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

Chapter 416 The World Where Only Huanglong Was Injured Was Achieved

The seawater gently churned, and Huanglong lay sprawled on the surface, his eyes vacant, seemingly lost in thought.

Yu Ding shook his head speechlessly, then looked around, his expression slightly serious, his eyes filled with surprise and doubt.

Countless seafood items, emitting a tantalizing aroma, floated on the sea surface, while countless wisps of evaporated water vapor rose into the air, turning this area of ​​the sea into a sauna.

Looking up at the sky, a huge mushroom cloud gathered but did not disperse, bringing a heavy and oppressive atmosphere.

This scene resembled the aftermath of the apocalypse... Even Yu Ding was stunned for a moment, knowing that this was the primordial wilderness, where the laws were perfected and all things on earth were transformed from the physical body of Pangu.

Pangu was a powerful figure who roamed freely even in the chaotic era. He followed a path of "becoming a saint through strength," a path unprecedented and unparalleled. This demonstrates the terrifying nature of his physical body.

This is why celestial beings can traverse the universe outside of the primordial world, possessing world-destroying power in small worlds, but their destructive power in the primordial world is quite limited.

And the scene before us is as horrific as the aftermath of a nuclear explosion...

This destructive power has surpassed that of an ordinary Golden Immortal, and is comparable to a full-force attack from a powerful being.

What surprised him was how Li Jing had managed to do it.
When he arrived, he saw from afar that the East China Sea looked like a sun had exploded, a sight that resembled the battle between powerful beings.

Could it be that Li Jing learned some kind of sorcery from Bifang?
Yu Ding's heart sank: "What exactly happened? What kind of sorcery did Li Jing use to make you look so disheveled?"

Huanglong was, after all, a disciple of a sage and one of the twelve immortal leaders of Jade Void, ranking alongside them.

Even if someone is poor and lacks magical treasures, their realm and magical power cannot be faked. Although their battle record in the Investiture of the Gods is not impressive, it depends on who they encountered.

It's understandable that even equally skilled masters like Zhao Gongming, Lu Yue (the Plague Immortal), and Ma Sui (the Golden Hoop Immortal) would suffer humiliating defeats.

Although he was surprised by Yuan Hong and Yang Jian's cross-border battles, those little brats were all freaks and had found their own paths, unlike Li Jing, who relied on external power.

Could it be that the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods has begun, and Huanglong's passive ability of "always losing in battle" has been triggered?
"Sorcery... Oh right, how could I forget about that?"

Upon hearing this, Huanglong, who was on his deathbed, sat up abruptly from the sea and asked, "Yu Ding, after you subdued Bifang, what did you do with that demon, cough cough cough, what happened to that monster?"

Because he spoke too quickly, which aggravated his injuries and caused Huang Long to grimace in pain, he managed to ask the question with difficulty.

Yu Ding said without changing his expression, "Oh, that Bi Fang is very powerful, no less than me, and extremely difficult to kill. I had no choice but to cut that wicked creature into six pieces and seal them in six different places in the north and south of the world, setting up formations to obliterate his primordial spirit and physical demonic power. What's wrong?"

Upon hearing this, Huang Long exclaimed in alarm, "Oh no, oh no! Yu Ding, don't you know that Bi Fang has run away and is now possessing Li Jing's body?"

"Ah, no way, the place where I sealed it is very hard to find, no one but me knows it..." Yu Ding said in astonishment.

"Why not? I saw it with my own eyes, how could it be fake? Bifang's physical body is intact and its demonic power has almost recovered. Yu Ding, you... you were too careless."

Huanglong glared at Yu Ding and scolded him, then pondered, "I suspect it's very likely that Li Jing once mistakenly entered the place where you sealed Bifang's primordial spirit, and Bifang took advantage of the loophole and possessed his body. Where did you seal Bifang's primordial spirit?"

Yu Ding paused for a moment: "In a cave not far from Yuquan Mountain!"

