Chapter 136: Even the Unprincipled Man Has a Great Opportunity! The Preaching Human Race!
Suddenly, an idea popped into Huang Long's mind.
Once he thought of this, he became absolutely certain that the reason Qinglong had chosen him to inherit the Dragon Emperor's throne must be because of Niu Ben!
Otherwise, he had only just met Qinglong, and this elder of the dragon clan should not be so supportive of him.
After figuring this out, Huang Long felt something was still strange.
"My senior brother only said one sentence, yet Elder Qinglong values me so highly?"
"Logically, this shouldn't be the case!"
Huang Long muttered to himself.
Meanwhile, Ao Guang, who was standing to the side, also had his own suspicions.
"What's going on?"
"Has the Azure Dragon Ancestor decided on the next Dragon Emperor for the Dragon Clan?"
"And it was given to Huanglong!"
"Is it because Immortal Niu Ben freed him from that sealed place?"
Ao Guang's thoughts were in turmoil.
Even if Niu Ben had saved Qinglong, Qinglong shouldn't have acted this way.
Little did they know, the Azure Dragon had already submitted to Niu Ben.
Niu Ben's brief reminder made Qinglong understand that he wanted Qinglong to take better care of Huanglong within the Dragon Clan.
"What's wrong?"
"You young upstart, are you perhaps unwilling?"
Seeing that Huanglong had not made a move for a long time, Qinglong glanced at him and frowned.
Upon hearing this, Huang Long quickly snapped out of his daze and hurriedly said:
"This junior...is willing!"
"Thank you so much, Ancestor, for bestowing this treasure!"
As he spoke, Huanglong carefully took the Ancestral Dragon Pearl from Qinglong's hand.
"I never imagined that this trip was just about going back to the Dragon Palace for a visit."
"I unexpectedly ran into my senior brother."
"Moreover, I obtained such a great opportunity because of my senior brother's influence."
Huang Long was secretly startled and exclaimed, feeling deeply grateful to Niu Ben!
Seeing Huanglong accept the Ancestral Dragon Pearl, Qinglong smiled with satisfaction.
Since his master wanted him to promote Huanglong, he might as well make him the Dragon Emperor of the Dragon Clan.
With his assistance as the Grand Elder of the Dragon Clan, none of the dragon clans in the four seas dared to disobey.
……
Meanwhile, Niu Benren had already ascended to heaven on a cloud.
Soon, he left the waters of the East China Sea.
He was unaware of Qinglong's arrangements.
The previous suggestion was merely to hope that Huanglong could gain some benefits from the Dragon Clan.
After all, as a time traveler, he was well aware of Huanglong Daoren's predicament.
Although he was a direct disciple of Yuanshi Tianzun, he didn't have many great opportunities.
He had no disciples, no magical treasures, and no battle achievements, yet he was enthusiastic, liked to stand up for others, and was somewhat brainless.
That's why he was jokingly called "the Taoist of Four No's".
Besides, he wasn't treated very well by the dragons.
Since he had run into them, Niu Ben thought he should help if he could.
However, he did not expect that after understanding the situation, the Azure Dragon would directly give the Dragon Emperor position of the Dragon Clan to the Yellow Dragon.
"Junior Brother Huanglong."
"How far you go from here depends entirely on your own destiny."
Niu Ben muttered to himself with emotion, then stopped thinking about Huanglong's matter.
"It's time to go back to Shouyang Mountain!"
Earlier, Niu Ben had joined forces with Di Jun and Tai Yi of the demon race to destroy Dong Wang Gong's Purple Mansion Immortal Court, and then planned to return to Shouyang Mountain.
When passing through the East China Sea, I originally planned to stop by the Dragon Palace for a visit.
Little did they know, a once-in-ten-thousand-year upheaval was about to occur in the Dragon Palace of the East Sea.
Niu Ben went to investigate and found Qinglong, the first elder of the ancient dragon clan, in the sealed area within the formation.
