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

Chapter 107 Taiyi, your retribution has come.
Wulong Mountain.

A mountain is not famous because of its height, but because of the immortals who dwell there.

The reason why Wulong Mountain is famous is because it is the Daoist temple of Manjushri, the Heavenly Venerable of the Twelve Golden Immortals of Jade Void.

At that moment, a streak of light flew into Five Dragon Mountain and transformed into a short, stout Taoist priest inside Cloud Cave.

Manjushri, Samantabhadra, and Cihang sat cross-legged on a futon.

Upon seeing the visitor, he quickly bowed and said, "Brother Juliusun."

After attending the meeting of the three religions (Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism) to jointly draft the Investiture of the Gods at Biyou Palace in the East Sea...

Apart from Yu Ding and the other two who left early, Yuan Shi led everyone back to Kunlun Mountain. After giving them some instructions, he sent the rest of them back to their respective mountains to await the great calamity.

The group of people who were close to each other gathered together to discuss how to deal with the calamity.

"Senior brother is late," Cihang said with a smile.

Ju Liusun smiled and sat down on the futon, saying, "I heard something interesting on the way here, so I'm late. Please forgive me, fellow disciples."

The three of them couldn't possibly blame them, and simply nodded slightly.

"The great calamity of the gods can perhaps be avoided by staying indoors."

Master Cihang shook his head and smiled bitterly: "But this time, we are facing a calamity, and we have no choice but to enter into it."

The other three looked rather grim.

"Speaking of which, why did Master send Yu Ding and the others away ahead of time?" Manjushri Bodhisattva pondered.

For some reason, he now has the feeling that his master is giving Yu Ding special training.

"What did he do? He went to deal with the trouble his apprentice caused, of course."

Ju Liusun sighed as he spoke, "But I must say that Yu Ding has taken on a good disciple. Perhaps he can take on this great calamity for the immortals in place of his master."

"Oh, senior brother, what do you mean?"

Upon hearing this, the three exchanged a glance, their expressions shifting.

Ju Liusun laughed and recounted the story of Yang Jian splitting Peach Mountain and causing havoc in the Heavenly Palace.

Hiss... After hearing these words, Puxian and Cihang exchanged a glance, unable to hide their shock.

"Having caused havoc in the Heavenly Palace, Yang Jian must have at least achieved the Dao of Immortals."

Puxian sighed, "It hasn't been that long, less than ten years to become a true immortal..."

"Wrong, Yang Jian has already attained the level of a Celestial Immortal!"

Ju Liusun was also somewhat envious: "This talent and aptitude... he should be the first of the three generations of our Chan Sect to achieve the Golden Immortal realm in the future."

The twelve Golden Immortals were also top-notch in terms of talent, but unfortunately, the environment back then was not as good as it is now.

A sudden wave of regret washed over the Heavenly Immortal… Samantabhadra and Cihang.

Suddenly, Master Puxian shook his head: "No, even if that kid has exceptional talent, great fortune, and amazing comprehension, and even if Yu Ding teaches him well, so much magical power still needs to be accumulated..."

Ju Liusun said with a strange expression, "That brat stole and ate the elixir of Laozi."

Three people: (ー_ー)
Was that senior master's incarnation done on purpose?

"What happened in the end?"

Manjushri Bodhisattva took a deep breath, clenched his right fist, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.

Ju Liusun sighed and said, "Our master bestowed upon Yang Jian the title of Protector of our Three Teachings, with the title of True Lord of Pure Source and Wondrous Way."

The Heavenly Court bestowed upon Erlang Shen the title of True Lord of Manifestation, appointing him to oversee the Guanjiang Estuary, granting him the authority to obey orders but not summons. His strength should be the greatest among the three generations of the Jade Void Sect…”

The number one person in three generations...

After saying these words, the four of them fell silent.

Among the second-generation disciples of the Chan Sect, the Antarctic Immortal is undoubtedly the first, having severed the Three Corpses and attained the Great Luo status.

Apart from the Antarctic Immortal, the magical powers of the twelve were roughly equal, and the outcome would depend on their supernatural abilities and magical treasures.

And among the third-generation disciples...

Yang Jian has already made a great name for himself and has basically become the number one person in three generations.

At this moment, Manjushri, the Heavenly Venerable of Vast Dharma, stood up and slowly walked out of the Cloud Cave.

"Where are you going, senior brother?" Puxian asked, startled.

"apprentice!"

Manjushri Bodhisattva said without turning his head, "If you want to be the number one person in three generations, you'll have to see if I agree."

