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

Chapter 549 Xuan Tan: One Against Twelve Immortals
Jin'ao Island.

Inside a cave, Tianxu was surrounded by pure energy, silently circulating his primordial spirit to comprehend the Dao. Suddenly, he opened his eyes, and his previously tranquil state of mind instantly vanished. He said irritably, "That old Zhao!"

"what?"

On the other side of the cave, Yu Yuan, who was sitting in front of a stone table, biting his pen and scratching his head as he wrote a summary, looked up blankly.

Honestly, he'd rather get beaten up again than write any more of this lousy summary.

Tianxu said, "This is none of your business. How many words are there?"

Yu Yuan cautiously replied, "More than three thousand."

Tianxu said with a stern face, "I'm sorry to trouble you, let me take a look."

Yu Yuan stared at what he had written and slowly got up.

Tianxu said irritably, "Hurry up."

Yu Yuan had no choice but to hand the completed letter to Tian Xu and wait anxiously for the final verdict, while letting out a long sigh in his heart.

Heaven have mercy, the disciples of Biyou are not good at these things, and when have they ever written self-criticisms or summaries?

Since attaining enlightenment, when had Yu Yuan, the Immortal of One Breath, ever been so cautious and humble, not daring to utter a single breath?
He had been defeated many times in his summary, and he was almost driven crazy by this junior uncle these days. He thought that if it still didn't work, he could try going to the Heavenly Court to practice.
"The South Heavenly Gate is guarded by Li Jing, making it the most difficult of the four Heavenly Gates. If you want to enter the Heavenly Court, you must bypass it!"

"Once inside, you must go straight to the target location without stopping for even a moment!"

"Upon encountering the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, he turned and ran..."

After quickly reading the summary, Tianxu glanced at Yu Yuan, who was squeezing an egg, and placed the scroll beside him. He pondered for a moment and said, "The success rate will increase by three percent this time, cough, more than thirty percent. I'll accept this summary. You've passed."

As is well known, the disciples of the Jie Sect are mostly of unusual origin, a mixed bag, not good at writing but good at fighting. It is already quite remarkable that Yu Yuan was able to write all this.

"Your punishment is completely over. From now on, you are free to move around as you please," Tianxu said as he walked outside.

Yu Yuan hurriedly said, "Little..."

"Stop writing 'small'!"

Tianxu suddenly turned his head and stared at Yu Yuan, saying word by word, "How many times have I told you, call him 'Uncle-Master' then, and add the small characters before it to copy the rules a hundred times!"

Startled by that intimidating gaze, Yu Yuan quickly replied, "I understand, Martial Uncle!"

Tianxu then left the cave.

Before long, he arrived at the gate of Biyou Palace. After being announced by the Water and Fire Boys, he went inside and met the Tongtian Sect Leader.

"Disciple Tianxu greets Master. I have important matters to report," Tianxu said, bowing.

Tongtian's figure was still shrouded in chaotic energy. He sat cross-legged in mid-air with his eyes closed, rising and falling, and said calmly, "What is it?"

Tianxu cautiously said, "Senior Brother Zhao went down the mountain to Xiqi."

Upon hearing this, Tongtian's body, which had been bobbing up and down, paused for a moment before resuming its bobbing motion: "Fine, I'll go then!"

Tianxu asked cautiously, "Senior brother, will you be able to come back from there?"

After a long, chaotic fog, Tongtian slowly opened his eyes: "I previously posted an edict outside the palace gates. Anyone who disobeys this instruction will have only themselves to blame, no matter what."

Tianxu seemed to be thinking, "Oh, since Master doesn't care, then this disciple won't care either."

Tongtian glared and shouted, "You wicked brat, how dare you? Have you forgotten why your master named my Dao 'Intercept'?"

Tianxu said, "Disciple has not forgotten that the Great Dao is fifty, the Heavenly Evolution is forty-nine, and the one that is hidden is the source of the world's variables and opportunities. Master uses the Dao of Interception to make us strive to seize a glimmer of hope in the face of our predetermined fate."

