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

Chapter 443 Master, I've disgraced Jade Spring Mountain!

"Catch that little dragon cub."

The Black Tiger Venerable raised his claw and pointed, shouting, "The Great Sages will be richly rewarded!"

In fact, there was no need for it to say anything more at this moment. The other great demon kings and beast kings were like wolves seeing lambs, eager to pounce on them.

It wasn't that they didn't witness the deaths of the White Tiger, Firebird, and other Venerable Ones, and thus felt apprehensive; rather, it was because their current lineup was simply too formidable.

At this moment, everyone present was a great demon king who had stepped into the Celestial Realm, transcending the Three Realms and outside the Five Elements.

It is no exaggeration to say that everyone here was once a powerful and infamous ruler, with countless dead at his hands.

However, they were unlucky. They either caused too much trouble or disrespected the Demon Court, which led to their capture, suppression, and imprisonment here for thousands or tens of thousands of years.

At this moment, in order to break free from the cage of the Demon Sealing World, almost all the Celestial Immortals here have come out, totaling more than forty.

Among them are beings like the Black Tiger Grandmaster, who are already at the peak of the Celestial Immortal realm.

Such a lineup would be something even the Heavenly Court wouldn't dare to provoke in the outside world, and being among them gave them immense courage.

Such a lineup is used to capture a little dragon cub who has just entered the Celestial Realm...

Tell them how to lose?
"die!"

Ao Bing's reply was simple and direct. He raised both hands above his head, and the two battle axes, under his immense magical power, erupted with dazzling divine light, merging into one and slashing out fiercely.

boom!
With a single swing of the axe, the world changed color, and the void trembled.

The blazing, sharp axe light transformed into a four-hundred-foot-long golden axe, slashing down at those celestial-level demon kings with a chilling aura.

"not good!"

The great demon kings were visibly shaken, reacting in various ways. Some scattered and dodged, while others, defying the odds, let out a long howl, unleashing their demonic power like a vast ocean to meet the axe light head-on.

But soon, those demon kings who didn't believe in evil... came to believe in evil.

Their supernatural powers were almost shattered by the giant axe, and they were sent flying, coughing up blood, their fate unknown.

East Sea, outside the Demon-Sealing Cave.

Huanglong was pacing anxiously back and forth on the platform.

Beside them, the five Dragon Elders looked at each other, not daring to utter a sound.

"Grandpa, I know you're anxious, but could you please stop spinning it? My eyes are getting blurry," Ao Chen said speechlessly.

Huang Long said irritably, "I was just worried, why aren't those two bastards here yet... Oh, they're here!"

As he was speaking, a look of joy suddenly appeared on his face, and he looked in one direction.

Ao Chen and the five elders looked over and saw two golden lights suddenly arrive, landing and transforming into two figures with an air of otherworldly elegance.

Ao Chen immediately opened his eyes wide and looked ahead, only to see a person wearing a sky-blue Taoist robe with cloud patterns, gentle and refined, with an extraordinary and otherworldly air about him.

The other one was wearing a Taoist robe with flame and cloud patterns, and had a peaceful face, looking very approachable.

"Oh, you two have finally arrived!" Huang Long excitedly greeted them.

Yu Ding looked at Taiyi and said, "Senior Brother Taiyi, I just heard Senior Brother Huanglong cursing you."

"Hiss..." Huang Long gasped, his eyes wide, and said, "You two have been here for so long, I could have gone to Kunlun Mountain and come back in time. Tell me, do you deserve to be scolded or not!"

Yu Ding glanced at Taiyi and smiled, "Senior Brother, Senior Brother Huanglong is asking you a question."

Taiyi, without batting an eye, said, "My communication scroll has been having some problems lately, and Junior Brother Yuding hasn't had time to fix it for me yet."

Huang Long looked at Yu Ding with a sullen face, waiting for an explanation.

"You little brat, Taiyi..." Yu Ding coughed. "Uh, I recently switched to the latest Honghuang brand communicator. It's faster, has more functions, and is of higher quality. As for that scroll... I haven't used it for a long time."

"A new communicator? What does it look like? Let me see."

