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

Chapter 493 Your Highness is too generous (Happy National Day)
This little dragon cub... Seeing that Ao Bing was not afraid of his punishment but rather happy, Yu Ding's mind stirred and he said, "Come here, I will tell you how to get to Yuquan Mountain."

Ao Bing happily stepped forward to listen to Yu Ding describe the route, diligently taking notes.

Yu Ding smiled and said, "After you arrive, go directly to the back mountain to reflect on your mistakes. There is a celestial spring there, which is the location of my Jade Spring Dharma lineage. You must guard it well for us. There is also Qingyun on the mountain, who is both my disciple and my apprentice. You two must get along well."

“Qingyun…” Ao Bing memorized the name again.

Then, Yu Ding and Taibai Jinxing were sent outside the Dragon Palace by Ao Guang, Ao Qin, the Great Dragon Girl Ao Bing, and others.

"Please don't bother seeing me off any further. Farewell!"

Yu Ding and Taibai Jinxing smiled and said goodbye, transforming into two golden beams of light that suddenly shot up towards the sea.

"Father, I'm going to Jade Spring Mountain too."

Ao Bing bid farewell to Ao Guang, then transformed into a beam of white light and soared into the distance.

"Has the cultivation of Immortal Jade Cauldron truly been thwarted?" Ao Qin murmured.

The key question is, which immortal, after suffering a calamity and greatly diminishing their magical power, could still easily defeat the Taotie, one of the Four Fiends, with a single punch? Unheard of!
Ao Guang said, "Didn't the Jade Cauldron Immortal say that although he suffered a calamity, his immortal body, after cultivation, still possessed divine power?"

"No, you really believe that? I don't believe it!" Ao Qin stared at Ao Guang. "By the way, when did your East Sea get involved with the Jade Void Palace?"

Ao Guang coughed and said, "That's a long story. Didn't you... um, make contact with the South China Sea today?"

Ao Qin was taken aback, and then saw Ao Guang raise his chin at the bewildered South Sea Dragon Girl.

Ao Qin and his daughter exchanged a bewildered glance: "What thread? When was it connected?"

Ao Guang rolled his eyes and said, "Although Immortal Yu Ding didn't take your daughter as his disciple, he did give her some pointers, right? He seemed to be in a good mood when he was giving her pointers, which means that the Immortal doesn't dislike her and even thinks highly of her. Once your niece has mastered some skills, you can bring her and some gifts to thank him and give him some more pointers. After a while... you know what I mean?"

After listening to the analysis, Ao Qin suddenly understood and was convinced. He pondered for a moment and said, "So we should join the Jade Void Palace?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Don't be like the third brother, so clueless. He listens to all the fancy Western teachings, but they're all empty words and useless."

Ao Guang looked at Ao Qin in surprise and said, "Our Four Seas Dragon Clan has long since submitted to the Heavenly Court. Once we submit, we will do our job obediently. This time, our friendship with Immortal Yu Ding has nothing to do with the Dragon Clan behind us or the Jade Void Palace. It is our personal friendship, understand?"

Ao Qin looked bewildered and astonished.

At this moment, Venus and Jade Cauldron had already rushed to the surface of the sea, riding on clouds, heading straight for Jambudvipa (the southern continent).

Yu Ding continued his good habit this time, releasing some clones to return to their original places or to complete unfinished tasks.

So... one of the clones followed the direction Longji had indicated and finally found someone.

"Immortal Jade Cauldron, if I'm not mistaken, are we heading to the Southern Continent?" Taibai asked.

Yu Ding laughed and said, "That's right. I promised to find you a candidate for the Heavenly Emperor. I always keep my word."

"Who exactly is this person that you, Immortal, value so highly?"

Venus said suspiciously, "Let's make this clear first. If you can't guarantee my satisfaction, then I'll have to call the immortals again."

Yu Ding smiled confidently, "Satisfaction guaranteed!"

You know, this fellow Daoist Haotian is really something, why does he have to play around with reincarnation and tribulations? Oh, and he's even married again. Well, he's with the Queen Mother of the West again.

It really proves the saying... He runs, she chases, he can't escape even if he grows wings!

However, the more confident Yu Ding appeared, the more suspicious Tai Bai became, wondering where Yu Ding's confidence came from.

Although the two were riding on clouds, at Yu Ding's urging, Venus also unusually sped up on clouds, rushing towards the Southern Continent at lightning speed.

hum!
As they were walking, suddenly, Yu Ding's expression changed, and he took out a crystal Taoist doll from his sleeve. He saw that there was an incoming call, so he immediately tapped it. Two beams of light shot out from the little Taoist's eyes, forming a light screen.

Longji appeared among them, and said anxiously, "Master, where are you? I have good news!"

"I was just about to go somewhere with Venus. What good news is there?" Yu Ding was slightly taken aback and showed Long Ji the surroundings and Venus.

Venus bowed respectfully: "Your Highness Longji!"

Longji's eyes lit up: "Oh? Venus is here too? Perfect timing, I just received news that the Heavenly Court is choosing a new Heavenly Emperor, is that right?"

