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

Chapter 394 Finally Meeting the True Jade Cauldron Immortal

This innate sword embryo is made of the same material as the Four Swords of Zhuxian, which belonged to his martial uncle.

This gives it a chance to grow to a level comparable to the Four Swords of Zhuxian... some possibility!
Upon realizing this, Yu Ding sighed softly, which was roughly equivalent to saying that he might grow to be on par with his senior uncle in the future.

The Four Swords of Zhuxian were forged by the legendary nemesis of his grandmaster. How easy would it be for him to make the sword grow to that level?
But you can't always have hope, just in case... just in case it succeeds!

However, if it were to be prepared in the normal way, it would take forever, and it would be completely useless in the great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods.

"Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures."

After a moment of contemplation, Yu Ding's eyes flashed, and he made a decision. He immediately formed a sword incantation and guided the innate sword embryo with a "clang." The sword embryo flew up and planted itself in the ground in front of him.

Then Yu Ding lit up his left hand, and a bright white light shone from his little finger, like a small sun, giving people a feeling of trepidation.

Then, Yu Ding held his breath and focused his mind, making a hand seal with his right hand to draw out the white light. He then used both hands to guide the white light slowly toward the innate sword embryo.

This process is extremely slow!

Throughout the entire process, Yu Ding was completely absorbed. He could even hear his own heart racing, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

He had no choice but to be so careful.

Don't be fooled by how small this white light is; it contains a power even greater than that of the sun.

To put it simply, if his Jade Cauldron Hand loses its footing and something goes wrong during the process, then the entire Jade Spring Mountain will probably have to report to the underworld.

Because this white light was the Zhuxian Sword Qi that he had obtained from his senior uncle.

This was also part of his compensation for work-related injuries after he was injured by the Seven Immortals. He had the aura of the Four Immortal Swords, and then shamelessly asked for two more Immortal Sword Auras to use for self-defense.

Over the years, I've consumed quite a few [items/products].

However, he had some in reserve, and now he was going to inject the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Qi into the sword embryo, refining it and integrating it into the sword embryo.

"Dang! Dang! Dang!"

With a 'hum', the sword energy entered the sword embryo, which then began to vibrate violently, as if it were enduring great pain and about to shatter at any moment.

"Alright, bear with it. You must know that only by enduring the bitterest of hardships can one become the best sword!"

Yu Ding comforted him, "Besides, you're not that fragile. You have to believe in yourself."

He originally wanted to try activating the sword energy to see if the sword embryo could absorb it.

Now it seems that he was overthinking it.

Clang!
Yu Ding changed his sword technique again, unleashing countless sharp white sword energies that seemed similar to the Zhuxian sword energy, but the feeling they released was the difference between a cat and a tiger.

Soon, these white sword energies flew out and landed around the sword embryo, transforming into a sword array that continuously flew around the sword embryo, releasing sharp sword energy for refinement.

"It's a pity it's not the true Sword Intent of Immortal Slaughter..."

Yu Ding sighed softly. What he had obtained was the most direct and straightforward sword energy, which could only be used to kill enemies.

This sword energy was imitated by him, and it contained no sword intent of the Immortal Execution Sword. It was like a tiger skin, merely having the form.

As for sword intent... that involves the mysteries of the Immortal Execution Sword, so his uncle naturally wouldn't be so generous.

Of course, Yu Ding was aware of this as well. It wasn't that his uncle was stingy; after all, the Four Swords of Zhuxian were his uncle's greatest trump card.

Would Yu Ding have revealed his trump card to his disciples, Manjushri and Samantabhadra?
of course not!

Furthermore, the chaotic sword energy of the Pangu Banner bestowed upon him by his master seems to lack true meaning.

After doing all this, Yu Ding ignored the sword embryo and sat cross-legged on the cloud bed, closing his eyes and concentrating, intending to continue trying to sever the three corpses, or to see if that voice would appear.

If you tell him not to prove Luo, will he not prove it?

