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

Chapter 313 Don't panic! Let your master subdue him.
"Fellow Daoist Manjushri!"

Yu Ding turned his head, his gaze as cold as lightning, deep and powerful: "What did you just say?"

At this moment, even he had to admit that his senior brother was in a rather miserable state.

His body was covered in arcs of residual lightning from the heavenly tribulation, causing him to twitch occasionally. His Taoist robe was torn, and his aura was weak, completely lacking the imposing presence he had displayed earlier.

Even if his head is split into an afro, after he gently smooths it out with his hand, the electric arc will travel again and turn it into an afro again.

Manjushri glanced at the jade cauldron with a complicated expression, his lips moving, but he couldn't utter a sound.

Finally, he shook his head, sighed, and bowed with a clear expression, saying, "Senior is amazing. This humble Taoist is no match for you this time... I've lost."

If he were at his peak, facing a Golden Immortal Realm Battle Immortal who had taken the path of physical sainthood, although it would take some effort, defeating him would still be no problem.

But at this moment, he first took a hard blow, and then was caught in the heavenly tribulation, which injured his vital energy.

Although his underestimation of his opponent played a part in the battle just now,

However, he soon found himself being controlled at every turn, feeling as if everything from beginning to end was under the other party's control and calculation, which still makes him feel lingering fear when he thinks about it now.

This led to the almost impossible event of a celestial being beating a peak-level expert to the point of vomiting blood.

He had previously suspected that this Taoist Taixu might be a disciple of his senior uncle.

But now he suddenly changed his mind, as for the identity of this Taoist Taixu...

I ask you, besides those old guys who survived the calamity and were reincarnated to cultivate again, who else could attract such a heavenly calamity?
Who else could beat a saint's disciple to the point of vomiting blood in the Celestial Realm?

After much thought, the only ones who truly understand him are those ancient beings whose understanding and vision of the universe and the Great Dao far surpass his.

"senior?"

Yu Ding raised an eyebrow, feeling guilty, and said, "Ahem, I dare not accept such praise. Please just call me Taixu, fellow Daoist!"

He had some doubts in his mind. Was this because he was dragging his senior brother through the tribulation and had damaged his brain?

Why did they split his generational ranking by a whole number?
That's not following Master... Master, you saw that he called me. I can't figure out my senior brother's thought process either!
Seeing the state of the jade cauldron, Manjushri Bodhisattva became even more certain of his guess and said with some bitterness, "If you really didn't want to, you should have said so earlier. Why have you made such a misunderstanding?"

"I told you!" Yu Ding glanced at him and sighed, "But you wouldn't listen!"

“I…” Manjushri Bodhisattva was speechless. At this moment, another crackling arc of electricity swept through, causing him to twitch and his hair to turn into an afro again.

Manjushri, the Heavenly Venerable of Vast Dharma, had no choice but to calmly raise his hand and smooth his hair.

A cultivator who cultivates both physical body and spiritual body, taking the path of physical immortality to become a Golden Immortal-level battle immortal...

Manjushri, the Heavenly Venerable of Vast Dharma, couldn't help but feel a sense of nostalgia, as if he had returned to the primordial era.

Because it has been a long time since we've seen a cultivator who follows the path of physical cultivation.

In that distant, ancient wilderness, besides the innate saints who secluded themselves to comprehend the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, there were also countless races.

Among these races were some that were favored by the heavens and earth, possessing unique physical advantages compared to other races, and ultimately stood out, leading the first great calamity of the prehistoric world.

At that time, battles were not fought with supernatural powers or magic; they were basically the most direct and simple clashes between weapons, supernatural powers, and physical bodies.

Such a reckless race naturally ended up with all three sides suffering heavy losses.

His grandmaster, through his primordial spirit immortality path, attained sainthood and began lecturing at Zixiao Palace, transmitting the methods of immortality.

This immortal path coincided with the path of their three masters, so they became disciples of that master. As for the witch clan, who focused on the physical body, their paths were different and they could not work together.

Later, the Lich and Demon races fought a fierce battle against nature, resulting in mutual destruction and their disappearance from the sight of the prehistoric world.