Huang Long frowned and asked, "Has Li Jing ever been to Yuquan Mountain?"

Yu Ding said quietly, "He came here wanting to become my apprentice, but I refused and he left."

Huang Long clapped his hands and stared speechlessly at the jade cauldron.

He had an expression that said, "See, it's just like what I said."

Yu Ding: "..."

Huanglong sighed, "I wonder how many lives that wicked creature has harmed in its quest for restoration. Yu Ding, let me tell you, you're responsible for all the people that wicked creature has killed. You've committed a grave sin."

Yu Ding stared in astonishment at Huanglong Zhenren, whose feet were off the ground and whose wisdom occupied the high ground.

No, what happened? Did you, Brother Huanglong, get possessed by something just now?
Yu Ding immediately made a hand seal and opened his Dharma Eye to scan inside and outside Huanglong. If there was any transmigrator's soul or extraterrestrial demon inside Huanglong, he would grab it first.

Huanglong was stunned: "Yu Ding, why are you opening your Dharma Eye?"

Yu Ding said with a disappointed look, "It's nothing. We were just checking if you had any hidden injuries or anything. Don't worry, there's nothing there."

Huang Long said in a deep voice, "This Bifang, as a demon god, is hiding in Li Jing's body. Behind it must be the remnants of the Demon Court plotting something. Fortunately, Taiyi is here too. Yu Ding, we need to find a way to get rid of this hidden danger."

Yu Ding nodded slightly: "Let's go and meet up with Taiyi first. Are you still able to get up?"

Huang Long flipped himself up from the sea, his face grim, and said, "Don't worry, although his kick was powerful, it won't kill me."

"A kick?"

"By the time I got there, my nephew had been seriously injured. That Bi Fang even tried to kill someone with a flying kick. It's my fault for not recognizing Bi Fang sooner and thinking of separating them first. By the time I realized something was wrong, it was too late..."

"I see!"

"Hmph, Yu Ding, believe it or not, if I had been prepared earlier, we wouldn't know who would have won by now."

"Yes, yes, I believe it, I believe it!"

Yu Ding nodded hurriedly. To keep himself from laughing, he forced himself to go through all the sad things in his life.

If you're saying Huanglong suffered a frustrating loss, then he truly did.

But if you're saying it was a unfair loss, then it really wasn't... unfair.

It's like playing cards. Huang Long started by throwing down a 2, and Li Jing swung the table and smashed it down on Huang Long.

In the realm of Golden Immortals, sometimes victory or defeat can be decided in a mere instant.

Moreover, the two men had different mindsets this time. Huang Long wanted to mediate the fight first, while Li Jing, seeing that the person who came was with Ao Guang and was a powerful figure, dared not hold back.

With such a flying kick, Huanglong was sent flying all the way here.

"What a powerful kick!"

Yu Ding glanced at the mushroom cloud in the sky and shook his head. Its power was comparable to that of ordinary great supernatural powers.

He raised his hand and gently waved it, as if erasing the mushroom cloud from the sky.

In a short while, the two arrived above Chentang Pass.

"Taiyi, Taiyi, wait, where is everyone?"

Huang Long called out twice but Taiyi didn't come out, so he muttered to himself. Suddenly, he noticed that Yu Ding was staring at the scene below with a strange expression.

He followed the gaze of the jade cauldron, and what he saw nearly made Old Huanglong gasp for breath.

In the main hall of the General's Mansion, Li Jing and Ao Guang sat as host and guest, respectively.

At this moment, Ao Guang's royal robe was intact, and he was unharmed. He was drinking with Li Jing in a dignified manner.

It was clear that the two of them were having a very pleasant conversation, as they frequently burst into hearty laughter.

Huanglong's eyes immediately turned red, and he was about to rush down in a fit of rage, but Yu Ding stopped him with lightning speed.

"Yu Ding, I...he..."

Huang Long was so angry that he was incoherent, pointing angrily at Ao Guang.

He was kicked so hard he almost ended up drinking tea with the King of Hell. This little brat actually started drinking with Li Jing!

