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

Chapter 373 The Birth of the Great Witch
"Your place is indeed a beautiful place with clear waters, lush mountains, and fragrant flowers."

Bai Ze, with his hands behind his back, sighed, "I've been wandering in the prehistoric world for many years, and it's time for me to settle down. But... I need to make three rules with you."

"You still dare to make three rules?"

Yu Ding smiled and his eyes narrowed unconsciously: "Do you think you're some kind of immortal, that I can't kill you?"

If Yang Jian were standing nearby and saw that smile, he would definitely mutter to himself, "Master, you're being too influenced by Fairy Qiongxiao."

"Yu Ding, do you really think I am..."

Bai Ze turned around in annoyance, but when he saw Yu Ding's smiling face, he felt a chill inexplicably in his heart.

"What do you think you are?" Yu Ding asked with a smile.

"Ahem!" Bai Ze's momentum weakened a bit as he coughed dryly: "After all, I was once one of the Ten Great Ancient Demon Saints. Give me some face. Besides, I don't ask for much."

Sigh, it's not that Bai Ze isn't assertive, it's just that the situation is beyond his control.

He is indeed a Great Immortal, but hasn't he been captured alive at this moment?
Although there was an element of being ambushed, once you've lost, you've lost.

Besides, even if he escapes, what can he do? Would he dare to cripple or kill Yu Ding?

He doesn't dare!
However, if it were Yu Ding, that guy would definitely dare to kill him; he was 100% certain of that.

So he gave Kong Xuan a wink. He had already seen from the way the two of them were fighting over him that both of them had their own ulterior motives.

"Brother Yu Ding, let's put aside whether or not a Great Luo Golden Immortal is easy to kill, and besides, keeping Bai Ze alive is indeed more useful."

Kong Xuan said, "Tell me how you intend to establish these three rules."

“When I’m at Yuquan Mountain, you can’t interfere with my actions and creations. That’s my bottom line,” Bai Ze said earnestly.

"You still can't let go of your plan?"

Yu Ding glanced at Bai Ze's head: "Compared to when we first met, I see that your hair has thinned quite a bit. Be careful you don't go bald."

People will always have disagreements, and so will demons.

The demon race originally ruled the heavens and lived in the sky. Later, the demon court collapsed, and the remaining forces retreated to the Northern Continent of Julu on the ground.

This inevitably leads to interactions with the human race, the most powerful force in the region. Consequently, the relationship with the human race is divided into two major factions.

One side is the dominant faction, where strength is revered and humans are viewed as nothing more than pigs, dogs, cattle, and sheep.
Bai Ze, on the other hand, was one of the few demons who advocated peaceful coexistence with humans. Due to ideological differences, he eventually left the remnants of the demon court and wandered around.

Later, he started writing storybooks, and he even wrote about love between different races, such as immortals, demons, dragons, and humans.

In short, he paired humans with all the other races, and the reason he was so persistent was to gradually eliminate the barriers between humans and demons, and ultimately achieve his grand plan for peaceful coexistence between them.

"I want you to take care of it?"

Bai Ze snorted, "Besides, I might need to go down the mountain to gather materials every now and then, and you can't restrict my movements."

"Alright, you have your request, and so do I. If you want to go down the mountain to gather materials, you can, but you must ask me for leave before you go down the mountain, and it cannot exceed three days a month."

Yu Ding glanced at him and held up three fingers: "And you love writing and creating, right? Fine, but your daily updates to your storybooks must be no less than four thousand words."

Bai Ze: Σ(°△°|||)
He looked at Kong Xuan with a blank expression, only to find that Kong Xuan was also somewhat bewildered.

Yu Ding picked up his teacup, blew on it, took a sip, and said, "You've been an author for hundreds of years, you can't possibly be unable to write anymore, can you? How much did you used to write in a day?"

"me……"

Bai Ze's face flushed red, and he suddenly rushed forward angrily, slamming his hands on the table. He stared at Kong Xuan and said, "Do you even know what literature or creation is?"

Don't force me to slap you... Kong Xuan silently turned his head away, picked up the teacup, took the lid, and gently blew on it.

