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

Chapter 477 What exactly did Bodhi teach him?
Ah Jiao knelt before the mountain gate, looked at the tightly closed gate of the Three Star Cave, and kowtowed three times.

A winding stone path leads down the mountain from the front of the Sanxing Cave.

Ah Jiao walked down the mountain step by step, turning back every few steps, but the figure he was looking forward to did not appear, which made him feel extremely disappointed.

Scenes from those years spent together flashed before his eyes.

He was also surprised by the change in his mindset. Before this, he regarded Fangcun Mountain's Sanxing Cave as a cage and Bodhi as an unscrupulous old Taoist priest who tricked him into working.

Only today did he realize that he had truly misunderstood his master, who genuinely cared for him.

However, the day of awakening also became the day of parting.

Without a sound, Bodhi Taoist appeared at the mountain gate, watching the figure gradually disappear into the distance.

This was his first disciple, and also the one he taught the longest, nearly two hundred years. Even raising a pet would have resulted in some emotional attachment.

"The journey ahead is now up to you," Bodhi thought to himself, then looked up in the direction of Mount Sumeru.

Back then, Yu Ding was just a novice, not to mention that he had been entrusted with the important task of venturing into Xiniu Hezhou shortly after he was born. Therefore, he needed a disciple to serve him.

The young dragon from the West Sea was 'lucky' enough to become his chosen disciple.

However, he didn't realize it at that time, but as his own realm improved and his cultivation increased, he saw that his disciple's background was quite complicated.

In fact, Ah Jiao could have graduated and left the mountain long ago, but when he realized that the people of the Western Sect were somewhat interested in this disciple, he immediately became alert and delayed his graduation, becoming the strongest senior disciple in the history of the Three Star Cave.

It should be noted that as Bodhi has opened his mountain gates and accepted disciples over the years, the Three Star Cave has essentially become a high-level cultivation academy for 'cultivating immortality'.

Although its reputation is not comparable to the four major sects, it may not even be as good as some cultivation sects and holy lands!
In terms of the value of 'academic qualifications'... in the primordial world, only the three major religions of the East can be considered the purest, and they will be treated with deference wherever they go, whether in heaven or on earth.

Even Western religions fall short in this respect, therefore, these four major religious traditions are temporarily ranked in the first tier.

Later, some immortals left behind their lineages during the primordial era. Some declined, while others grew and became renowned holy sites for cultivating immortality.

Putting aside everything else, didn't Yu Ding become the founder of some sword sect by passing on his swordsmanship?
The only problem is that the location of Sanxing Cave is remote, so Bodhi's reputation is not prominent, and the quality of his students is not high. However, the pace is fast, and basically every sixteen years or so, a new batch of students can graduate and leave the mountain.

As a result, the Western religion absorbed all of its followers without any discrimination and brought them to Mount Sumeru, thus solving the employment problem for his disciples after graduation.

However, he also understood that even if he could protect Ah Jiao for a while, he couldn't protect her forever.

As the saying goes, one should cherish one's own apprentice. He is Yu Ding, but Yu Ding is not him. If his apprentice gets into trouble, Yu Ding may not be willing to help. That is one point.

Secondly, he also understood that once a thief has the idea, it is impossible to prevent him from doing so. Therefore, he finally decided to teach his apprentice the real skills and then let him explore the world on his own.

"Fangcun Mountain, Sanxing Cave..."

Bodhi looked up at the words on the stone tablet, which was more than ten feet tall, murmured to himself, and stood there for a long time.

“Since it is named Bodhi, and since it is Bodhi, then I… am Bodhi!”

Suddenly, Bodhi Daoist's eyes blazed, his body emitted a clear light, and a mysterious aura emanated from him.

Since the Bodhi Patriarch of this world has not appeared for a long time, or perhaps there is no such thing as the Bodhi Patriarch, why not let him become the Bodhi Patriarch?
If there really is a Bodhi Patriarch in this primordial world... that's not something he should worry about; let Yu Ding handle it.

With a flick of his sleeve, a beam of divine light swept across the stone tablet, which suddenly grew from a mere ten feet tall to over thirty feet high and eight feet wide. He then walked towards the mountain gate.

As the celestial light dissipated, four more characters appeared on the stone, becoming: Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, Xieyue Sanxing Cave.

"Ok?"

He walked toward the mountain gate and suddenly saw a vine growing beside it, with a small green gourd the size of a palm growing on it, surrounded by a faint spiritual aura.

At this moment, the vine has begun to wither and turn yellow, and the connection between the gourd and the vine is beginning to wither. Only a faint ripple still emanates from the gourd, swaying in the wind, but it is like a candle in the wind that could be extinguished at any moment.

With a flick of his whisk, Bodhi Daoist sent golden magical power flying forward, which rolled up the gourd and landed, transforming it into a small boy with his hair in two buns, wearing a wide robe, and squatting on the ground with his hands clasped around his knees.

"Child, why don't you wake up soon?" Bodhi called softly.

The boy rubbed his dazed eyes, as if he had just woken up. After seeing Bodhi clearly, he quickly knelt down and said, "This humble servant greets you, Master. Thank you for your enlightenment and for saving my life."

Bodhi looked at him and said, "Heaven cherishes life. Cultivation is not easy for plants and trees. Since I have seen it, I have no reason to stand by and watch them die. I need a servant boy by my side. Would you be willing?"