Tongtian shouted, "Now that you know it, why don't you intercept it?"

The other apprentices all loved to run away, and when they went out, they were all more arrogant and domineering than the last. But this guy was always very polite when he went out, and he wanted to come back as soon as he left.

He neither went out to take on disciples nor got involved in the Investiture of the Gods calamity; he just stayed at home on Jin'ao Island, watching what Yu Yuan was writing... In conclusion.

No, all three religions have your own people, and He really can't understand what this kid is afraid of.

Tianxu: "(▼ヘ▼#)"

This has given us a hint: it seems our master doesn't want to do something, yet he wants us to do something.

Tongtian gave Tianxu a deep look: "You will cultivate my Dao. When will you stop me, and when will you achieve your goal?"

Tianxu sighed and said, "Master, I have understood, but my cultivation is too low. Even if I want to do something, I am powerless to do it."

"This little rascal..." Tongtian's deep gaze fell on Tianxu. After a moment's thought, he raised his hand and pointed at him with a hint of annoyance. A flash of divine light appeared, and a divine sword appeared in front of Tianxu.

The sword was three feet six and a half inches long, with a black scabbard covered with a blue lotus flower, enveloped in a blue light.

"This is Master's... Qingping Sword?"

Tianxu took the sword with both hands and was taken aback: "If you give it to your disciple, what will Master do?"

Although he did have the idea of ​​getting two magical treasures from his master, he did not expect his master to take out this sword.

Lotus flowers are white, lotus roots are green, lotus leaves are green; the three religions were originally one family!
The three treasures—the Flat-Shouldered Crutch, the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi, and the Green Lotus Sword—are said to have been derived from a single supreme treasure by these three masters. Therefore, the Three Treasures are not only symbols of the three masters but also symbols of the unity of the three religions.

The sword's power is secondary; its symbolic significance is even more remarkable, equivalent to an imperial sword.

Tongtian snorted lightly, his words carrying a hidden meaning: "You don't need to worry about it. If someone is generous, would your master be stingy? Humph!"

This time there's more... Tianxu remembers when his senior uncle Yuanshi bestowed the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi upon Kongxu, Kongxu asked him the same question.

What if the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi was given to him? The senior master's answer was: He still has more.

Seeing his master's angry expression, he felt somewhat helpless. You know, when a person reaches the end of their life, they will see everything clearly. It's only a few decades, at most a hundred years.

These two dignified saints, at such an advanced age, how come they still have such a strong competitive spirit?

Wait a minute… Tianxu looked at the sword in his hand and a thought struck him. He realized, “Wrong, wrong. It’s good to have a strong competitive spirit.”
Tongtian suddenly glanced at Tianxu and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Tianxu's heart tightened, and he immediately focused his mind, quickly bowing deeply: "Master is young and strong, thank you for bestowing this treasure, disciple is leaving now!"

After saying this, he grabbed the sword and made a hasty escape.

Having obtained what I desired, it's no longer wise to linger here.

"That little bastard actually tried to extort money from me."

Tongtian watched Tianxu slip away and suddenly laughed and cursed, his deep gaze slowly closing: "What has been done will surely be done again; what has been done will surely be done again? Ha!"

……

In the reed huts outside Xiqi City.

"The Taoist Riding a Tiger? Who is this deity that Wen Zhong has invited this time?"

Upon hearing this, the people of Yuxu exchanged glances, their eyes revealing only a hint of doubt.

Now that things have come to this, no matter who comes, they have to fight it out; from the very beginning, they had no way out.

Yu Ding said, "The visitor is Zhao Gongming from Luofu Cave on Mount Emei!"

"How did you know?" Ran Deng asked, somewhat surprised.

It wouldn't be difficult for him to discover that it was Zhao Gongming given his level of cultivation, but the fact that Yu Ding also knew was somewhat surprising to him.

Could it be that the jade cauldron's cultivation has been fully restored...?

As the thought flashed through Ran Deng's mind, Yu Ding smiled and said, "I saw it when I came back."

Lantern: "..."

"Why is Zhao Gongming here?"

"Perhaps they've come to support Wen Zhong."

