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

Chapter 395 The Primordial Era? The Investiture of the Gods!
"really……"

Yu Ding stared at Yu Ding Zhenren opposite him and said in a deep voice, "You are also a transmigrator."

Upon actually meeting Master Yu Ding, Yu Ding was not happy at all; instead, he became even more wary.

You should know that the person standing before you is the owner of this body.

He didn't know if Master Yuding had arranged these backup plans in order to snatch this body back from him.

Master Yu Ding looked at Yu Ding without comment and smiled, "You don't need to be so wary of me."

As he spoke and laughed, he knelt down and sat cross-legged, and a lucky cloud lifted him up.

Yu Ding said calmly, "I know this body is yours, but you ruined the account. Now it's mine that I've spent countless hours building up."

If you think you can just take it back with a few words, you're overthinking it. If you're willing, this body is yours; otherwise…”

He knew that Yu Ding Zhenren, being a fellow time traveler, would definitely understand what he was saying.

Anyway, he has many incarnations now, so sending one away won't make a difference.

"you……"

Master Yuding stared in astonishment at the Taoist priest before him.

A clear light shone from Yu Ding's body, transforming into a young Taoist priest who bowed and said, "This humble Taoist priest, Kongxu, greets fellow Taoist Yu Ding."

"Master's... Primordial Jade Purity Qi?"

Master Yuding's eyes widened. For the first time, a look of surprise, as if he had miscalculated, appeared on his face, a stark contrast to his previous seemingly perfect control of everything.

Then another ray of light appeared here and transformed into the shape of a jade cauldron.

Yu Ding stared at Yu Ding Zhenren and calmly asked, "Fellow Daoist, are you satisfied?"

He believed that the body formed from this pure jade energy was no worse than the original small cauldron.

Master Yuding glanced at Yuding, then at the Void Daoist beside him, who was already at the peak of the Celestial Immortal realm and was just one step away from the Golden Immortal realm.

"If I say I'm not satisfied..." Master Yu Ding said slowly.

"If this body still doesn't satisfy you, fellow Daoist,"

Yu Ding slowly assumed a stance, his body swirling with the yin and yang energies: "Then this humble Taoist also knows a little bit of martial arts."

He is now in his true form, having reached the seventh stage of immortality, so he is no longer afraid of Jade Cauldron Immortal's backup plan.

The identity of Jade Cauldron Immortal is not only the foundation of his existence in the prehistoric world, but also the bond between him and his disciples.

Once he loses this identity, then...

As for that master, he decided to go all the way and confess after he had done it.

"Tai Chi Chuan... no, this has transcended technique; it is a divine power based on the principles of Yin and Yang!"

Master Yu Ding once again showed surprise, gazing at the familiar body before him.
He suddenly seemed relieved, shook his head and smiled, "No need, I don't need that body anymore."

Yu Ding was slightly taken aback, then frowned and asked, "What do you mean by that?"

Master Yu Ding slowly raised his head, his expression calm, and said, "Because of me, it is you!"

"What nonsense!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Ding was taken aback, then lightly scolded, "If you continue to spout nonsense, don't blame me for being impolite."

He naturally didn't believe that.

"I never realized that my cautious and prudent nature was so annoying."

Master Yu Ding sighed wearily, then said, "Your name is Wang Ding. You were born twenty-eight years ago, are unmarried, have one brother, your bank account number ends in 153, and your first love was in Class Three..."

"enough!"

Yu Ding stared at Yu Ding Zhenren with surprise and uncertainty.

"Don't look at me like that. I told you, I am you."

Master Yu Ding said calmly, "It's just that I took the wrong path, which is why you came into being."

"Otherwise, do you think it's so easy to possess the bodies of the Twelve Immortal Leaders of Jade Void?"

"You happened to be a time traveler after transmigrating?"

"Didn't Master and his fellow disciples notice the change in the True Spirit?"

A series of sharp questions were posed, questions that had previously baffled Yu Ding.

This immediately silenced the old jade cauldron.

He also thought back to the first time he returned to Yuxu Palace.

He was indeed terrified at the time, but in the end, he passed the test with the Primordial Sage without any real danger, and nothing happened.

"What...what's going on?"

Jade Cauldron's primordial spirit rubbed its brow, quickly digesting this information.

“I know you have a lot of questions you want answered, but tell me something first.”

Instead of answering, Master Yuding asked, "First, what time is it outside? Have you accepted your disciple yet?"

Yu Ding said, "It is probably the end of the Shang Dynasty now, and Yang Jian is already my disciple."

