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

Chapter 481 Great Luo, Supreme One, Other Shore
Kunlun Mountains.

Jade Purity Sacred Realm.

The Heavenly Venerable of Primordial Beginning had long since stopped preparing special treatments for Yu Ding, but Yu Ding remained seated with his eyes closed, his expression serene, the Heavenly Origin Cauldron above his head radiating divine light, enveloping his entire body.

He emptied his mind at that moment, allowing himself to absorb everything the Primordial One had said, like a sponge.

This time, he finally understood the so-called Great Immortal.

According to his master, the Great Luo Dao fruit he had just attained was like a fruit growing on a tree, not yet ripe.

To allow the Great Luo Dao Fruit to mature, one must choose a Great Dao that is close to and in harmony with oneself, continuously imprinting the Dao principles onto the Dao Fruit to allow it to grow, while simultaneously severing the attachments of good and evil within the body, and using innate spiritual treasures to entrust the Three Corpses.

Once the three corpses are severed, the Dao Fruit matures and merges with the Great Dao. Then, by obtaining the legendary Primordial Purple Qi, one can attain the Primordial Dao Fruit.

That is, the so-called indestructible Heavenly Saint or... Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal.

The Three Corpses are easy to sever, and the Dao Fruit is easy to cultivate, but the Primordial Purple Qi is limited, and in the present prehistoric world, there is only one trace of it that has disappeared.

Therefore, in the primordial world, there were also a group of Great Luo Golden Immortals who had severed their three corpses and achieved perfect Dao fruition, but without the Primordial Purple Qi, they could not attain sainthood.

These Great Immortals possess great supernatural powers, boundless magical abilities, and immeasurable methods, hence they are also known as Quasi-Saints or Patriarch-level figures.

Legendary figures in this realm during the primordial era include: the Kunpeng Ancestor, who can be both a Kun and a Peng, and the Styx Ancestor, known as a master of imitation and a madman of enlightenment...

The number of the Dao begins with one, is established at three, is completed at five, flourishes at seven, and reaches its extreme at nine. Even the world at the beginning of creation was only ninety thousand miles wide. Therefore, when Hongjun, the ancestor of the immortal path, created the immortal path, he set four realms for the human path and five realms for the immortal path, in order to match the number nine.

The four stages of human existence are: refining essence, refining qi, refining spirit, and returning to emptiness.
The five realms of immortality are: True Immortal, Celestial Immortal, Golden Immortal, Great Luo Immortal, and Primordial Chaos Immortal!
Of course, this is the mainstream Great Luo Golden Immortal in the prehistoric world today, but his master, Yuanshi, pointed him in another direction.

If you were to ask why, it's probably because this direction coincides with his Nine Revolutions Divine Skill!
This approach does not involve eliminating the three corpses or conforming to the Great Dao; it only focuses on self-cultivation.

"Great Luo, to the One, the Other Shore..."

Yu Ding slowly opened his eyes, his gaze deep, vaguely revealing the illusion of starry rivers and the birth and death of the universe.

Da Luo means someone who has just attained the Da Luo Dao fruit;
The jade cauldrons of all time and space in the primordial era achieve a high degree of harmony and unity with the current realm, which is the ultimate unity;

Once one attains the unity of all things and achieves perfect enlightenment, one can travel between multiple worlds with a single thought, which is the other shore.

He truly gained so much from his master's sermon this time.

The key point... He looked up and saw that Yuanshi had closed his eyes, his face obscured by chaotic energy, making it difficult for him to see clearly.

Yu Ding lowered his head. His master was already at the top of the orthodox immortal path in the prehistoric world, so why was he being directed to another path, the Great Luo Path?

Is it better to innovate or...?

His own master didn't say anything, nor did he ask, because he understood that some things he could see from a higher perspective.

……

West Sea Dragon Palace.

Under Ao Run's gaze, the Turtle Prime Minister of the Western Sea hesitated to speak.

"What kind of look is that? And why are you sighing?"

Ao Run roared, "Tell me what happened at once!"

"What happened? Ha, isn't it all thanks to the Dragon King?" The West Sea Dragon Queen walked over and sneered.

She seemed still somewhat shaken, but her anger was burning fiercely, and her sarcasm was palpable.

Ao Run glanced at her, ignored her, and fixed his gaze on the Turtle Prime Minister, saying in a deep voice, "Ignore her, speak quickly!"

The Turtle Prime Minister glanced around, his expression somewhat unnatural, and said with a wry smile, "Just as the Dragon King said, while the Dragon King was in seclusion, our West Sea Dragon Palace suffered a terrible attack."

"Who did it? And who would dare to do such a thing?"

