing carrying the baby, and said with a smile, "Young master, may I name him?"

"It hasn't been named yet!" Li Jing frowned slightly.

Manjushri, the Heavenly Venerable of Vast Dharma, smiled and said, "How about I give you a name?"

"This one……"

Li Jing looked troubled: "I dare not hide anything from you, Immortal. I plan to ask my master to name this child!"

Manjushri Bodhisattva's expression hardened slightly, and though somewhat displeased, he patiently asked, "Your master is..."

Li Jing said with a proud look, "My master is the True Man Taixu from the Floating Light Cave of Flying Cloud Mountain. You must have heard of him, right?"

"Huh?" Manjushri looked puzzled, but coughed lightly under Li Jing's gaze: "This... perhaps I've been out and about too little this year and am ignorant of the world, I've never heard of this before!"

Who is this Taixu Zhenren...? Manjushri Guangfa Tianzun was completely bewildered at this moment.

He had been wandering in the wilderness for many years, how come he had never heard of this person?

"Uh..." Li Jing was somewhat disappointed, but still said, "My master should be here soon. He can introduce you to me then! Please wait in the main hall, I'll be right there."

"Alright!"

Manjushri, the Heavenly Venerable of Vast Dharma, nodded slightly, his eyes flashing.

I'll have to see who Master Taixu really is later.

Normally, if he came to name the child when the child was born, that would be enough to mark the child with his mark, and others would have to think twice before taking him as an apprentice.

He can be taken away and trained once he grows up.

Who knew that when he came, a mysterious figure named Taixu would appear and ruin his plans...

"Senior brother?"

Xiao Bai stood up in surprise and saw a majestic pass standing before him, resembling a giant beast lying prostrate on the earth.

Yu Ding nodded slightly, looking at Chen Tang Pass ahead, a deep smile on his face.

Brother Manjushri, you arrived quite quickly!
