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

Chapter 571: What's the difference between this and suicide?
P.S.: The ending of the previous chapter wasn't written well, so I revised it and added a few thousand words. Just refresh the page to see it; there will be no additional charges.

When Yunxiao stopped, his shoulder was pierced, and bloodstains stained his snow-white fairy robes.

When she looked up in shock, Yu Ding was already calmly gazing at her, surrounded by pure energy. The terrifying aura had vanished without a trace, but he now possessed an indescribable air of composure.

A transcendent, otherworldly aura, far beyond her comprehension...
There are few people in this primordial world who possess such a grandeur, but without exception, all of them are great gods and saints who are famous throughout the primordial world and whose magical powers are boundless.

Looking at Yu Ding's figure, Yunxiao suddenly felt a wave of dizziness and remembered when he first saw Yu Ding at Biyou Palace.

At that time, the jade cauldron seemed to have just suffered a calamity, lost its foundation, and its innate being was reduced to an acquired mortal body, which made her feel both strange and somewhat regretful.

Unexpectedly, not long after the jade cauldron was broken, it was rebuilt and restored to its original level of cultivation. Moreover, it even made further progress, reaching such a terrifying state.

She was originally confident that she could fight Yu Ding for a long time, but who knew that she would be defeated so decisively in the blink of an eye.

Recalling the terrifying aura from just now, she felt that apart from her senior brother Duobao, who had mastered the Three Corpses and cultivated his physical body, no one in the entire Jie Sect could rival Yu Ding.

Yu Ding carefully pointed to Yunxiao's wound and said cautiously, "Fairy... are you alright? I have some healing medicine here."

As he said, he was acting on imperial orders when he went down the mountain to break through the Nine Bends. It was like he had a military order to obey, and he could only win, not lose, and certainly not settle a stalemate.

That's why he rejected Yunxiao's peace talks. Otherwise, given his personality, he would rather lie down than sit up, and why take action when a problem can be solved through discussion?
However, there are some things in this world that cannot be resolved by sitting down and discussing them; otherwise, the three religions would have already settled this matter at the negotiating table.

Of course, there's another reason why he can't lose: if he loses, then his master will have to come down the mountain.

Yu Ding's actions startled Yunxiao, and a strange look flashed in his eyes.

As soon as this action was made, Yu Ding's originally lofty and extraordinary aura vanished completely, his halo dissipated, and he returned to being as ordinary as ever.

"It doesn't matter!"

Yunxiao glanced at the wound on his shoulder, raised his hand and brushed it over. A burst of divine light shone, and the wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"No wonder Master Yuanshi sent you down the mountain to break the formation."

Yunxiao shook his head and said, "Everyone thinks that your disciples are all extraordinary and have surpassed your generation. But it turns out that you, their master, are even more... We have lost today."

She readily admitted her defeat.

Yu Ding said, "As the saying goes, fortune and misfortune are interdependent. If I hadn't suffered the calamity that Wu Yunxian and the others had brought upon me, I'm afraid I would have been doomed to perish under the fairy's Nine Turns Yellow River Formation today."

The Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation is powerful, but he has the auspicious cloud bestowed upon him by his master, the Jade Void Apricot Yellow Banner protecting him, and the innate spiritual treasure, the Wind-Fixing Pearl, bestowed upon him by his senior uncle. It can be said that his protection is extremely comprehensive.

"So, how do you plan to resolve today's matter?" Yunxiao asked, gazing at the jade cauldron.

At this point, the initiative had already shifted according to the difference in strength.

"Although my brother's calamity is ordained by fate and beyond human control, this matter must be explained."

After pondering for a moment, Yu Ding looked up and said, "After the Investiture of the Gods is over, I hope that the three fairies will go to heaven to take on a task and do their part for the Heavenly Court and the Primordial World. The term is... three thousand years."

This was a decision he made after careful consideration, and as he said, this matter needed to be addressed.

After much deliberation, he decided to issue the three of them a Heavenly Court offer. He also wanted to explain to his master that the only difference was that they had changed from being permanent employees to temporary employees.

"Three thousand years?"

"Correct!"

"The ones in the sky, they're not short either," Yunxiao mused.

