Chapter 3 The True Identity of the Old Ox
The old ox’s identity was extraordinary—it was none other than Kui Niu, the mount of the Sage Tongtian!
After the calamity of the Lich Tribulation, the Dao Ancestor Hongjun gathered the Sages to discuss the selection of the new Heavenly Emperor. The Three Pure Ones and the two Western Sages each nominated their disciples, hoping to secure dominance over the Great Desolation. Unexpectedly, the position was taken by Haotian and Yaochi, who essentially got it by luck. As a result, the Sages harbored resentnt towards Haotian.
After Haotian ascended as the new Heavenly Emperor, he issued nurous celestial laws to restrain the disciples of the Sages, further aggravating their dissatisfaction. Thus, under the scheming of the two Western Sages, Haotian’s younger sister, Yaoji, descended to the mortal realm and married the human Yang Tianyou, giving birth to two sons and a daughter.
This incident severely tarnished Haotian’s prestige and that of the Heavenly Court, forcing him to personally suppress his sister Yaoji to restore the court’s dignity. Witnessing Haotian’s increasingly stringent celestial laws, the Tongtian Cult Leader wanted to see him humiliated.
Sensing his master’s intentions, Kui Niu volunteered to orchestrate a sche against the Heavenly Court, setting his sights on Haotian and Yaochi’s most beloved adopted daughter—Zhinü.
Therefore, the Cowherd was able to marry Zhinü so smoothly, and why the Heavenly Emperor and the Queen Mother, despite knowing they had been tricked, dared not pursue the mastermind. After all, Kui Niu was the mount of a Sage—he represented the face of a Sage!
Even as the Heavenly Emperor and Queen Mother, Haotian and Yaochi dared not challenge him.
“This Su Chen… If he only wanted one wife, I could have made it happen. But taking all seven princesses of the Heavenly Court? That’s asking too much of !”
Kui Niu truly wanted to help Su Chen marry all seven celestial princesses. If that happened, Haotian and the Heavenly Court would suffer an even greater humiliation than before. However, Kui Niu also understood that if he pushed things too far, it would an completely severing relations between the Heavenly Court and the Jie Sect.
After all, Haotian was the Heavenly Emperor of the Great Desolation, personally appointed by the Dao Ancestor Hongjun. If he was repeatedly humiliated, even the most patient person would snap.
Not to ntion, if all seven of his adopted daughters were taken by one man, he would have no choice but to plead to the Dao Ancestor in the Purple Heaven Palace for justice. If that happened, even the Tongtian Cult Leader might face rebuke, and Kui Niu himself would have created an enormous disaster!
“Sigh!”
“It seems this sche must be abandoned…”
Kui Niu let out a sigh, then activated his divine powers, instantly sweeping Su Chen away from the Silver River Pool and back to his ho on Funiu Mountain.
The seven fairy maidens watched as Su Chen suddenly disappeared along with their clothes. Relieved yet deeply humiliated, they experienced mixed emotions. They were relieved because their celestial garnts had been returned, freeing them from Su Chen’s control.
But they were humiliated because their reputations had been ruined. From now on, who else could they marry but Su Chen?
“Sisters, we must never speak of what happened today. We must keep this secret at all costs. One day, when we beco stronger, we will hunt down that scoundrel and reclaim our dignity!”
“Big sister is right!”
“We’ll do as big sister says!”
With the eldest sister’s firm declaration, the fairy maidens slowly cald down. Their initial sha and helplessness faded. Deep down, they understood—Su Chen had managed to steal their clothes without them even noticing. His strength was far beyond theirs. Dreaming of revenge was laughable!
Moreover, they only rembered his appearance—they didn’t even know his na. Where could they possibly find him to take back their honor?
______
“Su Chen, you’re incredibly bold! You actually wanted to take all seven fairy maidens for yourself!”
Kui Niu was sowhat frustrated that his sche had failed, but he admired Su Chen even more. After all, the Jie Sect’s philosophy was about seizing the last sliver of opportunity within the Dao.
How could soone without courage achieve that?
“Old friend, are you really an immortal?”
Hearing the dissatisfaction in Kui Niu’s voice, Su Chen didn’t take it to heart. Instead, he saw an opportunity—to learn cultivation from Kui Niu!
Right now, even though he had received a drop of Pangu’s heart blood as a system reward, his future potential was limitless. However, he had no cultivation techniques at all!
Without a proper thod, how could he refine Pangu’s heart blood? Becoming an immortal would be nothing more than a dream!
Whoosh!
Kui Niu looked at Su Chen deeply. He knew that his recent actions had already given Su Chen so clues.
“Su Chen, I am indeed an immortal. Do you wish to cultivate?”
“I do!”
Su Chen nodded resolutely.
Boom!
In the next mont, Kui Niu transford into a tall, muscular man with a dark complexion. Two ox horns remained on his head, signifying his true identity.
“Su Chen, I’ve watched you grow up. Since you wish to cultivate, I will naturally help you. But if you wish to learn the core techniques I possess, you must gain my master’s approval!”
Over the years, Su Chen and Kui Niu had lived together and ford a deep bond. Since Su Chen was technically his master, Kui Niu was willing to help him wholeheartedly.
“I am Kui Niu, the mount of the Sage Tongtian. If you wish to cultivate, I can take you to Jin’ao Island.
I can even teach you so basic cultivation techniques.
However, if you wish to progress further, it will depend on your own fate!”
Hearing Kui Niu reveal his identity, Su Chen suddenly understood everything.
He had long known that Kui Niu was no ordinary creature. But he never imagined it was actually the mount of the Tongtian Cult Leader—the legendary Kui Niu!