Huang Long raised an eyebrow, revealing an expression of interest.

"Ahem!" Master Taiyi coughed and reminded him, "Don't forget the important matter."

Upon hearing this, Yu Ding and Huang Long's expressions immediately darkened, and they became serious.

Taiyi said to the five Dragon Elders, "I would like to trouble you five to open the Demon Suppression Hall and let me in."

The five dragon elders exchanged glances and nodded.

Elder Bailong said, "After you immortals enter, we will not close the passage. We will close it after the people are rescued and you immortals come out."

"No need, we'll send the Dragon King and Bing'er up first once we go in."

Yu Ding's eyes sharpened: "Once they come out, you should close the Demon Suppression Hall to prevent any demons inside from escaping. Leave the rest to us."

Everyone except Taiyi was taken aback.

Huang Long hesitated and asked, "What do you mean by that?"

"On our journey, we will raze the Demon-Sealing Cave and completely resolve the problem of your East Sea Dragon Clan," said Taiyi Zhenren.

Upon hearing this, Huang Long and the five Dragon Elders trembled, their eyes filled with excitement.

Perhaps only heaven knows how much effort and resources the East Sea Dragon Clan has put in to guard this Demon-Sealing Cave.

After all, the Demon Court was far too ruthless, allowing them to build the East Sea Dragon Palace not far from the Demon Sealing Cave. If they escaped from here, the East Sea Dragon Clan would naturally be the first to suffer.

Even if it's just for their own sake, they can't afford to be careless.

"But what if the Heavenly Court asks about it..." Elder Bailong was still a little worried.

"Nothing but!"

Yu Ding said bluntly, "If the Heavenly Realm wants an explanation, let them come find me, Yu Ding. Open quickly, time waits for no one."

The five dragon elders exchanged glances, nodded in unison, and each took out their demon-suppressing tokens. The five tokens were combined and reflected in the demon-suppressing hall.

Instantly, the Demon Suppression Hall emitted a five-colored divine light with a 'hum', and the two doors slowly opened.

"Senior brothers, I'll be going now."

Yu Ding suddenly unleashed a burst of sharp sword energy, transforming into a beam of sword light that instantly disappeared into the Demon Suppression Hall.

Gou Taiyi wasted too much time; his disciple was gone, but his own disciple was still alive.

"He's getting anxious! Yu Ding is getting anxious!"

Huang Long scoffed, "Now you're in a hurry? Where were you before?"

Taiyi Zhenren dared not utter a sound, but nodded, and the two transformed into a beam of light and disappeared into the Demon Suppression Hall.

Ao Chen's eyes sparkled as he exclaimed, "Wow, Immortal Yu Ding is so elegant! Is this the legendary demeanor of an immortal?!"

The elders exchanged glances.

Instead of refuting each other, they nodded in agreement.

Legend has it that before joining the Jade Void Palace, Master Yu Ding was already unparalleled in swordsmanship, and traveled the prehistoric world with only a sword in his hand, fierce, cough, and renowned for his might.

It wasn't until he became a disciple of a sage that he began to cultivate both Taoism and swordsmanship, and after cultivating his character, he became approachable... Looking at this today, I'm afraid this rumor isn't entirely unfounded.

But there are rumors that this Jade Cauldron Immortal lost all his magic power in a calamity, so why did he look even scarier than the other two senior brothers just now?
Can this rumor be believed or not?

Within the world of sealed demons.

"Oh no, this little dragon cub is showing signs of qi deviation, attack together..."

Black Tiger Grandmaster was startled when he saw the reddened eyes and chilling gaze, and roared.

A celestial being who has gone mad from demonic possession has lost his mind and only knows how to kill. He definitely has the strength to take him away.

But it was too late.

After a single axe flash shattered their formation, before they could regroup, Ao Bing roared and swung his ancient bronze axe, unleashing a terrifying axe flash that swept across the battlefield.

Where the axe light passed, a celestial demon king summoned his golden wheel shield, but it was shattered by the axe. The axe light also pierced through his body, blood and flesh splattered, and he flew out, his body disintegrating and exploding as he fell downwards.

