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

Chapter 570 The Yellow River Formation Ends
Ao Bing looked at the fierce-looking Qiu Shou Xian and muttered, "Master, you could have taken care of it in just a few punches, just like when you fought Taotie. Why did you make me take such a risk... Master, are you just going to watch from the sidelines?"

Is this kid going to keep babbling on and on...? Yu Ding glanced at him sideways: "I'm going to break the Nine Turns Yellow River Formation to rescue your senior uncles and senior aunts. Of course, if you're willing to switch tasks with me, I'd be happy to."

Upon hearing this, Ao Bing's lips twitched and his head shrank back: "Logically speaking, if the master is in trouble, the disciple should serve him and rush to the front, but I know my own limitations."

"My senior uncles and aunts are already in such a state after going in, if I go in, I'll probably just be throwing my life away. Then I'll have to trouble you, Master, to save me. So… I'll choose this one to fight!"

"Jade Cauldron!"

Seeing Yu Ding Ao Bing picking and choosing from him, Qiu Shou Xian became furious and could no longer hold back. He pointed his sword and said, "You two dog-like master and disciple, don't go too far! Are you going to fight or not? Who's going to fight?"

"What's the rush? Wait a little longer," Yu Ding said.

Qiu Shouxian: "..."

Yu Ding glanced at Ao Bing and smiled, "Isn't this a bit too much to ask of you?"

Master, you know why you're saying this... Ao Bing shook his head, staring at Qiu Shou Xian with a serious expression. His voice became more tragic as he said, "Fine, today I'll risk my life for Master... Ahhh."

Before he could finish speaking, Yu Ding spat in his hand and gave Ao Bing a hard push from behind, sending Ao Bing flying.

Everyone: "..."

Yunxiao looked surprised, and Qiongxiao's eyes widened in astonishment.

"This master is so bad... I even want to slap Yu Ding."

Bixiao's lips twitched and she gritted her teeth, saying, "What kind of master is this treacherous? Bah, what kind of master trains his disciples like this?"

Qiongxiao hesitated and said, "This is probably because all of Fellow Daoist Yuding's disciples are so outstanding!"

Bixiao said speechlessly, "Second Sister, if you can't cover up this obvious truth, don't try to cover it up for him."

Yunxiao and Bixiao glanced over, and Qiongxiao coughed lightly: "I'm just saying something fair."

Below, Qiu Shou Xian was overjoyed: "Good timing!"

He drew his sword to meet the attack, unleashing a blazing sword light that swept across the land like a bursting river, aiming to kill Ao Bing on the spot.

Ao Bing moved to dodge.

"Don't forget, behind you are the city of Xiqi and its millions of people..." came Yu Ding's voice.

"This is really a headache..." Ao Bing gritted his teeth, raised his right hand, and a large axe appeared in his hand. He held it with both hands and chopped it down with the Erlang Splitting Mountain style. The axe light was dazzling as he chopped down with force.

Boom!
The clash of axes and swords caused the sky to tremble violently. A blinding light enveloped the heavens and earth, and the aftershocks reverberated through the sky, spreading in all directions.

Immediately afterward, amidst the blinding light, a figure with an axe retreated over a thousand miles, spitting something out and looking somewhat solemn.

Well, facing an old monster like Qiu Shou Xian is, at least in his opinion, a bit too early for him.

After all, being superior in both realm and magical power is a huge disadvantage compared to having more combat experience.

He might have an advantage in terms of physical strength, but this Qiu Shou Xian is also an anomaly who attained enlightenment, so his advantage in physical strength is probably...

"Where are you looking, you little brat!"

Suddenly, a long howl rang out, and the light from the breakthrough of the clash between the dragon-headed immortals was like a shooting star, arriving in an instant. He attacked with his sword, the immortal sword shining brightly, each strike faster than the last.

Despite being in a sorry state for a time, Ao Bing managed to withstand Qiu Shou Xian's attacks one by one thanks to his powerful physique and strength.

