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

Chapter 499 I am Hao... Why is it me again?
Inside the Tongming Hall.

The gods were already horrified by the sudden turn of events, their faces filled with shock, some of them still unable to react.

At this moment, Ning Zhe emitted countless golden rays and a scorching aura, as if another sun had appeared in the Tongming Palace, making it difficult for all the immortals to look directly at him.

"You are... the Demon Emperor's son, the Six Golden Crows?"

The White Emperor's gaze sharpened, and after nodding to the jade cauldron, he stared intently at the golden sun.

To be honest, even He didn't notice anything unusual just now. If this guy really became the Heavenly Emperor, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"This old six!"

Venus stared at the great sun, gritting his teeth in anger, but a look of lingering fear appeared on his face.

He never expected that this sixth brother would be so bold as to infiltrate the election for the Heavenly Emperor.

Although Zhang Youren is here, the choice of the Heavenly Emperor is basically settled. Although this sixth brother managed to sneak in, his chances of becoming the Heavenly Emperor are extremely small.

But nothing is absolute, and who can guarantee that something might happen?

Thinking of this, he cast a grateful glance at the jade cauldron, but then he suddenly remembered something and glanced at the furious Da Ri, his expression turning strange.

Believe it or not, this Jade Cauldron Immortal seems to have a natural nemesis for this sixth brother.

The golden sun sneered, "It's me!"

Venus roared, "You audacious fiend! How dare you trespass into the Heavenly Court and disrupt the election! Guards, seize him!"

At his command, a group of heavenly soldiers and generals rushed into the hall with their weapons.

boom--

Suddenly, the sun shone brightly with golden light, and the temperature soared, as if one were standing on the surface of the sun. A wave of heat swept out and blasted the heavenly soldiers and generals away.

"These pieces of trash think they can take down me? Taibai Jinxing, you'd better give up!"

The golden sun laughed and said, "Besides, I am not here to cause trouble today. I just heard that your Heavenly Court is holding a grand ceremony to select the Heavenly Emperor, so I came to join in the fun."

The White Emperor asked, "Do you want to become the Heavenly Emperor?"

The golden sun laughed and said, "I remember that you didn't seem to have any rules about who couldn't participate in the selection of the Heavenly Emperor, did you?"

As he finished speaking, the golden light dissipated with a bang, revealing Ning Zhe's figure. He looked no different from before, except that his pupils had turned golden and a golden sun mark had appeared between his eyebrows.

Ning Zhe said leisurely, "As the saying goes, the Heavenly Emperor takes turns, and today it's my turn."

"We just had a ride at your house the day before yesterday, so there's no way we'll get a turn at your house this time."

Yu Ding interrupted him, saying, "Li Tianwang, deal with him!"

Li Jing and Long Ji exchanged a glance and were about to make their move.

Ning Zhe roared, "Yu Ding, today I am running for the Heavenly Emperor according to the rules. Since they have chosen me, I have the right to participate in the election. Why did you attack me before the results were announced?"

Yu Ding calmly replied, "The fact that the Heavenly Court chose Ning Zhe has nothing to do with you, the imposter, the sixth brother."

Ning Zhe was speechless for a moment, choked by the words.

Yu Ding said with a disdainful look: "Besides, with your level, how many points can you get in the exam? The result will be the same whether it comes out or not. Let's get rid of him!"

Boom——

Ning Zhe's expression changed, and he sneered, "You? Ha, the Heavenly Court, which was helpless even after being made a mess by a few juniors, can come and go as it pleases? Who can stop me? Who can deal with me? Hahaha..."

As his wild and unrestrained laughter transformed into a blazing sun once more, true fire surged and burned fiercely, causing the temperature to skyrocket, making the Tongming Palace appear as if it were built on the surface of the sun in an instant.

Not to mention the immortals getting close, even the immortals with profound magical power were sweating profusely from the sun and had to use their magic to resist. The immortals with shallower cultivation were so hot that their faces turned red and their bodies lost water rapidly, and one by one they swayed and fell to the ground.

