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

Chapter 506 Optimus Prime

Under the shade of green on the hillside.

"So that's what happened."

Shen Gongbao sat opposite Bai Lin and Li Daotong. After listening to Shen Gongbao's account, they immediately showed anger.

"Hmph, summoning someone with important responsibilities only to hand this task over to someone else, isn't that just making fun of them?" Li Daotong snorted.

Berlin also said in a deep voice, "And this Antarctic Immortal is also extremely unethical. Not only does he not uphold justice, but he also takes sides. He is unworthy of being the senior disciple of the Chan Sect."

Shen Gongbao patted the dust off his flying tiger mount lying beside him, a hint of sadness crossing his face: "So be it...so be it. Who...who told me to have such a bad background? Although...although it is said that Lord Yuanshi does not...dislike those who are different, but...I thought that as long as I worked hard enough, I could break the prejudices in the hearts of the sect leader and my fellow disciples, but...but I found out that I was wrong."

He looked up at the sky and sighed, "The prejudices in people's hearts are like Mount Buzhou, no matter how hard you try, you can't move them an inch."

His mount, Flying Tiger, let out a low growl.

Berlin and Li Daotong exchanged a glance, their hearts stirred, both deeply moved by those words.

Like Shen Gongbao, the two of them were also born out of wedlock, but they were luckier than Shen Gongbao because they were enrolled in Biyou Palace and met the Tongtian Master who taught without discrimination.

Their different choices led to vastly different circumstances compared to Shen Gongbao.

Berlin shook his head and said, "Fellow Daoist Shen, please forgive me for speaking bluntly, but this Jade Void Palace is definitely not a place for you to stay for long."

Shen Gongbao sneered: "After this incident, I have seen their true colors. Even if I give my life, I cannot break through their prejudices. I will never go back to this damned Jade Void Palace."

He slapped his horse, Flying Tiger, in a fit of anger, but the tiger yelped in pain and instinctively lunged at him.

Li Daotong's expression shifted: "Then what are Fellow Daoist Shen's plans for the future?"

Shen Gongbao chuckled self-deprecatingly: "Plans? What... what plans could I possibly have? If Jade Void doesn't want me, there are plenty of other places that will. The Primordial World is so vast, but with my abilities, surely... surely I'll find a place to stay?"

Li Daotong and Bai Lin exchanged a glance, their faces lighting up with delight.

Li Daotong said, "In that case, if Fellow Daoist Shen has no plans for the time being, why don't you come back to Biyou Palace with us?"

"Biyou Palace?"

Shen Gongbao feigned surprise: "This...can it really work? I...I'll offend the Jade Void Palace."

"What's there to be afraid of? Those who are not kept by Yuxu Palace, we will keep by Biyou Palace; those who are not tolerated by Yuxu Palace, we will tolerate by Biyou Palace. In short, we simply cannot stand the hypocrisy of Yuxu Palace."

Berlin sneered, "Fellow Daoist Shen, just come with us without worry. Once you get to Biyou Palace, no one will look down on you or bully you anymore."

"Come on, you're kidding me..." Shen Gongbao was overjoyed: "This... really works?"

Outsiders also thought that the Biyou Sect members were all harmonious, but how could he not know the actual situation?

Human nature is complex. Wherever there are people, there will be disputes, whether they are mortals, immortals, or saints. Even those sect leaders are not immune to this. Even a good person like Senior Brother Yu Ding cannot get along with Manjushri and the others.

How could so many disciples and followers of Biyou Palace possibly be all in harmony?
Does he really not know that back then, Lü Yue fought fiercely with Duobao on Jin'ao Island to compete for the title of number one? Does he not know that Guiling Shengmu has been secretly resentful of Jinling Shengmu and disliked the Three Immortals of Sanxiao being surrounded by so many male immortals for a long time?

Hmph! Does he really think Shen Gongbao has been wasting his life all these years?
Li Daotong laughed and said, "Of course you can. Come on, we'll take you back to see the sect leader. I really look forward to you becoming a member of our Biyou Palace."

Although the Jie Sect is known as having ten thousand immortals paying homage, a celestial being like Shen Gongbao would be considered a mid-to-high level of power within the sect, so they would naturally be happy to recruit him to join the Biyou Sect.

"Ah? I want to see the sect leader?" Shen Gongbao panicked and wanted to slap himself.

