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

Chapter 396 Laozi had seven disciples like this.

"In fact, the world is far more complex than we imagine."

Master Yu Ding glanced at Yu Ding, his expression somewhat moved: "These are merely deductions I made based on the few traces left by that Daoist Lord; they are not the whole picture of this world."

Ultimately, a higher vantage point allows for a broader perspective. Whether you are a frog in a well or can see the whole picture depends primarily on your position within the world.

Yu Ding nodded slightly, indicating his agreement.

It must be said that the amount of information he has learned today is enormous, and he needs to digest it properly.

It turns out that the "primordial world" he inhabited was actually evolved from the "Investiture of the Gods world" through the memories of that "Lu Ren Dao Jun".

If this primordial world truly has been reborn eighteen times, then these sages would naturally be intimately familiar with this great calamity of the gods.
He said that when Jiang Ziya blocked the thirty-six armies of the Yin Shang dynasty from attacking, and was about to be appointed general at Jintai to prepare for the war against Shang, he asked his master about his fortune.
His master then left him with four lines of verse: "Pass the Jiepai Pass to pass the Zhuxian Formation, suffer the plague at Chuanyun Pass; beware of Dazhao Guangxian's virtue, and you will be healthy after passing the Wanxian Pass."

It should be noted that although Biyou suffered casualties at this time, they were all caused by disobeying their master's words and going down the mountain to help the merchants. The number of casualties was not large, and it was far from the point of tearing apart the relationship and setting up the Immortal Slaughtering Formation.

But by then, his master had learned about the 'Immortal Slaughtering Formation' and the 'Ten Thousand Immortals Formation'...

Actually, he had felt something was off over the past few hundred years.

But if you put it that way, everything makes sense.

Master Yu Ding said calmly, "Do you know why I created the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique?"

"To slay the Three Corpse Worms... isn't that right?" He suddenly saw Jade Cauldron Immortal looking at him.

Master Yu Ding said calmly, "Of course not. It would be too embarrassing to be stumped by a mere Three Corpse Worms."

Hmm... Yu Ding remained silent. Based on his understanding over the years, Yu Ding Zhenren was indeed one of the Twelve Immortal Leaders most valued by his master.

Without a doubt, they belong to the elite among the elite of Jade Void!
“My master once told me privately that even if I cultivate the Jade Purity Immortal Technique to its limit, the highest I can reach is my master’s level.”

Master Yu Ding sighed, "Even an existence like Him cannot act without restraint in this world; He is subject to certain constraints..."

"If I could reach Master's level, I would be laughing in my dreams!" Yu Ding said with a pout.

"That's something I, someone who hasn't experienced the harsh realities of prehistoric society, would say," Jade Cauldron Immortal chuckled. "What if I said... that path of Master is cut off?"

"It's broken?" Yu Ding's expression changed.

Master Yuding said, “Although it is said that all three thousand Great Daos can lead to the Primordial Dao Fruit, I do not know if it is true or not, but I am quite certain that each path can only accommodate one person.”

Only one person can be accommodated at a time... Yu Ding pondered, "The Three Sovereigns of Humanity?"

Master Yuding glanced at the one who was arguing: "You said it yourself, that's the way of humanity. Besides, the merits and virtues of the Three Sovereigns in attaining the Dao are not the same, are they?"

Yu Ding fell silent. If immortals are divided into five categories: heaven, gods, earth, humans, and ghosts, then sages should be divided into three categories: heaven, earth, and humans.

The Heavenly Sage is the highest level of Dao attainment, and there are six such beings in the world today, including the Three Pure Ones of the East, the Two Sages of the West, and the Goddess Nuwa.
The underground passage was rather lonely, with only one person there: the Goddess Houtu.
The Sage of Humanity is the Three Sovereigns of Xuanyuan Cave.

Master Yuding said, "Do you still know the method to attain the status of a Heavenly Saint?"

"Slaying the Three Corpses to prove the Dao, accumulating merit to prove the Dao, and..." Yu Ding asked suspiciously, "...this Nine Revolutions Profound Technique you created..."

"Don't look at me like that. Do you think I had a choice?"

Master Yuding said irritably, "Severing the Three Corpses requires Primordial Purple Qi, and there's only one left in the entire Primordial World, and we don't even know where it is. So, do you think you'll be the lucky one?"

"Why can't it be me?"

Yu Ding retorted, though he still felt a little guilty saying it.

Master Yuding scoffed, "You've drunk countless bottles of beverages and never gotten the 'buy one get one free' offer, and you've ate countless bags of melon seeds and never got the 'buy one get one free' offer, so what makes you say that?"

Jade Cauldron: ┴┴︵╰（‵□′）╯︵┴┴
"Furthermore, it was Master's advice not to try this path," Master Yuding added.

Upon hearing the words "Master," Yu Ding, who had been on the verge of losing his composure, instantly calmed down.

Master Yu Ding shook his head and sighed, "Let's talk about the path of becoming a saint through merit. Alas, we arrived too late. Those innate saints had already divided up all the merit in the prehistoric world more than a hundred eons ago. There is not much merit left to be extracted from the prehistoric world."

Yu Ding fell silent after hearing this.

When he first awoke, he thought becoming an immortal was a long way off, and attaining the Primordial Chaos Realm was an even more distant prospect, so he never really thought about it.

Now, several hundred years have passed, and he has recovered to the peak of the Golden Immortal realm. He is only separated from the legendary Hunyuan Daluo realm by the Daluo Golden Immortal.

But it was only when he reached this point that he realized how difficult those two steps were.

As the saying goes, without cultivation, seeing the Way is like a frog in a well gazing at the moon in the sky; with cultivation, seeing the Way is like a mayfly seeing the blue sky.