A day in heaven is a year on earth, three thousand years in heaven is...

"No, on the ground."

Before Yunxiao could even finish the calculation, Yu Ding continued.

"...on the ground?"

Yunxiao was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, and looked at Yu Ding as if he had misheard.

Three thousand years on Earth is equivalent to just over eight years in Heaven.

Yu Ding nodded: "It's on the ground, what does the fairy think?"

Yunxiao said, "Then my eldest brother..."

Yu Ding said, "This is none of your concern, Fairy. After this incident, Brother Zhao's aura of calamity should dissipate. Once we are out of the formation, I will have Ziya return the arrow letter."

She looked deeply at the jade cauldron, then walked up to it and extended a hand as white as jade: "It's a deal!"

She felt a deep sense of sincerity from Yu Ding, which moved her deeply.

She originally wanted to discuss it properly, but Ran Deng refused to hand over the arrow book and was forced to set up the formation.

It wasn't until she captured Guang Chengzi and the others and threw them into the Yellow River Formation that she realized she had caused a great disaster, and knew that this matter would be difficult to resolve peacefully.

I never expected Yu Ding to say that.

"A word is settled!"

Yu Ding smiled and raised his hands, clapping them together in the air: "You can go back now."

Yunxiao hesitated for a moment and said, "I don't know if you believe me or not, but I'm very sorry about what happened to your fellow disciples this time."

Yu Ding paused for a moment, then smiled and waved his hand: "It's alright. They were killed and slaughtered. Fairy, you helped them through their tribulation. If you really feel bad about it, then please do me another favor."

This jade cauldron really knows how to talk… Yunxiao smiled faintly, thinking that the jade cauldron was just trying to comfort him, and asked with a smile, “What kind of help?”

Yu Ding smiled enigmatically: "A small favor."

At this moment, within the winding Yellow River formation.

As Qiongxiao, Hanzhixian, and Bixiao anxiously stared at the wormhole created by the collision of their powers, Yunxiao suddenly flew out of it, landing in a very disheveled state, looking at the wormhole as if facing a formidable enemy.

Everyone was taken aback, and then they saw Yu Ding step out calmly, with an air of composure, and bow: "Fairy Yunxiao, you flatter me."

"I'm sorry to admit it..." Yunxiao said, suppressing his anger as he stood up. "What amazing supernatural power! Fellow Daoist Yuding is indeed not what he used to be. I am no match for him!"

At this moment, the outcome was self-evident, but it was still hard for Qiongxiao and Bixiao to accept.

In their minds, even though they were both Great Luo, there were differences in how far they had progressed in that field. How could Yu Ding, who had just entered the Great Luo realm, compare to a Great Luo who had attained enlightenment as a Heavenly Emperor?
Even if their eldest sister couldn't win, she absolutely shouldn't have... shouldn't have lost like this.

"Could it be that my elder sister has also fallen into this guy's hands with some kind of secret?" Bixiao frowned as she looked at him.

She always felt that her older sister was acting, otherwise she would never have believed that her older sister would lose.

Then, Yu Ding looked at the unconscious Guang Chengzi and the others. He flipped his left hand, and a small golden bell appeared in his palm. He pointed with his right hand, and a wisp of immortal power struck the golden bell. The bell rang loudly, and ripples spread outwards.

As the ripples spread, everyone suddenly awoke, sitting up abruptly from the ground. Even Sanzha jumped up, looking around in bewilderment.

"Is this... the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation?"

"How are you all doing, fellow disciples?"

Just then, a voice rang out from above. Everyone looked over and saw Yu Ding walking over.

"Yu Ding? What brings you here?"

Huanglong was somewhat surprised, and Taiyi shook his groggy head and followed.

"Uncle-Master Yu Ding!"

Jinzha, Muzha, and Nezha were unharmed. Their cultivation levels were too low, and they had not yet attained the Dao Fruit, which allowed them to escape a calamity.

Huang Long said irritably, "Look at us, in this mess, do we look like we're alright? This is really terrible. I should have gone with you..."

"what!"

Just as the two were talking, a scream suddenly came from the crowd.

Everyone looked over and saw that Ju Liusun's face was pale and he was covered in sweat, as if he had encountered the most terrifying thing in the world.

