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

Chapter 433 Senior Brother Taiyi is an exception

Ao Bing and Nezha were startled by the sudden appearance of water vapor.
However, after discovering that it was just ordinary water vapor and posed no harm, he continued to conceal himself and step into the doorway.

Turning the corner, they saw celestial mist surging on the ground and water vapor rising above. In the center were three jade pools, with water bubbling and rolling like boiling water.

Beside the pool are three exquisite coral beds, beautiful and shimmering with extraordinary brilliance.

"Ancestor, is our strength enough? Isn't it too heavy?"

"It's not too heavy, it's too heavy. I need to exert more strength. Make sure you can pinpoint the acupoints."

At this moment, Huang Long was lying on the bed with his upper body bare, a fine bath towel wrapped around his waist, his eyes half-closed, a look of contentment on his face, a look of complete enjoyment on his face.

Three beautiful dragon maidens with small dragon horns on their foreheads, dressed in revealing clothes, were massaging each other's backs, heads, and feet, while also asking about their satisfaction.

Huang Long sighed contentedly as he spoke.

Yu Ding doesn't look like a novice at all... Huang Long wondered to himself, so where did this guy learn from?

Countless ages have passed since the beginning of time, and countless races have developed civilizations. With civilization comes class division, and pleasure is an indispensable theme.

The upper class receives the majority of the spiritual and material comforts, and this decreases with each social class.

Their dragon clan has a long history of various techniques, which amazed Yu Ding. However, the techniques he was enjoying now were taught to them by Yu Ding.

They even call it something like "the collision of top technologies and the exchange of high art"!

"Pah..." Huang Long cursed Yu Ding in his heart, while saying, "A little stronger, oh, that feels good."

"Uh?!"

Under the mist, the two human figures stared in disbelief at the yellow dragon on the bed.

Our master is not here, retreat quickly... Ao Bing shook his head, came to his senses, and gestured to Nezha beside him.

Nezha understood and began to quietly retreat.

"Huh? Who's there?"

They were fine when they didn't move, but the moment they moved, Huanglong, who had been squinting, suddenly opened his eyes, frowned, and looked around the hall. He immediately spotted the figure under the water vapor and smiled.

"Oh no, run!" Ao Bing shouted and turned to run.

Why are you running away if this isn't your home? Nezha was a beat too slow to react and was grabbed by Huanglong's hand, which transformed into a dragon claw.

Nezha, who had been invisible, involuntarily revealed himself, struggling to open the dragon claws with both hands.

"Whose child are you from in the East Sea... No, you're not a dragon, you're a human, you are... Lingzhuzi?" Huanglong asked, recognizing the figure.

The little boy he caught looked almost exactly like Lingzhuzi, only much smaller.

While he was distracted, Nezha suddenly gritted his teeth and called out "Hun Tian Ling" (a type of ribbon), and immediately a fiery red ribbon flew out from his body as his body blazed with red light.

"Brother Nezha, hold your hand! This is Uncle Huanglong!" Ao Bing said urgently as he returned.

"Come!" Huang Long smiled slightly at Hong Ling and gave a soft shout, and the Hun Tian Ling flew away and landed in his other hand.

Nezha was momentarily stunned by what he saw, but upon hearing Ao Bing's words, he quickly replied, "Nezha greets Uncle-Master Huanglong!"

Huanglong released Nezha and stared at the two with a half-smile, saying, "So it's you two little devils who are up to no good at such a young age, coming here to peep at young girls taking a bath."

Ao Bing and Nezha blushed deeply.

Ao Bing pouted and said, "Uncle-Master, aren't you taking a bath? Why are you having those ladies massage you?"

Looking into the clear eyes of the two younger generation, Huang Long couldn't help but blush.

Sigh, I've really lost face in front of these two youngsters this time.

Nezha asked, "Uncle-Master, we've come to find our master. Where did they go? Aren't you with them?"

"Originally..." Huang Long was about to say something when he suddenly realized what he was saying and wanted to curse.

He said they were getting along fine together, but then Yu Ding said he needed to go out for some fresh air.

Almost immediately after Yu Ding left, Tai Yi followed closely behind. It turns out those two old bastards are so disloyal...

Outside Jade Dragon Pool.

Behind the coral reef not far away.