“My disciple, remember, sometimes you will never be able to break through your limits if you don’t push yourself.”

Yu Ding said loudly, "You are a steady and cautious person. I can tell that you are unwilling to put yourself in a desperate situation and force yourself. So I will help you out."

This blockhead is easy for me to deal with, but I'll leave him to you as a whetstone. Once you surpass him, you'll see a different kind of scenery. As for me, I'm going to join the battle to fight for my senior uncles and aunts.

As everyone knows, Yu Ding was never one to hold grudges; after all, he would settle scores on the spot.

It wasn't until the encounter with the Seven Immortals that Yu Ding turned into a vengeful immortal, especially the mount squad, since those three were determined to kill him.

Even after receiving compensation from his uncle, the hatred remained. He was still thinking about how to take advantage of the Investiture of the Gods to deal with the three mount squads.

However, after he later learned that he had used those three good-for-nothings to erase his foundation, rebuild his Nine Revolutions cultivation, and rise from the ashes to become a Great Luo Immortal, and that those three had been dealt with by his disciples...

As everyone knows, Master Yu Ding, as a disciple of a sage, is of high moral character and broad-minded. He is not a petty immortal, right? So let's just let this personal grudge go!
Next, we should consider official business. Judging from what these guys do in Lion Camel Ridge in the future, we can see that their character is really bad, which is just in line with the theme of this great calamity of the gods: testing one's roots and conduct!

What can be done about someone who is not doing well?

There are regulations from above: those with deep roots and profound practice will attain immortality, those with lesser roots will attain divinity, and those with even lesser roots will be subject to reincarnation.

In short:
Makes the list!

It has to be on the list!

He had only intended to trick Tianxu into coming over, but unexpectedly, just when he was dozing off, someone handed him a pillow – Xiao Shen had brought the people over for him.

"Master?" Ao Bing was startled and realized that this was his master's good intention; his master had left the most dangerous place for him.

Is it difficult to fight Qiu Shou Xian? It's quite difficult for him, but compared to the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation, it's nothing.

After all, that formation had trapped all eleven of his senior uncles and senior brothers inside, their fates unknown. He could almost see a red warning light flashing on his master's forehead.

Qiu Shou Xian cleaved Ao Bing in two with a single sword strike and roared, "Yu Ding, come here, let me see how easy you can be."

However, Yu Ding had already headed towards the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation without even glancing at him.

Lei Zhenzi said, "Uncle-Master, let me help you!"

Yu Ding glanced at the Three Immortals and shook his head, saying, "No need. You stay here and guard the place. Remember, don't let anyone disturb your Senior Brother Ao's battle."

After saying that, he went straight to the entrance of the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation.

Bixiao stared at Yuding and said, "Yuding, for the sake of our past friendship, I'll advise you one last time: go back. Even if you were at your peak and your magic power hadn't recovered after the calamity, you would be no different from Guangchengzi and the others if you entered the formation. Do you believe me or not?"

Yu Ding smiled and said with his hands behind his back, "I believe you, but I have no choice but to come. You go into the formation and watch me break it."

Bixiao's words are not wrong. In the original Investiture of the Gods, Yu Ding and Huanglong Taiyi were all stripped of their cultivation.

However, things are different now. The Three Immortals are still the Three Immortals, and the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation is still the Yellow River Formation, but this Jade Cauldron is no longer the same Jade Cauldron.

Qiongxiao paused for a moment, then looked up and said, "Then you can observe the formation today. We can discuss breaking the formation another day."

Bixiao glanced at Qiongxiao, then hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but stopped herself.

Yu Ding knew that Qiong Xiao was deliberately going easy on him, and laughed, "I appreciate your kindness, fairy, but as the saying goes, there's no time like the present. Let's do it today. Whether it works out or not, I'll accept it."

Qiongxiao tried to persuade her again, but Yunxiao sighed and led her two younger sisters into the formation and onto the Bagua Platform.

"Second sister, don't try to persuade him anymore. You can't stop him. Just like we had to come for our eldest brother, he has to too."