“That makes sense. He is in charge of the Biyou Sect members outside the sect, and he is extremely protective of his own. He often stands up for the Biyou Sect members and makes decisions for them.”

Upon hearing that Zhao Gongming had arrived, everyone's expressions immediately turned serious, and they all started talking at once.

Although the two religions had a poor relationship, they had never fought a war, so neither side had ever clashed. However, Zhao Gongming attained enlightenment during the reign of the Heavenly Emperor and his cultivation was profound, far surpassing that of the Four Saints and Ten Heavenly Lords of Kowloon Island.

In terms of skill level, apart from Master Ran Deng, everyone else present would probably have to rely on their own special weapons to defeat Zhao Gongming.

Randeng pondered for a moment and said, "Ziya, Huanglong, since Zhao Gongming specifically named you two to go, go and see what he has to say."

Both of them simply agreed.

Huang Long transmitted his voice: "Hey, Yu Ding, why is my eyelid suddenly twitching nonstop? I'm feeling a little panicked."

Yu Ding asked in surprise, "Which way?"

Huang Long said, "On the right side, although I'm not very proficient in blood physiognomy, I seem to have heard that a twitching left eye means good fortune and a twitching right eye means good fortune..."

Ding!
Guang Chengzi tapped the jade chime to signal them not to dawdle. Huang Long's face fell, but he didn't dare to argue. He simply transmitted his voice, "Yu Ding, if anything unexpected happens, remember to come and help me."

"sure!"

Yu Ding gave him a reassuring look.

Jiang Ziya received the order, disembarked from the reed hut, and rode the Four-Unlikes and the Yellow Dragon into battle, guarded by Ao Bing, Lei Zhenzi, Huang Tianhua, and Jinmu Nezha.

On the opposite side, a Taoist priest sat atop a black tiger. Seeing the group emerge, Zhao Gongming loudly chanted: "Heaven and earth, black and yellow, cultivate morality; the primordial universe, refine the primordial spirit. Tiger and dragon roar, gathering wind and clouds in the cauldron; black and rabbit maneuver..."

"Stop, stop, stop! Zhao Gongming, we all know each other, so don't put on airs," Huang Long interrupted.

Zhao Gongming's face immediately darkened when he was interrupted, and he felt extremely uncomfortable.

Huanglong, the senior brother, can be quite hateful at times... Jiang Ziya couldn't help but think.

Zhao Gongming pointed his steel whip and said, "You broke through the six formations of my Biyou Palace, relied on your Taoist arts to harm my five friends, and even hung Zhao Jiang on a reed hut. You have gone too far. Today, I will go down the mountain and settle things with you Yuxu disciples."

Huang Long said, "Back then, the three religions jointly signed the Investiture of the Gods. The three masters said that the names on the list belonged to all three religions, and that the truth would only be revealed after death. It seems that you are also on the list, having come here to seek your own death."

"Huanglong, you son of a bitch..." Upon hearing this, Zhao Gongming could no longer hold back. He raised his hand and unleashed his steel whip, which emitted a dazzling celestial light and auspicious clouds, illuminating the world like a divine sun as it struck down at Huanglong.

"Hey, we agreed to meet up, Zhao Gongming, why didn't you follow the rules and resort to violence?"

Huanglong grew anxious, let out a long roar, and his body surged with immortal light, transforming into the true form of Yinglong. With a divine dragon tail swing, he collided with the steel whip, causing the sky to collapse and the earth to split. Several points of divine light splashed out and turned into dragon scales, and the steel whip was also whipped away.

When Zhao Gongming saw that Huanglong had revealed its true form, he sneered and flipped his hand, revealing a coiled, glowing rope in his palm. He then raised it towards the sky, and it immediately glowed and flew up, binding the enormous Yinglong tightly. It was then taken away in mid-air and fell to the ground, transforming into human form.

"Senior brother?"

"Uncle?"

Huanglong's defeat in a single blow surprised Jiang Ziya and the younger generation. They had thought they could fight for a while longer, but they never expected that he would be captured in just one exchange.

