I started with Dragon Elephant Prajna, and I pushed forward with my skill points.

Chapter 117 When Yu Ding grasped the sword, he was already invincible.

There are too many people with all sorts of strange ideas in this world.

Some people, for reasons unknown, come to live on the banks of the Zimu River to change their gender.

Of course, these are not important.

Because Guanyin was only focused on refining the Pure White Lotus, she didn't notice the changes in herself at all.

Ultimately, she was also influenced by the mysterious power of the Zimu River and turned into a woman.

However, Cihang Daoren is also Guanyin.

However, this misfortune turned into a blessing, as the benevolent corpse of Guanyin, who was sent to deliver a child, was cut out, and the waters of the Zimu River became the key to her sending a child.

Master Yuding split his sword into five pieces, severing the path of Daoist Ran Deng and turning Daoist Cihang into a woman.

Manjushri, the Heavenly Venerable of Vast Dharma, Samantabhadra, and the Ancient Buddha Julusun suffered even greater losses.

Even now, they are just ordinary Great Luo Golden Immortals, unable to condense a Dao Fruit, and cannot even sever their Three Corpses.

It was with this sword strike that Jade Cauldron Immortal ascended to the top ten Quasi-Saints.

In the past three hundred years, Master Yuding has only made a move once.

The public was not very familiar with his abilities.

Some people consider him to be the tenth of the top ten quasi-saints.

Having personally faced the sword of Jade Cauldron Immortal, the evil corpse of Kunpeng Ancestor could only say that this ranking was too superficial.

In that instant, even the Kunpeng Ancestor believed that Jade Cauldron True Man should be ranked alongside Tathagata as one of the top ten Quasi-Saints.

The Buddha, the master of the Western Vulture Peak, is undoubtedly the number one among the top ten quasi-saints.

During the great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods, the four sages were shameless and joined forces to fight against the Tongtian Sect Leader.

The Tongtian Sect Leader was defeated, and in the chaos, the four swords in the formation were respectively taken by Yu Ding Zhenren, Dao Xing Tianzun, Guang Chengzi, and Chi Jingzi, thus breaking the Zhuxian Formation.

The Immortal Slaughtering Formation Diagram, however, fell into the hands of Daoist Duobao.

Later, in order to disrupt the Buddhist order, under the arrangement of the Sage Taiqing, Daoist Duobao converted from barbarian to Buddhist and became the master of Mahayana Buddhism.

The two Western saints were somewhat dissatisfied with the Taoist Ran Deng, whose cultivation and foundation for enlightenment had been severed, so they voluntarily handed over the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss to Tathagata, who was an incarnation of the Taoist Duobao.

By uniting Theravada and Mahayana Buddhism, not only was Taiqing Sage's scheme to create division thwarted, but the Buddhist community also gained Duobao Daoren and the Zhuxian Formation Diagram for no apparent reason.

Without the four swords of Zhuxian, under the guidance of the two Western Saints, Daoist Duobao found another way and cut out the evil corpses of the Five Directions Bright Kings, replacing the four fundamental elements of earth, water, wind, and fire that were meant to kill, trap, and annihilate with the five elements.

Although the evil corpse of the Buddha controls the five elements, the Zhuxian Sword Formation, combined with the Zhuxian Formation Diagram, can be called a pseudo-Zhuxian Sword Formation.

Even the pseudo-Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation was sufficient, allowing Daoist Duobao to become the number one figure in Journey to the West.

The fact that the Kunpeng Ancestor placed Yu Ding Zhenren and Duobao Daoren together is enough to demonstrate the power of Yu Ding Zhenren in his mind.

To be honest, all cultivators were somewhat baffled by the power of Jade Cauldron Immortal.

Back then, in the Investiture of the Gods, Yu Ding Zhenren's record wasn't very impressive.

Even more so, under the Hunyuan Golden Cauldron in the clouds, his magical power was diminished, and he became a mortal.

However, even after he became a mortal and started cultivating again, he didn't know what happened, but he easily completed the Golden Immortal Dao Fruit, the Taiyi Golden Immortal Dao Fruit, and the Daluo Dao Fruit, becoming one of the top ten Quasi-Saints in one fell swoop.

