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

Chapter 343 I am Yu Ding, and also the fastest Golden Immortal in the Primordial World
A purple arc of electricity swiftly swept across the land, traversing mountains and rivers, passing through villages and cities, and in the blink of an eye, it appeared thousands of miles away.

I am Yu Ding.

He is also the fastest running Golden Immortal in this primordial world!
Electric arcs crackled around Yu Ding's body and in his eyes as he ran freely across the vast, primordial land, reveling in the exhilarating feeling of speeding across the boundless wilderness.

Perhaps it's because he's needed to maintain the image of a celestial being all these years, and he's been putting on airs of a superior being for too long;
Or perhaps it was the troublesome apprentices he was teaching that left him physically and mentally exhausted;
Or perhaps the Investiture of the Gods put pressure on him...

In short, he felt an invisible pressure that made him feel inexplicably tired, and he hadn't experienced this kind of stimulation for many years.

but……

Things are different now; he has obtained the answer he sought at the Jade Void Palace.

So once he stepped off Qilin Cliff, he changed his appearance and then ran wildly across the land like a runaway horse.

This was partly because after he had gained some insights from visualizing the ancestor of electricity, Wu Xizi, he was trying to integrate them with the Heavenly Roc Ladder Cloud Method and the Golden Light Method of Vertical Earth.

The second reason is naturally to release some stress and seek some stimulation.

Many people are actually misled into thinking that being an immortal is carefree, leisurely, and happy.

But as someone who's been through it, Yu Ding has to solemnly say this:
Yu Ding: () You can't even imagine the joy of immortals, you know...

Immortality, carefree life, treasure hunting, gatherings with close friends, and occasional visits to the Heavenly Court or the Western Underworld—well, let's forget about the Underworld.

Attending a grand event hosted by a big shot can sometimes even give you a chance to flirt with some pretty girls...

(Note: Flirting with girls is risky, with a very high risk factor. Be careful what you say.)

Of course, this wonderful life is only for immortals who have powerful backgrounds or strong personal abilities. The lower-level immortals, on the other hand, have a rather miserable life.

In addition, there is another prerequisite: there is no major calamity like the Investiture of the Gods, which has a great crisis, a wide scope, and a far-reaching impact.

Besides the great calamity, Yu Ding, who had been a deity for hundreds of years, also wanted to say something.
Being a deity is actually quite boring and tiring.

Every day is spent either practicing meditation or sitting in meditation, but after a while it will become boring and tedious, right?
Don't talk about seclusion and cultivation. Hundreds of years can pass in the blink of an eye. Do you believe someone who can't even sit still for forty minutes in class when they say this?
The immortals, especially those who have been stuck at a bottleneck for thousands or tens of thousands of years and are unable to break through, are extremely annoyed.

Uh, everyone, don't get me wrong, he didn't mean anything by implying anything about any particular person or team.

After all, he was one of the members, and the others were his beloved friends and family, his fellow disciples.

What to do when you're bored? Go to the human world. The air is too polluted and filthy. Being an immortal is a pure and tranquil experience, which would be very uncomfortable.

It's like... the fresh air of the mountains and the heavy smog of big cities.

Under these circumstances, only those who try to understand how much anger the Twelve Immortals were harboring can know.

Although Yu Ding turned misfortune into blessing, having suffered a blow to his foundation but through rebuilding and perseverance, he survived.
But as someone who once couldn't sit still for even forty minutes in class, he couldn't resist running around for the first time.

As for why he wanted to become someone no one recognized...

Cough cough, Yu Ding still has some sense of shame.

In this primordial world, Yu Ding did not discover anything called the Speed ​​Force, but he called his current state of controlling lightning 'Extreme Lightning'.

Furthermore, Yu Ding also discovered that in the 'Extreme Electricity' state, he could run faster than the golden light that flew across the ground...

Yu Ding was not particularly surprised by this.

The "Golden Light of Vertical Earth" technique originated in the original novel *Investiture of the Gods* after the Twelve Golden Immortals lost their cultivation due to the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation.

