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

Chapter 14 Indescribable
Looking at the jade box, Yu Ding gritted his teeth and covered it with an open scroll of heavenly book.

"Out of sight, out of mind. What the original owner could seal away must not be a good thing."

Yu Ding thought to himself, "You are no longer the Yu Ding you used to be. Now you're just a weakling. Before you have any strength, you must be extremely careful!"

Two and a half months passed in this way.

"Master, Master, come quickly and see Senior Brother Yuan Hong..."

Qingyun rushed in anxiously and reported to Yuding with a panicked expression.

Over the years, Qingyun and Yuan Hong got along very well, even after Yuan Hong became Yuding's apprentice and his status changed.

However, the bond between the man and the monkey remained unchanged, and Qingyun was very concerned about Yuan Hong's safety.

During these days, Qingyun would come to Yuding every now and then to report on the situation.

Yu Ding also secretly visited Yuan Hong several times.

Although it wasn't Yang Jian, this was the first disciple Yu Ding had ever taken in, which held a special significance for him.

In his eyes, Yuan Hong at this moment was not the powerful, audacious, and reckless Meishan Demon King from the Investiture of the Gods who dared to oppose the Chan Sect.

Rather, it is a being with perseverance, willpower, and a desire to seek immortality and enlightenment.

Although his master was not very skilled at imparting knowledge and teaching, all he could do was throw the secrets at them and let his disciples learn on their own.

But now that he had accepted the offer, Yu Ding had to live up to his disciples' expectations and respect, as well as the title of "Master" they had given him.

He doesn't know how to teach cultivation, that's true, but is there no one else he can teach besides a cultivation master?

Not also!

He could also be Xiao Yuan's mentor in terms of mental health!
Instill in Yuan Hong the correct values, help him distinguish between good and evil, right and wrong, and prevent him from doing bad things. Encourage him to strive to be a good monster, embark on the righteous path, and eventually achieve enlightenment.

So, how could you not accept being called "Master"?

"Don't worry, let me go and take a look."

Yu Ding glanced at the jade box, quickly got off the cloud bed, and went to the cave entrance to look in Yuan Hong's direction.

Then they saw that Yuan Hong was still sitting there motionless, like an old monk in meditation.

"Master, what's wrong with Senior Brother Yuan Hong?"

Qingyun looked worried, but when he looked at Yu Ding, he saw that Yu Ding was calm and unhurried.

"He has grasped the essence of the Heavenly Book and entered a state of enlightenment."

Yu Ding said, "From now on, you will protect him every day, never leaving his side, and make sure nothing disturbs him."

Qingyun said, "I understand."

His face even showed an expression that was exactly what he expected.

And so, another six months passed.

"Master, Master..."

"I'll go check right away."

The two then arrived at a place not far from where Yuan Hong had attained enlightenment, and saw that Yuan Hong's body was radiating a layer of golden light.

Endless spiritual energy surged towards Yuan Hong from all directions, eventually forming a vortex above his head and pouring into him.

Then, Qingyun saw his master turn around and walk into the cave without saying a word.

"Master?!" Qingyun exclaimed in surprise.

"Don't worry, he has been comprehending the Dao for the past two weeks, and he has now comprehended the Dao that I passed on to him."

Yu Ding's calm voice came: "At this moment, his essence, energy, and spirit are united and he is at the Heavenly Gate. Do not go and disturb him."

Everything went exactly as he had predicted.

Yuan Hongzhen truly grasped the cultivation method of the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts and entered the beginner level.

"The three elements unite to break through the Heavenly Gate?"

Qingyun was stunned for a moment, then looked at the figure in shock and said, "Senior Brother Yuan Hong is trying to break through to the Void Returning Realm?"

He was shocked.

The path of cultivation has three major realms: refining essence, refining qi, and refining spirit. After that, the three elements of essence, qi, and spirit are united, and one breaks through the Heavenly Gate to enter the Realm of Returning to Emptiness.

He was originally a young boy at the foot of the jade cauldron, but was later enlightened by the master and became a page.

Years passed, and he gradually cultivated to the twelfth level of Qi Refining, beginning his preparations for the Spirit Refining Realm.