Ao Run was furious, but she tried her best to calm herself down: "The Western Religion? Or the Heavenly Court? Or the remnants of the Demon Court..."

He was aware that these were all forces that had attacked his Western Sea Dragon Clan, but he couldn't afford to offend any of them, so he had to play both sides.

The Turtle Prime Minister shook his head: "The Sea-Overturning Dragon!"

"Sea-covering dragon?"

Ao Run was taken aback: "Who is this Overturning Sea Dragon? Does such a person exist in the primordial world?"

The Dragon Queen's mockery deepened, and she sneered, "He is your son!"

Ao Run was furious and raised his hand to slap the Dragon Queen.

However, the Dragon Queen smiled coldly and showed no fear.

Remembering the power behind the Empress, Ao Run angrily flung his hand away and said, "Nonsense! Believe me or not, I will depose you from your position as Empress!"

The Turtle Prime Minister said cautiously, "Dragon King, what the Empress said is... correct. That Sea-Overturning Dragon does indeed claim to be your son, cough cough, your illegitimate child."

Ao Run: (;;)
The West Sea Dragon Queen sneered, "Go ahead and be useless, Ao Run. I don't want to be a Dragon Queen in name only for a day, but you've brought such a disaster to the West Sea Dragon Palace. I think your reign as Dragon King is probably over."

"Impossible! It absolutely cannot be my son."

Ao Run feigned composure and decisively rejected the idea.

"Do you think I believe you or not?" the Dragon Queen sneered.

“Uh…” Ao Run’s eyes flickered, and he quickly pointed to the ruins of the West Sea Dragon Clan and said, “Even my dearest son Moang couldn’t have turned my West Sea Dragon Palace into this state by one person. How could a mere dragon have done it? Where did it get such great supernatural power!”

"But..." The Dragon Queen wanted to say something more.

Ao Run raised his hand to interrupt, and snorted coldly: "What Fu Hai Jiao said is full of loopholes. In my opinion, there must be a conspiracy involved."

He gave the Turtle Prime Minister a deep look: "A huge conspiracy against my West Sea Dragon Palace. Turtle Prime Minister, immediately contact the other three Dragon Kings of the three seas to come here. This matter must not be left like this."

"Yes!" Prime Minister Turtle turned and left.

The Dragon Queen also tossed her skirts and headed towards a small palace where she could rest temporarily.

Ao Run quickly stepped forward and grabbed the Dragon Queen's hand, laughing, "Why are you being so petty? You must believe me, this bastard is definitely not my illegitimate child."

The Dragon Queen sneered, "How many lovers and illegitimate children do you have outside? Do you even remember them all?"

Ao Run was stunned for a moment, then quickly stepped forward and said with a smile, "My heart is filled with you alone, there is no room left for those irrelevant people."

The Dragon Queen raised an eyebrow and sneered, "Dragon King, your words are more eloquent than your singing, but I wonder how many women you've already sung them."

Ao Run said without blushing, "My dear wife, you don't need to doubt me. Of course, I'll tell you first."

The Dragon Queen was so angry she laughed: "You, with so many concubines besides me in the harem, don't you have enough? Why do you have to go out and steal food from outside?"

As they were talking, suddenly a deep drumbeat and a melodious bell rang out from afar.

These are the Golden Bells and Iron Drums, four sets in total, distributed among the Four Seas Dragon Palaces, serving as a rapid means of communication between them.

In case of emergency, if one bell and drum sound, the golden bells and iron drums in the other three places will also ring.

Ao Run pulled the Dragon Queen close with his strong arms and said, "You wretched demon! Not only did you destroy my Dragon Palace, but you also disturbed my beloved wife. This time, I swear to capture that Sea-Overturning Flood Dragon, skin it alive, and tear out its tendons to avenge you."

The Dragon Queen rolled her eyes at him: "Are you really willing to part with that? That's your son."

"He is not my son."

Ao Run said with some helplessness, "Yes, although I have several female confidantes, I would never father a dragon."

The Dragon Queen glanced at him, her face full of disbelief, as if Ao Run was shirking responsibility to appease the elders' questioning.

When Ao Run realized that he couldn't reason with him, his eyes burned with murderous intent: "Even if it is my own son who disturbed my beloved wife, I will not let him off the hook, let alone the evil child who impersonated my son and destroyed my West Sea Dragon Palace."

Looking around now, the West Sea Dragon Palace is a scene of devastation, with countless losses.

After the four branches of the dragon race were wiped out, each of them selected auspicious locations and used a lot of money and resources to build the Four Seas Dragon Palace.

Because they hadn't considered that the Dragon Palace would one day suffer such a calamity, they decorated it with extreme luxury, never expecting to suffer this misfortune.