Bixiao laughed and said, "Besides, with his current magical power of only one or two hundred years, our formation can't really diminish his Dao Fruit. Don't worry!"

Qiongxiao sighed, "I wondered how Yuding had suffered such a calamity before. It turns out it was Qiushou and his gang who did it. He has always been kind to others and never mentioned this to anyone. I feel ashamed."

Bixiao laughed and said, "Yu Ding's character is beyond reproach. After we capture him and he calms down, we'll discuss with him how to resolve this matter."

"You two shouldn't be careless."

Listening to the two's discussion, Yunxiao said seriously, "The Jade Cauldron is not as simple as you think."

As they were talking, the light screen of the array gate rippled with water, and Yu Ding appeared in the array, his feet about two feet off the ground, supported by auspicious clouds, with auspicious clouds above his head and auspicious light emanating from his body, as he soared through the air.

A chilling wind howled through the jade formation, and the vast expanse of yellow sand stretched as far as the eye could see, a desolate desert where no one knew the sun. A great river meandered through the landscape, its origin and destination unknown.

Yu Ding made a hand seal with his hands and lowered his eyes. He saw Guang Chengzi and the three brothers, Nezha, a total of fourteen people, lying down in the desert, seemingly drunk but not yet awake. They were fast asleep, and their breathing could be heard through their noses.

On the Bagua Platform stood the Three Immortals of Sanxiao and Hanzhixian.

Yu Ding sighed softly; this was the scene he most hoped to see when he woke up.

Seeing how I'll feel now... Hmm, I feel balanced!

Originally, the twelve immortals, including him, were all innate beings who attained enlightenment. They were born with their heavenly gates open, possessing primordial spirits and considerable magical power, unlike beings born later in life who are so weak.

However, when he was defeated and had his Dao Fruit destroyed in the battle with the Seven Immortals, he also lost his original nature as a primordial being. Or rather, this was the original intention of the 'him'.

No destruction, no construction!
In short, his body had transformed into a mortal form and become an acquired being, which is why he needed to go through the Refining Essence and Refining Qi stages again when he was rebuilding his cultivation, just like an acquired being.

There is a fundamental difference between the innate and the acquired beings. In order to prevent him from being exposed, Taiyi gave him a jade hairpin to conceal his true nature. In reality, Taiyi had attached his innate essence to the hairpin.

But now, after him, these fellow disciples could not escape this calamity and followed in his footsteps.

However, if there really were a way to reverse this matter, how could his master, with his level of cultivation, stand idly by and not save them?

At this moment, the jade cauldron was protected by auspicious clouds and auspicious energy, and no matter how fierce the yin winds raged in the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation, they could not harm him in the slightest.

Yu Ding nodded in praise: "What a magnificent Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation!"

The Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation contains the Bewitching Immortal Pill and the Closing Immortal Technique, the raw materials of which are the Bewitching Flower and the Bewitching Body Grass from the Three Immortal Islands. Last time he and Yang Jian went to the Three Immortal Islands, even Yang Jian was caught off guard by the Bewitching Flower.

This formation is extremely powerful. Anyone who enters it will inevitably be doomed, and those who do not enter it will be captured and thrown in by the Three Immortals using the Hunyuan Golden Bucket, just like Huang Long and the others.

"This is nothing. We haven't even unleashed the full power of the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation yet. It's only at one-tenth of its power right now. Otherwise, with your meager magical power, how could you be unharmed?" Bixiao sneered.

Yu Ding smiled meaningfully and said, "Then I must thank Fellow Daoist Bixiao for showing mercy. Fellow Daoist, rest assured, I will keep your secret well."

Yunxiao, Qiongxiao, and Hanzhixian looked on curiously: "What secret is Yuding talking about?"

Bi Xiao blushed and glared at Yu Ding as if giving a warning, then smiled casually and said, "How would I know? Yu Ding is just talking nonsense. Really, you should believe me."

