Chapter 638 You dare to bully my disciple on my turf?
Deep within the holy land.
Niu Ben sat on the stone platform, watching Huang Tian approach.
Huang Tian approached and, without any hesitation, bowed in respect.
"Master."
This ceremony is different from the ceremony performed when meeting Taishang or Nuwa.
There was no distance or formality between sages.
More than anything, it reflects the solemnity of a disciple meeting his master.
Niu Ben glanced at him.
"sit."
The Emperor did not sit.
Niu Ben raised an eyebrow.
"What's wrong?"
"Now that you've become the Human Emperor, you don't even listen to your teacher anymore?"
Huang Tian then sat down.
Niu Ben waved his hand, and another cup of spiritual tea landed in front of Huang Tian.
"drink."
Huang Tian picked up the teacup, but did not drink it immediately.
Niu Ben said, "We've passed the Emperor's place."
Heaven nodded.
"The Supreme Sage will relinquish the imprint of the Humanist Teachings and promise to make a move once on the day he becomes a saint."
Niu Ben then added, "We've also passed by Nuwa's place."
Huang Tiandao said, "Since the Sage Nuwa has returned the cause and effect of creating humankind, she has also agreed to help once."
Niu Ben looked at him.
"Then why did you come to see your teacher?"
This question was asked very casually.
But Huang Tian's heart sank.
He knew that his master was not unaware of this.
He just has to say it himself.
Niu Ben continued, "The Primordial Purple Qi, I have already given it to you."
"You've taken back the fate of humanity too."
"Taishang and Nuwa are also willing to help."
"Logically speaking, you should return to the ancestral land of humanity now and prepare to establish your Dao."
"How did we end up talking about the Bull Clan?"
Emperor Tian put down his teacup.
He stood up and bowed to Niu Ben again.
"This disciple wishes to ask Master to help the human race once."
Niu Ben did not answer immediately.
Within the sacred ground, the wind subsided somewhat.
The surrounding powerful members of the Bull Clan also lowered their heads, not daring to look any longer.
Niu Ben looked up.
"The Helper Clan, or Helping You?"
Huang Tiandao said, "Help the human race."
"It is also to help the disciples."
Niu Ben's lips twitched slightly.
That's a straightforward statement.
Huang Tian said in a deep voice, "This disciple dares not falter before Master."
Niu Ben picked up his teacup.
Tell me about it.
Huang Tiandao said, "This disciple wishes to use the Primordial Purple Qi as a foundation, but will not entrust his primordial spirit to the Heavenly Dao."
"We must borrow the fortune of humanity to establish a holy position for humanity."
"Once this begins, the will of Heaven will surely descend."
"Although the Supreme Sage and the Sage Nuwa have agreed to help once, I am still worried."
Niu Ben asked, "What are you worried about?"
The heavens look up.
"I have worried about the power of Heaven more than once."
"I am worried that the remnants of the Western demon race, and even many powerful beings from the primordial world, may take this opportunity to cause trouble."
"I am worried that the human race's fortune has just reached its peak, and before it has truly established its path, it will be torn open by external forces."
"I am even more worried that if my disciple fails, the human race will suffer a backlash from the Heavenly Dao."
He didn't say these things so directly in front of Laozi and Nuwa.
Because he was a saint.
But Niu Ben is the master.
In front of his master, he didn't need to hide all his worries too deeply.
Niu Ben listened quietly until the end.
Then he said, "Are you scared?"
The heavens fell silent for a moment.
"Afraid."
The surrounding powerful members of the Bull Clan were shaken.
They never expected that Huang Tian would admit it so readily.
Niu Ben's expression remained unchanged.
"Afraid you'll still leave?"
Huang Tiandao said, "Fear is not the same as retreat."
"I fear failure, I fear the calamity that will befall humanity, and I fear failing the sages of humanity."
"But I fear even more that the human race, which already has a chance, will be forever locked outside the Heavenly Dao because I dare not leave."
Niu Ben looked up at the heavens.
At this moment, a hint of satisfaction finally appeared in his eyes.
He was not afraid, but his disciples were.
It's normal to be afraid.
To say you're not afraid of anything when facing the will of Heaven isn't courage, it's stupidity.
True courage is knowing you're afraid, yet still moving forward.
Niu Ben put down his teacup.
"Both Laozi and Nuwa have agreed, but you still think it's not enough?"