You mean the Old Man of the South Pole just happened to throw him right in front of the disciples of the Jie Sect? Isn't that a coincidence?
Adding to the previous coincidences, it's a double coincidence... Hey, why is he so clever? Now that he's figured out the Emperor's intentions, how is he going to get past the Tongtian Sect Leader?

Berlin and Li Daotong excitedly pulled Shen Gongbao all the way to Jin'ao Island.

The three rode the wind and clouds, traveling thousands of miles, and finally arrived at Jin'ao Island.

Looking at the familiar surroundings, Shen Gongbao's feelings were very different from when he came before. In the past, he was a guest, but today he only felt guilty.

As the three of them walked towards Biyou Palace, they saw a young Taoist priest dozing off, looking lazy and languid.

"Uncle-Master Li, Uncle-Master Bai!"

The young Taoist bowed to the two men and then looked at Shen Gongbao.

Bai Lin and Li Daotong hurriedly said they dared not accept such a greeting and quickly returned the courtesy, saying, "Senior Brother Tianxu!"

Although Shen Gongbao was somewhat surprised by the way the three addressed each other, he quickly followed suit and said, "Shen Gong... Gongbao greets Brother Tianxu."

Although he found the Taoist priest unfamiliar, there were too many Biyou Sect members on Jin'ao Island, so it was normal that he couldn't recognize them all.

Tianxu raised an eyebrow: "That Shen Gongbao from Jade Void Palace?"

Berlin hurriedly recounted Shen Gongbao's ordeal and said, "We were just about to take him to see the sect leader and ask him to accept Fellow Daoist Shen as our disciple."

Tianxu nodded: "Go!"

The three then headed towards Biyou Palace.

Tianxu watched the three figures disappear into the distance, then glanced in the direction of Kunlun Mountain and couldn't help but sigh softly.

Has Shen Gongbao finally come to this?!

In the original story, Shen Gongbao and Jiang Ziya's relationship was not as close as the deep friendship they had here because of the jade tripod.

At that time, Yu Ding didn't know how things would develop, but he felt that it would be different from the original story. He never expected that he would turn against Jiang Ziya and end up like this.

And just by listening, you can tell it's the scheme of that person from Jade Void Palace...

Unfortunately, Shen Gongbao was the key figure in this great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods, trapping one fellow cultivator after another on the list. Frankly speaking, his role was much greater than that of Jiang Ziya.

Although he also felt that Xiao Shen's situation as a pawn was somewhat tragic, Tianxu could only watch helplessly as Yu Ding did what he could do next.

At this moment, Shen Gongbao also asked with some curiosity, "Fellow Daoists, why does that Fellow Daoist Tianxu call you 'Uncle-Master,' but you call him 'Senior Brother'?"

Berlin said, "His original Daoist name was Tiantong, and he was a closed-door disciple that the sect leader took in many years ago."

Li Daotong continued, "But later, I don't know how I offended my teacher, so his Daoist name was changed to Tianxu, and his seniority was reduced by one generation."

Shen Gongbao nodded in sudden realization, and pondered, "Tianxu...Tiantong, what, Tiantong?!"

Suddenly, his pupils contracted, and he looked at the other two in alarm: "It can't be..."

"Hey, you're not stupid after all!" the two laughed.

Fellow Daoist Li said meaningfully, "Such a Daoist title is not something an ordinary person would dare to use. However, the sect leader must have a deeper meaning behind this move. Everyone should pretend not to know and cooperate. You also need to remember not to give yourself away."

The incarnation of the Tongtian Sect Leader... Shen Gongbao felt a chill run down his spine, especially when he recalled the meaningful look the other party gave him before leaving, which made him feel uneasy.

How could he possibly get into Biyou Palace?

He glanced at the magnificent and sacred palace, which was in no way inferior to the Jade Void Palace, and couldn't help but swallow.

"Fine, I'm already here, so what if I die?" In his extreme panic, he suddenly made a snap decision. Besides, those were just his guesses.

right? !
After asking the Water and Fire Boy to convey their message, Bai Lin and Li Daotong followed Shen Gongbao into Biyou Palace and arrived at the Bagua Platform. They quickly bowed and knelt down, saying, "Disciples wish our Master a long and healthy life!"

Shen Gongbao also bowed and said, "Shen Gong... Ah Bao greets his martial uncle, wishing his martial uncle... a long and prosperous life!"

This idiot has been brought here by Yuanshi again... Tongtian couldn't help but twitch as he looked at Shen Gongbao's figure below, surrounded by chaotic energy.