Bai Ze glared angrily at Yu Ding, completely losing his composure, spitting as he spoke: "A good article is born of nature, and a masterpiece is a matter of chance. Do you think a good work is like a cabbage by the roadside that you can just pick at will? Do you know that writing a successful work is very simple?"

"How difficult is it?"

Yu Ding lowered his sleeve, which had been used to block the spittle, and slowly said, "Isn't it something that can be done with hands?"

What's wrong with this guy? He was so timid just now, but he's so excited and out of control when it comes to creating art.

"You...you...you...you stinking Taoist priest who meditates, do you know anything about literature? Do you know that there is a distinction between highbrow and lowbrow literary and artistic creation?"

Bai Ze pointed at the jade cauldron, his eyes practically spitting fire: "I accept that I've been defeated by you today, but if you continue to be so dismissive of literary creation, I will beat you so badly that even your master won't recognize you."

After venting his anger, he saw Kong Xuan staring in disbelief, and Yu Ding looking at him with a strange expression.

"Ahem, sorry, I lost my composure."

As Bai Ze spoke, he glanced at Yu Ding and suddenly laughed, "You old Taoist priest, don't you look down on literature? Come on, if you can write a book that surpasses mine, I, Bai Ze, will be convinced of you, Yu Ding, truly convinced."

Yu Ding immediately became interested: "Is this true?"

If you, Bai Ze, say that, then my alias 'Great Literary Master of the Primordial Era - Yu Ding' will be exposed.

Bai Ze glanced at the jade cauldron and smiled confidently, "Heaven and earth bear witness!"

He spent hundreds of years creating works before only one or two became popular. Only he knows how many sleepless nights he stayed up, how much hair he lost, and how much he racked his brains during that time.

The key point is that this creation has nothing to do with cultivation level. It's not that whoever has high magical power or great supernatural abilities can write something good that will last forever.

He has been writing for so long, yet only one or two of his works can be considered classics and have survived to this day.

He simply couldn't believe that the little Jade Cauldron Immortal, who spent his days meditating, chanting scriptures, and cultivating qi, could surpass him in this aspect.

“Alright!” Yu Ding readily agreed: “It’s a deal, heaven and earth are our witnesses, and Brother Kong Xuan is our witness.”

Bai Ze stared at the jade cauldron: "You used to be involved in creative work too?"

Yu Ding nodded and said, "Do you count the methods and insights I've written about cultivating immortality and refining qi?"

Bai Ze readily agreed, "No, okay, it's settled then."

Yu Ding laughed. So this was Bai Ze's Achilles' heel.

He had to tell his disciples on Yuquan Mountain.

You can say whatever you want about Bai Ze from now on, but you can't laugh at Bai Ze for writing "vegetarian," or you'll easily get beaten up.

Yu Ding suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, before you send your storybook to the mortal world, I need to review the content."

As for why, well, to prevent this guy from smuggling in too much of his own stuff.

Those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts. Even among humans, there is no monolithic unity, let alone the two great races of humans and demons.

He felt that these stories were acceptable, but there shouldn't be too much personal bias involved. Also, it would be difficult to completely eliminate the fact that humans, demons, and gods all lived in the same world.

After all, there will always be one or two extraordinary people or oddities among the human race who fall in love with demons, dragons, gods, or other such beings.

Bai Ze chuckled and said, "Everything is difficult at the beginning. You'd better write something good first to convince me before we talk!"

Yu Ding smiled slightly. He had thought that his vast knowledge would be useless in this prehistoric world, but it turned out that it was still useful.

Okay, let him think of which classic work, ancient or modern, Chinese or foreign, could possibly subdue this Bai Ze...

At this moment, Wen Zhong was still riding the black unicorn on his way to Yuquan Mountain.

Meanwhile, on Chi Tianzheng's side...

"Open it for me!"

With a roar, Chi Tian used all his strength, his body burning with flames, his fist burning with dazzling light, like a sun rising and crashing into the night sky.

It wasn't nighttime yet.

And this is the space that the Nightwing Demon God's cloak transformed into.

In this dim world, Nightwing was like a fish in water, leaving wounds all over his body, but he could not catch any trace of his opponent.

boom!
The great sun rose higher and higher, and he vowed to shatter this dark sky with his fists.

