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

Chapter 550 Relying on the Jade Cauldron is less reliable than relying on oneself.

Of course, Yu Ding's words were also a genuine attempt to give Zhao Gongming a chance.

If Zhao Gongming really intended to kill them, and Randeng escaped while he stood by and did nothing... do you think his master would come down the mountain?
Of course, after his master goes down the mountain, he will probably deal with Lao Zhao and then punish Lao Deng and him as well.

"Fellow disciples, don't forget, I'm still here."

After negotiating with Zhao Gongming, Yu Ding didn't forget to open the 'public channel' to send a telepathic message to Guang Chengzi and the others: "Don't worry!"

rest assured?

All the immortals: "..."

Zhao Gongming used some kind of magic weapon, but its power was indeed formidable. It not only caused their blood and qi to surge, but also damaged their primordial spirits, putting them at their most vulnerable moment.

Of course, although there is still a group of juniors and an uninjured Yu Ding here, these juniors have just been beaten, so it's best not to count on them.

If the younger generation can't be relied upon, then Yu Ding is the one to rely on.
"Don't take any chances, everyone. Prepare your magic weapons and be ready to save yourselves. If Zhao Gongming makes a move, we'll fight him to the death!"

Guang Chengzi's voice rang in everyone's ears. Of course, Guang Chengzi also deliberately avoided Yu Ding so as not to offend Yu Ding's face.

The others listened and nodded slightly to indicate that they understood.

If Zhao Gongming is truly determined to kill them, who would dare place their hopes on Yu Ding?

Relying on the Jade Cauldron... it's better to rely on their own resources.

At least you feel a little more at ease if you help yourself.

When Yu Ding was at his peak, his cultivation level was similar to theirs, and they were still beaten to such a terrible state. Yu Ding probably wouldn't fare much better if he went up there, let alone the weakened Yu Ding with his cultivation level reduced to a mere pit.

They might as well give it their own shot!
"Everyone, remember this!"

Taiyi transmitted a message through the public channel: "Zhao Gongming has extremely high awareness. We must strike first. Once we start fighting, he won't give you a chance to use your magic weapon."

His words seemed to be a reminder to everyone, but at the same time, they were also a reminder to Yu Ding.

Because only he knew that Yu Ding's magical power had been restored, and striking first might not necessarily mean there was no chance of victory.

"Yes, yes, that bastard Zhao Gongming is extremely fast. We can't hesitate. We must defeat him in one strike, or we will be countered."

"He's fast, so we have to be faster. I shouldn't have hesitated just now; I should have just smashed the Heaven-Turning Seal into his forehead."

"I was completely bound by his steel whip and had no chance to use my magic weapon."

This statement was unanimously agreed upon by the others and received a warm response.

Yu Ding chuckled inwardly after hearing this. Their cultivation level and magical power were inferior to Zhao Gongming's, and their only chance of victory lay in their magic weapons.

In this primordial world, such powerful magical artifacts can sometimes play a crucial role in defeating enemies and overcoming the strong with the weak in battle.

They had all thought of this, but Zhao Gongming had obviously thought of it as well, so he anticipated their predictions and knocked them to the ground before they could even take out their magic weapons.

Zhao Gongming obviously couldn't hear the internal conversations among the immortals of Jade Void.

He stared at the Twelve Immortals of Jade Void, who were healing their wounds and had little power to resist, his face fierce and his eyes occasionally flashing with a murderous light.

Clearly, now is the best opportunity to kill the Twelve Immortals.

When the Chan Sect killed their Biyou disciples, they acted decisively and without hesitation. Logically, he should have retaliated in kind.

However, Yu Ding's words did have some effect on him...

Even the Heavenly Lamp dared not truly abandon the Twelve Immortals and flee. Seeing that Zhao Gongming was not pursuing them, it shouted, "If you and I fight, this place will be destroyed. If you have the guts, come with me and let's find a place to fight!"

"Afraid you won't succeed?"

Zhao Gongming coldly shouted, raised his sleeve, and a talisman flew out and landed on Huanglong's crown chakra, sealing his Niwan Palace and primordial spirit.

