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

Chapter 483 Brother Fuhai Jiao, I'm here to help you

Seeing that Yu Dingshi still refused, Taibai Jinxing could only sigh with regret.

"Taibai, why bother?"

As Yu Ding rode the clouds with Taibai Jinxing towards the Western Sea, he laughed and said, "I've already said that once this matter is settled, I will help you find a suitable candidate for Heavenly Emperor."

"Who could be more suitable than the Jade Cauldron Immortal?" Venus sighed.

Then he began to ramble on about things in Heaven.

When the previous Jade Emperor was the Heavenly Emperor, he acted in a proper and orderly manner. If the Heavenly Court had been prosperous, there would have been nothing wrong with that.

But at that time, the prehistoric world had just experienced the war between the Lich King and the Demon King, and everything was in ruins. It needed the guidance of the new Heavenly Court to rebuild the old land and establish the image and prestige of the Heavenly Court.

But who would have thought that the Heavenly Emperor designated by the Dao Ancestor would be like that?

If you want to find fault with that Heavenly Emperor, yes, he likes to go fishing and leaves early after court, but he goes to and from court in an orderly manner, there's nothing wrong with that!

During his court sessions, he diligently handled matters reported from the Primordial World, the Three Thousand Great Worlds, the Middle World, and the Small Worlds, never slacking off or missing a single day.

But to say there's nothing wrong with it... that's not quite right either.

Leaving aside the middle and small worlds, the affairs of the prehistoric world plus the three thousand great worlds alone cannot be handled during court sessions.

However, that Heavenly Emperor insisted on ending the court session at the appointed time, never delaying, even if a court meeting was in progress at that time.

You didn't finish this morning? We'll continue this afternoon!

If we didn't finish this afternoon, we'll continue tomorrow...

"No, the Heavenly Emperor is busy with countless affairs every day. If the Heavenly Emperor has to do everything, then what is the point of having you?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Ding, who had been a victim of the 996 work schedule in his previous life, had to speak up and give a thumbs up to the Jade Emperor.

Taibai said quietly, "Is it that we don't want to do it? It's that the Heavenly Emperor himself can't finish it, and he doesn't even allow us, his subjects, to handle it. Who knows how much of that stuff has accumulated by now?"

Beautiful… Yu Ding’s eyes lit up after hearing this, but he said in a deep voice, “How could the Heavenly Emperor do this? This is too irresponsible.”

Ordinary emperors are only protecting their own empires. When problems arise, they will have their ministers work overtime to handle them without the ministers even having to bring them up.

But then again, this Heavenly Court isn't your property, is it?

Venus sighed, "These unresolved matters have accumulated day by day and year by year, and now I don't know how many are left."

"so……"

Yu Ding suddenly said, "Mortals may say they are unable to be in two places at once, but why don't you and the Heavenly Emperor use yourselves to handle affairs?"

Upon hearing this, Venus, who had been making sarcastic remarks, was visibly taken aback.

He pondered for a moment, then thought of a reason to refute it. However, before he could speak, Yu Ding analyzed, "Is it because the consciousness of the clones is shared, making it difficult to multitask and handle complex matters?"

Venus was unable to speak.

Yu Ding smiled and said, "Then you can cultivate the method of external incarnation. In your positions, you should perform your duties. There will inevitably be difficulties in the work of the Heavenly Court, but you should use your brains more. There are always more solutions than problems, right?"

Upon hearing this, Venus was immediately rendered speechless.

However, he wasn't angry. On the contrary, his eyes grew brighter as he looked at Yu Ding's back, and he even showed excitement.

To even come up with such a method, this Jade Cauldron Immortal is simply a born talent to challenge the Heavenly Emperor!

To be honest, even if his old boss were reincarnated and wanted to become the Heavenly Emperor again, he would still want to vote for Jade Cauldron Immortal.

As he pondered, Yu Ding suddenly turned around and looked at him with a deep gaze, as if he could see through his thoughts, which made Taibai Jinxing's heart skip a beat.

"I'm offering this advice out of kindness, but Taibai, please don't cause me any trouble," Yu Ding said.

