Chapter 424 The bells of Zixiao Palace toll! Rewards are given for those who have rendered meritorio
At this moment, Cangjie spoke:
"If we had known that our teacher would intervene to help other forces during the great battle, we should have gone straight to the underworld earlier."
"If we had a teacher to assist our human race, we would surely gain enough merit in battle!"
Before they even began their conquest of the Devouring Universe Realm, Huang Tian and the others had discussed finding some powerful allies for the human race.
As Huangtian and Cangjie's teacher, Niu Ben was naturally on that list of strong reinforcements.
However, after this discussion, Huang Tian still did not decide to go find Niu Ben.
After all, Niu Ben was indeed powerful, being a Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal.
However, they knew that Niu Ben was not only a Hunyuan Daluo being, but also the Lord of the Underworld and the King of the Niu Clan of the Ten Thousand Mountains.
This bull also has its own power and clan.
They might be thinking of seeking a piece of the Saint's Crystal for their own faction or group.
That's why Huang Tian and the others didn't go to the underworld.
After listening to what Cangjie had to say, Huangtian smiled faintly and said:
"Junior brother."
There's no need to be so anxious about gains and losses.
"Even if our human race fails to obtain the Saint's Crystal this time, there will surely be other opportunities in the future!"
Upon hearing this, Cangjie took a deep breath and said no more.
……
On the other side, Niu Ben also returned to the Netherworld.
"I wonder how the Dao Ancestor will distribute those Saintly Crystals?"
His achievements in this campaign against the Devouring Universe Realm are considerable.
Putting aside other matters, he has successively killed two Grand Luo Immortals from the Devouring Universe Realm.
"pity!"
"The Saint Crystals of the two Primordial Grand Luo Realm cultivators from the Devouring Universe Realm that I killed did not fall into my hands."
Niu Ben sighed inwardly.
Not long after the great war began, he encountered the Primordial Erosion of the Devouring Universe Realm.
After a fierce battle, Niu Ben used the World-Destroying Millstone to suppress and kill the Corrupted Corpse.
After the Corpse Erosion perished, it left behind a Saint's Crystal.
But who would have thought that before Niu Ben could even collect it, the Saint Crystal was snatched away by the Saint Ancestor of the Devouring Universe Realm.
Subsequently, Niu Ben killed a Hunyuan being named Devouring Spirit from the Devouring Universe Realm.
In his final moments, Devouring Spirit ignited his own essence and chose to self-destruct, which meant that he did not leave behind the Saint's Crystal after his death.
After thinking for a moment, Niu Ben came to his senses and said calmly:
"That's enough!"
"We'll see how the Dao Ancestor distributes them then!"
Without thinking much about it, Niu Ben got up and went to find Xi He and Chang Xi.
He did not bring the Xihe sisters with him on this expedition to another world.
Soon, Niu Ben met Xihe and Changxi in the mansion of the underworld.
"The Cowherd!"
"Brother-in-law!"
Xihe and Changxi were overjoyed to see Niu Ben return.
They were extremely worried when they learned that Niu Ben was going to conquer another world.
Although Niu Ben is already a Hunyuan Daluo realm being, the other world is full of unknown dangers.
The two sisters were overjoyed to see Niu Ben return safely.
……
Time flies, and before we knew it, a thousand years had passed since the Great War of the Devouring Universe.
Over this period of time, the primordial world remained exceptionally peaceful, and nothing major happened.
Even so, many powerful beings knew that this was merely the calm before the storm.
Many people are waiting for the distribution of the Saint's Crystal.
On this day, a bell suddenly rang out from within the Zixiao Palace, its sound falling straight down into the primordial world.
Upon hearing the bells of Zixiao Palace, all the powerful beings in the prehistoric world were excited.
"They're here!"
"This is a summons from the Dao Ancestor!"
"Looks like it's time to distribute Saint Crystals!"
"The time has finally come to reward those who have contributed."
