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

Chapter 531 I am an undercover agent for the Chan and Jie sects?
"I also feel it's time."

Yun Zhongzi looked at Lei Zhenzi, who was working too hard in his arms, and said, "If it were someone else who was going to conquer Xiqi, it would be fine. With the help of my fellow disciples and Ziya's talent, we could handle it. But this time it is Wen Zhong who is personally leading the expedition."

Speaking of Wen Zhong, his expression hardened: "Wen Zhong once studied Taoism under the Golden Spirit Mother. After receiving guidance, he cultivated the Great Tao in the mortal world. His magical power is profound and his Taoist skills are extraordinary. He is beyond the ability of Ziya and those juniors to handle. We may have to go down the mountain ourselves to clean up the situation."

"That'll definitely be covered..." Yu Ding nodded slightly, expressionless: "To attain enlightenment in the mortal realm... truly extraordinary!"

The earlier skirmishes involving Zhang Guifang and the Four Sages of Kowloon Island were merely minor skirmishes; Wen Zhong's western expedition was the climax of this Shang-Zhou conflict and the battle between the Chan and Jie schools of thought.

In the original timeline of the Investiture of the Gods, Zhang Guifang and Lu Xiong suffered defeats, and Emperor Xin had an affair with Daji, which meant that Wen Zhong was stationed in Chaoge to keep an eye on the war in the southeast and had no time to spare. So he sent the four generals of the Demon Clan to the west.

He only launched his western expedition after the situation in the southeast stabilized and the four generals of the Mo family were defeated. However, now that Emperor Xin was stabilizing the situation in the court, Wen Zhong felt at ease leading his troops out.

The key point is that they also selected the Four Demon Generals!
Even without the assistance of the Ten Heavenly Kings and others, the five of Wen Zhong and the Four Demon Generals together would be a major problem for Xiqi.

This is enough to show how determined Wen Zhong is to take Xiqi this time.

Looking at the ravaged land, Yu Ding suppressed the small impulse surging in his heart and said expressionlessly, "Junior Brother, please repair this place!"

In any case, he was just an avatar of the Jade Cauldron. These days, he had been helping Lei Zhenzi develop the "Thunder Apricot" fruit, and he had consumed a lot of energy. Besides, this was not like repairing the Heavenly Court, where Yun Zhongzi alone was enough.

"These are what I should do."

Yun Zhongzi said gratefully, "On the contrary, it was I who was busy with those things that made Senior Brother shoulder the responsibility of teaching this boy and worry about him... Please accept my bow."

Yu Ding hurriedly helped Yun Zhongzi up and said expressionlessly, "It would be too formal for us to talk like this. Junior brother, give me Lei Zhenzi, I'll take it back."

However, he was very confident about one thing: after being trained by him, Lei Zhenzi's combat power would definitely surpass that of the original version.

In the original Investiture of the Gods, Yun Zhongzi wasted Lei Zhenzi's talent and ability, and did not properly develop Lei Zhenzi's power.

Otherwise, think about it, what use is Lei Zhenzi besides using his wind and thunder wings to fly and fight?
No, the battles were fought with a golden staff, and he didn't even have any decent thunder magic or supernatural powers, so his battle record after leaving the mountain was very average among the third generation.

The most impressive battle was against Lei Gong Xin Huan, who was originally a mountain bandit, also had wings, and was later subdued by Wen Zhong and followed him to conquer Xiqi. After his death, he was enfeoffed as the Thunder God.

Lei Zhenzi was extraordinary from the moment he appeared. He was found by Ji Chang in Yanshan after a thunderstorm, hence the name Lei Zhenzi.

He had seen from the beginning that Lei Zhenzi was born with a thunder body, a genius on par with Nezha. However, due to his young age and weak magical power, his body was unable to digest the enormous power after "accidentally eating" the immortal apricot, which caused his appearance to become distorted and ugly.

