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

Chapter 315 How about calling him Li Tiedan'er?
"Is it really you? Taixu!"

"Master?! It really is you!"

Two exclamations rang out, using different titles, but referring to the same person.

Bi Fang's pupils contracted as he stared at the suddenly appearing jade cauldron. He staggered back as if he had seen a ghost, exclaiming incredulously, "No, how is this possible? You... Manjushri, the Heavenly Venerable of Vast Dharma, you two didn't fight?"

"The atmosphere has been built up to that extent, do you think it's appropriate not to have a fight?" Yu Ding said with a faint smile.

"Master!" Li Jing was both surprised and delighted when he saw the jade cauldron. He stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Disciple greets Master."

"Disciple, you may dispense with the formalities!"

Yu Ding smiled, swept his whisk, glanced at Bi Fang beside him whose expression was uncertain, and nodded secretly.

This disciple has done a good job training this demon god!
Bi Fang's expression shifted between light and dark for a moment before he suddenly looked up and asked, "Who... won?"

"Fellow Daoist Bifang, guess... who won?" Yu Ding asked with a faint smile.

Bi Fang's pupils contracted, and he shook his head, saying, "You? Impossible, absolutely impossible. You're just a mere Celestial Immortal, how could you possibly defeat a great being like Manjushri Bodhisattva..."

"Fellow!"

Yu Ding smiled meaningfully and said, "Are you really sure that my strength is only what you see? Could it be that I deliberately showed you what I was capable of?"

"You...you've been hiding your cultivation level?"

Bi Fang's face flashed with realization. He looked at the jade cauldron with shock, anger, and hatred, and asked with some confusion, "Just how deep is your cultivation? You can defeat me, you must have cultivated to the point of becoming a great master through the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top and the Five Qi Converging at the Origin."

He felt that the Taoist Taixu was unfathomable and annoying at this moment.

Bifang had roamed the prehistoric world for many years, but if we're talking about the person he hated the most, Yu Ding Zhenren, who led the way in sealing and suppressing him last time, would be one of them.

Yu Ding's heart is, to put it mildly, incredibly filthy. A quasi-saint, yet he hides it so deeply.

Now, this Taoist Taixu has become the second most hated person in his life, or rather, he now extremely hates and despises this kind of shameless, black-hearted, and cunning guy who pretends to be a pig to eat a tiger.

"Does that matter?" Yu Ding asked with a smile.

Bi Fang pondered for a moment and said, "However, even if someone is a powerful being, it would not be so easy for them to defeat me."

Yu Ding's smile froze, and his face darkened. Was this guy even listening to him?

"If you are not a great being, could it be... that you have already attained the Great Luo Dao Fruit and become a Great Luo Golden Immortal?"

Bi Fang suddenly raised his head and looked at Yu Ding in shock, his eyes shining: "You told that brat Li Jing that you had sparred with Yu Ding many times and won more often than you lost. Is that true or false?"

Does it matter whether it's true or false?

Yu Ding looked at him and said, "After all, the truth cannot be hidden, and the falsehood cannot be made true."

Bi Fang stared intently at the jade cauldron and said, "I'm not some greenhorn like Li Jing. I've heard of most of the prominent deities in this primordial world, but I've never heard of anything like Taixu..."

"Hahahaha!"

Yu Ding burst into laughter. It seemed he had to teach this dead bird a lesson.

"What are you laughing at?" Bi Fang asked.

"I laugh at you, Bifang, for your short-sightedness and folly. Even if there are heavens beyond heavens, are there people beyond people?"

Yu Ding laughed heartily and spouted nonsense, saying, "I, Tai Xu, attained enlightenment during the reign of the Heavenly Emperor. However, I have spent many years cultivating and comprehending the Dao in seclusion in the mountains and wilderness, so my reputation is not well-known. Do you expect me to tell everyone I meet about this?"

Upon hearing this, Bi Fang frowned and said, "The era of Emperor Fuxi... isn't that far off!"

"Fools!" Yu Ding couldn't help but shake his head and sneer, "What good deeds has your Demon Court done that I need to remind you?"

