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

Chapter 486 It's alright, Master is here!
Maitreya and Jin Chanzi had already seen who it was.

Jin Chanzi's expression turned slightly somber. They had originally planned to wait until Ao Run and the others could no longer hold out before taking action to eliminate the threat of the Demon-Sealing Cave in the West Sea.
This way, the favor is maximized. In addition, the West Sea is adjacent to the West and is closer to the West than the Heavenly Court. With this favor, how can the West Sea Dragon Clan not side with the West?

Subduing the Western Sea Dragon Clan is also an important part of the Western Expansion Strategy. Dragons are born sacred and possess magical power, which can be directly used to temporarily alleviate the problems of the Western followers.

Once they have learned the Western teachings, they can spread the word throughout the heavens, increase their followers, and gather faith, so that they can also fulfill their vows to the heavens.

Who would have thought that the arrival of these two uninvited guests would disrupt their plans?

If they hadn't sensed that someone else was coming this way, and if it hadn't been inappropriate for them not to go out, they would have definitely waited longer.

Maitreya bowed and said, "This humble Taoist greets Brother Yuding. It has been a long time since we last parted ways in the Western Sea."

He was none other than Master Yuding… Jin Chanzi, who was originally displeased, smiled upon hearing this name and said, “This humble Taoist, Jin Chanzi, greets Brother Yuding!”

As he spoke, he looked the jade cauldron up and down.

Although the disciples were vying for followers in the outer world, in the prehistoric world, the three Eastern religions were of the same lineage and too powerful, so they had not yet formally fought for anything.

Although they never fought, the names of the Twelve Immortals of Jade Void of the Chan Sect were known throughout the prehistoric world, and he was quite famous.

"A few days ago, there were rumors that Jade Cauldron Immortal had been robbed and his magical power was greatly damaged. Now that he looks weak, it doesn't seem to be false," Jin Chanzi thought to himself.

“Fellow Daoist Maitreya, you are mistaken. I am the True Man Taiyi.”

Yu Ding smiled faintly, then looked at him strangely and asked, "Jin Chanzi?"

Isn't that just Tang Sanzang's reincarnation? Ugh, isn't he Tang Sanzang after his reincarnation?

To be honest, Jin Chanzi was quite good-looking. He was handsome, with red lips and white teeth, holding a string of prayer beads, and had a dot of cinnabar between his eyebrows. At this moment, he also had a kind smile on his face.

He had met Marshal Tianpeng and General Juanlian before, and now he had even seen Tang Sanzang's past life.

So it seems like the only thing missing from the pilgrimage group is the monkey.

Unfortunately, when his clone went to the coast of the East China Sea to search for Flower Fruit Mountain last time, he encountered Yunxiao on the way, which interrupted his plans.

Journey to the West, Journey to the West... Yu Ding pondered, "The Investiture of the Gods calamity is not even over yet, and Journey to the West is already being prepared?"
"Why is Master Yuding looking at me like that?"

Yu Ding's strange gaze left Jin Chanzi somewhat bewildered.

Ao Qin, Ao Run, and Ao Shun looked at Yu Ding and then at Ao Bing, asking with astonishment, "Bing'er, is Immortal Yu Ding your master?"

Ao Bing laughed and said, "That's right, Master!"

He waved to the jade cauldron.

Yu Ding looked up in Ao Bing's direction, then his gaze passed through Ao Bing and fell on the flying roc behind him slaying the demon. He smiled and nodded.

On the crater, Fei Peng also noticed the Taoist priest in the jade cauldron, and a look of joy flashed in his eyes.

He not only possesses terrifying speed, but also extremely keen eyesight and perception; he had previously felt as if he were being spied on.

This is why he deliberately created a vacuum by fighting Ao Bing, forming a barrier to reveal his identity.

The appearance of Maitreya had indeed made him nervous, but he immediately felt at ease when the jade cauldron appeared.

At this moment, his sharp-eyed father, Ao Guang, was overjoyed and stepped forward to greet him, saying, "Little Dragon greets the Immortal. Oh, Venus is here too. Greetings, greetings."

Ao Qin and Ao Shun exchanged a glance and quickly followed to pay their respects.

Ao Run followed along somewhat awkwardly, having been warned by Yu Ding once before when Maitreya helped Xihai.

I never expected to run into this again.

However… Ao Run’s eyes flashed as he recalled the rumors of the Jade Cauldron’s treachery. He then sensed that the fluctuations in magical power were indeed not strong, and immediately felt relieved.

"Little Dragon greets the Jade Cauldron Immortal, Taibai!"

After bowing to the group, Ao Run went to Maitreya and the other person and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Great Immortal Maitreya, and Immortal Jin Chanzi!"

"This third brother... he's clueless!" Ao Guang shook his head inwardly at Ao Run's behavior.

After the Demon Court collapsed and the new Heavenly Court was established, the Dragon Clan of the Four Seas naturally submitted to the Heavenly Court.