Huang Long blushed, then suddenly noticed the ropes binding him and exclaimed angrily, "Oh dear, this treasure is my weakness!" After capturing Huang Long, Zhao Gongming glanced at Jiang Ziya, who was trying to escape. He snorted coldly and unleashed his steel whip once more. Its dazzling light struck Jiang Ziya like a meteor before anyone could react.

"puff!"

Jiang Ziya coughed up a mouthful of blood, collapsed behind the Four-Faced Beast, and fell into a coma, barely breathing.

"Uncle Master!"

Seeing that Zhao Gongming was about to make a move, Lei Zhenzi, Nezha, Ao Bing, Jinzha, Muzha, and Huang Tianhua each stepped forward to stop him, unleashing their overwhelming power and pushing their cultivation to the limit.

boom!
The crowd surrounded Zhao Gongming and launched an attack. At times, divine light shone brightly, flames soared into the sky, thunder roared, and sword light crisscrossed. The intense divine light enveloped the area.

"Oh no, a fight has broken out outside!"

Seeing the commotion, everyone was about to rush over, with Taiyi being the fastest.

Suddenly, the four-legged creatures carried Jiang Ziya to the group.

Taiyi checked Ziya's breath and his expression changed. He looked at everyone and said, "Ziya is dead!"

Yes, they died. I carried them over after they stopped breathing... Sibyl thought silently.

Guang Chengzi laughed and said, "Don't panic, Ziya was destined for this calamity."

He calmly took out a magic pill and said, "You all can go and help them first. I will come back after I rescue Ziya."

So this time, you were the one who saved me... Si Bu Xiang's heart stirred. He knew without thinking that it was the mastermind behind it.

"Okay, let's go!"

The group hurriedly disembarked from the reed shelter and headed towards the front of the battle formation.

Outside.

"Hahaha, that was great, that was great! No wonder Xiao Wen couldn't beat you guys, you really do have some skills."

Zhao Gongming appeared completely ordinary and without any unusual signs, yet he seemed extremely relaxed: "Your spear technique is too chaotic, and unfortunately, it lacks power. Your lightning technique is not bad, but your wind wings are not good. Your double hammers are more for show than practical use... However, I am not here to play with you juniors today. I will call your master instead!"

During the battle, Zhao Gongming struck Nezha with his whip, knocking his Wind and Fire Wheels off his body. He then used another whip to knock away Huang Tianhua's twin hammers, causing him to fall from his jade unicorn. Finally, he struck Lei Zhenzi with his golden cudgel, sending him flying...

Soon everyone was beaten to a pulp, looking at each other in shock and speechless. Only Ao Bing was still fighting hard with his trump card axe.

"Hey, kid with the axe, you're pretty good."

Zhao Gongming smiled and said, "Your future achievements are limitless. Who is your master?"

This kid is the strongest among those young people, and his physical body is also very strong. When the opponent's axe hits him, it can't break through his protective divine light. His steel whip, which can shatter Mount Tai, hits the other person as if nothing happened.

That's a bit outrageous!
"Thank you for your praise, fellow Daoist. Ao Bing is indeed my disciple."

Suddenly, a voice came from ahead, and it was seen that Randeng, riding a deer, had arrived with all the immortals except Guangchengzi.

Yu Ding glanced at the injured Nezha and the others, smiled and bowed, saying, "Thank you for your mercy towards my nephews, fellow Daoist."

"It's Yu Ding's disciples again..." Zhao Gongming's smile froze as he said, "I've come to find you this time. With my cultivation, I wouldn't stoop to harming a bunch of juniors."

Yang Jian and Long Ji were already outstanding enough, so when did Yu Ding teach such a terrifying disciple?

"Master!"

Upon seeing his master arrive, Nezha, who had just been beaten and suffered a loss, pouted and intentionally or unintentionally revealed the clothes that had been torn by the steel whip and the skin underneath.

Jinzha, Muzha, and Huang Tianhua also silently called out "Master".

"Zhao Gongming!"

Taiyi looked at the injuries on his disciple and said angrily, "This humble Taoist will have a go at you."

