Primordial Era: I am the First Green Ox, the Senior Brother of the Three Religions

Chapter 137 First Meeting of the Master and Disciple! The Supreme Elder is Still Standing Still!

Xuan Du was shocked when he heard Niu Ben announce his name.

"this?"

"Niu...Niu Run?"

"Is he my senior brother whom I've never met before?"

Xuan Du gasped in surprise.

Just now, I was about to question Niu Ben.

After all, Niu Ben didn't look like a member of the human tribe here.

Unexpectedly, before he could even speak, Niu Ben spoke first.

What surprised Xuandu even more was...

The person in front of me is my senior brother!

After arriving at the human tribe, Taishang began to teach the Dao of Golden Elixir among the humans.

Xuandu possesses exceptional talent and has a high level of comprehension in both internal and external alchemy.

That is why the Supreme Master accepted Xuandu as his disciple.

He was also bestowed with the Eight Trigrams Purple Gold Furnace.

This was naturally told to Taishang after Xuandu was taken under his wing.

Above Xuandu, he also had a personal disciple, who was also his senior brother, named Niu Ben.

At that time, Xuandu wondered what his senior brother looked like.

I never expected to run into you in this kind of setting today.

Surprised, Xuandu suddenly sensed something.

His senior brother's cultivation was unfathomable; he couldn't sense the depth of his abilities at all.

"As expected of my senior brother!"

Xuandu sighed inwardly.

Then, he quickly stepped forward, bowed deeply to Niu Ben, and said:

"Xuandu greets Senior Brother Niu Ben!"

Niu Ben smiled slightly, his expression remaining calm and composed.

After all, he had guessed Xuandu's identity just now when he saw him standing next to Taishang.

"Junior Brother Xuandu, there's no need for such formalities."

Niu Ben had a gentle expression on his face.

The next moment, he waved his hand lightly, and a spiritual fruit floated out from his palm.

This spiritual fruit radiates a five-colored brilliance, its spiritual energy is incredibly rich, and it is also entwined with innate Dao patterns, making it clearly extraordinary.

"Junior brother, here's a primordial spiritual fruit for you."

"It will greatly benefit your current cultivation level!"

After saying that, Niu Ben casually waved his hand, and the innate spiritual fruit floated down in front of Xuan Du.

With his sharp eyesight, he noticed it at a glance.

Xuan Du's cultivation level is only at the Celestial Immortal realm. Giving him a Primordial Spirit Fruit would be enough to greatly increase his cultivation level.

This gift is quite nice.

Of course, Niu Ben isn't without his own strengths.

Not to mention the various treasures obtained from the system.

During the previous great battle between the demon race and the Purple Mansion, he secretly went to plunder the Purple Mansion's treasury and obtained a large number of treasures.

However, Xuandu's cultivation level is still very weak.

Even if you give him something better, it will be useless.

"this……"

"A primordial spiritual fruit?"

Upon seeing this, Xuan Du's heart trembled, and his face was filled with astonishment.

Unexpectedly, his senior brother gave him such a generous gift on their first meeting.

After a brief moment of shock, Xuandu quickly handed over the innate spiritual fruit and bowed to Niu Ben in gratitude:

"Thank you, senior brother!"

Niu Ben smiled slightly, not paying much attention.

It's just a primordial spiritual fruit.

For him, it wasn't exactly a good thing.

After seeing Niu Ben present the treasure Xuan Du, Taishang smiled with satisfaction and sighed inwardly:

"My disciple is indeed calm and reserved!"

He originally thought that Niu Ben would be surprised to learn that he had gained a junior brother.

To everyone's surprise, Niu Ben appeared extremely calm and composed.

This was somewhat unexpected for the Supreme Lord.

"Oh?"

"He...he actually broke through to the Quasi-Saint level?"

Immediately afterwards, Taishang realized that Niu Ben's cultivation had already surpassed the level of Great Luo Golden Immortal and advanced to the Quasi-Saint realm.

Moreover, Niu Ben's aura seemed to be different from that of ordinary quasi-saints, being even purer and more powerful!

Of course, what the Supreme Being was unaware of was...

Niu Ben did not follow the path of severing the three corpses to become a saint, but rather the path of Hunyuan.

Previously, in the Dragon Clan, after consuming and refining that Primordial Golden Pill, his cultivation naturally broke through to the Primordial Golden Immortal realm.

This level of attainment is comparable to that of a quasi-saint.

Shocked, Taishang was filled with mixed emotions.

"My disciple has already grown to the level of a Quasi-Saint!"

But I'm stuck in the same place.

"I have never been able to comprehend the way of the sages."

Tai Shang muttered to himself, feeling bitter and helpless just thinking about it.

After all, his disciple Niu Ben has grown to such a level, while he himself has made no progress on the path to sainthood for so many years!

After thinking for a while, Taishang took a deep breath before speaking:

"My disciple."

"Where did you come from?"

Upon hearing the question posed by the Supreme Being, Niu Ben did not conceal anything and replied:

"Reporting back to Master."

"This disciple comes from the East Sea."

"When I passed by this place, I sensed a familiar aura below, so I descended to see what it was all about."

"I thought it was an old friend, but I didn't expect it to be Master here."

Upon hearing this, the Supreme Lord nodded and remarked with emotion:

"Master, I followed your advice back then."

"That's why I came to this human tribe to take a look."

Niu Ben understood and asked another question:

"Has Master gained any insights?"

The Supreme Lord paused for a moment, then gave a bitter smile and said:

"I did gain some insights."

"only……"

At this point, the Supreme Lord paused for a moment before adding:

"It was just that one tiny bit off."

"Why……"

The Supreme Lord shook his head and sighed.

When he first arrived in the human realm, the primordial purple energy in his mind reacted violently.

This also made him aware of it.

The opportunity for my own sainthood lies with the human race.

Unfortunately, despite spending all these years preaching in the human tribe, he never truly attained enlightenment!

The Supreme Being felt that he was just one step away from becoming a saint, only one thin layer of paper had not yet been pierced.

So close, so very close, yet I can't catch it!

Just then, a system notification sounded in Niu Ben's mind:

【Ding! 】

[Congratulations, host, for triggering a god-level choice mission!]

[Option 1: Guide the Supreme Being, pointing him to the secret realm and revealing the path to sainthood!]

[Reward: Obtain a Mysterious Dojo.]

[Option Two: Leave this place, ignore everything, and let the Supreme Being figure it out on his own.]

[Reward: One Innate Spiritual Treasure.]

"Oh?"

Upon hearing the system notification, Niu Ben was secretly surprised.

Unexpectedly, a god-level choice quest was triggered at this moment.

After all, Nuwa had made a similar choice at Shouyang Mountain after she became a saint.

At that time, he also chose to inform the Supreme Lord that he had a connection with the human race.

You can receive a reward of 100,000 merits.

Or, if one disregards everything, one may obtain a primordial spiritual treasure.

In the end, Niu Ben chose to inform the Supreme Emperor.

But who would have thought that the Supreme Being didn't care at the time, thinking that his chance to become a saint would be in the hands of a newly born, weak human race.

"I have no shortage of innate spiritual treasures."

"But this mysterious dojo..."

After a moment's thought, a resolute glint flashed in Niu Ben's eyes; he had made his decision.

He possesses numerous innate spiritual treasures.

However, this temple is indeed not yet available.

"System, choose one!"

Soon, Niu Ben made his choice: to go and enlighten the Supreme One once again!
