Journey to the West: From the Primordial Era

"Satoru?"

Yuan Hong was stunned.

"Yes, it's fine for the master to preach to you, but is the truth that the master preaches to you your own? No, it's the master's."

Yu Ding said seriously: "Do you think it's a problem for me, a master, to teach you how to achieve immortality and cultivate an immortal fruit? There is absolutely no problem, right?"

Yuan Hong nodded in a daze.

"Have you ever climbed a mountain?" Yu Ding asked.

Yuan Hong nodded in a daze.

"That's good. This path of cultivation is like climbing a mountain, and becoming an immortal is only the beginning of the path. Your master has taught you the secrets of the method, which is equivalent to leading you to the foot of the mountain and giving you the tools to climb the mountain. As for how to climb the mountain and which road to take, it's all up to you to decide."

Yu Ding pretended to be cool in his heart, but said with a serious face: "If the master told you, it would be like leading you to choose the path that the master took, and then you would not be able to walk your own path.

Do you know what will happen if you can't get out of your own way? "

Yuan Hong was stunned: "I don't know, please tell me, Master."

Yu Ding sighed and said, "Then your future height can only reach the level of your master, and you will never be able to surpass me. Do you understand now?"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Hong nodded thoughtfully.

understood?

Once you understand, figure it out on your own!

Yu Ding murmured in his heart, you know, he himself didn't even understand it, so how could he be a master and give lectures?

To put it bluntly, when he relies on apprentices, he has to learn on his own.

After thinking for a while, Yuan Hong shook his head and said, "Not to mention that I can only reach the level of Master, even if I can reach one-third of Master's level, I will be satisfied."

At the end of his speech, a look of longing appeared on his face.

This is what he thinks.

The Twelve Golden Immortals of Yuxu Palace have extremely high seniority in the Three Realms. All of them have great magical powers and extraordinary abilities. The lowest realm is the early stage of Daluo Golden Immortal, while the highest is a half-step Quasi-Sage.

In his mind, the Jade Ding Zhenren in front of him was a majestic sacred mountain, radiating light and unattainable.

You can only view it from a distance, not up close.

As you get closer, you will increasingly feel the height and sacredness of the mountain, and your own insignificance and humility, which is really a huge blow to one's self-confidence.

Now he has the honor to worship Jade Ding Zhenren as his teacher. This is the blessing that Yuan Hong has cultivated for several lifetimes with his sincerity and dedication.

Reach the height of Yuding?

What a joke! Isn't this like telling an ant that it wants to grow up and become a dragon? Is that possible?

He dared not even think about such a thought.

Let's take a step back and say, what is the level of Jade Ding Zhenren? What is his level of 20% or 30%? At the very least, he has reached the realm of immortals.

You said that he has become an immortal, so what else could he be dissatisfied with?

Yu Ding: “…”

So, his half-day of deception was actually a waste of energy to persuade his apprentice to learn self-study?

Is this Yuan Hong even worse than Erlang?

Yuan Hong smiled and handed over the heavenly book, saying, "So, please, Master, explain it to me!"

"Yuan Hong, you disappoint me so much."

Yu Ding suddenly looked disappointed and said, "If that's the case, then why are you still here to cultivate immortality and seek the way? Go back home and be your demon as soon as possible."

After saying that, he got off the cloud bed, grabbed the heavenly book, glanced at Yuan Hong with disappointment, and left.

Just a look of disappointment in Yuan Hong's eyes was like a thunderbolt exploding in his head. His face turned pale instantly and he froze in place in a daze.

He was very confused and puzzled!

Why did the master, who was so friendly just before, suddenly become disappointed in him?

Is it because you don’t want to surpass him?

But with the master's unfathomable height and realm, how could a little demon like him dream of surpassing him?

Is it wrong to be self-aware?

Beside him, looking at Yuan Hong's distraught look, Qingyun shook his head and sighed and walked away.

Time passed little by little, and soon a day had passed.

At dusk, Qingyun came to Yuding under the Lingtao tree and whispered, "Master, why are you angry?"

Yu Ding said: "I'm not angry, I'm disappointed."

Qingyun glanced at the cave and said, "What about Senior Brother Yuan Hong?"

Yuan Hong has now become Yu Ding's disciple.

But he is still a Taoist child, his identity has changed, so his title must naturally change as well.