Although the West Sea Dragon Palace has some resources, this is almost as much as rebuilding the entire Dragon Palace, so it will be a huge financial drain...

This also fueled his murderous intent; he vowed not to rest until he had killed that so-called Overturning Sea Dragon.

Not long after, the three Dragon Kings of the East Sea, the North Sea, and the South Sea arrived one after another.

"Brother, what calamity has befallen your West Sea Dragon Palace?" Ao Guang asked in surprise.

Even the other two Dragon Kings couldn't hide their shock on their faces.

Ao Run invited the three of them to sit down in the Crystal Palace.

This place has been cleared out; the palace has vanished, leaving only the crystal floor. At this moment, the Four Dragon Kings are holding discussions in this open-air Crystal Palace of the West Sea.

Ao Run sighed and said, "To be honest, brothers, I had to go out on business a few days ago. When I returned, I found that the West Sea had suffered such a great calamity. According to my men, it was a ferocious dragon that called itself the Overturning Sea Dragon that committed this crime."

"You mean... Fu Haijiao did it all by himself?"

Ao Guang, Ao Qin, and Ao Shun exchanged shocked glances. Although the East Sea Dragon Palace was the strongest among the Four Seas Dragon Palaces, the strength of the other Dragon Palaces was not that different.

The current state of the West Sea Dragon Palace could very well become the future of their own Dragon Palace, leaving them no choice but to be alarmed.

Ao Run nodded: "That's right!"

"What is the origin of this Sea-Overturning Dragon, that it is so powerful?" Ao Guang pondered.

Compared to his two brothers, Ao Qin and Ao Shun, he wasn't actually that scared; in fact, he felt quite at ease.

After all, his son was Ao Bing, who broke into the Demon Sealing Cave to save his father and participated in the great disturbance of Li Tianwang and his son... cough, Ao Bing!

Although I'm currently out there avoiding trouble, I've already written to him saying I'll be home soon.

Ao Run said with a grim expression, "Moang has fought with him. According to him, although this evil dragon is only at the Great Perfection of the True Immortal Realm, its skills are extremely formidable. Even Moang, who is at the same realm, could not last more than fifty rounds against it. I don't know where this beast cultivated its skills from."

“This…” Ao Qin and Ao Shun looked at each other in bewilderment.

Although Moang is young, he is one of the best among the younger generation of the Four Seas Dragon Clan. Yet, he couldn't even last fifty rounds against someone of the same level?

"Today, my West Sea Dragon Palace has been robbed, and I am unable to offer you a proper welcome. Please make do with yourselves here."

Ao Run said, "I have ordered the aquatic creatures of the Western Sea to track down this fellow. Once we find him, please help me subdue this wicked creature."

Ao Guang, Ao Qin, and Ao Shun nodded gently: "Okay!"

At this moment, in a remote corner of the West Sea, a stone palace on the seabed suddenly exploded, shattering into pieces and sending up countless grains of quicksand.

A figure rushed up, Ah Jiao's eyes filled with unrestrained joy.

The aura emanating from him at this moment was also somewhat different from before.

Master, I've ascended to the Heavenly Immortal realm... Ah Jiao, unable to contain his excitement, looked up to determine the direction.
Although he didn't get to fight that old lecherous dragon Arun, the rampage he caused in the West Sea Dragon Palace allowed him to vent his anger and successfully reach the Celestial Realm.

However, although his inner conflict has been resolved, the inner demons that left a deep psychological shadow on him have not yet been removed.

Ah Jiao's face darkened as the image of a woman in red appeared before him, causing him to clench his fists and grit his teeth.

He felt a dull ache in his body again.

He had heard of heroic deeds such as so-and-so splitting a mountain to save his mother and so-and-so saving his father.

But... Ah Jiao's gaze gradually turned cold. Not everyone in this world is qualified to be a parent.

Based on his past experiences, he sometimes felt that being abandoned after birth and left to fend for himself was an act of kindness.

"The Demon-Sealing Cave?!"

Ah Jiao transformed into a streak of black light and rushed towards the distance. He remembered that Chi Longteng had said that the woman seemed to be imprisoned in the Demon Sealing Cave in the West Sea.

"My house..."

Only after Ah Jiao had gone far away did a hermit crab demon kneel on the ground, clutching a fragment of the stone palace, overcome with grief.

The Demon Sealing Cave in the West Sea is almost identical to that in the East Sea.

Built on a volcano, guarded by five Heavenly Dragon Elders, and with a Demon-Suppressing Hall to suppress demons...

"Halt! This is a forbidden area of ​​the Western Sea Dragon Clan. Trespassers will be killed without mercy!"

When A Jiao rushed over, the elders noticed his presence and tried to stop him.

"roll!"