Ju Liusun trembled, muttering, "My magical power, my Dao fruit, my..."

Upon hearing this, everyone realized what was happening and hurriedly examined themselves internally.

It was only a matter of time before they checked that everyone's vision went black, their faces turned pale, their blood pressure soared, and they almost collapsed to the ground. Not only had they lost their Golden Immortal Dao Fruit, but the Heavenly Gate that had been open since birth had also been sealed, and their pure and virtuous immortal bodies had become ordinary mortal bodies. Their bodies were empty, and all their endless arduous cultivation had now amounted to very little.

"How could this happen? How could this happen?"

"My... cultivation level!"

"My magic power!"

Some beat their chests in despair, some couldn't stop smiling bitterly, some sighed to the heavens, and some were so overwhelmed by the blow that they almost fainted.

For an immortal to lose their magical powers and Dao fruits is equivalent to losing everything.

This means that from this moment on, they are no longer immortal beings who are beyond the Three Realms and outside the Five Elements, living forever and high above.

"It's over!"

Huang Long plopped down on the ground, his expression blank and filled with despair: "It's all over!"

Taiyi, standing to the side, also had a bitter expression on his face: "What a magnificent Hunyuan Golden Bucket, what a... Nine-Bend Yellow River."

Yu Ding placed his hand on Taiyi's wrist, examined it for a while, then shook his head and sighed.

At this point, everyone's situation is, if not exactly the same as his back then, at least very similar.

Fortunately, he had lost his memory at that time and thought he had just transmigrated, so his sense of immersion was not as strong as it is now, unlike his fellow disciples.

Taiyi said with some regret, "Perhaps you were right before, Junior Brother. If we had returned the Arrow Scroll..."

"Senior brother, things have come to this, there's no need to say anything more."

Yu Ding encouraged everyone, saying, "Fellow senior brothers, please don't be discouraged or despair. When I was seriously injured and on the verge of death, I lost my Dao fruit, but I still managed to pull through."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked to their left and right, exchanging silent glances, though a bit more color returned to their pale faces.

That's true. Yu Ding survived back then, so there's no reason why they should be inferior to him.

Besides, when Yu Ding suffered his calamity, he was the only one to bear it, but when they suffered their calamity, everyone was there with them. By bearing it together, the pain, despair, anger, and so on caused by losing one's cultivation would be divided into eleven parts.

This made them feel much more at ease.

Otherwise, if they themselves were to suffer a calamity while their fellow disciples escaped... that would be even more unbearable than killing them.

The group looked at each other, their mood improving slightly.

Huang Long raised his eyes and said, "By the way, Yu Ding, how did you end up in the Nine Turns Yellow River Formation? Were you captured too?"

Everyone turned to look.

"I'll get you, you old man..." Yu Ding's lips twitched as he said, "My master ordered me to break through the Nine Bends and save everyone."

"What? You broke the formation and saved us?"

Huang Long curled his lip: "It's not that I'm underestimating you, but even if you cultivate to the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, this Nine Turns Yellow River Formation is definitely not something you can break."

Yu Ding smiled deeply: "Thank you for your kind words, I have indeed succeeded in my cultivation."

Huang Long: ∑(っ°Д°;)Huh?

Everyone:!!!∑(Дノ)ノ?

What did Yu Ding just say?

Yu Ding laughed: "If you don't believe me, look over there."

He raised his hand and pointed, and everyone looked in the direction he pointed and saw that Yunxiao's expression was not very good, and Bixiao had been captured by a Yellow Turban warrior.

Manjushri Bodhisattva glanced at it once and then looked away. He was more concerned about what Yu Ding had just said.

“Hey, Yu Ding, what you just said…”

"We can't stay here any longer, let's get out of here!"

After Yu Ding finished demonstrating his divine power to his senior brothers, he ignored their complicated feelings and gave them no chance to speak. He directly summoned the golden bell, and everyone turned into golden light and was collected into it, flying back into Yu Ding's hand.

Yu Ding then moved and headed out of the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation.

He could guess what his fellow disciples were thinking so quickly; they must have felt much better because they saw that everyone had suffered the same fate.

