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

Chapter 327 The disciple went bald, but also became stronger?

After Xuandu left, the back hall was silent, with only Yu Ding remaining.

Although the senior master was skilled in alchemy, there was nothing related to alchemy in this hall except for the Tai Chi diagram. The furnishings were extremely simple, which was enough to show the status of this treasure.

The two black and white yin-yang fish, intersecting head to tail, continued to rotate slowly and steadily within the tai chi symbol, as if they would never stop.

Although he felt helpless, Yu Ding could only take a deep breath and sit down after realizing that he couldn't rely on Xuan Du. Although he was concerned about the progress of his disciples' cultivation, his own situation was equally important at this moment.

"Fine, let Xiaobai and the others train for a few years, it should still be in time..." Immediately, Yu Ding focused his mind and stared at this treasure.

"Tai Chi diagram... Tai Chi..."

Yu Ding stared at this treasure for a few moments, then suddenly widened his eyes, rubbed them, and looked up again.

For a fleeting moment, he felt the spinning yin-yang symbol suddenly stop and become still, but when he rubbed his eyes and looked again, everything was still the same.

"Am I seeing things? That shouldn't be the case..." Yu Ding pondered. If a Golden Immortal were to misread things, wouldn't people laugh at him?

When he looked up again, the two yin-yang fish were still spinning, but each circle of the two fish seemed to conform to the great principles of heaven and earth, containing infinite mysteries.

Yu Ding frowned and stared at the Taiji diagram for a long time. Suddenly, his expression changed, and the words he had just spoken to Grand Master Xuandu came to mind.

This was made by an ordinary person. He originally thought that with his current level of understanding and knowledge of the Dao, he had already grasped the meaning of the words. But when he saw the Taiji diagram, he was suddenly surprised to find that the words were somehow consistent with the diagram. Instantly, he understood the true meaning of the words.

Gradually, the yin-yang symbol grew larger and larger in his eyes.

"The interplay of Yin and Yang is called the Dao; Taiji arises from Wuji... The Book of Changes states that there is Taiji, and from Taiji's movement arises the Two Forms..."

Yu Ding slowly spoke, and then he saw that symbols of the Great Dao slowly appeared on the bodies of the two fish. They were mysterious and unpredictable, evolving into the principle of creation and transformation, that Taiji gives rise to Yin and Yang, and Yin and Yang give rise to the Four Symbols. However, the symbols were too small, and he had to widen his eyes involuntarily to see them all clearly.

And so, no one knows how much time has passed.

When Yu Ding came to his senses, he was astonished to find himself standing in front of the platform where the Taiji diagram was located, less than a zhang away from the legendary Taiji diagram.

How did I get here?

Yu Ding frowned and looked back at what was behind him; he had been sitting cross-legged there.

Right... But soon, Yu Ding thought of those symbols and frowned as he tried to recall them... He felt a little relieved as the symbols appeared in his mind one by one.

"Good comprehension!"

Suddenly, a faint voice echoed in the vast hall. Though it was a compliment, it was devoid of any emotion.

"Who?"

The sound came out very abruptly, and Yu Ding was also taken aback. But after he released his divine sense and found no one, he searched around and finally his gaze fell on the Tai Chi diagram. He tentatively asked, "Was it... Senior who spoke just now?"

"It's true, it's me!"

The Tai Chi diagram glowed and spoke, "Did you clearly see the true meaning of Tai Chi in the diagram just now?"

Yu Ding paused for a moment, then respectfully said, "This disciple saw it clearly."

"How much have you memorized?" the Tai Chi diagram asked again.

"I've memorized most of it. This plot seems familiar..." Yu Ding raised an eyebrow. "Could it be that I need to forget this in order to comprehend it?" After thinking for a moment, he immediately sealed a portion of the true meaning of Tai Chi and said, "I've memorized most of it."

Tai Chi symbol: "It must have been a bit rushed. Think about it again."

Yu Ding thought for a moment, then sealed away a portion of the true meaning and said, "I've forgotten a small part of it."

"No rush, think about it some more!" Taiji Diagram said.

Yu Ding felt much more at ease and sealed away a portion of his true meaning, saying, "I've forgotten most of it."

The Taiji diagram paused for a moment: "And now?"

Yu Ding, having sealed away all memories of the true meaning of Tai Chi, laughed and said, "I've forgotten it all, completely forgotten it."

This time, the Taiji diagram remained silent for a long time before finally sighing, "Fool! Fool! Excellent comprehension! Terrible memory..."

Yu Ding's smile froze: !?(_;?
Wait a minute... something seems off about the script!
At this moment, the Tai Chi symbol stopped speaking, and the black and white yin-yang fish continued to rotate slowly and steadily.

The hall was silent, and everything seemed to have returned to its original state.

However, Yu Ding knew that things were different now. He was relieved that he hadn't really forgotten his mother's memories. He immediately released the memories, sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes, and let the true meaning of the Great Dao flow in his heart, integrating the true meaning of the Great Dao.

After a long time, on this day, the Yin and Yang energies around Yu Ding condensed into two black and white Yin-Yang fish, which entered Yu Ding's body, making half of his body as black as a demon and the other half as white as snow.

"This kid... he has clearly grasped the true meaning of Tai Chi!"

Even the Taiji Diagram was somewhat astonished: "Who exactly is this kid that Xuandu brought? It seems he used the Jade Void Transformation Technique..."

On this day, a powerful aura suddenly rose within the rear hall. It was not strong, but it stirred up auspicious clouds and a faint purple light that shot into the sky.

