At that very moment, on the high platform, the calm and unwavering gaze of the Supreme Taoist once again fell upon Niu Ben.
"This ox seems to have its own destiny."
With just one glance, Niu Ben felt as if he had been seen through from the inside out, from the origin of his bloodline to the depths of his soul, with no secrets left to him.
"The cultivation method you practice is unlike anything found in the primordial world; it must be a method inherited from your own bloodline." The Supreme One spoke, his tone calm, yet stating a fact.
Niu Ben's heart skipped a beat. He dared not conceal anything and respectfully transmitted his thoughts: "Yes, sir."
He knew that in the presence of a saint, any lie was meaningless.
"Your cultivation method focuses on the physical body, supplemented by the primordial spirit, which is quite profound. It is similar to the method left behind by the great god Pangu," Taishang continued. "However, your foundation is still shallow, and you need to use external methods as a supplement to solidify your foundation."
As soon as he finished speaking, he flicked his finger.
Two beams of clear light flew from his fingertips, transforming into two ancient jade slips that hovered in front of Niu Ben.
"These two methods, one is the [Nine Revolutions Profound Technique] and the other is the [Supreme Clarity Elixir Scripture], which I now bestow upon you."
Niu Ben's heart pounded wildly, and his huge bull eyes widened in shock!
Nine Revolutions Profound Technique! That's the top-tier body-refining technique of the primordial world. Legend has it that it was transformed from the primordial spirit of the Great God Pangu, a supreme method that directly points to the Great Dao of Primordial Chaos!
And there's the Taiqing Danjing! This is Laozi's signature technique, the ancestor of alchemy!
"The Nine Revolutions Profound Technique was transformed from the primordial spirit of Pangu. It possesses the power of nine revolutions and can lead to physical sainthood. However, this technique is incomplete; half of it has been lost and is currently in the hands of the Wu Clan."
"The Kunlun Mountains are rich in spiritual energy. Go find a secluded place, open up a cave, and cultivate diligently."
After saying that, he closed his eyes and ignored him.
Yuanshi and Tongtian on the high platform merely glanced at it indifferently, saying nothing more. In their view, it was perfectly normal for their elder brother to reward his mount with some things.
"Yes, sir."
Niu Ben respectfully responded, carefully put away the jade slip, suppressed his excitement, and slowly withdrew from this core training ground.
He transformed into a streak of blue light and flew towards the depths of the Kunlun Mountains.
Behind him lay the unfathomable Daoist aura of three future sages; before him lay his own brand-new path of cultivation.
He had only one thought in his mind: to become stronger!
In this primordial world where powerful beings roam freely and Golden Immortals are as insignificant as dogs, only one's own strength is the only reliable thing to rely on!
Kunlun Mountain truly deserves its title as the ancestor of all mountains and the first sacred mountain in the primordial world.
The mountain range stretches for tens of millions of miles. Strange peaks rise majestically within the mountains, and celestial waterfalls cascade down their slopes. The spiritual energy is so rich that it is almost tangible. Even a small blade of grass contains pure medicinal power, and would be considered an extraordinary spiritual root in later generations.
Various primordial creatures frolic in the mountains, and rare and exotic animals can be seen everywhere, creating a peaceful and idyllic scene.
Niu Ben sped along, his divine sense spreading out as he searched for a suitable cave dwelling.
He did not go to the mountains with the most abundant spiritual energy. Most of those places already had owners, either disciples of the Three Pure Ones or powerful innate experts.
He was very clear about his role: a mount, there was no need for him to try and steal the spotlight.
Finally, he found an inconspicuous bluestone mountain in a relatively remote mountain range in the Kunlun Mountains.
Although this mountain is not as spiritually powerful as the main peak, it is more tranquil. Its hollow interior is perfect for creating caves.
Niu Ben immediately landed, his massive body transforming into human form. He stretched out his finger and gently touched the blue stone cliff face.
The Golden Immortal's magical power surged, and the incredibly hard mountain rocks were sliced open as if they were tofu, revealing a deep cave entrance out of thin air.
He stepped inside and followed the instructions, quickly carving out a spacious stone chamber in the mountainside. He then set up several simple concealment and defense formations before settling down cross-legged, satisfied.
Although the cave dwelling was simple, at least it was a place of its own in the Kunlun Mountains.
He couldn't wait to take out the two jade slips.
His divine sense probed into the jade slip containing the [Nine Revolutions Profound Technique], and a vast, magnificent, and incomparably profound method instantly flooded into his mind.
"His body becomes heaven and earth, his strength can support the sky, he has achieved nine cycles of enlightenment, and his power is indestructible through countless eons..."
Niu Ben was completely absorbed in it, and the more he tried to understand it, the more alarmed he became.
He then looked at another jade slip, the [Taiqing Danjing].
It records not only various elixir formulas, but also contains the supreme understanding of alchemy by the Supreme Taoist, from pharmacological analysis to the control of fire, and then to the supreme alchemical realm of using heaven and earth as a furnace and the sun and moon as fire. It is all-encompassing and profound.
"We've struck it rich! This time we've really struck it rich!" Niu Ben was overjoyed.
With this alchemy manual, he will be able to transform the spiritual herbs that are abundant in Kunlun Mountain into pills that can enhance his cultivation, and his cultivation speed will surely advance by leaps and bounds!
Suppressing his excitement, Niu Ben began a long period of seclusion.
He first spent a thousand years refining the low-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Azure Profound Armor, until it merged with his own aura.
He then began to cultivate the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique while simultaneously studying the Taiqing Elixir Scripture.
Inside the cave, Niu Ben's body became increasingly solid with each repetition of his cultivation technique. His skin even developed a faint jade-like luster, and every inch of his flesh contained explosive power.
On this day, Niu Ben, who was in deep seclusion, was suddenly awakened by a noisy commotion.
His brows furrowed, and his divine sense instantly pierced through the cave, probing towards the source of the sound.
Instead of flying directly there, he concealed his aura and, like an ordinary person, traversed the mountains and forests, approaching the direction from which the argument was coming.
Soon, he arrived at a valley.
Within the valley, countless rays of light and auspicious energy shone, revealing a top-grade acquired spiritual treasure!
Below Lingbao, two groups of people were locked in a tense standoff, swords drawn.
Niu Ben looked closely and his heart nearly jumped out of his throat.
Goodness, it's only been a short time.
Are the main characters from the Investiture of the Gods starting their films ahead of schedule?
The Golden Spirit Mother retorted in a delicate voice, "Cihang, stop talking nonsense! I clearly discovered this treasure first, so why do you claim it as yours?"
Cihang Daoist held the jade bottle in his hand, his face calm, but his tone was somewhat cold: "Junior Sister Jinling, you are mistaken. This treasure was obtained by my senior brother Guangchengzi through divination of heavenly secrets. We came to collect it on our master's orders. How can you say that we are stealing it?"
"You are utterly shameless!" The Golden Spirit Mother's pretty face turned bright red with anger.
At this moment, Guang Chengzi, who had been silent all along, finally spoke.
His majestic gaze passed over the Golden Spirit Mother and landed directly on Daoist Duobao. His tone was calm, yet it carried an undeniable arrogance.
"Junior Brother Duobao, this item is destined for us, so it should belong to Junior Sister Cihang. You have no objections, do you?"