"You fiend, how dare you be so insolent!"

Li Jing snorted coldly and summoned the golden pagoda in his left hand. With a boom, the Xuanhuang Qi surged forth, like a vast ocean bursting forth, boundless and immeasurable. In an instant, it froze the great sun and pressed down upon it.

"Hmph, so you're the newly appointed Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King by the Heavenly Court?"

Ning Zhe stared at the golden pagoda above his head and sneered, "Today I have melted down your pagoda. From now on, you should change your name."

With a thunderous roar, the golden sun unleashed its crimson-gold true fire, seemingly possessing the power to burn the heavens, as it scorched the divine light that enveloped it.

"Wait, no, that's not right, the Primordial Chaos Qi... What kind of tower is this?"

After burning for a while, it discovered that the divine light was too thick and solid to burn, and couldn't help but ask in horror.

Boom!

The golden pagoda crashed down into the hall, suppressing the great sun beneath it, reducing it to a size of ten feet and standing tall within the hall.

As the golden sun was suppressed, the temperature in the main hall immediately dropped, and the gods who had collapsed on the ground, their bodies scorched red, suddenly looked as if they had survived a calamity.

Then, all the gods looked at the golden pagoda, and then at Li Jing, the owner of the pagoda, and their gazes gradually changed.

"Thank you, Heavenly King Li!"

"Li Tianwang is incredibly powerful!"

The group of immortals helped each other to their feet and thanked Li Jing.

Only then did they realize how far-sighted Venus had been and how correct his decision to recruit the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King had been.

With this Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King in charge, their Heavenly Court was no longer a place where petty scoundrels could come and go as they pleased.

Yu Ding nodded secretly as he watched this scene. With this, Li Jing could finally gain a firm foothold in the Heavenly Court.

Longji looked surprised and leaned closer to whisper, "What an amazing pagoda, Master. This Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King is quite something."

Despite being scorched by the intense heat of the sun, she and Yu Ding remained calm, their bodies glistening with crystalline light.

This item is her innate spiritual treasure, the Mist and Dew Universe Net. Mist and dew are true water, which perfectly counteracts all fire.

However, Li Jing's expression didn't change much under the Great Sun True Fire, which was enough to show that he had a high level of cultivation.

Little did she know that Li Jing possessed the demon god Bifang, an expert in the art of fire.

How could the Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda not be powerful...? Yu Ding gave her a wink: "It's time for the Mist Dew Universe Network to come in handy."

The True Fire of the Sun is the most intense and yang fire in the world. Although these immortals survived, their skin suffered severe burns that could not be healed by ordinary magic or elixirs, and they were groaning incessantly.

Longji instantly understood, and immediately made a hand seal, causing the Mist and Dew Universe Net to fly upwards and spread out, with drops of mist and dew falling from the net.

These mists and dews, like sweet rain, fell upon the bodies and wounds of those immortals, and then a miraculous scene unfolded: the burns caused by the true fire healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Before long, the groans that had been in the main hall disappeared, and the immortals regained their usual spirits.

"Little Dragon thanks the fairy for saving him."

Ao Guang glanced at Yu Ding and Long Ji, his eyes flashing, and immediately thanked them.

As soon as he spoke, the other immortals also realized that Longji had saved them and expressed their gratitude.

To be honest, although they had had unpleasant experiences with this fairy in the past, she seemed to be glowing at this moment, as she saved them from their suffering.

Yu Ding did not make a move just now. Firstly, he knew that this was just an avatar of the sixth brother, which Li Jing could easily handle. Secondly, his attention was entirely focused on the Chaos Bell.

This sixth brother had schemed against his apprentice and had a grudge against him, so he would definitely deal with him every time they met.

However, the first owner of the Chaos Bell was Donghuang Taiyi, and Lao Liu was Taiyi's nephew, so he was not sure whether the Chaos Bell would help Lao Liu.

To his relief, the Chaos Bell remained completely still throughout, though this could also be due to the fact that it was just an incarnation of the sixth brother.

"Fortunately, Immortal Jade Cauldron exposed this sixth brother."

