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

Chapter 101 Master did a great job!
A streak of light appeared at the edge of their vision and rapidly approached them.

"It's..."

The echoes still reverberated in the Heavenly Palace when, in the blink of an eye, a stream of light swiftly arrived and transformed into two Taoist priests appearing before them.

Swish!
A host of literary immortals and divine generals, heavenly soldiers and guards... countless eyes turned in unison towards the direction from which the sound came.

Even Yu Ding felt uncomfortable under so many eyes and immediately shut his mouth.

And then, feigning nonchalance, glanced around...

How embarrassing!

Taiyi's teleportation ability was too fast. He arrived before he could even finish his last word, and was surrounded by so many eyes... more than 100,000.

But as he looked over there, Yu Ding's expression gradually froze.

Everywhere you look, there are wounded soldiers and sick people, floating ruins, and groans that never cease.

The only intact building is the magnificent palace behind the person wearing the imperial robes.

Seeing this, Taiyi Zhenren felt a pang in his heart and nudged Yu Ding with his elbow: "Junior brother, this..."

How are we going to handle this?
But he didn't receive a response after poking it.

no response?
Taiyi turned his head and saw Yu Ding standing there with a calm expression, as straight as a sculpture.

At this moment, Yu Ding, on the surface, was as composed as an old man with an unchanging, sage-like face.

In fact, at this moment he had an urge to fall to the ground and vomit three liters of blood while looking up at the sky, just like the character "对穿肠" (a Chinese idiom meaning "to pierce the intestines"), and collapse here.

Now that things have come to this, how am I supposed to know how to end this?

He didn't know how to handle the situation!

He felt a rush of blood to his eyes and temples, his vision went black, his temples throbbed, and he felt palpitations and dizziness...

"Junior brother is quite steady..." Taiyi thought with surprise.

He was horrified just watching this scene, but his junior brother was too ashamed to change his mind...

Boom boom boom!
Taiyi's expression shifted as he glanced at Yu Ding's chest, where he heard a rapid heartbeat.

That's more like it... Taiyi was satisfied. He had said that as a master, how could he possibly have no reaction to such a scene?!

Taibai looked at the two men and sensed their aura and appearance. He felt a chill and his expression changed immediately when he scanned them with his divine sense.

Unfathomable!

"What are the Daoist names of the two immortals, and in which immortal abode do they cultivate?" Taibai asked loudly.

Although he had been to the Jade Void Palace, it was only once. The Twelve Golden Immortals were also famous, but he had never interacted with or met them, so he didn't recognize them now.

"Qianyuan Mountain, Jinguang Cave, Taiyi Zhenren!"

Taiyi swept his whisk and bowed, saying, "Greetings to the Heavenly Emperor and fellow immortals."

Taiyi Zhenren...Jade Void Golden Immortal?
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the Heavenly Court personnel changed drastically, and their eyes lit up with joy.

The help is coming!

The names of the Twelve Golden Immortals are truly legendary.

Yuanshi Tianzun needs no introduction. It is said that he was a primordial deity who existed before the creation of the world. Later, he attained Hunyuan and became one of the most senior and powerful figures in the Three Realms. The Jade Void lineage he founded even had to give the Heavenly Court some respect.

The twelve true disciples of Yuanshi Tianzun were all of ancient origin, of extremely high seniority, and possessed great supernatural powers; they were all renowned and powerful beings in the primordial world.

Dealing with Yang Jian... is a piece of cake!
"Jinxia Cave on Jade Spring Mountain, Jade Cauldron Immortal..."

With a flick of his whisk, Yu Ding, without blushing or skipping a beat, and without even looking at Yang Jian, imitated Taiyi and said, "Greetings to the Heavenly Emperor and fellow immortals."

He wasn't sure if anyone here knew Master Yu Ding, so impersonating Huanglong Laotie was a bit too risky.

Jade Cauldron Immortal plus Taiyi Immortal...

Upon hearing this, the gods and immortals revealed undisguised joy on their faces.

Two great saviors!
Two powerful Golden Immortals... Taibai was also overjoyed and breathed a sigh of relief.

Now he was no longer worried about losing control of the situation.

Master and senior brother...

Yang Jian sighed inwardly. He felt guilty for not telling his master about saving his mother, so he dared not look at the jade cauldron.

Then he glanced at Taiyi twice, somewhat puzzled.

Why did this senior brother come along too?

"I wonder what brings you two immortals to my Heavenly Court today?" Haotian said calmly.

At the same time, his gaze swept over Yu Ding, Tai Yi, and Yang Jian.