Yu Ding circulated his profound energy, and slowly, green, yellow, red, white, and black lights appeared on his chest, while the three flowers on his head transformed into a stream of pure energy that rushed out.
His perfect cultivation as a Golden Immortal was on full display!

But the voice did not appear.

However, Yu Ding opened his eyes, frowned and pondered for a moment before suddenly getting up, getting off the cloud bed, leaving the Golden Cloud Cave, and transforming into a golden light that shot into the sky.

After the three-headed dragon was dealt with by Yu Ding, it became obedient and didn't dare to say a word while looking at Yu Ding's face, for fear of offending him.

Kunlun Mountains!
Jade Purity Sacred Realm!

The news of the Investiture of the Gods calamity was not a secret, but it seemed to have little impact on the many disciples of the Jade Void Sect.

I eat as usual, I sleep as usual, I practice breathing exercises diligently, and life goes on every day.

With the Primordial Sage in charge, what is there to worry about?

However, the sect leader had already closed the palace and stopped lecturing. The twelve senior brothers were said to have been afflicted by some kind of calamity and were in the midst of it, so they all returned to the mountain to go into seclusion to await the calamity. As a result, when they encountered problems in their cultivation, there was no one to teach them.

Only Senior Brother Antarctica, although holding an important position in the Heavenly Court, spends most of his time managing affairs in the Jade Void Palace.

"Senior Brother Yu Ding? Greetings, Senior Brother Yu Ding!"

When they saw the jade cauldron appear in the Jade Void Grand Square, the disciples they encountered along the way were all surprised and bowed in respect.

Yu Ding nodded slightly, but kept walking in one direction.

Soon, a cave dwelling in an extremely advantageous location, situated not far from the Jade Void Palace and within its inner ring, appeared before him.

It was the cave dwelling of Jade Cauldron Immortal in Jade Void Palace.

Looking at the cave dwelling before him, Yu Ding's eyes revealed a hint of hesitation and struggle.

But soon, the struggle in his eyes disappeared and turned into determination. He raised his hand and waved it off, removing the barrier he had set up. The stone door suddenly opened.

Yu Ding glanced back at the divine palace not far away, then stepped forward and entered the cave.

I've been to this cave dwelling once before. The interior space is very large, and the simple furnishings remain the same: stone tables, stone benches, stone beds, and stone shelves.

Yu Ding looked around. He had felt something calling to him when he was at Yuquan Mountain, and this feeling was not unfamiliar to him.

He had experienced it once before, but it was so brief that he didn't pay attention to it and thought it was just his imagination. But now, he knows it wasn't an illusion.

He didn't know what was calling him, nor did he know if there was danger.

But as he taught his apprentices, running away won't solve the problem; the best way to deal with fear is to face it.

He also came here for another reason.
That is it, this is the Jade Void Palace!

If he had to choose the place in this vast wilderness where he would feel most at ease, it would undoubtedly be this place.

Yu Ding closed his eyes for a moment, then suddenly opened them and flicked his sleeves, sending a powerful surge of magic energy toward the stone bed in front of him.

Then... the stone bed shattered and collapsed, sending up clouds of dust.

Yu Ding's pupils contracted.
Amidst the smoke, dust, and rocks, a small, three-legged, two-eared cauldron floated in the air, its surface engraved with ancient patterns and emanating primordial energy.

"This is……"

Yu Ding was stunned. He thought of many things, and even wondered if the true blood of the Ancestral Witch was hidden here.

But this was something he had never expected.

As he stared at the illusory image of the small jade cauldron, the joy on the jade cauldron's face slowly faded, replaced by apprehension.

All of this... was beyond his expectations and control.

Whether in the original novel of Investiture of the Gods or through conversations with sages such as Houtu, he discovered that the original Jade Cauldron Immortal was no ordinary person.

And now they've pulled this stunt here...

After a moment's hesitation, Yu Ding reached out and grabbed at the illusory image of the small jade cauldron.

