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

Chapter 387 is reasonable, it's absolutely reasonable!

"Yu Ding greets Your Majesty!"

Yu Ding bowed respectfully and said, "I hope Your Majesty will not take offense at my presumption. Furthermore, I have something to say, but I wonder if Your Majesty would be willing to listen."

When Bixia Tong'er looked at Yu Ding again, her gaze changed slightly.

"What?"

Nuwa examined the jade cauldron, spoke softly, and a strange light flickered behind her deep gaze.

Yu Ding hurriedly said, "This humble Taoist has not come to block Your Highness's way, nor to defend Lord Shang."

On the contrary, as a Taoist practitioner, I also feel that Lord Shang's poem offended the Empress's countenance and showed no reverence for Heaven, which is truly despicable..."

Nuwa glanced at the jade cauldron: "Get to the point!"

"Yes!"

Yu Ding coughed lightly, carefully chose his words, and said cautiously, "What I wanted to say is... I happened to be present when I witnessed what happened today."

Nuwa looked at the jade cauldron meaningfully and said, "Just in time?"

So I dislike dealing with sages the most... Yu Ding said, "To be honest, Your Majesty, I happened to be in Chaoge these past few days. I heard that Lord Shang came here today to congratulate Your Majesty on your birthday, so I came here to offer my congratulations as well. But I never expected to witness those things."

He felt that viewing the Investiture of the Gods as a meticulously planned grand drama was more intuitive.

His ancestor was responsible for writing the script and producing the film, leaving the task to his three mentors. The three religions' joint discussion on the Investiture of the Gods can be seen as the preparatory stage.

With Yuan Futong's rebellion, it means that this grand drama has already begun filming, and the Nuwa Palace is the first climax of the plot.

Judging from the fact that his master knew Shen Gongbao would cause trouble for Jiang Ziya, but deliberately let Shen Gongbao go only to gather all the Zhou Tian Zheng Shen (righteous gods of the heavens), and that the Investiture of the Gods ultimately ended up in his master's hands...

He was 99% certain that the task would fall to his master, who would take on the role of the chief director of this grand drama.

Those two senior uncles were merely nominal members. It was because the three religions had agreed on this when discussing the Investiture of the Gods that his senior uncles remained calm when the disciples of the Jie Sect were listed in the early stages.

They used the conflicts and disputes during the transition between dynasties as their framework.

The story revolves around Emperor Xin (Ji Fa) as the protagonist, various immortals and gods as actors, and mortals as extras and cannon fodder, as this epic tale unfolds on the human world.

However, with the fall of important disciples such as Yunxiao Zhao Gongming, and the fact that too few members of the Chan Sect made the list, his uncle could no longer sit still, and a disagreement arose between the two sides.

So, his uncle casually found a pretext to appear and set up the Immortal Slaughtering Formation, and personally went down to arm wrestle with his two senior brothers.

This naturally hindered the progress of filming!

Just when his master was racking his brains over meeting the deadline, the Western Sect duo came to his rescue...

It makes perfect sense, it makes perfect sense... At this moment, Yu Ding felt that things he hadn't understood before suddenly became clear to him.

So, back to the question, what role does this empress play in this grand drama?
Yu Ding carefully observed the expression and eyes of the goddess Nuwa before him.

Without a doubt, the person in front of him was no less than his master and was definitely qualified to be a chess player.

Today's events are indeed strange. Leaving aside the eerie wind, the key point is the dramatic change in Di Xin, who seemed like a completely different person.

It's normal that the clone he left behind didn't notice Di Xin's changes...

But this empress seemed to have noticed nothing, and just like in the Investiture of the Gods, she came to cause trouble for Emperor Xin.

So, is it really that nothing was discovered, or was there something else involved?
To be honest, if this guy hadn't discovered anything, Yu Ding wouldn't believe it even if he beat anyone to death.

Nuwa said calmly, "Then what do you think of this matter, Jade Cauldron?"

Yu Ding said, "Your Majesty, there must be a conspiracy behind this, so I dared to wipe it away with clean water. I hope Your Majesty will see through this!"

Nuwa glanced at the jade cauldron again and said, "The Shang dynasty has been established for over six hundred years, but its fate is now sealed. The signs of Shang Yang's tyranny are already evident. If we don't punish him, how will I receive my divine inspiration?"

“But the great calamity of the gods is imminent. If something happens to Lord Shang, the world will be in chaos, and countless lives will be lost…” Yu Ding sighed.

Nuwa calmly said, "It is good to have compassion for all living beings, but supernatural powers cannot overcome the will of Heaven. Although you, Jade Cauldron Immortal, are Jade Void Immortals, there are some things that no one can stop, including your master, Primordial Heavenly Venerable."

Supernatural powers cannot overcome fate... Yu Ding looked up at the sky, sighed, cupped his hands, and prepared to return to the mountain to cultivate.

If supernatural powers cannot overcome destiny, it means that the supernatural powers are not great enough!

He couldn't understand destiny or fate, but with the original text of Investiture of the Gods as a guide, he knew that the Shang Dynasty still had more than twenty years of life left.

This time, when the empress went to cause trouble, her sons Yin Jiao and Yin Hong shielded her from the disaster.