"This...how is this possible?"

Black Tiger Venerable stared with his large, bronze-bell-like eyes. In his pupils, with Ao Bing's roar and the swing of his axe, a great demon king would inevitably fall.

That axe seemed to possess a demonic power, as those great demon kings and beast kings were chopped and sliced ​​apart like melons and vegetables.

Finally, it couldn't hold back any longer. Its two front paws burst forth with fierce divine light, and it lashed out, its two glowing tiger claws aimed directly at the berserk Ao Bing.

Ao Bing quickly raised his axe to block, but the two tiger claws held him down firmly.

Black Tiger sneered, "You treat my brothers like fruits and vegetables, you little..."

"roll!"

Ao Bing abruptly interrupted it, and the white flames around its body suddenly intensified. With a swing of its axe, it shattered the two tiger claws.

The axe swept across, sending the massive black tiger flying and crashing it heavily into the cliff. The earth shook violently, and the tiger remained motionless.

A cold wind swept across the sky.

Ao Bing stood in mid-air, his blood-stained robes barely fluttering in the wind. At this moment, there was no one blocking his way.

The enemy's blood flowed down his sleeveless arm, over the back of his hand, over the axe, and dripped along the blade.

At this moment, his condition was also very abnormal. White flames burned around his body, making him appear as if he had gone mad.

Looking up again, the majestic mountain was right in front of me, and the terrifying aura on its summit grew stronger and stronger.

Wow!
At the mountaintop, as the divine chains binding the three terrifying beings fell,

In an instant, black mist surged into the sky, golden light soared into the heavens, and flames blazed across the sky, an overwhelming aura engulfing everything.

Ao Guang collapsed to the ground, his breath weak and his strength waning.

"Hahaha, Shao Hao, your chains can't hold me back after all!"

The being within the towering black mist laughed loudly, and a pair of blood-red eyes could be vaguely seen.

The figure in the golden light also looked up to the sky and roared in grief and indignation: "Fifty thousand years, fifty thousand years! Do you know how I have survived these fifty thousand years?"

Unlike the other two, the one in the raging flames appeared extremely quiet and silent.

"You... have only unlocked the chains on your bodies, but the chains in your hearts... are still there!"

Ao Guang lay there, pale-faced, gritting his teeth as he spoke.

As soon as he finished speaking, the two figures trembled instantly, their laughter ceased, and they looked towards Ao Guang.

The being within the golden light manifested a powerful magical hand, which grabbed Ao Guang and said in a chilling tone, "What did you say? Do you believe I'll kill you and your son?"

Ao Guang shook his head and smiled, "Even if you kill me and my son, you still can't get out, because this place is a one-way street; no one who enters can ever leave."

"No, I don't believe it. This Demon-Sealing Cave can't hold us."

The being in the golden light snorted coldly and looked up: "Today you'll see with your eyes wide open how we get out."

But at that moment, a figure soared into the sky, appearing with a bronze axe in hand.

"Father?"

Seeing Ao Guang with his head held, Ao Bing's throat moved, and he immediately activated his internal energy to its limit, channeling his magical power like a surging river into the axe in his hand.

Instantly, the axe in his hand erupted with blazing divine light, reaching a height of ten thousand feet, and crashed down.

"A...celestial being?"

Ao Guang showed a mixture of relief and heartache, and slowly closed his eyes: "What a pity!"

The only way to get out is to open the Demon-Suppressing Hall from the outside.

But he never considered going out, because once the Demon-Sealing Cave was opened, the countless ferocious demons inside would escape and wreak havoc on the world.

Not only will the East Sea Dragon Clan, who are closer, suffer first, but if these demons escape, the Dragon Clan will offend Heaven and Earth, and their sins will be even greater.

He was willing to steal half of the East Sea Dragon Clan's fortune for his son, because it was also to secure a future for the East Sea Dragon Clan.

But he couldn't possibly risk opening the Demon-Sealing Cave to let Ao Bing out by risking the escape of countless demons...

Now that Ao Bing has arrived, it wouldn't be so bad if the father and son died together.