Master Yu Ding said, "Since then, I have been studying the Jade Void Daoist methods. After spending countless years and effort, I finally used the Jade Void First Guardian Divine Art, the Eight-Nine Arcane Art, as the foundation to create the methods for the first few cycles of the Nine Revolutions Arcane Art."

Yu Ding suddenly looked at him and said, "The technique has been created, but to cultivate it, one must abandon one's cultivation and foundation and start from scratch. If one fails, all the cultivation gained over countless years will be in vain. This is too risky."

The cultivation gained through countless years of arduous struggle in the primordial era is something no one can easily relinquish.

Especially since it's uncertain whether sacrificing all that cultivation is truly worth it...

Master Yu Ding sighed: "Yes, especially when I think about how I created this profound skill myself, I become even more hesitant."

Upon hearing this, Yu Ding's lips twitched slightly, and for some reason, he recalled the line: "He devised a good prescription, took it, and died." Master Yu Ding continued his story, and Yu Ding listened quietly.

Later, when Jade Cauldron Immortal was summoned by Yellow Dragon to go on a journey, he unexpectedly encountered the Seven Immortals who were with him, and a fight broke out.

However, after suffering a severe injury, Master Yu Ding knew that his opportunity to cultivate the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique had arrived.

However, he also suffered a severe head injury, and his memory began to fade. So he dragged his badly injured body to the Jade Void Palace, which he felt was the safest place, and tried his best to leave a trace of his primordial spirit for his future self before he fell into a coma.

"You mean... you fainted in your cave in Jade Void Palace?" Yu Ding asked, frowning.

Master Yu Ding said with a strange expression, "That's right."

Yu Ding pondered for a moment and said, "But I awoke in the Golden Cloud Cave!"

Upon hearing this, the two exchanged glances and then looked in the direction of Jade Void Palace.

Yu Ding suddenly said, "So, I didn't just transmigrate, but was beaten into amnesia by those bastards?"

Master Yu Ding nodded and said, "I remember that you were hit on the head by the Hunyuan Hammer and other magic weapons during the chaos."

The Hunyuan Hammer… Yu Ding’s face darkened. That was an innate spiritual treasure! One strike could shatter a mountain into dust. How could you possibly hit someone on the head with that?
He vaguely guessed that the fight back then was very fierce, but since it wasn't him who was being attacked, and he wouldn't have transmigrated if they hadn't killed Yu Ding Zhenren, he wasn't that angry.

But now, for some reason, he really wants to borrow that Senior Brother Guang Chengzi's Fan Tian Seal.

"By the way, how is Yang Jian's cultivation level now?"

Master Yuding suddenly said, "Don't just focus on your own cultivation and forget to teach your disciple. He will be of help to you in the future."

Yang Jian… Yu Ding said, “Now I’ve reached the Golden Immortal realm!”

Master Yu Ding was somewhat surprised: "Golden Immortal? With your seventh level of profound cultivation, if you also obtain a primordial spiritual treasure, dealing with them won't be difficult."

Yang Jian alone has surprised you this much?
But Laozi had seven disciples like this... Yu Ding felt a little proud and briefly recounted his experiences over the years.

"what?"

When they heard that Yu Ding, in addition to cultivating, had also taught a series of disciples with extraordinary abilities, who had caused havoc in the Heavenly Palace, stormed the Western Sea, and stormed the Demon Court...

Even the original Jade Cauldron Immortal's divine sense was momentarily stunned.

Why do I feel that the countless years before were far less exciting than these past few hundred years?
"Then why do you call me Mo Zheng Da Luo?" Yu Ding suddenly thought of this.

Master Yu Ding looked at him and said, "Because I can't hold on much longer, I urgently need you to appear, but you can become a Great Luo Immortal anytime."

Yu Ding: I...

Before he could get angry, Master Yuding stood up, patted his Taoist robe, and laughed, "Alright, I've said almost everything I needed to tell you."

"Luckily you came early, so I can leave you something."

As he spoke, he transformed into a golden light and headed towards the space between Yu Ding's eyebrows.

Yu Ding's expression changed slightly. Instinctively, he didn't want to accept the golden light and wanted to block it, but sensing that the primordial spirit was indeed very weak and that he still had a backup plan, he accepted the golden light.

The golden light flashed into his brow and disappeared in an instant.

After a long while, Yu Ding silently opened his eyes, his gaze deep and profound, his body filled with an indescribable Daoist aura, which quickly disappeared.

"Comprehension of the laws of heaven and earth and... the supernatural power of words becoming law?"

Yu Ding was pleasantly surprised. He was too busy to comprehend these things now, but the original "him" had plenty of time to do so.

He never imagined that one day he would experience the benefits of inheriting an account.

The stone door of the cave opened, and Yu Ding stepped out. A holy light shone down, and disciples of the Jade Void Palace came and went.

"So... that's how it is..."

Yu Ding breathed a sigh of relief; many of the mysteries that had troubled him had been solved.

Similarly, after hearing what he had told others, new questions arose that made him hesitate.
For example, when he had just created the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique but hesitated to cultivate it, he happened to encounter the Seven Immortals who were seriously injured.

Was this really just a coincidence?

and many more!

Yu Ding suddenly froze. He realized he had forgotten to ask something: where did he put the Ancestral Witch's True Blood?
"Hey, Senior Brother Yu Ding!"

A voice rang out as Yu Ding was lost in thought. Yu Ding looked over and saw a thin, white-haired old man holding a jar.

The old man was in very good spirits. Upon seeing him, he quickly put down the jar and bowed.

"Oh? Ziya, it's been a long time. No need for formalities."

Yu Ding smiled and stepped forward to help Jiang Ziya up, but his expression changed slightly as soon as his hand touched Jiang Ziya's arm.
