Chapter 30 Jade Cauldron: I still have one closed-door disciple position left under my tutelage.
In mid-air, the Jade Purity Immortal Light flowed slowly as if it were a tangible substance.
Deep within the light, a figure in a moon-white Taoist robe gradually solidified.
Master Yu Ding held a whisk in his hand, his eyebrows slightly lowered, exuding an imposing and dignified aura.
A wisp of thought manifested itself, silently hovering before the two armies.
In an instant, the gale subsided, and the yellow sand settled on the ground.
The rapid breathing of hundreds of thousands of soldiers seemed to be suppressed by an invisible force the moment this figure appeared, and they all fell silent.
at the same time.
Deep within the Shang army camp, four powerful Xuanxian auras suddenly surged into the sky!
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Four streaks of light tore through the void and crashed straight down in front of Gu Xuan at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye.
The four Mo brothers stood side by side with their backs to Gu Xuan.
None of the four uttered a word.
However, the four tangible pressures of the Xuanxian were connected as one.
Its intent spread unabashedly towards the jade cauldron in mid-air, subtly forming a barrier.
……
In mid-air.
Master Yu Ding's gaze swept indifferently over the four demon generals without lingering.
Instead, it slowly descended towards Yang Jian, who was enveloped in celestial light.
Yang Jian lowered his head.
The crimson and madness that had been almost out of control in his eyes had now receded like the tide, leaving only an indescribable stillness.
He stood there motionless, like a clay or wooden sculpture that had lost its soul.
"Foolish child."
The voice of the jade tripod was ancient and ethereal.
He carried a hint of heartache that even he himself was unaware of.
"Are you sure it's him?"
Yang Jian did not answer.
He just lowered his head even further.
Yu Ding gazed at this disciple he was most proud of, remained silent for a moment, and then sighed deeply.
Then he turned his head.
His profound gaze pierced through the blockade of the four demon generals.
It landed directly on the young man wearing tattered black armor.
"you......"
"It's Gu Xuan?"
Gu Xuan straightened his back and met the gaze with a calm expression.
"Yes."
Yu Ding stared at him intently for a moment.
A cultivation level at the mid-stage of the Celestial Immortal realm...
An overwhelming and unparalleled spear intent...
And a terrifying flesh body covered with crimson gold patterns.
What surprised Yu Ding even more was that within Gu Xuan's body, there was a faint, yet present, Daoist aura of Shangqing.
"The Jade Morning Chapter of the Shangqing Cave Mystery..."
Yu Ding murmured softly.
But next second.
He looked at Gu Xuan and calmly made a promise that shook the entire primordial world.
"I still have one spot left as my last disciple."
"If you were to become my disciple..."
"I, this humble Taoist, may impart to you the method of expounding the teachings and protecting the Tao—the Eight-Nine Mysterious Techniques."
"I grant you the path to becoming a Golden Immortal."
As he spoke, Yu Ding paused, his gaze becoming more meaningful.
"Moreover, with the great calamity about to begin, the Jie Sect's act of defying the heavens this time will likely not end well."
"If you join my Jade Void Sect, I can protect you from this great calamity."
The words fell.
Hundreds of thousands of soldiers on both sides gasped and held their breath.
The Twelve Golden Immortals of Jade Void Palace personally offered to accept him as a disciple, a closed-door disciple, and even promised to teach him the "Eight-Nine Arcane Arts"?!
This was an opportunity that Jiang Ziya had sought for half his life but could not attain, yet now it had fallen so easily into the hands of a deputy general of the Shang Dynasty.
In an instant, hundreds of thousands of eyes turned to Gu Xuan behind the four generals of the Demon Clan.
Waiting for Gu Xuan's reply.
however--
Gu Xuan remained silent for a moment.
He slowly raised his head, his gaze remaining calm.
"Gu has already accepted the karmic consequences of the Jie Sect."
Instead of anger, Yu Ding smiled, a hint of appreciation flashing in his eyes.
However, his tone carried a faint air of authority as he said indifferently, "Your name is not yet on the list of names of the Jie Sect."
"If you wish, this humble monk can certainly do it—"
"Buzz—!"
Before he could finish speaking...
A concentrated azure-gold spear intent suddenly shot into the sky from Gu Xuan's body!
Domineering and resolute, with an unyielding spirit that would rather break than bend, it abruptly severed the second half of Yu Ding's sentence.
"not good!"
