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

Chapter 360 The Master of Primordial Imitation Treasures—Yun Zhongzi
As expected of the counterfeit master Yun Zhongzi… Yu Ding hesitated and said, “Imitating the Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan… is that a good idea?”

But he had to admit that Yun Zhongzi's words made his heart flutter a few times, much to his dismay.

The Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan is the treasure of the Pure Void Moral True Lord's cave.

Although not all of the Twelve Golden Immortals possessed a treasure to guard their cave, those who did were mostly bestowed upon them by their masters.

Among them, the Heaven-Turning Seal, the Yin-Yang Mirror, and the Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan are the best among the treasures of the cave.

This fan, also known as the Five Fire Divine Flame Fan, is not a primordial spiritual treasure, but it is made by gathering five kinds of divine fire and using the true feathers of seven divine birds such as phoenix and peacock. It has incantations and talismans on it, and its power is boundless.

It is said that with a single strike of the fan, it possesses the power to burn mountains and boil seas, and is unfathomable to gods and demons.

But if it were a counterfeit of his own fellow apprentice's treasure... Yu Ding's slightly drooping conscience still made him somewhat conflicted.

"What's wrong with this?" Yun Zhongzi laughed.

There are no copyright issues for magical artifacts in the primordial world... Yu Ding tentatively asked, "Are you sure there's no problem?"

"no problem."

Yun Zhongzi nodded firmly: "Besides, in the end, it's all about my Jade Void Palace. What problems could there be?"

My Jade Void Palace's affairs certainly cannot be called a counterfeit... Yu Ding said happily, "Then... that's perfect. By the way, I remember that refining the treasure fan requires the true feathers of seven kinds of divine birds, right? I'll go find them right away."

Since there are only a few types of magical artifacts, their appearances will inevitably overlap.

Any resemblance to actual events... Can the affairs between members of the Jade Void Sect be called plagiarism?

"No rush. I have some in my materials storage room. Let me go take a look first."

Yun Zhongzi then asked, "Senior Brother, would you like to wait here a while, or come with me?"

"Then... let's go for a walk together, Junior Brother," Yu Ding said.

He also wanted to see Yun Zhongzi's collection, thinking there must be many good things in it.

then……

Although Yu Ding felt he had prepared himself mentally, upon entering Yu Ding, he felt that Yun Zhongzi was still being too modest.

This warehouse was a small world; Yun Zhongzi went to search for materials, while Yu Ding looked around.

On the shelves here, Yu Ding saw all sorts of strange and luminous stones, fragments of magical artifacts, ancient books and iron ore, as well as the remains of some ancient creatures.

These creatures included humanoid beings with two horns, human bodies with snake tails, demon-like beings, beings with wings growing from their ribs, and the corpses of some ferocious birds and beasts...

“This…” Yu Ding stared blankly at the remains.

He knew perfectly well that these weren't human, but... why was Yun Zhongzi keeping so many things?
Collect it?
Become a prehistoric collector?
"Oh, senior brother is also interested in my collection?"

Just then, Yun Zhongzi came out after finding the item and saw Yu Ding standing there. He couldn't help but ask.

"Are all the races that were extinct in the primordial era here?" Yu Ding raised an eyebrow.

When heaven and earth were first created, all living beings descended to earth, giving rise to countless races; it would not be an exaggeration to say that there were myriad races.

Among them, the dragon, phoenix, and qilin were the most outstanding creatures of that era, dominating the sea, land, and air.

Yun Zhongzi laughed and said, "No, not at all."

"Just collecting is more like it..." Yu Ding nodded slightly. "If it's a collecting obsession, that would be too torturous."

Yun Zhongzi then added, "But it's almost there."

Yu Ding: "..."

“This place is usually not open to the public, so you are the first person to come in, Senior Brother,” Yun Zhongzi said with a smile.

Firstly, he admired his senior's character; secondly, they shared similar interests.

He was seriously injured by the disciples of the Jie Sect, but in order to avoid a war between the two sects, he silently shouldered all the blame by himself.

Later, when this senior brother saw that he was trying to delay the formation of the Killing Wolf formation, he did not hesitate to lead everyone to follow him and defy the heavens.

