Hearing Jingyang Daozun's words, which were half a reminder and half a warning, the Space Daoist nodded slightly, "I understand, fellow Daoist need not worry."
As fellow rulers of their own universes, he understood Jingyang Daozun's thoughts very well.
If it were him, he wouldn't want any sage of creation to run rampant in his Xuan Yuan universe either...
"In that case, please excuse me for taking my leave. If you have some free time in the future, I hope you will come and visit me for a while."
Before leaving, Daoist Jingyang politely extended an invitation to Daoist Kongtai.
The Taoist priest in space smiled and nodded: "Rest assured, fellow Daoist, once the matter is settled, I will certainly pay you a visit..."
Jingyang Daozun's figure gradually faded into nothingness and disappeared...
With one step, the Space Taoist arrived in a new world.
Just now, Hu Le sneaked into this realm and disappeared.
He had already laid out divine senses around this realm, and had not detected that Hu Le had left.
Therefore, he could be certain that Hu Le was still within this world at this moment.
It's just that because of the delay, Hu Le has probably already gone deep into this realm and disappeared without a trace.
This is a vast world with countless living beings. If Hu Le has transformed and hidden within it, how could he possibly find his true form in such a short time?
If it were anyone else, he could simply use his fingers to calculate the profound mysteries of the Great Dao and determine their location.
Unfortunately, Hu Le had the Primordial Bell concealing the secrets. Even if his true self were here, let alone if he were merely an avatar of someone who had transcended the realm, no one could possibly calculate it accurately.
Unless he can beg the Dao Ancestor to intervene, perhaps he can break through the mystery hidden by the Hongmeng Bell.
However, how could he possibly trouble the Hongmeng Dao Ancestor over such a trivial matter...
At this moment, just as the Space Taoist had predicted, Hu Le indeed escaped to the mortal realm.
After entering the human realm, he flew for hundreds of miles in the sky and soon arrived above a precipitous mountain peak.
His divine sense swept across the ground and suddenly he discovered two young men lying beside the mountain path below.
One of them was dressed in Confucian robes and wore a square cap. He was a young scholar in his twenties, and next to him lay a page boy who was about ten years old.
Both men had deep, bone-revealing wounds on their chests, and blood was flowing everywhere.
It's unclear whether they encountered a revenge killing or were ambushed by bandits...
However, perhaps because he had only recently died, the blood on the ground had not yet congealed.
Hu Le's heart stirred, and he landed his auspicious cloud beside the two corpses, discovering that although the two were dead, their bodies were still warm.
He raised his hand and pointed, transferring a stream of life-giving energy to the scholar, instantly healing the corpse's wounds.
Then, he hurriedly released his own soul, directly breaking through the scholar's skull and entering the scholar's sea of consciousness.
"Um……"
The scholar groaned, slowly opened his eyes, and then helped himself up.
At that moment, he saw his own physical body standing quietly not far away.
When he entered the scholar's body, he only carried a trace of magical power and divine thought.
At this moment, he activated this wisp of magical power and divine thought, raised his hand and pointed, and a scroll of Xuanhuang Diagram fell from the sleeve of his physical body, then unfolded, taking his physical body into the diagram.
The next instant, he opened his mouth, gently inhaled, and the Xuanhuang diagram rapidly shrank, turning into a point of Xuanhuang spiritual light that entered his mouth and disappeared.
At this moment, the last trace of magical power and divine sense within him was completely exhausted, and his soul was completely merged with that of the ordinary person.
He took a step forward and found that his body was filled with turbid energy, making it feel extremely heavy when he walked.
He had no choice but to do this in order to avoid the Taoist priest in the space.
He walked to the roadside, broke off a branch, and then went to the pageboy's side, where he began to dig in the ground with the branch.
Now that he has obtained the scholar's body, he can't just leave this man's companion to rot in the wilderness.
Although this place is at the foot of the mountain, the soil is full of rocks. He only has this one branch in his hand, so digging it out is naturally very difficult.
After finally digging out a shallow layer, he was already sweating profusely and panting heavily.
He sighed inwardly; this physical body was truly too fragile…
Just as he sat down to catch his breath, his soul, which had been hidden deep within his sea of consciousness, suddenly felt a strange chill, and the hairs on his back stood on end. It was as if some mysterious and profound power swept over him.
Fortunately, the feeling was fleeting, and he quickly relaxed.
At this moment, the space Taoist standing in the sky frowned slightly, just as he had expected.
He had just used his divine sense to scan the entire world, leaving no corner untouched.
If it were a common transformation technique, it would be impossible to escape the detection of his divine sense.
But what happened? He used his divine sense to scan the heavens and the earth, as well as the sun, moon, and stars, but he still couldn't find any trace of Hu Le...
After resting for a while and recovering, Hu Le dug for some more time. When he saw that he could bury the page boy shallowly, he stopped immediately.
With great effort, they dragged the pageboy into the pit and then covered him with a thin layer of yellow soil.
Then they piled some more stones on top, which was barely enough to make a grave.
After doing all this, he was almost completely exhausted. He sat down by the roadside to rest while packing up the two people's belongings.
Hu Le first found two leather water bags, shook them in his hands, and found that there was still some water inside. He quickly pulled out the stoppers and drank a lot, thus quenching his thirst.
Then, I continued to rummage through my backpack, only to find that it was completely empty.
Forget about silver, they didn't even have a change of clothes, let alone the essentials for a scholar like writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone.
It seems that the master and servant had indeed just encountered bandits who were robbing them on the highway...
"Gurgle..."
Just as he tossed his backpack aside, his stomach suddenly growled, and a feeling of hunger quickly spread throughout his body.
He looked up at the sky and realized that the sun was already setting in the west, with about an hour or two left before sunset.
This is the middle of nowhere, and his physical body has no strength whatsoever. Once night falls, when the wild beasts in the mountains come out to hunt for food, wouldn't he just be offering himself up as food to them?
Of course, if he encounters a life-or-death crisis, he can release his primordial spirit from his primordial body and dispel these calamities.
However, he was not certain that the Space Taoist had already left this world.
If the other party is still monitoring this realm, and Hu Le rashly uses his physical body and magical power, and is discovered, wouldn't everything he just did become a joke...?
Unless it was a life-or-death crisis, he was ultimately unwilling to reveal his whereabouts.
So he decided to take advantage of the early hour to find a safe place to spend the night.
Fortunately, when he was standing in the clouds and using his divine sense to survey the ground, he had scanned a cave not far away.
Perhaps he could spend the night in that cave...