Has Yang Jian's master arrived yet?
Was one of these two Yang Jian's master?

It's really strange. This time, I can only deduce that Yang Jian is related to the Chan Sect, but I can't figure out whose disciple he is.

That kid Yang Jian seems to be secretly glancing at Taiyi Zhenren. Could it be...?

Suddenly, Haotian looked at the jade cauldron and showed a look of surprise.

Why is this jade cauldron only associated with the Realm of Immortals?
His cultivation level has greatly decreased, and his realm has fallen... Could it be that he has made a mistake in his cultivation?

Those who have made mistakes in their cultivation are certainly busy recovering their cultivation level; they have no time or energy to waste on taking on disciples and teaching students.

It seems we can rule out one of the jade tripods.

Haotian began to focus on observing the small details between Taiyi and Yang Jian.

Taiyi coughed lightly: "I dare not deceive the Heavenly Emperor. This time, my master foresaw that the Heavenly Court would be in trouble and specially sent us to help."

"Oh, Heavenly Venerable..." Haotian sneered inwardly!
Your Chan Sect has produced some fine disciples! Splitting Peach Mountain, slaying divine generals, storming the Heavenly Court...

Of course, none of this matters; the more capable his nephew is, the happier he, as his uncle, will be.

What enraged him was who taught him the laws of heaven and earth, leaving the assembled gods speechless.

Of course, he could tolerate all of this.

But scolding one's uncle... It's the teacher's fault for not teaching properly. What kind of lousy and incompetent teacher taught this?

Upon hearing this, the gods were overjoyed.

Someone pointed menacingly at Yang Jian in the sky and laughed heartily, "You villain, did you hear that? Two powerful experts from the Jade Void Sect have arrived today. How can we tolerate your arrogance any longer? Surrender now!"

They're all in cahoots... Haotian glanced at his subordinates, sighed inwardly, and shook his head.

Yang Jian's expression was slightly strange. Hearing this, he snorted and said, "Have you overcome your love tribulation yet? If not, don't be so smug. Sooner or later you'll have to go through this too."

"Outrageous! You wretched creature, how could you have brought such calamity upon the Heavenly Court!"

Taiyi frowned and gave a light shout, sweeping his whisk across the ground: "Why don't you come down at once, surrender, and come back to Yuxu Palace with me to accept your punishment?"

Upon hearing this, the gods and immortals
You look at me, I look at you.

Something seems... off.

Does this sound like it's related to the Jade Void Palace?

Yang Jian shook his head: "I'm sorry, Immortal, I cannot comply with your request. This time, I must rescue my mother."

In order not to cause trouble for the sect,

He has decided not to mention his mentor.

"Hmph, what are you saying, you wretched child?"

Taiyi's face darkened, and a look of anxiety flashed in his eyes.

Why don't you know what's good for you, child? We can talk about anything when we get back to Jade Void Palace!
Then, he glanced disapprovingly at Yu Ding, who was standing beside him, head bowed in deep thought.

Why did you suddenly become mute?

This is your apprentice, why are you not saying a word?
This Taiyi is indeed different from Yang Jian... Haotian caught the hint of anxiety in Taiyi's eyes and sneered inwardly.

It's most likely from the Taiyi Sect!

At this moment, Yu Ding's mind raced, trying to figure out how to resolve this situation... but unfortunately, he had no way to do so.
At that moment, he felt as if he were standing on pins and needles, as if he had thorns in his back, and as if he had a fishbone stuck in his throat.

It felt like I was being deep-fried in a pan of oil.

too painful!

The first time, Yuan Hong was fine; he hid quietly in Yuquan Mountain and knew nothing.

But this time... I will never take on any more apprentices!
Yu Ding thought viciously to himself.

We won't accept any more.

Let whoever wants to take on disciples take them on; if I, Yu Ding, take on any more disciples, I will jump off Yuquan Mountain.

"Junior brother, what do you think should be done about this?"

Taiyi looked at the jade cauldron.

At this moment, Haotian suddenly asked, "Two immortals, how many of the Twelve Immortal Leaders of Jade Void have taken on disciples?"

Taking on a disciple... Yu Ding's heart skipped a beat, and he exchanged a glance with Taiyi.

"As far as I know, only my junior brother Daoxing has taken one in."

Yu Ding pondered for a moment and then slowly said, "As for the others... I don't know."

Taiyi nodded slightly to the side.

Haotian stared at the two and asked, "Have those two immortals taken on any disciples?"

Yang Jian immediately became anxious upon hearing this.

Haotian took in this scene and sneered with increasing certainty.