Mo Liqing's expression changed drastically.
Almost simultaneously, the four members of the Demon Clan roared in unison.
The Azure Cloud Sword swept across the sky, the Primordial Chaos Umbrella opened, and the Jade Pipa and the Purple Sable hovered in the air. The four spiritual treasures fiercely protected Gu Xuan, as if facing a formidable enemy.
However......
Gu Xuan slowly raised his hand.
With utmost calmness, he pushed aside Mo Liqing and Mo Lishou, who were blocking his way, and took a step forward.
"A real person."
Gu Xuan's voice was not loud, but it carried a sharp edge.
"My Dao, Gu Xuan's Dao..."
"It is neither in the Chan School nor in the Jie School!"
"If the Master insists on accepting me as his disciple..."
Gu Xuan suddenly raised his head and looked directly at Jade Cauldron Immortal.
The intent of the spear soared to its peak, breaking through the heavens and tearing apart layers of clouds.
"That is—"
"Sever my path!"
The four words fell silent.
In mid-air, the Jade Cauldron's spiritual manifestation stared steadily at Gu Xuan.
Looking at the surging azure-gold spear intent around him, and the pure, resolute determination in his eyes.
Suddenly, silence fell.
After a long, long time, Yu Ding slowly nodded.
"I'll cut off your path..."
He repeated those four words in a low voice, his eyes filled with complex and unreadable emotions.
Then, he suddenly chuckled, his tone revealing undisguised admiration.
"good!"
"What a brilliant plan to thwart the heavens!"
"Your path..."
"This humble Taoist priest truly cannot sever ties."
The words fell.
Yu Ding glanced at Yang Jian below out of the corner of his eye.
Enveloped in the celestial light of Jade Purity, Yang Jian suddenly raised his head.
He stared intently at Gu Xuan's back, his eyes flashing with intense silver light beneath the suppressed crimson, as if he had a thousand words to say, yet they were stuck in his throat.
He stared intently at Gu Xuan's back, his eyes flashing with intense silver light beneath the suppressed crimson, as if he had a thousand words to say, yet they were stuck in his throat.
Seeing this, Gu Xuan glanced at the jade cauldron and said calmly, "Since the True Immortal has nothing else to say..."
"I'll take my leave!"
After saying that, he looked down at the Heaven-Shaking Spear embedded in Yang Jian's right shoulder wound.
He then decisively turned around and walked towards the East Sea Dragon Horse.
"etc."
At that moment, Yang Jian's hoarse and dry voice came from behind.
Gu Xuan stopped walking, but did not turn around.
"laugh--"
A sound of flesh being torn apart rang out.
Despite the excruciating pain, Yang Jian expressionlessly pulled the Heaven-Shaking Spear inch by inch from his right shoulder.
Blood gushed from the wound, but he seemed oblivious.
After a moment of silence, he took out two broken pieces of the dragon spear from his sleeve.
"Bang."
He threw out three long spears.
Silently embedded in the yellow earth at Gu Xuan's feet, the spear shaft trembled slightly in the wind.
"Your spoils."
Yang Jian's voice was as calm as a stagnant pool.
Gu Xuan looked down.
Then, he raised his hand and beckoned to the three spears at his feet.
The Heaven-Shaking Spear and the two broken spears landed steadily in his hands.
Although the gun was mottled and broken, it faintly carried a sense of atmosphere that he was extremely familiar with.
Gu Xuan's eyes flickered slightly as he put away the three guns.
Without looking back, he mounted his horse, flicked the reins, and galloped towards the Shang army camp.
……
midair.
The Jade Cauldron's avatar watched the black-armored figure gradually disappear into the distance.
then......
He slowly withdrew his gaze.
His gaze fell on Yang Jian, who stood below with his head bowed.
"Let's go."
Yu Ding said softly, "Let's go into the city to heal our wounds."
Yang Jian remained silent.
He simply dragged his heavily injured body and silently lifted his foot.
Step by step, he followed behind the incarnation of the jade cauldron with heavy steps.
In front of the city gate of Xiqi.
As Yu Ding, a senior brother, and Yang Jian, covered in blood, walked in one after the other.
Jiang Ziya's expression was rather unpleasant.
The hand holding the God-Slaying Whip trembled slightly within the wide sleeves of his robe.
"Senior brother, I didn't know I was using flying talismans a while ago—"
Yu Ding glanced at him indifferently and uttered only two words.
"Enter the city."