Venus felt that the nickname Yu Ding had given the six golden crows was quite catchy, so he continued to use it, and said with some lingering fear, "Although he doesn't have the strength to become the Heavenly Emperor."

Yu Ding raised an eyebrow and asked, "The test scores are out?"

Venus nodded and handed the three exam papers to Yu Ding.

Yu Ding glanced at the score and suddenly burst into laughter: "Six points? This guy is really living up to his name, hahaha, I'm dying of laughter. He doesn't have any ability and he dares to take the test. Who gave him the courage? We should really give him this score and see what his expression is like."

Venus coughed and said, "The problem now is that Long Ji and Zhang Youren have the same score. How should we choose?"

"All eight points?"

Yu Ding's smile faded as he stared at the exam paper. Long Ji seemed to have performed exceptionally well, but how could Zhang Youren have gotten such a high score?

How could someone get such a high score when they haven't even returned to their original state and have lost their previous memories and Dao fruits?

So it was... intervention from Heaven?

Venus sighed, "We can't have another match, but I know Her Highness's temper better than I do. If we can't persuade her..."

Yu Ding waved his hand and said, "Things have come to this point, what else do you think I can do? Let's leave the rest to fate!"

Venus left with a bitter face and announced the scores.

Upon seeing the score, Zhang Youren's expression immediately turned bitter. Sure enough, Long Ji had already come up to him and gave him a deep look: "I never realized before that you, who are so unassuming, were actually hiding such a deep talent!"

Zhang Youren quickly explained, "Fairy, please let me explain. I don't know what happened, but suddenly my thoughts flowed like a spring, and I couldn't stop... The key is that I didn't expect that everything I wrote randomly would be correct."

Longji sneered, "Do you think I believe it or not?"

Zhang Youren sighed: "To be honest, fairy, being the Heavenly Emperor is not a good job. Although it looks glamorous, it is actually very difficult. In my opinion, it is better to sit by the river with a pole all day."

Longji stared intently at Zhang Youren and said, "You remind me of someone..."

Zhang asked curiously, "Who is the fairy talking about?"

Longji snorted, "Anyway, it's not you."

Zhang Youren was speechless, choked up.

Venus stepped forward and said, "Gentlemen, given that your scores are similar, to ensure fairness, we have decided to have you debate your governance essays before deciding the winner. What do you say?"

Zhang Youren hurriedly said, "No need, no need, Immortal Elder, can I abstain? I really can't be the Heavenly Emperor."

Venus snorted, "The position of the Heavenly Emperor concerns the common people; how can it be treated lightly? Countless people would rather die than have it, yet you keep offering it up. What do you take the position of the Heavenly Emperor for?"

Phew, that feels good. This is probably the only chance I'll have to openly and legitimately reprimand the Heavenly Emperor.

Zhang Youren was left speechless after being reprimanded.

Venus said, "If you two are ready, please step forward and begin!"

Zhang Youren had no choice but to reluctantly follow Long Ji onto the stage.

Just as the immortals were looking forward to it, suddenly, a strange fragrance wafted from the main hall, flowers rained down from the sky, and golden light shone down on the two of them.

"This is……"

Bathed in golden light, Zhang Youren felt countless memories flood his mind, causing him to involuntarily close his eyes. The golden light from the ceiling fell on his body and transformed into an imperial crown and imperial robe.

Upon witnessing this scene, all the immortals knelt down and said, "Greetings, Heavenly Emperor!"

Longji was both surprised and anxious. Just as she was about to do something, she saw the jade cauldron in the distance shake its head at her.

"I am the Supreme Jade Emperor of the Golden Palace of the Vast Heaven, the Naturally Existing and Wondrously True Jade Emperor... How come it's me again?"

After a long while, Zhang Youren opened his eyes and softly recited something. The confusion in his eyes dissipated, but he suddenly became somewhat exasperated.

P.S.: Sorry I accidentally posted a few scraps at the end, about a hundred words. Tomorrow I will revise and polish this chapter to make up the word count and not take your points for nothing!
