Conferred God: Started from Swallowing the Heaven-Repairing Stone

Chapter 332 Yuan Hong Returns
Ao Bing's voice was full of temptation, as if it possessed an invisible power, madly stirring Yuan Hong's heart and tempting him to commit the cruel act of murdering his master.

"Yu Ding is my teacher, and he taught me the highest Jade Purity inheritance. How could I do such a beastly thing as killing my teacher?"

"Uncle Master, please do not speak of the matter of Master's murder again."

Yuan Hong said firmly, not knowing what he was thinking of. No matter what, he could not attack Yu Ding.

First of all, Yu Ding was the direct descendant of the saint and also his teacher. If he killed Yu Ding, not only would his reputation be ruined, but there would be no place for him in the whole world and he would be hunted down by the entire Chan sect.

Secondly, even if he wanted to kill Yu Ding, he was no match for Yu Ding. He was now a Golden Immortal, the fighting power of a Taiyi Golden Immortal, but Yu Ding was a Daluo Golden Immortal.

If he dared to murder him in front of Jade Ding Zhenren, he would die under Jade Ding's sword in a moment.

Of course, as Ao Bing said, it is difficult to kill Jade Ding Zhenren, but it is even more difficult to survive the killing.

There were indeed quite a few disciples of Jiejiao who were better than Jade Ding Zhenren. Yuan Hong was not even as good as Jade Ding Zhenren, let alone surviving the hands of these Jiejiao masters.

If nothing unexpected happens, he will be finished. When he was accepted as a disciple by Jade Ding Zhenren, his fate was already determined. He was destined to become Jade Ding Zhenren's scapegoat and have his true spirit listed on the list in his place.

Thinking of this, it is impossible to say that Yuan Hong has no hatred towards Yu Ding. But even if he hates him, his identity and status do not allow him to take revenge, and he can only obey Yu Ding's arrangements.

"If the teacher regards the disciple as his son, then the disciple will regard the teacher as his father. If the teacher regards the disciple as a dog or a horse, then the disciple will regard the teacher as a passerby. If the teacher regards the disciple as dirt, then the disciple will regard the teacher as an enemy."

"Master Yu Ding treated you as a scapegoat. How could he have any sense of master-disciple friendship in his heart?"

"He doesn't even consider you as his disciple, so why should you consider him as your master? Even if you have received his teachings, you should find a way to repay him."

"At worst, it's better to waste all my cultivation and start over than to be a scapegoat for others."

Ao Bing spoke of great principles at every turn. He believed that fairness should be the key to everything. If the master treated his disciples well, then the disciples would naturally give the same or even better return.

But if the master treats the disciple badly, the disciple can of course retaliate in the same or even double manner.

Jade Ding Zhenren treated Yuan Hong like this, so Yuan Hong really had no need to hold back. Not only him, but most of the third-generation disciples of the Chan Sect could turn against their master.

"Uncle Master, stop talking."

Yuan Hong raised his tone. He was afraid that if Ao Bing continued talking, he would really lose control of his heart.

"Oh, you think the Yuqing inheritance is supreme, and the Nine Revolutions Yuan Gong is a skill that directly points to the saints, which can make people achieve enlightenment through strength."

"So, after you received the teachings from Yu Ding, you were extremely grateful to him. Even if he asked you to be his scapegoat, you were willing to do it."

"But do you know that the Yuqing inheritance is indeed one of the highest inheritances, but the Nine Revolutions Yuan Gong is not as powerful as the legend says. It was created by the guardian of Xuanmen."

"In theory, this method can enable people to achieve enlightenment through strength, but in reality, it is impossible to achieve success with this method."

"It starts out easy and becomes difficult later. It can allow a person to become a Daluo Jinxian within a thousand years, but after that, no matter how amazing their talent is, it is impossible for them to take the next step and become a Quasi-Sage."

"That is to say, this Nine Revolutions Yuan Gong, which theoretically allows one to achieve enlightenment through force, can only allow one to cultivate to the level of Daluo Jinxian at best. It won't be stronger than that. The upper limit is there."

"There are countless Jade Purity inheritances, and there are many that are more sophisticated than the Nine Revolutions Yuan Gong. If Jade Ding Zhenren really regarded you as his successor, why would he pass on the Nine Revolutions Yuan Gong with an upper limit to you instead of the more profound Jade Purity inheritance?"

"Is it him who can't?"

"I don't think I need to explain the reason. With your intelligence, you can figure it out."

The more Yuan Hong stopped Ao Bing from speaking, the more excited he became. Everything else might be false, but the fact that there was something wrong with the Nine Revolutions Yuan Gong couldn't be more true.

If the Nine Transformations Yuan Gong is really so good, why don't the Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect practice it? And why don't they list it as a true teaching and only pass it on to true disciples, but instead give it to the Dharma Protectors to practice?
The fact that this technique is a technique prepared for Dharma protectors is enough to explain the whole thing. The Nine Revolutions Yuan Gong is not as powerful as rumored, and in the eyes of the Three Pure Ones it is not worthy of being mentioned.