"Hey, Taiyi, stop..."

Yu Ding wanted to call out to Taiyi, but Zhao Gongming was so fierce that whoever went up against him would get beaten up. He suggested that the taller person go first.

He glanced silently at the figure of the lamplighter ahead.

But when Taiyi saw that his disciple was injured, no one could stop him. With a flick of his whisk, a flash of immortal light appeared, and it transformed into a celestial sword that went straight for Zhao Gongming.

Zhao Gongming let out a long roar, leaped into the air, and dismounted from his mount. His aura surged, but he did not change his appearance. However, his aura was overwhelming, as if it would split the heavens and the earth.

Boom!Boom!Boom!
Sword energy surged and clashed with steel whips as the two engaged in a fierce battle in mid-air, their terrifying aura overwhelming everything.

Zhao Gongming's cultivation was higher than Taiyi's, so he could control these world-destroying fluctuations and send them to the Shang camp. On the Xiqi side, only Randeng and others appeared to stabilize the world.

After exchanging blows for several rounds, Zhao Gongming flipped his hand and revealed a precious pearl that emitted countless divine lights that were difficult to look at directly. Taiyi merely raised his hand to cover himself when the pearl struck him in the chest, as if he had been hit more than twenty times in succession. He coughed up blood and fell to the ground.

Just as Zhao Gongming was about to take advantage of Taiyi's illness and kill him, Chijingzi and Yuding rushed forward.

The two exchanged a glance, both surprised that the other had come out. Then, their eyes met and they immediately discussed their plan.

"Zhao Gongming, please do not harm my fellow Daoist."

Chi Jingzi shouted and charged at Zhao Gongming with his sword. Yu Ding then went up and quickly helped Taiyi, whose face was as white as paper, back to the camp. He fed Taiyi a spiritual pill and placed his hand behind his back to dissolve the medicinal power.

"Master, how are you?" Nezha hurriedly stepped forward and knelt beside Taiyi.

In the past, no matter what trouble he caused or what mistakes he made, this master always had a solution or could resolve the situation for him; he was practically omnipotent.

He had hoped to play the victim and get his master to vent his anger, but little did he know that his adversary would be so formidable.

With the help of the jade cauldron, Taiyi quickly regained some color in his face, opened his eyes, touched Nezha's head, and weakly smiled, "Don't worry, I won't die."

Just then, another loud bang was heard in the sky, as if the heavens and earth were collapsing, followed by gasps from the crowd.

Yu Ding and Tai Yi looked over and saw that Chi Jingzi was being treated the same way by Zhao Gongming. Zhao Gongming used the bead to knock the dust off, and then Zhao Gongming picked up the steel whip and smashed it on Chi Jingzi's forehead.

If that hits hard, his head will definitely crack open.

"Zhao Gongming, don't hurt my fellow Daoist!"

Just as everyone was about to rush to the rescue, a voice rang out and a sword light flashed from afar. It was Guang Chengzi, who had saved Jiang Ziya, who stepped forward to meet Zhao Gongming.

This old Zhao… Yu Ding was somewhat moved, but he didn’t forget to seize the opportunity to curry favor. He quickly stepped forward, helped up the weak Chi Jingzi, brought him back to the camp, and took out some medicine to treat him.

He was physically strong, possessed powerful magical artifacts, had a strong will, and acted decisively. If it weren't for the fact that there were many of them on their side who were able to rescue him in time, several of them would definitely have perished at his hands.

"Thank you very much, Junior Brother Yu Ding!"

Chi Jingzi glanced at the crowd in front of him and thanked them with emotion. It's true that you only know who you can rely on when you're in trouble.

A group of people at their peak, standing there like wooden stakes, actually managed to get Yu Ding, a wounded cultivator with diminished cultivation, to come and rescue him and Taiyi.

Sorry!
Yu Ding smiled and said, "It's good that Senior Brother is alright."

As they were talking, Zhao Gongming was originally willing to exchange blows for two rounds before unleashing his treasure, but seeing that Yu Xu had more people than him, he directly exchanged two blows with his weapons and unleashed his treasure when it came to Guang Chengzi's turn.

