As the purple gourd matured, before it even fell to the ground, it suddenly burst forth with a burst of seven-colored spiritual light.
A divine light filled the land, and golden lotuses bloomed everywhere. The spiritual energy from all directions gathered into clouds, which then transformed into countless raindrops that drifted down.
The surrounding spiritual roots, nourished by the rain, burst forth with vitality and grew wildly. Some animals, which were originally ignorant, also developed intelligence after being bathed in the rain...
At the center of that spiritual light, deep within the myriad golden lotuses, celestial energy surged, and suddenly a Taoist in purple robes appeared.
The Taoist priest was very young, wearing a purple robe and hemp shoes. He looked to be about twenty years old, and his black hair was hastily tied up with a wooden hairpin.
Although his appearance was ordinary, his quiet eyes subtly gleamed with a mysterious light, revealing his extraordinary nature.
The Taoist priest was none other than Hu Le, who had manifested in human form at the crucial moment.
"After millions of years of arduous cultivation, I have finally taken human form today!"
Hu Le was overjoyed and secretly sighed with emotion.
A moment later, Hu Le regained consciousness. Seeing the gods looking at him with various expressions, he quickly composed himself and bowed to them.
"This junior, Hu Le, greets all the great masters."
Then, he came to Donghuang Taiyi and knelt down on the ground with a thud.
"Thank you for your great mercy and for bestowing this blessing upon your disciple. Your disciple is deeply grateful."
Hu Le knew very well that Donghuang Taiyi, as the ruler of the Heavenly Court, was in charge of the blessings and fortunes of all living beings.
At this moment, Taiyi himself is present; without this person's permission, he absolutely cannot manifest in human form.
Fortunately, Donghuang Taiyi was compassionate by nature. At the critical moment, he activated the Chaos Bell and took the initiative to resolve this calamity for him.
However, he already owed Taiyi a great debt of karma, and this incident only made his debt even greater.
If one cannot repay this karmic debt in the end, let alone attain enlightenment in the future, one may even fall into a deadly calamity from which one cannot escape.
Upon hearing this, Taiyi nodded slightly and said, "You little god do know what's good for you."
Among the gods nearby, even Lu Ya, whose cultivation was the weakest and whose level was only Golden Immortal, instantly understood the cause and effect when he saw Hu Le take human form.
However, since they weren't involved, they naturally couldn't say much...
Taiyi first encouraged Hu Le to cheer up, then turned to Taiqing and the others with a smile and said, "Gentlemen, it's not easy for us to meet here today. Why don't we take this opportunity to discuss the Dao with each other?"
Since the beginning of time, among countless beings, not a single one has been able to attain the Primordial Dao Fruit. In the past, the Heavenly Emperor Cangli, the Earthly Emperor Yuejian, and the Human Emperor Jiutou were all outstanding among the innate saints, but they all perished on their path to enlightenment.
Now that he is the lord of all gods, he should open up a primordial path for all living beings.
Unfortunately, despite years of trying to comprehend the Great Dao, he has never been able to grasp its essence.
He had long heard that the Three Pure Ones had recently become disciples of Hongjun of Yujing Mountain, gradually breaking away from the divine race, calling themselves Xuanmen, and beginning to cultivate the so-called Xuanmen Great Dao.
It is said that the Taoist methods of Xuanmen are extremely profound and can directly lead to the Primordial Dao Fruit.
He was also skeptical about this, after all, as the number one person of the God Clan, he knew all too well how difficult it was to attain the Primordial Dao.
Moreover, Hongjun, who pioneered the Xuanmen Great Dao, has not yet attained enlightenment, so the mysteries of the Xuanmen Great Law are hardly convincing.
However, one can learn from others' experiences. He believed that even figures like the Three Pure Ones had begun to abandon their old methods and cultivate the profound laws of the Xuanmen School, which must have its own extraordinary aspects.
He had been curious for a while, and now he had a good opportunity to listen in.
"Since Fellow Daoist Taiyi has such an interest, this old Daoist will naturally not refuse."
Without hesitation, Master Taiqing agreed on the spot.