Some say that he disliked internal strife and did not demonstrate his true fighting power during the Investiture of the Gods.

Some say that his magical power was deliberately stripped away by the Hunyuan Golden Cauldron in order to rebuild his Dao fruit.

No one knew exactly what had happened, but they all knew that he was now even stronger.

The evil corpse of the Kunpeng Ancestor had already sensed the danger and naturally made its move at the first moment.

"go with!"

The Kunpeng retracted its claws, then pointed again, and eighteen banners fluttered up at once, instantly creating gusts of cold wind and a surge of chilling waves, which blocked the sword light.

However, Master Yu Ding's sword was too fierce; in front of it, anything would be easily destroyed.

The eighteen banners were cut in one fell swoop, and even the hand that had swung out the eighteen banners fell to the ground and turned into a pool of filthy blood.

Upon seeing this, the true form of the Kunpeng Ancestor in the Northern Sea wished he could immediately emerge.

But he eventually gave up on doing so.

Among the top ten quasi-saints, Kunpeng Ancestor has a mortal enemy, Zhen Yuanzi.

Once his true form emerges from the Northern Sea, it will surely provoke Zhen Yuanzi into a fierce attack.

Zhen Yuanzi possesses the Earth's membrane, making him invincible in the Immortal Realm.

Just as he was in the Northern Underworld and Styx Ancestor was in the Blood Sea, they were able to remain undefeated among the top ten Quasi-Saints. This is the advantage of playing on home turf.

Unable to leave Beiming, are we just supposed to watch our disciple, Jiao Mowang, be beaten to death, or even skinned alive?
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him, and he came up with a solution.

"Haotian, you don't want to become a mortal enemy of one of the top ten quasi-saints either."

You don't want to wait until the Demon Clan's Heavenly Court is established, and then have all the Heavenly Kings keeping a close eye on your subordinates, do you?
"Now, immediately order your subordinate Li Jing to use the Linglong Pagoda to subdue Nezha and force Nezha to release the Flood Dragon Demon King!"

The threat from the Kunpeng Ancestor made the Jade Emperor's face turn ugly.

Now, in front of all the gods, Buddhas, and demons, his subordinates are vanquishing demons and monsters. This is an act that brings honor to the Heavenly Court. Instead of rewarding them, he is trying to stop them.
This has a really bad impact.

However, he ignored Kunpeng's message.
Now, in his power struggle with the Ziwei Emperor, he is already showing signs of being at a disadvantage.

The establishment of the Heavenly Court of the Demon Race, mixed with the schemes of the Demon Race and Buddhism, became an unstoppable trend.

Once the Heavenly Court of the Demon Race is established, what will be his fate in the face of the alliance between the Demon Race and the Heavenly Court's Emperor Ziwei?
The Jade Emperor, unwilling to think further, said: "Alright!"

However, I also have one condition.

"After the Demon Clan's Heavenly Court is established, you will need to join me in targeting the Ziwei Emperor."

The Jade Emperor then took the opportunity to make a request.

For the Kunpeng Ancestor, this is not a request, but rather good news.

After all, from the perspective of the demon race's Heavenly Court, the internal discord within Haotian's orthodox Heavenly Court was a good thing in itself. Now that the agreement had been reached, Haotian instructed Li Jing to take action.

Upon hearing the news, Li Jing was also at a loss: "Whatever I do in private is fine, but now that all the gods and Buddhas are watching, you want me to protect the Flood Dragon Demon King?"

Li Jing's mind became biased.

But what choice does he have?

Can I refuse?
How to refuse?

Li Jing had no choice but to go down a dark path.

However, at this time, we need to take a break from the art of language.

"You unfilial son, stop right now!"
Indeed, this Flood Dragon Demon King has committed a heinous crime!

They also need to be investigated by the Heavenly Court's Inspectorate Officers before being handed over to the Thunder Department, the Fighting Department, and other departments for punishment.

If the issues involved are too significant, they may require the intervention of the Jade Emperor, the Great Heavenly Venerable, in the Lingxiao Palace.