Yunxiao, Qiongxiao, and Hanzhixian: "(;￢＿￢)……"

Damn Yu Ding… Bi Xiao hurriedly wiped her sweat, wishing she could grab Yu Ding, pin him to the ground, and beat him mercilessly. You… didn’t go, did you?
Yunxiao stared at Yu Ding and said, "Yu Ding, I know you have attained the Great Luo Dao Fruit, but you cannot break this formation. I do not want things to develop to an irreversible point, so instead of wasting time, we should discuss how to resolve this matter."

"What? Da Luo... Big sister, you're not lying to us?"

Bixiao, Qiongxiao, and Hanzhixian looked at Yu Ding, who was calm and smiling, with disbelief.

Then, they were even more shocked to see that Yu Ding simply smiled and did not deny what he said. Yu Ding smiled and said, "It can be discussed, but only after I have broken the Nine Turns Yellow River Formation."

Just as Guang Chengzi and the others disgraced the Jade Void Palace of the Chan Sect, Yu Ding had to pick up the pieces in the same way. This was his master's intention, and the order could not be disrupted.

While Bixiao was shocked, she snorted and said, "Yuding, you have quite the nerve. Randeng is also a Great Luo Golden Immortal. What can he do? Let me tell you, my master said that even the saints of the three religions would have a hard time escaping this formation."

"My master said it! My master said it! Why don't you say my mother said it?" Yu Ding thought helplessly. "And this Tongtian Uncle is really bad at bragging and tricking his disciple."

First, there's this talk about how powerful the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation is, saying that even a sage couldn't escape it. Please, if a sage were to enter, would he need to escape?
Later, he boasted about how powerful his Ten Thousand Immortals Formation and Six Soul Banner were, claiming that even saints would suffer from them. But in the end, he was repeatedly proven wrong; his things couldn't even harm the sect leaders.

Han Zhixian shouted, "Three sisters, we have said all we can say. Since he won't listen to our advice, why waste words with him? Let's do it!"

"Get into formation!"

Yunxiao understood Yuding's meaning and knew that this matter concerned the reputation of both sects. With a soft shout, Qiongxiao and Bixiao used their magic to point their fingers.

With a deafening roar, the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation was activated at full power, instantly unleashing a sandstorm that blotted out the sky and swept across all directions. The Bewitching Immortal Pill and the Immortal-Sealing Technique were mixed in with it, engulfing the entire world.

"Certainly!"

Suddenly a soft shout came, followed by a glimmer of light. The yin wind within the entire formation immediately stopped, and the glimmer of light grew brighter and brighter. Soon, it was revealed that a precious pearl was being held in the jade cauldron's hand.

"The Wind-Stabilizing Pearl?!"

Everyone was shocked, especially Han Zhixian, whose expression changed drastically. Her entire cultivation revolved around the word "wind," and the Wind-Fixing Pearl was simply her natural enemy.

Seeing this, Bixiao raised her hand and pointed, and golden light flew up. The Hunyuan Golden Bucket Divine Light surged and was summoned by her.

"Well done!"

Yu Ding raised his hand and pointed, summoning the apricot-yellow flag. The dark yellow light spread out, and the Hunyuan Golden Cauldron only tumbled in the sky, but the golden light could not fall down and get close to Yu Ding.

Seeing this, Yu Ding smiled slightly and had already taken a winged coin and presented it upwards, sticking it to the body of the Hunyuan Golden Bucket.

The golden goblet immediately lost its light and fell to the ground, where it was caught by the prepared jade cauldron.

"you……"

The three Xiao sisters' expressions changed. They were bestowed with two innate spiritual treasures: the Hunyuan Golden Cauldron and the Golden Dragon Scissors. The Hunyuan Golden Cauldron, when used in conjunction with the Nine Turns Yellow River Formation, complemented each other and greatly increased its power.

Unexpectedly, Yu Ding snatched the Hunyuan Golden Bucket in a single encounter, and the Golden Dragon Scissors, which he had lent to Zhao Gongming, had not yet been returned.