"No, no!" Taibai chuckled dryly and changed the subject, "By the way, why did you travel so fast just now, Immortal? There are rumors that you have suffered a calamity and lost your cultivation."

At this point, he looked at the jade cauldron with some surprise.

"My magical power has recovered somewhat, but because of this calamity, my master Yuanshi specially taught me a divine power called the Soaring Step of the Void. It consumes little energy and is fast, making it convenient for traveling." Yu Ding made up a lie without hesitation.

In his moment of talking, he forgot to control his speed, thankfully there were no speeding checks in this prehistoric place.

Venus seemed to be thinking, "Losing your magic power is indeed quite painful, Jade Cauldron Immortal, are you really not going to reconsider?"

Yu Ding chuckled and said, "Tai Bai, this humble Taoist is truly unsuitable for that position. Come, ride the cloud, this humble Taoist is a little tired and needs a rest."

The two immediately took over, and Yu Ding sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, ending his conversation with Venus.

To put it bluntly, the Heavenly Court is no different from a company. The Dao Ancestor is the chairman of the board, the Three Pure Ones are directors, and the Heavenly Emperor is just the general manager who is an employee. The company he governs is the entire prehistoric world.

He guessed that Haotian probably realized this as well, so he separated his work and hobbies so that they would not interfere with each other.

As expected of Brother Haotian… Yu Ding suddenly felt a bit of admiration for that fisherman; his level of thinking was many years ahead of his.

……

West Sea, Sealed Demon Cave area!

The weather here had already changed; dark clouds covered the sky, lightning flashed and thunder roared, waves surged on the sea, and a torrential storm was about to break out.

On the seabed, on a volcano.

"The Demon Suppression Hall?"

Ah Jiao held five tokens and looked ahead. In the center of the crater, a magnificent palace radiated five-colored divine light, rising and falling, suppressing all the surging, malevolent energy.

On the five sides of the main hall, there are five divine chains made of divine iron locked at the top of the hall, originally guarded by the five elders.

It seems that this is to prevent the evil energy below from being unable to be suppressed by this treasure hall and being blown away... Ah Jiao's eyes flashed, and there was another layer of barrier outside the Demon Suppression Treasure Hall.

Ah Jiao seemed to be deep in thought. He raised his hand and pressed it on the barrier. The transparent barrier began to glow, and streams of five-colored light shot up, transforming into dragon-shaped characters before his eyes.

Ah Jiao looked down at the token in his hand, then at the words in front of him, and suddenly noticed that there was a pentagonal array on the door of the palace inside the barrier, with five grooves that matched the token.

After a moment's thought, he raised his hand and tried pressing a random character.

That word immediately flew out on its own.

Ah Jiao seemed to be deep in thought, and then pressed a few more words in succession. Soon, five words flew out, formed a row, and landed on the barrier.

Just as he was expecting something, the time curtain suddenly lit up red.

Damn it… Ah Jiao cursed under his breath, his face darkening as he gripped the token tightly in his hand before turning and leaving.

He returned shortly afterward, carrying with him the five elders who were weak, pale, and clearly seriously injured.

What is the secret code?

His gaze swept over the five elders one by one, and he saw that all of them looked like they would rather die than submit.

"That's tough. I admire tough guys the most."

Ah Jiao's face turned cold. He raised his hand and grabbed, and the five elders were suddenly stunned. They saw a trickle of water flowing from their eyes, ears, mouths, noses, and other orifices.

Each drop is crystal clear, pure and sacred, carrying an indescribable vitality.

"This……"

The five elders' faces immediately turned pale, as they clearly felt their life force and lifespan being drained away.

"You still won't tell me how to get into the Demon Sealing Cave, huh? Well then, I won't be polite with these Waters of Life," Ah Jiao said.

The elder with the red dragon mask suddenly asked, "You want to enter the Demon Sealing Cave?"

The other elders also looked over in surprise.

Entering the Demon-Sealing Cave and opening the Demon-Sealing Cave are two completely different concepts.

Entering is a solitary act. Opening the Demon-Sealing Cave means releasing the countless ferocious demons suppressed within, which would be a catastrophe.

