Chapter 3: Ben'er's future is the future of the Bull Clan!
Niu Ba's outstretched hand trembled slightly.
He stared intently at the fifth-stage golden pill.
On the pill, five mysterious patterns seemed to come alive, swirling in his eyes and exuding a deadly allure.
Golden Immortal!
This was the realm he longed for, yet it remained unattainable.
Once he takes it, he will immediately break through to the next level and become a powerful figure that has not appeared in his race for tens of thousands of years.
He led the increasingly declining cattle tribe, especially their lineage, to new heights.
But the price is that the road ahead is cut off, and there will be no further progress in this life.
They trade all their future possibilities for the present stability of their community.
does it worth?
In Niu Ba's mind, the sorrowful faces of the clan elders appeared, as did the menacing alien races outside the clan's territory.
His son Niu Ben's young and resolute face came to mind.
He was going to Kunlun Mountain to follow the future sage.
The only thing I, as his father, can do is to clear away all his worries so that he can focus on his spiritual practice without any further concerns.
future?
My future as a bully is no longer important.
Ben'er's future is the future of the Bull Clan!
The thought exploded in his mind, and the last trace of hesitation in Niu Ba's eyes vanished, replaced by endless determination.
Without further hesitation, he tilted his head back and swallowed the golden pill.
"boom!"
As soon as the pill entered his stomach, an unimaginable surge of immense medicinal power exploded forth!
The violent torrent of energy instantly shattered the shackles of the Golden Immortal within him, like a celestial river overflowing its banks, washing over his limbs and bones, and transforming his immortal body and Dao foundation!
His body radiated a burst of divine light, and a terrifying pressure surged into the sky.
The Dao Fruit of a Golden Immortal.
It worked!
Feeling the unprecedented power within his body, Niu Ba felt a quiet sense of peace and tranquility.
"Go on, Ben'er."
"Your father is here to handle matters concerning the clan."
"Follow the Supreme Elder closely."
Taishang glanced at it calmly, nodded slightly, and considered the matter settled.
"The time has come, let's go."
"Yes, sir."
Immediately, with a thought, he activated the dormant source within his body.
"Moo!"
Niu Ben's figure rapidly transformed in the celestial light, becoming a magnificent and extraordinary blue ox.
An ancient and noble aura, tinged with a hint of chaos, emanated from him.
With a swift movement, Taishang landed lightly on the ox's back, as steady as Mount Tai.
With a single stomp of its four hooves, the blue ox transformed into a streak of blue light and sped off toward Kunlun Mountain.
Only Niu Ba remained.
Feeling the surging magical power within his body, and watching his son and the Supreme Elder's departing figures, he clenched his fists, his eyes flashing with a sharp light.
"Hahaha, my Green Ox clan is about to rise up!"
In the primordial era, years were not recorded.
Niu Ben transformed into his true form as a green ox, carrying Tai Shang, and sped eastward toward Kunlun.
Beneath our feet lie endless mountains and rivers, a scene of wild and primitive beauty.
The towering peaks, thousands of feet high, pierce the clouds like sharp swords, while the wide rivers meander like jade belts.
Every now and then, one could sense a powerful aura flashing by in the mountains and forests below; those were beings belonging to the Hundred Races of the Primordial Era.
The Taoist priest on his back was unfathomable.
Although he could not feel any weight, its intangible and immeasurable presence was heavier than the entire primordial world combined, keeping Niu Ben in awe at all times.
This is the head of the Three Pure Ones, the future sage, and his right-hand man.
Just as his thoughts were racing, a ripple suddenly appeared in the space in front of him.
Two figures emerged from the void and blocked their path.
The person on the left is wearing a bright red Taoist robe and has a kind face.
The man on the right wore a blue Taoist robe, had an ancient face, and a calm and steady demeanor like the earth. His eyes seemed to contain a world within them.
Niu Ben felt a chill run down his spine.
What a powerful aura!
These two are incredibly competitive.
However, he did not panic.
He was just a mount, but the one sitting on his back was the Supreme Taoist!
Transformed from the primordial spirit of Pangu, the future Heavenly Sage!
Looking across the vast and ancient world today, who dares to disrespect him? And who can be his match?
As the mount, all I need to do is sit back and watch the show.
Sure enough, the Taoist priest on his back didn't move an inch, only uttering a calm voice.
"Zhen Yuanzi, Hongyun, fellow Daoists, what brings you to my path?"
Zhen Yuanzi? Hongyun?
Niu Ben was greatly shocked. So these were the two great beings from the primordial era!
Zhen Yuanzi, the ancestor of earth immortals, and Hongyun, a kind-hearted old man!
The kind-hearted old man in red robes, Hongyun, stepped forward and laughed heartily, "Fellow Daoist Taishang, what a coincidence! It's truly an incredible coincidence!"
"Just now, my brother and I were discussing the Dao in the temple when he suddenly sensed something and said that there was an auspicious aura rising from the west. So we came together to investigate, and unexpectedly, this so-called auspicious aura was actually from you, fellow Daoist."
Zhen Yuanzi bowed deeply and spoke calmly, "It is an honor to have the Supreme Daoist Fellow Daoist grace us with his presence. I am sorry that I was unable to greet you from afar."
"My Wuzhuang Temple is not far away. If you don't mind, fellow Daoist, would you mind moving in for a while, so that the three of us can discuss the Great Dao together? Wouldn't that be wonderful?"
Zhen Yuanzi's invitation was very sincere.
However, the Supreme Taoist Master fell silent.
Having just severed his three corpses, his mind was clear and he was about to return to Kunlun Mountain to cultivate in seclusion and solidify the insights gained from this breakthrough.
Going to Wuzhuang Temple to discuss Taoism would undoubtedly delay his journey.
For a moment, the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.
Niu Ben lay motionless on the cloud, his breathing slowed down.
He could sense that the Supreme Lord did not seem to want to go.
But just then, the voice he had been waiting for finally rang in his mind.
"Ding!"
"God-level selection system activated."
"A divine choice has been triggered. Please make your selection, Master."
coming!
Niu Ben's spirits lifted, and golden characters, visible only to him, instantly appeared before his eyes. 8
[Option 1: Remain silent, do not interfere with any decisions made by the Supreme Taoist, and return directly to Kunlun Mountain. Completing this choice will reward you with one [Five-Turn Golden Pill].]
[Option Two: Try every means to persuade the Supreme Taoist to come to Wuzhuang Temple for a discussion, thus fostering a positive relationship between the Three Pure Ones, Zhen Yuanzi, and Hongyun. Completing this choice will reward you with the Chaos Divine Ox Scripture.]
Looking at the two options presented by the system, Niu Ben's heart began to beat faster than usual.
Five-stage Golden Elixir!
This is also a rare treasure in the primordial world, enough to save him countless years of arduous cultivation and allow his cultivation to advance by leaps and bounds.
But another reward made it almost impossible for him to breathe.
The Chaos Divine Ox Scripture!
This is a training method tailor-made for him!
It is the supreme method that leads directly to the Great Dao of Chaos and Demon Gods!
Your starting point determines your lower limit, while your skill level determines how high your upper limit can be!
With his ancestral roots and this exclusive supreme technique, the two complement each other, and his future truly holds limitless possibilities!
Is this still a choice?
It has to be the second one!
But the question is, how do we choose?
He is now merely a mount, a lowly bull demon at the Celestial Immortal realm.
In the conversation between the three quasi-saints, how could he possibly have a say?