The Chan sect is the place that follows rules the most.

"He'll figure it out."

Yu Ding glanced at the cave and said lightly.

This apprentice's ideals were too small and he was too easily satisfied, which almost made his master lose face. In fact, he had a good memory, but average talent and only had strength.

At this time, Yuan Hong was kneeling quietly in the cave, covering his head with his hands, his face full of pain.

"Yuan Hong, you disappoint me so much!"

Yu Ding's words kept echoing in his mind.

"what!"

Suddenly Yuan Hong roared, opened his eyes, a blazing light of confidence shone in his eyes, he stood up, and walked step by step to Yu Ding.

Qingyun looked at Yuan Hong in surprise.

Although he was still Yuan Hong, Yuan Hong at this moment looked completely different from before, with a different aura on him.

"Master, the disciple is here."

Yuan Hong looked at Yu Ding and said, then bowed down again.

Yu Ding looked at Yuan Hong.

Suddenly there was a hint of surprise in his eyes. Yuan Hong at this moment was completely different from before.

Before, Yuan Hong was timid and lacked confidence, like a small salted fish whose only dream was to turn over.

The layout is too small!

But at this moment, Yuan Hong exuded a different aura.

That look...is called confidence!

"Master, I have also realized it!" Yuan Hong said while looking at Yu Ding with gratitude.

Yu Ding: “…”

Have you realized something? What did you realize?

Yu Ding still had the same master expression on his face as always, and asked calmly, "What did you realize? Tell me."

“The disciple finally understood the master’s good intentions.

My master brought me to the foot of the mountain and gave me the tools to dig the mountain, hoping that I could find my own way up the mountain and thus carve out a path of my own.”

Yuan Hong blamed himself and said, "I was too stupid to realize that Master had such high expectations of me. I have disappointed Master. Please punish me."

After saying that, he bowed down in front of Yu Ding.

Qingyun was stunned. He looked at Yuan Hong and then at Yu Ding, and question marks seemed to pop up in his head.

How did this guy figure it out?

Yu Ding looked at Yuan Hong who was kneeling before him. After a moment of stunned silence, he silently gave a thumbs up to the little white ape in his heart.

Not bad!

He likes this kind of apprentice who gets full marks in reading comprehension the most.

"Very good! Very good! Yuan Hong, I am very pleased that you can figure this out. It proves that I was not wrong about you."

Yu Ding said with a look of satisfaction: "What is the expectation of a master in accepting a disciple? Is it to cultivate another self? No, of course, it is to hope that the disciple can reach or even surpass the master's level one day. This is called the disciple surpasses the master. Cultivating immortals is to go against the law of life and death. If you don't even dare to have the thought of surpassing your master, then what are you cultivating immortals for?"

After that, he took out the Heavenly Book of Eight-Nine Mysterious Arts and said, "Do you still need me to explain it to you now?"

"No need, Master!" Yuan Hong stood up and took the heavenly book, with confidence flashing in his eyes, "Disciple will figure it out on his own, and disciple also believes that he can figure it out."

Of course, disciple!

As a teacher, I like your confidence.

But remember to come and share your thoughts with Master after you have figured out something. I also want to reach your level. Otherwise, what if Yang Jian and you both rise, but I am still standing still? !

Yu Ding nodded slightly, picked up the whisk and swept it: "This boy is teachable, go, go and comprehend it yourself!"

"Disciple retire!"

Yuan Hong retreated with a look of gratitude on his face.

Then Yuan Hong came to a cliff, sat down facing the cliff and began to comprehend the mysterious skills.

The sun and the moon are unstoppable, the wind and rain never stop.

"Master, Senior Brother Yuan Hong has been sitting there without eating or drinking for half a month. Is there anything wrong?"

At the entrance of Jinxia Cave, Qingyun stood next to Yuding, looking at the motionless figure in the rain.

"will not!"

Yu Ding turned and entered the cave. After all, Yuan Hong was a spirit from heaven and earth and was not that delicate.

He came to the cloud bed, sat down and took out a jade book.

But soon Yu Ding put down the book and his eyes fell on the pillow of the cloud bed.

There is a jade box with talismans from the immortals stuck on it.

Looking at the jade box, Yu Ding gritted his teeth and covered it with an open scroll of heavenly book.