Yu Ding looked at the door and chuckled, "The invisibility technique was full of flaws. It would be strange if they weren't discovered. Those two idiots, it would have been quite a surprise if they had suddenly come up to us."

Taiyi pondered for a moment and then suddenly asked, "Junior brother, has your cultivation... recovered?"

Yu Ding turned around in surprise, then suddenly smiled brightly when he met Taiyi's gaze: "Senior brother found out?"

Taiyi stared at him, momentarily stunned: "Just as I thought, you noticed these two brats coming faster than I did, how could you not have noticed?"

He seemed surprised that Yu Ding agreed so readily, and also seemed shocked by Yu Ding's recovery of his cultivation.

Yu Ding smiled, sat down in the pavilion next to him, and said, "I won't admit it if others ask me, but Senior Brother Taiyi... is an exception!"

Taiyi Zhenren was the first person he met after he woke up from being beaten, losing his memory and cultivation.

No one understood his panic at that time, but Taiyi was like a straw to him when he was drowning, which quickly calmed him down.

Send him pills, magic treasures, and magical power... Even without Taiyi, he was still confident of returning to his former status as a powerful being in the early stages, but it certainly wouldn't be that quick.

Taiyi was taken aback. This trust warmed his heart. He shook his head and smiled, "Junior brother is truly amazing. I am so happy for you that you have recovered."

In less than three hundred years, they returned to their original state and regained their great power, while we remain stuck in the past..."

“How difficult it is to attain the Great Luo Dao Fruit!” Yu Ding shook his head slightly.

Especially after learning of the existence of the prehistoric multiverse, and that attaining the Great Luo Dao Fruit in this prehistoric world was not considered a true Great Luo Dao Fruit.

The true Great Luo Dao Fruit is not something that can be attained in this one world.

Instead, he would expand his own influence, proving himself eternally, until all the Jade Cauldron Immortals in the vast multiverse were him, only then would he be considered successful.

At that time, no matter how many prehistoric universes or the Investiture of the Gods universes there were in the past, present, or future, all of them will be Yu Ding Zhenren.

At that time, it became an existence that spanned the multiverse, and could be described as a multiverse-level existence.

He simply didn't know whether his master and other saints had also attained the Multiverse Great Luo Dao Fruit, nor did he know whether the true 'Multiverse Great Luo Dao Fruit' was weaker or stronger than the Primordial Great Luo Dao Fruit in this primordial world.

In any case, his master and other saints were also top-tier beings in other diverse and primordial worlds.

He also knew that his master would not harm him, cheat him, or deceive him.

As a disciple, he has complete trust in his master. Without this trust, he wouldn't be able to teach these children who trust him.

When he peered into the prehistoric multiverse, he saw several 'fellow Daoists' who had carved out new timelines from the prehistoric world, thus giving rise to multiverses with different directions.

But those fellow cultivators only created new timelines and universes.

They have only reached the pinnacle of one universe; they cannot yet traverse the vast and primordial worlds and have their names appear in all of them.

From this, we can see... how difficult this must be!

He now seems to have embarked on the path of reversing destiny, just like his fellow Daoists, but he is not confident that he can defy the will of Heaven.

The main problem is that he wasn't given enough time.

Two hundred years before the Investiture of the Gods, he lost his cultivation and only barely returned to his peak on the eve of the great calamity. Above him were the Great Luo and Hunyuan Dao Fruits.

There were only two paths before him now.

They can either go all out to achieve the true Great Luo Dao Fruit, that is, the Multiverse Great Luo Golden Immortal, or go all out to achieve the Great Luo and Primordial Dao Fruits in the Primordial World.

As we all know, the route to the very top of Mount Everest is the most difficult to climb, and the same is true for this sacred mountain.

Seeing that Yu Ding seemed to lack confidence, Taiyi quickly comforted him, "Junior brother, don't worry. To become a Great Luo Immortal, you only need to slay the Three Corpse Worms and comprehend the Heavenly Dao. It's not that difficult."

"That Great Luo is not the Great Luo of this world..." Yu Ding's eyes flashed as he smiled and said, "I know, Senior Brother, don't worry. I have broken through and established myself again, and my momentum is at its peak."

After years of health maintenance and adjustment at the Dragon Palace in the East Sea, his physical body, Daoist mind, and magical power have all been adjusted to their peak state.