Then he put away the Dragon-Binding Rope, kicked the Yellow Dragon away, sending it flying in a beautiful parabola as it landed beside Wen Zhong and the others behind him.

"Hang the Yellow Dragon high up for me too."

Zhao Gongming said in a deep voice, "Hang him higher than Zhao Jiang and give him thirty more lashes. We will take back what they have done to humiliate the people of Biyou Sect."

"okay!"

Wen Zhongxing pointed his golden whip at Huanglong and said excitedly, "Hang him up and beat him."

Dong Tianjun smiled, squatted down, patted Huang Long's face, and sneered, "You still need to beat him hard, beat him until he's smoking."

Huang Long shouted angrily, "You dare?!"

"You're a prisoner, what wouldn't we dare to do?"

"Hey, Huanglong, you've finally met your match!"

The remaining Heavenly Lords gathered around and pointed at Huanglong, filling the place with a joyful atmosphere.

After suffering multiple defeats and losing many players, they finally got to hold their heads high today.

Yao Tianjun revealed a sinister smile: "Look, your fellow disciples are right across from you. Go ahead and call for them to come and save you."

"Shout! Shout!" the others laughed.

"Jade……"

Huang Long was about to shout for Yu Ding to save him, but seeing the expressions around him, he knew that Yu Ding was up to no good: "Immortals can be killed but not humiliated!"

After he finished speaking, he shut his mouth and refused to say another word.

Ignoring the crowd, Zhao Gongming turned around, mounted the black tiger, and soared into the sky with a gust of wind beneath its claws. He raised his whip and shouted, "Randeng, don't run away! Today I will settle this with you!"

This old lamp was indeed premeditated... Yu Ding watched as the two left one after the other in the direction of Wuyi Mountain, and a strange smile appeared on his face.

But it's okay, I still have him.

Upon seeing this, the Twelve Immortals of Jade Void opened their eyes and all breathed a sigh of relief, feeling their heads covered in sweat.

How many years!

They couldn't remember the last time they had felt this dangerous and tense.

Ao Bing said, "Uncle-Master, how is everyone now? We shouldn't stay here any longer. Can we wait until we get back to heal our wounds?"

"Okay, let's go back first!" everyone said.

Nezha asked, "What about Uncle-Master Huanglong?"

Ju Liusun said, "We'll talk about it when we get back."

Lei Zhenzi said, "But Master Huanglong is being beaten."

Ju Liusun scolded, "You go to rescue them? Are you sure you can do it?"

Lei Zhenzi silently retreated after being reprimanded.

Taiyi frowned, and Yuding laughed, "If he can't do it, then the senior brother should take his place."

He felt that this little fat man treated people differently depending on who they were dealing with, perhaps because Lei Zhenzi's master was not around, so he treated Nezha and Lei Zhenzi very differently.

Ju Liusun's face darkened: "Yu Ding, what do you mean by that?"

Yu Ding laughed and said, "It doesn't mean anything. I just think that you are so old, why are you getting angry with a fifteen-year-old kid? It's unnecessary."

Ju Liusun said in a deep voice, "Who lost their temper with him? Everyone is injured now, so we can't worry about Huanglong. We need to go back and discuss this further. Did I misspoke?"

This guy is fifteen years old... On the contrary, everyone else was stunned when they saw Lei Zhenzi, who was as tall as a small tower.

If Yu Ding hadn't mentioned it, they really wouldn't have expected that such a big guy was so young. This unexpected cuteness made even the immortals who were used to grand scenes look a little strange.

Yu Ding laughed and said, "That's true. You may not know, but I watched Lei Zhenzi grow up from a young age and even trained him, so I'd consider myself half his mentor."

After listening, everyone nodded slightly, their expressions varied, but what they were really thinking was only known to themselves.

Seeing that Yu Ding was backing him up, Lei Zhenzi grinned sheepishly.

Yu Ding glanced at the yellow dragon that had been hung up and said, "As for the yellow dragon... it's alright, we'll talk about it when we get back."

Ao Bing and the others escorted the group back to Lupeng.