But Yuan Hong arrived even later than him, yet he reached the Void Returning Realm so quickly...

Unbelievable!

After all, the cultivation process for beings of different kinds to become sentient is inherently slow.

Only by transforming into human form can one accelerate cultivation and learn Taoist techniques and supernatural abilities suitable for the human race.

Yu Ding didn't say a word and disappeared from his sight without looking back.

If someone were standing in front of the jade cauldron, they would see that the cauldron looked as if it had been punched in the chest.

The expression on his face was exactly the same as the meme left by Master Huanglong standing at the cave entrance years ago. He had been looking at that scroll of heavenly book forwards for three years and backwards for three years, gaining nothing, while Yuan Hong had only needed half a month to…

Zhenzhen'er's damage isn't high, but her insults are extremely strong!
……

When Yuan Hong awoke from his enlightenment, he felt refreshed and invigorated, experiencing an indescribable sense of comfort.

"what!"

Yuan Hong stretched.

"woke up?"

At that moment, a faint voice came from behind him.

"Hiss, a ghost..."

The shout startled Yuan Hong so much that his hair stood on end. He leaped out of his seat and stood in mid-air, looking back with lingering fear.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a jade tripod.

He was sitting cross-legged on a blue stone under a tree behind him.

This made him swallow the "ah" that followed "ghost".

Yu Ding kept his eyes closed and said calmly, "What?"

"Kneel and pay your respects!"

With a thought flashing through his mind, Yuan Hong suddenly took a step forward and knelt down on the cliff, saying with a smile, "Disciple pays respects to Master."

Then, Yuan Hong glanced at the jade cauldron and the large rock beneath him, and suddenly his eyes turned red.

Yu Ding asked calmly, "What's wrong?"

“When I am trying to understand the Dao, I often feel that someone is guarding me here, protecting me for a while before leaving.”

Yuan Hong said with emotion, "I never imagined that it was my master who had been protecting me all along."

He felt that his master was warm and considerate!

He used to think that his master was as aloof and otherworldly as a legendary immortal.

But as they spent more time together, he gradually discovered that this master was somewhat different from other immortals.

This master did not discriminate against him because he was a demon, nor did he withhold anything from him. He not only gave him supreme profound skills but also taught him the concept of forging his own path.

Yes, it was only after he grasped the true essence of the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts that he realized how powerful it was.

Not to mention the supernatural powers and techniques that followed, some incredibly powerful and others infinitely mysterious.

“That’s not your teacher, that’s Qingyun.”

Yu Ding said, "He has been having stomach problems these past two days, so it just so happens that I am here."

Yuan Hong paused for a moment, then suddenly realized and laughed, "So it's Qingyun!"

Yes, yes!
How could a master, in his capacity, acknowledge protecting his disciple?

I have to consider my master's feelings.

Yu Ding glanced at him. Why was this child looking at him so strangely?

Hey, I really didn't lie to you!
Yu Ding was speechless; what he said was true.

Of course, he was indeed paying attention to this apprentice.

Although he threw out the heavenly book and told Yuan Hong to study it on his own, how could he not worry about problems arising from self-study?

However, for the sake of his reputation and image, he only observed in secret, without letting that little brat Qingyun find out.

"You've figured out the profound technique?" Yu Ding asked calmly.

But now that I've figured it out...
Good disciple, quickly share some experience with your master!
Yuan Hong nodded emphatically and said excitedly, "Yes, and I have also mastered some Taoist arts."

Yu Ding's eyes lit up: "So, how did you feel about this profound skill after you practiced it?"

After pondering for a long time, Yuan Hong slowly uttered eight words: "Supreme secret, infinitely profound."

"Of course, what I'm passing on to you is the number one guardian divine skill of my Xuanmen."

Yu Ding suppressed his eagerness and said calmly, "Well, but to prevent you from going astray, tell me what you've learned first, and I'll see if you've gone astray."

After a long pause, Yuan Hong slowly uttered four words: "Ineffable!"

"and then?"

Yu Ding eagerly awaited.

Yuan Hong thought for a moment and said, "It's over!"

"Is...it over?"

Yu Ding almost thought he had misheard.

I feel like you're fucking kidding me!

But I have no evidence!