Yu Ding raised an eyebrow. Wait a minute, could it be that Long Ji has actually listened to his story and is now planning to take the path of an empress?
Venus was taken aback and said, "That is indeed true."

Longji coughed and asked, "Then what do you think of my master becoming the Heavenly Emperor?"

Yu Ding's face slowly darkened.

Venus was also taken aback for a moment, then looked at the jade cauldron and exclaimed with delight, "That would be wonderful, of course! I couldn't be happier! What, does Your Highness mean...?"

Longji said with satisfaction, "Very good, Master, I've won another vote for you. Now you have three votes. But it's still not enough. Master, just wait for my good news!"

"Wait a minute, my mind is a bit confused. No, Longji, what are you doing?" Yu Ding stared at Longji with deep eyes.

Longji was slightly taken aback: "Master, aren't you happy being the Heavenly Emperor?" "Go ask your father if he's happy."

Yu Ding stared at her: "And who told you that your master wants to become the Heavenly Emperor?"

"This... Master, you don't want to?" Longji was somewhat surprised. Why was this different from what her senior brother had told her?
Yu Ding narrowed his eyes: "Who told you that's what I thought?"

But in the scene, Longji suddenly froze, and Yu Ding's face darkened as he said, "I'm telling you, don't try this on me. This is something I've already mastered..."

Before the sound faded, the screen suddenly went dark, and Longji disappeared from the screen.

Yu Ding's expression immediately became uncertain. Taibai Jinxing wanted to recommend him to be the Heavenly Emperor, and Long Ji was also recommending him to be the Heavenly Emperor...

It feels like everyone in the world except him wants him to sit there!

No, there's no time to lose, we need to finalize this matter quickly.

Brother Haotian, I'm a little embarrassed, but your vacation is really coming to an end.

Venus coughed and said, "Immortal, even Prince Longji thinks highly of you. Your becoming the Heavenly Emperor is truly the will of the people."

Yu Ding was too lazy to argue with Tai Bai, so he sped off towards his destination.

At that moment, a blue phoenix flew across the distant horizon.

Longji let out a long sigh after hanging up the video call, then his expression became uncertain.

Originally, after hearing her master's story about the empress, she was planning to develop in that direction.

She only made way after recognizing Yuan Hong as a fellow disciple and being informed that they were preparing to help their master ascend to the Heavenly Palace.

"Yes, yes, these are all wishful thinking on their part. They didn't even ask Master's opinion."

Two glints flashed in Longji's eyes as she immediately grasped the crux of the problem. In that case, she could try to win it over this time.

"Woooooooo..."

At her feet stood a golden-armored general who had been bound like a dumpling with a glowing rope and had his mouth stuffed up. He was now bruised and swollen, his face filled with terror.

Longji glanced at the golden-armored deity and laughed, "Guardian deity, tell me, I just stepped out and ran into you. Aren't we very destined to meet?"

The guardian deity could only nod, sighing inwardly. He blamed himself for being a naive and impetuous youth who had been too eager to uphold the sanctity and progress of the Heavenly Laws, and as a result, had offended the daughter of the Heavenly Emperor.

After that, he almost always avoided this prince whenever he saw him, but this time he was really unlucky and somehow bumped into him.

Longji's eyes burned brightly. With a flick of his hand, he used his magic to remove the jewel that had gagged the guardian deity: "If I were to contend for the throne of the Heavenly Emperor, would you support me?"

As she finished speaking, an aura of majesty and power rose from her, as if it had been suppressed for a very long time.

The guardian deity stared wide-eyed in shock, his pupils trembling, as if he were seeing a powerful empress appear.

Compared to the primordial emperor who attended court on time and had a very peaceful personality, this princess was much more assertive than her father.

Unbeknownst to them, the guardian deity nodded.

"Very good!" Longji nodded, and with a wave of his hand, the pearl, now smeared with saliva, landed in the hands of the guardian deity: "This Thunder Prison Pearl is yours."

The guardian deity looked at the precious pearl in his hand with great joy and said in disbelief, "Thank you, Your Highness!"

He had accumulated merits over many years in the Heavenly Realm, but because his weapon was broken, he could only exchange it for a top-grade divine weapon, the Golden Dragon Sword. He didn't even have a decent spiritual treasure.

I never expected that His Highness would offer such a top-grade spiritual treasure so readily. This... His Highness is far too generous!
Longji nodded, her eyes flashing. Since her master didn't think much of that position, she would definitely fight for it without hesitation.

When her father and mother are reincarnated, let them see the transformation of their once-despised daughter.

……

At this moment, Yu Ding and Taibai Jinxing had flown across thousands of mountains and rivers and finally arrived at a valley.

The houses had formed more than a dozen sizable villages.

“This is truly a rare secluded paradise…” Venus sighed.

Yu Ding nodded slightly. At this time, the world outside was in a state of great chaos, and the feudal lords in the places he passed through were all preparing for war.

Instead, this place has become like a paradise.

"Immortal, why are you not leaving?"

Seeing that the jade cauldron stopped moving as soon as it hit the ground, Venus asked curiously.

Yu Ding looked ahead: "Because... a celestial being has already found this place before us, and, well, it's someone we know."