The three brothers were a little better off, but the youngest one was close to the West. No one knew what kind of nonsense the West had taught him, but he was always exchanging glances with both sides.

Normally it would be fine, but today is different. Venus, the planet of the Heavenly Court, is here. What kind of talk is this?

Sure enough, Venus was still smiling, but a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes.

"The Heavenly Court noticed the unusual activity in the Western Sea and sent me here to investigate. How did the Demon Suppression Hall get opened?" Taibai Jinxing said.

Ao Run then quickly recounted how the Sea-Overturning Dragon had wreaked havoc in the West Sea, destroyed the Dragon Palace, and opened the Demon-Suppressing Hall, releasing evil spirits.

Finally, he added, "This wicked beast is in cahoots with that Sea-Overturning Flood Dragon. He not only wreaked havoc in my Western Sea before, but he has come again now. I implore all the immortals to take action and subdue this demon."

"Alright, I will take action and capture him."

Jin Chanzi had already intended this, and upon hearing this, he moved first, flashing forward and smiling, "Fellow Daoist, this humble Daoist greets you."

Fei Peng's expression turned cold: "Get out!"

Back then, he was being chased around by Maitreya, so naturally he didn't have a good impression of the Western Sect.

Jin Chanzi laughed and said, "I see that you have some wisdom, but unfortunately your demonic nature is too strong. If you don't get rid of your demonic heart, you will not be able to achieve the Great Dao. Why don't you become my disciple and let me help you eliminate your demonic nature?"

"Did they try to poach my talent right in front of me?" Yu Ding was about to say a few words when his expression suddenly changed slightly. A loud 'thud' came from inside the Demon Sealing Cave.

Maitreya's expression also changed, and he looked in that direction as well. He saw that the fierce, evil, demonic, and malevolent auras below the Demon Suppression Hall were surging together, arching the Demon Suppression Hall up, and the five divine chains forged from divine metal were stretched straight, radiating divine light.

The Demon Suppression Hall also shone with divine light, its power unleashed to suppress what lay beneath.

But with a deafening tremor, the five metal chains snapped, and the Demon Suppression Hall could no longer suppress the endless surge of evil, demonic, and malevolent energy below, and was thrown out.

Boom——

The overwhelming darkness formed by the malevolent, demonic, fierce, and evil aura erupted like a volcanic eruption, carrying countless evil spirits and fierce demons out of the crater and spreading in all directions, covering the entire sea area.

Within that dark and overwhelming aura, a gigantic beast slowly took shape before Fei Peng and Jin Chanzi.

Suddenly, a tear was pulled open in Yu Ding's sleeve, and Qiongqi, only the size of a rabbit, peered out from the opening, exclaiming in surprise, "It's the aura of chaos!"

"Chaos?" Yu Ding's expression darkened. Qiongqi nodded, his expression also grave: "That's right, it's its aura, definitely not wrong, hiss... its power has recovered?"

Yu Ding remained silent, pondering. The chaos that Qiongqi spoke of was undoubtedly one of the Four Fiends.

Everything in this world is governed by the principle of yin and yang balance. Just as there are four auspicious celestial creatures representing good fortune, there are also corresponding entities.

Those are the Four Fiends!
Relying on their immortal primordial spirits, the four evil spirits remained lawless even in an era when the demon race ruled the heavens and the witch race governed the earth. In the end, they angered both sides, were captured, and sealed away.

"So, these four Demon-Sealing Caves were actually built by the demon race to suppress the Four Fiends?"

Yu Ding seemed to be deep in thought. As for the other demons and ferocious beasts imprisoned there, they could only be considered incidental.

"We were weakened when we were suppressed, but Chaos doesn't seem to have been... or did it recover?" Qiongqi asked, puzzled.

Yu Ding nodded slightly. The Four Heavenly Spirits were basically equivalent to Great Luo Golden Immortals, and the Four Fiends, as a balance between them, were certainly not too bad.

These four ferocious beasts are not invincible; it's just that their primordial spirits are indestructible. Even if their physical bodies are destroyed, they will find new bodies to be reborn.

For example, Qiongqi possessed the son of Emperor Shaohao of the human race after suffering a calamity, Taowu possessed the son of Emperor Zhuanxu, Taotie possessed the son of Jinyun, and Chaos possessed the son of Emperor Hong.

Qiongqi stared at the black mist, its eyes flickering, seemingly lost in thought.

Yu Ding said calmly, "I advise you not to have any improper thoughts, otherwise you should be prepared to give up this body and cultivation and find another physical body."

Qiongqi had no choice but to slowly shrink back into its sleeve.

"Roar!"

The being in the darkness suddenly let out a beastly roar, and a terrifying shockwave emanated from it. Fei Peng and Jin Chanzi both groaned, coughing up blood, and were sent flying backward, utterly powerless to fight back.

Maitreya immediately radiated golden light, took a step forward, his figure grew and his body began to transform into pure gold. When he took a step, he had already transformed into a sixteen-foot-tall man and raised his hand to catch the Golden Cicada.

