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

Chapter 311 Today I Entered the Golden Immortal Realm

With this gesture from Manjushri, the Heavenly Venerable of Vast Dharma,
A golden light appeared, transforming into a large golden pillar. At the same time, three golden rays of light flew out from the pillar and headed towards the jade cauldron.

"Dragon-Hiding Stake?"

Yu Ding stared at the incoming beam of light, his expression seemingly lost in thought for a moment.

In that instant, three golden rays of light flew over and transformed into three golden rings that landed on his neck, waist, and legs, tightly binding him.

Seeing that he had subdued the jade cauldron, Manjushri Bodhisattva laughed loudly and flicked his whisk forward. The large pillar flew over and landed behind the jade cauldron, connecting with the three golden rings.

These events are a long story, but they happened almost instantly.

In the blink of an eye, the situation between the two sides changed and a winner was decided.

"Is this the legendary Dragon-Hiding Stake?"

Yu Ding spoke softly, his eyes flashing as he examined the Dragon-Hiding Stake.

This object is more of a torture device than a magical artifact. Its design is very simple: a pillar with three gold rings connected at the top, middle, and bottom.

However, simplicity is the ultimate sophistication. Its simple design is incredibly useful. Once unleashed, it can instantly bind the opponent's neck, hands, and legs, rendering them unable to move or resist almost immediately.

"Hmm? From what you're saying... you've heard of this treasure of mine?"

Manjushri, the Heavenly Venerable of Vast Dharma, looked at this Taoist in the Heavenly Immortal Realm with a somewhat surprised expression, but was inwardly greatly shocked.

Apart from Huanglong, all of the twelve disciples had been given protective treasures by their master.

His Dragon-Hiding Stake is just like that. However, given their status and cultivation level, they rarely have the opportunity to fight with others, let alone use their treasures.

He couldn't remember exactly how long it had been, but he remembered that he hadn't used it for a very, very long time.

At this moment, does this guy even know about his most treasured possession that he hasn't used in so long?

Do not!
impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
This guy is just making a big fuss... Manjushri Bodhisattva stared at the jade cauldron, his eyes flashing. He was shocked, but then he calmed down. He didn't believe that such an outrageous thing could happen.

"Guess what?"

Yu Ding smiled enigmatically, then twisted his body and neck, bracing himself with his arms as if trying to open it up with force.

With his effort, the golden ring, like a soft strip of clay, was slowly stretched open. But as soon as it stretched open a little, the golden ring binding his arms began to shrink continuously, not only pressing him back down but also tightening its grip more and more.

"Hoo!" The jade cauldron was tightened more and more, but he was not flustered at all. Instead, he couldn't help but praise it: "What a treasure! If the person trapped here wasn't me, I would have to give this treasure a good review right now."

Seeing the jade cauldron's actions, Manjushri Bodhisattva suddenly burst into laughter, coldly snorting, "What ability do you think you have? It turns out you're just putting on a show. If you knew about this treasure, you wouldn't be so foolish as to try to break free with brute force..."

"I'm just testing it out," Yu Ding said with a faint smile.

"What are you testing?"

Manjushri, the Heavenly Venerable of Vast Dharma, was taken aback, and for some reason, a sense of unease arose within him.

"Let's test just how powerful this treasure of yours really is..."

Yu Ding smiled meaningfully, "This treasure truly lives up to its formidable reputation in the Investiture of the Gods. Once an opponent falls for it and is captured, they become nothing more than fish on a chopping board, at the mercy of others."

Unless one is a powerful individual who has reached the level of the Great Luo Na realm, anyone captured by this treasure will first try to break free with brute force.

He had tested this treasure; the duration it could trap someone depended on the opponent's cultivation level and realm.

If the owner of the pet is more aggressive and doesn't give the opponent any chance to breathe, then they can instantly take down the opponent.

In the Investiture of the Gods, Manjushri and Jinzha, the master and disciple, were indeed ruthless people who did just that, relying on this treasure to defeat many enemies.

Knowing his senior brother's ruthless and taciturn nature, Yu Ding dared not risk his life even if he wanted to test the power of this treasure.

As he spoke, his figure suddenly glowed and transformed into a divine talisman, less than an inch long, flowing with divine light, covered with Dao patterns and ancient charm. Then it exploded, and the burst of power sent the Dragon-Binding Stake flying.

"What...is that divine talisman?"

Manjushri, the Heavenly Venerable of Vast Dharma, was greatly surprised. Sure enough, the figure had disappeared. Somewhat unwilling to believe it, he suddenly exclaimed, "Could it be... a substitute talisman?"

The so-called substitute talisman is a kind of talisman that seizes the creation of heaven and earth and invades the mysteries of the sun and moon.

Legend has it that it was created long ago by a primordial deity to avoid some calamity. Sometimes it can even take one's place in death, and its uses are endless.

Unfortunately, it is said that the innate deity ultimately failed to avert disaster and perished, leading to the loss of this divine talisman.

Where would such a thing come from in the hands of a mere celestial being? Could it be...?

Manjushri was startled. Could it be that he had guessed wrong? This guy was not his senior uncle's disciple, but had received the inheritance of that innate great god.

Just then, the sky churned with wind and clouds. He looked up sharply and saw a figure in the sky, hands outstretched above his head and feet, unleashing a palm strike that descended from the heavens. The powerful aura stirred the wind and clouds, its divine might as imposing as a mountain, pressing down upon him like a divine mountain.

"Hmph! Even a grain of rice can shine!"

Manjushri, the Heavenly Venerable of Vast Dharma, raised his head and snorted coldly. He stood with his left hand behind his back and struck upwards with his right palm. The surging magical power flowed upwards like the Milky Way flowing backwards, bombarding the jade cauldron.