Boom! With this axe strike, the world changed color, the wind swirled and the clouds moved, and at this moment, this world seemed to have entered the era of primordial chaos.

The colossal axe, thousands of feet long, descended with the power to split the heavens and earth.

"act recklessly!"

The being within the towering black mist merely extended a palm, its dark light blazing, transforming into a gigantic hand that blotted out the sky and blocked the giant axe.

With a muffled thud, a gust of wind spread between the two, but the shockwaves did not erupt and spread without any collision.

Then, with a gentle grasp, the giant axe shattered instantly. With a backhand swing, it sent Ao Bing flying, coughing up blood, crashing through the mountain and landing in the distance.

Is this... the end?

Ao Bing murmured, and the redness around his eyes faded.

He clearly saw himself being hit hard, but at this moment he felt no pain at all; he only felt a sense of relief.

It seems I am far inferior to those two senior brothers and sisters.

But now that he had done everything he could, he could go and accompany his brothers Nezha without any burden, so that Nezha wouldn't leave too lonely.

Hmm, where did the light come from?

So gentle, so comfortable, I want to hold on to it...

Just as Ao Bing felt he was about to die, a ball of light suddenly enveloped him, as if lifting him up, making him want to reach out and grab the light.

But then his expression changed drastically, and he almost grabbed his master's face.

"Sigh, they say you'll have hallucinations before you die, but... there's something I've wanted to do for a long time."

Ao Bing shook his head and reached out to grab Yu Ding's ear: "I told you not to pull my ear before, hey... hey hey?"

But the moment he touched his fingertips, he felt a warm, smooth sensation that made him jump up in fright, as if he had seen a ghost.

At this moment, he was being held in Yu Ding's arms.

Yu Ding gave him a deep look, suppressing the surprise in his eyes, and said calmly, "He's still in good spirits. It seems he won't die anytime soon."

What the hell... Celestial Realm?!
When he last left the East Sea Dragon Palace, this little dragon cub had just attained enlightenment.

He wasn't surprised that Ao Bing had survived his tribulation and become a true dragon, but how could he have entered the Celestial Immortal Realm?

By the way, Yuan Hong stormed the Heavenly Court and became a Celestial Immortal, Yang Jian stormed the Heavenly Court and became a Celestial Immortal, Ao Bing stormed the Demon-Sealing Cave and became a Celestial Immortal... Hmm, there must be some pattern to this.

There must be!
Ao Bing was shocked and said, "Master, why are you here? I...I killed Brother Nezha, it's my fault, I'm so sorry, sob sob sob..."

After recounting what had happened, Ao Bing could no longer hold back and burst into tears.

He was still just a ten-year-old child, and this trip caused him to lose too much and endure too much.

After hearing what had happened, Yu Ding's expression turned somewhat strange. It seemed that his teammate's sacrificial power was truly boundless.

"Your master and I already knew about this matter. Nezha was destined for this calamity and could not escape it."

Yu Ding said, "Your senior uncle and I have a method to bring the dead back to life, so you don't need to worry too much. We will bring him back to life."

"Great!"

Ao Bing was overjoyed, but then suddenly felt a little defeated. He said, "Master, I've disgraced our Jade Spring Mountain lineage this time. My senior brothers and sisters wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace, but I couldn't even get into this Demon Sealing Cave..."

"You idiot apprentice!"

Yu Ding shook his head speechlessly. Why compare himself to those two people with connections?

At that time, the Heavenly Court had more than thirty Heavenly Generals, all of whom were True Immortals, except for the First Divine General who was a Heavenly Immortal.

Yang Jian had his uncle's backing and his mother's connections to rely on, while for Long Ji, going to the Heavenly Court was like coming home.

Is your uncle in this Demon-Sealing Cave, or is your father the boss here?

Really are!
Yu Ding was utterly speechless. The difficulty of this Demon Sealing Cave was definitely a high-level challenge compared to the Heavenly Court.

Besides, Yang Jian had Yu the Great's axe to split mountains and Long Ji had countless divine weapons and magical artifacts when he stormed the Heavenly Court.