After rescuing him, he went into seclusion in the Dragon Palace to refine and absorb the Primordial Golden Pill.
This back and forth has continued for thousands of years.
After a moment's thought, Niu Ben regained his composure and sighed inwardly:
"I wonder what stage Master has reached in his understanding of the Holy Path?"
Previously, when Nuwa became a saint, he had advised Taishang Daoren to go and see the human race in the prehistoric land, because perhaps the opportunity for Nuwa to become a saint lay with the human race.
However, the Supreme Taoist Master did not seem to take what he said to heart.
He felt that the human race was merely a race recently created by the saint Nuwa, and that it was extremely weak. How could he possibly entrust his chance to become a saint to such a weak race?
"Master, oh Master!"
"I already reminded you like that, if you still..."
Before Niu Ben could finish speaking, he froze, suspended in mid-air.
"This aura?"
"It's...it's Master's?"
Niu Ben exclaimed in surprise, his face full of astonishment.
Just now, he was still thinking about the matter of becoming a saint.
Before he could even think about it, he sensed the aura of the Supreme Taoist here.
"The area below seems to be the human territory designated by the sage Nuwa, right?"
"So, after I left Shouyang Mountain, my master went to the human realm?"
Thinking of this, Niu Ben was overjoyed and quickly pressed down on the cloud.
After all, this was something others might not know, but he was very clear about.
The opportunity for the Supreme Taoist to become a saint lies within the human race; it is through establishing a religion for humanity that one can achieve sainthood.
Now that the Supreme Being has come to the human race, it means that he is not far from attaining sainthood.
Soon, Niu Ben silently descended upon the human tribe below.
Looking around, one could see that the Supreme Being was explaining the Golden Elixir Path to the people of this human tribe.
"To work at sunrise and rest at sunset is to follow the natural order."
"Grains provide sustenance, and fruits provide supplementation; this is the harmony of the land's advantages."
"Respecting the elderly and caring for the young, helping each other, these are the essentials of harmony among people."
"..."
"With each breath, one subtly harmonizes with the rhythm of heaven and earth."
"Regulating your breath and maintaining stillness can lay the foundation for your physical and mental well-being."
"By transforming essence into qi, one can open up the Ren and Du meridians."
"Qi condenses into spirit, thus forming the prototype of the inner elixir."
"..."
The Supreme Lord did not directly expound on profound methods, but rather transformed the deep and mysterious Dao of the Golden Elixir into the simplest of principles.
In addition, during his explanation, he also demonstrated the breathing techniques to many human beings.
Everyone who followed along felt refreshed and invigorated.
Taishang noticed Niu Ben's appearance immediately, but he remained calm and continued explaining.
After the sermon ended, the human beings dispersed.
At this moment, only a young man remained by the Emperor's side.
Niu Ben stepped forward, sized up the young man, and immediately guessed:
"If I'm not mistaken, this person should be Xuan Du, right?"
"If I hadn't come along, he would have been the senior disciple of the three sects."
Niu Ben was no stranger to Xuandu.
Without him, Xuandu would have been the only disciple of the Supreme Lord and the earliest direct successor of his external alchemy.
He possessed exceptional comprehension and was granted the magical treasure "Eight Trigrams Purple Gold Furnace," later taking charge of the Xuandu Eight Scenery Palace!
Just as Niu Ben stepped forward, Xuan Du also looked at Niu Ben.
"Um?"
He frowned slightly and muttered to himself with suspicion:
Who is this person?
"They don't seem to be from our human tribe, do they?"
Xuandu knew all the people from the human tribes here, but Niu Ben was a complete stranger.
After hesitating for a moment, Xuan Du pursed his lips and prepared to question Niu Ben.
Little did he know, before he could even utter a word, Niu Ben had already bowed deeply to the Supreme Emperor:
"Disciple Niu Ben greets Master!"