"I wonder who will be the recipient of the Saint's Crystal this time?"
"The demon race should be able to obtain one!"
"The Witch Clan isn't bad either, is they?"
"What about humanity? Is there any hope?"
"In terms of military achievements, how can we, as independent cultivators, compare with those powerful forces and religious organizations!"
"..."
Many powerful figures sighed with emotion, and without much thought, they all leaped up and headed towards Zixiao Palace.
Before long, powerful figures from all sides began to arrive outside Zixiao Palace.
The twelve ancestral witches are Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi of the demon race, Huang Tian and Zhen Yuanzi of the human race, and Di Jiang of the witch race.
In addition, the Three Pure Ones, Jieyin, Zhunti, and the Six Sages of Nuwa and the Heavens also arrived, bringing with them disciples from their respective sects.
The rest were a group of independent powerful cultivators.
Upon his arrival, all the powerful figures present were filled with anticipation.
Everyone wants to see who will ultimately win the Saint's Crystal.
"call out!"
Just then, a figure streaked across the sky and landed outside the Zixiao Palace; it was Niu Ben.
Upon seeing this, Haotian and Yaochi's two attendants immediately stepped forward to meet the attack.
Soon, Niu Ben arrived at Zixiao Palace.
Upon seeing Niu Ben arrive, a commotion broke out, and discussions arose:
"Look, it's Daoist Niu Ben!"
"The foremost sage!"
"During the great battle against the Devouring Universe Realm, Daoist Niu Ben was truly incredibly powerful!"
"It's unbelievable that someone with the strength of a Primordial Grand Luo could fight against a Heavenly Dao-level Saint Ancestor."
"..."
The many influential figures present naturally held Niu Ben in high esteem.
But more than anything, it was fear of it.
After all, the strength that Niu Ben displayed in the earlier interdimensional war was too terrifying!
In addition, he also possesses two innate treasures.
Niu Ben paid no attention to the amazement and praise of the crowd, and walked with a faint smile to the position of the Supreme Sage.
"Greetings, Master! And my two senior uncles!"
Before ascending the throne, Niu Ben bowed deeply to the Three Pure Ones.
Seeing this, the three Pure Ones, including the Supreme One, were all smiles. They were extremely satisfied with this disciple.
Meanwhile, Jieyin, Zhunti, and the Sage Nuwa smiled gratefully at Niu Ben.
Earlier in the Devouring Universe Realm, he and the other six saints joined forces to fight against the Holy Ancestor.
Even so, he was still no match for the Holy Ancestor, and was even nearly killed by the Holy Ancestor.
Fortunately, at the critical moment, Niu Ben appeared and helped them withstand the Holy Ancestor's attack, which allowed them to escape danger!
The terrifying combat power that Niu Ben displayed when he fought against the Holy Ancestor alone also shocked them.
Shortly after Niu Ben arrived, two figures appeared out of thin air at the front.
The newcomer was none other than Dao Ancestor Hongjun and the incarnation of the Heavenly Dao.
Upon seeing the appearance of the Dao Ancestor and the incarnation of the Primordial Heavenly Dao, all the powerful beings present stood in solemn silence.
Hongjun remained calm, his gaze sweeping over the many saints and powerful beings below, before speaking:
"Gentlemen."
"I'm sure you've all guessed the purpose of summoning you all to Zixiao Palace, haven't you?"
Upon hearing this, many powerful figures nodded in agreement.
They knew perfectly well that the purpose of this gathering at Zixiao Palace was to reward merits and distribute the Saint's Crystal!
Seeing the many powerful beings nod, Hongjun smiled faintly and said again:
"This expedition to another world, the annihilation of the Devourer of the Universe, and the strengthening of our primordial world are all meritorious achievements."
"However, merits vary in magnitude, and rewards vary in amount."
"Based on the judgment of Heaven and the record of military achievements, the following decision is made."
As soon as Dao Ancestor Hongjun uttered these words, everyone present held their breath and looked on with anticipation!