“I’ve reached the top…” Before long, Chi Tianzheng was overjoyed. He felt his fist touch the top of the sky, which was extremely flexible.

Just as he unleashed his full power, his expression quickly changed.

"No, it's not the top..."

Chi Tianzheng saw that it was a pitch-black palm, and on that palm was an unnaturally pale face, which was none other than the demon god Ye Yi.

boom!
Nightwing's hand trembled, and an even greater force rebounded, sending Crimson Sky crashing into the boundless abyss. Darkness then swallowed Nightwing's white face once more.

puff!
Suddenly, Chi Tian seemed to sense something and abruptly turned his head to the side, but he still couldn't dodge in time. His left shoulder was cut open by a dark and evil blade, and blood spurted out.

Then the blade disappeared into the endless darkness. Chi Tianzheng raised his right hand and unleashed a divine light in the direction where the black blade had vanished, but he still couldn't see his opponent.

"Do you dare to come out and fight fair and square?"

Chi Tian was gritting his teeth. At this moment, his body, belonging to the Wu clan, was covered in wounds, and he hadn't even seen his opponent's weapon or methods.

This made him so angry he wanted to go crazy.

He was looking forward to a thrilling battle so he could be promoted to a high priest, but he never expected to encounter such a troublesome and despicable fellow.

He had originally planned to wait for Xiaobai to come and help him deal with this guy.

But when he waited and waited and still nothing came, he knew that this time he could only rely on himself.

"Heh, fair and square fighting is what you excel at, but..."

The Nightwing Demon God's voice came from all directions: "It's not what I like. I like to chop my prey into pieces, watching them die little by little in fear and despair."

"You're pathetic, you don't even dare to face a little witch like me..." Chi Tianzheng said through gritted teeth, his chest heaving as he panted, his eyes warily scanning his surroundings.

Although it was surrounded by red flames, the distance it illuminated was limited, only about ten feet.

The endless darkness from all directions seemed capable of swallowing up all light.

He had to be on his guard, because here, his opponent could slice off his head at any moment with that black, grotesque blade.

This time, the Nightwing Demon God's voice did not sound again.

"Don't panic, don't rush, calm down, I need to calm down, or I'll die... Ah, I just can't calm down, ahhh!"

Chi Tianzheng roared inwardly, trying to calm himself down, even though he was a warrior who had received professional training from the Wu Clan.

However, in such a dangerous situation, facing an enemy who was stronger and more cunning than him and could appear at any moment, he could not calm his mind at all and could only roar to the sky in rage.

With a long roar, he gathered countless balls of flame in his palms like a madman, which flew out in all directions, covering the sky.

This is not magic but a supernatural power within flesh and blood. His lineage happens to be descendants of the ancestral witch Zhu Rong, and the ability to control fire is also a skill hidden in their bloodline.

In an instant, as these fireballs flew out and were illuminated by the firelight, the area within several hundred feet around him became as bright as day, also illuminating the Nightwing Demon God in the darkness with a somewhat astonished expression.

Clearly, he hadn't anticipated this move.

"over there!"

Chi Tianzheng's eyes flashed with killing intent, and his aura surged as he unleashed a full-force punch, striking the Demon God Nightwing with lightning speed.

"Gah!"

Before Chi Tian could even rejoice, Nightwing's eyes lit up with a red light, and his body shattered into countless crows with metallic glints in their feathers, which flew out in all directions and gathered in the distance, reforming into Nightwing's body and disappearing into the darkness.

"Damn it..." Chi Tianzheng gritted his teeth and tried the same method again, but this time Ye Yi was nowhere to be seen.

On the contrary, after such a high level of exertion, he became breathless after a long time, and inevitably became more anxious and roared in his heart.

"A pure and tranquil mind..."

Suddenly, a voice echoed in his mind.

"Master? What brings you here?"

After Chi Tianzheng slowly closed his eyes, he saw the figure sitting cross-legged with an air of otherworldly grace, and he was overjoyed.

Yu Ding shook his head and said, "I didn't come. This is just a divine thought that I left in your subconscious, which will only be triggered in the most critical moment."

It's still a disposable item...