Bixiao became enraged, drew her sword, and shouted, "Give me back my treasure!"

"I can't afford to lose..." Yu Ding stood with his hands behind his back and sighed softly. His whole body radiated a clear light, and the sword energy that approached him melted away like ice and snow meeting the blazing sun.

At this moment, Bixiao had already reached him, her immortal sword flashing brilliantly as it pierced through him. However, Yuding lightly extended two fingers to catch the sword and whispered, "That's enough."

Bixiao angrily said, "Give me back my treasure first."

Yu Ding transmitted his voice, saying, "Once this matter is settled, I will naturally offer it to you with both hands, but before that, you must help me."

Bixiao looked at the jade cauldron with a strange expression and said, "How can I help you?"

Yu Ding said, "You cannot win this battle today."

Bixiao said, "We can't win... does that mean we should lose? Where would that leave the reputation of Biyou Palace?"

"Look at my fellow disciples, aren't you all enough face for me?"

Yu Ding said, "Besides, Fellow Daoist Bixiao, you wouldn't want your secret to be revealed..."

Upon hearing this, Bixiao flew into a rage and interrupted, "You dare threaten me? Didn't you go even though I went?"

Yu Ding said, "Only you and I know about this; Yang Jian doesn't know anything about it."

Bi Xiao's burst of momentum was dispelled by a single sentence, and she said with a somewhat unnatural expression, "What can he... do even if he knows? I... how can I help you?"

Yu Ding said, "Help me persuade your two older sisters to admit defeat, so as not to hurt their harmony by fighting."

"what?"

Bixiao turned around in surprise and looked at the group, glaring at them and saying, "I can only take care of myself at most, how can I persuade them?"

Yu Ding pondered for a moment: "Then let's start with you."

From the outside, all that could be seen was Yu Ding and Bi Xiao exchanging blows for several rounds. Just then, Yu Ding suddenly raised his hand and pointed, divine light radiating out, and a Ruyi flew out, striking Bi Xiao squarely in the back.

As Bixiao staggered, Yu Ding raised his sleeve and several divine talismans flew out, sealing Tianling's forehead and dantian, rendering her unable to move.

"Ah, Yu Ding is indeed not what it used to be. I am no match for him. Eldest sister, second sister, save me..." Bi Xiao cried out in alarm.

At this moment, Yu Ding raised his hand and pointed, and a divine talisman sealed Bi Xiao's mouth.

"Where is the Yellow Turban warrior?"

Yu Ding shouted, "Take Bi Xiao aside and wait."

A Yellow Turban warrior appeared in response, picked up the immobilized Bixiao, and walked to the side.

"Big sister, something seems a little off." Qiongxiao frowned and pondered.

Yunxiao's eyes flashed: "With Yu Ding's current level of cultivation, Third Sister wouldn't last a single round against him."

Qiongxiao suddenly opened her eyes: "Yes!"

At this moment, Yunxiao had already taken a step forward and was almost upon him. The Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation could no longer harm Yu Ding, and the only way to prove his strength was through his own hands.

With a gentle wave of her hand, she formed a hand seal, and in an instant, a dazzling celestial light, like a vast ocean, crashed down upon the jade cauldron.

Yu Ding's body trembled violently, his skin radiating a faint golden light. A glint flashed in his eyes, and his right hand swung down like a sword, unleashing a sword light that illuminated the heavens and the earth, sweeping across the front.

Boom——

Divine light surged, soaring straight into the heavens. The wind and clouds within the great formation changed color, and the sound it emitted was deafening, like the sound of creation.

Amidst a series of loud explosions, it suddenly exploded, and then the remaining power rained down on the great formation like a shower of light.

"This guy was really good at hiding his true intentions!"

While being held in the hands of the Yellow Turban Warrior, Bi Xiao was shocked and gritted her teeth, wondering when that guy had recovered.

When she saw Yu Ding easily block her eldest sister's attack, she realized that Yu Ding had also entered the Great Luo Realm.