The day when I slay the Three Corpse Worms and attain the Great Luo Dao Fruit... is almost here.

Taiyi nodded, then suddenly sighed.

Yu Ding asked in surprise, "Why are you sighing, Senior Brother?" Taiyi whispered, "Junior Brother, do you know that you have changed Ao Bing's fate?"

Yu Ding calmly shook his head and said, "It doesn't count. I just gave him a chance to change his fate. The one who truly changed his fate was not me, but his father."

The opportunity he gave Ao Bing was to teach him the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts.

Ao Bing wouldn't have been able to seize this opportunity, but his father, Ao Guang, helped him.

Taiyi looked at the jade cauldron with a deep gaze: "If Ao Bing doesn't die, Nezha won't die. How can Nezha cultivate the Lotus Saint Body if he doesn't die?"

"This..." Yu Ding coughed dryly and said, "Isn't it better if Nezha doesn't die?"

Taiyi sighed, "This is fate, it was predetermined long ago. If he doesn't die this time, the killing intent of the 1,700 killing tribulations will not be dispelled. If he doesn't cultivate the Lotus Saint Body, how can he become the vanguard in the war against Shang and deal with those unorthodox techniques?"

Yu Ding, feeling guilty, said, "Then I will follow Senior Brother's advice..."

He was indeed aware of this; Nezha's lotus body was immune to methods involving the divine soul and primordial spirit.

It can be said that this lotus sacred body has far greater potential than the physical body.

Taiyi said quietly, "I was thinking that if it really didn't work, I would do it myself, but I just couldn't get past that hurdle. Why don't you do it, Junior Brother?"

"Me?" Yu Ding hurriedly waved his hand: "I can't do it. You know my sword has been a bit dull lately."

This old Taiyi is indeed as eccentric as in the original story, acting on a whim.

In the original story, in order to quell Nezha's murderous intent, Li Jing meticulously arranged for Nezha's every move as Nezha, having attained enlightenment, pursued him.

First, Manjushri Bodhisattva intervened, and then Samantabhadra Bodhisattva intervened halfway through. Later, Dipankara Buddha taught Li Jing the Golden Pagoda. He believed that all of this was arranged by this guy.

Now that Nezha has finally escaped death, he's being forced to do it...

Taiyi snorted coldly, "You're the one who caused this trouble, who else should we blame but you? Sigh, this kid idolizes Li Jing now, and he listens to Li Jing so much that he hardly ever goes out. Otherwise, he might cause some minor trouble..."

Yu Ding coughed lightly: "Senior brother, watch your words. A master can't just hope his disciple causes trouble!"

He has a lot to say on this.

I'm not going to say anything more; it'll only bring tears to my eyes.

Taiyi asked worriedly, "Then what do you suggest we do?"

Yu Ding pondered for a moment, then his eyes lit up: "Why don't you just let him cultivate the Lotus Holy Body into an external avatar? Why do you have to torture your disciple to death?"

"Will this work? I know a little about the technique of creating an avatar, but I haven't had the chance to use it before, so I'm not very familiar with it!" Taiyi hesitated.

Yu Ding laughed and patted his chest, assuring him, "I know it well, don't worry, with my instruction, it'll be a breeze."

As the two were talking, they suddenly saw Ao Bing and Nezha emerge from the Jade Dragon Pool, but both of them were somewhat blushing.

Ao Bing teased, "Brother Nezha, why did your face turn red when those dragon girls teased you?"

Nezha blushed and said, "I was just... I was just holding my breath in the sea for too long, so my blood and qi weren't flowing smoothly. Why are you blushing?"

Ao Bing coughed lightly, put his arm around Nezha's shoulder and said, "Brother is radiant. Tell me honestly, aren't those dragon maidens beautiful?"

Nezha hesitated for a moment and then nodded.

"Hehe, I knew you wouldn't do anything good. Come on, I'll take you to play with my little sister..." Ao Bing said with a grin.

The two were arm in arm when they bumped into Yu Ding and Tai Yi coming together. They quickly bowed and said, "Master!"

Taiyi glanced at the two of them and said, "Have you had enough fun?"

Nezha nodded quickly.

Taiyi said, "We'll head back now that we've had enough fun, otherwise your father might be getting impatient. Junior brother, I'll leave that matter to you."

