First Meeting with the Western Duo

After obtaining the Chaos Spirit Fire, Bo Huang came to an ancient mountain. Standing atop its towering summit, he looked down upon the magnificent scenery below. The mountain rose into the blue sky, wreathed in clouds and mist like an immortal realm. Sunlight streamed through the clouds, illuminating Bo Huang's figure and accentuating his mysterious, solemn aura.

Dressed in white, Bo Huang's long hair danced in the wind, while his eyes revealed a trace of determination and persistence. He slowly closed his eyes, drew a deep breath, and merged his consciousness with the Chaos Spirit Fire. A scorching energy surged from within his body and coiled around him.

He extended his palm and gathered the power of the Solar True Fire. It was a fierce, blazing flame that seemed capable of burning everything to ashes. Bo Huang carefully began fusing the Chaos Spirit Fire with the Solar True Fire. The two immense powers intertwined, radiating incomparable brilliance.

As he felt the Chaos Spirit Fire collide with the Solar True Fire, his heart filled with both anticipation and challenge. He knew that only by perfectly merging these two forces could he take his Golden Crow Physique another step forward and reach an unprecedented realm.

Time quietly passed as Bo Huang worked. He continuously adjusted the proportions of the Chaos Spirit Fire and Solar True Fire, seeking the finest balance. Fine beads of sweat formed on his forehead, but he did not stop. He knew this was a necessary path in his pursuit of power.

After some time, Bo Huang successfully fused the Chaos Spirit Fire with the Golden Crow Divine Flame. A tremendous energy erupted from within his body, instantly breaking through the barrier of the mid-stage Taiyi Golden Immortal realm. Then he advanced all the way until he finally stopped at the peak of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm.

Bo Huang thought to himself, The human race is developing fairly well now. With fire, I'll let them develop freely for a while first. I should go find myself a mount.

With that thought, Bo Huang began pondering. Yuanshi's mount will be easy enough. Recently, Father Di Jun obtained the Nine Dragon Agarwood Carriage, so he'll definitely be pleased if I give it to him. But I need to give something to Master Lao Zi and Master Tongtian too... Where were those two oxen again?

At this thought, Bo Huang sank into deep recollection. He remembered that when he had read novels in his previous life, Lao Zi's mount was called a Si, and it looked like a large rhinoceros. The Classic of Mountains and Seas said that the Si was east of Shun. Now where was Shun's tombstone again?

His head was about to explode from thinking, yet he still could not remember. Shun isn't even a tadpole yet. Where am I supposed to find his grave? System, give me a hint. Where exactly is that fellow called Si?

The system said, "Ding. Would you like to activate the search function?"

Bo Huang hurriedly said, "Yes. Hurry up."

The system said, "Ding. Si: a blue-skinned, one-horned ox, located on Xuanzhou Island in the Western Sea. It is currently at the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm as well. What do you think, Host?"

Bo Huang chuckled. "There are differences even among Taiyi Golden Immortals. Just watch how I subdue him." As he spoke, he transformed into a streak of rainbow light and arrived at Xuanzhou Island.

On Xuanzhou Island, Si was peacefully sleeping. Bo Huang appeared and kicked him in the side. "Big green ox, do you want me to grant you a great fortune?"

Si looked utterly confused. "What great fortune? Tell me about it first."

Bo Huang said, "I want to give you to a mighty expert as a mount. Don't get angry yet. This is absolutely a good thing for you."

Si immediately transformed into his Dao form and gripped a long spear. "Screw you. Being someone's mount counts as a good thing? I'm a divine beast, after all. I'm not that stupid. Take this spear!" With that, he raised his hand and thrust his spear toward Bo Huang.

Bo Huang's expression changed. "I'm serious. Can't you just listen to me explain—hey, if you keep chasing me and attacking me, I'm going to fight back..."

Unable to do anything else, Si continued chasing Bo Huang, determined to beat him up. Bo Huang finally grew annoyed and directly took out the God-Slaying Spear. With a disdainful smile, he said, "You think you're worthy of wielding a spear? I'll defeat you with spear techniques." As he spoke, he thrust his spear toward Si.
