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

Chapter 330 Qimen after the wind
"Master?"

The remaining ferocious beast kings had lost their initial menacing aura. Seeing the white-haired Taoist who suddenly appeared and hearing Li Jing's address, they immediately knew the identity of this uninvited guest.

Without even considering who the master who had taught these two abnormal disciples was, when they heard that Yu Ding meant to spare their lives, the quick-witted dragon turtle immediately cried out, "Please, old immortal, save my life!"

The ground exploded, and a figure shot towards them like a cannonball. Yu Ding flicked his whisk, which immediately extended so that the figure could land on it.

"Master, you're finally back."

Xiao Bai, beaming with happiness, threw herself into Yu Ding's arms: "Disciple, I missed you so much."

Yu Ding smiled and patted his bald head: "Long time no see, Xiao Bai, you've become... stronger."

Xiao Bai looked up and asked, "Master, are you leaving this time?"

"I won't leave anymore, your master will never leave again."

Yu Ding murmured, "Even if you leave, I will not leave. I must personally watch you all grow into successful individuals."

"Hmm!" Xiaobai nodded heavily, glanced around, and said somewhat shyly in a low voice, "Master, I have some questions. I'll come to you for guidance later."

Yu Ding glanced at his shiny bald head, pretended not to know, and nodded gently with a smile.

He had been watching for a while, and the joke that "going bald also made him stronger" had come true for Xiaobai, which wasn't entirely without reason. He thought it was probably related to the Wu clan bloodline within Xiaobai.

Xiao Bai was an orphan of the Wu tribe adopted by Prince Changqin from a Wu tribe that had been wiped out by the demon race. Originally, his bloodline was mixed and his potential was very low. Even Prince Changqin did not have a good way to teach this kid well, so he entrusted him to him.

Yu Ding was even considering replicating Li Jing's successful case, so that a second 'human pillar' would appear in the prehistoric world.

Who knew that after a long absence, when he returned, he discovered that the kid had somehow awakened his bloodline, and now Xiaobai's Wu clan bloodline was already quite high.

"Benefits? Plowing and farming?"

Li Jing looked at the group of enormous creatures, who were silent as cicadas in fear and as large as small mountains, and frowned slightly: "Is this alright, Master? These beasts have eaten quite a few people."

"General Li, we are not in cahoots at all."

Upon hearing Li Jing's words, the dragon turtle hurriedly shouted, "The words about treating humans as food were said by the fellow beside me, and have nothing to do with me. Please, Elder Immortal, see the truth."

"You spineless bastard, you damned bastard, I'll fight you to the death."

Upon hearing this, the Southern Fire Rhinoceros flew into a rage, spewing out two thick streams of water vapor from its nostrils, and its rhinoceros horn suddenly burst into blue-white flames.

Although the flames were small, their mere appearance caused the temperature of the world to rise sharply, and the void itself seemed to distort, as if one were inside a volcano.

Li Jing and Xiao Bai's expressions changed drastically, and they became wary, sensing danger from the flame.

The Southern Fire Rhinoceros stared at the Dragon Turtle and charged straight at it. The ground trembled as it ran, as if it were fighting for its life, and its whole body was covered with a layer of sacred white flames.

"My god, this guy's going to fight to the death."

The dragon turtle was so frightened that it dodged away, but little did it know that the Southern Fire Rhinoceros was only pretending to fight desperately; it was actually trying to escape. After scaring the dragon turtle away, it was about to soar into the sky.

"No, senior brother, this guy is trying to escape."

Xiao Bai shouted loudly and was about to crouch down and exert force to chase after him.

Li Jing hurriedly pulled him away: "Junior brother, don't chase after him, be careful of this wretched creature..."

Before he finished speaking, Yu Ding raised his hand, forming a sword finger, and slashed at the Southern Fire Rhinoceros. A sharp sword light flew out and struck the Southern Fire Rhinoceros's head.

With a high-pitched cry of pain, a blood-stained, burning rhinoceros head shot into the sky and burst into flames, from which screams could be heard.

With a flick of his finger, Yu Ding extinguished the primordial spirit within the bull's head with a burst of spiritual light, which quickly burned away, leaving only a shimmering ball of light floating in mid-air.

Yu Ding raised his hand and took the radiance into his hand. It was a crystal-clear bull horn with a wisp of blue-white fire inside.

"This fellow is quite lucky; it actually managed to obtain a trace of the Southern Divine Fire, which it nurtured and strengthened considerably."

After playing with the jade tripod for a moment, he put it into his sleeve. When he turned around, he saw Li Jing, Xiao Bai, the remaining golden sheep, and the two ferocious beast kings, the dragon turtle, staring at him in astonishment.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Yu Ding was slightly taken aback.

"It's been years, but Master, you're still as dashing as ever," Li Jing said with a smile.

"Stop flattering me. When we get back, I'll still test your cultivation. You'd better not have fallen behind," Yu Ding said with a smile.

Li Jing shivered and quickly forced a smile.

Yu Ding looked at the dragon turtle and the golden sheep, and the two beast kings immediately shivered.

"Baa!" The golden sheep bleated in fright, then quickly corrected itself: "Old immortal, I'm a vegetarian."

The dragon turtle grew anxious: "Old immortal, I have a connection with the human race. My grandfather once helped Yu the Great control the floods..."

"Really?" Li Jing raised an eyebrow and looked at the jade cauldron.

"There was a dragon turtle that helped Yu the Great control the floods. It is indeed an auspicious creature. Let's keep them."

Yu Ding said softly, "A great calamity is about to come. With two more combatants, the people of Chentang Pass will suffer less."

"A great calamity?" Li Jing's expression shifted. "How great?"