As the senior disciple of the Xuanmen sect, it is his bounden duty to promote the Xuanmen Dao. He hopes that Taiyi can learn from him and change to Xuanmen Daoist practices, so as to strengthen the Xuanmen's destiny.
However, he also knew that this was wishful thinking. At this time, the Xuanmen sect was only a small group, let alone flourishing and occupying the great fortune of the primordial world, it didn't even have the qualifications to get a share of the pie.
After all, at this time, the Primordial God Clan was at its zenith, ruling over the four extremes and eight wastelands, its prestige unmatched, and its fortune was booming.
As the emperor among the gods, how could Taiyi possibly lead the way in disrupting the divine race's destiny and defect to the Xuanmen sect...?
Upon hearing that Daoist Taiqing readily agreed, Taiyi nodded slightly. Nuwa and Hongyun, who were both at the Great Luo level at the time, didn't think much of it.
When it was Lu Ya's turn, he was incredibly excited.
Although he, with his meager Golden Immortal cultivation, was not qualified to discuss the Dao with these people, being able to listen to their lectures was already a great honor.
Of course, besides Lu Ya, Hu Le had the lowest cultivation level, having just transformed into human form. He was far inferior to Lu Ya, so being able to participate in this grand event was truly a stroke of luck...
Seeing that everyone agreed, Taiyi raised his hand and pointed to the ground, instantly clearing out a flat open space.
Immediately afterwards, spiritual light gathered and golden light surged, and a square cloud platform rose from the ground.
After the gimbal stopped rising, he stepped onto it.
Seeing this, the Taoist Taiqing smiled slightly, and also reached out to raise a cloud seat opposite Taiyi, and slowly sat down.
The Jade Purity Daoist and the Upper Purity Daoist followed suit, each raising their own cloud platform.
Nuwa and Hongyun were naturally not lagging behind.
Nuwa silently chanted an incantation, and the colorful mist in front of her gathered and instantly condensed into a seven-colored lotus flower. She lifted her skirt and sat down.
Hongyun then raised her hand and summoned a red cloud, which sat down in mid-air.
Seeing that several great immortals were sitting in a circle, about to expound on the Dharma and discuss the Dao, Hu Le quickly found an empty space to the side.
Before he could sit down, a futon suddenly appeared beside him. He looked up and saw Lu Ya smiling at him.
Hu Le smiled in response: "Please, fellow Daoist, have a seat."
"Fellow Daoist, there's no need to be so polite."
Lu Ya said there was no need to be polite, but his actions were anything but hesitant. He casually sat cross-legged on the futon.
Hu Le didn't seem to mind and sat down next to him with a smile.
Just then, heavenly music suddenly resounded in the void, and at the same time, the sky opened up, auspicious light shone everywhere, the sun, moon and stars appeared together, and clusters of spiritual energy gathered together, transforming into dragons, tigers and phoenixes, dancing together in the sky, displaying boundless wonders.
Golden light gushed forth from the ground like a spring, and golden lotuses bloomed and then vanished, only to be reborn again, in an endless cycle, ever-changing and never ceasing.
Just then, a golden lotus floated in front of Hu Le, and it was just beginning to show signs of destruction.
Hu Le hurriedly reached out and plucked the golden lotus. Before he could admire it properly, the golden lotus dissolved like flowing water, turning into thousands of golden threads that slowly merged into his body.
Hu Le focused his mind and sensed the surroundings, discovering that a trace of magical power had unexpectedly appeared within his body, equivalent to about a hundred years of accumulated power.
Of course, this century of cultivation was nothing compared to the magical power he had accumulated over billions of years by absorbing and exhaling innate spiritual energy.
However, this wisp of magical power was extremely pure, far surpassing the magical power he himself had condensed.
Just as Hu Le was slowly exploring, he saw Lu Ya suddenly push up his hair bun, and a crimson auspicious cloud flew out from his Niwan Palace.
Flames rose from the clouds, revealing a boundless and wondrous realm. The surrounding golden lotuses were instantly drawn into the auspicious clouds, involuntarily drawn into them...