Yu Ding shook his head and sighed: "To be honest, I'm ashamed to say that I've encountered some problems in my cultivation in recent years, so..."

The rest is up to your imagination!
Just as I expected... Haotian nodded slightly and looked at Taiyi Zhenren.

After all, Yu Ding himself was only a True Immortal, while Yang Jian was already a Celestial Immortal. Even if a Golden Immortal with exceptional talent were to start over, there was no reason for his disciple to surpass him... This was unreasonable.

Taiyi withdrew his gaze and coughed lightly: "This humble Taoist does have the intention of taking on a disciple, but I haven't found one yet."

"Oh, then the immortal must find a good disciple."

Haotian gave Taiyi a deep look.

……

East Heavenly Gate.

A streak of yellow light slowly arrived, transforming into a Taoist priest in a yellow robe.

"You, Taiyi and Yuding, are far from being able to outmaneuver me..." Huanglong said with a smile.

He deliberately came slowly this time.

Wait until things are mostly resolved before going; this way, you won't violate Master's decree, and you won't get into trouble...

"who?"

The heavenly soldiers and generals became alert.

Huang Long raised his head, stroked his beard, and said proudly, "I am Huang Long Zhenren from Magu Cave on Erxian Mountain, a disciple of the Jade Void Sect!"

As a Golden Immortal of the Jade Void, he was still this arrogant even when he came to the Heavenly Court.

"Didn't Immortal Huanglong just go in? How come another Immortal Huanglong has arrived?" The heavenly soldiers and generals were stunned. Huanglong suddenly lowered his head: "What are you talking about? What do you mean 'just went in'? I just arrived!"

"Nonsense, Immortal Huanglong clearly went in with Immortal Taiyi just now."

The heavenly general asked warily, "Who are you, daring to impersonate the Yellow Dragon Immortal?!"

"Go in with Taiyi..."

Yu Ding, you inhuman... Huang Long immediately lost his composure after a moment's thought and rushed in anxiously.

If Yu Ding were to impersonate him, wouldn't his disciple become Huanglong Zhenren's?

"Halt! You should stay here and wait for Immortal Huanglong to come out and confront him before we talk," the heavenly general said warily.

The Taoist priest before me was unkempt, with a scraggly beard and disheveled hair, looking every bit the poor and shabby man…

How could the Twelve Golden Immortals be such scoundrels?

Then think about those two people from earlier, so otherworldly and refined... They're incomparable, incomparable!

boom!
Huang Long's gaze turned cold.
A terrifying aura of a Golden Immortal suddenly appeared.

The heavenly soldiers and generals present immediately collapsed to the ground with a thud and could never get up again.

"you……"

The heavenly soldiers and generals stared at the yellow dragon, their expressions changing drastically, their faces filled with horror.

The pressure was so immense that even a wisp of it felt like a mountain pressing down on these tiny ants.

"Listen carefully, I am the real Huanglong Zhenren."

Huang Long leaned down and snorted, "The Huang Long who just went in is my junior brother, Jade Cauldron True Man, remember that?"

"The Jade Cauldron Immortal of Jinxia Cave on Jade Spring Mountain, whatever he did in Heaven has nothing to do with me, Huanglong."

The heavenly generals could only blink, because under that oppressive force, they couldn't even nod.

Huanglong nodded in satisfaction and rushed into the Heavenly Court in a great hurry.

……

In front of the Tongming Hall.

"Then please, two immortals, subdue this wicked creature!" Haotian said calmly.

Taiyi looked up at Yang Jian.

"Two immortals, please wait. I, Yang Jian, was forced to fight against the Heavenly Court."
But you can see, from beginning to end I only injured them, I didn't kill them.

Yang Jian's expression changed drastically, and he shouted, "I only came here to debate the Heavenly Laws with your Heavenly Court. Do you dare?"

"If I win, you will pardon my mother's sins; if I lose, you can do whatever you want with me in Heaven—kill me or torture me—I will not resist. Do you dare?"

The gods' expressions changed; they had already witnessed this kid's understanding of the Heavenly Laws.

This is clearly superior to theirs!
Even Taibai was rendered speechless by the rebuttal. If they were to argue further, wouldn't they be asking for trouble?

So they looked at each other, trying to quickly persuade the two immortals not to agree to this.

"A mortal trying to argue with the Heavenly Court about the Heavenly Laws?"

Just as they were about to speak, Taiyi's expression changed, and he laughed, "Interesting, interesting, what do you think, Junior Brother?"

