Primordial Era: A man at the mouth of the Guanjiang River marries the Third Holy Mother.

Chapter 29 If all humans cultivated immortality, would mortals still revere immortals?

Upon hearing the patrons discussing the monsters of Niutou Mountain, Chen Changsheng's heart stirred.

"Since we've come across this, let's go check it out!"

"It seems that the monster that caused trouble on Niutou Mountain wasn't very powerful."

Chen Changsheng muttered to himself.

If he hadn't encountered such a thing, it would have been fine.

But now that he's run into them, given his personality, he certainly won't stand idly by.

After all, he was also of human origin.

Now, in the human territory of Niutou Mountain, there are monsters causing trouble and killing many ordinary people.

Of course, he couldn't just sit idly by!

Having made up his mind, Chen Changsheng called over the waiter and paid for the drinks.

"Waiter."

"Where is Niutou Mountain located?"

While the waiter was collecting the money for the drinks, Chen Changsheng inquired.

"what?"

Upon hearing this, the waiter was taken aback and quickly looked towards Chen Changsheng:

"Sir/Madam."

Why are you asking about Niutou Mountain?

"There are monsters there! You absolutely mustn't go!"

"In the past, there were some virtuous and righteous people who wanted to rid the people of demons, but unfortunately, after they went to Niutou Mountain, they were never heard from again."

"It seems they became food for that monster."

Chen Changsheng smiled slightly and said:

"Just tell me where Niutou Mountain is."

The waiter hesitated for a moment before saying:

"Once you leave the city, go about a hundred li to the west, and you will reach the territory of Niutou Mountain."

Thank you.

Chen Changsheng nodded, and without lingering, got up and walked out of the restaurant.

Watching Chen Changsheng's departing figure, the waiter opened his mouth as if to call out, but swallowed the words back down.

He had already informed Chen Changsheng of the situation earlier.

But Chen Changsheng seemed determined to leave.

"The king has already invited a celestial master to exorcise the demon."

"We should just wait for the immortal master to make a move. Why are there people rushing to eat the monster?"

As he spoke, the waiter shook his head and sighed helplessly.

……

After leaving the restaurant, Chen Changsheng vanished in a flash.

When it appeared, it was already riding a cloud heading west.

Before long, he arrived at the area where Niutou Mountain was located.

Looking down, the scenery of Niutou Mountain is quite nice.

A thousand streams rush forth, a thousand cliffs vie in beauty.

Birds sing but people are nowhere to be seen; fallen flowers still linger on the trees.

It seemed like a wonderful place, but unfortunately, it was occupied by a demon and became a place rarely visited by humans.

"I wonder if it's that bear-like monster?"

Chen Changsheng remembered very clearly that there was also a Niutou Mountain in the later Journey to the West, where a bear monster occupied the place.

It was a black bear that had cultivated itself into a spirit after many years.

Finally, he was taken in by Guanyin Bodhisattva and became the guardian deity of the mountain.

However, since we are currently on the eve of the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods, this Niutou Mountain may not be the Niutou Mountain he knows.

"boom!"

Just as Chen Changsheng was lost in thought, a deafening roar suddenly came from the depths of Niutou Mountain.

"Bang bang..."

Immediately following were a series of crashing sounds.

"Oh?"

Chen Changsheng sensed it and was slightly surprised. He muttered to himself:

"Did someone arrive at Ox Head Mountain before me and even engage in a magical battle with that monster?"

After a slight hesitation, Chen Changsheng did not delay and quickly rode away on a cloud.

Before long, he arrived in the void deep within Niutou Mountain.

Looking down, I saw two figures locked in fierce combat.

One of the figures was a human cultivator wielding a long spear, while the other was a minotaur-like demon.

The two were of similar cultivation level, both at the Refining Spirit and Returning to Emptiness stage.

"boom……"

"Bang! Bang!"

The human and the demon fought fiercely, their battle causing mountains to collapse and the earth to split.

Chen Changsheng did not rush to make a move, but instead looked down at the battle below from the void.

The human cultivator's spear moved like a dragon, each strike precisely piercing the minotaur-like demon.

Although its strength was not weak, unfortunately, the bull demon's defense was extremely amazing, and sometimes it could even withstand attacks by relying on its own physical strength.

Then, the human and the demon each unleashed a powerful attack, neither dodging, and they collided head-on.

"clang!"

"Boom!"

After this exchange, both the human and the demon retreated a distance, their strength evenly matched.

"Wow, that's strong!"

The human cultivator roared, his spear transforming into countless cold stars as he aimed directly at the bull demon's vital points.

"Moo!!"

The bull demon roared repeatedly, wielding a giant axe, and charged at the human cultivator once more.

"Bang bang bang..."

Next, the sounds of axes and spears clashing were incessant, and each collision caused rocks to tumble down from the surrounding mountains.

In the heat of battle, the human cultivator suddenly changed tactics, his spear darting out like a venomous snake, aiming straight for the bull demon's heart.

The shot was as fast as lightning, and the tip of the gun even produced a sonic boom.

Caught off guard, the bull demon was pierced through the body by the human cultivator. Fortunately, its bones were incredibly hard, preventing the human cultivator's spear from truly penetrating its body.

"Roar..."

Enraged by the pain, the bull demon swung its giant axe and smashed it down on the spear.

The human cultivator was startled, and then felt a tremendous force coming from him. His tiger's mouth split open, and he almost dropped his spear.

Just as the human and the demon were locked in fierce combat, Chen Changsheng couldn't help but exclaim in admiration from the void:

"I didn't expect that."

"There are actually such cultivators among the human race!"

Although that human cultivator's cultivation level wasn't very high, only at the Refining Spirit and Returning to Emptiness stage of the mortal realm.

However, the strength he displayed was not to be underestimated, especially his hand technique, which was executed with unparalleled skill.

After becoming Zhao Gongming's disciple, Chen Changsheng also learned some secrets of the prehistoric world.

The reason why human cultivators are so few is entirely because they are blocked by the sages.

The sages did not want humanity to break free of their control and needed humanity to continuously provide them with the power of destiny.

If all humans cultivated immortality, would mortals still revere immortals?

Without death, what is faith?

Therefore, very few people among the human race are capable of cultivating immortality; they are all people with great fortune.

Of course, Chen Changsheng is different.

Unlike Yang Jian, who possessed the destiny of a great calamity, he was just an ordinary human being.

Fortunately, with the help of the system, he was able to defy fate and gradually get to where he is today.

"That human cultivator below must also possess great fortune, right?"

Upon realizing this, Chen Changsheng uttered a soft shout:

"The Heavenly Eye has opened!"

Earlier, after he survived the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation, he successfully transformed from a mortal to an immortal and even cultivated the Great Dao-level Thunder Technique to the first level.

This entry into the first level of the Thunder Technique granted Chen Changsheng the "Eye of Heavenly Punishment".

Once activated, it allows one to see through the target's past sins, such as traces of cause and effect like killing and betrayal.

In addition, he can also see the fortune of other people.

At this moment, as the words of divine punishment were activated, lightning patterns flashed between Chen Changsheng's brows, and the Eye of Divine Punishment slowly opened.

This inspection confirmed his suspicions.

The human youth possessed immense fortune, soaring into the sky like smoke from a wolf's beacon, clearly indicating he was no ordinary person.
