Chapter 334 Yu Ding's Determination
Becoming a saint? Yang Jian silently set such a grand goal in his heart. At this time, he did not know that the number of sainthoods was limited, and that effort alone would not guarantee results.
"Erlang, let me be frank with you. If you really want to save Mother, it's not right to just barge into Lishan, rescue Yaoji, and run away. You have to consider the consequences."
Yu Ding finally understood why his master couldn't give his disciples a kind look.
"What good would it do to save you and your mother? Would it mean you'd have to hide everywhere, never seeing the light of day? And how would you resist the heavenly soldiers and generals who would come to hunt you down?"
The Queen Mother of the West had feelings for Yao Ji, which is why she spared Yao Ji's life. If it were the Heavenly Emperor, the punishment might be much harsher. This matter must be carefully considered.
Yu Ding now wished he could split open Yang Jian's head and stuff all his thoughts into it, lest Yang Jian, in a moment of despair, violate the heavenly rules again, and then Yu Ding would truly be unable to hide Yang Jian.
Yang Jian listened intently to Yu Ding's words, slowly analyzing the information he himself hadn't even noticed in Yu Ding's words. He understood the implications even though Yu Ding didn't say it.
Seeing Yang Jian listening attentively with a 'well-behaved' expression, Yu Ding was filled with satisfaction. This was the right way. Once he started talking, Yu Ding became even more enthusiastic.
"Erlang, you don't know this. Although there are six sages in the world, Kunlun has three of them. It is unique in the world. Nowhere else can compare to Kunlun's purity and nobility. However, Kunlun still has to give the Heavenly Court some face. You can tell that the Heavenly Court is very deep."
"There are countless quasi-saints under the Heavenly Emperor. A hundred years ago, the Goddess Nuwa and the Heavenly Emperor fought fiercely in the Heavenly Court for some unknown reason. Even the Holy Mother Nuwa could not get the better of the Heavenly Emperor. Just think, if you were to go against the Heavenly Court, the Heavenly Emperor would be furious. Even if I knelt until my legs broke, I still couldn't save you, Erlang."
Yu Ding was dedicated to dissuading Yang Jian from his suicidal behavior, constantly exaggerating the majesty and power of the Heavenly Court. He had raised Yang Jian with great care and painstaking effort, not intending to send him to his death.
"Godfather, I understand, and I will not act impulsively." Yang Jian was unaware of the gravity of the situation before. The arrogant demeanor of the great sect disciple Yu Ding displayed gave Yang Jian the illusion that he was qualified to challenge the Heavenly Court. Now, he is simply continuing to lie low.
“That’s right. The Heavenly Emperor is Yao Ji’s senior brother, and the Queen Mother is Yao Ji’s elder sister. They are family. Their anger will eventually subside. Erlang, you must maintain this momentum and not slacken. Your godfather will find a way to help you.”
Yu Ding had already decided to take a position in the Heavenly Court for Yang Jian's sake.
As far as he knew, his third uncle's personal disciple, Jin Ling, had been recommended by his senior brother, Duo Bao, and was already a shoo-in for a divine position in the Heavenly Court.
If he were to seek help from Senior Brother Duobao, he should be able to get an introduction.
"How does Godfather plan to help his son?" Yang Jian knew Yu Ding very well and was afraid that Yu Ding might suddenly come up with a plan, and then he would have to save another person.
"Don't worry about this." How could Yu Ding let Yang Jian know? His so-called solution was to ask his senior brother for help so that he could meet the Heavenly Emperor in the future and beg the Heavenly Emperor to show leniency to Yang Jian.
We've lost all face and dignity. If Master finds out, he'll be furious.
Yang Jian swallowed the words he intended to use to delve deeper, silently comforting himself that his adoptive father was a second-generation disciple of the Chan Sect, a direct disciple of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, and one of the Twelve Golden Immortals. In the world, no one would dare to harm his adoptive father.
"Godfather, the reason I called you back to Yuquan Mountain this time is because I secretly went back to my old home and retrieved the old things left by my mother. I unexpectedly obtained this scroll of divine jade slip. Godfather, you are very knowledgeable. Please help me break the seal."
