Chapter 486 Refusal! A Bully Appears Out of the Way!
Upon hearing what Niu Ben said, all the disciples of the three religions present were taken aback.
To everyone's surprise, Niu Ben was not interested in the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors who educated the human race.
"What's going on?"
"The eldest brother actually refused?"
"This act of teaching and guiding will surely bring many benefits, so why did my senior brother refuse?"
"Does he just want to take all the credit?"
"That must be it!"
"..."
The disciples of the three religions whispered among themselves, feeling that Niu Ben was too selfless, always thinking of the three religions.
"Oh?"
The Supreme Sage was surprised to see Niu Ben refuse.
At the same time, a hint of surprise flashed across the eyes of Yuanshi and Tongtian, who were standing to the side.
Niu Ben paid no attention to the surrounding discussions, and smiled faintly:
"Master."
"I have now reached a critical point in my cultivation and must focus on myself, without having time to be distracted by anything else."
"Besides..."
At this point, Niu Ben paused, then added:
"This merit from Heaven is of little use to me."
"Let's leave it to our fellow disciples!"
Niu Ben's words shocked the disciples of the three religions present.
But they soon realized what was going on.
Niu Ben is now a Primordial Saint.
For him, the merit of educating the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors was indeed nothing.
In addition, the disciples of the three religions also admired Niu Ben for giving up this teaching spot.
After listening to what Niu Ben said, the Three Pure Ones were stunned for a moment, and then they all realized what was going on.
"I had forgotten."
"This kid achieved the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm in the underworld through his own strength!"
"He's not a Heavenly Saint!"
The Sage of Heaven sighed inwardly.
I remembered that Niu Ben was different from the Three Pure Ones; they were Heavenly Saints, while Niu Ben was not.
For this reason, the merits bestowed by Heaven are extremely important to the Three Pure Ones.
However, if placed before a Primordial Being like Niu Ben, the merits rewarded by Heaven are indeed of little use.
If Tongtian could understand these things, then the Supreme Sage and the Primordial Heavenly Venerable could naturally understand them as well.
After a slight pause, the Supreme Sage nodded and said:
"In that case, my disciple, you should focus on your own cultivation!"
Upon hearing what the Supreme Elder said, Niu Ben smiled faintly and bowed to him.
Then, the Supreme Sage swept his gaze across the disciples of the three religions once more, and said:
"The teaching quotas of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors of the human race cannot all be given to one religion."
"Therefore, we temporarily selected one person from among the people of the three religions."
"Xuan Du of the Human Sect, Guang Chengzi of the Chan Sect, and Duobao Daoren of the Jie Sect."
"The three of you are all exceptionally talented individuals among the three religions; therefore, each of you will be given one teaching position!"
As the Supreme Sage spoke, Xuandu, Guangchengzi, and Duobao were overjoyed and bowed deeply in unison.
"Thank you for your kindness, Master!"
"Thank you so much, Senior Master!"
Seeing this, the other disciples of the three religions had no objections.
Subsequently, the Three Pure Ones dismissed the disciples of the three religions, allowing them to return to their respective cultivation practices.
As for Xuandu, Guangchengzi, and Duobao, it is not yet time for them to descend the mountain to teach and enlighten others.
After all, the responsibility of teaching and educating Fuxi, the Heavenly Emperor among the Three Sovereigns, did not belong to the Three Teachings; Heaven appointed him to the Sage Nuwa!
At present, Fuxi of the human race has just been born.
The three religions (Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism) could only educate the other three sovereigns and five emperors after Fuxi truly attained enlightenment.
After paying his respects to the Three Pure Ones, Niu Ben did not linger on Penglai Island and immediately set off.
However, what he did not expect was...
Before he even returned to the Netherworld, a figure blocked Niu Ben's path.
"Father?"
Upon seeing Niu Ba blocking the way in front of him, Niu Ben was taken aback, looking somewhat bewildered.
"Ben'er!"
Niu Ba stepped forward excitedly, but before he could say anything, Niu Ben had already asked:
"Father, what are you doing here? And why are you blocking my way?"
Upon hearing Niu Benyan's question, Niu Ba smiled and said:
"son!"
"Finally, I've caught you! Your father needs to speak with you!"
Niu Ben was taken aback, feeling a mix of amusement and exasperation.
She wondered if her father had some other intention in coming to see her at this time.
After all, Niu Ba had previously succeeded in becoming a saint by refining the Saint Crystal he had given him.
It was precisely because of this that Niu Ba also developed ambitions, thinking of joining forces with his son Niu Ben to compete for the title of the ruler of the prehistoric world.
But in the end, he was persuaded by Niu Ben's earnest and heartfelt advice.
"What is it?"
After a slight pause, Niu Ben came to his senses.
Niu Ba chuckled and rubbed his hands together, saying:
"Kid."
"I have received divine revelation regarding the affairs of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors of the human race!"
"When you returned to Penglai, did you discuss the matter of educating the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors of the human race?"
Upon hearing what Niu Ba said, Niu Ben's brows furrowed even more deeply, and he then spoke:
"Father."
"What exactly are you trying to say?"
Upon hearing this, Niu Ba took a deep breath before speaking:
"Actually, I wasn't thinking about anything."
"I was just thinking, Ben'er, could you possibly secure a spot among the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors for our Bull Clan?"
Upon hearing Niu Ba's words, Niu Ben was taken aback, and gave a bitter smile, saying:
"Father."
"The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors were matters of the human race itself, concerning the inheritance of human destiny, ordained by Heaven and guided by the teachings of sages..."
Before Niu Ben could finish speaking, Niu Ba interrupted him:
"I know, I know!"
"The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors were ordained by Heaven."
"What I mean is not to make the Bull Clan give birth to any Three Sovereigns or Five Emperors."
"Instead, let the Bull Clan be given a spot to educate the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors."
"If you, son, were to approach the Three Pure Ones about this, it shouldn't be a problem, right?"
After listening to what Niu Ba said, Niu Ben's expression became very serious.
After all, when they were in Penglai, the Three Pure Ones had already selected the candidates to educate the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors of the human race, namely Xuandu, Guangchengzi, and Duobao.
At that time, the Supreme Sage also asked him if he was willing to come here, but Niu Ben refused.
Now, Niu Ba suddenly approached him, wanting to ask for a place in the Three Religions to educate the Niu Clan, which put Niu Ben in a difficult position.
Seeing Niu Ben's expression, Niu Ba frowned slightly and said:
"What's wrong?"
"I'm a saint, after all!"
"Isn't this worthy of the teachings of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors?"
"Isn't educating humanity about teaching them virtue, character, and reason?"
"Don't you understand these things, Father?"
"Besides, all I'm doing is trying to do good for my cow clan!"
At this point, Niu Ba took a deep breath, then looked at Niu Ben with a solemn expression, and continued:
"Just tell me, can you do this or not?"