Yu Ding stopped him, saying, "I understand, I understand. Let's not rush and listen to what they're saying."

After some reassurance, Huang Long gradually calmed down.

"Sigh, speaking of education, to be honest, Brother Dragon King, it's a real headache for me."

Li Jing sighed, "My eldest and second sons have been taken as disciples by Manjushri and Samantabhadra, so I don't have to worry about them."

Only my youngest son is with me, but he's naturally unruly. And the entire Chen Tang Pass relies on me; the official duties within the pass are demanding, making it difficult for me to balance family and work."

What? His eldest son is actually... Ao Guang was startled upon hearing this, as he was unaware of this connection.

Thankfully, the conflict has been resolved peacefully. Otherwise, if things had continued like that, it would have brought great disaster to the Dragon Palace.

Yes, he has his Ninth Uncle and Yu Ding, two Jade Void Immortals, but the other side also has two. We can't really let this cause internal strife in the Jade Void Palace, can we?
"Who can argue with that? I do have a real headache when it comes to children. I can't bear to hit them, but they're disobedient if I don't."

Ao Guang sighed and said with feeling, "I am in charge of the East Sea, and my official duties are no less than those of Brother Li."

He never expected to find common ground with Li Jing on this point.

Li Jing smiled, raised his cup and said, "That's why it's so important to find a good teacher for your child, brother, please."

Ao Guangshen agreed, saying, "Yes, I have now found a good master for my son."

As he spoke, a hint of arrogance crept into his voice. "Immortal Jade Cauldron is no less than that Manjushri, the Heavenly Venerable of Vast Dharma, or Samantabhadra, the True Man."

In terms of helping disciples succeed, Immortal Yuding's teaching achievements are far more valuable than theirs.

Li Jing's eyes lit up and he said, "Really? That's quite a coincidence. When my youngest son was born, an old immortal came to my door and took him as his disciple, so I didn't have to worry about him anymore. May I ask who the Dragon Prince's master is?"

He also began to subtly compare himself to others.

Ao Guang said proudly, "It's easy. My ninth uncle invited the Jade Cauldron Immortal from the Golden Cloud Cave of Jade Spring Mountain to be my son's master. Who is your son's master?"

Jade Cauldron… Li Jing’s expression changed slightly, and he coughed dryly, saying, “Taiyi Zhenren of Jinguang Cave, Qianyuan Mountain.”

Ao Guang, who was originally quite arrogant, was shocked. He had only managed to get in touch with Master Yu Ding through his ninth uncle's connections.

What kind of family and background do they have that they can get connected with three Jade Void Immortals?
Well, let's call it a draw in this respect! "These two..."

Yu Ding looked strange. He was afraid that Li Jing would really kill Ao Guang, so he rushed over with Huang Long.

I never expected that they would already be calling each other brothers.

"Damn it, I was risking my life for him over there, and this little bastard is calling people brothers here." Huang Long was so angry he felt like vomiting blood.

So, was his kick just now taken for nothing?
"Perhaps... this is a case of 'no fight, no friendship'!"

A voice came from the side, and the two turned around to see that Master Taiyi had arrived at some point.

Huanglong stared at him: "Taiyi, were you here just now?"

Taiyi Zhenren looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle: "Nothing!"

"Look me in the eye!" Huang Long said with a dark face.

Taiyi sighed: "Senior Brother Huanglong, on one side is you, and on the other is my disciple's biological father. I'm in a very difficult position."

Huanglong roared, "The Bifang sealed in the jade cauldron has escaped and is now possessing your disciple's body, do you know that?"

Taiyi nodded: "I know!"

Huang Long was speechless for a moment, and he didn't know how to say the rest of the sentence.

Yu Ding said, "I heard Master Taixu mention this matter before. Li Jing wasn't possessed; he accidentally broke Bifang's seal."