Well, at first he didn't want to train Lei Zhenzi or anything like that. Although there weren't many people in the third generation of Yuxu, each of them was already strong enough with their own unique skills.

However, he couldn't bear to watch such a fine piece of jade be wasted in Yun Zhongzi's hands.

Obsessive-compulsive disorder is unacceptable... Yu Ding shook his head and sighed inwardly. Or perhaps it could be called the aftereffects of being a famous teacher.

Ok?
Seeing that Yu Ding was expressionless, Yun Zhongzi thought that his senior brother was angry, so he quickly put Lei Zhenzi on Yu Ding's back and apologized, "Senior brother, I didn't mean that."

"I know!"

Yu Ding nodded, turned and left with Lei Zhenzi on his back.

"Brother!"

Yun Zhongzi watched Yu Ding's retreating figure, hesitated for a moment, but couldn't resist calling out to Yu Ding out of curiosity.

Yu Ding stopped, turned around, and asked expressionlessly, "What is it?"

Yun Zhongzi asked, "What is this volt you and Lei Zhenzi were talking about?"

"unit!"

Yu Ding said expressionlessly, "This is the unit I use to measure the strength of Lei Zhenzi's lightning power. The larger the number in front, the stronger the lightning power..."

He originally planned to name the unit Yu Ding, since he was the one who first named the voltage here, but then he felt that names like "Ten Thousand Yu Ding" or "Ten Hundred Million Yu Ding" sounded a bit strange...

"The power of lightning can be measured?"

Yun Zhongzi was stunned for a long time, and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, "As expected of Senior Brother Yu Ding, his ideas are truly like a heavenly horse soaring through the sky and a dragon playing in the sea. I am no match for him!"

Yu Ding added, "I have also developed several Taoist arts and supernatural powers for him to use when he goes down the mountain. You will see them in the future."

To put it simply, it's about the use of lightning power. At least it won't be like before, where going down the mountain would just be like a brute who would fly up and shout, "Take this!"
Yun Zhongzi was both surprised and delighted, and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother!"

Yu Ding nodded expressionlessly, turned around, and took a step forward with Lei Zhenzi on his back, walking through the void as if on flat ground.

"Why does Senior Brother seem a bit unhappy from the beginning until now?"

Yun Zhongzi frowned as he watched the jade cauldron disappear into the distance: "Did I provoke him just now... No, I didn't have any expression when I first saw him either. Was it because Lei Zhenzi's performance didn't satisfy him?"

He quickly shook his head. There was no point in thinking about these things now; restoring the earth was the priority.

He looked at the devastation, the landslides, and the gushing groundwater, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, Senior Brother Yu Ding was only leading Lei Zhenzi to cultivate on the ground, not in the Heavenly Court, and I arrived in time to prevent the damage from spreading."

Yun Zhongzi shook his head and smiled with some relief: "Otherwise, if something like this had happened in the Heavenly Court... I would have had to follow in the footsteps of my senior brothers Yu Ding, Tai Yi, and Manjushri and go to repair the Heavenly Court. Phew, not bad, not bad!"

By this time, Yu Ding had already walked far away. He glanced back at Lei Zhenzi behind him and snorted expressionlessly, "Sleeping so soundly... Hmph, I should have known better than to be so arrogant."

He became the first person to be electrocuted by a billion volts. That image is easy to fix, but having your face paralyzed by the electric shock is incredibly painful.

Once he was far from Yun Zhongzi, he suddenly changed direction and stopped going to Yuzhu Cave.

Because of those brats, their "Jade Palace Old Building Restoration Team" grew even larger last time.

But when it came to Yun Zhongzi, they just filled in the gaps, which is really... infuriating!
The wind howled, and Lei Zhenzi slowly opened his sleepy eyes, asking somewhat groggily, "Uncle-Master, are you carrying me on your back?"

Yu Ding said expressionlessly, "No, I'm carrying a pig that's gone crazy from sleeping."