Upon hearing this, Bi Fang's expression changed, his heart trembled, and he said in a trembling voice, "You mean the Heavenly Emperor Cang..."

After finally subduing the guy, Yu Ding snorted: "Good to know. You think that by erasing the existence of the Primordial Heavenly Court, this Heavenly Realm has truly become yours?"

Since the separation of chaos and the creation of heaven and earth, countless civilizations have emerged and countless years have passed since the beginning of time.

The Celestial Emperor Cangli clan was extremely ancient. At that time, no one had yet attained sainthood. At that time, all races were vying for supremacy, causing chaos and upheaval. The three races of Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin had not yet divided the world into three...

This being pioneered the primordial divine path, discovered the celestial realm, led a group of celestial gods, established the celestial court, mediated disputes among all races, resisted the primordial demonic path, and brought peace and order to the chaotic prehistoric world.

This is the oldest heavenly court—the Primordial Divine Court!
His prowess needs no further explanation; after all, his mentor was still unknown when he achieved entrepreneurial success.

Unfortunately, this peerless god-emperor failed and perished when he was trying to attain the Primordial Chaos Realm, and the Primordial Divine Court also collapsed for unknown reasons.

These are the records of Yuxu Palace and Biyou Palace, belonging to top-secret archives.

Later, after the Dragon and Phoenix Calamity, the three races gradually faded away, while the Wu and Yao races, which had recovered and become extremely powerful, began to appear. Moreover, the Yao race discovered the ruins of the Heavenly Realm and the Primordial Divine Court.

However, the demon race erased the history of the divine court and claimed that they were the ones who discovered the heavens...

I remember that the Primordial Divine Court still existed, but not many people left. Who would be willing to risk offending the powerful demon race by publicizing this matter?

It should be noted that the Twelve Golden Immortals also took on their apprenticeship around the same time...

The period after the Lich Wars split the world into two and the Lich Wars.

He might not have known these things if he hadn't browsed through the books of both religions.

“You…” Bi Fang was stunned by these words.

It should be noted that this event of erasing the history of the ancient divine court seems to have occurred before he joined.

He had only heard snippets of information from some seniors after joining the group, but the Taoist priest in front of him spoke with such detail and conviction that it was as if he had actually experienced it firsthand.

Yu Ding said calmly, "What, you don't believe me?"

"No, no, I believe you. I was the one who was impolite this time."

Bi Fang shook his head and smiled wryly, "If you are an ancient immortal who attained enlightenment during the Heavenly Emperor's era, then you would have won more battles than lost against the Quasi-Saint Realm Jade Cauldron True Man... I believe you!"

Beside them, Li Jing and Xiao Bai, the two fellow disciples, exchanged a glance, their eyes flashing with surprise.

"I never expected my master to be so important..." Li Jing thought to himself.

Is Master Yu Ding Zhenren or Tai Xu Zhenren...? Xiao Bai was a little confused, feeling like he had discovered some incredible secret.

Quasi-Saint... Yu Ding: ~_^
Well, it was quite sudden. He just wanted to brag about his seniority, so how did he suddenly end up with the identity of a quasi-saint?

He suddenly seemed to understand why this guy had suddenly called him a Quasi-Saint last time.

However, it is said that birds have small brains, so why is this bird's reasoning ability so strong?

"Little Bi, I think that realm and magical power are not important."

Yu Ding gave Bi Fang a deep look and said meaningfully, "What's the point of having such a high cultivation level and such profound magical power? As long as it's enough for crucial moments, isn't that enough?"

Even if he wasn't a Quasi-Saint, he was still a Great Luo Immortal, so his defeat wasn't unjust... Bi Fang nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, yes, yes!"

Although he had lived for an unknown amount of time, he remained as young as Li Jing in front of this ancient immortal who had attained enlightenment in the primordial era.

An old monster who can live from that era to the present day, even if he is not a quasi-saint or a patriarch, must at least have attained the Great Luo Dao Fruit.

"On another note, Fellow Daoist Bifang, you want to dismantle the seal yourself in a dignified manner..."

Yu Ding looked at Bi Fang with a smile: "Or should I help you... in a more respectable way?"

"I……"

Bi Fang blushed, his face showing a mixture of embarrassment and confusion.