The rear hall door opened by itself, and Yu Ding, with a smile on his face, a clear light emanating from his body and deep eyes, calmly and slowly walked out. His body, which was originally half black and half white, had also returned to its original state.

"It's finally done!"

Yu Ding said softly, "I don't know how much time has passed."

Immediately, he bowed deeply to the Eight Views Palace and left without bidding farewell to Xuandu. Inside the Eight Views Palace, Daoist Taixu seemed to sense something and looked back, saying softly, "Master, Fellow Daoist Yuding has left."

The Celestial Being gave a soft "hmm".

……

A strong wind howled, stirring up clouds and dust from the heavens.

Yu Ding's body was like a roc, soaring upwards and covering tens of thousands of miles in a single leap. Before long, he had reached the Southern Continent, and Yu Ding gradually slowed down.

Rumble!
As the jade cauldron approached Chentang Pass, suddenly the towering mountains outside the pass trembled violently, with raging flames, soaring malevolent energy, and flashing lightning...

"Well, what's going on?"

Yu Ding immediately looked over and saw a golden sheep with horns like swords deep in the mountains, its sword energy whistling; a dragon-headed creature with a tortoise-like body standing on a great river; and a demonic ape surrounded by flames that shook the heavens...

"Wow!"

A strange, demonic bird with outstretched wings, blotting out the sky, was circling in the air.

These creatures are all remnants of the primordial era, including a few dragons. They vary in size, but without exception, each one is a dominant beast king, ruling over its own territory. At this moment, there are five such creatures in the battle.

Of course, these ancient remnants were not worthy of his attention.

boom!
Just then, a beam of light suddenly flew over from Chentang Pass, and dust rose from the ground. A glimmer of light even made Yu Ding's eyes flash.

Soon, the beam of light flew over and transformed into a middle-aged military general, who shouted in a deep voice: "Fighting is prohibited outside Chen Tang Pass!"

"Jing'er!" Yu Ding smiled slightly, wanting to see how much his disciple had improved these past few days.

Oh right, Li Jing is here, and what about Little White...?

At this moment, the light spot on the ground approached the battlefield and leaped onto a mountaintop, revealing a bald young general in golden armor and a white cloak.

"what's the situation?"

When Yu Ding saw the face of the bald, cloaked young man, even he was wide-eyed with surprise and disbelief.

However, after rubbing his eyes several times and looking at it several times, he had to admit that the bald, cloaked young man was indeed his apprentice, Xiaobai.

only……

When I left, my little apprentice was a bright and cheerful young man. How come when I came back, that bright young man had hardly any hair left on his head?

What exactly happened to this kid during the days he was away?
Li Jing shouted, but the beast kings were already enraged and ignored his voice.

Seeing this, Xiao Bai frowned and shouted, "My senior brother told you to stop, didn't you hear me?"

At that moment, with a loud bang, the demonic ape with blood-red eyes and bat-like wings on its back slammed down with its fist, shouting, "Where did this grasshopper come from, making such a racket!"

boom!
His fist erupted with a blinding dark light, dazzling and surging, the power it emitted was like a river bursting its banks, the mere force of his fist shattering swathes of trees and splitting boulders into pieces.

However, in the face of this punch, Xiaobai simply stared intently at the falling fist and stood motionless against the wind.

Yu Ding frowned. These beast kings and dragon species were powerful creatures that even Earth Immortals would avoid, and True Immortals would have a headache if they encountered them.

He probably hasn't been away from home for very long, and he didn't teach Xiaobai any cultivation methods when he left. Xiaobai doesn't have any magical power at all right now, so why did Li Jing bring Xiaobai out...?

"Hmm?" Just as Yu Ding was about to lend a hand to his disciple, he suddenly stopped and his expression changed.

As Xiao Bai withstood the pressure of the demon ape's fist, he slowly bent down and squatted down. Then, he suddenly leaped up, and with a loud bang, the mountain beneath his feet exploded. Xiao Bai, like a cannonball, clenched his fist and met the demon ape's fist head-on.

Boom... Puff...

As the demon ape's gaze shifted from confidence to surprise to terror, accompanied by gushing blood, a white light, like the sharpest nail, pierced the demon ape's fist and burst out from its shoulder in a short while.

Then, his body sank down, and his feet slammed down hard on the demon ape's back...

The demon ape's body became concave, plummeting downwards and crashing heavily to the ground.

At that moment, the tiny figure landed on the demon ape's head and whispered, "Don't move, or I'll crush your head."

The demon ape's eyes widened in shock, its blood-red pupils revealing terror as it stared at the figure with a blood-stained white cloak swaying in the wind behind it, but it dared not move an inch.

It all happened in a short time, with just a punch and a stomp, and the battle was over. The huge demon ape fell to the ground before it even had a chance to fight back.

Only then did the beast kings, who were engaged in fierce fighting, notice the situation. They slowly stopped fighting, looked at the fallen demon ape and the tiny figure standing on it, and stared at each other in shock.

What just... happened?
They were certain that the kid had no magical power whatsoever, so how could he have... in the blink of an eye?

Although they wished the demon ape dead, they acknowledged its strength, which was comparable to their own. Yet, they were now being suppressed by a bald brat with no magical power, completely powerless to resist.

This is simply outrageous!

Even higher in the sky, the dignified Jade Cauldron Immortal stared wide-eyed, touching his thick hair in disbelief.

Are the rumors true?
Going bald... does that really make me stronger?

No, what exactly happened during the days he was gone?
