The Golden Hoop Immortal fought a fierce battle with the rogue cultivator and finally defeated him. He thought he could keep the pool of Three Lights Divine Water for himself.

When they returned excitedly, they found the pool completely empty.

This almost infuriated him.

He stood there fuming for a while, then tried to divine the secrets of heaven with his fingers, but the information he received was completely vague.

This is to be expected, given Hu Le's level of skill and ability; how could he possibly have foreseen this?

He stomped his foot angrily, then immediately took out a black beetle the size of a finger from the treasure pouch at his waist, pricked his fingertip, squeezed out a drop of blood, and fed it to the beetle.

This insect was an ancient and strange insect that he obtained by chance when he went to preach to the human race. Not only was its speed of flight as fast as lightning, but its ability to track auras and hide was also extremely rare in the world.

Hu Le did not deliberately conceal his aura or identity, so after receiving the Golden Hoop Immortal's order, the insect spread its wings, circled the pool once, and flew off in a certain direction.

Upon seeing this, the Golden Hoop Immortal's eyes lit up. He vowed in his heart that if he caught up with that person, he would never let him off the hook.

The insect spread its wings and flew swiftly across the sky, covering hundreds of miles in the blink of an eye.

The Golden Hoop Immortal, riding his escape light, relentlessly pursued behind him.

The next moment, he noticed that the insect had slowed down, and a seven-colored auspicious cloud appeared in front of him. On the cloud stood a deity wearing a golden crown and a purple robe.

Because they were far apart and the person was behind him, he naturally couldn't see the person's face.

Immediately, the insect caught up with the man and circled around his head.

"Ha! That's him!"

Upon seeing this, the Golden Hoop Immortal understood immediately and hurriedly chased after him in his escape light.

Just then, the man seemed to have spotted the insect. A wisp of sword light shot out from his hand, and with a single strike, he shredded the insect into dust.

Seeing that the pursuer had caught up to several miles away, the Golden Hoop Immortal took out a dozen golden hoops from his sleeve, intending to use them to trap the person in front of him.

Unexpectedly, before he could make a move, he saw that the man did not turn around, but simply waved his sleeve behind him.

Jin Gu Xian's vision went black, and he felt a sudden darkness engulf him. A powerful and incredible force of the Great Dao enveloped him, and he was involuntarily thrown into the air, performing dozens of somersaults.

Once the power of the Great Dao disappeared, he regained his footing in mid-air. Looking around, he realized that he had somehow returned to the edge of Fangzhang Island, with the island's protective formation behind him.

Who is that person?

The Golden Hoop Immortal was caught in a state of shock and uncertainty...

As for that person, it was naturally Hu Le.

He held back; otherwise, he could have sent the Golden Hoop Immortal directly into the formation with that attack.

Given Jin Gu Xian's current level of cultivation, if he were to be trapped in the formation alone, he would certainly face certain death.

After easily resolving a minor problem, he didn't linger and flew straight ahead for over a thousand miles, where another stretch of majestic peaks appeared.

At this moment, he was extremely close to the center of Fangzhang Island.

Just as he released his divine sense to patrol the mountains, a five-colored spiritual light suddenly rose from the mountains ahead.

A thought struck him, and he immediately flew over, arriving above the Immortal Peak in the next instant.

He looked down and saw an ancient and vigorous pine tree standing on the mountaintop.

Five-colored spiritual light shone on the old pine tree, surrounded by a misty purple aura, and wisps of primordial energy flowed among its branches.

More than a hundred pine cones hung from the tree, swaying gently in the breeze and producing a series of melodious chime sounds.

"Huh? This seems to be a congenital five-needle pine?"

After seeing the tree, Hu Le had some guesses in his mind.

The Five-Needle Pine is a top-tier innate spiritual root, a natural master of the five elements, and its grade is similar to that of the legendary Ginseng Fruit and Yellow Plum.

The Longevity Fruit Tree he planted in the Heavenly Court was also a top-tier spiritual root, but it was still inferior to the innate five-needle pine in front of him.

This Abbot Island truly nurtured a supreme treasure, it's just a pity...

He suddenly sighed, and at the same time, the five-needle pine tree changed its spiritual light and transformed into an old Taoist priest in an instant.

"Fellow Daoist! Greetings!"

The Taoist priest bowed to Hu Le, who was in mid-air.

It turns out that the spiritual root had already transformed into human form and shed its spiritual root body.

Moreover, judging from this person's aura, he had already achieved the Great Luo realm at some point and mastered the Five Elements Dao of the Primordial Chaos...

Hu Le descended from the ethereal light, stood before the Taoist, and returned the greeting.

Hu Le already understood that it was this Taoist priest who had released a wisp of his aura to lure him over.

Otherwise, if he had intended to conceal his presence and hide his whereabouts, Hu Le would not have been able to detect his existence at all.

The Taoist pointed to the ground, and a stone table and two stone stools appeared in front of the two of them.

"Fellow Daoist, please have a seat."

The Taoist priest gestured for them to proceed.

Hu Le didn't stand on ceremony and sat down, lifting the hem of his robe.

The Taoist priest also sat down opposite him.

"My name is Xuanxiang. May I ask your name, fellow traveler?" Hu Le asked with a smile.

"Fellow Daoist, you can just call me the Five Aggregates."

As the Taoist spoke, he reached out and brushed his hand across the stone table, whereupon some celestial dew and spiritual fruits appeared, all treasures unique to Fangzhang Island.

The two drank the celestial dew while discussing the Great Dao.

At first, Hu Le talked about the innate Yin and Yang, and then he turned to the innate Five Elements. Wu Yun Dao Ren listened very attentively, occasionally interjecting with a few words, each one a gem, showing that his understanding of the Great Dao was no less than Hu Le's.

As the two were discussing the Great Dao, a lucky cloud suddenly flew in from afar. The next moment, the cloud landed in front of them, and a plump Taoist priest stepped down.

"Duobao, you're here too."

Hu Le smiled and waved to the person who came.

Duobao was nearby when he sensed a strong aura of primordial energy flash by. He knew that a great treasure must have appeared, so he rushed over.

However, he found his elder brother sitting opposite an old Taoist priest, discussing the Dao with him.

Seeing that it wasn't a treasure that had appeared, he felt a little disappointed. But when he heard Hu Le calling out to him, he composed himself and went forward.

Hu Le introduced the two to each other, and they stood up to greet each other.

The Five Elements Taoist then conjured up a stone bench and invited Duobao to sit down.

Next, the discussion between the two people turned into a discussion among the three.

Because Hu Le was intentionally guiding them, and the two were also willing to cooperate, the three of them mostly talked about the Five Elements Dao of the Primordial Chaos.

The Supreme Purity Dao encompasses everything, and it also has extremely profound discussions on the Five Elements of Heaven.

Therefore, although Daoist Duobao's level of cultivation was not as high as theirs, he could still explain the innate five elements in the Shangqing Great Dao in a very logical and eloquent manner.

Of course, what Hu Le was listening to at this moment was more about the Five Elements Daoist's understanding and explanation of the Great Dao of the Five Elements.

After all, the other party had already condensed the innate five elements Dao seeds and mastered the innate five elements Dao.

As the master of the Five Elements Dao, few can compare to him in terms of understanding the innate Five Elements Dao...