The dark, malevolent aura surged forth, instantly unleashing countless beams that hurtled towards Maitreya, but before they could even reach him, they were dissolved in the boundless golden light.

But Maitreya could no longer laugh. Besides the chaos, there were also suppressed evil gods and demons escaping and going in all directions.

How many exactly? Thousands? Tens of thousands? Hundreds of thousands? Or hundreds of millions?

There were simply too many for him to count, and more importantly, the power of this chaos had exceeded his expectations.

It would be a terrible sin for these demons to escape into the world.

"Oh no!" The Four Dragon Kings were terrified by the fierce aura, and even Ao Guang was greatly shaken.

He realized he had miscalculated; the Western Sea Demon-Sealing Cave only suppressed one ferocious beast, but it was also more powerful than ever before.

They are simply incomparable to the nine-headed lions of the East Sea and Qiongqi.

As Feipeng was backing away, he suddenly felt an invisible force supporting him. After regaining his balance, he looked at Yu Ding without daring to meet his eyes and said guiltily, "Master, I think I've caused trouble!"

Be more confident, remove the "seems" part... Yu Ding glared at him irritably, wanting to curse him, but ultimately didn't.

After all, Xiao Fei was helping Fu Hai Jiao, and he was there to settle things for Fu Hai Jiao.

Yu Ding's expression immediately turned serious as he looked at the fleeing demons and transmitted his voice, "It's alright, Master is here!"

As he spoke, a thought flashed through his mind, and a small tower immediately burst forth from his body. Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the small tower was incomplete.

It has only five floors, and the five floors are not adjacent to each other; they are simply constructed into the shape of a small tower by magic.

hum!
The five-story pagoda was summoned by the jade cauldron, and after flying into the air, it disintegrated into five pieces, with three stories flying into the hands of Ao Bing, Xiao Fei, and Jin Chanzi.

Jin Chanzi stared in astonishment at the crystal-clear tower in his hand, never expecting that one of these items would end up in his possession.

No, how come the Roc Demon King also has one?

"I don't care about your grudges, but if these demons escape and wreak havoc on the world, everyone here will share the blame."

Yu Ding glanced at Jin Chanzi and said, "This treasure of mine can capture evil spirits, so don't be idle, go and collect all those evil spirits."

As he spoke, he manipulated another layer of the tower to unleash a five-colored divine light, which then flew out and was displayed. A large number of demons that were swept by the divine light of the tower were swallowed up by that layer of the tower like shrimp being devoured by a whale.

This layer was left by him for display purposes, and another layer was left by Yu Ding.

Because this tower is filled to the brim with demons from the East Sea Demon-Sealing Cave.

In an instant, the demons were thrown into chaos, scattering and cursing incessantly.

Maitreya, who was confronting Chaos, looked on in surprise upon hearing the sound.

Yu Ding said, "Fellow Daoist Maitreya, don't be distracted. If it doesn't work, take this Chaos Crossing to the West. We'll leave these little demons to us."

Maitreya: (_)

These four ferocious beasts are simply untamable beings, and are troublemakers in the world. Even if they are subdued, they cannot be killed!

Think about it, even the Demon Court couldn't make them work for them after capturing them, and could only suppress them. What would he do if he captured them and took them to the West? Make a scene on Mount Sumeru?

When they saw the jade cauldron being demonstrated, Ao Bing, Xiao Fei, and Jin Chanzi's eyes lit up.

The three immediately sprang into action, flying in three directions, charging left and right, and capturing the demons in front of them one by one into the tower.

"What a wonderful treasure!" Jin Chanzi exclaimed.

Although the West Sea Demon-Sealing Cave had a large number of demons, the four-story tower was like a bottomless pit, unable to hold them all. It charged left and right, suppressing countless demons and quickly clearing out a large area.

Ao Guang and the other Dragon Kings of the Four Seas, who had been holding their heads in their hands and feeling like they were about to collapse, immediately showed joy upon seeing this scene.

Yu Ding smiled and secretly activated the two-story tower beside him. With a loud rumble, a commotion came from not far away. The Demon Suppression Hall, which had been blown away and crashed into the seabed, seemed to be summoned and flew up, its light blazing brightly.

Immediately afterwards, the Demon-Suppressing Hall emitted a five-colored divine light and came to the side of the jade cauldron.

"How is this going?"

Ao Run asked in surprise, "How could the Demon Suppression Hall of my Western Sea... how could it end up next to Jade Cauldron Immortal?"

Before the words were finished, the Demon Suppression Hall collapsed with a crash, finally revealing the central layer of the crystal tower, which emitted a five-colored divine light and flew to the side of the jade cauldron.

Ao Guang corrected him, "What do you mean, the Demon-Suppressing Hall of your Western Sea? You should ask who put the Jade Cauldron Immortal's treasure in your Western Sea."

Ao Run: "..."
