Chapter 108 Guiding the Supreme Being?
At the same time, after absorbing the divinely bestowed merit, Niu Ben felt extremely comfortable all over his body.
"Awesome!"
After a brief examination, he discovered that his cultivation had broken through from the mid-stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm to the late-stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.
"We're getting closer and closer to becoming a Quasi-Saint."
"Now my Chaos Divine Ox Scripture has also entered the second level, the Celestial Ox Realm."
"Of the three thousand Earthly Fiend Divine Oxen within my body, dozens have already transformed into Heavenly Divine Oxen."
"Although I haven't reached the Quasi-Saint realm, with my current strength, I can still fight against ordinary Quasi-Saint powerhouses."
Niu Ben thought to himself.
Back when he was still in the mid-stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, he drove away the Quasi-Saint Yun Le Immortal Lord of the Purple Mansion Immortal Court in the Ten Thousand Mountains.
Now, his cultivation has improved again, reaching the late stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.
Niu Ben was very confident that if he were to face Immortal Lord Yun Le again, it wouldn't be so easy for the latter to escape as he had before.
At this moment, seeing that Niu Ben had absorbed the merit and his cultivation had increased, the Supreme Being, who was standing nearby, looked even more puzzled and couldn't help but ask:
"My disciple."
"Nuwa's junior sister molded humans from clay, receiving boundless merit bestowed by the Heavenly Dao, and thus attained sainthood."
"How come a portion of this merit has fallen on you?"
Previously, the Supreme Lord had been puzzled and couldn't figure it out no matter how much he thought about it.
Upon hearing the Supreme Lord's question, Niu Ben quickly snapped out of his reverie and explained:
"Reporting back to Master."
"When the disciples left Kunlun Mountain, they traveled through the primordial wilderness and climbed Buzhou Mountain."
"On Mount Buzhou, by chance, we found the Three Lights Divine Water."
"I intended to take it, but just then my aunt Nuwa arrived, so I gave the divine water to her."
"Later, my aunt Nuwa climbed Mount Buzhou with me, and I found the innate spiritual root gourd vine. I gave half of the gourd vine to my aunt Nuwa."
"My aunt Nuwa originally intended to give me a primordial spiritual treasure, but I declined because of my master's relationship with her."
"Unexpectedly, these two items are related to my aunt Nuwa's attainment of sainthood."
Niu Ben then recounted his encounter with Nuwa at Buzhou Mountain.
Naturally, they wouldn't tell the Emperor.
He already knew that the Three Lights Divine Water and the half-cut gourd vine were the key items for Nuwa's attainment of sainthood.
It was precisely because they wanted a share of the spoils that they gave those two treasures to Nuwa free of charge.
"Ha ha!"
After hearing Niu Ben's explanation, Taishang couldn't help but burst into laughter:
"You lucky ox."
"By sheer coincidence, I also received a share of the merits from Nuwa's junior sister's ascension to sainthood."
Just now, the Supreme Lord was still quite puzzled.
I can't understand what Nuwa's ascension to sainthood has to do with my disciple.
Why did Heaven bestow merit, and even send down a portion of it, which fell upon Niu Ben?
After Niu Ben's explanation, everything became clear instantly.
The Supreme Being had no doubts about what Niu Ben said.
"call!"
Immediately afterwards, the smile on the Supreme Lord's face suddenly vanished, replaced by a look of melancholy.
Among the six saints appointed by the Dao Ancestor Hongjun, Nuwa was the first to attain sainthood.
He, however, after spending so many years meditating in the Eight Views Palace, still had no clue about his path to sainthood.
"I wonder where my path to sainthood lies?"
After thinking for a moment, Taishang couldn't help but sigh.
I originally thought I would be the first to attain sainthood, but I didn't expect Nuwa to seize the opportunity first.
Just as Tai Shang was sighing, a system notification suddenly sounded in Niu Ben's mind:
【Ding! 】
[Congratulations, host, for triggering a god-level choice mission!]
[Option 1: Kindness is like a spring breeze; helping others is helping oneself. Inform the Supreme One in advance that you have a connection with humanity, and the opportunity to become a saint lies within.]
[Reward: 100,000 Merit Points]
Option Two: Mind your own business and don't worry about what others are going through. Let things take their natural course and let the Supreme Being understand on their own.
[Reward: One Innate Spiritual Treasure.]
"Um?"
Upon hearing the system's sudden notification, Niu Ben was secretly surprised and then began to ponder.
Others might not know this, but Niu Ben was very clear about it.
The Supreme Being's desire to attain sainthood is closely related to the human race.
It is through establishing a teaching on humanity that one achieves sainthood through merit.
Nuwa didn't create the human race, so she couldn't foresee the opportunity for her to become a saint.
But now, Nuwa has created the human race and become a saint.
For Taishang, the opportunity to become a saint could be considered to have come in this world.
"Ten thousand merits?"
"That's a pretty good reward."
"Now that the human race has emerged, if I were to inform my master now that his path to sainthood lies with the human race, would I not incur too much karmic repercussions?"
Niu Ben's thoughts raced.
After some thought, a resolute look flashed in his eyes.
"System, I choose one."
Niu Ben chose the first option directly.
He certainly didn't lack innate spiritual treasures.
If the Supreme Being could attain sainthood as soon as possible, it would be a good thing for him.
After all, by then, he would be the sage's chief disciple.
This identity alone was enough to intimidate a host of petty scoundrels.
Having made his choice, Niu Ben's gaze sharpened, and he looked directly at the Supreme Emperor:
"Master."
"If you have nothing else to do, why not take a trip to the primordial wilderness?"
"You could also go and see this newly born human race."
"Perhaps your opportunity, Master, lies in this human race."
Upon hearing what Niu Ben said, Taishang chuckled and said:
"You little rascal, you seem to care quite a bit about your teacher."
"This opportunity to become a saint is extraordinary, and I'm afraid it will be difficult for it to be granted to this human race."
"In the primordial world, countless races coexisted, and the human race, being newly born and weak, would likely find it difficult to survive."
Upon hearing this, Niu Ben was taken aback.
Unexpectedly, the Supreme Lord responded to him in this way.
He had originally thought that with his guidance, the Supreme Lord would be able to perceive something.
Who would have thought that the Supreme Being would be so pessimistic about the human race?
He even felt that his own chance to become a saint could not possibly come true for a human.
After a moment of surprise, Niu Ben came to his senses and didn't say anything more.
He has already informed the Supreme Lord and has received a system reward of 100,000 merit points.
As for what choice the Supreme Lord will make, that is beyond his control.
After a brief silence, Niu Ben changed the subject:
"Master."
"This disciple has returned to see Master."
"This is my first time visiting the place since my master moved away from Kunlun Mountain and established a new temple here."
"Next, I would like to make another trip to Kunlun Mountain to express my gratitude to my Uncle Yuanshi."
Upon hearing Niu Ben's words, Taishang was slightly surprised and asked, puzzled:
"Thanks to the Primordial Beginning?"
Why?
Upon hearing this, Niu Ben didn't hide anything and said directly:
"Reporting to Master."
"In the past, the Purple Mansion army attacked the Bull Clan of the Ten Thousand Mountains."
"At that time, I happened to be traveling outside Kunlun Mountain."
"And Master and Uncle Tongtian have also left Kunlun Mountain."
"After learning of this, Master Yuanshi sent his disciples, including Guangchengzi, to the Niu tribe to protect our people."
"Otherwise, my Bull Clan would likely have already been annihilated by the army of the Purple Mansion Celestial Court!"