Yu Ding stared at Manjushri below, his eyes flashing, and his right palm remained unchanged as it fell straight down.

After learning that the consequence of not slaying the Three Corpse Worms was rage and violent temper, with a strong bloodthirsty nature, and that he himself had just been crippled, he felt weak, pitiful, and helpless compared to his fellow disciples.
So, relying on his original memories of the Investiture of the Gods, he recorded, integrated, and analyzed his senior brother's battle record and combat data, and found his weaknesses.

Ahem, don't overthink it. He just summarized and analyzed the combat data of this one senior brother. He guarantees that it will not involve other fellow disciples, uncles, or apprentices.

And don't misunderstand, there's a reason why he did this.

The main reason was that he and this senior brother had some unpleasant experiences before, and one can't be too careful. So, to avoid the possibility that this senior brother might suddenly lose his temper and accidentally hurt him, leading to a situation that no one wanted to see, he...

To get back to the point, after analysis, he discovered that his senior brother, Manjushri Guangfa, was quite extraordinary. He cultivated the Jade Void Orthodox Primordial Spirit Method, possessing profound magical power and great supernatural abilities. His consciousness, realm, and primordial spirit were almost flawless, with no problems whatsoever.

He's practically a pentagon!
The most proficient combat strategy of this senior brother in the Investiture of the Gods is to first use the Dragon-Binding Stake to control the enemy, and then have his disciple Jinzha kill the enemy when Jinzha is around, and to do it himself when Jinzha is not around.

In the Investiture of the Gods, quite a few Daoist disciples of the Jie Sect fell victim to their master and disciple's three-pronged attack.

At this moment, Yu Ding is about to challenge the sixth side of this pentagonal senior brother...

Just as Manjushri unleashed his palm strike, intending to suppress Yu Ding with absolute power, Yu Ding crushed a divine talisman, which transformed into fragments of time that surrounded him.

Then he vanished into thin air, dodging Manjushri's earth-shattering palm strike, and in the next instant appeared within seven steps of Manjushri.

"Wh...what?" Manjushri Bodhisattva's face suddenly changed color.

He never expected that the other party possessed divine runes related to space and time, which allowed the distance of thousands of miles to be shortened in an instant.

Startled, he quickly extended his left hand behind his back, formed a simple hand seal, and rapidly channeled his magical power to strike the jade cauldron.

Yu Ding simply grinned at this. The obvious characteristics of using divine abilities are great power and wide range, but the drawback is that the intro is somewhat long.
Battle Immortals who achieve sainthood through physical means do not need this time; they can go straight into battle. Every part of their body has powerful destructive force, but their weakness is also obvious: they need to get close to unleash their power, and how to get close is a big problem.

Of course, for a being of such great power as Manjushri, unless he uses some great supernatural powers, he can basically perform simple Taoist arts with ease and does not need to use hand seals.

However, Yu Ding had also estimated that as long as he got within seven steps of this senior brother, his Xuan Body after the sixth revolution would move much faster.

then……

Before Manjushri's horrified eyes, Yu Ding clenched his left fist even faster and struck his elbow acupoint hard, blocking the transmission of magical power through the meridians in his arm. At the same time, accompanied by a clear dragon's roar, Yu Ding's right palm slammed into Manjushri's chest.

Manjushri, the Heavenly Venerable of Vast Dharma, suddenly widened his eyes.

Click!
A powerful and pure force surged into Manjushri's body through this palm strike, accompanied by a clear cracking sound of bones breaking, and the Taoist robe on his back was suddenly torn apart.

"cough……"

Manjushri, the Heavenly Venerable of Vast Dharma, contorted his facial muscles, suddenly opened his mouth, coughed up a mouthful of blood, and his pupils contracted, filled with disbelief.

He... a truly great and powerful being!
He actually vomited blood after being beaten by a celestial being?
"Brother Dao, I have avenged my disciple!"

Yu Ding whispered, and before Manjushri could respond, a glowing palm print, imbued with immense power, shot straight up into the sky and retreated swiftly like a meteor.

After flying tens of thousands of miles, Manjushri's powerful cultivation suddenly erupted, shattering the palm print with his absolute realm and cultivation, forcing himself to stop rapidly. With this stop, the powerful force within his body flared up again, causing him to cough up blood once more.

Whoosh... A fierce and unparalleled gale swept around, and Manjushri was covered in sweat. At the same time, he realized that he had been struck by a palm and entered the gale barrier between the heavenly realm and the mortal realm.

"Tai Xu..." Manjushri's three corpse gods were so angry that they jumped up and down, their eyes blazing with fire. Their gazes pierced through layers of gale and clouds before meeting those of the jade cauldron.

The two gazed at each other from afar.

At this moment, Yu Ding calmly placed his right hand behind his back, his gaze serene.

"Tai Xu...you're courting death..."

Manjushri, the Heavenly Venerable of Vast Dharma, roared, his eyes filled with murderous intent. He could no longer restrain himself and pounced down towards the jade cauldron: "Today I will begin my killing spree!"

Yu Ding glanced at him indifferently, then looked away, closed his eyes, spread his hands, no longer suppressing his peak Celestial Immortal aura, and said softly, "Today I have entered the Golden Immortal realm!"

Manjushri, who was rushing down at top speed, suddenly froze, and his figure swept out of the gale and layers of cloud light, and was now extremely close to the jade cauldron.

Then, the clouds of tribulation surged above Yu Ding's head, and lightning danced across the sky.

Manjushri, the Heavenly Venerable of Vast Dharma: "I @#..."