"I think it's a good idea. A gentleman uses words, not fists. Physical fighting is too crude and unbecoming of a deity. A civil contest is better."

The Heavenly Rules are the legal code governing the Heavenly Court's operations throughout the Three Realms, and certainly no one in the Three Realms is more familiar with them than the celestial beings of the Heavenly Court.

Yu Ding smiled smugly at Yang Jian: "Given the Heavenly Court's understanding of the Heavenly Laws, you're clearly the God of Longevity..."

Suddenly remembering that this old man was his senior brother, Yu Ding quickly changed his words: "You've lost your mind. Since you're so eager to die, why don't you immortals in Heaven grant his wish and let him die a clear and honest death?"

"Master did a great job..." Yang Jian's eyes lit up, and he almost cheered for Yu Ding's words.

His master's two words, seemingly mocking but actually helping, put the gods of Heaven on the stage, forcing them to accept the challenge.

A commoner from the mortal realm comes to the Heavenly Court to debate the law with you gods, and you dare not accept the challenge? Aren't you ashamed?

Wouldn't it be even more embarrassing to lose!
hiss……

Upon hearing this, the gods looked at each other, completely dumbfounded!

This Jade Cauldron Immortal spoke too quickly. Why didn't he discuss it with us first?
French Bulldogs... well, they have to be able to beat you!

Venus frowned and sighed inwardly.

If the Heavenly Court loses this time due to the Heavenly Laws, wouldn't those two Chan Sect immortals make a fool of themselves in front of the Heavenly Court?
"What does Your Majesty the Heavenly Emperor think?"

Taiyi and Yuding looked at Haotian with serious expressions.

Legend has it that Jade Cauldron Immortal is low-key and taciturn, but unexpectedly, this guy is the worst one, throwing out a powerful move that leaves people speechless... Haotian slowly nodded: "Granted!"

He wanted to find Yang Jian's master, but this matter was not urgent.

He originally planned to guide Yang Jian to obtain the Mountain-Splitting Axe, so that he could use the power of humanity to fight against the Heavenly Laws, and perhaps have a chance to split open Peach Mountain to rescue Yunhua.

However, things went wrong. Instead of splitting it open, he encountered further complications that were completely beyond his control.

Now... to borrow a phrase from Lao Tzu, let's just let nature take its course!
He wasn't too worried anymore. In any case, if his two disciples couldn't handle it in the end, there was still Yuanshi Tianzun to deal with!
Yu Ding threatened Yang Jian in the sky, "Kid, you just wait there. We'll pick a few people over here to argue with you, and you'll have nowhere to cry later."

Master's acting is really convincing... Yang Jian suppressed a laugh, snorted, and turned his head away with a disdainful look.

Why are you helping the Heavenly Court instead of your disciple... Taiyi looked at Yuding with concern, not knowing what Yuding had taught Yang Jian.

Yu Ding gave him a knowing look, assuring him that he could watch the show unfold.

"Immortal Jade Cauldron, you've been too hasty, too hasty!"

A group of immortals gathered together, all sighing and looking heavy-hearted.

"No... what's wrong with you guys?"

Taiyi said with a strange expression, "Isn't my junior brother trying to help you?"

Yu Ding also looked puzzled and confused.

"Immortal Taiyi, you may not know this, but the son of Yunhua has been missing all these years. Not only is he incredibly powerful, but he is also extremely familiar with the Heavenly Laws and the King's Laws."

Taibai sighed, "To be honest, his understanding and knowledge of the Heavenly Laws are deeper than that of us Heavenly Gods."

Yu Ding coughed lightly and said, "I heard that his mother used to be in charge of the Heavenly Laws in the Heavenly Court?"

Taibai's expression shifted: "Indeed, what's wrong? Has Immortal Jade Cauldron made any discovery?"

"I think..."

Yu Ding said in a serious tone, "This might be inherited from his mother!"

Taiyi Zhenren turned his head with an expression that said, "I don't recognize him."

I admire Junior Brother Yu Ding's ability to spout nonsense with such a straight face.

Venus, too, looked at the astonished Jade Void Immortal with a bewildered expression. He couldn't very well say that Venus was talking nonsense, so he could only cough and say, "Perhaps, cough cough!"

As he spoke, he looked at the devastated Heavenly Court and sighed, "Alas, it has only been a few hundred years, and the Heavenly Court has suffered such a calamity again."

Yu Ding felt guilty and shut his mouth, looking down at his nose and his mind, and did not speak again.

Taiyi, standing nearby, curiously chimed in, "I heard that last time a monkey demon caused a great disturbance in the Heavenly Court."