If you don't get some top-tier gear and divine protection before going all out in high-level matches, who else but you is going to embarrass themselves?

but……

Yu Ding glanced at the desolate Demon Sealing World and his expression turned slightly somber. Even if Yang Jian and the others had just come down the mountain, they would probably be in grave danger if they entered now.

"The Demon Suppression Hall is open now. Once I have rescued your father, you should leave quickly."

"What should we do, Master? And what about these demons..." Ao Bing said anxiously.

Yu Ding said, "Don't worry, leave the rest to us."

As he looked up, he saw towering black mist surging and golden light soaring into the sky on the mountain peak. Two powerful beings had already risen into the sky, trying to escape from this place.

"Master, something terrible has happened!" Ao Bing exclaimed in alarm.

Yu Ding said calmly, "No need to worry!"

But then a dragon's roar echoed in the sky, and Taiyi and Huanglong appeared, their immense magical power dispersing and forcing the golden light and black mist back.

Then, a figure appeared standing up in the golden light. It was a lion with a huge body and golden fur, and next to it was a ferocious beast that looked like a white tiger with wings on its back.

"Who are you?"

The golden lion roared.

"This humble Taoist is the Taiyi Zhenren of Jinguang Cave on Qianyuan Mountain!"

"This humble Taoist is the Yellow Dragon Immortal of Magu Cave on Erxian Mountain!"

Yu Ding's eyes gleamed as he scanned the mountain peak. Suddenly, his expression shifted, and he appeared on the central mountaintop with Ao Bing.

But there was a figure hidden in the firelight, with a slender figure.

"Immortal Jade Cauldron, it's been a long time!"

A beautiful female voice emanated from the firelight, pointing forward and saying, "The Dragon King of the East Sea is there; he is not in any danger. You may take him away!"

"You are……"

Yu Ding's gaze pierced through the firelight, and upon seeing the figure within, he paused in surprise. He tentatively asked, "Miss Nüba?"

The figure in the firelight was extremely ugly, with a monkey-like appearance and disheveled hair. It had been possessed by the spirit of a drought demon and transformed into a terrifying drought monster, leaving the land barren for miles wherever it went.

However, before she became the drought demon, her name was Nüba, and she was the daughter of the Yellow Emperor.

It was with the help of the drought demon that the Yellow Emperor was able to defeat the wind and rain masters under Chi You and win the Battle of Zhuolu.

However, after the great battle, the drought demon disappeared without a trace.

The other party smiled and said, "It's rare that the immortal still remembers my name. Many years have passed, but the immortal's demeanor remains unchanged."

Yu Ding paused for a moment and then said, "So you've been here all these years."

He has lost too many memories, and now he can only see a bright and intelligent girl in a blue dress in the fragments of his past memories.

At this moment, the girl he remembered had turned into such a monster, which made him feel very heavy-hearted.

How many older sisters did I know before?
Nuwa, the goddess of the underworld, knows him; Houtu, the goddess of the underworld, knows him; and now even Nüba knows him…

Nuba laughed and said, "There's nothing wrong with this place, and I won't hurt anyone. In this vast world, it's rare to find a place for me to stay."

Yu Ding sighed and said, "This is my disciple Ao Bing. Bing'er, go and thank Miss Nuba for protecting your father's life."

Ao Bing glanced at the firelight, then stared at his master, his eyes flickering, lost in thought.

Upon hearing this, he quickly stepped forward and bowed respectfully, saying, "Thank you, senior."

"So this little dragon is the immortal's disciple. No wonder his spirit and demeanor seemed somewhat familiar to me."

Nuba chuckled and shook her head, saying, "The immortal has taken on an extraordinary disciple. At such a young age, he has already entered the realm of celestial immortals. His future achievements are limitless."

Just as Yu Ding was about to say something modest, Ao Bing glanced at Yu Ding and said with a helpless bitter smile, "No, I am probably the worst disciple of Master."

"Oh?" Nuba was somewhat surprised by these words.

"Who told you to play in high-level games..." Yu Ding smiled and said, "I also have a few unruly disciples who are quite talented but very naughty and disobedient, which gives me a headache."

"Kids are all like that."

