A cat that lingers beside a saint

Chapter 138 The old situation is not yet over

Yu Ding's words made Yang Jian's eyes widen in surprise.

Normally, a disciple would never speak ill of their teacher under any circumstances.

Not to mention that a sage could easily know everything that happened here, Yu Ding's words alone had already put him in an extremely awkward situation.

Yang Jian stared at the jade cauldron for a while, and seeing that he was about to say something, he whispered a reminder: "Master, this place is Kunlun Mountain."

Yu Ding rolled his eyes at him and said, "When I became an apprentice here, how could I not know? Did I need you to remind me?"

"No, this is Jade Void Palace, the sacred site of a sage."

Yu Ding certainly understood what Yang Jian meant.

Although some of his words were inappropriate, everything he said was true. Even if a sage were here, he would not have uttered a single falsehood.

The Jade Palace on Kunlun Mountain today is indeed different from what it used to be.

The Jade Void Palace was indeed a sacred place and a celestial abode back then, but now, this place is indeed fraught with great risks.

And what he said was not just empty talk.

Either the Primordial Celestial Venerable has not paid attention to this place for a long time and is completely unaware of the risks that exist here.

Either he deliberately brought Su Bai here so that he could use the dangers here to eliminate Su Bai.

However, judging from the aura emanating from this cat, the Celestial Venerable probably didn't send it here to die.

unless----

Yu Ding frowned as he looked at the lush green Kunlun Mountains, and a guess began to form in his mind.

The Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect.

Among these disciples, Jade Cauldron Immortal was the most favored by the Heavenly Venerable. This was not only because of his high level of comprehension, but also because his intelligence and resourcefulness were renowned throughout the Three Realms.

If it were anyone else, even if the Celestial Venerable were in the void, they would still have been slapped if they had said those words.

However, Yu Ding was not punished in any way, which is enough to show that the Heavenly Venerable's affection for him was no less than that for Su Bai in the old Taoist's heart.

Yu Ding took a small step forward. Now that his cultivation had recovered, exploring Kunlun Mountain with his primordial spirit was not too difficult.

Difficult things.

But when he probed it with his divine sense, he was immediately horrified.

The moment he probed with his divine sense, it vanished completely, just like a clay ox disappearing into the sea without a trace.

Yu Ding grabbed Yang Jian's arm and, without saying a word, dragged him away.

Yang Jian was clearly not expected that Yu Ding would suddenly pull him away. He was about to say something when he found that he could no longer move.

Su Bai remained clinging to Yang Jian and was also carried away from the place.

"Master, what are you doing?"

Yu Ding ignored him, waved his hand at him, and Yang Jian's body flew backward instantly, while Su Bai was caught in Yu Ding's hand and then flew towards his Jade Spring Mountain.

"Your martial uncle and I have something to discuss. Don't follow us!"

The jade cauldron wasn't very strong, and Su Bai didn't resist at all, since he hadn't sensed any malice from it.

A land of nothingness.

Yuan Shi frowned deeply.

The sudden arrival of the jade cauldron truly surprised him.

Clearly, his disciple must have discovered something, otherwise he wouldn't have led them away from Kunlun Mountain.

But if that cat doesn't enter Kunlun Mountain, wouldn't his subsequent plans be ruined?

Everyone says he's good at scheming, but scheming is just a minor trick.

Only through strategic planning can the three realms achieve greater stability.

The grand scheme of things, seemingly a struggle between sages, has been seen through by Yuanshi over the years.

The so-called grand trend is nothing more than the arrangement of the Way of Heaven, and the Way of Heaven has only just begun.

This beginning naturally refers to the emergence of the Investiture of the Gods.

The way of Heaven is so precise that it requires very little thought; with a single move, the final outcome of the game is already known.

Those who push this move in the direction desired by Heaven are naturally the sages, or rather, everyone is a pawn and everyone is a player.

The Way of Heaven is formless, yet it also has form.

The way of Heaven lies in the hearts of the people.

Yuanshi bowed his head in deep thought.

For so many years, he has been pondering the true intentions of the Way of Heaven.

But now that I think about it, even though he was a saint, he still couldn't fathom the thoughts of Heaven.

Because the Way of Heaven is formless.

In those Kunlun Mountains, he had indeed laid a contingency plan, which was also the beginning of a new chapter.

But he never expected that this game would be ruined by his own disciple before it even started.

Yuanshi remained expressionless and slowly closed his eyes.

This matter should not be rushed; we should wait patiently.

As a saint, he has plenty of time.

Above to the south, the Supreme Being had already retrieved the Xuanhuang Pagoda from his hands.

-

Before him, the Tai Chi symbol was in motion.

His eyes were fixed on the ever-changing yin-yang diagram, which spun faster and faster, transforming from yin and yang into the four symbols, and then from the four symbols into the eight trigrams.

But as the speed increased, it eventually returned to the shape of the yin-yang diagram.

"All things go through cycles of rebirth, and life continues endlessly."

The Supreme Being's voice was very soft, yet no one except the Primordial Beginning could hear it.

Yuanshi's eyelids twitched slightly, and his mouth opened as if he wanted to say something, but after a moment, he closed it tightly again.

In Jinxia Cave, Su Bai lay on the table, looking at the teacup in front of him, but had no intention of drinking it.

Yu Ding slowly rose and bowed slightly to Su Bai, saying, "At this moment, there are only the two of us in this cave. If you have anything to say or any questions, Junior Brother, I will answer them all."

Looking at the person in front of him, Su Bai felt a rare sense of calm in his heart. Of course, it wasn't the kind of peace or tranquility, but simply a sense of calm and composure.

"Why did you stop me, senior brother?"

"Could it be that you're worried I'll destroy the Jade Void Palace, or that I'll find some valuable treasure there?"

Yu Ding gently shook his head and said, "Junior brother, you're overthinking it. I had no such intention."

"After the War of the Investiture of the Gods, the Sage went to the Outer Heaven and never participated in any affairs of the Three Realms again. Since then, Mount Kunlun has been completely closed off."

"As I said before, since then, many people still want to go to Yuxu Palace to become disciples and learn skills, while others want to take advantage of the sage's absence from the mountains to obtain some treasures."

"Of course, there were also some disobedient disciples of the Chan Sect who wanted to learn some cultivation methods from it, but after they entered, they never came back."

"Over the years, there are still quite a few people heading to Kunlun Mountain, whether they are mortals or cultivators, but in the end, they all have the same fate."

"die!"
