Chapter 431 Sowing Discord and Warning! Returning to the Bull Clan!
Then, Luo Hou turned his gaze to Niu Ben, his eyes flashing with a sinister light.
"Kid."
"Remember what I said earlier."
"I'll give you time to think it over!"
"The primordial world will change, and the Way of Heaven is not eternal. When you recognize the true path to transcendence... my promise will still stand."
After saying that, Luo Hou slightly raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a meaningful smile.
Without waiting for Niu Ben and Hongjun to say anything more, he vanished from the spot in a flash.
At the same time, that alternate dimension also vanished with Rahu's departure.
"Um?"
Upon seeing this, Niu Ben frowned slightly, his expression turning somewhat unpleasant, and he muttered to himself:
"That Rahu is truly treacherous!"
"To say such things before leaving—isn't that deliberately making the Dao Ancestor suspicious of me?"
Just as Niu Ben was in a daze, Hongjun frowned, his gaze falling on him, and asked softly:
"Niu Ben" (牛犇).
"How did Rahu come to you?"
Upon hearing this, Niu Ben snapped out of his daze and, without hiding anything, replied directly:
"Grandmaster, Rahu is blocking me because he wants me to join his ranks and promises me a great reward."
"However, I refused him, which is why he attacked me."
Upon hearing Niu Ben's reply, Hongjun narrowed his eyes, his expression turning considerably colder, and purple energy swirled in his eyes.
He looked as if he was deducing something.
You must understand that Niu Ben is someone he values highly. Luo Hou wants to use Niu Ben to carry out his plans, and so does he.
If it weren't for this, when Niu Ben was undergoing the Great Tribulation of Hunyuan in the Underworld, the will of Heaven descended, wanting to eliminate Niu Ben, and Dao Ancestor Hongjun would not have appeared to help Niu Ben overcome the tribulation.
Seeing the change in Hongjun's expression, Niu Ben frowned, thinking that the Dao Ancestor must have developed suspicions about him.
"call!"
After a slight pause, Hongjun took a deep breath, his expression softening, and solemnly looked at Niu Ben, saying:
"Niu Ben, that Rahu is a vicious, treacherous, and vengeful beast."
"If you refuse him today, he will surely hold a grudge."
"When you travel through the primordial wilderness or even delve into chaos in the future, you must be doubly careful."
"If you encounter any harassment or sabotage from them and find it difficult to deal with, you may come to Zixiao Palace to find me at any time."
"Remember, don't try to tough it out on your own."
Upon hearing what Hongjun said, Niu Ben nodded in understanding and bowed deeply to Hongjun with a grateful expression.
"Disciple understands, thank you for your protection and admonition, Master!"
While saying this, Niu Ben was filled with emotion.
Being targeted by someone like Demon Ancestor Rahu is not a good thing.
"Even though my cultivation has reached the ninth level of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm, my strength is still insufficient!"
"If we could break through to the Heavenly Dao level, how could we be so passive when facing Rahu?"
Niu Ben muttered to himself, having clearly realized the implications of the previous battle between the Devouring Universe Realm and the Holy Ancestor, coupled with his recent encounter with Luo Hou.
His strength is far from enough!
Even though it is a path of transcendence and freedom, it still faces many constraints before it truly matures.
At this moment, Hongjun nodded slightly, gave Niu Ben a meaningful look, said nothing more, and then disappeared from the spot in a flash.
After Hongjun left, Niu Ben sighed helplessly, feeling a bit of a headache.
After defeating the Devouring Universe Realm, he obtained a Saint's Crystal, but in the blink of an eye, he was targeted by an existence like Demon Ancestor Rahu, and now he owes Dao Ancestor Hongjun a huge favor.
"This primordial water is getting muddier and muddier!"
After a moment's thought, Niu Ben sighed.
"That's enough."
"When soldiers come, generals will block them; when water comes, earth will dam it; when the car reaches the mountain, there's always a way!"
With that, Niu Ben composed himself and stopped thinking about it, continuing his journey towards the Ten Thousand Mountains.
Before long, he arrived at the outer edge of the Ten Thousand Mountains.
Today's cattle tribe is vastly different from what it used to be.
Since Niu Ben's sudden emergence and his rapid rise in cultivation until he became a top-tier Primordial Grand Luo cultivator in the prehistoric world, the status of the Niu clan among the myriad races of the prehistoric world has naturally risen as well.
The bloodline talent of the Bull Clan is not among the top in the myriad races of the prehistoric world. The strongest in the clan at present is Bull Ba, the father of Bull Ben, but he is only at the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal.
Moreover, Niu Ben's current cultivation level was due to the enhancement he received from the Great Luo Golden Pill he was given.
In addition, the same applies to high-ranking members of the Niu clan, such as Niu Qing.
Although the Bull Clan has several Great Luo Golden Immortals, they are not considered particularly strong in the prehistoric world where powerful clans abound.
Furthermore, there are also drawbacks to using the Great Luo Golden Pill to improve one's cultivation.
That is, once one's cultivation reaches the Great Luo Golden Immortal level, it becomes difficult to make any further progress. The only way to improve further is to take a Quasi-Saint Pill.
Niu Ben had also considered refining a quasi-saint pill for the Niu clan, but he was always preoccupied with various matters, so the matter was shelved.
Of course, because of the presence of the Great Luo Golden Immortal of the Bull Clan, even without top-tier experts, no one dared to underestimate the Bull Clan.
Even many powerful clans maintained awe and deference towards the Bull Clan.
After all, Niu Ben was a genuine Grand Luo Immortal.
As long as Niu Ben is around, no one dares to provoke the Niu clan.
Soon, Niu Ben arrived above the Ten Thousand Mountains and, with a leap, passed through the Niu Clan's protective array, the Hunyuan Wuji Array.
This formation was originally set up by Niu Ben, so it naturally wouldn't affect him.
When they looked again, Niu Benren had already arrived outside his own yard.
In the courtyard, the cow mother was chatting with the cow tyrant, while the little cow sister sat on a stone stool, gazing blankly at the sky.
Niu Ben looked around and felt that the time before him had become quiet and peaceful.
After a brief look around, he didn't linger any longer and stepped inside.
Upon hearing Niu Ben's footsteps, Niu Ba and the other two simultaneously looked up.
"Ben...Ben'er!"
"elder brother!"
Upon seeing Niu Ben, Niu Ba and his two companions were overjoyed and immediately stood up to greet him.
Especially Niu Xiaomei, who rushed up and threw herself into Niu Ben's arms.
"Father, Mother, Little Sister!"
Niu Ben was also happy to be reunited with his family.
"Ben'er, why are you the only one back? Where...where's your wife?"
Overwhelmed with excitement, the cow mother frowned slightly and asked with a look of surprise.
Before Niu Ben could answer, Niu Xiaomei pulled away from his embrace and asked as well:
"Yeah, bro!"
"Where are Sister Xihe and Sister Changxi? Don't you take them with you when you go home?"
Niu Ben smiled faintly and explained:
"I just went to Zixiao Palace and haven't had time to go back to the underworld yet."
After Niu Ben explained it this way, Niu Mu and Niu Xiaomei nodded in understanding.
At this moment, Niu Ba looked straight at Niu Ben, his eyes filled with tears.
Seeing this, Niu Ben took two steps forward, stared at Niu Ba for a moment, and the father and son didn't say anything before giving each other a big hug.