And all three of their teachers eventually attained sainthood through the primordial spirit path.

From then on, with the success stories of the four sages, the Immortal Path became the mainstream of cultivation in the world without any controversy!

The Dao values ​​life and emphasizes the primordial spirit. Although some fellow disciples had doubted whether focusing solely on the primordial spirit was a deviation from the right path, the presence of four or five cases of people achieving sainthood was undeniable.

This proves that the correctness of the path to immortality is undeniable.

The Immortal Path leads directly to the final destination, the Hunyuan Daluo Realm, and there are no problems with this path.

Of course, although the path of immortality has become the mainstream, there are still some minorities who insist on the physical path, and there are also a group of people who try to combine the two paths of physical body and primordial spirit.

Their master had tried it and created the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts, a martial arts method that cultivates both the physical body and the Dharma, and is called the Battle Immortal Stream.

However, there is a prerequisite for cultivation: one must first abandon one's cultivation level and start over!
At that time, all twelve of them had already achieved great success in their cultivation, and none of them were willing to give up their vast cultivation to give it a try.

After all, this was essentially an experimental subject, and their master had warned them that there was no guarantee of success and that there was a risk of not being able to complete the process.

Who would willingly stop halfway down a bright and correct path, turn back to the starting point, and embark on a foggy road with no end in sight?
Of course, they also selected many talented new disciples to try and comprehend this profound skill, but unfortunately they gained nothing and were thus abandoned by them.

Thus, the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts became the first protective divine skill of their Chan Sect!

It is said that Yu Ding later studied this profound skill, but of course, Yu Ding did not gain anything. However, his disciple Yang Jian was fortunate enough to master this profound skill.

Yang Jian was also appointed as a protector of the Xuanmen sect and given the title of Qingyuan Miaodao Zhenjun for his filial piety in splitting the mountain to save his mother.

Yu Ding's status in the Jade Void Palace rose with the help of his disciple.

Ahem, that’s too far off topic!

In conclusion, with the current mainstream trend of cultivating the primordial spirit and immortality, the niche path of physical cultivation has almost disappeared.
Nowadays, very few people have the courage to try cultivating both their physical body and primordial spirit simultaneously and reach the level of a Golden Immortal.

Will the path of physical ascension to sainthood become the mainstream in the future...? Manjushri's eyes flickered, and for a moment, his thoughts seemed to waver.

However, he quickly came to his senses and used his Wisdom Sword to sever this distracting thought.

Even if one achieves physical sainthood, no one can ultimately attain the saintly Dao fruit, but the Immortal Path has no such problem... Manjushri Bodhisattva's gaze hardened again, and he said goodbye.

"No delivery!"

Yu Ding watched as Manjushri, the Heavenly Venerable of Vast Dharma, rode away on a cloud, swaying and drifting into the distance. Every now and then, he would be jolted by the power of the heavenly tribulation within his body.

Although this senior brother's injuries were not as severe as when he was ganged up on, they were still quite serious, and even with the help of miraculous medicines, he would need to rest for several years.

Watching Manjushri's miserable figure, Yu Ding sighed, "You've waited all these years to happily accept a disciple, only to be beaten until he vomits blood and is struck by lightning, his vitality severely damaged..."

"Alas, it seems my heart is still not hard enough, not ruthless enough. I'm too kind, too saintly!" Yu Ding shook his head and sighed.

If Manjushri Bodhisattva doesn't take Jinzha to the West in the future, then he wouldn't have any objection to Jinzha becoming his disciple.

Now, we can only ask that senior brother to find another outstanding disciple.

Yu Ding turned around and used the Heavenly Roc Ladder Cloud Leap Technique, his body like a roc, and in a few leaps he traversed tens of thousands of miles.

As a beam of clear light descended, Yu Ding's figure appeared in the courtyard of the General's Mansion. There, he saw Xiao Bai sitting alone in a chair in the living room, looking solemn and deep in thought.

"noob!"

Yu Ding entered the living room and asked in surprise, "Where is your senior brother?"

"It grew a pair of fiery wings and flew away!"

As Xiao Bai spoke, he looked at the jade cauldron, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping himself.