Haha, that's why they can be considered fellow disciples, right?!

To be honest, Yu Ding felt the same way; he was completely at peace and felt much better right now.

As he floated out of the formation gate, the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation behind him immediately collapsed, revealing the strong soldiers of the merchant camp who had set up the formation. They were now emaciated and exhausted.

After the formation dissipated, the Three Immortals and Han Zhixian also disappeared without a trace.

"He actually managed to break it?"

High in the sky, Ran Deng, who had been watching the situation below, saw Yu Ding emerge and the great formation collapse. His expression suddenly changed, revealing shock.

"No...how is this possible?"

Ran Deng looked utterly bewildered: "How could a mere jade cauldron break the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation?"

At this time, He had severed all three of His three corpses, but He had not yet achieved the Dao and had not yet reached the Great Luo Perfection to become a Quasi-Saint. Even if He went into the Hunyuan Golden Cauldron and the Nine-Bend Yellow River, He would have to come out horizontally. He could only abandon the disciples of Yuxu and escape.

As a result, this formation was solved by the Jade Cauldron, which He had never taken seriously... Outrageous! Absolutely outrageous!

"Is the Jade Cauldron too powerful, or is the Nine-Bend Yellow River merely a facade, or perhaps..."

Ran Deng gradually calmed down and composed himself, pondering: "Did the sect leader send him to break the formation because he taught him the method of breaking the formation and bestowed upon him some kind of magic weapon? Yes, yes, that must be it."

Silently, pure energy gathered to form a jade cauldron. He glanced at the lamp out of the corner of his eye, shook his head, and smiled.

This old lamp... if he causes trouble again, I'll deal with him next time. Now he doesn't even look down on the lamp anymore, having the magical power to compete with those innate deities.

On the battlefield, Ao Bing and Qiu Shou Xian were still locked in a bloody battle.

"Not even a Golden Immortal yet?"

Yu Ding was speechless for a moment, then suddenly looked up at the sky.

The wisp-headed immortal stood high in the sky, his sword energy sweeping across Xiqi City like a rainbow, infuriating Ao Bing who roared and tried to block it.

Some had no time to react and could only rush forward to meet the attack with their bare hands. The sword light struck their bodies, sparks flying everywhere, and large bursts of dazzling light erupted, which were actually fragments of broken dragon scales.

"Hahaha, you try to block, let's see how much you can block!"

The wiry-headed immortal laughed wildly, his golden hair dancing wildly. His body was covered in wounds, staining his Taoist robe red, which also aroused his ferocity.

Ao Bing, enraged, said, "Qiu Shou Xian, you are a worthy immortal of the Jie Sect, yet you so disregard life and attack mortals. You are truly shameless and have no humanity whatsoever."

The wiry-headed immortal sneered righteously: "I'm not human, what use is humanity to me? Are you even qualified to use me as a whetstone?"

Ao Bing was furious, but there was nothing he could do. If he didn't block those sword energies, they could destroy Xiqi City in a few hits, and millions of ordinary people in the city would be buried with the city.

"This bastard!"

Jiang Ziya had also rushed out. Seeing Qiu Shou Xian, he couldn't contain himself. If Yu Ding hadn't instructed him not to interfere, he would have wanted to use the Demon-Suppressing Bottle again.

"Unseal the divine talisman, stop suppressing your cultivation, and directly undergo the tribulation!"

Just as Ao Bing was in a dilemma, a voice suddenly reached his ears.

"What? Tribulation? Here? No way!"

Ao Bing cried out in alarm and resolutely refused: "With a formidable enemy at hand, there are too many variables to undergo tribulation here, and the odds are against us. What's the difference between this and sending us to our deaths?"

Hiss... Yu Ding was furious. If you're not a little brat, don't be so cowardly.
Back then, he was not strong enough and had to play it safe. But once he gained strength, Yu Ding became incredibly powerful.

The problem is that there isn't a suitable opportunity to make a move.

The method of fighting against the Heavenly Tribulation has been used by Yu Ding, Yang Jian, and Long Ji, with a success rate of 300% and extremely high feasibility.

You know, his master, senior brothers and sisters are all so powerful, so why did the style of the story suddenly change when it came to this kid?
