Before long, Duobao finally arrived at the South Heavenly Gate on a cloud. After showing his gold token, the guard did not make things difficult for him and let him in.

He inquired his way along the way and finally arrived at the Jade Pool Heavenly Palace.

In the end, it was still through the token that I met the Golden Virtue Heavenly Mother.

After Empress Jinde learned of Duobao's purpose and examined the contents of the jade talisman, she couldn't help but laugh and scold, "This audacious wretch actually did such a thing. He deserves to be punished, and he still has the nerve to come here to beg for mercy."

However, Hu Le's admission of his mistakes and his description of his miserable situation in the jade talisman eventually touched her compassionate heart.

After all, Hu Le had already become their student, and was like their child to them.

The love a human emperor feels for his child is something even he cannot escape...

She thought to herself: Oh well! Even if this brat is a bit naughty, he is still my disciple. Since he has admitted his mistake, I shouldn't be too harsh on him. The punishment was too much.

And the Treasure-Offering Heavenly Lord was also unlucky, purely because of his disciple's misfortune.

I couldn't just sit idly by...

Thinking of this, she ordered someone to fetch two round, golden pills from the back hall and gave them to Duobao, who then passed them on to Hu Le and the Treasure Offering Heavenly Lord.

Then, she had a celestial maiden lead Duobao to a side hall, where he ate some fresh fruit and snacks before sending him down to the mortal realm.

After Duobao left the South Heavenly Gate, he breathed a sigh of relief. The Heavenly Palace was too imposing, and for a demon like him who naturally cherished freedom, staying inside made him feel uncomfortable all over...

As the saying goes, he came in a hurry and left in a hurry. On this day, as Hu Le eagerly awaited, Duobao finally returned on a cloud.

"Fellow Daoist! How did it go this time? Did you see my master's wife?"

Before Duobao could even get close, Hu Le couldn't wait to ask.

Duobao patted his chest and laughed loudly, "Brother Dao, rest assured, everything is going smoothly."

"That's good! What did my master's wife say? Will she set me free?"

Hu Le continued to bombard the questions with a barrage of questions.

Duobao chuckled and said, "Brother Dao, don't be impatient. The Heavenly Empress has already given me instructions to convey her message."

He took out two golden pills from his pocket and waved them in front of the two of them.

"What's this?"

"This was bestowed by the Empress Dowager, who instructed me to pass it on to you two. As for its wondrous effects, you will know once you take it."

Duobao wasn't really sure about the effects of the Golden Elixir, and was curious about what changes would occur after the two of them consumed it.

Hu Le and Xianbao Tianjun were also puzzled, but they knew that Jinde Tianhou would not harm them.

So Hu Le opened his mouth and sucked hard, instantly drawing the golden pill from Duobao's hand into his mouth.

Xianbao Tianju followed suit and swallowed the golden pill in one gulp.

"Hey! Why are you two in such a hurry!"

Duobao originally wanted to use the Golden Core to manipulate the two of them, at least to make Hu Le fulfill the benefits he had promised.

Hu Le acted too quickly, thwarting his plans.

Hu Le narrowed his eyes, ignoring the annoyed Duo Bao. He felt the golden pill instantly transform into a light, ethereal energy as soon as it entered his mouth, flowing down his throat and into his abdomen, circulating throughout his body...

A short while later.

Hu Le felt a sudden lightness throughout his body, as if he had broken free from some kind of restraint and appeared in an endless void.

At this moment, it was as if they had transcended the Three Realms and were no longer bound by the Five Elements...

Urged on by his intuition, he took a step into the void and found that people had already emerged from the foot of the mountain.

In Duobao's eyes, the mysterious changes in Hu Le were even more profound and unfathomable.

As soon as Hu Le swallowed the golden pill, a dazzling burst of spiritual light erupted from his body, and then a blurry figure jumped out from Hu Le's skull.

Upon landing, the figure immediately solidified, becoming indistinguishable from a real person.

Judging from his appearance, he is also Hu Le.

But who is Hu Le, who was suppressed at the foot of the mountain?

Hu Le stood there stunned for a moment, then glanced at the one who was suppressed at the foot of the mountain, and instantly had some guesses in his mind.

Is this what my master's wife does?

Indeed, it is mysterious and unpredictable, perhaps similar to the legendary substitution technique.

Of course, he also knew that Empress Jin De could remove him from the state of suppression with just one golden pill, and the mystery involved was far beyond what could be compared to the substitution of one thing for another.

The fact that such supernatural powers and techniques can be integrated into a golden elixir indicates that the golden elixir was not refined by the power of water and fire, but must have been achieved through a means of manipulating creation.

However, these are all just his guesses.

He's not even a Golden Immortal yet, how could he possibly guess the methods of a great supernatural being?

The methods of a highly powerful being are unimaginable for someone of his level; the more he thought about it, the more wrong he became…

At the same time, the Treasure Offering Heavenly Lord also broke free and looked back at the puppet lying at the foot of the mountain. It was so lifelike that it seemed as if the original had been reborn.

Even the second primordial spirit cultivated by some people is nothing more than this.

...

Donghuang Taiyi was busy dealing with affairs in the Heavenly Court while also cultivating and trying to break through to the Hunyuan Realm, so he naturally didn't pay much attention to the changes on Hu Le's side.

However, Hu Le is ultimately the only disciple, and his safety cannot be ignored.

Therefore, after suppressing Hu Le, a team of the Six Ding and Six Jia gods were sent to patrol the sky.

The commotion on Hu Le's side naturally did not escape the notice of Liu Ding and Liu Jia.

However, they were ultimately just minor deities in the Heavenly Court and dared not attack Hu Le.

Furthermore, seeing that Duobao had obtained the decree from the Heavenly Empress from the Heavenly Court, they dared not interfere even more.

They gathered together and discussed for a while, then decided to go back and report to Taiyi. So they rode on a cloud and flew towards the Heavenly Court.

Although they were hidden in the clouds, they could not hide from the three people on the ground.

However, the three of them saw that they were just a group of insignificant minor gods and didn't take them seriously at all.

If a fight were to break out, even if the Six Ding and Six Jia possessed the divine power bestowed by the Heavenly Court, ordinary innate deities could easily annihilate them with a mere breath.

Fortunately, they were sensible enough to pretend they didn't know what was happening on the ground and didn't step forward to stop it.

The three ignored them, pretending they didn't exist.

Now a group of people hurriedly left, still heading in the direction of the Heavenly Palace.

Hu Le's mind raced, and he immediately guessed their plan.

"This is bad! We shouldn't stay here any longer. Let's leave first."

Hu Le shouted and took the lead, riding the escape light towards the depths of Zhou Mountain.

Taiyi had previously vowed to suppress them for a thousand years. Although they have now escaped thanks to the power of Empress Jinde, they have ultimately defied Taiyi's orders.

If Taiyi gets angry and is caught again, the consequences are unpredictable. He might save his life, but he will inevitably be punished even more severely.

What difference is there between staying here and personally delivering yourself to their door?

This is a dangerous place to stay; it would be foolish to remain here and wait to be caught...

"Young master! Wait for me a moment."

Upon seeing this, the Treasure-Offering Heavenly Lord shouted and hurriedly followed.

"Hey! You two, don't go yet! I haven't paid you your reward!"

Seeing that the two had escaped and fled in a disheveled state without saying a word, Duobao was instantly enraged and gave chase with a shout...