Ju Liusun and the other two looked at each other in bewilderment.

Finally, he sighed helplessly.

It seems that Senior Brother Manjushri and Junior Brother Yuding are at odds...

"Master once told us not to be too obsessed with severing the three corpses, but to take on some disciples and pass on the Daoist teachings as soon as possible, so that the Chan Sect can flourish."

Master Puxian shook his head and said, "But we didn't listen. Now that our tribulation has arrived, it's time to find a disciple to help us complete this tribulation."

During a major catastrophe, it's best to stay home as little as possible.

When the disciples went out to help them deal with calamities, their time away from home was naturally reduced.

Ju Liusun and Cihang Zhenren remained silent this time.

"Senior brother..."

The astonished Master Puxian feared Liusun.

Ju Liusun coughed lightly and smiled, "As for my disciple, I have already found one and accepted him."

"Wh...when did this happen?" Puxian asked in astonishment.

Ju Liusun pondered for a moment and said, "Let's go before we go to Biyou Palace."

Good heavens... Master Puxian gave Julusun a deep look before turning to Cihang.

However, remembering Cihang's obsession with cleanliness, he couldn't help but ask excitedly, "Junior Brother, would you like to take on a disciple?"

Cihang Zhenren looked conflicted. After a long while, he slowly said, "I will cross over myself!"

"What courage..." Julusun and Puxian Zhenren exchanged a glance.

……

Yuxu Palace.

"..."

The three-headed dragon was momentarily speechless after Yu Ding uttered a single sentence.

Then, with red eyes and heavy breathing, he glared at Yu Ding and said, "As long as it's a female, it'll do!"

then……

This time, it was Yu Ding's turn to be speechless. He glanced deeply at the three-headed dragon, whose mind was clouded by desire.

Hiss, it's a vicious dragon!

He then glanced at the space between the three-headed dragon's legs and said, "If you really can't control yourself, I can cut it off for you."

With his fingers forming a sword-like gesture, two streams of energy, one black and one white, condensed and finally transformed into a sharp sword aura.

The three-headed dragon sensed the sword energy and immediately felt a chill rise in its abdomen. It shuddered violently, and the desire in its eyes quickly subsided like a tide.

Because he discovered that this Taoist priest was even more ruthless than him.

Do you still want women?

Yu Ding sneered, "I never thought of such an excessive request. You still want it."

The three-headed dragon chuckled dryly, "No, no, we are immortals, how can we indulge in desires like this?"

"Do you even remember where you are? How dare you shout like that?"

Yu Ding glanced at him and said, "If you can't control yourself, you'll get beaten to death sooner or later."

The three-headed dragon felt a chill run down its spine and said with a wry smile, "My master said this is the Jade Void Palace, but once that thought arises, I... can't control myself!"

"Oh?" Yu Ding examined the three-headed dragon closely and pondered.

According to science, the secretion of male hormones can cause males to lose their rationality, commonly known as "getting carried away," and act recklessly.

However, one explanation here is that it refers to the Three Corpse Worms.

The Three Corpses and Nine Worms: the Lower Corpse and the Three Worms are in charge of the desires of men and women and the appetite. Even immortals with some self-control can suppress these thoughts when they arise.

However, these three-headed dragons are of the dragon race, and the dragon race is indeed...

Yu Ding glanced at the three-headed dragon again with a strange expression.

Highly capable! Fierce! Full of energy!

After all, the glorious story of the dragon giving birth to nine sons with nine different animals has been widely circulated.

Once the idea takes hold, it becomes completely irresistible and difficult to suppress.

"That's it!"

Yu Ding snorted coldly, raised his hand to withdraw the Yin-Yang Sword Qi, and was about to turn and leave.

"Wait, Master, wait a minute..."

Seeing this, the three-headed dragon struggled desperately and became somewhat anxious.

Yu Ding turned around: "Is there anything else?"

The three-headed dragon's expression was complicated, with a bitter taste mixed with a hint of grievance as it said, "Master, you can't just take in Xiao San and leave her here unattended. Didn't you say she would be your mount?"

He initially submitted only out of a need to save his life.

Of course, as a dignified three-headed divine dragon, he was treated well by the Heavenly Court, so how could he be willing to be someone's mount? A mount is impossible, he would never be a mount in this lifetime.

Even if this Taoist priest is more powerful than him, it won't work.

His plan was to stall the other party first, and then find a chance to escape later...