Ah Jiao snorted, "I'm going in to find someone, are you going to tell me or not?" The Crimson Dragon Masked Elder suddenly said, "You won't find out!"

The other four elders' expressions changed slightly, but they didn't say anything.

Ah Jiao sneered as she approached the group, saying, "Fine, fine, you're all stubborn enough. Luckily, I know a little about the Soul Searching Technique..."

The elder in the white dragon mask grew anxious and said, "He already said you can't find out! You can't find out!"

The other elders nodded in agreement: "You'd better not find out."

Ah Jiao suddenly stopped in her tracks, staring at the elders whose words and actions didn't match, and said, "The secret code is...you can't possibly find out?"

The elders all lowered their heads in shame and nodded slightly, waiting for A-Jiao to decipher the secret and enter the barrier.

They guarded the Demon-Sealing Cave, prepared to pay with their lives, and they originally thought they were not afraid of death.

But just now, when they clearly felt their life being slowly pulled out of their bodies, they suddenly realized that they weren't as strong as they had imagined!
They waited for a while but didn't hear the sound of the barrier opening. They looked up in surprise and saw Ah Jiao pinching his chin and frowning as he stared at the words.

The elders exchanged glances, their expressions filled with doubt. They all knew the secret code, so why weren't they going in to check?
Then they saw the ferocious demonic dragon turn around, its expression slightly unnatural, and say, "Um...where are these words?"

Elder Wulong: Σ(°△°|||)？ ？ ？

"You don't understand the Dragon Clan's language?" the elder in the black dragon mask asked in surprise.

Seeing the astonished looks on the elders' faces, Ah Jiao stubbornly said, "I understand! Of course I understand. Stop talking nonsense and tell me quickly."

The elders exchanged strange glances. Under their guidance, Ah Jiao quickly found the words and typed them in. With a hum, the barrier automatically dispelled and opened.

Ah Jiao was overjoyed and flew forward to the Demon Suppression Hall, where he raised his hand and embedded a token.

"You beast, don't even think about opening the Demon-Sealing Cave!"

With a furious shout, a powerful magical hand reached out to grab Ah Jiao.

"roll!"

Ah Jiao roared, unleashing a sonic shockwave that forced the giant hand backward, but four terrifying auras had already arrived.

He tried to embed the remaining tokens, but it was too late. Looking up, he saw four figures with dragon heads and human bodies, wearing crowns and dragon robes.

Among them, a black-haired dragon king stared at him with murderous intent.

"Four Dragon Kings of the Seas, are you Ao Run?"

Ah Jiao immediately fixed her gaze on the black-haired, black-robed figure, her body began to tremble, and her killing intent was fully revealed.

Ao Run roared, "You wicked beast! You impersonated my son, destroyed my West Sea Dragon Palace, and tarnished my reputation! How could I possibly forgive you?! Prepare to die!"

Just as he was about to step forward, Ao Guang raised his hand to stop him, shaking his head and saying, "It's not too late to make your move after we've explained ourselves!"

"Impersonating someone? Ruining your reputation? Do you even have a reputation left?"

Ah Jiao laughed maniacally, "If you hadn't deceived that woman with your body, how could I exist, and how could I have suffered such misfortune?"

Ao Run was taken aback, then coughed and said, "Who is that woman? Explain yourself."

Ao Guang, Ao Qin, and Ao Shun looked at Ao Run with a deep gaze.

Ah Jiao sneered, "You've already thrown her into this Demon-Sealing Cave, do you really have no recollection of her?"

Ao Run paused for a moment, then pondered, "You mean...?"

Suddenly, everyone, including him, Ao Guang, and A Jiao, changed their expressions instantly, their scales bristling as they sensed being targeted by some terrifying being.

They looked up, their gaze piercing through the layers of seawater, and saw a golden divine bird rushing into the sea and transforming into a young man in golden robes.

Ah Jiao, Ao Guang, and the others were all on high alert, sensing a deep sense of danger.

"Wow, the West Sea is so lively today!"

The young man smiled and looked at Ah Jiao: "Brother Fu Hai Jiao, I'm here to help you!"