Boom boom boom——

Guang Chengzi felt as if he had been hit more than twenty times in the chest, and he vomited blood and flew backward.

This time, without further ado, Qingxu Daode Zhenjun rushed forward to save Guangchengzi, and Yuding seized the opportunity to do him a favor by snatching Guangchengzi back and feeding him the elixir.

Before he could even vent his anger for Guang Chengzi, another loud bang echoed in the sky, and Qingxu Daode Zhenjun was knocked down again, replaced by Daoxing Tianzun.

Just as Yu Ding was rescuing the Pure Void Moral True Lord, the Heavenly Daoist Venerable, he was knocked down to the dust.

The Grand Master Lingbao has arrived.

The Grand Master Lingbao was struck down to the ground...

Cihang Daoren has arrived!

Cihang Daoren was beaten and fell to the ground...

Manjushri, the Heavenly Venerable of Extensive Dharma, has ascended!

Manjushri, the Heavenly Venerable of Vast Dharma, was struck and fell to the ground...

The wounded sat cross-legged on the ground in a row, with their hands placed on the back of the person in front of them. Yu Ding helped the last person calm their turbulent blood and qi, neutralize the medicinal effects, and treat their injuries.

"Teacher, what kind of treasure does Zhao Gongming wield that is so powerful?" Manjushri Bodhisattva asked with a wry smile.

Dipankara frowned and shook his head: "I just used my Dharma Eye to observe it, but I only saw five-colored divine light flashing. I couldn't see it very clearly. It seemed to be some kind of bead, but I don't know what kind of treasure it is. What about you?"

"We couldn't see what it was either." Everyone shook their heads.

Guang Chengzi smiled wryly: "Although it is the same thing, when it hits the body, it is like a raging wave crashing on the table. The force of each strike is stronger than the last. After more than twenty strikes, it is really powerful."

"Yes, yes, I felt it too..."

"me too!"

The victims all spoke up, and just as they were talking, another loud bang was heard in the sky. Ju Liusun was hit and the huge Dharma image behind him shattered. He coughed up blood and rolled on the ground, crying, "Save me!"

Ju Liusun looked anxiously at the immortals and saw Zhao Gongming coming down with a steel whip.

"Smash this little fat black guy's head..." Yu Ding thought to himself. He could improve his relationship with Manjushri, but he had no good feelings towards this little fat black guy.

When he first went to Yuxu Palace after losing all his cultivation, the gaze of Ju Liusun made him very uncomfortable.

"stop!"

Randeng brandished the Qiankun Ruler, its innate divine light shining brightly, blocking Zhao Gongming's whip. He shouted, "You won, fine, but you still want to take a life in front of me? Do you not take me, Randeng, seriously?"

"Is it finally your turn?"

Zhao Gongming sneered, "If you're not convinced, then come up and fight me."

He picked off all twelve Jade Void Immortals except for Jade Cauldron. Although it was a pity he didn't kill them, he still managed to vent his anger for the Jie Sect.

Yu Ding was sensible enough not to try to stand up for himself, otherwise he would have been forced to lie down too.

Suddenly, Ran Deng shouted, "Zhao Gongming, you have defied the will of Heaven and acted against Heaven. Your name will surely be on the Investiture of the Gods."

Zhao Gongming was taken aback by this sudden remark, then reacted and cursed, "You son of a bitch!"

Just as he was about to take up his whip and fight, Ran Deng had already slapped his mount, the Spirit Deer, and soared into the air, heading southwest.

Zhao Gongming glanced at the injured twelve immortals, and Ao Bing, Lei Zhenzi, and the others immediately became alert and stepped forward to protect them.

"Get out of my way!"

Yu Ding's face showed a rare seriousness: "Brother Zhao, there is a saying that if you leave a way out for others, you are also leaving a way out for yourself."

If you, Lao Zhao, really want to achieve the feat of taking on twelve people at once, then Yu Ding will have to come and protect the last vestige of glory for the group of the Twelve Immortals of Jade Void.
