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

Chapter 67 Ha, stingy!

Yu Ding admitted that Taiyi's words made a lot of sense.

He also hoped that Senior Brother Taiyi could sever his three corpses before the Investiture of the Gods... although this might not be possible.

The method of severing the three corpses here is quite different from the method of achieving quasi-sainthood in the online novels he remembered, which involved severing the three corpses of good and evil.

The Three Corpses actually represent three kinds of evil desires that transform into worms within the body, known as the Three Corpses and Nine Worms.

Specifically, it includes: the three upper corpse worms, the three middle corpse worms, and the three lower corpse worms.

The upper corpse worm is named Peng Hou, and it is located inside the head; the middle corpse worm is named Peng Zhi, and it is located in the chest; the lower corpse worm is named Peng Jiao, and it is located in the abdomen.

The Great Celestial Immortal is eternally free and unfettered across all time and space!

Unfortunately, the Three Corpse Worms are the biggest obstacle for Taiyi Golden Immortals to enter the Great Luo Realm.

The upper corpse worm makes one dizzy, the middle corpse worm makes one restless and unable to find peace, and the lower corpse worm makes one greedy for food and lust...

In short, no matter how good-tempered an immortal is, the influence of the Three Corpse Worms can turn a Golden Immortal into a volatile old man, requiring extremely strong willpower to suppress him.

Last time, Jade Cauldron Immortal and Yellow Dragon got into a fight with the Seven Immortals of the Intercepting Sect over a single word...

It's very likely due to the Three Corpse Worms causing the trouble. After all, under the influence of the Three Corpse Worms, Yu Ding had every reason to believe that the two sides were affected by a simple sentence:
They can start a fight just by saying things like "What are you looking at?" or "What's it to you?"

Yu Ding became alert. He should cherish his life and stay away from Taiyi... Wait, something doesn't seem right.

Yu Ding glanced at Taiyi Zhenren and silently changed his mind about staying away from Taiyi to staying away from Golden Immortals. As a victim who had suffered from the war between Golden Immortals, he was the most qualified to speak on this matter.

At the same time, he began to wonder whether he should keep some distance from these close fellow disciples, or perhaps prepare some... countermeasures in advance?
As long as one is a Taiyi Golden Immortal and has not yet eradicated the Three Corpse Worms, there will always be a time when the Three Corpse Worms cannot be suppressed and will rampage...

Yu Ding couldn't help but glance at Taiyi Zhenren.

He Yu Ding swore: He was absolutely certain that if one day his fellow disciples were to harm him, it would certainly not be their intention.
But there was no way around it; the injuries Yu Ding had suffered this time were simply too severe, not only physically but also emotionally…

What? It wasn't him who got beaten up? Wasn't it enough that he, a master player, had to start from bronze to level up and get injured?
He truly didn't want to suffer any more harm now. Sometimes, when he looked around, his body would instinctively give him a feeling that something was amiss, like, "There are always treacherous subjects trying to harm me..."

This shows what this physical body went through back then.

"Junior brother, why... are you looking at me like that?"

Taiyi suddenly noticed that Yu Ding's eyes were flickering and he was glancing at him every now and then, which puzzled Taiyi.

Yu Ding chuckled dryly, "Haha, Senior Brother gave me such a treasure as the Yin-Yang Sword, I really don't know how to thank you enough!"

"Between fellow disciples, why bother with words of thanks..."

"I'll send my senior brother a newly improved massage chair!"

"Oh, there are new models? This... isn't that a bit inappropriate!"

"Junior brother can't handle it!"

"Haha, Junior Brother is always so understanding!"

Yu Ding also laughed.

I've made up my mind. I'll start preparing now. I absolutely cannot give my loved ones the chance to hurt me the most, lest they regret it later...

As for powerful moves like the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Qi and the Pangu Banner Qi, they should at least not be used on one's own people, otherwise it would be the turn of Primordial Father to clean house.

Thinking of this, Yu Ding let out a long sigh.

Both are apprentices, but look at him. This apprentice is so obedient and understanding of his master's intentions. He is simply a role model and exemplar for being an apprentice.

But the unfilial disciple he taught was extremely rebellious and went to wreak havoc in the Heavenly Palace. A tiger teacher and a dog disciple, a tiger teacher and a dog disciple!

If the Heavenly Court finds out about this, they will definitely say that it was Yu Ding who instructed him.