Heaven did not deny it.
"This disciple wishes to seek a more secure opportunity."
Niu Ben said, "You're quite impolite."
Heaven bows its head.
"This matter concerns the entire human race."
"This disciple has no choice but to shamelessly beg."
Niu Ben said calmly, "You come to me for help, aren't you afraid I'll refuse?"
Huang Tian said, "I'm afraid."
Niu Ben asked, "What if I refuse, Master?"
The heavens look up.
"I will return to the ancestral land of humanity to continue my path."
"It just means we'll be one step less confident."
Niu Ben chuckled.
"One point less?"
"You're being quite polite to your teacher with those words."
The heavens remained silent.
Niu Ben looked at him and suddenly asked, "What do you think I would face if I were to intervene?"
Huang Tiandao said, "The power of the Heavenly Way."
Niu Ben asked, "Anything else?"
Huang Tiandao said, "The gazes of all the sages."
Niu Ben continued, "Anything else?"
Huang Tian remained silent for a moment.
"There's also the backlash from the primordial order."
Niu Ben nodded.
"It's good that you know."
"If I were only trying to protect you, things would be simple."
"Whoever dares to touch you, I will beat them up."
"But now you must establish humanity."
"This is not something that can be resolved by defeating one or two powerful beings."
"What you're trying to change is the established order of Heaven."
"You must help humanity rise from the chessboard."
"No one can take the blame for you in this matter."
Huang Tian said, "This disciple understands."
Niu Ben's eyes darkened slightly.
"You don't understand."
Huang Tian was taken aback.
Niu Ben said, "What you're thinking now is that the Supreme Being will make a move once, Nuwa will make a move once, and then I will make a move once more."
"In this way, we can block the way of Heaven and establish the way of humanity."
"But have you ever thought about it?"
"If three powerful beings protect you on your path to enlightenment, won't humanity be accused of relying on a sage for its existence?"
Huang Tian was startled.
These words struck like a heavy hammer blow.
He had indeed considered the pressure from Heaven.
I considered external interference.
However, this issue was not prioritized.
For humanity to uphold human ethics, the most important thing is for ourselves to stand up.
If all the crucial points are blocked by outsiders for him, the legitimacy of humanity's establishment of the Way will be weakened.
Niu Ben looked at him.
"You must seek stability for the human race."
"That's right."
"But you can't keep begging until you break the backbone of humanity itself."
Heaven bows its head.
"This disciple has learned much."
Niu Ben waved his hand.
"Don't be in such a hurry to be taught."
"I haven't said whether I agree or not yet."
Looking up at the sky, my mind tensed up once again.
Niu Ben looked into the distance.
That is the direction of the ancestral land of the human race.
"Humanity has had a difficult journey."
"From being oppressed by all races to now bearing the weight of the primordial world."
"You, Emperor, haven't disgraced your master."
Huang Tian said in a deep voice, "This disciple dares not take credit."
Niu Ben said, "We should stay where we are."
"Excessive modesty is also a form of hypocrisy."
The surrounding powerful members of the Bull Clan twitched.
Only the patriarch would teach his disciples this way.
Huang Tian nodded seriously.
"Yes."
Niu Ben suddenly laughed.
"Your temperament is still too tense."
"Being a human emperor requires stability, but don't let yourself become like a block of wood."
Huang Tian's expression shifted slightly.
If someone else had said this, he might not have reacted.
But Niu Ben's words warmed his heart.
Niu Ben stood up.
At that moment, the aura of the sacred land suddenly plummeted.
Amidst the mountains, countless members of the Niu clan simultaneously sensed the change in their ancestor's aura and looked up.
Niu Ben did not agree immediately.
He simply walked to the edge of the stone platform and looked up at the primordial sky.
A faint divine might was already descending from the heavens.
That's not directed at the Bull Clan.
It arose from the will of Heaven.
Niu Ben raised an eyebrow slightly as he looked at that wisp of divine might.
"They're keeping a close eye on them."
Huang Tian stood behind him without saying a word.
Niu Ben raised his hand.
It was just a casual wave.
boom!
The invisible divine might above the holy land was wiped out on the spot by him.
The minds of all beings in the primordial world were shaken.
Niu Ben said calmly, "You dare to suppress my disciple on my turf?"
"Who gave you this habit?"