Meanwhile, Zhao Gongming's black tiger, with its four claws stirring up wind and clouds, galloped wildly through the sky, roaring like a beast, chasing after the immortal deer under Randeng's mount, whose hooves were almost sparking, and the distance between them was constantly closing.

Seeing this, Ran Deng raised his hand and spat on his mount's rump. Instantly, the celestial deer leaped forward, widening the distance considerably. The two continued their chase for a long time.
Suddenly, Ran Deng patted the immortal deer and sent it down into a mountain below, where it landed on a hillside.

On the slope stands an ancient pine tree, beneath which two people play chess, while one person watches.

The chess players, one dressed in blue and the other in red, were none other than Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao. The spectators were dressed in black and white robes. Upon hearing the noise, the three looked up and saw the Daoist Ran Deng rushing over.

Why is the teacher so panicked?

The two had already met Randeng before and recognized him, so they quickly stood up to ask him what was wrong.

"Oh, it's you two. And this is... "

Ran Deng breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the two people, but a strange glint flashed in his eyes as he looked at the other person, whom he had never seen before.

He was dressed in a non-Taoist style, with black on the left and white on the right, and white hair on the left and black on the right, which was extremely strange.

Xiao Sheng smiled somewhat awkwardly, "This is Fellow Daoist Nangong Li, the Black and White Scholar. We both cultivate here in Wuyi Mountain."

He felt helpless when he talked about it. He and Cao Bao had discovered that a treasure would be born in the mountains, so they set up a magic array to guard it.

As they expected, the appearance of the treasure did not cause a great stir, but it did attract the attention of this person who was also cultivating here.

The man appeared and immediately offered to split the spoils. The two men, who had been waiting for him for so long, refused. Naturally, they fought, and the two of them fought him to a standstill, neither able to gain the upper hand.

But none of them could bear to part with their precious treasure, so in the end they had no choice but to agree that the treasure would belong to the three of them, and they would cultivate together here, passing the days in leisure.

"Fellow Daoist Nangong, this is the Great Immortal Burning Lamp of Jade Void," Cao Bao introduced earnestly.

Ran Deng laughed and said, "Not at all, not at all."

Nangong Li bowed in surprise and said, "Oh my, it is the great immortal Randeng, the vice leader of the Chan Sect, one of the three major sects of today. I have heard so much about you."

The two bowed to each other in greeting, their faces beaming with smiles, exuding an indescribable amiability.

Then, Randeng embellished the story of Zhao Gongming coming to help Wen Zhong attack Xiqi.

Just then, a tiger roared, and Ran Deng said, "He's here."

As expected, with the sudden gust of wind, Zhao Gongming landed on his tiger and saw Ran Deng standing beside the three of them. He said, "Who are you? Why don't you move aside? Do you want to meddle in this business?"

Xiao Sheng said, "I am Xiao Sheng, Cao Bao, and Dongfang Ming, the wandering immortals of Wuyi Mountain. Zhao Gongming, you are going against the will of Heaven without even realizing it, yet you rely on your strength to pursue and attack, which is too much for Master Ran Deng. How can we sit idly by and do nothing?"

Cao Baozheng said with a righteous air, "That's right, we're determined to meddle in this matter."

Nangong Li took a barely perceptible step back.

Zhao Gongming, who had been chasing after them all the way, was furious when two rogue immortals suddenly appeared and took his side, even hurling insults at him. He couldn't stand it any longer and roared, "You're asking for death!"

He was too lazy to waste words with two nameless nobodys, so he took out the Dragon Binding Rope and unleashed it at the two men. Instantly, a dragon appeared and bound them together.

"Be careful!" Ran Deng hurriedly said. Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao exchanged a smile, and Cao Bao comforted them, "Teacher, don't panic."

Xiao Sheng reached into the leopard skin pouch with his right index and middle fingers, pulled out a glittering golden coin, as if cast from gold, with two small wings, and threw it out.

When Ran Deng saw this treasure, his eyes lit up immediately.

However, this scene was witnessed by Nangong Li, who seemed to sense something and turned around to look. Nangong Li smiled and said, "Great Immortal, this treasure is called the Treasure-Dropping Coin."