"Of course, I'll come in a while," Yu Ding nodded.

He and Ao Bing immediately escorted Taiyi and his apprentice to the Dragon Palace, where the two brothers were reluctant to part.

Ao Bing also gave Nezha a conch shell, telling him that he could blow it whenever he wanted to find him.

After Taiyi and the others left, Ao Bing asked, "Master, where did you go just now? I couldn't find you anywhere."

Yu Ding glanced at him: "And what about you? What were you doing just now? How could your master find you?"

Ao Bing wisely refrained from asking further questions.

Just as the two were about to return, a huge golden dragon suddenly appeared out of the Crystal Palace and rushed towards the entrance of the Dragon Palace.

"Father!" Ao Bing waved and called out.

"Immortal Jade Cauldron!"

Upon seeing Yu Ding and Ao Bing, the golden dragon immediately landed and transformed into Ao Guang, though he appeared somewhat panicked.

"Dragon King, what has happened to make you so panicked?" Yu Ding asked calmly.

Ao Guang glanced at Ao Bing and transmitted his voice: "Something has happened at the Demon Sealing Cave. The demonic energy is surging, and the demons sealed inside seem to be attacking the seal again."

Seeing Ao Guang's expression, Yu Ding pondered for a moment and transmitted his voice, "Is it related to the fortune of the East Sea Dragon Clan?"

Ao Guang paused for a moment and nodded bitterly: "I won't say anything more. Xiao Long, go and check on things first. I've already sent my men to inform Uncle Jiu."

"Then I will also go and see what exactly is sealed inside the Demon Sealing Hall."

Yu Ding stopped transmitting his voice and said to Ao Bing, "Disciple, go back and do your homework first. I'll be right back."

“This…” Ao Guang looked at the jade cauldron and wanted to refuse.

After all, it was rumored that Yu Ding had been robbed and lost his magic power, so he wouldn't be able to help even if he went. But after a moment's thought, he said, "Immortal, please, Bing'er, be good and go back."

Ao Bing had no choice but to reluctantly turn around and go back.

Ao Guang then revealed his dragon form, allowing the jade cauldron to stand on his back and fly away at high speed.

"What is Father up to? He's so secretive. Is there something I can't know? Even Master is like this."

After they had gone far away, Ao Bing appeared in the place where there was no one before, staring in the direction they had gone with a puzzled look on his face.

Soon, his eyes flashed, and he transformed into a silver swordfish, piercing through the seawater like an arrow released from a bow, and chased after it.

……

After Nezha and Taiyi Zhenren reached the shore, they realized it was the next morning.

"Master, was that Uncle Yu Ding, Brother Ao Bing's master?" Nezha asked, turning his head.

Taiyi paused for a moment, somewhat dazed, as if the scene of Lingzhuzi asking him a question many years ago had appeared in his mind.

However, Lingzhuzi was always interested in following Yang Jian at that time.

He said, "That's right. In a few days, your Uncle Yu Ding will come to teach you a supernatural power. You must study hard and pay close attention."

Nezha said smugly, "Master, you know my talent for learning magic. I'll definitely master it."

These two uncles and nephews... Taiyi's expression was strange. After entering the pass, they separated, one going home and the other returning to their residence.

It's not that Taiyi likes staying in Chentang Pass or likes this place, but rather that the Golden Light Cave of Qianyuan Mountain is quite far from Chentang Pass.

Chentang Pass, Dayingli.

It was morning, and the weather was still relatively cool. The soldiers were training in battle formation with their weapons.

Li Jing, dressed in civilian clothes, walked alone in the military camp, lost in thought.

"What's wrong, General Li? Is something on your mind?"

Li Jing turned around and saw that it was his deputy general, who had gone out on a mission: "Yes, there are some. You're back?"

The two found a shady spot under a tree and sat down. The lieutenant began to casually take off his military boots and dump the sand out, saying, "It was so gritty! This feels much better. General, what's bothering you?"

Li Jing pondered for a moment and then asked, "Why did you join the army?"

The lieutenant was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said, "Of course, soldiers have food to eat. I am illiterate and have no family background, so I can only come to the army to make a living if I can't become an official."

Li Jing shook his head and said, "What I mean is... would you risk your life for the Great Shang and for the King?"