This old man is impressive, but he's also too despicable and bullying. Why did he have to come out at the exact moment he finished making his vows and oaths, leaving him in a dilemma...

“Master…” Li Jing hurriedly tried to plead for Bi Fang, but Yu Ding raised his hand to stop him from continuing.

"Senior, could you please give me some time? There is something I must do."

Bi Fang said loudly, "Once the matter in my heart is settled, I will definitely keep my word and disintegrate and seal myself away."

"If you want to participate in the battle for the heavens..."

Yu Ding's eyes flashed: "Then I still advise you not to go, so as not to make a wasted trip."

"Why?" Bi Fang's expression changed, and he looked at the jade cauldron anxiously.

“Because…it’s already over,” Yu Ding said. Bi Fang’s breath hitched, and he asked nervously, “What was the outcome?”

Yu Ding glanced at him: "The demon race has been defeated. Your dream of restoring the demon court... is over!"

"How...how could this be? I don't believe it!"

Bi Fang was momentarily stunned, staggered backward, as if he had been hit hard.

Without wasting any words, Yu Ding directly recounted the outcome of that great battle.

The intensity and brutality of this battle between gods and demons for control of the heavens shook Li Jing and Xiao Bai to their core, as if the battle were right before their eyes.

"So what you mean is..."

Bi Fang revealed a miserable smile: "The Sixth Prince fled without a fight, causing the army to collapse like a house of cards, resulting in a great defeat for the demon race?"

"indeed so!"

Yu Ding looked at Bi Fang's miserable state and understood, but still nodded slightly.

"Ha, hahaha, I don't believe it, it's impossible, senior, are you lying to me..." Bi Fang shook his head in disbelief.

"If you don't believe me, you can go and ask around. If I'm not lying, back when your witch and demon races launched that catastrophe, the sky collapsed and the earth cracked, floods raged, and countless lives were lost!"

Yu Ding snorted, "The fact that I was not able to completely annihilate you is the last act of mercy Heaven has shown you. But after you have recuperated, you still insist on going your own way and trying to defy Heaven. You will inevitably fail."

Bi Fang let out a long sigh, as if he had aged countless years in an instant.

Li Jing, somewhat reluctantly, advised, "Bifang, what Master said makes sense. A commander who flees without a fight... is not worthy of your loyalty."

He transformed into a human form resembling Li Jing, walked towards Li Jing, and placed his hand on Li Jing's shoulder, saying, "I'm just grieving for those brothers who died... Do you understand?"

After saying that, his figure transformed into a crimson light and disappeared into Li Jing's chest.

Bang!

Inside the sealed prison, Bifang pushed open the door, went inside, and slammed the door shut without looking back.

Suddenly, the light in the cell disappeared, and it was swallowed by darkness.

"Oh, you've got quite a temper, you've become withdrawn..." Yu Ding raised an eyebrow and said the same two words.

understand!

"Master?" Li Jing looked at the jade cauldron with concern.

Yu Ding smiled and said, "It's alright, he'll figure it out. And if he doesn't, he still has you, doesn't he?!"

"Me?" Li Jing paused for a moment, then nodded silently.

"Let's go, it's time to head back. I haven't even had a chance to see my grand-disciple yet!"

Yu Ding laughed, and as he turned around, he took a deep look at Kunlun Mountain.

I wonder if his senior brother, having been bullied this time, will run to an adult to complain, just like a kid would when fighting...

"Speaking of which, Master, how about you give your grand-disciple a name?"

"Oh, you haven't come up with a name yet?"

Yu Ding was stunned and broke out in a sweat. Naming a child is incredibly difficult, you know. He's a notorious terrible at it!
Of course, Jinzha is a good name, but... wasn't that name given by Manjushri?!

If he doesn't change it, it's really annoying!
"We're just waiting for Master to name it!" Li Jing said with great joy.

"Don't rush, let me think about it..."

"Uh-huh!"

Li Jing nodded with delight.

"Judging from your birth time, you are lacking the element of metal in your destiny!"

Li Jing: "Mmm!"

"Zha is the first sound between heaven and earth, containing the meaning of exorcising evil spirits and suppressing demons. It is best to include this character in your name."