The Dragon-Binding Rope lost its luster upon encountering the money, as if it had lost its spirit, and fell to the ground along with the money. Cao Bao quickly stepped forward and picked it up.

"My magic weapon..." Zhao Gongming exclaimed in surprise.

He had never seen anything so bizarre before. No matter how he made hand seals or chanted incantations for the magic weapon, the Dragon Binding Rope vanished without a trace, like a mud ox sinking into the sea, and he could no longer sense it.

Zhao Gongming was furious and said, "How dare this evil Taoist take my magic weapon?"

He flipped his palm, and a dazzling five-colored light appeared, with thousands of auspicious clouds. After he unleashed it, it went straight for Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao.

Xiao Sheng smiled slightly and threw out the Treasure Coin again. The dazzling divine light immediately dissipated and turned into a string of red beads, each the size of a fist, which fell to the ground.

"Good darling..." Ran Deng watched the money being used very carefully, his eyes sparkling with admiration.

Just as Cao Bao was about to pick it up again, a black and white figure beside him was faster, flashing forward and snatching the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl into his hand before returning. Cao Bao had no choice but to give up.

"what!"

Upon losing the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl again, Zhao Gongming let out a long roar, instantly causing the mountains and earth to shake and rumble. He was furious, his eyes turned icy, and he raised his hand to unleash his divine whip. Ten thousand rays of divine light burst forth as if to crush the heavens and earth, crashing down on Xiao Sheng with astonishing force.

Clearly, Zhao Gongming was truly enraged.

Xiao Sheng smiled calmly, raised his hand and offered up the coin to meet the steel whip, but the coin flapped its wings and dodged to the side.

"what!"

Xiao Sheng's expression changed drastically as he watched the divine whip. He cried out in terror, but was immediately covered by the whip and crashed down. The earth shook and dust flew everywhere. Xiao Sheng was nowhere to be seen.

"Brother Tao!"

Cao Bao cried out, looking at Xiao Sheng's body, now nothing but bones, and then at the money flying into his hand, he asked in disbelief, "Why is this happening? Why?"

Unfortunately, those who know the answer won't be able to answer him, and those who don't know the answer can't answer him either.

Randeng frowned in thought. He had thought he understood the treasure's wonderful use, but this sudden scene was beyond his expectations.

As expected... Nangong Li looked at the money that flew automatically into Cao Bao's hand and a deep meaning flashed in his eyes. He was right not to kill and steal the treasure but to wait in line for it.

The fact that Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao were able to obtain this treasure shows that they were destined to have it, but their fates were not fortunate enough to enjoy it. Moreover, the treasure was imbued with a spirit, and its owners were determined by who came first and who came last.

When Xiao Sheng died, it was Cao Bao's turn; when Cao Bao died, it was his turn... Luckily, he was in line early.

"Ok?"

Even Zhao Gongming was slightly taken aback when he saw Xiao Sheng killed so easily. He didn't expect Xiao Sheng to die so hastily, and he also didn't expect that the opponent's treasure would suddenly... malfunction!
But none of that matters. Zhao Gongming glared at Cao Bao and Nangong Li, his eyes icy cold, and said, "Give me back my treasure!"

"Give me back my brother's life!" Cao Bao roared angrily.

"court death!"

Zhao Gongming said no more and was about to make a move when suddenly, with a "whoosh," a sharp Qiankun Ruler appeared behind him as a streak of lightning, striking towards his head.

Zhao Gongming noticed the commotion and hurriedly dodged to the side, but he was still hit on the shoulder, leaving him bloodied and mangled, and he almost fell off the tiger.

The Qiankun Ruler flew back into Randeng's hand, stained with blood.

"mean!"

Zhao Gongming gritted his teeth and glared, his shoulders gleaming as he quickly recovered. He glanced at Cao Bao, a hint of fear in his eyes, and sighed dejectedly, "Let's go!"

He slung his legs together and walked away without any hesitation.