"Give me an accurate timeline for the development of this great calamity..." Jade Cauldron Immortal said with dissatisfaction.

Yu Ding pondered for a moment: "The Nuwa Palace incident happened some time ago."

"Nuwa Palace..."

Master Yu Ding nodded and looked at Yu Ding, saying, "Do you think that you've only been here for a few hundred years since you transmigrated?"

Yu Ding frowned slightly: "Otherwise what?"

Master Yu Ding smirked: "What if I told you now that you traveled back to an even earlier time, perhaps even to the Primordial Era?"

"impossible!"

"Absolutely impossible!"

Yu Ding's pupils contracted, and his face changed color drastically. He, who was usually as steady as Lao Gou, finally lost his composure.

It's no wonder he reacted this way; the news was simply too explosive.

Putting aside the fact that he and Yu Ding Zhenren are the same person, now they're saying he's traveled back to the ancient times.

What is the ancient era?

It is the oldest era in the primordial world.

This refers to the period when heaven and earth were first created and had not yet taken shape; it was also a glorious era in which innate deities and those with great supernatural powers were born.

In this era, the innate gods and demons fought endlessly, and the most famous event during this time was undoubtedly the integration of the innate gods and demons by the Heavenly Emperor Cangli to create the Primordial Heavenly Court.

After the Primordial Era came the Ancient Era, the most famous events being the great war between the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin clans, the battle between the Dao Ancestor and his nemesis, the Demon Ancestor, and the Dao Ancestor's attainment of the Primordial Dao, becoming the first Sage of the Primordial World and beginning his teachings at Zixiao Palace.

The early ancient times were marked by the great war between the Lich King and the Demon King, as well as the major events that occurred during the rise of the human race in the era of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.

According to the human algorithm, the dividing line between ancient times and the present is the establishment of the Xia Dynasty.

"nothing is impossible!"

Master Yu Ding remained calm: "I remember when I first transmigrated here, I was just a small cauldron, a primordial spiritual treasure..."

Little Ding… Yu Ding’s lips twitched: “And then?”

"Naturally, I'm desperately absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, all in order to successfully transform into human form as soon as possible."

Master Yuding said, "I don't know how many years it took for me to successfully transform into human form after undergoing the tribulation of lightning. Although I cannot compare with those innate saints and great gods, I am still a unique innate being with great destiny, right?"

"and then?"

Yu Ding murmured, "That's the ancient, primordial world. Didn't you come out of the world and sweep around to get some innate spiritual treasures?"

Master Yu Ding said confidently, "Of course I went out."

Yu Ding's eyes lit up: "How was the harvest?"

Master Yu Ding glanced at him: "We were almost wiped out."

Sweat... Yu Ding coughed dryly, almost forgetting that they themselves were innate spiritual treasures.

Although he knew that the ancient wilderness was extremely dangerous, as an observer he still had to comment... truly useless!
Master Yu Ding looked nostalgic: "Back then, the prehistoric world was full of Great Luo Immortals, and Golden Immortals were as common as dogs. Later, I met a great... cough cough, and we traveled the prehistoric world together."

"Big what? Who?"

Yu Ding asked suspiciously, "Which great master?"

Master Yu Ding coughed and said, "Let's not talk about the past anymore, but I did manage to find quite a few rare and valuable items back then, such as the True Blood of the Ancestral Witch."

"Where is the true blood?"

Yu Ding's eyes flashed. If he obtained the Ancestral Witch's true blood, the eighth level of his profound cultivation would no longer be a distant dream, and he might even have a chance to break through to the ninth level.

Master Yu Ding glanced at him and his expression turned serious: "This is the second important thing I want to tell you."

Yu Ding's expression turned serious: "From you to me?"

Jade Cauldron Immortal: "Not bad."

Yu Ding asked, "Is it related to what you just said about taking the wrong path?"

Master Yu Ding nodded slightly: "Not bad. What are your impressions of this primordial world?"

“It’s huge!” Yu Ding said directly.

The Primordial Great World stands at the center of the universe, the most central location in this world, while the Three Thousand Great Worlds are like stars surrounding the moon.

Beyond the three thousand great worlds, there are countless middle and small worlds, either already existing or still in the process of being conceived.

Don't look down on the small world; each of those small worlds is as big as the Milky Way.

Master Yu Ding sighed and said, "What if I told you... this isn't the primordial world?"

“No…” Yu Ding’s eyes widened, and then he looked up in panic toward the direction of Yu Xu Palace.