Li Jing: "Mmm!"

Seeing Li Jing repeatedly humming in agreement, Yu Ding wanted to tease his disciple: "How about we name this child Li Tiedan'er?"

"Hmm...huh?"

Li Jing suddenly opened his eyes, forcing a dry smile as he said, "Tie... a good name. Iron belongs to metal, and since we lack metal in our destiny, we'll call him Jinzha. Thank you, Master, for bestowing this name upon us."

If we were to name him Li Tiedan'er, regardless of whether the child would have any objections when he grew up, his wife would definitely object first, and he would certainly get a beating.

Is it still Jinzha...? Yu Ding glanced at his disciple. To be honest, Jinzha was indeed familiar and easy to pronounce.

“Tie Dan’er isn’t too bad either…” Yu Ding said stubbornly.

This was his last act of defiance. If the child didn't bear his mark, he would find it hard to feel a sense of belonging!
"This name is good too. Let's use it as a nickname. Yes, nicknames are used more often and are easier to pronounce," Li Jing said in a moment of inspiration.

"Alright! By the way, Xiaobai!"

Yu Ding, intrigued, looked at Xiao Bai beside him and said, "You're not just called Xiao Bai, are you? If so, do you need my guidance...?"

"No, no, no... No need, Master. This disciple has a name."

Xiao Bai quickly waved his hands, revealing a smile that looked even uglier than crying.

"Oh well, never mind then!"

Yu Ding sighed regretfully.

Li Jing and his fellow disciple Xiao Bai exchanged a glance, their eyes both revealing lingering fear.

They finally discovered that their seemingly omnipotent master... wasn't so all-powerful after all, and had a few weaknesses.

For example... naming a child?!
……

Five Dragon Mountain! Cloud Cave!
The severely weakened Manjushri Bodhisattva has returned to his sacred site.

"Cough!" Sitting cross-legged on the cloud bed, he suddenly couldn't help but cough up another mouthful of blood, which landed on a pile of jade books.

Looking at the jade book before him, Manjushri Bodhisattva irritably reached out and pushed the book away in one go, his chest heaving and his expression turning somewhat gloomy.

These jade books are all the teachings he carefully selected for his disciples!
He still remembers being overjoyed when he left home, thinking he had finally met his disciple, but who would have thought he would encounter such a ruthless person.

Since he joined the Jade Void Sect, he couldn't remember the last time he hadn't suffered such humiliation or loss.

Manjushri, the Heavenly Venerable of Vast Dharma, felt increasingly frustrated and annoyed...

A moment later, he instructed a boy to guard the cave, and then he transformed into a long rainbow and went far away, arriving at the White Crane Cave in Jiugong Mountain to discuss matters with his junior brother, the Immortal Puxian.

"What? Someone actually stopped my senior brother from accepting a disciple and even beat him up like this?"

Master Puxian was greatly surprised upon hearing this: "Who is this person? Doesn't he know my senior brother's identity?"

Manjushri Bodhisattva sighed, “I know that the other party is on the path of physical sainthood. He has an extremely strong fighting spirit. Even the Dragon-Hiding Stake was ineffective against him. He injured me when he was at the Heavenly Immortal level, let alone now that he has become a Golden Immortal... I estimate that he should be a primordial god-demon who has been reborn after suffering a calamity.”

"This...this matter is a bit difficult to handle. My disciple will also be reborn into the Li family."

Master Puxian exclaimed in alarm, "What if I can't take on any disciples..."

“Yes, my Dao heart was also in turmoil, which is why I consulted my junior brother,” sighed Manjushri Bodhisattva.

"No, we can't just let this go."

Master Puxian's eyes flickered for a moment, then he stood up abruptly: "Let's go to Yuxu Palace and ask Master Randeng to make the decision."

"Does it really have to become such a big deal?" Manjushri Bodhisattva sighed.

Master Puxian pointed at the two of them and said, "For the sake of you and my disciple, we have no other choice."

Besides, the people of Jade Void Palace don't cause trouble, but we're not ones to be bullied. Don't worry, Master Ran Deng will definitely stand up for you.