It's true what they say, people talk about what they're afraid of... Yu Ding's lips twitched.

Taibai sighed, "That's right, I suspect someone is targeting our Heavenly Court."

No, no, it's all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding... Yu Ding silently recited the calming mantra.

"Have you found out the lineage of that ape demon?" Master Taiyi asked in a deep voice.

Taiyi, that's enough... Yu Ding's forehead twitched.

Taibai shook his head: "I can't find out anything. I only know that Yuan Hong went to Dongsheng Shenzhou and came back with great supernatural powers. Now he is the king of Meishan."

"Can't find out? Hmph, it's so simple, why not just arrest him and interrogate him?" Taiyi said in a deep voice.

Don't let a monkey cause chaos ahead of time... no, it has already happened... Yu Ding was helpless.

Taibai shook his head: "Yuan Hong is already a Celestial Immortal and possesses great supernatural powers. We... cannot defeat him."

Yuan Hong's disciple has already reached the Celestial Realm?!
Haha, you've made progress again, that's great, I'm very pleased.

While feeling gratified, Yu Ding suddenly realized that cleaning up the sect would make things much more difficult... Yu Ding felt somewhat frustrated; this Nine Revolutions Profound Technique was just too slow.

"Heh, once the Heavenly Court's affairs are settled, my junior brother and I will make a trip to Meishan."

Taiyi said in a deep voice, "Capture this ape demon and ask him who his master really is. He dared to harm us last time..."

If Yuan Hong hadn't caused such a ruckus in the Heavenly Palace, would the Heavenly Emperor have allowed the Twelve Golden Immortals to submit to the Heavenly Court last time?
Fortunately, their master helped them block it, but the karmic consequences were enormous.

Although a long time has passed,
But he, Taiyi Zhenren, has never forgotten.

Previously, I was busy eliminating the three corpses and nine worms, but now that there is no hope at all, it is time to resolve this cause and effect.

"Hiss, Senior Brother Taiyi is so vengeful, is he a Scorpio?" Yu Ding kept wiping his sweat.

Fortunately, he was there this time; otherwise, if Taiyi had gone alone, Yuan Hong's disciple would have been in big trouble.

"Junior brother, why are you sweating again?"

"I'm about to have a legal debate, I'm a little nervous!" Yu Ding said, talking nonsense.

They quickly selected five celestial beings from the Heavenly Court, but all of them looked timid and hesitant.

"Taibai, why don't you go up?" Taiyi asked curiously.

Venus sighed and said with a wry smile, "To my shame, I was just speechless when that brat refuted me in the Heavenly Laws."

After listening to the story, Taiyi looked at the jade cauldron beside him with a completely bewildered expression.

Goodness, what have you been teaching your apprentice?
Yu Ding immediately shifted his gaze to the five selected representatives and asked Tai Bai, "Are they the representatives?"

Taibai nodded: "That's right, they used to follow Fairy Yunhua and were in charge of enforcing the laws of the Heavenly Court."

"Let's get a feel for our disciples first..." Yu Ding asked. "How familiar are they with the Heavenly Rules?"

Taibai sighed: "It's already pretty much the best among all the immortals."

"Oh, choosing the best among the worst..." Yu Ding nodded slightly, looking at the five unsure-about people, and took two steps in front of them before saying:

"You'll be arguing with that kid later, so to prepare you mentally..."

"I'll start by asking you a few questions he might ask, based on his own line of thinking. This will allow you to discuss them beforehand, so you're well-prepared and have more confidence. How does that sound?"

This guy is really that kind... Haotian and Taishang Laojun exchanged a glance and looked over here.

The five immortals were overjoyed and hurriedly asked, "Please ask, Immortal!"

Yu Ding glanced at the five people: "But before that, I need to check your basic skills. Come, each of you, recite the Heavenly Laws from beginning to end for me..."

Five immortals: ∑(O_O？)
"No, no?"

Yu Ding was taken aback: "No one can recite it? You guys said that kid could recite the Heavenly Rules backwards fluently..."

Five immortals: (_)
Their already dwindling confidence was instantly shattered.
confirmed!
This jade cauldron isn't here to boost confidence, it's here to mess with people's mentality... Haotian raised his hand to rub his temples.

When Yunhua was in heaven, he didn't worry about enforcing the law;

After Yunhua left the Heavenly Court, he also read through the Heavenly Rules, but only superficially, and got a general impression of them.
But if you make him carry it...

Perhaps the greatest advantage of being the Heavenly Emperor is that you don't have to deal with these troublesome rules and regulations.