With his current level of cultivation, respecting the fate of others and ensuring his own peaceful tribulation shouldn't be a major problem.

But the key point is that his school of thought, his disciples and friends were all involved, and they all ended up in a very bad situation.

Those were all his beloved relatives, friends, brothers, confidantes, and close female friends...

Anyway, that senior master told him to try his best to mediate, so he would do his best!
Yu Ding glanced at Nuwa again, now suspecting that this goddess might be carrying a script for the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods.

Otherwise, why would you insist on making this trip?
He Yu Ding has no talent in that area and cannot understand the fate of the dynasty, but with the abilities of a sage, how could he possibly miscalculate the fate of the Shang dynasty?
"Yu Ding, you shall come with me!"

"Okay! Huh?"

Yu Ding looked up in surprise and saw that Nuwa had already ridden the clouds to the royal palace, so he had no choice but to follow.

They had only taken a few steps when two beams of red light pierced through the clouds, blocking their path.

Nuwa looked down and did some calculations with her fingers. Her face darkened. "I didn't expect the Shang Dynasty to have another twenty-eight years of life left."

"It only counts now..." Yu Ding also looked down and saw two young men in the palace bowing to Di Xin, with the red light emanating from their crowns.

Yin Jiao Yin Hong!

In the original novel of Investiture of the Gods, it was precisely these two children and the twenty-eight years of fortune of the Shang Dynasty that saved Emperor Xin's life.

Yu Ding pondered, "The red aura soaring into the sky above, could it be those two children..."

Nuwa remained silent, but turned and headed towards Nuwa Palace.

Even saints cannot act rashly before the will of humanity... Yu Ding seemed to be deep in thought, recalling the records in the Investiture of the Gods.

It was precisely for this reason that Nuwa, still furious, sent the three demons from Xuanyuan Tomb into the palace to wreak havoc on the fortunes of the Shang Dynasty, accelerating its imminent collapse.

Yu Ding watched the departing figure for a moment, then seemed to have thought of something and quickly followed after it.

"Jade Cauldron Immortal, now that you've achieved your goal, why are you still following me?" Nuwa said indifferently without turning her head.

Yu Ding smiled slightly: "The Empress just asked me to come along, and I think there must be a deeper meaning behind it."

Nuwa stopped, looked at the jade cauldron, and suddenly smiled, praising, "As expected of you, Jade Cauldron. Did you see everything clearly just now?"

Yu Ding nodded: "I can see it very clearly!"

Nuwa smiled and said, "Have you heard what I said today?"

Yu Ding paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "I understand perfectly well."

"Then my trip wasn't in vain, and you don't need to come along."

Nuwa smiled and then disappeared from the spot with Bixiao Boy.

"Did you see clearly? Did you hear clearly...?"

Yu Ding gazed at them, gradually falling into deep thought. Well, he hadn't yet deciphered the hidden meaning this lady was trying to convey to him.
But judging from the fact that the other party was intentionally guiding him and leaving him with a mystery, he could be sure that this lady was not so simple... At this thought, Yu Ding realized and wanted to slap himself.

In the primordial world, which of those who cultivated to become Heavenly Saints was not simple?

Following his guide to prehistoric time travel

This man will likely use the 'Ten Thousand Demon Banner' to summon ten thousand demons and send the three demons from Xuanyuan Tomb to ruin the fortunes of the Great Shang Dynasty. A moment later, he appeared in the courtyard of Chaoge.

"What? You're going back to the mountain to cultivate?"

Kong Xuan and Bai Ze were surprised by what Yu Ding said.

Yu Ding glanced at the two people in front of him and coughed lightly: "To be honest, I'm almost there. What's in front of you is an avatar."

"Clone?"

The two were taken aback again. Upon closer inspection, Bai Ze was stunned: "Hey, it really is! Yu Ding, your clone technique is getting more and more refined. Even the two of us didn't notice it at first."

Yu Ding smiled slightly.

Kong Xuan remained silent, lost in thought.

Yu Ding looked at Kong Xuan, took out a scroll from his sleeve and smiled, "As for Brother Kong, your letter of recommendation has been written. Tomorrow you should go to the Grand Tutor's mansion and use Wen Zhong's connections to submit it. I dare not say you can get the Three Dukes or the Marquis of Wu, but I guarantee you a General-in-Chief position."

Kong Xuan smiled and took it, then opened it and saw that it was indeed a letter of recommendation written by Wen Zhong. He clasped his hands in thanks and said with a smile, "Thank you, Brother Yu Ding."

"You're being too polite, Brother Kong. Once you've settled down, I'll come and invite you for drinks again when I have time," Yu Ding said with a smile.

Kong Xuan smiled and said, "That's natural."

Bai Ze curled his lip and said, "Brother Kong, don't let this guy fool you. What good could he possibly want from you?"

Yu Ding's face darkened: "Whatever you say. By the way, the Goddess Nuwa just came to Chaoge."

"What did you say?"

Bai Ze looked around alertly, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

Yu Ding looked up at the sky: "In short, the great calamity of the immortals has begun. This is no place to stay for long. Fellow Daoists, please take care!"