To facilitate the travel between the Twelve Golden Immortals' cave dwellings and Xiqi, Yuanshi Tianzun passed on to them Taoist techniques for traveling.

As for the Jade Cauldron, he had previously searched for this Taoist technique in the library of the Jade Void and Jade Wandering Palaces and included it in the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Techniques.

The advantage of this Taoist technique is that it does not require a high level of magical power, but the higher one's cultivation level, the faster one can use it.

That's why Yu Ding said he was the fastest Golden Immortal in the entire prehistoric world.

Those that can fly don't count...

Looking across the ancient and modern times, apart from the sages, the speed at which Dijiang and Jinwu transformed into rainbows was the fastest, once unmatched in the entire prehistoric world.

Now that they are gone, the Peng bird is the fastest bird in the primordial world, able to soar ninety thousand miles high with a single flap of its wings.

However, even in this vast wilderness, the Peng bird is a rare species.

Yu Ding counted on his fingers and realized that there were only four Peng birds left in the prehistoric world: Kunpeng, the demon master of the Northern Sea; Dapeng, Kong Xuan's twin brother; Yu Yixian of the Western Sea; and Xiao Fei, his disciple.

He had only scratched the surface of controlling lightning, adding his own ideas and making initial progress.

There is still a lot of room for improvement in the future.

Yu Ding glanced at the arcs of electricity that covered his body and moved constantly. Although he didn't possess any superhuman speed,

However, with his superhuman vision and superhuman brain, he was still able to adapt to and process the visual field and situations under extreme speed.

When he runs at high speed, the intense heat generated by the friction between his body and the air cannot harm a single hair on his head.

“So…” Yu Ding raised an eyebrow, his expression strange.

Should we add another Flash to this already wonderful prehistoric world?

"Hmm?" Suddenly, Yu Ding's expression changed as he ran, as if he had sensed something.

Stab it!

With a hissing sound, the electric arc traveled to a mountaintop and came to a stop.

From within, a figure emerged, its foot "braking" out a long, shallow ditch on the ground due to inertia.

After regaining his balance, Yu Ding, with a strange expression, reached his right hand into his left sleeve, fumbled for a moment, and then took out a palm-sized but exquisitely crafted metal palace.

The palace is about the size of a model, but it exudes an ancient atmosphere.

This was the treasure trove he was keeping for his old friend 'Haotian'.

At this moment, the palace was shimmering with golden light, surrounded by colorful radiance, making it look incredibly magical.

“This thing has been radiantly concealed since it was born. Even my Immortal-Slaying Sword couldn’t cleave it. What’s wrong with it today?” Yu Ding asked in surprise.

According to Longji, Haotian secretly left a total of five blind boxes outside, cough, treasure troves.

Three of them are located in Minglongji.

The two hidden ones were seen by Longji from the 'handbook' in Haotian's study, which was similar to a diary. Longji knew how to open the three visible ones, and he found many good things inside, such as the 'Feng Hou Qi Men' and the 'Ten Thousand Mile Teleportation Talisman'.

This was the fourth one. Although Longji led him to it, Longji didn't know how to activate it, so they had to give up.

Since this treasure trove fell into his hands, it has also concealed the miraculous signs it displayed when it was first created, and has remained silent ever since.

If it weren't for the sudden commotion today, he would have almost forgotten...

"Buzz!"

At that moment, after the ancient palace emitted light for a brief moment, it suddenly generated a force that almost caused it to slip from the jade cauldron's grasp.

"If you escape, how can I explain this to the Heavenly Emperor?"

Yu Ding chuckled softly, exerted force with his five fingers, and used the power of a Golden Immortal to firmly grasp the treasure vault in his hands. It vibrated continuously, but he was unable to leave.

He glanced in the direction the treasure vault was heading: "I'd like to see where you're going."

Before he finished speaking, arcs of electricity crackled around Yu Ding, and he vanished from his spot in a flash.

At this moment, on a hillside thirty miles away.

"Little one, I'm not saying this to criticize you, but why are you running away? Aren't you injured?"