This is something like mud falling off your pants—you can't explain it.

It's impossible to explain clearly, so his interest in taking on disciples is waning, and he's even losing enthusiasm for his former disciple, Yang Jian.

Fortunately, he remembered that Yang Jian only split the mountain to save his mother, and did not have the bad record of causing havoc in the Heavenly Palace like his nephew Chen Xiang... So let it be.

As the saying goes:
White clouds drift lightly for a thousand years, carried by the wind over countless mountains.

Finally, two of the Jade Void F4 arrived at Kunlun Mountain, and a lucky cloud floated up to Qilin Cliff.

"Brother is back?"

The Moral True Lord opened his eyes and smiled.

Yu Ding smiled and said, "Thank you very much for your magic weapon, Junior Brother."

The Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan is an innate spiritual treasure with astonishing power, which proved invaluable in dealing with the Three-Headed Flood Dragon.

Unfortunately... it doesn't belong to him!
With that, he raised his sleeve and flicked it, unleashing the Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan, the Heart-Piercing Nail, and other powerful weapons, which flew towards the Moral True Lord with a burst of precious light.

Moral True Lord smiled and said, "It's good that you helped Senior Brother."

Huang Long secretly withdrew his envious glances and asked in surprise, "Yu Ding, how did you end up coming back with Tai Yi?"

Taiyi hurriedly said, "I ran into Junior Brother Yuding on the way back, so we came back together. Junior Brother, you should go and report back to Master first!"

"Okay, then I'll take my leave. I'll be right back."

Yu Ding smiled, cupped his hands in greeting, and rode away on a cloud.

"Sigh, I wonder what Master sent Yu Ding to Biyou Palace for. He's been gone for so long."

Huanglong stared at Yu Ding's back and muttered to himself.

Taiyi: \(；￢_￢)
You don't need to remind me, sentence by sentence, that I forgot about my junior brother's return...

“Master’s instructions must have a deeper meaning, Senior Brother, don’t overthink it,” said Moral True Lord with a smile.

Anyway, you can't figure it out.

……

"Uncle-Master Yu Ding, you're back?!"

The white crane attendant at the entrance of Jade Void Palace waved and laughed when he saw the jade cauldron from afar.

Yu Xu descended on a cloud to Bai He Tong Zi, habitually reaching out to rub Bai He Tong Zi's head and smiling, "Bai He, have you been working hard on your cultivation lately?"

"Let me tell you, the Water and Fire Attendants of Biyou Palace have already reached the Celestial Immortal level. Our Jade Void lineage has never been inferior to others, so you must live up to our expectations and not bring shame to our Jade Void Palace..."

"Yes!" The White Crane Boy nodded with a smile, "I was just about to tell my martial uncle that I've also broken through to the early stage of the Celestial Immortal Realm..."

Yu Ding's smile froze, and the hand that was rubbing his head stiffened.

The two fairy children sitting below... Don't you two have any respect for those elders?

Yu Ding withdrew his hand and said, "Is that so? Then congratulations. I need to present the decree to my master now. Please inform my uncle on my behalf..."

"Alright, speaking of which, I have to thank Uncle Yu Ding for this. I've been stuck at the late True Immortal Realm for many years, unable to break through." The White Crane Boy chuckled, "But after listening to Uncle Yu Ding's words last time, oh my, it's better than a hundred years of enlightenment! Guess what? Heh, I broke through that very day!"

Jade tripod: Σ(°△°|||)
Why is it that his lectures don't feel engaging, but those who listen to them immediately gain insight?

He didn't explain anything profound; he was just a conveyor of theories!

And when he was teaching Yuan Hong, Yuan Hong didn't even know the theory. In fact, Yuan Hong's first disciple was the one who truly suffered alongside him...

After informing Yu Ding, he arrived at the central Bagua Platform and bowed deeply, saying, "Disciple Yu Ding greets Master and wishes Master a long and healthy life!"

Yuan Shi slowly opened his eyes from within the chaotic energy and said, "No need for formalities!"

"Thank you Master!"

Yu Ding stood up and said, "Master sent me to Biyou Palace before. I have returned today to report back."

"How long has this trip lasted?" Yuanshi asked slowly.

Yu Ding lowered his head and calculated: "About... twenty years!"

After a pause, Yu Ding said with a hint of weariness, "This disciple has been traveling for a full eighteen years!"

