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

Chapter 72 has a fairly high success rate.
Yu Ding's clone left the street and began looking for work in the city.

The Jie Sect's method of transforming disciples into mortals involves disciples descending the mountain to support dragons and assist human kings, thereby gaining enlightenment through a period of good fortune, or descending the mountain to slay demons and accumulate merit...

However, Yu Ding's thinking was different from both of these, so he had no answer as to whether he could succeed in using his clone to perform mortal deeds.

Of course, if that doesn't work, he can always find other methods.

Fortunately, he was lucky. Before dark, while looking for work, he met an old man who was blind in one eye. The old man asked him if he would like to work at his shop.

As an immortal, it's impossible for me to work a regular job... but I can create clones.

The old man ran a paper offering shop. He had lived a lonely life without a wife or descendants. Because of his old age and frailty, it was inconvenient for him to work alone, so he decided to hire someone.

Here, Yu Ding learned a new skill... paper making!
Several years later, the old man passed away. After Yu Ding buried him, he took over the shop.

Business is neither good nor bad, it's just the cycle of birth, aging, sickness, and death.

This is a hurdle that no mortal can avoid, but it is also a business of extortion, so people who don't need it usually avoid it.

As time went by, after a long period of solitude, the clone slowly folded a small paper figure on a stormy night, closed its eyes, and its form vanished.

Yu Ding, on Mount Kunlun, opened his eyes and woke up, silently sorting through the memories of his clones over the years.

"I've gained something..." After a short while, Yu Ding nodded after receiving the chaotic memories, indicating that he was on the right track.

Although he was truly immersed in the experience and felt as if he had become a mortal, he still retained the memories of an immortal and lacked that... sense of immersion!

However, it is enough to become an immortal. This time, he is becoming an immortal, not trying to become a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

A Grand Luo Golden Immortal… this is practically at the top of the food chain in this universe, second only to that one-of-a-kind old man. After all, a Primordial Grand Luo Golden Immortal is still a Grand Luo Golden Immortal!
The Golden Immortal can be considered a powerful figure in his own right, and by some calculation, he seems to have already been classified as a fourth-rate expert.

Whether this method of transforming oneself into an ordinary person is suitable for him ultimately depends on his personal experience. If it works, then it's acceptable.

However, there were still some shortcomings, so Yu Ding began to improve this method.

Half a month later, another clone was sent down Kunlun Mountain by the Jade Cauldron.

“Transformation into Mortal…” In the Jade Void Palace, Yuanshi glanced in the direction of the Jade Cauldron’s cave, then slowly closed his eyes again.

This time, Yu Ding's clone wasn't very lucky. It arrived in a war-torn country and was immediately conscripted.

After a brief training session, they were sent to the battlefield to fight, and every day people around them fell and never got up again.

Years later, the clone was shot into a pincushion and its soul returned to its hometown.

Yu Ding suddenly woke up with a start, touching his body. His face was pale and sweat was beading on his forehead. How could this time be so real!
It seems that all the mental and physical memories he poured into his clone have been lost... This time, it was as if he had truly experienced death, and the effect was surprisingly good.

At this moment, Yu Ding's expression shifted; sensing some movement within his sleeve, he removed the restriction on it...

A series of "whimpering" sounds of struggle rang out.

The three-headed dragon... Yu Ding's lips twitched, and he quickly made a hand seal and pointed to the ground. With a beam of spiritual light, the three-headed dragon, which was bound like a dumpling, struggled and landed on the ground.

He glared at the jade cauldron with a face full of grief and indignation, and made a sound through his mouth which was bound by the Hun Tian Ling.

You can say that the Taoist priest took him as a mount, but at least let him go!
He had heard that there was a process called "taming the eagle" when humans tamed eagles, and he originally thought that the Taoist priest also wanted to use this method to tame his wild nature.

So he waited and waited...

And so it went on for seventy or eighty years, without the Taoist priest giving him any instructions or punishments, as if... he had completely forgotten his existence.

This is outrageous!

Yu Ding waved his sleeve and released the seal from his mouth... He was so focused on Hua Fan that he forgot about this guy.

"You stinking Taoist priest, you're bullying me..."

"Shh!"

Yu Ding shook his head: "Do you know where this is?"

The three-headed dragon shook its head blankly: "I don't know!"

Yu Ding said, "This is Kunlun Mountain, Yuxu Palace, the Daoist temple of the Chan Sect. I am a guest here. If you don't want to die... shut up!"

"Jade Void Palace?" The three-headed dragon was taken aback.

Yu Ding glanced at the three-headed dragon, who obediently remained silent this time. Then, he took a deep breath, and an incredibly rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth surged into his nostrils.

It really is the Jade Void Palace... The three-headed dragon was shocked. Having served in the Heavenly Court, he was considered a dragon who had seen the world.

Such a rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth is definitely a top-tier holy land in the Three Realms, and it can be counted on one hand in the entire world.

Despite being called Jade Void Palace, this stinky Taoist priest didn't seem to be lying to him.

So who exactly is this Taoist priest?
The Twelve Golden Immortals?

But why did he say he was a guest at Yuxu Palace?
The three-headed dragon was somewhat confused.

While staring at the three-headed dragon, Yu Ding was also thinking about something else or someone else.

Yunhua...

It was because Fairy Yunhua secretly married Yang Jun that he had his disciple who would later be known as the God of War.