"I was born in the countryside, and my talent is limited. It is a blessing that I can cultivate to become a Golden Immortal. I really don't dare to expect too much."

"I guess the teacher saw this and taught me the Nine Revolutions Yuan Gong, so that I wouldn't have to work hard my whole life and still not be able to reach the threshold of Daluo."

Yuan Hong was very ignorant of his own limitations. After listening to Ao Bing's introduction to the Nine Revolutions Yuan Gong, instead of getting angry, he was extremely moved.

He really felt that Jade Ding Zhenren taught him the Nine Revolutions Yuan Gong for his own good.

Yes, Yuan Hong didn't know his origins. He was born and raised in the mountains, so his knowledge was limited.

In his eyes, the Golden Immortal was already an unattainable figure. The skills taught to him by Jade Ding Zhenren could actually allow him to quickly become a Golden Immortal. How could such a good thing exist in the world?

It would have been fine if Yuan Hong didn’t know, but now that he knows, of course he is excited.

He is not a true disciple of a saint like Ao Bing, who is determined to achieve enlightenment. He has always felt that his talent is limited and he would be satisfied if he could become a Daluo Jinxian.

Therefore, after hearing that he would remain in the realm of Daluo Jinxian in the future after practicing the Nine Revolutions Yuan Gong, Yuan Hong was not pessimistic. Instead, he felt a sense of satisfaction that his wish had been fulfilled, and he really couldn't be sad.

"madness!"

"Your background is no worse than Yu Ding's, so why do you belittle yourself so much? You have the potential to become a Taoist in the future, but Yu Ding is teaching you the Nine Revolutions Yuan Gong. This is harming you, not making you successful."

"When the Nine Revolutions Yuan Gong was first created, it was prepared for those Xuanmen disciples whose talents were not as good as those of the best, but better than those of the worst."

"With their talents, it is difficult for them to achieve enlightenment. In this case, why not use up their future potential to allow their strength to advance by leaps and bounds in a short period of time, so as to maintain the Xuanmen Dao."

"That is why the Nine Revolutions Yuan Gong is called the Dao Guardian Method and was created by the Dharma Protector."

"If your talent is really poor, practicing this method may be a way out, but your talent is not bad. Practicing this method is equivalent to destroying your own future."

"Also, you should know that this method was originally prepared by Yu Ding for Yang Jian. Yang Jian is the nephew of the Jade Emperor. Even if he does not have the Nine Revolutions Yuan Gong, it will not be difficult for him to cultivate to become a Daluo Jinxian in the future."

"But after practicing the Nine Revolutions Yuan Gong, it's hard to say what the future holds. Jade Ding Zhenren knew this, but he still deliberately prepared to teach him the Nine Revolutions Yuan Gong. This shows how vicious his mind is."

Ao Bing was slightly stunned, and then guessed Yuan Hong's thoughts. Then, he directly told Yuan Hong that he had a very good talent, not inferior to Jade Ding Zhenren at all. The reason why Yuan Hong did not think that Jade Ding Zhenren was harming him by teaching him the Nine Revolutions Yuan Gong was simply because he thought that his talent was very poor. Relying on himself, there was no possibility of becoming a Daluo Jinxian in this life.

In this case, Ao Bing only needs to tell him the truth. His talent is no worse than Yu Ding's. Even without the Nine Revolutions Yuan Gong, he can still become a Daluo Jinxian on his own.

After knowing the truth, no matter how good Yuan Hong's attitude was, he would be full of resentment towards Jade Ding Zhenren in his heart.

To cut off a person's future is more painful than killing him, and is a true feud that will never end.

"Master, do you know my background?"

Yuan Hong didn't think there was anything wrong at first, but when he heard Ao Bing say that he had good talent, he immediately realized that something was wrong.

Could it be that he also has a powerful following?
If you think about it carefully, it is not impossible. After all, his innate magical powers are extraordinary and far beyond the reach of ordinary people. It is not unreasonable to say that he has an extraordinary origin.

But as we all know, the more extraordinary one's background is, the more noble one's birth is, the more luck one has. If he really had extraordinary background, how could he end up in such a miserable state?
With such extraordinary talents and supernatural powers, Yuan Hong did doubt his own origins, but his incredibly bad luck made him give up all the inappropriate thoughts.

For those who are favored by destiny, life will only be so unsatisfactory?

Therefore, although Yuan Hong was pleasantly surprised, he still had some doubts about Ao Bing's words. If his background was really not worse than Yu Ding's, then why did Yu Ding do so well while he did so poorly?

This doesn't make sense.

"The Jade Tripod was formed from the teeth of the great god Pangu, and you were formed from the blood of the Chaos Demon Ape."

“Although Chaos Demon Ape is not as good as Great God Pangu, no matter how inferior his blood is, it is not inferior to Great God Pangu’s teeth.”

"So, there is nothing wrong with saying that your talent is no worse than Jade Ding Zhenren. As for why you are so unlucky, it is naturally due to the influence of the Chaos Demon Ape."

