I'm a body cultivator, so it's normal for me to destroy a star with one punch, right?

It is not normal for an ordinary old ox to become a powerful demon at the "Celestial Phenomenon Realm" level within a few decades after the revival of spiritual energy.

For example, the "Celestial Realm" of Helan Mountain is a Silver-Winged Flying Wolf, a mutated type of demonic beast.

To put it bluntly, their ancestors were extraordinary, possessing a special bloodline, which allowed them to evolve and revert to their ancestral form after the spiritual energy was revived.

The "Fire Ape" of Flaming Mountain also possesses extraordinary bloodline, and even the ancient demon saint "Burial Sky Lion" has taken it as his disciple!
without any exaggeration.

During the decades of spiritual energy revival on the ancestral star, almost all demons who cultivated to the "Celestial Phenomenon Realm" were not of ordinary bloodline.

Jiang He had asked the old ox this question before.

The old ox claimed that it was originally an old ox raised by a farmer at the foot of Kunlun Mountain. After the spiritual energy was restored, it accidentally ate a treasure and gained intelligence. It then entered Kunlun Mountain and was cultivated by the Golden Roc Little Demon King.

Jiang He believed it.

In the early stages of the spiritual energy revival, many unique "spirits of plants and trees" were indeed born.

In addition, "Kunlun Mountain" has a lineage of demons.

So it's normal that his cultivation speed is faster.

But now that I think about it, it's full of loopholes!

There are so many demons in Kunlun Mountain, many of whom have powerful bloodlines. Why would the Golden Roc Demon King go to great lengths to cultivate a bull demon?
And there's the Weak Water!

The old ox could freely enter and exit the Weak Water, treating the "Heavenly Wind Canyon" of the Weak Water as if it were its own "Heavenly Shade Grass" backyard... Jiang He used to think that "a blind ox stumbled upon a dead rat" and just happened to find the spatial rift from Kunlun Mountain to the "Heavenly Wind Canyon".

Now it seems……

This matter is anything but simple.

Looking at the old ox now.

He still looked the same, plump and strong, with shiny fur, standing upright, wearing a pair of brightly colored floral shorts, but his aura was as deep as the ocean, giving Jiang He the feeling that he was even more powerful than the Heavenly Demon Ancestor!

Obviously.

This old ox is an ancient, ancestral being!
"hey-hey!"

The old ox squinted his eyes and smiled, saying, "Brother Jianghe, it's not that I, the old ox, intended to hide it from you... This is a long story. Let's go to the Demon Palace first, and I'll tell you slowly, okay?"

Regardless, the old ox had done him a favor.

Leaving aside the fact that he was given a large amount of "Heavenly Shade Grass" back then.

Take Jiang He for example. When he was being chased by the "Fish-Dragon Realm" forces of Kunlun Ruins, he accidentally entered the Weak Water. If it weren't for the old yellow ox leading the way, Jiang He, with his cultivation level at the time, might have died in the Weak Water and might not have been able to get out.

Enter the Demon Palace.

Numerous scantily clad female demons are either playing the piano or the flute, or engaging in provocative dances.

Old Ox ordered someone to bring over spirit wine and spirit fruit, and personally poured a cup for Jiang He, saying, "I failed to tell you my true identity before, so this cup is my apology... Please feel free to drink, brother, I'll drink it!"

The old ox grabbed the cup and tilted its head back to drink it down.

Jiang He also downed his drink in one gulp and said, "Brother Niu, you must have your reasons for not telling me your identity. Why should I apologize?"

Rivers are self-aware.

When I first met the old ox, I wasn't even a "body refinement master".

Even when he came out of the "Weak Water", he had only recently advanced to the "Body Refining Vajra Realm".

The fact that the old ox, a dignified "ancestor-level" being able to address me as a brother back then was already giving me a lot of face... Now, when it says "apology," it's most likely just a polite remark because it saw through my cultivation level.

A casual chat ensued.

The old ox began to explain its identity.

"Brother Niu didn't lie to you."

"Brother Niu is indeed an ordinary old yellow ox at the foot of Kunlun Mountain, only he lived in a very ancient era..."

He squinted his bull-like eyes, looking out of the demon palace, a hint of reminiscence flickering in them.

That was a million years ago.

"Back then, the ancestral star and the Kunlun realm were still one, and the landscape was very different from what it is today... At that time, the Kunlun Mountains and the Kunlun Ruins were still one!"

"Countless strange demon creatures live within the Kunlun Ruins."

"The Four Great Spiritual Plants, the Dragon Clan, the Phoenix Clan, the Golden Crow Clan, the Barbarian Clan, and the Witch Clan..."

"Within the ancestral star, all races vie for supremacy."

"Among all the heavens, the gods reign supreme!"

The old ox revealed a very long history...

At the beginning of the era, heaven and earth were first created.

Before the universe was fully formed, the ancestral planet was prosperous... and at that time, humanity was very weak, almost becoming food for various powerful races!
But humans are "born with bodies of the Dao," and are naturally in harmony with the Dao.