The opponent's magic weapon was strange, and they stole it from him. There was also a despicable man named Ran Deng nearby. He was bound to suffer a loss if he stayed there alone, so he left decisively.

This ancient magical treasure has a tremendous effect. Just like before, even without the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl and the Dragon-Binding Rope, he could still defeat the Twelve Immortals; it just took him a little longer.

However, without his magic weapon, his chances of winning against Ran Deng are extremely low.

Seeing Zhao Gongming escape, Randengxialu bowed and said, "Thank you for your help, fellow Daoist. It's just a pity that Fellow Daoist Xiao met with misfortune; my heart is uneasy."

Cao Bao said, "We were just doing this out of boredom. We acted because we were indignant at the arrogance of the Biyou Sect. We never expected that Brother Xiao would fall victim to Zhao Gongming's cruelty. Hey, Brother Nangong, please be gentle when you're sorting through Brother Xiao's belongings. I'll help you too."

The two 'sadly' packed up Xiao Sheng's belongings, dividing them into two sets for easier mourning.

Ran Deng asked, "By the way, just now Zhao Gongming raised two treasures to take you all. I saw a coin rise up, and the treasures fell down with it. Fellow Daoist, you hurriedly put them away. Why was that?"

As Cao Bao tidied up, he said, "This treasure is called the Falling Treasure Coin, but I don't know the names of Gongming's two items."

He took out the Dragon-Binding Rope.

After examining it, Ran Deng exclaimed, "This is the Dragon-Binding Rope!"

Then he looked at Nangong Li, but Nangong Li ignored him and continued to take care of Xiao Sheng's funeral arrangements.

Cao Bao, who already intended to curry favor with Randeng and curry favor with the Chan Sect, quickly reminded him, "Brother Nangong, take out the treasures you obtained and show them to our teacher."

Nangong Li said, "It's just a magic weapon, what's so interesting about it?"

Ran Deng's expression darkened slightly, and Cao Bao quickly said, "Take it out and let us see."

Nangong Li glanced at Randeng and sneered inwardly, then took out the Dinghai Pearl.

Upon seeing the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl, Randeng's eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands in delight, exclaiming, "I have finally seen this treasure today! My path to enlightenment is complete!"

Cao Bao hurriedly asked, "What do you mean by that, teacher?"

"This treasure is called the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl. Since the beginning of time, this pearl has shone brightly, illuminating Xuandu. Later, it disappeared without a trace, and no one knew who it fell into. It turns out that it was in the hands of Zhao Gongming."

Ran Deng smiled, clearly delighted, "I am fortunate to have met several fellow Daoists who have acquired this treasure today. Just looking at it has made me feel refreshed and invigorated. It is truly a wonderful treasure, a wonderful treasure indeed."

Cao Bao glanced at Nangong Li and suggested, "Brother Nangong, our teacher has been searching for this treasure for many years, and it would be of great help to his enlightenment. Why don't we let him keep it?"

Ran Deng quickly declined, saying, "No, no, as the saying goes, one should not accept a reward without merit. How dare I accept such a treasure from you two fellow Daoists when I have done nothing wrong?"

Nangong Li glanced at the two who were singing in unison. With these words, he was practically being put on a pedestal. If anyone was sensible, they would have offered up the treasure with both hands.

Unfortunately, he was immature.

He smiled and took the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl back from Ran Deng's hand, saying, "Brother Cao, you are generous, but unfortunately I am poor. I can't bear to part with such a primordial spiritual treasure as the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl."

The smile on Ran Deng's face froze.

Seeing Ran Deng's expression, Cao Bao still wanted to persuade him, "Brother Nangong..."

Nangong Li interrupted him: "Brother Cao, don't forget our agreement."

Cao Bao seemed to choke on his words and had no choice but to shut up and stop talking.

Ran Deng hurriedly replied with a smile, "No problem, no problem. What are your plans for the future, fellow Daoists?"

Cao Bao said, "What plans can an idle person like me have, wasting my days and months? Hmm, I just heard you say that Zhao Gongming is attacking Xiqi. If you don't mind, how about I go and lend you a hand?"