This damn thing has screwed over the Biyou Sect members so many times!
However, this cannot be entirely blamed on Shen Gongbao. If even a few of his disciples had listened to him, he would not have been disappointed time and time again.

Although fate is predetermined, seeing this scoundrel sent by Yuanshi to trick Him again and again... He really wanted to slap this guy out of the room.

Tongtian said calmly, "Shen Gongbao, why are you here at my Biyou Palace instead of staying at Yuxu Palace?"

Knowing is one thing, but since this play has reached His place, He has no choice but to continue performing.

Shen Gongbao looked at Li Daotong and Bai Lin. These two teammates were quite helpful, quickly embellishing the injustices and bullying Shen Gongbao had suffered, and finally stating that they wanted Shen Gongbao to join Bi You's sect.

Tongtian said, "A loyal minister does not serve two masters. Shen Gongbao, since you are a disciple of Yuxu Palace, what is the reason for you to switch your allegiance to my Biyou Sect?"

Shen Gongbao said urgently, "The people of Yuxu are prejudiced against me because of my background. Master, I... I really can't stay here any longer. I beg you to take me in."

Tongtian said, "Things have come to this, you can't blame anyone else, go now!"

Shen Gongbao said, "Shen Gongbao doesn't blame anyone else, it's just... it's just that I was blocked by the vast East Sea and went to Kunlun Mountain instead of coming to Jin'ao Island. Now I can't go back to Yuxu Palace either. Please take me in, sir!"

After saying this, he knelt down deeply.

Li Daotong and Bai Lin quickly chimed in, "Teacher, let's keep Fellow Daoist Shen. This time, he has really broken ties with Yuxu Palace. Besides, the fact that he can tolerate what Yuanshi Tianzun cannot just shows the magnanimity of Biyou Palace and the narrow-mindedness of Yuxu Palace."

Tongtian looked at Shen Gongbao for a moment and said, "Fine, then you can stay!"

It passed so easily… Shen Gongbao was somewhat incredulous, and kowtowed in surprise, saying, “So…so…”

Tongtian, exhausted, waved his hand and said, "Alright, go down."

Li Daotong and Bai Lin happily led Shen Gongbao away.

Tongtian glanced in the direction of the group, his eyes narrowing. He didn't remember this scoundrel ever having this problem before.

You should know that this guy used to rely on his silver tongue to deceive people, and now that he has this problem... can he still work?

Without mentioning Shen Gongbao's successful defection to Biyou's sect, or Jiang Ziya's journey to the East Sea coast to subdue the wandering soul Bai Jian and build the Investiture Platform in Xiqi.

At this time, the news of the Jade Emperor taking over the Heavenly Court spread throughout the prehistoric world.

Especially when they learned that he was born a mortal, countless gods and demons in the prehistoric world were utterly astonished.

As for his wife in the mortal realm, she became the Queen Mother of the West, ruling over the Jade Pool, and his seven daughters were also named princesses, in charge of the rainbow.

"Ah! Ah! Ah..."

Above a hot spring that was boiling like hot water, a furious roar came from the sun, causing towering columns of water to erupt.

Immediately afterwards, a pair of almost fiery crimson-gold eyes shone brightly from within this golden sun.

Once, again, and again...

This time, Yu Ding has ruined several of his plans.

"Damn it! Damn it!"

Liu Jinwu gritted his teeth. He realized that ever since he clashed with Yu Ding, nothing he did went smoothly, and his grand plan never succeeded again.

He sent men to kidnap Haotian's daughter... but failed!
Taking advantage of the Heavenly Emperor's absence, he led the remnants of the Demon Court in a war to seize the Heavenly Throne... and failed!
Not only did he fail, but he also lost face in front of his subordinates and had to go into hiding for so many years.

This time, he discovered that after the celestial beings searched for a successor to the Heavenly Emperor, they even specially crafted an avatar to transform the entire Great Qian Kingdom into a prosperous and powerful nation...

However, Yu Ding interfered again, causing all previous efforts to be in vain...

Still failed!

Not only did he fail, but he also ended up either getting injured or losing his avatars, and besides, he didn't have many avatars left.

"Could it be that this bastard Yu Ding... is somewhat of a jinx to me?"

Even the proud Sixth Prince of the Golden Crow was now somewhat doubting his existence. After a long while, he took a few deep breaths, slowly closed his eyes, and murmured, "Hidden weapons, waiting for the right time to strike! Waiting for the right time to strike..."

