Chapter 605 This ruthlessness is like that of our Bull Clan.
Time passed little by little.
Since Yang Jian became Niu Ben's disciple, a figure who never stops working has appeared in that blessed land in the Ten Thousand Mountains.
At dawn, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is at its purest.
Yang Jian then carried the heavy load and raced around the blessed land's mountains and rivers.
The object he carried was not an ordinary rock, but a small mountain that Niu Ben had casually crafted.
It looked no bigger than the palm of his hand, but when it landed on Yang Jian's shoulder, it felt as heavy as a thousand pounds.
At first, Yang Jian only took a few dozen steps before his legs began to tremble and he was drenched in sweat.
But he never complained.
He never begged for mercy.
Whenever he could no longer hold on, the image of Yao Ji being taken away by heavenly soldiers and generals would appear in his mind.
That scene was etched deep into his mind like a knife carving.
"My mother is still suffering in Heaven."
"If I can't even endure this little hardship, how can I possibly save her?"
Yang Jian gritted his teeth, forcing himself to move forward step by step.
Many of the younger generation of the Niu tribe were initially puzzled when they saw this.
In their view, Yang Jian was Niu Ben's personally taught disciple and held a noble status.
If you want to cultivate, all you need is a constant supply of spiritual fruits and immortal wine, along with the teachings of Taoist magic and supernatural powers. Why torture yourself like this?
But hundreds of years later, when the creatures of the Bull Clan looked at Yang Jian again, their eyes had changed.
What started as incomprehension turned into respect.
Because they discovered that this seemingly weak human boy possessed a far more resilient character than they had imagined.
Even though the weight of the mountain made their bones creak.
Even if one's magical power is exhausted and one's primordial spirit is weary.
Yang Jian never slacked off for a single day.
At noon, he studied the Taoist scriptures.
What Niu Ben taught him was neither the Yuqing Method nor the complete lineage of Taiqing and Shangqing.
Rather, it is the fundamental method that Niu Ben himself deduced based on the methods of the Three Pure Ones, the principles of reincarnation in the underworld, and the Primordial Chaos Dao.
This method is not limited to one school of thought.
It emphasizes the foundation, the mind and character, and also the physical body.
When Yang Jian first heard it, he felt it was infinitely mysterious.
Only after cultivating for thousands of years did he truly grasp how terrifying it was.
This method seems to have been tailor-made for him.
It can temper the physical body and condense the primordial spirit.
It can also gradually draw out the third eye deep within his brow that is not yet fully open.
As evening fell, Yang Jian sat cross-legged on the edge of the cliff.
In the distance, clouds surge and waterfalls cascade.
A faint golden line appeared between his eyebrows.
The golden patterns flickered in and out, as if concealing a mysterious world.
This day.
As Yang Jian channeled his magic power to a crucial point, a sharp pain suddenly shot through his brow.
"Um?"
He groaned and his hands clenched involuntarily.
The next moment, a crack slowly appeared on the golden mark between his eyebrows.
A ray of golden light shone through it.
boom!
Yang Jian felt as if the world before him had suddenly changed.
Mountains and rivers are no longer just mountains and rivers.
Plants are no longer just plants.
In his perception, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth had a direction, and the vital energy of all things had a network.
He even managed to detect some traces of the magical energy circulating within the body of a distant bull-kin instructor.
"This... is my third eye?"
Yang Jian was deeply shaken.
But before he could even feel his joy, a violent force suddenly surged back from his inner eye.
Yang Jian's face turned pale, and his body swayed violently.
"Keep your mind focused."
A faint voice came from behind.
Niu Ben appeared at the edge of the cliff at some unknown time.
He raised his hand and pointed, a wisp of primordial magic power landing on Yang Jian's brow.
The previously raging power of the Heavenly Eye was suddenly suppressed as if by an invisible hand, gradually returning to calm.
Yang Jian was panting heavily.
After a long while, he stood up and bowed, saying, "Thank you, Master."