Lei Zhenzi laughed and said, "I've mastered a billion volts, Uncle-Master, you're truly amazing."

"Don't repeat things that everyone already knows."

Yu Ding replied dismissively, "You did a good job too. You must be tired. Go to sleep."

Lei Zhenzi forced himself to stay awake and chuckled sleepily, "I'm not sleepy, I still want to share my happiness with my master!"

Yu Ding seemed to sense something and became even more perfunctory: "No, no, you're very sleepy right now and need to rest. Your master is having a good time right now, go to sleep, go to sleep."

He swayed his body, and his magic power transformed into a large hand that struck Lei Zhenzi on the head. Instantly, Lei Zhenzi's head tilted to the side and he "fell asleep."

"Have a sweet dream!"

As Yu Ding spoke, he landed in a mountain forest, where he saw a young Taoist priest in a blue robe waiting for him.

The Taoist priest asked, "Where are the things?"

With a flick of his sleeve, Yu Ding sent out three crystal dolls: "Here they are. Where are the ones I wanted?"

The Taoist took the jade cauldron, formed hand seals, and channeled his vast magical power into it to "recharge" it. Suddenly, he noticed the Thunderclap Eye on the back of the cauldron and frowned, saying, "Why did you bring someone else with you?"

Yu Ding: "..."

Wait a minute, this feeling...

Did I wake up to find myself working as an undercover agent for the Chan and Jie sects?

"Wait, a natural lightning physique, such astonishing lightning power..."

Tianxu was suddenly startled: "This kid is Lei Zhenzi, right? Strange, I remember he wasn't this strong before?"

Yu Ding replied guiltily, "More or less."

Whether it's Lei Zhenzi or Nezha, their realm may not be different from the original Investiture of the Gods, but their combat power has naturally improved after being trained by him.

Tianxu glanced at Yuding and said, "I have to remind you, you can only play this game if the players are roughly equal in strength. If you can't, you'll have to flip the table."

Yu Ding coughed lightly: "I know, I know!"

Tianxu asked irritably, "Are you done yet?"

Yu Ding said, "It's still early. It's only 65% ​​complete now. You've come all this way, so let's finish this good deed and give it a full charge!"

Tianxu: "...And now?"

"Seventy-eight percent, or seventy-eight percent for short!" "Alright, you're still trying to take advantage of others."

Tianxu abruptly stopped, glared angrily at the jade cauldron, and then transformed into a beam of divine light and disappeared into the distance.

Yu Ding smiled and shook his head, glanced at Lei Zhenzi, pondered for a long time, and then carried Lei Zhenzi back to Yuzhu Cave.

……

Meanwhile, Wen Zhong, after leaving Qinglong Pass, followed a narrow path that became increasingly rugged and narrow, with the narrowest point only wide enough for one or two riders to pass, making the journey quite difficult.

Upon seeing how difficult the journey was, Wen Zhong immediately regretted his decision. He thought that if he had known this would happen, he would have preferred to take the five passes, which, although longer, would have been much more convenient on the main roads and would not have delayed his journey.

A few days later, Wen Zhong passed through a large mountain and gathered four generals—Deng Zhong, Xin Huan, Zhang Jie, and Tao Rong—who were seeking refuge there due to the chaos of the warring states. Only then did he feel that his journey had not been in vain.

After the army passed Huanghua Mountain, they continued their march in a grand procession. They came to a mountain ridge with a stone tablet bearing the three characters "Jue Long Ling" (meaning "Dragon-Slaying Ridge").

As Wen Zhong rode on the black Qilin, he looked at the three characters "Jue Long Ling" and was startled. Deng Zhong asked, "Grand Tutor, what's wrong?"

Wen Zhong said in a low voice, "Back then, I studied under the Golden Spirit Mother at Biyou Palace for fifty years. My master said that my path was in the human world and ordered me to go down the mountain and enter the world to assist Cheng Tang."

