Hong Huang: I am the cowherd

Chapter 4 Entering Jin’ao Island, The Hongmeng Nine Turns!

After digesting the memories in his mind, Su Chen realized that he was in the era of the first human dynasty—the Xia Dynasty. This meant that the Great Desolation was currently in the post-Lich Tribulation period, after the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, but before the Investiture of the Gods calamity had officially begun.

[Ding! Congratulations, Master! A mission choice has been triggered!

Choice 1: Cultivate independently and do not follow Kui Niu to Jin’ao Island!

Reward: Body-Sanctification Cultivation Method, Nine-Turn Profound Art!

Choice 2: Follow Kui Niu to Jin’ao Island!

Reward: Pangu’s Dao-Proving Cultivation Method, Hongmeng Nine Turns!]

The system’s clear and melodious notification made Su Chen’s heart leap with joy. Without hesitation, Su Chen immediately responded.

“System, I choose 2!”

Although Nine-Turn Profound Art was legendary, it paled in comparison to Hongmeng Nine Turns, the cultivation method that Pangu himself used to prove the Dao. Thus, there was no need for deliberation—he directly chose option 2.

After all, Hongmeng Nine Turns was not only Pangu’s Dao-proving method, but it also encompassed Nine-Turn Yuan Art (for primordial spirit cultivation) and Nine-Turn Profound Art (for body sanctification).

The Three Purities, as incarnations of Pangu’s primordial spirit, had inherited Nine-Turn Yuan Art. The Twelve Ancestral Witches, born from Pangu’s blood essence, had inherited Nine-Turn Profound Art.

But the complete Hongmeng Nine Turns allowed for the mutual enhancement of both the primordial spirit and the physical body, ultimately leading to both attaining sainthood simultaneously. Its power was unimaginable!

“Old friend, rest assured, I will not let you down!”

Su Chen looked at Kui Niu, his gaze filled with unwavering determination and sincerity. As a transmigrator, Su Chen knew that the upcoming Investiture of the Gods calamity was aimed at the Jie Sect. If he wasn’t careful, he could very well perish in the tribulation.

However, without encountering Kui Niu, would he have such an opportunity in the first place? Thus, even if the Investiture of the Gods calamity came, Su Chen would do everything in his power to repay Kui Niu’s kindness!

Kui Niu saw the unwavering sincerity in Su Chen’s eyes and was slightly moved. He reached out and patted Su Chen’s shoulder with genuine warmth.

“Su Chen, once I bring you to Jin’ao Island, you will be considered part of the Jie Sect. If you perform well, you may have the chance to become a disciple of the senior brothers and sisters, or even be accepted as a direct disciple of our master. So, do your best!”

“Understood!”

Feeling Kui Niu’s care, Su Chen nodded firmly.

Ten years later, Kui Niu finally brought Su Chen to Jin’ao Island.

[Ding! Congratulations, Master! You have successfully completed the mission. The reward has been sent—please check your inventory!]

Hearing the system notification, Su Chen was overjoyed. Now, he not only possessed a drop of Pangu’s heart blood but also Pangu’s Dao-proving cultivation method, Hongmeng Nine Turns!

As long as he cultivated diligently, his rise to power was only a matter of time!

Upon arriving on Jin’ao Island, many disciples of the Jie Sect came forward.

“Greetings, Uncle Kui Niu!”

“Greetings, Uncle Kui Niu!”

As Kui Niu stepped onto Jin’ao Island, countless disciples of the Jie Sect respectfully saluted him. Although Kui Niu was not a true direct disciple of the Sage Tongtian, he was still his personal mount. His status was certainly not as high as the core disciples, but it was still far above ordinary registered disciples.

As a result, even the second and third-generation disciples treated him with respect. Kui Niu greeted them in return and introduced Su Chen.

“No need for such formalities, my nephews. This is my dear friend, Su Chen. I hope you can look after him.”

Hearing this, the third-generation disciples were surprised. They had assumed Su Chen was Kui Niu’s disciple, but he was actually his friend. Naturally, they would not dare to neglect him.

Seeing that Kui Niu was already paving the way for him, Su Chen felt deeply touched.

Kui Niu led Su Chen to a towering mountain peak on the island—his usual resting place.

“Su Chen, I will teach you two cultivation techniques—Eight-Nine Profound Art and Grand Immortal Technique.

One focuses on the path of physical sanctification, while the other refines the primordial spirit. Choose whichever suits you best. As long as you cultivate diligently and absorb the celestial fruit energy in your body, becoming an immortal will be effortless!”

Over the past ten years of travel, Kui Niu had fed Su Chen countless celestial fruits to sustain him. Once he embarked on the path of cultivation, attaining immortality and eternal life would be within reach!

“Old friend, thank you!”

Receiving Eight-Nine Profound Art and Grand Immortal Technique, Su Chen expressed his gratitude sincerely.

“Why be so formal with me?”

Kui Niu laughed heartily and began guiding Su Chen through the key points of cultivation. After half an hour, Kui Niu saw that Su Chen had understood the basics and prepared to leave.

“Su Chen, cultivate diligently. If you’re hungry or thirsty, just consume celestial fruits and spiritual spring water.

I must now go to Biyou Palace to report to our master, the Tongtian Cult Leader.”
