A Bull Should Act Like a Bull

Ao Guang saw Chen Xuan charge straight toward the two bulls and assumed Chen Xuan intended to fight them head-on. He could not help shaking his head.

But what happened next left Ao Guang utterly dumbfounded. Not only did Chen Xuan not force a confrontation, he instead sat down some distance away from the two bulls.

At the same time, the Green Lotus Precious Color Banner hovered above Chen Xuan's head, and lotuses of azure light blossomed throughout the sky.

They kept the bolts of lightning confined beyond a certain range.

Meanwhile, Chen Xuan watched the two bulls lock horns with great interest, occasionally shaking his head and sighing.

This made the two bulls rather embarrassed, and they simply stopped butting heads.

Instead, they turned to Chen Xuan and asked, "What do you mean, brat? Why are you sitting there shaking your head and sighing?"

Chen Xuan stood up and dusted himself off. He still held a handful of sunflower seeds, munching on them as he spat the shells onto the ground.

At that moment, Chen Xuan perfectly embodied an onlooker enjoying the show.

This only made the two bulls even angrier. They exchanged a glance, then charged directly at Chen Xuan.

Unfortunately, before the two bulls could reach Chen Xuan, the lotuses floating in midair sent them flying back.

Only then did Chen Xuan finally speak. "You two fools have fought for hundreds of years over a place this tiny. You're killing me."

Hearing Chen Xuan look down on Liubo Mountain, Thunder Beast Kui immediately lost his temper.

"You call Liubo Mountain a tiny place? You really are narrow-minded.

"Do you know that Liubo Mountain is a renowned immortal island in the East Sea? Even the Dragon Race has its eyes on it.

"They can't wait to drive us away and claim Liubo Mountain for themselves."

Halfway up the mountain, Ao Guang was so furious that he stomped his feet and beat his chest.

"You two fools! My East Sea Dragon Race wants to drive you away because you're too noisy, not because Liubo Mountain is anything special."

Unfortunately, Thunder Beast Kui and the Great Water Buffalo selectively ignored Ao Guang's words.

They still stood proudly before Chen Xuan, declaring their ownership of Liubo Mountain.

Chen Xuan smiled and tossed the last sunflower seed in his hand into his mouth.

After spitting out the shell, Chen Xuan spoke again. "Let me tell you a story. Once upon a time, there was a frog..."

Chen Xuan vividly told them the story of the frog at the bottom of a well. At first, the two bulls listened intently.

But in the end, the two fools finally understood. They glared at Chen Xuan and said, "You little bastard! You're saying we're the toads in that well."

Chen Xuan smiled. "Aren't you? Do you know that beyond the East Sea lies the boundless Great Desolate Land?

"Throughout the Great Desolate Land are countless blessed grottoes and sacred domains. Even the places occupied by the Demon Race have spiritual energy a hundred times richer than your Liubo Mountain.

"Not to mention Mount Buzhou, formed from Great God Pangu's spine, and Kunlun Mountain, where my sect is located."

As he spoke, Chen Xuan flipped his hand, and a Ginseng Fruit appeared in it.

"This Ginseng Fruit is brimming with spiritual energy and grows in the Great Desolate Land. Does your Liubo Mountain have anything like it?"

The two bulls had already been completely stunned by Chen Xuan's words. Their minds could barely keep up anymore.

Now that they sensed the rich spiritual energy emanating from the Ginseng Fruit, they believed Chen Xuan's words without the slightest doubt.

Seeing the two bulls' expressions, Chen Xuan immediately struck while the iron was hot. "Do you two want this Ginseng Fruit?"

The moment Chen Xuan said this, the two bulls nodded their heads desperately, each afraid that he might seem less sincere than the other.

"There is only one Ginseng Fruit, but there are two of you. That does make things difficult for me. How about this?

"You two compete. Whoever wins will receive this Ginseng Fruit from me. And I'll give him a stroke of fortune as well."

What Chen Xuan had not expected was that as soon as he finished speaking, the two bulls locked horns again.

Chen Xuan was utterly speechless. Even Ao Guang halfway up the mountain did not know whether to laugh or cry.

Chen Xuan hurriedly said, "Stop, stop, stop! You two have already been butting heads for five hundred years. Even if you keep going for another five hundred years, you probably still won't determine a winner.

"I don't have time to stay here with you. How about this? I'll come up with a way for you to compete that will definitely determine the victor."

The two bulls also knew they would not be able to settle things by continuing like this. They immediately agreed to Chen Xuan's suggestion without hesitation.

With a wave of Chen Xuan's hand, an ox cart appeared before the two bulls.

"A bull should act like a bull. This is an ox cart. Only a bull capable of pulling an ox cart can be considered a real bull.

"You two will pull this ox cart now. Whoever can move it wins."

Seeing the unremarkable ox cart before them, neither of the two fools took it seriously.

Thunder Beast Kui even volunteered first and walked straight over to the ox cart.

"I'll go first. Forget this tiny ox cart—even Liubo Mountain itself, I could drag it around the East Sea twice."

After saying that, he stepped into the harness of the ox cart, preparing to pull it and show Chen Xuan what he could do.

Unfortunately, although Thunder Beast Kui used every ounce of strength he had, he could not move the ox cart even a single step.

This immediately invigorated the Great Water Buffalo. He mocked Thunder Beast Kui while telling him to hurry up and move aside so he could have a try.

Thunder Beast Kui truly could not pull it, but he did not believe the Great Water Buffalo could do it either.

He simply stepped out of the harness and said disdainfully to the Great Water Buffalo, "I can't pull it, but you can?"

"Haven't you heard? Only a bull can pull an ox cart. When have you ever seen a bull as ugly as you?"

After saying that, the Great Water Buffalo stepped into the harness and began pulling the ox cart with all his might.

Unfortunately, the ox cart remained completely motionless. No matter how much strength the Great Water Buffalo used, it was useless.

Thunder Beast Kui burst into laughter and continuously mocked the Great Water Buffalo for not being much of a bull himself.

At this moment, Chen Xuan sighed and shook his head. "It seems neither of you has any fate with becoming a Saint."

The moment Chen Xuan said this, it was far more shocking than deciding who would receive the Ginseng Fruit.

Even Ao Guang flashed over and arrived directly beside Chen Xuan.

"Celestial Immortal, may I try as well? Perhaps I can pull this ox cart."

Chen Xuan thought, Why are you joining in? Could it be that you're a bull too?

He simply smiled and said to Ao Guang, "If you want to pull something, you should pull the Nine Dragons Aloeswood Carriage. This ox cart isn't meant for you."

As soon as Chen Xuan finished speaking, Ao Guang seemed to realize something. He immediately transformed into his True Dragon form and flew toward the East Sea.

The two bulls did not care whether Ao Guang left or not. Instead, they pressed Chen Xuan, asking what this had to do with Saints.

"At Purple Cloud Palace, Grandmaster preached the Dao and selected six Saints for this world. One of them was my master, Supreme Purity Tongtian.

"I came this time to find a mount for my master. Only a bull that can pull this ox cart is qualified to become a Saint's mount.

"Unfortunately, the two of you lack both fortune and destiny. You can only keep butting heads on Liubo Mountain."

After saying that, Chen Xuan waved his hand and put away the ox cart.