Although the general trend of the universe cannot be changed, this senior brother's work still earned his recognition and respect.

Yu Ding laughed: "Really? Then I really have a lot of influence, hahaha..."

hum!
Just as they were laughing, a melodious bell suddenly rang out from above the shelf.

Yu Ding looked up and saw a golden crow, as if asleep, embracing an ancient, crimson-gold bell in the midst of a great sun above. Ancient and profound Daoist patterns were engraved on the bell.

The ancient, simple cauldron floats on the water, the golden pagoda shines brightly, and the ninth palace is a magnificent sight.

"Donghuang Taiyi?"

Yu Ding looked at Yun Zhongzi in shock: "The Chaos Bell?"

This scene is strikingly similar to the legend of the demon king who was born embracing the Eastern Emperor Bell.

Yun Zhongzi coughed and said somewhat embarrassedly, "Senior brother, that is not the Chaos Bell, but the Sun Bell that I made by imitating the Chaos Bell with the essence of the sun. And that golden crow is not Donghuang Taiyi, but the remains of a fallen golden crow."

"Good lad, you're quite the player..." Yu Ding gave Yun Zhongzi a deep look. No joke, he was genuinely shocked just now.

The key was the aura of true solar fire flowing on the sun clock, which even fooled the well-read and knowledgeable Jade Cauldron Immortal.

Of course, the Chaos Bell is a divine object on the same level as the Pangu Banner and the Taiji Diagram.

Upon closer inspection, one will find that this bell is merely a shell of its former self. While its power may be decent, it falls far short of the divine essence and feeling of a supreme innate treasure.

Yun Zhongzi gave an embarrassed dry laugh.

As Yu Ding walked to another row, he suddenly looked up and saw a magnificent, golden, thirty-three-story pagoda hanging above him.

“That is…” Yun Zhongzi was afraid of causing a misunderstanding and had to explain.

Yu Ding asked with a strange expression, "You even have Master Morality's Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda?"

"A practice piece, cough cough, a practice piece I made when I first started learning how to refine treasures," Yun Zhongzi said with a dry cough.

"I don't believe you for a second..." Yu Ding thought to himself, scoffing. Judging from the tower's imposing and oppressive presence, it was definitely no less imposing than that sun clock.

Yun Zhongzi blocked the way and suggested, "Senior brother, aren't we supposed to be refining the Five Fire Fan? Why don't we turn back?"

"No rush, this is a rare opportunity. Let me take another look at your work." Yu Ding smiled and pushed Yun Zhongzi aside. There must be something fishy about not letting him move forward.

Sure enough, Yu Ding soon spotted a long banner in one of the other two areas.

"hiss!"

Yu Ding took a breath and commented, "Not bad, not bad. The bell and the tower are a bit lacking, but this banner already has three-tenths of its true meaning."

It must be because the Pangu Banner is a treasure of the Jade Void Palace, and Yun Zhongzi, as a disciple of the Jade Void Palace, had seen it.

Yun Zhongzi said, "Ahem, it's still just a practice piece. Senior Brother, we should go..."

Yu Ding strode forward again: "Huh, the Heaven-Turning Seal, oh, even the Yin-Yang Mirror?"

Yun Zhongzi blushed and suddenly regretted inviting this senior brother in.

But since things had come to this, he had no choice but to follow.

Fortunately, after being shocked by the previous treasures, Yu Ding felt that nothing was surprising anymore.

He felt like he was browsing an antique market, and even felt that it would be strange if there wasn't anything interesting here.

“Junior Brother Yun Zhongzi, you even have the cave-guarding treasures of Senior Brothers Guang Chengzi and Chi Jingzi here.”

After examining it closely, Yu Ding asked with some anticipation, "Where is my Immortal-Slaying Sword, brother?"

“This…” Yun Zhongzi hesitated.

"There can't be none, can there?" Yu Ding asked.

He was a little angry that there were so many imitations here, but his Immortal-Slaying Sword was the only one missing.

Yun Zhongzi quickly explained, "Senior brother, I already have the Demon-Revealing Sword, why would I need to imitate your Immortal-Slaying Sword?"

"I guess what you said makes sense."

Yu Ding strolled leisurely through the collection room, and soon muttered, "Strange."

