Primordial Era: Jade Cauldron Immortal only desires a steady path to enlightenment!

Chapter 40 Ao Bing's bad luck? Not at all! It's all for getting ashore! For surviving!

"Only in this way can Bing'er be kept away from strife."

"May he live out the rest of his life in peace..."

Becoming a guardian of the dragon race may bring unpredictable threats.

But this is the best place he can think of right now.

If they were allowed to remain in the dragon race...

Even without external threats, the backlash from the dragon clan's fortune alone would be enough to destroy Ao Bing's naturally pure physique.

At that time, the backlash from the accumulated fortune will instantly crush Ao Bing's state of mind.

Regardless of their past personality.

They can all transform into a tyrannical and bloodthirsty temperament in an instant.

And this transformation is an irreversible process.

Once you start, it's like going mad.

The only path to follow is death and the annihilation of one's spiritual essence.

"No wonder Ao Bing, who doesn't belong to the three religions, inexplicably made it onto the Investiture of the Gods list."

"I originally thought that it was Nezha who killed him, which gave him the opportunity to be deified."

"Now it seems that a large part of it was Ao Guang's scheme."

"They wanted to use Nezha's disturbance of the sea to find a way for Ao Bing to survive."

After all, what if Ao Bing were to die from the backlash of his luck?

Then there would truly be no chance of turning things around.

However, if one were to be listed on the Investiture of the Gods.

Although they entrusted their lives to Haotian.

However, it is infinitely better than dying and losing one's soul, with no possibility of reincarnation.

Moreover, Ao Bing was conferred the divine title of Huagai Xingjun.

This is no ordinary, leisurely clerical post.

The Huagai Star is one of the 365 righteous gods, belonging to the Ziwei Enclosure. It consists of 16 stars and is shaped like an umbrella. Ancient astrologers considered the lower part of the trine to the Huagai Star.

The canopy, in relation to the mortal world, refers to the parasol on the carriage of emperors or noble officials, as well as the halo on the clouds that is close to the edge of the sun and moon, with an irregular outline, a light blue interior and a light brown exterior.

Both the object corresponding to Huagai and the meaning symbolized by Huagai Star fully explain why Ao Bing was deified as Huagai Star Lord after his death.

It is the emperor's canopy, or the emperor's carriage, which is a real dragon coiled on the canopy!

And the imperial carriage that Ao Bing was qualified to ride in.

Naturally, only the Jade Emperor, the ruler of Heaven, rides in a dragon carriage!

In Journey to the West, the white dragon horse Ao Lie, after being conferred the title of Guangli Bodhisattva of the Eight Heavenly Dragons, actually had the same job as Ao Bingqian.

However, one of them is coiled on top of the umbrella canopy.

One is the ornamental column surrounding Mount Ling in the Western Paradise.

If we put the White Dragon Horse Ao Lie into the world of Investiture of the Gods...

Then he would be equivalent to being appointed as the Huabiao Star Lord!

Of course, in terms of their status, Ao Bing was posthumously honored as the Huagai Star Lord, which is much higher than Ao Lie's!

After all, the position of Huagai Xingjun seems to be an insignificant official post.

But in reality, he was a close advisor who could always be by Haotian's side!

Since they can often accompany Haotian, they can naturally talk to Haotian.

This shows how brilliantly Ao Guang played his hand.

Not only did it break Ao Bing's deadly predicament.

They even submitted a pledge of allegiance to Haotian, demonstrating the attitude of the Dragon Clan!

"No wonder the dragon race's living environment will be much better in the future than it is now."

"It seems a large part of the reason is that Ao Bing spoke well of Haotian..."

As he secretly pondered everything about Ao Bing's future.

Yu Ding remained outwardly calm and questioned Ao Guang.

"Fellow Daoist, this matter is of utmost importance."

"Are you really sure about this?"

"Perhaps we don't need to be so pessimistic. Things will work themselves out, who knows?"

It wasn't that Yu Ding didn't want to take Ao Bing as his disciple.

The main reason was that he didn't believe Ao Guang had any hidden schemes.

If he is all alone, no matter what the other party does, he can always find a way to extricate himself.

But he now represents the Chan Sect.

If you accidentally fall victim to it.

It doesn't matter if he loses face; at worst, he can just kill Ao Guang.

But if it causes Master to lose face, then that would be a much bigger problem!

"I've made up my mind."

"As long as the real person can accept Ao Bing as a disciple."

"Rescue him from the deadly quagmire of the dragon race."

"I'm willing to pay any price!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Ding looked at Ao Guang's seemingly genuine gaze, his eyes flashing with thought for a moment, but he couldn't discern any flaws.

So he decided to retreat in order to see what the other party really wanted to do.

"Since you are so earnest in your request, fellow Daoist..."

"I felt too embarrassed to keep making excuses."

"However, there's no rush."

"Now that Ao Bing has just been born, he is not yet able to withstand the backlash of severing cause and effect."

"I will leave behind a clone puppet to teach Ao Bing the principles of cultivation and the way of being a person."

"After it is able to withstand the karmic backlash."

The latest novel is first published here!

"What do you think about taking him as a disciple again to sever all karmic ties?"

"I will follow the arrangements of the real person."

Ao Guang nodded in response with a sigh of relief.

He took a jade pendant from his waist and handed it to the jade cauldron.

"Real person, this is my identity jade pendant."

"Once you reveal this item, all the dragons in the world will provide you with some assistance."

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Ao Guang."

These benefits are too good to pass up.

It just so happens that he will need the help of the dragons for some of his later plans.

This really came to us without any effort at all.

Of course, all of this is based on the premise that...

This jade pendant was not tampered with.

If Ao Guang really has some ulterior motive.

There must be some clues on this jade pendant!

With the matter of accepting apprentices settled, there were no other important matters that needed further discussion.

After chatting with Ao Guang for a while.

Yu Ding then left behind a clone puppet and had it delivered to Ao Bing's side.

He then invited Huanglong to visit Fangzhang Immortal Island.

Ao Guang did not try to persuade him to stay.

He merely led a group of shrimp soldiers, crab generals, and sea patrol yakshas.

He personally escorted them to the surface of the sea, watched them transform into rainbows and depart, and then returned to the Dragon Palace of the East Sea.

After Yu Ding left the Dragon Palace of the East Sea.

He didn't say another word, urging Di Yang to keep his head down and continue on his way, ignoring Huang Long's doubts and inquiries.

Until they returned to Fangzhang Immortal Island.

The island-protecting formation was activated, completely isolating the immortal island from the outside world.

Yu Ding then sealed the jade pendant in a separate space-time.

"Senior brother, what happened to you on the way here?"

"Not only did he behave strangely, but he also refused to answer any questions."

"Now it's like we're guarding against thieves."

"What exactly is going on?"

Seeing that the jade cauldron had finally stopped moving.

Huang Long immediately inquired about the unusual phenomena that had occurred during this period.

"Now I'll ask you questions, and you'll answer them."

"No matter what the problem is, you must think it through completely and tell me everything in detail, understand?"

Although Huanglong was confused by Yu Ding's deep, low shout, he trusted him.

He nodded obediently, indicating that he would cooperate fully.

"You were the one who first brought up the matter of taking on apprentices."

"Will it be Ao Guang, or Zu Long, who will be the first to bring it up?"

"During this time, everything you did was voluntary."

"Or did one of them use their voice to guide you, making you remember and ask me to come and help?"