During those difficult years, one after another, the sages of mankind sacrificed their lives to create techniques and spread martial arts. In addition, the human race reproduced at an extremely fast rate, and in just ten thousand years, the human race had risen to prominence!

But what truly allowed the human race to stand at the pinnacle of the heavens...

It was the later "conquest" of the gods!
"The God Race is a remnant race from the previous era, with countless powerful individuals within their ranks. There are hundreds, even thousands, of them at the Invincible Realm alone... Moreover, at the end of the previous era, they obtained too many treasures, and there are several powerful individuals within their race comparable to [Immortals]!"

Jiang He was secretly surprised!

Hundreds or thousands of invincible beings?
Just thinking about it sends chills down my spine!
In the myriad realms of the universe, races such as the Heavenly Demon Clan, Blood Clan, and Bone Clan have not even produced an invincible race, yet they can all become the overlords of the universe. Even the reclusive Dragon Clan and Phoenix Clan have very few invincible races within their ranks!

Hundreds of invincible beings, if placed in the present day, would be enough to sweep across the heavens!

"The gods are tyrannical."

"They enslave all realms, attempting to use all living beings as resources..." "They have created the God Realm above the heavens, intending to refine all the realms and transform the God Realm into a second Immortal Realm, making the gods the [Upper Realm]... All races of the heavens, rise up in resistance!"

"But the gods are too strong. Even if all races join forces, they will be no match for them... and they are already in a losing battle. All realms are destined to be refined!"

"The first human emperor of the human race, Suirenshi, stepped forward."

"He fell into demonic possession, burning his endless lifespan to transform into a demon immortal, and bravely severed the 'Jianmu' tree connecting the divine realm, blocking the attack of the divine army and buying time for all realms to breathe!"

"Later, the second human emperor, Fuxi, attained immortality, and under his leadership, the myriad realms of humanity finally had the power to barely resist the divine realm!"

"Ten thousand years later, the third human emperor, Shennong, attained immortality, and all the realms finally possessed the power to rival the gods!"

Jiang He was extremely excited upon hearing this!

In various myths and legends within the Ancestral Star and Kunlun Realm, there are immortals, and many legends and stories of "flying to heaven in broad daylight"... The ten clans want to take over the Ancestral Star because "immortals" were born there. They want to use the Ancestral Star's resources to break through to the invincible path and even the immortal path!
Some people doubt that the so-called "attaining immortality" is just a legend, and that no one in the world has actually become an immortal!
But now, through the old ox, Jiang He learned about that arduous yet glorious and exhilarating history!
The three sovereigns and five emperors of the human race all cultivated the supreme Dao, attained immortality, and led all the myriad realms and races in a bitter battle for nearly ten eras, finally overthrowing the enslavement of the gods!
"The final battle that overthrew the gods was extremely brutal, shattering the heavens and extinguishing the Great Dao... It was precisely because of that battle that the path between immortals and mortals was severed!"

Jiang He said, "So... after the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors of our human race, no living being in the world has ever become an immortal?"

"That's not it."

The old ox said, "The path between immortals and mortals in all the heavens and myriad realms has been severed, but the path to immortality on the ancestral star has not been severed... It is said that the ancestral star was originally a corner of the immortal realm. It has wonders that are unimaginable to ordinary people. In many later eras, some people have attained immortality and ascended to the immortal realm."

“There were even celestial envoys who descended upon the ancestral star and bestowed upon them celestial titles. For example, the founders of the human race’s Daoist sects were granted titles by the Celestial Emperor and were able to ascend to heaven in broad daylight!”

"But as time went on, roughly nine eras ago, after the last descent of the celestial messengers to the ancestral star, gradually even the ancestral star ceased to have any living beings capable of becoming immortals..."

That's why so many powerful individuals seek out the Gate to the Immortal Realm, hoping to use it to comprehend the Dao of Immortality and enter the Immortal Realm!

After hearing this, Jiang He felt as if the clouds had parted and the sun was shining.

He could finally see this world clearly.

He asked curiously, "Brother Niu, what era are you from?"

This old ox recognized the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox and called Zhu Lingzhi "little fellow," clearly indicating that he was older than Zhu Lingzhi, who had lived for seven generations!
The old ox sighed, "My bloodline is mediocre, and I can only make up for it with diligence... I have been cultivating in Kunlun Ruins since I was born with intelligence, and it took me three generations to become an emperor."

"After I became emperor, another era passed. An envoy from the Celestial Realm descended upon our ancestral star and bestowed upon four Celestial Masters of the Daoist sects the titles of Celestial Master..."

"It was during that era that the powerful beings of the Ancestral Star intervened, splitting Kunlun Ruins in two and creating the present-day Kunlun Realm... The various blessed lands on the Ancestral Star were divided up by many powerful beings and refined into the Thirty-Six Grotto-Heavens and the Seventy-Two Blessed Lands."

"And the Kunlun Realm..."

"Nine eras have already been born."

In other words, the old ox has lived through 12 eras!
An era is 129,600 years, and he has lived for a full 1,550,000 years!