“Hmm? Say whatever you want to say, there’s no need to hold back,” Yu Ding said.

Xiao Bai hesitated for a moment, then looked up and said seriously, "Master, it seems that my senior brother's body has been possessed by a demon... do you know that?"

He initially suspected that his senior brother was a demon, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that it didn't seem like it, so he concluded that the brother was possessed.

"I know a little about this!"

Yu Ding coughed lightly. "Silly child, how could I not know about the Bifang human pillar that I created with my own hands?"
"What?! Master, you know about this and aren't going to do anything about it?"

Xiao Bai was startled and gritted his teeth in hatred, saying, "Those demons are ruthless and have committed countless evils. How can we let him take over my senior brother's body?"

“Disciple, don’t panic. There are some inside stories you don’t know.” Yu Ding had no choice but to tell his disciple about using Li Jing as the container to seal Bi Fang.

"Using your senior brother... as a vessel to seal the demon god?" Xiao Bai was dumbfounded after hearing this.

“Indeed, disciple, the power of this demon god is far too dangerous. Even I had to work with several fellow disciples to subdue him back then.”

Yu Ding sighed and said, "Then I suppressed his power in eight places. Unfortunately, your senior brother accidentally opened one of the seals and was injured by the power of the demon god. His life was in danger, so I had no choice but to seal Bifang in his body."

"So that's how it is!" Xiaobai nodded gently and sighed, "I misunderstood my senior brother. He's also a person with a tragic fate."

"I know that there is an irreconcilable hatred between your two clans."

Yu Ding stroked his head and said, "However, I hope that you brothers will get along well with each other."

As he was speaking, he paused in touching his head, and his expression changed slightly.

"Master, what's wrong?" Xiaobai asked in surprise.

“Bifang took your senior brother to break the remaining seal and release his remaining power.”

Yu Ding smiled slightly: "You, Bi Fang, after waiting for so many years, you finally succeeded."

"Ah?" Xiaobai was shocked. "Master, the birth of Bifang is sure to bring great disaster. What should we do?"

"Don't panic, my disciple!"

Yu Ding laughed loudly and said to Xiao Bai, "Let your master subdue him!"

Once Bifang recovers to its peak condition, it will probably get arrogant again. It's a good opportunity for him to cool down this old bird's head.

He had once competed with the demon god-level Bifang in terms of physical strength using his sixth-stage Xuan Body, and was slightly at a disadvantage.

Although he has not yet cultivated the Three Flowers or the Five Qi after entering the Golden Immortal realm,

But if he still can't defeat a Bifang, then all his training in this mysterious skill will have been for nothing.

Just in time, after entering the Golden Immortal realm, he wanted to find someone to spar with and experience the power of a Golden Immortal who had achieved sainthood through physical cultivation!
……

at this time!

Above a thousand-foot-tall ice mountain spanning three hundred miles in circumference, with a deafening roar, ice chunks and shards flew everywhere, and the entire ice mountain trembled.

Above the iceberg, a figure with fiery wings floated in the air, unleashing crimson demonic fire from its hands, which pierced deep into the iceberg, creating a passage.

boom!
The iceberg seemed to be summoned as well. Soon, a point of red light floated out of the passage, and Bifang's expression became eager.

Before long, after flying out of the iceberg, they saw a small object, no more than a foot in size, with golden runes running across it, and inside the ice was a fist-sized, crimson-gold heart.

The Heart of a Demon God!

This heart was only the size of a fist, but it was as red as jade, with a magnificent pale golden divine light swirling around it.

At this moment, it was throbbing beneath the golden runes. Although it was only the size of a fist, it contained boundless demonic power and a powerful life force.

Upon seeing the heart, even Bi Fang couldn't hide his excitement. He held it in both hands as if afraid of dropping it. Then, with a crack, he shattered the runes around the ice block with his right claw.

Then Bifang watched the beating heart slowly float towards him and disappear into his chest. He suddenly opened his arms, closed his eyes, and slowly clenched his fists, a look of enjoyment on his face.

"call……"

Bifang exhaled a breath of hot air, feeling the long-lost power, and a smile appeared on his lips.