Yu Ding sighed as he thought of the great calamity that would sweep across heaven and earth, encompassing gods, demons, and monsters: "Very, very great."

Will the Heavenly Court get involved?

"The Heavenly Court, of course... um?"

Yu Ding looked at Li Jing suspiciously and saw that Li Jing looked expectant. Yu Ding's face darkened and he said, "What are you standing there for? That bull's head on the ground is a rare treasure for martial arts cultivation. A piece of meat is a treasure that you can't get even for a thousand gold pieces."

"Oh oh oh!"

Li Jing quickly suppressed his excitement and solemnly leaped to the ground to collect his spoils. However, his light and agile movements could not conceal his true feelings.

Yu Ding: (;￢＿￢)
Li Jing is just trying to stir up trouble in the Heavenly Court!
"Dragon Turtle!"

Yu Ding looked at the dragon turtle, which immediately straightened its head and became serious. "From now on, you will follow me as my second disciple!"

"Follow me for what?"

Xiao Bai waved his hand: "Master, I don't need this thing. I'm still young. You can keep this for transportation!"

Dragon Turtle: (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻

What do you take me for, all this back and forth?

Yu Ding: "You can't fly."

Xiao Bai's smile froze for a moment before she quickly replied, "But Master, I can jump really high, even higher than flying."

Yu Ding: "You can't fly."

Xiao Bai's forehead veins throbbed as he clenched his fist: "Even if my senior brother uses all his strength, he still can't beat me."

Yu Ding turned around and glanced in the direction of Li Jing in the distance. On the ground, Li Jing felt a chill run down his spine.

Yu Ding turned around and stared at Xiao Bai: "You can't fly."

"Okay, Master, I'll take it."

Xiao Bai was getting a little frustrated: "But I still have to say, does that mean you can't kill enemies just because you can't fly?"

"You can't even fly, you can't even catch up, what's the point of fighting!"

Yu Ding rolled his eyes: "Your ancestors Zhu Rong and Gong Gong all had to stand on two dragons. Can you guess why?"

Xiao Bai exclaimed in shock, "Even the twelve ancestors couldn't fly?"

He was a little bewildered.

I didn't say that... Yu Ding coughed lightly. He was just patching up the kid's weaknesses. As for Zhu Rong and the others, who knows if they can fly?

"Why can't our ancestors fly?" Little White wondered.

Yu Ding shook his head and looked towards Chaoge. Li Jing's two sons had been born, so the start of the Investiture of the Gods was not far off.

Before that, what other preparations can he make?
Even though he knew a lot, his expression gradually became somewhat heavy.

……

Kunlun Mountain, behind Yuxu Palace.

Kong Xuzi strolled towards the back mountain during his leisure time between cultivation. In fact, guarding the Pangu Banner was a very, very leisurely job.

Looking across the entire primordial world, who dares to touch this ancient banner?

The master only asked him to guard the Pangu Banner to make things easier for him.

Of course, he came to the back mountain of Yuxu Palace because he had heard that Jiang Ziya was cultivating there, and that's why he came here.

The master instructed the main body to teach Jiang Ziya, but since the main body is not in the Jade Void Palace at the moment, it is natural that this incarnation must take on this responsibility.

I wonder how well this junior brother, whom the original master considered trash in every way, is doing now.

boom! boom! boom……

As he was pondering this, he heard a deafening roar. When Kong Xuzi flew to the place where the sound came from, he was immediately stunned.

In a pool beneath a waterfall, a muscular, gray-haired old man moved with steady steps, his palms moving in unison with his body, each gesture sending up towering columns of water from the pool.

After finishing the fight, the old man rounded his hands to stop, and his strong muscles relaxed like a deflated balloon. He quickly transformed into a sprightly, thin old man, completely different from before.

"My goodness! The strange thing that Yu Ding taught Xiao Jiang has actually been mastered by him?" Kong Xuzi rubbed his eyes.

At this moment, Jiang Ziya looked at his palm in the pool, nodded in satisfaction, and began to put on his clothes by the pool.

He had witnessed the battle for the heavens firsthand and seen the incredible powers of those powerful immortals. Although his own strength was insignificant compared to theirs, ...

He wasn't envious.

Some things can't be envied. No matter how powerful those powers are, they aren't his. This little bit of power may be weak, but it belongs to him.

"Great! Great!" came cheers from the side.

Jiang Ziya turned around in surprise and saw Kongxu sitting cross-legged on a rock not far away. He hurriedly bowed and said, "Greetings, Senior Brother."

Kongxu raised his hand: "No need for formalities. Are you alone here?"

Jiang Ziya smiled wryly: "I have no hope of refining Qi, so I can only practice some rudimentary body-refining methods that my senior brothers look down on."

"Don't despair too much. When God closes a door for you, He will not forget to close, cough cough, open a window for you."

As he spoke, Kongxu pulled out a roll of ancient animal hide from his sleeve and smiled, "Just because you're bad at Qi cultivation doesn't mean you're bad at other things."

"I have a scroll of celestial scripture here, which your senior brother Yu Ding entrusted me to give to you after you have achieved success in your cultivation. You can take it and study it yourself; you might gain unexpected insights."

Then, with a flick of his wrist, the animal hide glowed and flew toward Jiang Ziya. Jiang Ziya quickly caught it with both hands, opened it, and was momentarily stunned.

However, the scroll of animal hide was not in the dragon and phoenix script commonly used in the immortal realm, but rather... in the shape of ancient human characters, accompanied by some Bagua patterns.

Jiang Ziya examined it carefully, then his expression suddenly changed: "Feng... Hou... Qi... Men?!"