But to his surprise, after taking him in, the other party first used this tattered red silk ribbon to bind him, and then abandoned him and never came back, as if they had forgotten his existence.

What does this mean?
He was bound and thrown into this cave, unable to break free, and the Jade Void Palace dared not make a big commotion.

And so... he could only lie on the cold ground, tears streaming down his face, longing for the days in Heaven.

You said there are many fairies in the Heavenly Court, with high looks, fair skin, and long legs. Although you can only look but not touch them, what's wrong with that? Why did he have to leave?

He originally thought that leaving the heavenly realm was an escape from the prison that had imprisoned him.

But now, he regrets it terribly.

"Little sister..." Yu Ding's lips twitched: "You evil dragon are inherently wicked, how could you willingly submit to me?"

Keeping you by my side is a disaster. If it weren't for Heaven's mercy in sparing your life, I would have killed you long ago.

The three-headed dragon was startled and quickly said with a forced smile, "Since Little Three has already recognized its master, it will never dare to have any disloyal thoughts in the future, otherwise may I be struck by lightning..."

Thunderbolts struck from the sky... Yu Ding silently glanced at the sky.

The numerous examples of oaths in the Investiture of the Gods prove that it's best not to make oaths or vows casually in this world.

Because it's very effective.

This three-headed dragon is extremely wild and powerful, making it unruly and driven by strong desires. Taming it is indeed not an easy task.

Then he raised his hand and chanted a spell. The Hun Tian Ling wrapped around the three-headed dragon suddenly glowed and fell off its body, flying back into Yu Ding's hand.

The three-headed dragon got up, stretched its neck and body, and bowed to the jade cauldron: "Thank you, Master."

Yu Ding grunted in agreement, then with a flick of his sleeve, he took the three-headed dragon inside.

"You shall stay in my sleeve for now!"

"Yes Yes Yes!"

The three-headed dragon readily agreed, as long as it could leave this damned cave.

In Heaven, he spent his days lying on the pillar, guarding the Lingxiao Palace. Here, he was bound day after day. This feeling was truly awful.

"Hey, block it, block it!"

"He's running that way! Everyone, stop him!"

"Don't let it get away..."

Just as Yu Ding was about to leave, a commotion suddenly broke out outside the cave.

Yu Xu's expression shifted, and he strode out of the cave. There he saw a palm-sized fire spirit pearl radiating light in the sky, floating up and down in Yu Xu Palace like a small sun.

The disciples of Jade Void Sect flipped and leaped, each displaying their Daoist arts to chase after the Fire Spirit Orb.

"Why is there such a commotion?" Yu Ding asked.

Upon seeing Yu Ding, the disciples' expressions stiffened, and they forgot all about chasing after Ling Zhu, quickly bowing and greeting him: "Senior Brother Yu Ding!"

Another disciple said, "Senior brother, there is a spirit stone in the Heavenly Pool behind our Jade Void Palace."

Having absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and the essence of the sun and moon, it has today been born as a Fire Spirit Pearl.

"This is a rare and precious treasure born of heaven and earth."

Now that no one was chasing it, the Fire Spirit Orb quietly hovered in mid-air, seemingly curiously examining the jade cauldron.

"Fire Spirit Orb, Spirit Orb..."

Yu Ding's expression immediately became subtle.

He had heard Taiyi mention that there was indeed a spiritual pearl being nurtured in the back mountains of Kunlun, which was also Taiyi's intended disciple.

If I'm not mistaken, it should be Nezha without a doubt.

Thinking of this, Yu Ding's lips curled into a smirk, and he burst into unrestrained laughter.

Every cause has its effect; old Taiyi, your retribution has come.

"Senior brother, do you intend to subdue this treasure?"

One disciple tentatively asked, while the others looked longingly at the Fire Spirit Orb and then at the Jade Cauldron, becoming somewhat dejected.

These treasures of heaven and earth originally belonged to whoever obtained them.

However, if this Golden Immortal senior brother intervenes, then they will undoubtedly have no chance at all.

But think about it, who wouldn't be tempted by such a treasure of nature?

“The treasures of heaven and earth are obtained by those who are destined to receive them.”

Yu Ding looked at the Fire Spirit Pearl and laughed, "This item is not meant for me!"

Upon hearing this, the previously dejected disciples perked up immediately, their eyes lighting up as they looked up.

This indicates that Senior Brother Yu Ding will not make a move on this spiritual object.

Then, after bowing to the jade cauldron, everyone used their magic to capture the fire spirit orb, attempting to subdue it.

