Chapter 524 The Emperor Himself Descends to the Underworld! A Difficult Situation?
The next moment, Niu Ben's aura rapidly increased.
For a moment, Niu Ben slowly opened his eyes, and his aura suddenly subsided, becoming one with the universe.
"We've finally completely refined that drop of Pangu's essence blood!"
"It's a pity... my cultivation level hasn't broken through."
Niu Ben muttered to himself.
Previously, he had promised Zhen Yuanzi to help Hongyun's wisp of true spirit reincarnate as a human, becoming the Earth Emperor Shennong of the human race, and in return, he received a drop of Pangu's essence blood as a reward.
In the years that followed, Niu Ben continued to refine the essence of Pangu's blood.
Now, we have finally succeeded in refining that drop of Pangu's essence blood.
Although his cultivation level had improved considerably, Niu Ben did not break through to the next level.
"That's enough!"
"It seems the karmic connection wasn't strong enough."
"However, after refining that drop of Pangu's essence blood, another Chaos Divine Ox was added to my body."
"Your strength has improved quite a bit!"
Niu Ben said with a smile that although he had not broken through to the next realm, his strength had greatly improved compared to before.
Without much thought, Niu Ben sprang out from his independent, blessed land.
Just then, one of his men came to report:
"My lord, the Human Emperor has come to request an audience!"
"Um?"
Upon hearing this, Niu Ben was slightly surprised and muttered to himself:
"Heaven?"
"Why is my disciple in the underworld at this time?"
After a slight hesitation, Niu Ben then had someone lead Huang Tian up.
Not long after, Huang Tian arrived inside the main hall.
Upon seeing Niu Ben, he immediately bowed in greeting:
"Disciple Huang Tian greets Master!"
Niu Ben smiled faintly, raised his hand in a gesture of support, and asked:
"Your Majesty, why are you here in my Underworld instead of staying among the human race?"
Upon hearing Niu Ben's question, Huang Tian paused for a moment, looking as if he had something difficult to say.
Seeing that Huang Tian hesitated to speak, Niu Ben said calmly:
"Please speak freely!"
"Whoosh!"
Huang Tian took a deep breath before speaking:
"Master, I have come to the Underworld because... I need your help!"
As he spoke, Huang Tian stared intently at Niu Ben, his eyes full of pleading.
"Oh?"
Niu Ben was slightly taken aback, but quickly regained his composure and smiled calmly:
"Speak! What is it?"
This time, Huang Tian didn't delay any longer and said directly:
"This disciple humbly requests that my master grant me, a disciple, a place to teach the Five Emperors!"
As soon as Huang Tian uttered these words, Niu Ben's expression changed drastically.
"What?"
"Your human race also wants a spot to educate the Five Emperors?"
Niu Ben's expression was slightly solemn, and he seemed to be in a bit of a predicament.
It should be understood that when the will of Heaven descended, it had already allocated the places for the education of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors of the human race.
The sage Nuwa was given a quota to educate Emperor Fuxi, while the Western religion received a quota to educate the Five Emperors.
The remaining spots were given to the three religions of the Three Pure Ones.
Niu Ben didn't care about this at first, but on his way back to the underworld, he encountered his father, Niu Ba.
At that time, Niu Ba was also hoping to get a spot to teach the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.
Unable to resist Niu Ba's stubbornness, and for the sake of the Niu clan, Niu Ben shamelessly returned to Penglai Immortal Island and obtained a place for the Niu clan to be educated from the Three Pure Ones.
But now, Huangtian has approached him at this time, wanting him to secure a place for the human race to be educated.
This put Niu Ben in a somewhat difficult position.
Seeing that Niu Ben hadn't responded for a long time, Huang Tian was also very uneasy, so he quickly pursed his lips and said:
"Master."
"I hope you will help my human race this time, considering its weakness!"
Niu Ben initially intended to refuse, but after reconsidering, he changed his mind. Taking a deep breath, he finally replied:
"Heaven."
"Of the remaining five spots for the Emperors' teachings, the Western Religion and the Bull Clan each occupy one."
"The remaining three are in the hands of my Uncle Tongtian."
"I can only promise you that I will talk to Uncle Tongtian. Whether Uncle Tongtian will agree or not is beyond my control."
Huang Tian was naturally delighted to hear Niu Ben's words.
Although Niu Ben wasn't entirely certain in his agreement, the fact that he was willing to discuss it with the Sage of Heaven meant there was hope.
"Thank you, Master!"
"On behalf of the entire human race, this disciple kowtows to you, Master!"
Huang Tian said excitedly, then knelt down before Niu Ben and kowtowed several times.
"You should go back to the human race and wait there!"
"I will let you know if there is any news."
Niu Ben said calmly.
"Yes, Master!"
Huang Tian nodded, stood up, bowed to Niu Ben, and then left.
After Huang Tian left, Niu Ben sighed helplessly and muttered to himself:
"Looks like I'll have to go back to Penglai Island!"
After saying that, Niu Ben vanished from the spot in a flash.
……
Penglai Immortal Island, one of the secondary islands, is located within Biyou Palace.
The Master of the Heavenly Sect was cultivating with his eyes closed.
"Um?"
Suddenly, he opened his eyes and looked towards the outside of Biyou Palace.
"Why is this calf back?"
Tongtian was secretly taken aback.
Just then, a figure appeared outside Biyou Palace; it was Niu Ben.
"Disciple Niu Ben requests an audience with Martial Uncle Tongtian!"
Niu Ben bowed to Biyou Palace.
"Young Niu Ben, you're already the number one among all the saints in the heavens, why are you still being so polite? Come in!"
Upon hearing the message from the Tongtian Sect Leader, Niu Ben smiled faintly and stepped directly into Biyou Palace.
Before approaching, Niu Ben bowed deeply to the Tongtian Sect Leader.
Although his current cultivation level is among the highest among the many saints, the Three Pure Ones are his teachers and mentors. Even if their strength surpasses that of the Three Spears, they should still be treated with respect!
"Um?"
"Your cultivation has improved again!"
Before Niu Ben could even speak, the Sage of Heaven cried out in surprise. In a flash, he disappeared from the cloud bed and appeared beside Niu Ben.
"Uncle-Master, it's just a minor breakthrough!"
Niu Ben said calmly.
"Ha ha!"
Upon hearing what Niu Ben said, the Tongtian Sect Leader couldn't help but burst into laughter:
"You ox, your destiny is beyond comprehension."
"After joining my Xuanmen sect, I have made rapid progress and am now the number one among all the saints!"
"As his senior in the martial arts school, I still find it unbelievable whenever I think about it!"
Seeing the Sage Tongtian praise him so highly, Niu Ben remained calm and replied:
"Uncle-Master, please stop praising me!"
"I can't take praise. If you praise me any more, I'll get cocky."
Upon hearing this, Tongtian smiled and then got back to the main point:
"Alright, go ahead and say it!"
"What brings you here to see me?"
Niu Ben didn't keep them in suspense and went straight to the point:
"Uncle-Master, I... I've come to you this time to ask you for a spot in the Five Emperors' Cult!"
Niu Ben originally thought that Tongtian Shengren would hesitate or ask for the reason.
But who would have thought that, upon hearing this, the Tongtian Sect Leader replied without hesitation:
"no problem."
"I've already given the quota for the education of the First of the Five Emperors to my eldest disciple, Duobao. There are two more left; you can take them!"