"What's so strange, Senior Brother?" Yun Zhongzi asked, puzzled.

Yu Ding stared at Yun Zhongzi and said, "You didn't even spare your Uncle Daode and Master, so why aren't there any Uncle Shi's here... Hmm, why is there only one?"

As they were talking, Yu Ding suddenly caught sight of something.

In front of them floated a simple, ancient sword blank that was neither gold, stone, nor jade, but shaped like a sword and looked dusty.

He was naturally referring to the Four Swords of Zhuxian. Given Yun Zhongzi's temperament, he should possess all four swords.

However, at this moment, there is only one bite, and it is only a rough embryo of a sword.

Almost at the same time, the sword embryo seemed to sense something, trembled slightly, and flew towards the jade cauldron, landing in his hand.

Yu Ding looked somewhat bewildered at the sword embryo that had landed in his hand.

"Hmm?" Yun Zhongzi also hurriedly stepped forward.

Yu Ding played with the sword embryo for a moment, and with a hum, a snow-white sword light flew out from his body, transforming into the Immortal-Slaying Sword and stopping beside him, seemingly staring at him.

"have a look."

Yu Ding chuckled dryly, "I was just looking at it. It crawled into my hand on its own. Now that I've looked at it, I'm returning it."

The Immortal-Slaying Sword is an innate sword embryo, and as the treasure of the Golden Cloud Cave on Jade Spring Mountain, it has long since developed a sword spirit.

This sword is just like the original wife of the Jade Cauldron Immortal.

As a transmigrator, he always felt uneasy in the face of this sword, so the Immortal-Slaying Sword was rarely seen in front of him.

As Yu Ding spoke, he raised his hand and tossed the sword embryo into the air.

However, the sword embryo in his hand remained motionless after he threw it, and it was not thrown out.

hum!
A bright white light flashed across the Immortal-Slaying Sword, its sharpness fully revealed, and its threat was self-evident.

"Stop it!"

Yu Ding rebuked him, his gaze falling on the sword embryo in his hand. He asked seriously, "Junior brother, this sword embryo, which was formed innately, is neither gold nor jade nor stone nor steel. Where did you come from?"

The Immortal-Slaying Sword, which had just been reprimanded, trembled slightly before transforming into a beam of sword light and soaring into the sky.

"Senior brother, your sword flew away..." Yun Zhongzi whispered.

"Never mind that. I'm not interested in women, but is there anything wrong with a sword immortal liking swords?"

Yu Ding said irritably, "There's no problem, right? This Immortal-Slaying Sword is just spoiled by me."

Yun Zhongzi said with a strange expression, "No, no problem, I picked up this sword embryo."

Picking up... Yun Zhongzi's words left Yu Ding speechless once again.

Yun Zhongzi said, "This sword embryo is incredibly sturdy. I really don't know what material it is made of. Over the years, no matter what kind of divine fire I use to temper it, I have been unable to forge it into the shape of a sword."

"The material of this sword is extraordinary. Junior brother, do you still remember the verses of the Four Swords of Zhuxian?" Yu Ding exclaimed.

Yun Zhongzi's expression changed slightly as he said, "It is neither copper, nor iron, nor steel. It was once hidden beneath Mount Sumeru. Senior brother, do you mean... this material is related to those four swords..."

Yu Ding nodded: "It's almost there, but there's still a long way to go before this sword becomes a true sword!"

Yun Zhongzi pondered for a moment and said, "This sword embryo just fell into my senior brother's hands, and Senior Brother Yu Ding is the one who leads the Primordial Sword Dao..."

"Oh, oh, oh, this is unacceptable! Where would we put our martial uncle?" Yu Ding quickly waved his hand.

This time, he focused on cultivating both his physical body and primordial spirit, but he didn't study swordsmanship much.

The reason it's so famous now is entirely due to its predecessor's reputation!

"Hey, Senior Brother, don't be modest. I think this sword embryo is destined for you, so I'm giving it to you." Yun Zhongzi said with a grand gesture.

"Isn't this... bad?"

Yu Ding was still declining verbally, but his body betrayed him as he cupped his hands in thanks: "Then thank you very much, Junior Brother."