Yuanshi: (￣ー￣)
"Very well, now that your magical power is insufficient, I will bestow upon you the Golden Light of Earth-Soaring Technique to help you move around in the future."

“Thank you, Master…”

Yu Ding bowed happily.

The "Golden Light Across the Earth" seems to refer to the twelve Golden Immortals in the Investiture of the Gods who had their three flowers on their heads and five qi in their chests removed by the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation, and were reduced to mortal bodies after their Heavenly Gates were closed.

His master bestowed upon him these supernatural powers to facilitate the Twelve Golden Immortals' assistance to Jiang Ziya and Xiqi, for use in traveling.

Unexpectedly, he used it first this time.

Yuanshi raised his hand and pointed, and a golden light flew in and entered Yu Ding's mind. Yu Ding closed his eyes and sensed that the essence of the supernatural power was contained within it.

"laugh……"

Before long, Yu Ding opened his eyes and woke up. A golden light shot out from under his feet and rushed directly towards the roof of Yu Xu Palace.

Just as it was about to crash into the palace roof, Yuanshi had no choice but to point a finger, and the jade cauldron disappeared from the height and reappeared three feet above the ground before falling to the ground.

"Master, please forgive me!"

Yu Ding turned pale and hurriedly knelt down. He felt that this supernatural power was not difficult at first glance, so he just tried it casually.

Unexpectedly, when he used it casually, the speed was far beyond his control, almost tearing the roof off Yuanshi's house...

Yuanshi: "..."

This disciple seems to have a higher level of comprehension than before. Even though he was skilled before, he never had the ability to use supernatural powers so easily.

"Good comprehension... Get up!"

Yuanshi said calmly, "What did your uncle give you when you went to Biyou Palace this time?"

"I really don't believe you don't know, Master..." Yu Ding thought to himself, but could only raise his right hand and show off the small sword mark like a nouveau riche wearing five gold rings.

"anything else?"

Yuan Shi glanced at it indifferently, not satisfied.

Yu Ding said, "This disciple spent a year reading in Master Tongtian's library..."

"anything else?"

"Those four fellow Daoists were suppressed at the foot of the mountain by our master, and they reached a consensus: they will only be released when this disciple returns to the Golden Immortal realm."

"anything else?"

"It's gone!" Yu Ding said cautiously.

"That's all? You're so stingy!"

Yuan Shi glanced at the high place and scolded, "Can a mere six sword energies make up for your long years of hard work?"

"You're a spineless coward too. Why don't you just give up everything and let him turn his apprentices into someone like you?"

Yu Ding hurriedly wiped away his sweat.

Good heavens, his master actually thought the same thing as him.

Unfortunately, my uncle wouldn't agree!

"Also, why did you go to look at his collection of books? Did you think that my Jade Void Palace didn't have any books, or that they were inferior to his Biyou Palace?"

Yuanshi snorted, "He actually went to read people's faces, and only allowed to do so for a year. Isn't he afraid of being laughed at by the younger generation? Does he really think that his library contains the Primordial Dao Fruit or some supreme heavenly book or secret technique? Ha, stingy!"

Yu Ding listened, his heart pounding with fear: "o(╥﹏╥)o"

Yuanshi Dad, I was wrong. And Uncle-Master, don't listen to my master either. I would rather die than laugh at you in my heart...

孽 孽!
hum!
Suddenly, the void within the Jade Void Palace cracked open.

A Bodhi tree, surrounded by a pale white light, flew out.

"Master, this..."

Yu Ding stared in disbelief.

"That's pretty much it."

Yuanshi Tianzun then said, "Finally, you've produced something decent. Take it!"

"It's over..." Yu Ding wailed inwardly. He seemed to see the friendly bridge he had just built with his uncle collapsing before his eyes, but this did not stop him from quickly absorbing the spiritual root into his dantian.

The bridge collapsed... We'll rebuild it later when we have the chance. Anyway, he doesn't dare to act up in front of his uncle lately.

On Jin'ao Island in the East China Sea.

The Five Elements Mountain suddenly rose into the sky.

Just when everyone thought that their master had calmed down and forgiven Dingguang Xian and the others...

Boom!

The Five Elements Mountain split into five large mountains, which crashed down and pressed down on the four people, Qiu Shou Xian, who were smiling and slowly getting up, saying that their master would definitely not punish them severely, and that it was just for show.

"what……"

This time, screams echoed through the air.