"Bifang, you're completely unsealed now. I've kept my promise to you."

Within the realm of consciousness, Li Jing frowned and reminded him, "You should keep your promise and return to my body."

At this moment, Bi Fang's smile grew brighter and brighter.

When he finally covered his head and started laughing loudly, his expression became somewhat manic...

"Ha, ahahaha, naive child, do you think I'll go back after I've come out?"

Bi Fang revealed a wicked smile, and his body began to glow. Li Jing was then separated and fell from the sky.

Li Jing exclaimed in surprise, and was about to use the Five Elements Escape Technique when suddenly a force stopped his body in mid-air.

Looking up, he saw Bi Fang pointing a finger at his face with a playful smile.

Li Jing said coldly, "Bifang, are you going to break your promise?"

A subtle, complex emotion flashed in Bi Fang's eyes, but he pointed at Li Jing with one hand, shook his head, and chuckled, "Kid, please get your facts straight and figure out who's in control right now..."

"You've relied on me all these years to get to where you are today, but after leaving me, besides the little bit of immortal magic your master passed down to you, the stroke of luck that made you a general chosen by the Human King, and the physique to travel to the Heavenly Realm, what else do you have? What are you anyway?"

Emmm...

Li Jing paused for a moment, then looked up and said, "Isn't this enough?"

Bi Fang's mocking smile suddenly froze on his face. He waved his hand in exasperation and snorted, "Although we've gotten along quite well over the years, you brat have given me no shortage of attitude."

Now that I've recovered to my full strength, I've already spared your life, but you still want me to go back? Let me tell you, that's impossible. As for what I promised you…”

A meaningful smile appeared on his face: "The future depends on my heart... What do you want to do?"

"Have you forgotten our life-sharing curse?" Li Jing asked.

Bi Fang's expression changed slightly as he stared at Li Jing and said, "I don't believe it. I don't believe you'd be willing to abandon your newborn child and beautiful wife..."

Li Jing prepared to draw his sword and said, "Try it. It's worth it for me, a mortal, to exchange for a demon god! You know my temper."

"Good boy!"

Bi Fang's expression hardened, and he said angrily, "I know that you, Li Jing, always keep your word, but no one can threaten a demon god!"

"No one can escape my blackmail!"

Li Jing met his gaze without showing any fear.

"Hiss, this kid..." Bi Fang looked at Li Jing with a toothache. He knew this kid well; if he said he would take him down with him, he would do it, even if there was only a slight chance.

If he wants to sleep peacefully in the future, he must either kill Li Jing or make Li Jing compromise.

But he was forced by that damned Taoist Taixu to swear an oath to Heaven, vowing to live and die with Li Jing and never kill him.

But to persuade Li Jing, whose mind had been hardened by the Taixu, to compromise was an even more difficult task.

But now he has a reason to leave.

Well, let's just take it one step at a time... Bi Fang raised his hand and saw Li Jing grab a point of light in his hand.

"I wonder if the 'Sky-Seizing Plan' has started yet."

Bi Fang looked towards Beiju Luzhou with a solemn expression. This plan concerned the future of the demon race and had been decided before he was captured by Yu Ding.

His actions have consistently supported this plan.

Although after he was captured, the demons even used people to kill him to silence him in order to prevent their plans from being exposed,
He didn't want to have anything to do with those high-ranking officials anymore, but as a member of the Demon Court, he couldn't bear to watch his former brothers fight bloody battles on the battlefield and pretend not to see it.

"By the way, kid, don't you have a grudge against the Heavenly Court?"

Bifang smiled at the fist and said, "Now I can tell you some good news. Your chance to take revenge on the Heavenly Court has arrived. I can find many helpers to assist you... Then we'll be even."

Having said that, he laughed heartily, flapped his wings, and soared into the sky. His expression was one of triumph and excitement as he roared, "Yu Ding, you've torn me to pieces and sealed me away for so many years, but I, Bi Fang, have returned! I'm back..."

Before the words were finished, the sky suddenly darkened.

Immediately following, with a thunderous roar, a massive, sky-covering hand emerged from the clouds and slammed down on Bi Fang's head.