A handsome young man in his early twenties, panting, held a porcelain bottle in his right hand and gave a simple, honest smile: "I just wanted to apply some medicine for you."

In front of him was a snow-white fox, its right leg stained with blood and still bleeding. It stared at him in a very human-like manner, as if hesitating about something.

Seeing this, the young man quickly went after it, but the white fox turned around and limped back up the mountain.

"You're still running! Alright, I won't chase you anymore. I've left the medicine here."

The young man, drenched in sweat, plopped down on the ground, panting heavily, and waved his hand as he placed the porcelain bottle on the hillside.

"Take it or leave it, I'm going down into these deep forests..."

The young man glanced around and saw towering ancient trees all around him. He couldn't help but shiver, rubbed his hands together, and turned to head down the mountain.

But after walking only a few steps, seven or eight foxes darted out from the bushes on both sides, blocking his way and surrounding him, looking him up and down.

"Hey, sisters, look! The young man Fourteen Sister picked is really handsome!"

A lead fox circled the young man once, then raised its paw and chuckled.

"Ah, a monster?" The young man's face suddenly paled.

"You're already panting like this after only climbing a few steps. You clearly lack yang energy and are very weak. I don't know if you'll make it?"

These words caused the surrounding foxes to burst into laughter, some of them clutching their stomachs and rolling around on the ground laughing.

"What did you say?" The young man's face turned red.

"Oh, you're blushing? Are you still a virgin?" the lead fox laughed again.

The young man rolled his eyes, bowed, and said, "Please forgive my poor appearance, esteemed fox spirit sisters. I am born with insufficient vital energy and have been weak and frail since childhood..."

"Young man, you're quite quick-witted. You took my jokes seriously?"

The leading fire fox transformed into a glamorous woman in a fiery dress and laughed, "You've got some stamina, kid. You managed to spin around my fourteenth son three times. You're definitely going to be my fourteenth son's husband..."

The other foxes also transformed into women, laughing and joking as they looked at him.

The white fox also transformed into a beautiful girl in white and came down from the mountain.

“Hey, you monsters, don’t even think about it. I, Zhang Youren, am devoted to the Dao and will not get close to women.”

The young man, his face turning green with rage, rushed to the edge of the cliff: "I'll jump off here today, and you still want me to go back with you..."

The group of women's smiles remained unchanged as they continued to gaze at him with delight.

The woman in the fiery red skirt laughed and said, "Jump!"

"Sister, I went through so much trouble to find this!" the woman in the white dress said anxiously.

Firefox patted her hand and gave her a reassuring look.

"Alas, I never imagined that my friend Zhang would die before achieving enlightenment. How tragic and lamentable!" Zhang sighed to the heavens.

Firefox snapped, "Are you going to jump or not? If you don't, I'll push you off!"

"Wait a minute!"

Zhang Youren hurriedly said, "Before I die, I want to recite a poem to warn future generations not to show kindness to demons. As for the first line, uh..."

"Can you hurry up?" Firefox urged.

Zhang Youren opened his mouth for a long time, but couldn't utter a single word.

For a moment, the air was quiet.

He quickly sighed in despair, "That's it, that's it. I never thought I couldn't even write a poem. Time to get going."

He looked at the group of fox demons: "Where is your home? Lead the way."

A group of fox spirits burst into laughter, instantly filling the place with a joyful atmosphere.

Soon, a group of fox spirits escorted Zhang Youren away.

"Zhang Youren, isn't that the name of the Jade Emperor in legend?"

After the group of demons and humans had gone far away, Yu Ding appeared behind a tree with a frown on his face.

In the original novel *Investiture of the Gods*, the ruler of Heaven is clearly the Jade Emperor, but in *Journey to the West*, the ruler of Heaven becomes the Jade Emperor.

"Could it be that you're looking for him?"

Yu Ding looked down at the ancient hall that was shaking violently in his hands, then glanced at the young man's back.

Suddenly, as if he had realized something, his expression changed drastically: "Could it be..."