The bead, as playful as a child, flew up and down in the sky with great agility, cleverly dodging the light of magic and the encirclement of magical treasures each time.

"bead!"

At that moment, inside the jade cauldron's sleeve, the three-headed dragon's eyes lit up upon seeing the Fire Spirit Orb, and it eagerly asked, "Master, may I try it?"

Thinking about the relationship between the beads and the dragon... Could it be that the dragon has no resistance to the beads?

Yu Ding felt a strange sensation, but calmly replied, "No!"

"why?"

"Don't forget you're still a wanted criminal by the Heavenly Court. Do you want to go out, get discovered, be reported to the Heavenly Court, and cause trouble for the Jade Void Palace?" Yu Ding said calmly.

hum!
Amidst the commotion, many Jade Void disciples discovered the Spirit Pearl and joined in, hoping to subdue this treasure of heaven and earth.

Some of the true immortal disciples even came, casting spells and summoning various magical artifacts.

Gradually, the Fire Spirit Orb lost its composure and was eventually trapped within a glowing net.

"Caught!"

The master who cast the spell was a true immortal. Upon seeing this scene, he became excited, changed his hand seals, and began to tighten the magic net.

laugh!
The Fire Spirit Orb recklessly broke through the magic net and rushed straight towards the jade cauldron.

Yu Ding's expression shifted. This bead was imbued with spirituality from the moment it was born, and at this moment he could even sense the bead's provocation towards him.

It's like a group of people staring intently at a beautiful woman, only to be ignored, while someone who plays hard to get by doesn't look at her at all, which piques the woman's interest.

However, I really have no interest in this spirit pearl or jade cauldron.

Firstly, Taiyi had already made a reservation, so it was not convenient for him to poach the employee.

Secondly, he really doesn't lack apprentices.

What's even more exhausting is that after taking in two true disciples, they ended up destroying the Heavenly Court twice.

Destruction is one thing, but this time, even the Primordial Father has sent him to repair the Heavenly Court...

Fortunately, his three disciples are all quite obedient, which makes him quite gratified.

Finally, the Fire Spirit Orb stopped right in front of the Jade Cauldron, within easy reach, and swayed up and down, full of provocation, as if saying, "Come and catch me!"
Seeing that it had stopped in front of the jade cauldron, even the boldest disciples dared not chase after it.

Yu Ding merely smiled faintly at the Fire Spirit Orb's provocation.

Then two streaks of snow-white light, like swimming dragons, flew swiftly from the distant void, only to become entangled with each other when they reached the Spirit Pearl.

Everyone quickly turned to look and saw two whisks in the hands of Huanglong and Taiyi Zhenren.

“Junior brother, the treasures of heaven and earth should be possessed by those who are destined to possess them. This time, I will not shirk my duty,” Huang Long said with a smile.

Taiyi smiled and said, "Senior brother, you are mistaken. When have you ever let a treasure pass you by?"
Besides, even before this pearl was born, I often preached to it and imparted my supernatural powers to it in the back mountains. It already knows me well, so please don't frighten it.

He then looked at the Fire Spirit Orb with a beaming smile and said, "Good boy, come to your uncle."

As he spoke… Huanglong looked astonished, then flew into a rage. This Taiyi was playing dirty tricks and disregarding the rules.

Yu Ding curled his lips. "Old Taiyi, you have no martial ethics. You're even secretly doing prenatal education."

The fake brotherhood between the two masters has been confirmed!

Looking at the two people with their forced smiles, he could almost see the sparks crackling and colliding in their eyes.

Or... how about we start fighting?
The other disciples sighed dejectedly.

Judging from the reactions of these two senior brothers to the Fire Spirit Orb, they probably don't have a chance.

Looking at Senior Brother Yu Ding, who stood calmly to the side, nodding and smiling, showing no ambition or strife, created a stark contrast.

Indeed, Senior Brother Yu Ding is the best!
Everyone sighed inwardly.

Only Senior Brother Yu Ding cares about his junior brothers, knowing they have no treasures, and is willing to give them a chance.

Even the Fire Spirit Orb's provocative advances in front of him failed to sway him in the slightest...

Before Taiyi could finish speaking, the Fire Spirit Orb suddenly burst into intense light and flames, setting the two intertwined whisks on fire and spreading rapidly towards Taiyi Huanglong along the whisks.

Disciples: ︿(￣︶￣)︿

You can't laugh out loud; you have to hold it in.

Yu Ding's lips couldn't help but curl upwards.

But this slap in the face came a little too fast...

P.S.: More tonight!