An era is 12.96 million years, equivalent to 100 ages, which is longer than even an ordinary emperor!

Through the old ox's narration, the little demon seemed to have found the old ox's figure in the nine-tailed celestial fox's memories, and exclaimed in surprise: "If I remember correctly, nine eras ago, the new demon king of Kunlun Ruins was a bull emperor. He called himself the Mighty Bull Demon King and was quite famous among the demons."

"It's just that the Mischievous Mighty Bull Demon King was unlucky. Not long after he ascended to the throne, the Ancestral Star powerhouse took action and split Kunlun Ruins in two, creating the Kunlun Realm... And the Mischievous Mighty Bull Demon King disappeared after that. There are rumors that when he tried to stop the Ancestral Star powerhouse, he was slapped to death by that powerhouse."

The nine celestial foxes were originally powerful demons from the ancestral star.

After the Kunlun Realm was opened up, she led the fox clan to migrate to Kunlun and occupied "Qingqiu Mountain", which is how the "Qingqiu Fox Clan" lineage came into being.

She was "reincarnated" about six eras ago, so she had naturally heard of the "Mighty Bull Demon King".

The old ox paused, not expecting to be recognized. He immediately shook his head and said, "Heavenly Fox, don't talk nonsense... I am just an ordinary old ox, how could I possibly be the Mighty Bull Demon King?"

"But I also know this Mischievous Mighty Bull Demon King you mentioned."

“I saw him when I was cultivating in seclusion in Kunlun Ruins. He wore a polished silver iron helmet, a suit of brocade and gold armor, pink suede boots with rolled-up toes, and a three-strand lion belt with interlocking silk around his waist. His eyes were as bright as mirrors, his eyebrows were as red as rainbows, and his mouth was like a blood basin with teeth like copper plates!”

"His roar shakes the mountain gods, his movements are so majestic that even evil spirits tremble. He is sworn brothers with the Flood Dragon Demon King, the Roc Demon King, the Lion Camel King, the Macaque King, the Yu Rong King, and the Handsome Monkey King. His true form is ten thousand feet tall, his head is like Mount Tai, his waist is like a towering mountain range, his eyes are like lightning, his mouth is like a blood basin, and his teeth are like swords and halberds... What majesty he is! He is a model for my Ox Clan. I, the old Ox, cannot even come close to matching him!"

Jiang He refused to believe the old ox's words, saying, "You're kidding me?"

"........."

The old ox immediately deflated and said, "Forget it, forget it. What 'Great Mighty Bull Demon King'? It was just a nickname I gave myself when I was young and ignorant. Tianhu, Brother Jianghe, please don't mention it again."

Jiang He asked curiously, "Brother Niu, you and your six brothers are all characters from myths and legends, and have even been adapted into movies and TV series... Where are your six brothers now?"

The old ox smiled bitterly and said, "The Peng Demon King, the Six-Eared Macaque, and the Monkey King were converted by Buddhism and went to the Western Paradise many years ago. The Jiao Demon King, the Lion Camel King, and the Yu Rong King remained outside the Gate of the Immortal Realm. We haven't been in contact for six or seven eras."

"Oh?"

Jiang He said, "Brother Niu, if that's what you're saying... could it be that you've also been to the [Gate to the Immortal Realm]?"

The old ox nodded and said, "I've been there, I've been there... but it's too dangerous outside the [Gate of the Immortal Realm]. Even a Primordial Being could die there with the slightest carelessness, so I ran back..."

Old Yellow Ox frankly admitted that Little Golden Roc and his son were descendants of his good brother "Peng Demon King", so he stayed in Kunlun Mountain to help take care of them.

Then Jiang He inquired about Zu Xing's situation.

Old Ox was quite knowledgeable about the situation on the Ancestral Star. He said, "I know of eighteen powerful beings who are asleep on the Ancestral Star, all of whom are at the Ancestor level... Perhaps there is also [Invincible] asleep, but I, Old Ox, cannot see through [Invincible]'s methods."

The old ox inquired about Jiang He's recent situation, asking curiously, "I feel that your physical strength is incredibly powerful, no weaker than that of a powerhouse who has cultivated for four or five generations... Kid, how exactly did you cultivate?"

Jiang He's current physical strength is slightly over 9000 Star Power.

However, in terms of physical strength, it is indeed comparable to the cultivation level of a powerful figure who has reached the Great Emperor level four or five eras ago.

Jiang He laughed as he recounted his journey through the "Ten Tribes Territory," leaving the old ox speechless.

Upon learning that Jiang He had killed "Emperor Lu Ya" and that the Golden Crow Ancestor intended to return to all the heavens and myriad realms to seek revenge on Jiang He, he was startled and said, "It will be very difficult for the Golden Crow Ancestor to return..."

"After all, if he were to return to the myriad realms with his cultivation level, it would disrupt the balance of all the realms, and the powerful beings outside the gates of the Immortal Realm would not allow him to return."

"But you killed Lu Ya..."

"The Golden Crow Ancestor will never let this matter rest. Once you reach the gates of the Immortal Realm, he will surely take action against you!" (End of Chapter)