Yang Jian took out an ancient jade slip, sealed with a golden Daoist seal written by a powerful being.
Yang Jian knew that the book was extraordinary and could only be hidden by his mother. He dared not break the seal for fear of damaging the precious book, and even hoped that it contained the cultivation technique he desperately needed.
Although there are many books on Jade Spring Mountain, most of them are theoretical, and the cultivation manuals that Yang Jian urgently needs are not available.
Yu Ding dared not teach Yang Jian the Jade Purity Heart Method without permission. What Yang Jian practiced was a modified version of the technique that Yu Ding had inherited from his memories.
Yu Ding's expression changed drastically, and he suddenly grabbed Yang Jian's wrist, "Where did you get this jade slip?"
"It's an old personal item of my mother's." Yang Jian noticed that Yu Ding's expression was off and dared not hide it.
"Impossible. It is clearly a top-secret cultivation manual from the Kunlun Mountain Scripture Pavilion. How could it have ended up in Yao Ji's hands?"
Yu Ding would not mistake the golden Daoist seal at the closure. The handwriting was clearly the work of his master, Yuanshi Tianzun. The Sutra Repository was full of scriptures sealed in this manner.
Actually, it was Chang Hao's doing. However, Yu Ding didn't recognize him, while Ru Duobao, who did, kept his mouth shut.
“That’s not right either, you can’t touch the Sutra Repository either,” Yu Ding paced back and forth.
"Listen, Erlang, I will go back to the Scripture Pavilion. If this scroll of cultivation technique is still there, then it is a blessing from Heaven, and I will find a way to unseal it for you. If the Scripture Pavilion has lost this scroll of cultivation technique, then I can only hand it over to the authorities and find out the truth."
Yang Jian nodded solemnly, "I understand."
Yu Ding was filled with worry. After returning to Yuxu Palace to pay respects to his master, he dared not mention entering the Scripture Pavilion. Without even touching the ground, he went to Duobao and asked Duobao if he could enter the Scripture Pavilion to read the classics.
"Junior brother, I was just about to find a suitable cultivation technique for Huo Ling. Shall we go together?" Duo Bao was overjoyed to have gained such a wonderful disciple, and he didn't notice the unnaturalness on Yu Ding's face.
"Let's go together, please, Senior Brother." Yu Ding was preoccupied.
"The Eight-Nine Arcane Arts... The Eight-Nine Arcane Arts..." Yu Ding was overjoyed to find it. He quickly took down the manual and examined it closely. It was exactly the same. The Eight-Nine Arcane Arts in his sleeve was not from Kunlun Mountain. That was great.
"Junior brother..."
The jade tripod trembled, and the jade in his hand almost fell to the ground.
Duobao frowned. "Junior brother, why are you so restless?" In this state, Duobao couldn't lie to himself if Yu Ding had nothing to hide.
"Senior brother," Yu Ding picked up the jade slip from the ground and said as he rolled it up, "I have a question that I would like to ask you to answer."
"What is it? Senior brother, you will surely tell me everything without reservation." Duobao found a seat on the spot, intending to listen to Yuding's puzzled matter.
"Why did you send Junior Sister Jinling to the Heavenly Court to take up a divine position, Senior Brother?" Yu Ding couldn't ask about the jade slip directly, so he could only bring up Jinling's matter first.
"So, junior brother is also considering joining the company," a smile flashed in Duobao's eyes. Just for this? They're fellow disciples, what's there to be shy about?
It must be said that Yu Ding's foolish behavior was the fundamental reason why Duo Bao dispelled his doubts.
“My junior brothers and sisters are all grown up. They can’t just stay in Kunlun Mountain doing nothing and eat and drink at the master’s expense. The Heavenly Court governs the Three Realms and the Ten Directions. Now, the mountain gods have been basically sealed off in all the mountains of the prehistoric world. Even if they want to claim land and be independent in the prehistoric world, they still need to go through the proper channels.”
"Senior Brother, could you help your junior brother get a chance too?" Yu Ding asked, his face contorted with sarcasm.