Nuba smiled and suddenly said, "By the way, may I ask, Immortal, back then you said you would help me find a way to turn back into a human, have you made any progress?"

Oh no… Yu Ding felt a chill run down his spine, wishing he could slap his past self twice.

How could he know about this? Let alone investigate. How many things did he promise others in the past?
Seeing his silence, Nüba smiled and said, "Then we'll have to trouble you again, Immortal."

She's still that bright and intelligent girl... Yu Ding kept this in mind and said earnestly, "I wouldn't dare, it's what I should do..."

Before he could finish speaking, a figure crashed to the side, creating a large crater. Huang Long quickly stood up, supporting his back.

"We were fighting to the death up there, while you were having a good time down there!" Huang Long grinned.

"Who told me to run into an acquaintance as my opponent..." Yu Ding looked at Huang Long and shook his head helplessly, saying, "Then you come and chat with Miss Nuba, I'll go fight."

No, when will you, Huanglong, finally rise up and shed your reputation as "Huang the Invincible"?

“Disciple, tell your master, which one up there hurt you?” Yu Ding looked up at the sky.

Ao Bing raised his hand and pointed at the ferocious beast that was entangled with Taiyi. It was shaped like a white tiger, had wings on its back, and eyes like blood moons. He said, "It was him. He hit me. That lion hit Brother Nezha."

“Those are Qiongqi, the son of Shaohao, and the Nine-Headed Lion, whose true form is a nine-headed lion,” Nüba revealed the origins of the two beasts.

“Nine Spirits Great Sage…” Yu Ding’s expression hardened slightly.

The name of the Four Fiends of Qiongqi needs no further explanation, but the other nine-headed lion reminded him of a nine-headed lion in Journey to the West named Nine Spirits, who was the mount of the Eastern Supreme Celestial Venerable.

Both are nine-headed lions, both are Taiyi...

Although Taiyi is just a character in the Investiture of the Gods, Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun is a righteous god. The two are unrelated, but it is hard for him not to make the connection.

In the sky, Qiongqi, who had been fighting Taiyi alongside the Nine-Headed Lion, suddenly abandoned his teammates and charged towards the heavens alone.

"Oh no, that wicked creature is trying to escape!" Huang Long exclaimed anxiously.

"It can't run away!"

Yu Ding raised his hand and a flash of sword light appeared. He obtained the innate sword embryo and held the sword to the sky. A bright sword light burst forth, dazzling and brilliant, as if the water of the Milky Way was pouring down and slashing towards Qiongqi.

With a cold snort, Qiongqi's claw, gleaming with dark light, met the sword energy. The two clashed, and with a soft "poof," one of Qiongqi's claws was severed, and the creature trembled as it was cleaved back three thousand miles.

“Disciple, take your father and leave this place.”

Yu Ding, carrying a long sword, ascended into the sky and appeared before Qiongqi three steps later.

Nuba sighed, "Immortal Yuding's skill is even greater than before."

Huang Long coughed lightly and said, "Miss Nüba, it's been a long time."

He was an old acquaintance of Nüba, Xuanyuan, and Yu the Great.

Back then, for the sake of the dragon clan, he helped the Yellow Emperor fight battles and helped Yu the Great control the floods, frantically accumulating merit and daring not to be idle for a moment.

Only Yu Ding, who had always accompanied him on his travels, knew the bitterness he had endured.

That's how Yu Ding met Nü Ba.

Nuba looked at Huanglong, nodded, and smiled, "It's been a long time, Immortal Huanglong."

Huang Long smiled.

Nuba then added, "You lost another fight and had to ask Immortal Yuding for help."

And then… Huang Long’s smile froze, and he muttered, “I’ve just been too busy accumulating merits to cultivate, you don’t have time to expose my shortcomings the moment we meet…”

Listening to Huanglong's confident words, Nüba said softly, "It's so good to see you all."

The Qiongqi's severed claws glowed and regenerated at a visible speed, but its fierce eyes revealed a solemn expression: "And who are you, Taoist priest?"

Yu Ding stared at it: "Didn't you call me down a few days ago? Now, I've come!"
