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

Chapter 302 Accepting Cangjie as a Disciple, Revealing Heavenly Secrets!

Beyond the heavens, in the palace of Nuwa.

"Um?"

Nuwa frowned slightly, noticing Niu Ben's unusual behavior.

"Why is Niu Ben leading a human being on a journey through the human world?"

Nuwa exclaimed in surprise.

I can't understand it. Niu Ben has only been the ruler of the underworld for a short time.

Logically, he should be presiding over the underworld, but instead, he is traveling among human tribes with a human boy.

After a moment's thought, Nuwa came to her senses and continued to watch over Niu Ben.

At this moment, Niu Ben, who was traveling with Cangjie, also realized that many divine senses were spying on him in the dark.

However, he didn't pay any attention and continued to travel among the human race with Cangjie.

Time flies like an arrow; before we knew it, ten years had passed.

During this time, Niu Ben led Cang Jie across thousands of mountains and rivers, witnessing the diverse lives of people in various tribes.

On this day, the two came to the banks of a rushing river.

Looking around, the river flows swiftly, crashing against the rocks on the bank, producing an eternal roar.

Niu Ben stopped and stood by the riverbank with his hands behind his back, gazing intently into the distance.

Seeing this, Cangjie also stopped.

Cangjie has now grown from the clever and naive boy he once was into a calm and composed young man.

His eyes, in particular, were filled with even more wisdom.

Although Cangjie has not cultivated himself over the years, a strange aura still emanates from his body.

This energy is a kind of spiritual energy that is extremely sensitive to the forms of all things.

After a moment of silence, Niu Ben turned his gaze to Cangjie standing beside him and asked:

"Cangjie".

"You've traveled with me for so many years, observing the contours of mountains, examining the tracks of birds and beasts, listening to the sounds of wind and rain, and experiencing the myriad aspects of people's lives... Have you come to any understanding?"

Cangjie was slightly taken aback when he heard Niu Ben's question.

Immediately afterwards, he bowed respectfully to Niu Ben and replied:

"Teacher, your disciple... has indeed gained some insight."

Although Niu Ben has not yet accepted Cang Jie as his disciple.

But in Cangjie's heart, he had long regarded Niu Ben as his teacher.

Over the years, whenever he had doubts, Niu Ben would patiently answer them for him.

"Oh?"

A glint flashed in Niu Ben's eyes, and he smiled, saying:

Tell me about it.

Cangjie nodded slightly and said:

"Under the guidance of my teacher, I have traveled to countless places."

"One can perceive that all things in the universe have their own form, traces, and principles."

"Whenever I think of these things, it is as if countless lines and shapes are interwoven in my mind, trying to depict everything in this world."

"only……"

At this point, Cangjie paused slightly, then added with a hint of distress:

"Whenever I want to take that step, I always feel like there's a thin mist between us, making it hard to grasp that crucial point."

Niu Ben nodded slightly, not surprised by Cangjie's confusion.

He knew very well that he was only one step away from being able to break through the final barrier that led to Cangjie's invention of characters.

After a brief silence, Niu Ben suddenly asked:

"Cangjie".

Do you know who I am?

As soon as Niu Ben uttered these words, Cangjie was stunned and somewhat stumped.

After leaving the human tribe with Niu Ben, he never asked about Niu Ben's identity, only knowing that Niu Ben was an immortal.

After a moment of stunned silence, Cangjie scratched his head awkwardly and said:

"teacher."

"This disciple...does not know."

Niu Ben was not surprised by this. After a faint smile, he said:

My name is Niu Ben.

"He is the chief disciple of the Three Pure Ones, and the senior brother of the Three Religions!"

Upon hearing Niu Ben announce his name, Cangjie was completely stunned.

"Wh...what?"

"Bullfighting?"

"The Imperial Tutor?"

"The chief disciple of the Three Pure Ones!"

Cangjie stood there, stunned, his head buzzing, his mind reeling, unable to calm down for a long time.

Simply put, Niu Ben is too famous.

Throughout the entire primordial world, it can be said that everyone knows him.

Not only is he the chief disciple of the Three Pure Ones and the senior disciple of the Three Teachings, but even among the human race, Niu Ben's name is renowned.

After all, he was the teacher of the human emperor Huang Tian.

In addition, he was the founder of human martial arts.

What Cangjie never expected was...

All these years, the one who has been taking me on my journey among the humans is actually this kind of being!

Seeing Cangjie's expression, Niu Ben smiled slightly and said:

"What's wrong?"

"Surprised?"

Upon hearing this, Cangjie swallowed hard, suppressing the shock in his heart, and replied:

"It was more than just an accident?"

"Teacher, your reputation resounds throughout the entire primordial world!"

"The chief disciple of the Three Pure Ones, the teacher of the Human Emperor, and the foremost person below the Sage!"

As he spoke, Cangjie couldn't help but want to worship Niu Ben.

Niu Ben remained calm and said indifferently:

"When we first met, you begged me to take you as my apprentice."

"Over the years, I have witnessed your talent and hard work."

"Today I will formally accept you as my disciple, making you my third personal disciple."

Upon hearing this, Cangjie was greatly shaken, his eyes filled with ecstatic joy.

Although he always addressed Niu Ben as "teacher," Niu Ben never formally accepted him as a disciple.

Now that he has learned Niu Ben's true identity, Cang Jie realizes how ridiculous it was that he thought of becoming Niu Ben's apprentice as soon as he met him!

Niu Ben was the teacher of the Human Emperor and the chief disciple of the Three Pure Ones!

How could someone of such status and position possibly be persuaded to become a disciple based on just a few words from him?

After being stunned for a while, Cangjie finally came back to his senses.

Immediately suppressing his excitement, he quickly bowed down to Niu Ben:

"Disciple Cangjie greets Master! I kowtow in gratitude for Master's acceptance of my teachings!"

As he spoke, Cangjie kowtowed.

He knew very well that it was an immense opportunity for him to become Niu Ben's disciple, like ascending to heaven in one step!

Seeing this, Niu Ben smiled calmly and accepted Cangjie's apprenticeship ceremony, thus formally establishing their master-disciple relationship.

Get up!

"Yes, Master!"

Cangjie exclaimed with delight and quickly stood up from the ground.

Then, Niu Ben turned his gaze and looked at the rolling river again.

After gazing intently, he said in a solemn tone:

"Cangjie".

"Now that you have joined my school, you should understand your mission."

"These ten years of travel have clearly shown that although humans possess wisdom, they suffer from an inability to effectively record and pass it on."

"Each tribe has its own method of recording events, different knots in their ropes, and different shapes of carvings."

"If this continues, wisdom will be difficult to accumulate, experience will be easily lost, how can civilization continue? How can a people thrive?"

Upon hearing Niu Ben utter these words, Cangjie, who was standing nearby, was immediately shaken.

Indeed, every word Niu Ben said struck his heart like a resounding bell.

In addition, what surprised Cangjie was that the layer of mist that had always blocked his way seemed to dissipate with Niu Ben's words.