"Buzz!"

As soon as he touched it, the illusory image of the small cauldron lit up, and a talisman with three different patterns appeared on the lid, flowing with wisps of lightning, carrying a chilling aura of destruction.

"The Three Pure Ones Talisman?" Yu Ding's eyes widened in surprise.

The so-called Three Pure Ones Divine Talisman is a divine talisman developed by the Three Pure Ones after they became saints, and it contains the power of the three saints.

Because the Three Pure Ones later went their separate ways, this talisman disappeared from the world and only exists in some ancient books. Now, he actually saw one here as a door lock.

This is both the true blood of the Ancestral Witch and the Three Pure Ones' divine talisman. What on earth is Master Yu Ding doing?
For a moment, the silence in the cave was deafening.

Before Yu Ding could finish being shocked, a holographic projection-like light screen was immediately projected onto the illusory image of Yu Ding as soon as he touched it.

Immediately afterwards, a line of text appeared: Each person has three chances to answer the question. If you answer incorrectly, you will lose. Please be careful!

Answer wrong... self-destruction...

Yu Ding glanced at the Three Pure Ones Divine Talisman and his lips twitched.

The Zhuxian Sword Qi blasted Yuquan Mountain to report to the underworld. If the Sanqing Divine Talisman were to explode, I'm afraid all the creatures of Kunlun Mountain would have to line up in the underworld.

Then several dragon and phoenix seal characters appeared above: Which way to get to Erxian Bridge?

Erxian Bridge... Yu Ding was stunned, staring in disbelief at the light screen in front of him, and was somewhat bewildered.

Something is wrong!
The font is correct, but something is very wrong.

Is this the kind of question a primitive, ancient native would come up with?
Yu Ding took a deep breath, raised his hand, and tentatively began to write: Chenghua Avenue!

After the screen displayed the words "Correct answer," several more questions appeared, some of which were equations, others were references to famous jokes from the Spring Festival Gala, but none of them were too difficult.

Until the eighth line, a blank chart appeared.

Holy crap... the periodic table?!
Upon seeing the picture, Yu Ding almost shouted that this guy, Yu Ding Zhenren, was definitely a time traveler as well.

If he initially thought there was a 98% chance, now he's 100% certain.

Master Yu Ding is definitely from his hometown!

Elements, mathematics, and physics are definitely not areas that cultivators from the prehistoric era would study. You say the Earth has gravity, but here, the inability to fly is due to the power of the earth.

Besides, the sheer number of elements in the primordial world far exceeds what this table can contain.

There was no other way; Master Yuding had left a question, and Yuding had to solve it.

He also really wanted to see what this fellow villager had left behind, and wondered if it might be the true blood of the Ancestral Witch.

Of course, one must also be careful and cautious, after all, there are many examples of fellow villagers shooting each other in the back.

Yu Ding sighed and began filling out the form, but he soon discovered something: many of the elements were not in the traditional Chinese script.

Having no other choice, Yu Ding had to use simplified Chinese characters from his long-forgotten memories, and it passed.

Until the ninth question: The red sun rises in the east!
Yu Ding: "..."

This fellow villager is also a surfing expert!

Yu Ding hummed a rhythmic tune as he filled in the six characters "The Great Dao is Full of Radiant Light".

hum!
As he passed through, the illusory image of the small cauldron flashed and instantly disappeared into his brow.

Yu Ding stood there, stunned and lost in thought.

Within the sea of ​​consciousness, a young and valiant Taoist with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes stood with his hands behind his back, a smile on his face, opposite the Jade Cauldron Primordial Spirit.

Although they were born exactly the same, as if they were carved from the same mold, their temperaments were completely different.

Master Yu Ding smiled and said, "It seems your cultivation has recovered, since you were able to find your way here."

Yu Ding stared at the Taoist priest before him, who resembled him more than a twin brother, and uttered four words with a cold expression:

"Jade Cauldron Immortal!"