Cao Bao, Cao Bao, what a good-for-nothing! His name was prescient... Nangong Li shook his head inwardly. Who would rush to their death?

Randeng has his eye on the two treasures, the Fallen Treasure Coin and the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl. Even if they don't say anything now, Randeng is probably already thinking about how to lure them to their deaths in Xiqi.

Sure enough, Ran Deng exclaimed with delight, "I couldn't be happier! Fellow Daoist Nangong..."

Cao Bao smiled and said, "Don't worry, teacher, we always act together."

As agreed, the falling treasure coins belonged to the three of them, while whoever caught the falling treasure kept it.

The three of them immediately went to Xiqi and arrived at Lupeng, where the twelve immortals rose to greet them.

Randeng recounted his encounter with Xiao Sheng, and everyone sighed at the loss of such a fellow Daoist.

Ran Deng then said, "The object that Zhao Gongming used to injure you all was the Dinghai Pearl."

"So that's what it was. No wonder."

After hearing this, everyone gave each other a wry smile. No wonder it felt like they had been attacked more than twenty times and could barely get up.

The Sea-Stabilizing Pearl can be a single pearl or a string of twenty-four pearls, with each pearl possessing the power of an entire sea.

"Having lost both the Dragon-Binding Rope and the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl, let's see how arrogant Zhao Gongming is this time," Taiyi said with a smile.

The others nodded and smiled at each other, applauding the gesture.

At this moment, the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl was in Yu Ding's hands. Yu Ding examined the treasure and smiled, but not because Zhao Gongming had lost the treasure, but because the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl had fallen into Nangong Li's hands.

Once it's in Nangong Li's hands... it's the same as if it were in his hands.

Anyway, as long as it doesn't fall into the hands of Ran Deng, that's good news.

Burning Lamp is now a Great Luo Golden Immortal. A Great Luo Golden Immortal who severs the Three Corpses and merges with the Dao is a Quasi-Saint, and can also be called an Ancestor. For example, the Styx Ancestor and the Ancestor of Earth Immortals are both Quasi-Saints.

As for Bodhi… Yu Ding sighed helplessly. It seems that there really is no such person in the prehistoric world after so long, and he needs to step up.

Most importantly, this Burning Lamp became a quasi-saint after the Investiture of the Gods, having gone to the West to cultivate and become a Buddha... Yu Ding certainly doesn't support this kind of thing.

As for Zhao Gongming, he was in high spirits when he fought the Twelve Immortals and chased after Randeng, but when he returned to the Shang camp, he was dejected and secretly regretted not listening to his sister.

Grand Tutor Wen greeted him expectantly and asked, "Uncle-Master, how did it go?"

Gongming could only sigh and feel ashamed, unsure how to begin.

Grand Tutor Wen asked in surprise, "Why is my uncle doing this?"

Gongming lamented, “Since I attained enlightenment, I have rarely encountered an opponent thanks to the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl. Today, just as I was about to light the lamp, three people named Xiao Sheng, Cao Bao, and Nangong Li jumped out and took away my Dragon-Binding Rope and the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl. Ah, my heart is broken!”

Wen Zhong: "...Then what should we do?"

Uncle-Master, could you please uphold the image of the Great Luo Golden Immortal in my heart?
Zhao Gongming was conflicted. Yunxiao had repeatedly warned him not to get involved in Xiqi, but he wouldn't listen. Now that he had lost his treasure, he really couldn't bring himself to go looking for a girl.

But what does that matter compared to his precious face?

He suddenly stood up: "The only thing we can do now is to borrow two treasures."

Just then, a soldier came to report: "Grand Tutor, Immortal Zhao, there is a Taoist priest outside the gate requesting an audience."

At this time, outside the gate.

A Taoist priest with his hands behind his back looked up and stared at the yellow dragon hanging on the flagpole.

Huang Long said irritably, "What are you looking at!"

The young Taoist priest smiled and said, "Hey, why are you running so high, fellow Taoist?"

Huang Long glared at him and said, "I... I can't sunbathe, what's it to you? Who do you think you are?"

The young Taoist priest smiled and said, "This humble Taoist is Tianxu!"