Ao Run's eyes instantly reddened as he looked at the young man: "Peng Demon King, you feathered beast, give me back my son's life!"

He tried to rush forward, but was held back by Ao Guang and the others.

Peng Demon King... Ah Jiao looked at this handsome and powerful young man who had suddenly appeared with some surprise.

He had indeed heard that the second prince of the West Sea Dragon Palace had been eaten by a golden-winged roc. He never expected to meet him here today, but he didn't know whether the roc was friend or foe.

Fei Peng's smile suddenly turned cold: "If I repay your son's life, then who will repay my parents' lives?"

A powerful aura was released, causing Ao Guang and the other three to stagger backward, their expressions filled with horror. Even Ao Run, who had been blinded by rage, regained his composure.

Ao Run stared intently at Fei Peng and exclaimed in shock, "Golden Immortal!"

Fei Peng ignored them and smiled at A Jiao, "You don't need to be nervous or wary of me. I'm here to help you today, so we're friends, not enemies. You can do whatever you want. I'll hold off these old mudskippers for you."

Ah Jiao asked warily, "Why are you helping me?"

Fei Peng laughed loudly, "Because we are friends, and the enemy of an enemy is a friend. Is that reason enough?"

Ah Jiao grinned: "Okay, I've decided to be your friend."

He immediately turned around and began embedding the remaining tokens. With a loud bang, the Demon Suppression Hall opened, and a burst of blazing five-colored divine light surged out.

At that very moment, the terrifying being within the Demon-Sealing Cave seemed to sense something, unleashing a torrent of demonic energy, ferocity, and malevolence that lifted the Demon-Suppressing Hall, causing the five chains to taut instantly.

"Please guard this passage for me and don't close it before I come out," Ah Jiao said.

"Oh no! Stop him! We can't let him open the Demon-Sealing Cave and release what's inside!" Ao Run exclaimed anxiously.

Just as they were about to step forward, Fei Peng raised his hand as if it were a knife, and suddenly cleaved down a golden divine light, cutting through the seawater and blocking their path.

"no problem!"

Fei Peng looked at Ao Guang and the others and sneered, "Back then, I was grateful for the care you provided with the Five Lakes and Four Seas Hunt Order. I remember that kindness very well."

Inside the Demon Sealing Cave, Ah Jiao vanished from the hall in a flash, teleported to the Demon Sealing World below.

Ao Guang said urgently, "The things sealed under this Demon Sealing Cave are all fierce gods and evil spirits. Quickly close the passage."

Before the words were even finished, beams of malevolent light shot out from the Demon Suppression Hall.

"Damn it!" Ao Guang and the others' expressions changed drastically, and they began to kill the demons that rushed out.

The demons that initially emerged were weak to them, but their numbers were simply too great, and they continued to pour out in ever-growing numbers.

"These are just scouts; something far more terrifying is yet to come."

Ao Guang looked grim. Having entered the East Sea Demon-Sealing Cave, he knew far more about the situation inside than his nine brothers.

Chi Chi!
Just as they were getting anxious, Fei Peng raised his hand and pointed out. Instantly, beams of golden divine light shot out from his fingertips, numbering in the thousands. The demons that encountered it were like ice and snow being illuminated by the sun, instantly melting away and turning to ashes.

Ao Guang and the others were slightly taken aback.

“Since I promised to guard the passage until he returns, I will not let you close it under any circumstances,” Fei Peng said.

Even as they were talking, a steady stream of demons continued to pour out from within.

Ao Qin said urgently, "The passage is guarded by that Peng Demon King and cannot be closed. What should we do?"

The other brothers were also at a loss.

"Immortal Jade Cauldron, why are you so slow this time..." Ao Guang was extremely anxious and frustrated. "Hurry up and subdue this Roc Demon King!"

Although traveling from Yuquan Mountain to the West Sea is equivalent to crossing most of the prehistoric world, it is indeed not a short distance!

P.S.: It's too late to finish writing this. I'll correct any typos and grammatical errors after I wake up. Please point them out if you find any. Good night!