Bai Ze, unusually, didn't argue back and instead clasped his hands in a fist salute to Kong Xuan.

The next day!

Kong Xuan stood at the entrance of the small courtyard. The gate was wide open, and only an old steward was sweeping the floor.

After things dispersed last night, Bai Ze ran away overnight and no one knows where he went. He's about to embark on a new journey...

……

The jade cauldron, enveloped in golden light, pierced through the clouds and broke through the sky like a shooting star.

Before long, the familiar mountains and rivers appeared before his eyes.

Yuquan Mountain... Yu Ding felt a pang of emotion.

The longer he was away from home, the more he missed the days when he taught his disciples at Yuquan Mountain.

I remember it was a sunny day when a monkey being chased by a cultivation sect accidentally wandered into his Jade Spring Mountain.

From then on, he began a life of nurturing students all over the world...

The golden light landed and transformed into a jade cauldron, where Qingyun was watering the spiritual medicine.

Upon seeing him, the long-awaited reunion scene that Yu Ding had imagined did not materialize. Instead, Qingyun asked in surprise, "Master, weren't you in seclusion in the cave? Why have you come back from outside?"

Yu Ding sighed, "Master, I'm tired from cultivating, can't I go out for a walk?"

At this time, Qingyun had grown into a handsome young man of sixteen or seventeen, with striking features and not straying from the high-value Yuquan Mountain lineage.

Don't say that Yuan Hong is an ape and Xiao Fei is a bird... He believed that these two kids were quite tall even within their own species.

Qingyun said "oh" and continued watering with the watering can.

Yu Ding looked at him for a long time and nodded. Qingyun had been on the mountain all these years and still had the innocent heart of a child untouched by worldly affairs.

"Where is Yang Chan?" Yu Ding asked.

There is an avatar on Yuquan Mountain, but he disconnected from it and went into seclusion, so he is not very clear about what has happened on Yuquan Mountain recently.

Qingyun said, "They're guarding the lotus pond on the back mountain."

"Have the flowers not yet bloomed?"

"No, it's still a bud, it just won't bloom. Senior sister is very anxious about it."

It's not open yet... Yu Ding's lips twitched. He had previously hoped to rely on the Lotus Lantern to overcome the Investiture of the Gods.

The great calamity has begun, but nothing has yet blossomed.

"What about the three-headed dragon?" Yu Ding asked again.

Right now, there are only a few of them left on Yuquan Mountain.

Qingyun, who was watering the plants, said, "It's also on the back mountain!"

"The back mountain? With Yang Chan?"

Yu Ding was slightly taken aback. The Three-Headed Flood Dragon was a lewd old rogue with a strong desire for that kind of thing.

Later, he was captured by the Heavenly Court and made into a three-headed desire purifier to absorb the desires of the Heavenly Realm. He was not worried about Yang Chan's safety if they stayed together, but what if he corrupted little Yang Chan?
Qingyun said, "Yes, he ran away a few times but was caught by his senior sister and tied to the cliff behind the mountain. Whenever he said anything frivolous or indecent, his senior sister would beat him. She is determined to correct his bad habits."

"Has he changed after being beaten so many times?"

"not yet!"

Yu Ding laughed heartily as he entered the Golden Cloud Cave and arrived in front of the Cloud Bed. His clone sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, and five-colored light shone from his chest.

After he entered, the clone transformed into a golden light and entered his body. After absorbing the clone with his eyes closed, Yu Ding looked up at the Immortal-Slaying Sword hanging on the wall.

clang!
The Immortal-Slaying Sword on the wall flipped over...

Yu Ding smiled slightly, sat down on the cloud bed, glanced in the southwest direction, and slowly closed his eyes.

Although his attempt failed this time,
However, he had confidence in the apprentices he had personally trained.

Even though there were still divine interventions, he imagined that the two of them would definitely have a different ending.

He firmly believes it!
As for him... besides cultivation, he also needs to comprehend the profound meaning in Nuwa's words!

perhaps,

The way to break the situation lies within!
……

Along a large river within the territory of Guanjiangkou.

Two deck chairs were placed by the river, but Yang Jian was the only one sleeping soundly with his eyes closed. On the table next to the deck chairs was a jade tablet inlaid with five-colored gemstones.

Suddenly, a white light shone from beside the table, and a hand reached out from it to touch the jade tablet on the table.

Without even looking, Yang Jian raised his fishing rod and lashed out at the hand.

The hand immediately formed a sword-finger gesture in response, pointing out a finger that struck the fishing rod that had been pulled out.

Yang Jian reeled in his fishing rod and said slowly, "I've been fishing for you for three days, and I finally couldn't resist anymore."

A flash of white light appeared, and Yuan Hong laughed, "Knowing that I like the treasure that he gave you, you deliberately put it out to tempt me. Yang Lao Er, you've used all your little tricks on me."

As he spoke, Yuan Hong skillfully lay down on another chair and reached out to grab the jade tablet, saying, "Let me see what kind of rare thing this is."

But he was faster than Yang Jian, and he picked it up first, saying leisurely with a smile, "You want it? Go take it from Yuquan Mountain yourself."