However, Ah Jiao's attitude was quite firm. He clenched his fist from a distance, and the intense black light gathered on his fist and exploded as he swung it out, transforming into a ferocious dragon hundreds of feet long that shook its head and tail as it pounced to kill.

"presumptuous!"

Several loud shouts came from the crater, followed by five-colored divine light. Five luminous dragon-shaped divine powers immediately soared into the air and fought with the flood dragon. However, in no time, the five dragons were torn apart by the flood dragon, their blood dripping, and they disappeared into light and shadow.

"what?"

The five elders were taken aback, but at that moment Ah Jiao had already stepped forward and transformed into his true form as a dragon. They had to follow suit and reveal their true forms to fight him.

However, some elders still sent a request for help to the West Sea Dragon Palace.

The Dragon Palace of the West Sea, an open-air crystal palace.

"Report! Your Majesty, traces of the Sea-Overturning Dragon have been discovered in the sea three thousand miles away."

A shrimp soldier reported: "After staying for only half a day, the Sea-Overturning Dragon left and its whereabouts are unknown."

Ao Run said in a deep voice, "Investigate again!"

The shrimp soldier turned and retreated.

"That wretched Sea-Overturning Dragon..."

Ao Run angrily slapped the right armrest of the dragon throne with its golden dragon design; the left one had already been smashed.

"Third brother, don't be anxious. No news is good news..." Ao Qin comforted him.

As they were talking, Ao Run's expression suddenly changed. He took out a bead from his sleeve, and the bead began to glow, revealing the scene of the Demon Sealing Cave.

The black dragon was extremely ferocious, fighting fiercely with the five heavenly dragons, and even managed to gain the upper hand and suppress the five elders.

"Damn it, this wicked creature's target is the Demon Sealing Cave!"

Upon seeing this scene, the Four Dragon Kings' expressions changed drastically, especially Ao Run, who felt a sudden chill rush to his head.

"Quickly, let's go to the Demon Sealing Cave!" Ao Qin shouted.

Ao Guang shook his head with a grim expression: "It's too late."

The dragon had already torn the five divine dragons apart, leaving them covered in blood, scales flying off, and flesh and blood flying everywhere. However, the black dragon's body was exceptionally tough, and the damage inflicted by the five divine dragons was extremely limited.

Finally, with a long roar from the black dragon, black water transformed into a water prison, suppressing the five divine dragons.

Ah Jiao then transformed into human form, raised his hand towards the water prison, and five tokens immediately flew out.

Seeing this, Ao Run gritted his teeth, took out a string of prayer beads, and infused them with his magic power. Instantly, the prayer beads lit up with golden runes.

Ao Guang asked, "Third brother, do you still have contact with the Western Religion?"

"The situation is urgent, and it's beyond our control now."

Ao Run said with a grim expression, "You all know what's sealed at the bottom of the Demon Sealing Cave. If those ghostly things inside were to escape, who would be able to handle the situation?"

Ao Guang seemed to be deep in thought, then took out a jade tablet, walked to the side, infused it with magic power, and began to summon people.

It's just finding help, it's no big deal, you make it sound like it's so difficult.

Things are different now. Ao Guang has also built up a network of connections, and quite a powerful one at that.

The Dragon Kings of the South Sea, Ao Qin and the North Sea, Ao Shun, looked at Ao Run and then at Ao Guang beside him. After exchanging a glance, the two dragon kings fell into deep thought.

"Hello, who is it?"

Before long, a lazy voice rang out from Ao Guang's jade tablet.

Ao Guang quickly explained the situation.

"The Demon-Sealing Cave?"

Upon hearing the location, the person on the other end visibly perked up: "Okay, I'll be right there!"

"May I invite the Immortal Taiyi and Uncle Jiu?"

"No need, I am enough on my own!"

After hanging up, Ao Guang came over. Although he had some doubts, the panic on his face was gone.

Ao Qin, Ao Shun, and even Ao Run, who had called for help, were all stunned. No, so fast?
"Is this Fellow Daoist Ao Run?"

At that moment, a voice came from the prayer beads in Ao Run's hand.

"It's me, it's me, Immortal! The Western Sea is in deep trouble..."

Ao Run quickly agreed and explained the situation to the prayer beads.

"Brother, what is that thing of yours? How can it be so fast?" Ao Shun asked curiously.

Ao Guang said smugly, "Send a message to the Jade Tablet!"

Ao Qin then asked, "So, brother, who did you ask for help?"

Ao Guang smiled slightly and kept everyone in suspense: "Guess!"

Perfect timing! There are still some things that Immortal Jade Cauldron needs in the Demon Sealing Hall.

P.S.: Happy Mid-Autumn Festival everyone! Remember to eat mooncakes!