Qiongxiao, who had been clenching her fists with some worry, breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this. To be honest, she didn't want to see Yu Ding's tragic experience of losing his cultivation be repeated.

"I never expected... that you would rise from the ashes..."

Yunxiao looked at Yu Ding with some surprise: "Now you've gone even further on the Great Luo Road than I have."

Logically speaking, she had been a Great Luo cultivator for a long time and had severed her two corpses, making her far superior to Yu Ding, a newly enlightened Great Luo cultivator.

But her Golden Dragon Scissors were nowhere to be found, the Primordial Golden Cauldron was lost, and the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation was useless against the Jade Cauldron, forcing her to take matters into her own hands, only to have her attacks easily blocked...

She has already lost by at least three points, both in terms of momentum and actual situation.

Yu Ding shook his head: "Actually... it's not that far."

Because they are not on the same path, their cultivation methods are different, so they cannot be compared based on distance.

Although Yunxiao is a Great Luo Immortal, he is a Great Luo Immortal who has severed the three corpses in the primordial world, not the Great Luo Immortal who is unique in the multiverse.

Furthermore, the immortals of the prehistoric world all had a major flaw: they relied too much on external objects such as magic weapons and formations, while neglecting their own cultivation.

This resulted in a significant reduction in combat power after losing their magical artifacts; this was true for both Zhao Gongming and Yunxiao.

In the original Investiture of the Gods, Yunxiao was swept away in one move by his grandmaster's Wind and Fire Futon, without any chance to fight back.

Of course, he didn't have the same ease as his senior master in breaking through the Nine Curves and capturing the Three Heavens, but it wouldn't take too much effort either. If he were to use the treasure, it would be even easier.

At this moment, Yunxiao was like the fierce tiger with piercing eyes and white forehead on Jingyang Ridge, which he tried to subdue with all his skills, including "pouncing, lifting, and scissing," but failed.

"Come again..."

The next moment, Yu Ding and Yun Xiao soared into the sky together, transforming into two blazing celestial rainbows, one white and one gold. They intertwined and collided wildly, their bursting rays of light more dazzling than the sun. The terrifying power caused the void to collapse continuously, creating deep black holes.

Qiongxiao, Hanzhixian, and Bixiao looked up in shock, still finding it hard to believe.

The gentleman Yu Ding, one of the Twelve Immortals of Jade Void... actually possesses such terrifying cultivation?

At this moment, high in the sky, celestial rainbows intertwined within the blazing celestial light.

Yu Ding, his hands forming a sword incantation, was engaged in a battle of magical power: "Fairy Yunxiao, today I am bound by the Jade Void Army's orders. My master said that I can only win and not lose. You should admit defeat!"

"Just because you can't lose doesn't mean I can lose!"

Yunxiao laughed in anger: "I said you wanted to fight if we were to negotiate, and now you want me to admit defeat? Yu Ding, you have quite the nerve. I admit that I can't beat you after losing the Hunyuan Golden Bucket, but it won't be easy for you to beat me either."

Yu Ding coughed lightly: "Fairy Yunxiao, you don't want your secret either..."

When Yunxiao heard Yuding bring up the old story again, his expression suddenly turned cold: "You dare threaten me?"

“I had no such intention; I just didn’t want to hurt you,” Yu Ding sighed.

He could live off Bixiao's secret for a lifetime, but Yunxiao was clearly not threatened.

Yunxiao was slightly taken aback, then sneered: "We are both at the Great Luo Realm, where do you get the confidence to make such a boast?"

"You're right, but what I want to say is..."

Yu Ding raised his eyes, a glint of light flashing in them: "Even among Great Luo Immortals, there are differences."

The next moment, a vast and unfathomable intent suddenly arose from his sword technique, radiating boundless light, and with a gentle forward thrust, it instantly shattered the previously balanced state.

Upon sensing that aura, Yunxiao's expression changed drastically. Then, his whole body trembled violently, and he staggered backward without any power to fight back.