As the saying goes, "the one who tied the knot must untie it," and since this was Li Jing's fault, he should naturally bear the consequences. Therefore, the Immortal Taixu sealed Bifang inside Li Jing's body.

Huang Long's expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly looked down, only to find that it was just as Taiyi had said. He was immediately annoyed and said irritably, "Why didn't you say that earlier? And Yu Ding, how could you do such a big mistake? The seal you set up could be broken by a mortal?"

Because it was something I designed on purpose... Yu Ding couldn't tell the truth, so he had to remain silent.

Taiyi spoke up in defense, "Alright, you know Yu Ding's situation. How much magic power did he have back then?"

Good brother... Yu Ding secretly gave Taiyi a thumbs up in his heart.

Huang Long snorted, "Can't he just ask for help? Would we refuse to help him if he asked?"

Taiyi's face turned cold: "Are you ever going to stop? It was just a kick, is that something you can't handle?"

"It wasn't you who got kicked..." Huang Long thought to himself before shutting his mouth.

Taiyi added, "Besides, I discovered this matter a long time ago. However, Bifang did not do anything evil while inside Li Jing's body. On the contrary, it helped Li Jing protect the peace of the people of Chentang Pass and made many merits."

Yu Ding nodded slightly and stared down below, saying, "Bi Fang is, after all, a demon god. The worst-case scenario that Tai Xu Zhenren estimated was that Li Jing would be influenced by Bi Fang and become demonic. However, it seems that the best-case scenario has emerged."

Taiyi agreed, "That's right. I've discovered that Li Jing has not only not been tainted by Bifang's demonic nature, but over the years, Bifang, who was once a demon god, has changed a lot and become more human."

Huanglong looked at Taiyi and then at Yuding in confusion. Wait, how come you two seem to know everything?
You guys make me look really stupid!

"I already know the whole story; it was just a misunderstanding."

Yu Ding said, "Let's go, let's clear up this misunderstanding. I'll figure something out about the Third Prince."

It was a misunderstanding... Huang Long didn't say anything. Whether it was a misunderstanding or not wasn't up to them to decide; it depended on the wishes of the victim's family.

……

Inside the General's Mansion, in the living room.

Huang Long stared blankly at Ao Guang: "Even you say it's a misunderstanding?"

Ao Guang said, "Uncle, you may not know this, but the Black Dragon, who was captured by the Heavenly Court, came to Chentang Pass to seek revenge and was killed by General Li. Bing'er happened to be involved in the incident and was affected. However, General Li did not lay a hand on Bing'er, but only scared him. Now he feels deeply guilty and uneasy."

Just now, you were the loudest barking dog in the Dragon Palace... Huang Long took a deep breath and said, "Nephew, don't be afraid. If you are being coerced by anyone, just tell me. This old uncle of yours can still fight back."

Ao Guang shook his head and said, "Uncle, you misunderstand. Everything I said is true. I was not coerced in any way."

As for Bing'er's situation, Immortal Yuding already has a solution. Furthermore, I'd like to become sworn brothers with General Li, given our shared ideals. What does Uncle Jiu think?

Huanglong: ヽ(｀Д)︵┻━┻┻━┻
What the hell do you mean? So in the end, only a world where I get hurt appears?

Oh wait, there's also his little grandnephew. Sigh, what a fate for those two!
After several rounds of dishes and drinks, Li Jing and Ao Guang became sworn brothers that very day.

After the meal, Li Jing saw off Taiyi Yuding, Huanglong, Ao Guang, and others as they departed.

"Phew, they're finally gone! That was close!"

Bifang inside Li Jing let out a long breath; no one knew how much he had just suffered.

Li Jing said helplessly, "You are a dignified demon god, no less powerful than the Twelve Immortals of Jade Void in your prime. Why have you become so cowardly now?"

Bi Fang snorted, "You little brat, what do you know? You have no idea what I went through with Yu Ding. It's fine if you mess with Huang Long, but if you mess with Tai Yi and Yu Ding, you won't even know how you died. If it hadn't been so rushed just now, I definitely wouldn't have helped you deal with Huang Long."