You have overstepped your bounds by killing monsters without authorization.

Li Jing's words were full of righteous indignation, but once they caught the attention of some people, it became clear that he lacked confidence.

There are no fools here; some people have already guessed the crux of the matter.

Someone informed Li Jing to take action.

It's unclear whether it was Li Jing's master, Dipankara Buddha, or the Jade Emperor.

For some reason, the domineering Li Jing suddenly felt a chill that enveloped his entire body and almost froze him.

"Where does this real threat of killing originate?"

Following his intuition, Li Jing looked over there.

It was Nezha sitting on the back of the Flood Dragon King.

Seeing that it was Nezha who was unleashing his murderous intent, all of Li Jing's worries vanished.

Back then, Daoist Ran Deng had already harbored ulterior motives. When Master Taiyi was refining Nezha's lotus true body, he secretly collected some of the materials for the lotus true body.

These materials are of the same origin as Nezha's lotus body.

In the world of Investiture of the Gods, one can kill a Great Luo Golden Immortal simply by using birth date and time and the Seven Arrows of Nailhead Book.

Having obtained the lotus root that forms Nezha's body, the Taoist Ran Deng can naturally subdue Nezha.

Confident that he had the Linglong Pagoda to restrain Nezha, Li Jing remained calm and unconcerned about Nezha's murderous intent. Instead, he sternly reprimanded him: "You unfilial son, what kind of look is that? I'm doing all this for your own good!"

"For my own good?"
Ha ha!

You associate with demons and take the pipa spirit as a concubine, all for my own good.

You destroyed my temple and killed my mother in front of me, all for my own good?

You used the Demon-Refining True Fire to temper my body, making me subject to your control. Is this for my own good?
You once studied under the Master Du'e, but later switched your allegiance to the Daoist Ran Deng. It was all for my own good.
You were clearly a subject of the Yin-Shang dynasty, yet you betrayed your promise and defected to the Zhouyuan region.

You were summoned by the Heavenly Court to be the Grand Marshal for Subduing Demons, yet you show no gratitude for the Heavenly Court's great favor and instead associate with demons. To call you a traitor who has served three masters is an understatement.

Is all of this for my own good?

You're so good to me!
correct!

Are you going to argue that you didn't associate with demons?
We won't go into the story of the pipa spirit from the Yin-Shang period.

"Dare you say that the golden-nosed, white-haired rat demon of the Bottomless Cave in Trapped Sky Mountain has nothing to do with you?"

Nezha's series of words can be said to have shattered people's worldview.

Many people cast skeptical glances at Li Jing, only to find that he did not immediately refute them, but instead showed a look of shock.

They seemed puzzled as to how Nezha knew about this.

Of course, the shock was only momentary.

Anger is eternal; his inner darkness has been exposed, and predictably, he has become a laughingstock among the gods and immortals.

He was right.

"The dignified Grand Marshal of the Heavenly Court who subdues demons: not only does he favor his concubine over his wife, but the concubine he favors is also a monster. How ironic."

Even the Ziwei lineage, which is not aligned with the Haotian lineage, or ordinary immortals and gods, all looked at Li Jing differently.

The murmurs and whispers only fueled his anger.

At this moment, Li Jing disregarded everything else and completely revived the Thirty-Three-Story Pagoda.

The intention was to use the Demon-Refining True Fire within the Thirty-Three-Story Pagoda to melt down something of the same origin as Nezha, thereby plunging Nezha into agony.

This time, however, the scene of Nezha wailing did not occur.

"This, this, this?"

Li Jing couldn't believe it.

The gods and immortals were also taken aback.

Many people know why Li Jing could use the thirty-three-story exquisite pagoda to restrain Nezha.

Seeing this, many people fell into deep thought.

"If the Linglong Pagoda cannot suppress Nezha, it means that Nezha's lotus true form has lost contact with the lotus root in the Linglong Pagoda."

In other words, Nezha at this point is no longer in his lotus form.
If it's not the true form of the lotus, then what is it?

Only then did everyone vaguely understand why Nezha was able to form the Taiyi Dao Fruit.

Because Nezha broke free from the constraints of his lotus true form.