At this moment, the world inside the cauldron.

"Is Master not ready yet?"

"You're still far from it! Wow... this is your third stage?"

Yuan Hong's muscles bulged, and he was twelve feet tall. His long golden hair grew wildly and hung down his back. He burst out with magical power and burned, forming a blazing golden flame around his body, as hot as a sun.

But at this moment, he looked at his master, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.

A divine cauldron hung above his head. The jade cauldron threw pieces of divine metal into it, which melted and combined with the innate essence inside the cauldron to form inscriptions that were engraved on the iron rod.

Sweating profusely, Yuan Hong said, "Master, I can't hold on much longer."

Yu Ding glared at him: "A real man never says he can't. Hang in there, it'll be over soon."

Yuan Hong's lips twitched: "No, Master, I've never used this secret technique like this before!"

He only wanted his master to give him some pointers, but he never imagined that the secret techniques he developed for combat would one day be put to good use.

Yu Ding glanced at the cauldron and said, "That's because I didn't discover this treasure long ago, otherwise I would have used it already. You should be secretly happy."

hum!
Just then, the divine iron rod inside the cauldron turned a bright white, as if it were made of platinum, and flew up from the cauldron, landing in the jade cauldron's hand.

Yuan Hong, as if exhausted, had his flames extinguished and his face turned pale. He swayed and almost fell, but his eyes shone as he looked at the divine iron rod in Yu Ding's hand.

Yu Ding glanced at him and said, "After using the second tier, there are no more than three people in the Primordial Great Power Domain who can surpass you. The strength of the third tier is enough to rival the top battle immortals who have achieved physical sainthood at the Great Luo Realm. However, the disadvantages are also obvious."

Yuan Hong pondered for a moment and said, "It can't last!"

Yu Ding tossed the gleaming white iron rod in his hand to Yuan Hong and praised, "That's already quite remarkable!"

He told the truth.

Imagine two Golden Immortals fighting, and suddenly one of them uses a secret technique to boost their combat power to the Great Luo level. What chance do their opponents have?

Such a secret technique can no longer be described as merely amazing or brilliant.

This is outrageous! It's defying all reason!

Of course, Yuan Hong only possessed combat power but lacked the mental fortitude of a Great Luo Immortal, so he could not be considered a true Great Luo Golden Immortal.

"My weapon..."

Yuan Hong examined the heavy iron rod in his hand, which seemed to contain divine power. He felt that the weapon had undergone a transformation and immediately stroked it with great affection.

Suddenly, a thought struck him, and the weapon in his hand shrank instantly. With another thought, it grew larger in an instant, much to his delight.

Yu Ding said, "May you have whatever you desire, as long as you like it!"

I tried it out and thankfully didn't mess it up. Magical artifacts can be either innate or acquired, but weapons don't have that distinction.

Yuan Hong's staff was enhanced with a lot of divine metal and refined with the Tianyuan Qiankun Cauldron, making it undoubtedly one of the top weapons in the primordial world.

Next, it's time to upgrade the weapons of each of my apprentices.

Yuan Hong exclaimed with delight, "Big! Big! Big! Small! Small! Small... Master, can you name this wonderful weapon?"

Yu Ding immediately laughed and said, "Hey, disciple, you've come to the right person. Naming is my forte. I was the one who named your Uncle Jiang's martial arts technique last time. Look at this white staff, let's call it the Nine Heavens White Jade Demon-Slaying Staff, or the Platinum Thunderclap Staff, or the Sky-Supporting Thunder Staff..."

As Yuan Hong heard each name, the expectant light in his eyes dimmed, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

Master, are you sure... this is your forte?
Yu Ding suddenly snapped out of his self-absorbed reverie and asked, "Disciple, what do you think?"

Yuan Hong, seeing his master's excited expression, suddenly said, "Nine Heavens White Jade Pillar Supporting the Sky... Pillar Supporting the Sky, what a great name, I like it. Legend has it that when the ancient pillar supporting the sky, Buzhou, collapsed, Nuwa cut off the four legs of the divine tortoise to forge the pillar supporting the sky, and it was named the White Jade Pillar Supporting the Sky. Thank you, Master!"

He'll never ask his master to name his child again, even if you beat him to death!

Those names sound impressive, but... they're too embarrassing for him to say.

“Optimus Prime…this name reminds me of an old friend.”

Yu Ding waved his hand: "Although it's a bit monotonous to call you that, since you like it, then so be it!"