"You have the Chaos Ape's evil nature hidden deep within you. As long as you don't get rid of it, you will be at risk of being replaced by the Chaos Ape."

"So, you were born to be suppressed by the heavens. No matter how talented you are, it is difficult for you to achieve anything. The great masters will not accept you as a disciple, and you will not be able to obtain any innate spiritual treasures."

Ao Bing revealed some explosive information that Yuan Hong could not get access to one by one. It is no exaggeration to say that Ao Bing's performance at this moment is more like Yuan Hong's teacher than Jade Ding Zhenren.

After all, what Ao Bing told Yuan Hong now should have been told to him by Jade Ding Zhenren. But Jade Ding Zhenren didn't, maybe he didn't know, or maybe he didn't want to say it.

But no matter what, this shows from the side that Jade Ding Zhenren is not sincere in accepting Yuan Hong as his disciple. At least, that's what Yuan Hong thinks. Otherwise, why didn't he tell me this news?
As for the fact that Jade Ding Zhenren didn't know, Yuan Hong thought it was impossible. As a disciple of the Saint, Jade Ding Zhenren's qualifications were far superior to Ao Bing's. It was unreasonable for him not to know the secret that Ao Bing knew.

It's impossible that Yuanshi Tianzun is not as good as Tongtian Jiaozhu, right?
"Uncle Master, please give me some advice. What should I do?"

This time, Yuan Hong did not refute, but knelt on the ground and bowed deeply to Ao Bing, trying to get his guidance.

He now understood clearly that Ao Bing was coming for him. All the excuses about coming for Meishan and to eliminate the trouble for Yang Jian were just excuses.

Ao Bing's real purpose probably has two aspects. One is to make him and Jade Ding Zhenren become enemies. The other is probably related to his background.

Yuan Hong is not stupid, on the contrary, he is very smart. It is impossible for a casual cultivator to become a local overlord without some brains, otherwise he would have been killed by someone long ago.

Therefore, through the constant dialogue with Ao Bing, he probably guessed Ao Bing's purpose. It was for this reason that he bowed to Ao Bing and asked for his guidance.

Since they came for him and talked to him so much, it was obviously to save him. Otherwise, if they came to kill him, they would just do it directly, why waste so much time and effort.

Since he came to save him, the rest of the things were simple. No matter what Ao Bing said, he would cooperate, and this way he would have a chance to survive.

"You are quite clever. I can indeed solve your hidden danger and help you completely refine the devil in your body. From now on, you will be free and no longer be oppressed by the Heavenly Dao."

"But why? Not only are we not related, we are even enemies. Why should I save you if there is no benefit?"

Ao Bing can indeed save Yuan Hong, but he has always only saved his own people and never saved his enemies. If Yuan Hong wants him to help, he has to show enough sincerity.

"Disciple is willing to follow Uncle Master's arrangements, and only hopes that Uncle Master can save disciple's life."

Yuan Hong bowed with all his heart. After hearing Ao Bing say that he might be replaced by the Chaos Ape at any time, he was completely panicked.

At the same time, in order to save his life, he didn't care about anything else. Even if Ao Bing asked him to attack Jade Ding Zhenren, he would be willing to do so.

It's not that Yuan Hong is cruel and ruthless, but Yu Ding is really not a good son. This is not accepting him as a disciple, this is clearly using him as a tool to die in the place of death, or the kind that will be thrown away after use.

If Yu Ding had any affection for him as a master and a disciple, he would not have done this. But after listening to Ao Bing's analysis, Yuan Hong completely gave up.

Yu Ding didn't just treat him as a disciple, he simply didn't treat him as a human being. It was not enough to treat him as a scapegoat, he also wanted to squeeze out his potential.

In this way, even if he was lucky enough not to die and successfully lived to the end of the catastrophe and his physical body became a god, there would be no room for improvement and it would be difficult for him to make any progress in strength.

In other words, there is no longer any threat to Jade Ding Zhenren.

As expected of the Golden Immortal of the Chan Sect, he plans ten steps ahead and even considers the future.

After his potential was exhausted, even if Yuan Hong knew the truth, he did not dare to turn against Yu Ding. On the contrary, he had to suppress his resentment and continue to flatter Yu Ding and obey his orders.

This was because, with no room for advancement, if he wanted to avoid being bullied, he could only rely on Jade Ding Zhenren, who had a saintly background, and obey his orders.

After understanding all this, how could Yuan Hong not hate him? From the beginning, there was no emotion in the master-disciple relationship between him and Yu Ding. It was all cold calculation.

Jade Ding Zhenren had planned to have him killed from the beginning to the end. Even if he was included in the List of Gods, he would not be able to be free. He would always be enslaved by him and would not be given the slightest chance to resist.

This person's viciousness was the only one Yuan Hong had ever seen. This method of playing tricks on people did not seem like a disciple of a saint at all, but more like an old demon.

As for whether what Ao Bing said was false? Yuan Hong had no doubt about this, because the moment Ao Bing revealed his background, the fog that had been covering his heart completely dissipated, allowing him to see through his background.