"You coward." Li Jing scoffed.

Bi Fang shook his head and said, "You don't understand."

Only then did he return to his study to continue writing letters to his master and fellow disciples, inviting them to come and eat dragon.

On the way back to the East Sea Dragon Palace, Huanglong seemed rather sullen and listless.

After returning, Yu Ding told Huang Long to go and heal his wounds first, while he, Taiyi, and Ao Guang went to see Ao Bing.

Inside the palace, everyone was still gathered around Ao Bing.

Ao Guang asked, "How is Bing'er? Is he getting any better?"

The Dragon Queen of the East Sea shook her head and gritted her teeth, saying, "Dragon King, what did you do with the guy who injured Bing'er?"

"I have become sworn brothers with him."

Upon hearing this, the entire room was immediately filled with exclamations of "Ah!"

The group from Donghai were all dumbfounded. When Ao Guang left, he was furious, probably even intending to flood Chentang Pass. But after returning... something seems off.

The Dragon Queen immediately burst into tears: "Did the Dragon King misspoke or did I mishear? You've become brothers with the person who harmed Bing'er?"

On the bed, Ao Bing still covered his body and head with the blanket, with only his buttocks sticking out and trembling.

Hearing this, he trembled even more violently.

Ao Guang angrily said, "Why are you shouting so loudly? I almost..."

He glanced at Taiyi Zhenren, then stopped getting angry and came to the bedside, saying gently, "Bing'er, your father has returned. Come out quickly."

No matter how he called Ao Bing, he wouldn't come out.

Yu Ding looked at Taiyi: "How is it?"

Taiyi remained silent for a moment and then shook his head: "Physical injuries are easy to heal, but mental illnesses are difficult to cure. This Dragon Prince is now terrified and his Dao heart is ruined."

Upon hearing this, Ao Guang, who had reconciled with Li Jing, couldn't help but look grim: "Is there really... no way?"

Li Jing, what exactly did you do to scare Ao Bing like this...? Yu Ding pondered and said, "It's not a big deal if your Dao Heart is destroyed. Just rebuild it. The path to immortality is arduous, and experiencing some setbacks is not a bad thing."

Taiyi glanced at the jade cauldron.

These words made Ao Guang's eyes light up: "Then I'll have to trouble Immortal Jade Cauldron."

Yu Ding nodded slightly, and then Taiyi called Yu Ding outside.

"Did you need something, senior brother?"

"I think... you'd better not give Ao Bing a heart-forging gift."

Taiyi said with a serious expression, "Although this Third Prince of the East Sea is born with the bones of an immortal, he is not destined for longevity. I see that he is destined to face a calamity. He may be able to avoid it now, otherwise you should be careful that the calamity will affect you."

Yu Ding smiled and said, "What is meant to be will be, Senior Brother!"

Not only did Taiyi know about the calamity destined for Ao Bing, but he was also fully aware of it.

He could have refused, thinking that Taiyi would clean up the mess Nezha made in the future.

But when Li Jing had turned Ao Bing into this state, he had no reason to refuse anymore.

Since Li Jing was his teacher, he had to clean up the mess left by his master.

Taiyi sighed and said, "That's all I have to say. You can decide the rest yourself. I can't help you here, so I'll head back now."

Yu Ding nodded slightly, watching Taiyi Zhenren leave.

He knew what Taiyi Zhenren was busy with. When Nezha was seven years old and caused havoc in the sea, he was able to kill Yaksha Ao Bing. He couldn't have done that with just the two treasures, the Qiankun Ring and the Hun Tian Ling.

This guy is already secretly giving Nezha special training and laying a solid foundation for his future.

As for his newly accepted disciple... Yu Ding was also at a loss, looking at Ao Bing who was burying himself in the blanket like an ostrich.

Casting the heart sounds simple, but he's never actually tried it!
P.S.: I'm not feeling well tonight, so that's all for now. I'll continue tomorrow!