He had never grown gourds before. The fact that they were growing here at his mountain gate must have been because the gourd seeds had traveled here by birds and, with the help of the already weak spiritual energy in his Three Star Cave, had developed a little spirituality.

However, this gourd cannot be considered a spiritual root, and it is incomparable to the innate gourd spiritual root that was created at the time of the creation of the world.

"Yes! Yes!"

The young boy nodded eagerly and said, "Please bestow a name upon me, sir."

Bodhi scrutinized the boy, and then recalled the image he had glimpsed from Yu Ding's memory when they communicated. He smiled meaningfully and said, "Since your true form is a gourd, then I shall call you... Little Vajra, how about that?"

"Little King Kong?"

The boy had just taken human form and had no idea whether a name was good or bad. Upon hearing that he had a name, he was overjoyed and exclaimed, "Thank you, Master, for bestowing a name upon me! I have a name now! Hahaha, I have a name now!" Bodhi smiled meaningfully and said, "If you like it, that's good. Come with me. Close the door when you come in."

I'll give Lao Yuding a surprise next time we meet. I wonder what his expression will be then.

"Yes!" Little Vajra hurriedly got up, followed Bodhi into the Three Star Cave, and closed the door.

"This kid..."

At the preaching platform in the Three Star Cave, Bodhi looked at the surrounding stone walls, which had suddenly cracked with countless fissures. He then raised his hand to touch his aching chest and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Although he was fighting in Ah Jiao's sea of ​​consciousness, his power still leaked out and affected the outside world. Even he was a little sore from being punched unexpectedly, but he was too embarrassed to show it. This shows how much the boy's magic power had increased after he learned the Water Control Technique from him.

With a flick of his wrist, Bodhi erased the cracks on the stone wall as if they had never existed, just like words written on the ground.

On Mount Sumeru, at the edge of a cliff.

Finally, they descended the mountain... The handsome Jin Chanzi, holding prayer beads and with a dot of cinnabar between his brows, slowly opened his eyes from his meditation.

“Fellow Daoist Bodhi, in the end I have won!” Jin Chanzi’s eyes flashed.

He and Bodhi were old acquaintances and good friends. They often discussed the Dao, verified each other's knowledge, and benefited greatly from each other's efforts.

But ever since he accidentally saw the dragon and casually asked it a question, he didn't know if he had said something wrong or given himself away. In any case, Bodhi began to be wary of him from then on.

But, so what?

Can Bodhi protect one for a lifetime?

It seems he won this battle of patience.

The only difference is that this dragon, which was transformed and trained by them, is now trained by Bodhi himself.

Jin Chanzi slowly rose, took a step towards the cliff, and immediately white clouds rose up to support him, disappearing into Mount Sumeru in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, Ah Jiao had already descended Fangcun Mountain and soared into the clouds.

Looking at myself once again in the vast expanse of the sky, the joy of regaining freedom gradually dispelled the sadness of parting.

He immediately transformed into a streak of black light and soared into the sky, covering thousands of miles in an instant. Thousands of mountains and rivers prostrated themselves at his feet, filling him with a surge of heroic spirit, and he couldn't help but let out a long roar.

The immortals riding on clouds heard him and cursed him, but he was not angry. He just laughed and passed by them. For a moment, he had no direction or goal. He just roamed freely in the sky.

"Disciple!"

Suddenly, a familiar voice rang out behind him.

Ah Jiao suddenly turned around and saw that Bodhi had appeared beside him without him noticing.

"Master?"

Ah Jiao looked at the other person with some surprise, and seeing nothing amiss, stepped forward and bowed, saying, "What brings you here?"

Bodhi saw a hint of surprise flash in his eyes as he bowed and said, "You came down the mountain in such a hurry that I forgot to pass on a skill to you."

Ah Jiao asked excitedly, "What kind of supernatural power?"

Bodhi smiled confidently and said, "Overturning rivers and seas!"

This is one of the most renowned supernatural powers in the East.

Ah Jiao was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, Master. Please grant me the Dharma."

Bodhi nodded slightly: "Come forward and I will impart the secret formula to you!"

Ah Jiao nodded and stepped forward. As the two approached, a fierce glint flashed in his eyes. He clenched his fist and unleashed a burst of intense black light, striking the Bodhi Taoist in front of him.

hold head high!
The violent power transformed into a black dragon that burst forth from behind Bodhi Daoist, shattering the clouds behind him and leaving the sky cloudless.

A trace of golden blood trickled from the corner of Bodhi's mouth, his eyes filled with deep astonishment and confusion: "You...why?"

He asked himself, with his current understanding of Bodhi, the transformation was so perfect that it was indistinguishable from the real thing, how could it have been discovered in just one glance?

This power to overturn rivers and seas is the most suitable for this dragon, and it was something they had planned to teach it long ago, so as to maximize its racial talents and advantages.

But the violent power he had just experienced and the throbbing pain in his body told him that something seemed... not right.

But he had examined the stuff that Bodhi had taught him before, and it was all just ordinary little spells.

But this dragon...

Wait, what exactly did Bodhi teach him?

Ah Jiao stared at Bodhi in front of her and said coldly, "Because my master taught me something better, you imposter!"