Master Yu Ding said, "Don't worry, with Master's abilities, how could these things be kept from them?"

The fact that I chose to talk to you here means it's absolutely safe here. Like I said, this is our home; don't look down on your Master.

Yu Ding paused for a moment: "If this isn't the primordial world... then where is it?"

Let me put it this way!

Master Yu Ding thought for a moment, then raised his hand, and a holographic projection-like light screen appeared before him, displaying some ancient pictures.

A giant wielding a massive axe cleaved through chaos, calming the surging earth, wind, water, and fire. The pure energy rose and transformed into the sky, the sun, moon, and stars.
Then the turbid air sank and formed earth and water volcanic rocks.
Then the giant stood tall and imposing, his body transforming into all things. Many figures, shorter than the giant, appeared. Later, the primordial energy of heaven and earth coalesced into birds, beasts, and tiny people...

Yu Ding was shocked. Humans weren't created by the goddess Nuwa?

Master Yuding looked at him and asked, "What came to mind?"

Yu Ding slowly said, "This is not the primordial world, but... the world of the Investiture of the Gods."

Apart from ancient stories and some myths, the characters in the original novels of Investiture of the Gods and Journey to the West were not created by Nuwa.

As the saying goes: One Yuan is 129,600 years long, which is divided into twelve periods, namely Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, and Hai. Each period lasts for 10,800 years.

Among them, the heavens opened at the hour of Zi (11 PM - 1 AM), and the earth was established at the hour of C
Then the energies of heaven and earth combine, and all things are born. After that, human beings are born in the year of Yin (寅), and from then on, the three powers of heaven, earth and man are established!

Besides the Investiture of the Gods, there is no other mythological figure named Daozu Hongjun; he was only later incorporated into the prehistoric mythological system.

"As expected of me, you understand immediately!"

Master Yu Ding smiled and said, "Originally, this world of the Investiture of the Gods began with Pangu creating the world and ended with King Wu's conquest of Zhou and Jiang Ziya's investiture of the gods."

His index finger glowed and then drew a circle.

"Thus, one element constitutes one cycle, repeating endlessly!"

Yu Ding's expression turned slightly somber, which was not hard to understand; sometimes an end also means a beginning.

Master Yu Ding said, "Until one day, the will of this world of the Investiture of the Gods, also known as the Heavenly Dao, discovered this matter, and from then on everything changed."

Yu Ding was taken aback: "What do you mean by 'no longer the same'?"

Master Yu Ding looked at Yu Ding seriously and said, "I don't know the specifics. I only know that this world is still in a cycle of reincarnation, experiencing the destruction and rebirth of the past. Apart from those few saints who are beyond the world, no one can escape this great calamity of destruction."

No one was there... Upon hearing this, Yu Ding's expression suddenly changed.

As everyone knows, there are three main pursuits in cultivating immortality:
Immortality, lifespan equal to heaven, indestructible through countless eons!
He is now almost at the second stage, although he feels that the world is still far from ending.
But hearing these words still made him feel uneasy.

Master Yu Ding slowly said, "A world's destruction and rebirth can be called a chaotic year, and so far, this world has experienced about eighteen such chaotic years."

Master Yu Ding was suddenly stunned: "How do you know all this?"

He thought of the Nuwa Palace incident.

He suddenly understood why the goddess's anger wasn't intense during the Nuwa Palace incident, and why her actions seemed like a perfunctory formality.

Think about it, she went to cause trouble for Di Xin a total of eighteen times.

Having witnessed the destruction of Di Xin and his Shang dynasty eighteen times, shouldn't even the fire of a sage be extinguished by now?
Is going now out of anger?

No, this is a task assigned by the client, Tiandao!

Master Yu Ding looked at him and coughed lightly, saying, "I happen to know about this matter... cough, this matter is quite complicated to explain, you may find out for yourself in the future."

Yu Ding: "..."

Composing himself, he rubbed his temples wearily and said, "Is this something I should know?"

Master Yu Ding smiled meaningfully and said, "These are all precious treasures I left you when I was adventuring in the prehistoric world. Don't be ungrateful. It's just that I sealed them away before and they were never heard by a third pair of ears."

A third pair of ears… Yu Ding’s eyes flashed: “The Six-Eared Macaque?”

If it were the world of Investiture of the Gods, there would definitely be no Six-Eared Macaque.

But if it is a prehistoric wilderness, then its vastness, abundance of resources, and biodiversity should not be underestimated.