Before I left, I asked about my future destiny. My teacher once said, "You will never encounter the word 'absolute' in your life." But look, there is a "absolute" on the stone tablet...

Fei Zhong quickly laughed and said, "Grand Tutor, you are mistaken. Even a great man does not believe that a single word can determine one's fate, let alone a hero like you, Grand Tutor?"

Wen Zhong's brows relaxed slightly, and his complexion improved considerably.

You Hun quickly chimed in with a smile, "That's right, that's right. Besides, with the Grand Tutor's talent and virtue, he has always been invincible and successful in every battle. Little Xiqi is nothing to worry about; it will surely be captured in no time."

Wen Zhong raised an eyebrow and glanced at the two of them.

He seemed to have grasped the king's joy.

No wonder the king kept these two treacherous and harmful people around him. They are indeed treacherous, but the words they utter are also genuinely pleasant to hear.

The four brothers, Deng Zhong and Xin Huan, stared intently at the obsequious Fei Zhong and You Hun, their faces darkening.

Those two bastards stole the words they wanted to use to comfort the Grand Tutor...

"That makes some sense, but not much."

Just as Wen Zhong was in a slightly better mood, a laugh suddenly rang out, startling everyone. Upon closer inspection, they saw a young Taoist sitting cross-legged on a stone tablet inscribed with the words "Jue Long Ling".

Wen Zhong cupped his hands and said, "Wen Zhong greets you. May I ask your Daoist name and which famous mountain cave you cultivate in?"

The Taoist priest smiled and returned the greeting: "This humble Taoist priest, Tianchong, greets the Grand Tutor."

As he spoke, he glanced at the four generals Deng Xin, Zhang, and Tao whom Wen Zhong had recently subdued. He noticed that one of the generals had a face as blue as indigo, hair as red as cinnabar, fangs, golden armor, a red robe, and rode a black horse, wielding a mountain-splitting axe.

There was another general with wings growing from his ribs, a face like a red date, a protruding mouth and fangs, holding a golden hammer in his hand, and a deep gaze. There was also lightning surging within his body.

The other two generals were also quite imposing, one wielding a spear and the other carrying double maces on horseback, but their appearances were no different from ordinary people and there was nothing strange about them.

Far from it… The Taoist shook his head upon seeing this. Below the Thunder God of the Nine Heavens Responding to the Origin of Thunder and Universal Transformation Heavenly Venerable, there are twenty-four Heavenly Lords, and these four are all among them.

Among them, the two with strange appearances were the strongest, but they were only considered to be human immortals. The other two were martial arts experts, but they were nothing special.

The winged figure needs no further explanation; it must be Xin Huan, the Thunder God from mythology.

In the original Investiture of the Gods, these people were considered quite strong among humans, but they were far inferior to immortals and gods. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been easily subdued by Wen Zhong using Taoist magic.

They were never a match for the third generation of Jade Void, and now... they are even less of a match for them.

Wen Zhong asked alertly, "What did Fellow Daoist Tianchong mean by what he just said?"

Given his level of cultivation, the fact that he failed to detect the appearance of this Taoist priest clearly indicates that this was also a senior who kept a low profile.

"It's nothing. I'm here specifically to wait for the Grand Tutor."

Daoist Tianchong dared not reveal too many heavenly secrets, but only said: "I just want to remind Grand Tutor that the third-generation disciples of Yuxu have powerful magic and great supernatural abilities. I'm afraid the few generals you have recently recruited are not enough."

He didn't warn Wen Zhong to be careful here. Even if Wen Zhong hadn't come to Jue Long Ridge, the Yu Xu Sect would have found other places with the character "Jue" in their names to get rid of Wen Zhong, fulfilling the prophecy of the Golden Spirit Mother.

And that is precisely why... it proves that what the Holy Mother Jinling said was correct, thus forming a closed loop.

Wen Zhong served as a veteran of three dynasties for about sixty years... By then, the joint signing of the Investiture of the Gods by the three religions had been completed.