Niu Ben stood with his hands behind his back, his expression calm.
"The third eye is a gift you were born with."
"But the greater the power, the less you should rush to control it."
"Otherwise, you won't be in control of it; instead, it will devour you."
Upon hearing this, Yang Jian nodded solemnly.
"This disciple has remembered."
Niu Ben glanced at Yang Jian, a look of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.
Tens of thousands of years is but a snap of the fingers for the great beings of the primordial era.
But for Yang Jian, it was a complete transformation.
He is no longer the helpless boy he was at the mouth of the Guanjiang River.
Its physical body is tough, its primordial spirit is refined, and its magical power is profound.
Even among disciples of the three religions and three generations, he would definitely be considered outstanding.
More importantly, Yang Jian's obsession remained.
To save his mother.
Looking for relatives.
These two things sustained him through the long years.
However, under Niu Ben's guidance, this obsession did not turn into an extreme obsession.
Instead, it was honed into a blade with concealed edge.
It is not noticeable on ordinary days.
Once unsheathed, its sharpness will surely be astonishing.
"Master."
Yang Jian hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help asking, "With my current cultivation level, how far am I from rescuing my mother?"
Niu Ben smiled faintly.
"If all you want to do is storm the Heavenly Court and overthrow a few heavenly generals, that's enough."
"But if we want to truly rescue Yao Ji and prevent the Heavenly Court from touching her again, we are still far from being able to do so."
Hearing this, Yang Jian was not disappointed.
On the contrary, his eyes were filled with even stronger fighting spirit.
"Disciple understands."
"This disciple will continue to cultivate."
Niu Ben nodded slightly.
"On the path of spiritual practice, one should not be afraid of progressing slowly."
What I fear is not being able to see where I'm going.
Yang Jian said in a deep voice, "This disciple is going to the Heavenly Court."
Niu Ben looked at him, smiled, and said nothing more.
Just then, Niu Ba strode over from a distance.
He was tall and imposing, with a powerful aura.
Under his leadership, the cattle tribe has flourished over the years.
Especially with the numerous resources left behind by Niu Ben, powerful figures are constantly emerging among the younger generation of the clan.
"Ben'er".
Niu Ba approached and first looked at Yang Jian, his eyes revealing admiration.
"This kid is not bad."
"That fierceness is just like our cattle tribe."
Yang Jian quickly bowed and said, "Greetings, Grandmaster."
Niu Ba waved his hand and laughed, "No need to be so polite."
"Having stayed in the Bull Clan for so long, I consider myself half a family member."
As he spoke, he turned to look at Niu Ben.
"The wilderness has been quite unsettled lately."
"All the forces are making moves in the shadows. The Heavenly Court, the West, the Demon Clan, and the Witch Clan all seem to be holding back their ambitions."
Niu Ben remained calm.
"When the great calamity is approaching, no one can truly find peace."
Niu Ba nodded.
"Too."
"However, I always felt that there was something wrong with the obscurity of these heavenly secrets."
"It's like something's about to pop out."
Niu Ben's eyes flickered slightly.
At his level, he naturally had some kind of perception.
Over the years, the primordial world seemed to be at peace.
Beneath the calm surface, however, lies an extremely subtle undercurrent.
It seems that the will of Heaven is brewing something.
It also seems that beyond the Great Dao, some kind of variable is about to fall into the primordial chaos.
Niu Ben did not rush to make the deductions.
Because the more important the matter, the less one should investigate it casually.
Sometimes, seeing things too early can disturb the cause and effect.
"Let's wait and see."
Niu Ben said calmly.
Upon hearing this, Niu Ba did not ask any further questions.
He knew very well that his son's current level was far beyond that of an ordinary saint.
Since Niu Ben said to wait and see, then we have our own confidence.
Time continues to flow by.
Yang Jian continued his arduous cultivation every day.
The cattle tribe continues to grow steadily.
All factions in the primordial world were secretly accumulating power under the shadow of the Great Calamity.
Tens of thousands of years have passed.
