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

On Jin'ao Island in the East China Sea, ten thousand immortals come to pay homage.

Auspicious colors filled the sky, and all the immortals of the Jie Sect inside and outside Biyou Palace prostrated themselves in worship.

"Congratulations to Senior Brother Duobao on attaining the Primordial Dao! May you live as long as the heavens!"

The core second-generation disciples, including Jinling Shengmu, Wudang Shengmu, Guiling Shengmu, Zhao Gongming, and the Three Immortal Maidens of Sanxiao, all wore joyful expressions and trembled with excitement.

The Tongtian Sect Leader stood in front of the main hall, watching Duobao Daoist descend through the air, his smile never fading. He reached out and patted Duobao's broad shoulder heavily.

"Good! Good disciple! You haven't disgraced your master!"

"Back then, that brat Niu Ben suggested the unification of the Three Pure Ones at Zixiao Palace. Today, you've used the Sacred Crystal to prove your Dao. The fortune of our Xuanmen is now as stable as Mount Buzhou!"

Daoist Duobao respectfully bowed to the Master of Tongtian.

"Disciple Duobao expresses his deepest gratitude to Master for imparting the Dao! He also expresses his deepest gratitude to Senior Uncle for protecting the Dao!"

The images of Yuanshi Tianzun and Taiqing Shengren slowly manifested in the void.

Yuanshi Tianzun stroked his beard and laughed: "Duobao, you have proven your primordial state with myriad treasures, your foundation is solid. In the future, you should assist your senior brother Niuben and strengthen our Xuanmen."

The Sage Taiqing nodded slightly: "The Primordial Chaos is newly formed and the Daoist principles are not yet stable. Go to the Ten Thousand Mountains. Your Senior Brother Niu Ben has something for you."

Daoist Duobao's expression hardened, and he immediately bowed and replied, "I will obey the decree of my Grandmaster!"

For Niu Ben, Daoist Duobao felt only endless respect and gratitude.

If Niu Ben hadn't single-handedly killed several otherworldly Primordial beings during the Demon Realm War, seized this incomparably precious Saint Crystal, and distributed it without reservation to the Three Pure Ones of the Xuanmen, even if Duobao cultivated for another 100,000 years, he would never have been able to take a single step beyond the Primordial Realm!

Daoist Duobao bid farewell to the Three Pure Ones and his fellow disciples, then transformed into a rainbow of myriad colors, tearing through the void and heading straight towards the Ten Thousand Mountains.

A moment later.

A ripple spread through the void surrounding the Ten Thousand Mountains, revealing the figure of Daoist Duobao.

Although he is now a dignified Grand Luo Golden Immortal of Hunyuan, ranking among the most revered saints in the heavens, when he stepped onto the border of the Ten Thousand Mountains, he still took the initiative to dissipate the Hunyuan pressure around him, conceal all his precious light, and walked forward as usual.

Upon seeing Duobao, the Great Luo Golden Immortal-level leader of the Bull Clan who was guarding the mountain immediately clasped his hands in greeting: "Greetings, Senior Brother Duobao!"

Duobao politely cupped his hands in greeting: "Thank you for informing me. Duobao has come to pay his respects to my senior brother."

Before he finished speaking, Niu Ben's hearty laughter echoed from deep within the ancestral hall.

"Junior Brother Duobao, we're family, no need to be so polite! Come in quickly!"

A smile appeared on Duobao Daoist's face as he strode into the Green Ox Ancestral Hall.

The aroma of wine filled the main hall.

Niu Ba was shirtless, roasting a whole snow deer of Golden Immortal level by the stove, while Niu Mu was arranging a platter of spirit fruits beside him.

Chang Xi and Xi He sat at the table brewing innate spiritual tea, while Niu Ben leaned back in the main seat with his legs crossed, a toothpick dangling from his mouth.

"Duobao greets Senior Brother! Greetings to Uncle Niu and Aunt Niu!"

Duobao quickly stepped forward and bowed deeply in greeting.

Niu Ba quickly put down his barbecue fork, grabbed Duo Bao's arm, and started shouting.

"Oh dear! No, no! You're a saint now, you can't bow so deeply to this old man anymore!"

Duobao said sincerely, "Uncle is too kind. Without the guidance of my eldest brother, I would not have the good fortune I have today. In front of you and Aunt, I will always be a junior."

These words pleased Niu Ba greatly. He patted Duo Bao on the shoulder and praised him, "Sensible! This chubby boy has been sensible since he was little!"

Niu Ben stood up from his chair, walked over to Duo Bao, looked him over, and patted Duo Bao's firm belly twice.

"Indeed, the Myriad Treasures Dao Embryo has been completely solidified, and its laws are not weak at all. It is many times stronger than that scruffy bird, Donghuang Taiyi."

Duobao gave a wry smile: "Senior brother, please stop teasing me. I might be confident in fighting Taiyi, but in front of you, my skills are so limited that I probably couldn't even withstand a slap."

Niu Ben laughed heartily, casually pulled out a scroll of illustrations radiating chaotic energy and a piece of pitch-black iron crystal from his sleeve, and tossed them into Duobao's arms.

Duobao took it and his eyes widened in shock. He exclaimed, "This...this is the essence of Chaos Divine Iron, and the refining scroll of the innate treasure, the Treasure Dividing Cliff?!"

Niu Ben casually said, "This is a little gadget I casually picked up in the Demon Realm back then. It's just a table leg for me. You cultivate the Path of Many Treasures, so take it and integrate it into your Pagoda of Many Treasures. Maybe it can push your natal magic weapon to the threshold of a supreme innate treasure."

Daoist Duobao held the two priceless treasures, his hands trembling slightly.

The foundation of a supreme innate treasure!

In the entire primordial world, even saints would regard this supreme treasure as their lifeblood, but Niu Ben just casually gave it to him like throwing away rotten cabbage!

Duobao took a deep breath, stepped back, and bowed deeply to Niu Ben once again.

"My senior brother's kindness is immeasurable, even if I were to die a thousand deaths!"

Niu Ben grabbed him and pulled him up, laughing and scolding him in an annoyed tone, "Alright, alright, stop with the nonsense and sit down to drink!"

"Dad's roasted venison is just ready! We're not allowed to go back to Jin'ao Island until we're all drunk!"

A burst of joyful laughter erupted in the main hall.

The group sat together, eating meat and drinking wine heartily, their joyful laughter echoing across the Ten Thousand Mountains.

After several rounds of drinks, Niu Ben carried his wine bowl to the stone steps outside the hall.

He gazed up at the vast sky, his eyes as deep as the endless starry heavens.

In the present primordial world, Zhu Jiuyin represents the Wu tribe's path to sainthood, Duobao represents the Xuanmen's path to sainthood, and Ksitigarbha of the Western Sect is also struggling to break through the barrier.

The reshuffling of power among various factions has reached a fever pitch, and an unprecedented era of great contention with numerous sages vying for supremacy is about to begin.

Niu Ben drank the strong liquor in his bowl, then casually threw the bowl on the ground and smashed it to pieces.

He slowly raised his right hand, and the phantom of the world-destroying millstone in his palm quietly rotated, causing the stars in the sky to tremble slightly.

"So what if many heroes rise up?"

"In this vast and boundless world, only I have the final say!"

Niu Ben muttered to himself, a domineering smile that seemed to look down on all the heavens appearing on his lips, before turning and striding back into the main hall.