Wen Zhong was taken aback, then cupped his hands and smiled, "So, Brother Dao has come to lend me a hand."

How can you be so shameless, just like Shen Gongbao...? Tianchong Daoist waved his hand and said, "I'm here to help you all, but not in the way the Grand Tutor thinks."

As he spoke, he suddenly raised his hand and pointed, and four beams of immortal power shone brightly, splitting into four that headed towards the four generals Deng, Xin, Zhang, and Tao.

The four were shocked and tried to resist, but it was too late. They could only watch helplessly as the divine light entered their bodies, staring in disbelief at the changes in themselves.

However, the group soon discovered that they not only felt no pain, but also felt as comfortable as if they were soaking in a hot spring.

Soon, the group was enveloped in golden light, and with a long roar, they shattered the clouds. They felt their bodies filled with immense power, as if they could flatten... well, that old man Wen Zhong who had just bullied them with a single punch.

However, they quickly abandoned this idea. This Grand Tutor was going to lead them to achieve great things and a path of wealth and honor. How could they kill him?
Wen Zhong smiled and said, "Thank you, fellow Daoist."

He had already discerned that this immortal possessed a special method that had given his subordinates a transformative power.

"Wen Zhong, you should teach the three generations of disciples of Yu Xu a good lesson and make a name for the three generations of Bi You."

Tianchong, or rather, Tianxu, very unethically outsourced the task given to him by his master Tongtian: "If necessary, I, Tianxu, will come to your aid."

Yu Ding has built such a luxurious lineup for Xiqi. If the Jie Sect makes a big mistake, he might be removed from the team by the flexible promotion and demotion mechanism.

He didn't come here for the Four Future Gods, but to take a picture at this famous Investiture of the Gods site and leave a clone for future use.

Wen Zhong asked in surprise, "Your Excellency could not possibly be..."

But as he spoke, Daoist Tianxu laughed loudly and his figure turned into a beam of light and disappeared.

So it was Junior Uncle… Wen Zhong’s eyes lit up with joy. This Junior Uncle was really something, sneaking around to see him.

He turned and glanced at the four generals: "Let's set up camp here first. I'll help you absorb these four streams of immortal power. Don't waste this senior's good intentions."

……

Furthermore, after Jiang Ziya led his troops to freeze Qishan and defeated Lu Xiong, the military prestige of Xiqi soared, and the hearts of people from all directions turned to him. Heroes and common people from the surrounding areas flocked to join him, bringing about a great period of development for Xiqi.

That day, Jiang Ziya was discussing military affairs at the Prime Minister's residence when a scout came to report: "Reporting to the Prime Minister, another large army has arrived. They are stationed at the North Gate and are flying the banners of the Four Demon Generals of Jiameng Pass."

"The Four Demon Generals?" Jiang Ziya frowned.

"Oh ho, finally some work again."

Nezha, eager to fight, said, "These days have been so boring. Uncle-Master, I'll go and lead the first battle."

Mu Zha laughed and said, "Third brother, you've really shown off before, now it's my turn."

Nezha retorted without hesitation, "Don't you understand the principle of first come, first served?"

Mu Zha's face darkened: "I'm your second brother!"

Nezha said, "Even my second brother won't allow it."

They're really like two little kids... Jiang Ziya was getting a headache from their bickering and shook his head. The older Jinzha and Ao Bing were much more mature.

But when he glanced to the side, his face darkened. He saw Jinzha and Ao Bing staring at each other, neither of them speaking, but there seemed to be sparks flying between them.

"Uncle-Master, please speak!"

Finally, all four of them turned to look at Jiang Ziya.

"My nephew is too powerful, this team is hard to lead..." Jiang Ziya sighed inwardly, thankfully he still listened to his command.
"Um... a few young generals."

The scout cautiously reported, "The enemy has only set up camp and has not yet challenged our army."

The air suddenly became silent.