"Oh, I see!"

Chi Tianzheng scratched his head: "Master, you don't know, I've encountered an enemy who's making me very...very uncomfortable."

"Are you scared?" Yu Ding looked at him.

Feeling a little guilty, Chi Tianzheng gritted his teeth and said, "How could I possibly be afraid of that kind of guy?"

Yu Ding glanced at him and said, "Your only stubborn thing about you is your mouth."

The Nightwing Demon God you encountered is actually an owl, possessing bizarre and unpredictable powers. To escape unscathed, you must ascend to the rank of Great Wizard.

Chi Tianzheng's expression turned solemn, and he clasped his hands in a salute, saying, "Please teach me, Master!"

“The strongest weapon in everyone’s heart is belief. As the saying goes, ‘The brave are invincible,’ meaning that the brave are fearless and can overcome anything…” Yu Ding said.

This was the same set of words he had prepared for both of them long ago.

Such a crisis can actually unleash potential, but only if it inspires these two boys!
Yu Ding smiled and said, "Go up and fight with confidence. Even if you can't comprehend it, it doesn't matter. I still have a backup plan."

"There's another trick up your sleeve?" Chi Tianzheng's expression relaxed.

Yu Ding said casually, "Oh right, Xiao Bai has already grasped the mystery and has the combat power of a Great Witch."

"Master, what did you say?"

Upon hearing this, Chi Tianzheng, who had been somewhat relaxed, immediately widened his eyes as if struck by lightning.

After Yu Ding finished speaking, his figure gradually disappeared into the air, leaving his disciple with endless imagination.

"Xiaobai, Xiaobai...I...you..."

Chi Tianzheng clenched his fists, recalling how he had lost to Xiaobai before.

You must know that he is a prince of the Wu clan, possessing the most outstanding bloodline of the Wu clan, whose bloodline talent is unparalleled among his peers throughout the entire Wuxian Kingdom.

However, at this moment, he lost to his opponent again and again.

At this moment, he couldn't tell whether his feelings were envy, jealousy, hatred, resentment, or anger.

He felt that what he had always been proud of had once again been crushed by that wild witch brat, making him furious and wanting to go crazy, his whole body burning with heat.

In the endless darkness outside, the demon god Nightwing was perfectly hidden in the shadows, coldly staring at the figure with its eyes closed.

Soon, a murderous glint flashed in his eyes as he rushed forward, but just as the black, grotesque blade silently headed towards Chi Tianzheng's throat...

Snapped!
Chi Tianzheng kept his eyes closed, raised his right hand and firmly grasped his hand.

"What?" The demon god Ye Yi was suddenly startled, and the next moment Chi Tianzheng suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes burning with intense flames.

As he opened his eyes, his entire body burst into flames, instantly transforming him into a god of fire.

The flames also spread along the palms of the two men toward Nightwing's arm.

“A mere nobody… ah!” Nightwing scoffed.

However, the next moment he let out a scream, decisively turning his left hand into a blade to sever his arm, and fled far away, looking in horror at the figure that resembled a god of fire.

Unlike Xiaobai, Chitian was now like a blazing sun, his aura terrifying, and his body was no longer radiant with light, but with divine flames sweeping across the heavens and the earth.

"You... you've become a great shaman?"

Nightwing's voice had changed; he knew something bad had happened.

A great shaman was born out of nowhere!

The key is that he is so young and has unlimited potential... This is definitely not good news for the demon race.

"kill!"

Chi Tianzheng roared, his figure moved with incredible speed, burning as he charged towards the demon god Ye Yi.

Originally, there was still a gap between the newly promoted Great Witch and his opponent who had been in the Demon God Realm for many years.

However, at this moment he was filled with anger and urgently needed to vent it.

"The brave are fearless, invincible, and invincible!"

He roared these words, moving at incredible speed with an unstoppable momentum, leaving only a long trail of fire behind him.

"Madman, madman..."

Seeing this crazy scene, the demon god Nightwing's aura was instantly overwhelmed.

P.S.: As everyone knows, there are always a few days each month when online novelists don't feel like writing. I didn't expect it to be today... Fortunately, I overcame my procrastination and laziness.