Afterwards, the Heavenly Emperor imprisoned Yunhua under Peach Mountain, and Yang Jian was hunted down by the Heavenly Court. He then became an apprentice to learn martial arts and split the mountain to rescue his mother...

This matter originally had little to do with him, if he weren't called Yu Ding.

Unfortunately, Yu Ding was Yang Jian's master. The one suppressing Yun Hua was the Heavenly Emperor, and Yang Jian's desire to split the mountain to rescue his mother naturally required him to oppose the Heavenly Court…

Thinking about this, Yu Ding couldn't help but feel a bit overwhelmed.

As a child, saving his mother was not wrong, but as a disciple of the Chan Sect, this action undoubtedly deepened the conflict between the Chan Sect and the Heavenly Court.

It is well known that the relationship between the Chan and Jie sects is very tense, and the relationship between the two sects and the Heavenly Court is also not easy.

There was already the story of Haotian making the Twelve Golden Immortals submit, and his master sending the Antarctic Immortal to stop the Heavenly Emperor from making unreasonable demands.

If we could also recruit Yang Jian, who harbors hatred towards the Heavenly Court...

This cause and effect could absolutely be a reason for the Heavenly Emperor to make the Twelve Golden Immortals submit to him once again.

Yu Ding felt a slight unease.

With the great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods imminent, the Three Realms will be the chessboard, and all living beings will be the pieces. Only a few top-tier figures will be qualified to play the game.

At that time, all the various forces will be scheming against each other. Yang Jian doesn't believe that no one is involved in plotting or instigating things.

If Yang Jian had allowed the Heavenly Emperor to use this as an excuse to attack the Chan Sect again, how could the other members of the Twelve Golden Immortals have a good attitude towards him?

Putting aside everyone else, Yu Ding was certain that Manjushri Bodhisattva would hold a grudge against him.

If he were a Golden Immortal-level expert, it would be fine, but the karma this time is too great, and he probably can't handle it alone, so... it seems best not to accept this disciple.

Of course, you can't always be so sure of what you're saying, because sometimes you can be proven wrong very quickly, so you have to make some preparations for the future.

What if something unexpected happens and we have to accept it...?

After pondering for a long time and making a decision, Yu Ding put the three-headed dragon away again and let out a long sigh: "It's time to undergo the tribulation..."

After enduring so much hardship, we've finally reached this point. Thinking about it now, I feel a mix of bittersweet emotions.

Becoming an immortal is actually a process of imbuing one's spirit body with the Book of Life and Death, even though Yu Ding felt that his life and death were no longer recorded in the Book of Life and Death.

Only after experiencing birth, aging, sickness, and death, and comprehending the true meaning of reincarnation, can one be qualified to transcend the cycle of birth and death...

As disciples of the Chan Sect protected by destiny, their success rate in transcending tribulations starts at 50%.

With his supernatural powers and the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique, the success rate is quite high when all his methods are combined.

As for the place to undergo tribulation, choosing Jade Void Palace is undoubtedly the best choice.

The only downside is that he has too many acquaintances. If someone sees him, this "Golden Immortal," undergoing the tribulation to become an immortal, he might die on the spot, or at least suffer social death.

Let's give it a makeover!

……

At the same time, in Heaven.

After the Heavenly Court gained a new mistress, the gods noticed that the Heavenly Emperor had suddenly become much more diligent.

But at the same time, he also became much more silent and dignified.

Dou Niu Palace is Yun Hua's residence and office in the heavens.

After finishing his official duties that day, Yunhua piled the books on his desk, leaned back in his chair, and stretched comfortably.

"My brother has become more diligent ever since my sister-in-law passed away..." Yunhua thought with satisfaction.

Her brother's diligence directly reduced the burden on her shoulders, allowing her to feel a long-lost sense of ease, both physically and mentally.

Over the years, her brother has been too lazy, while she has been single-handedly holding up the Heavenly Court, multitasking every day, with several clones handling official duties...

Too tired!

Fortunately, my elder brother is finally starting to resemble the Heavenly Emperor.

However, after suddenly having a lot of free time recently, she has felt a little uncomfortable, and life seems to have become a bit...empty.

For no apparent reason, a figure suddenly appeared in her mind, but it was extremely blurry and emitted a golden light.

At this thought, she suddenly became alert, drew her Wisdom Sword, and tried to cut down that figure, but for some reason, she couldn't cut it down this time.

Yunhua calculated with her fingers and frowned, saying, "Golden Boy..."

That was the golden boy who originally guarded her Dou Niu Palace. He had developed worldly desires, which was a crime against the heavenly rules, so she punished him and banished him to the mortal world.

Of course, the punishment didn't have to be so severe, but since she and her brother had just arrived in the Heavenly Court, they urgently needed to make an example of her to establish their authority and subdue the crowd, so the punishment was a little heavier.

"Your Highness, something has happened!"

At this moment, a heavenly general rushed in and said:
"There is a female demon causing havoc in the human world. She bewitches men, absorbs their life essence to cultivate, and has harmed many people."

The local people were suffering terribly, and the demoness's power and methods were considerable. The divine generals were still recovering from their injuries, and the other brothers... were no match for her.

"Where am I?" Yunhua opened her eyes.

"Southern Jambudvipa, Guan County!"

"Alright, I'll go and kill her!"

Yunhua got up and walked straight outside.
