Hu Le extended a finger and touched Indra's brow. A beam of innate Yin-Yang chaotic divine light shot out from the fingertip, instantly erasing Indra's consciousness.
Meanwhile, in the Asura Palace, the Styx Ancestor was comprehending the Dao when he suddenly frowned, got up from his lotus seat, and went to the back hall.
Inside the hall, a dozen or so incense tables were arranged on both sides, each with a bronze lamp on it, the dim flames of which flickered constantly.
The Styx Ancestor walked to the last incense table on the right, only to find that the oil lamp on this table had been extinguished at some point.
These oil lamps are called soul lamps, and each one represents the life characteristics of his disciples.
Each time a soul lamp goes out, it means that a disciple has perished.
The oil lamp before the Styx Ancestor contained a wisp of Indra's divine soul.
The Styx Ancestor stared blankly at the extinguished oil lamp, but soon a smile appeared on his sinister face.
"Good lad! You're pretty quick!"
...
On the other side, above the sea of blood.
After Hu Le snapped his fingers and obliterated Indra's primordial spirit, he still kept his physical body in place.
Then he slapped his forehead and called out, "Fellow Daoist, please show yourself."
The next instant, a ball of blood-red light flew out of his skull, and in a moment it changed in the wind, revealing a human figure, which was the second primordial spirit avatar he had previously refined.
"Greetings, fellow Daoist."
The avatar bowed to Hu Le.
"You may go now."
Hu Le reached out and pushed the avatar from behind, and the avatar instantly turned into a streak of blood light and disappeared into Indra's body.
In an instant, the incarnation had completely devoured Indra's remaining divine power and spiritual energy.
Then, Indra's body jolted, and he suddenly opened his eyes.
From that moment on, Hu Le's incarnation completely replaced Indra...
Seeing this scene, the Red Lotus Child, who was not far away, couldn't help but tremble.
He's not stupid; he understands exactly what happened.
"You...he..."
The Red Lotus Boy's face turned deathly pale. He pointed at Hu Le, his voice trembling, and for a moment he didn't know what to say to him.
After all, he had never seen such a daring person before.
Indra was the patriarch's disciple, how could he be killed so casually, and then his body possessed...?
Incarnation walked up to the boy, patted his little head, and said with a gentle smile, "Let's go back together."
"Here."
The boy blankly agreed and followed Indra toward the sea of blood.
"Hopefully it will turn out well..."
After watching the two figures disappear into the sea of blood, Hu Le silently offered a blessing.
He sent this avatar back to the Asura Palace, of course, to test the Styx Ancestor.
If the Styx Ancestor were to kill him immediately upon seeing his incarnation, Hu Le would naturally understand the Styx Ancestor's attitude.
It's just an avatar; Hu Le can afford to lose it.
If the Styx Ancestor ignores this, then he might as well abandon this incarnation and become a disciple of the Styx Ancestor.
After all, the demonic path is not entirely useless; on the contrary, it is full of endless mysteries. If one tries to cultivate it, one might become a great demon in the future, which would not be of no benefit to oneself...
Not to mention that Hu Le himself returned to the primordial world.
It is said that his avatar followed the Red Lotus Boy all the way back to the Asura Palace, where he found the Styx Ancestor sitting on a lotus platform, practicing magic with his eyes closed.
“Disciple Indra greets his teacher.”
Hu Le bowed and greeted the Styx Ancestor in a very formal manner.
The Red Lotus Child beside him hesitated for two seconds before suddenly speaking, "Ancestor... he..."
“Boy, there’s no need for further words. I already know everything. You may leave now,” the Styx Ancestor suddenly spoke, interrupting the boy.
The boy was somewhat taken aback by these words, but he also knew that once the ancestor spoke, he would simply obey; there was no room for refusal...
After Styx finished speaking, he looked at the incarnation of Indra with a hint of amusement.
"You still consider me your teacher?"
"Of course, how could Indra ever forget the kindness of his teacher in imparting the Way?" Indra's avatar replied, his tone equally calm.
His words also contained another meaning, and whether the Styx Ancestor could understand them is a matter of opinion.
Is it only Indra?
The Styx Ancestor pondered for a moment, then burst into laughter.
"So be it! Indra it is. How could the Ancestor dare to compete with His Majesty Taiyi for a disciple? You may step down and go back to your cultivation."
"yes!
"This disciple takes his leave!"
The incarnation of Indra responded, bowed, and withdrew from the main hall.
After descending the jade steps and standing in the plaza in front of the palace, he looked up at the blood-red sky for a while, feeling a mix of emotions...
...
After returning to the primordial world, Hu Le flew all the way back to Penglai Immortal Island.
After resting for two days, he ordered Hongyu Tongzi to go to Yuxiu Cliff in the back mountain to summon his disciple Guankong.
After Guan Kong paid her respects, Hu tested her cultivation. When he found that this disciple was not slacking off and would soon be able to successfully transform into human form, Hu nodded in satisfaction.
Next, Guan Kong began to raise her questions about her cultivation, hoping that Hu Le could answer them for her.
Hu Le naturally didn't hesitate to give guidance to his only disciple.
Just as the master and disciple were exchanging questions and answers, filling the hall with harmony.
Hu Le's heart stirred, and he suddenly stopped explaining.
Guan Kong looked at Hu Le, puzzled, and saw his teacher suddenly frown slightly, a look of surprise flashing across his face.
The next instant, a purple gourd suddenly appeared in Hu Le's palm, and he gently patted the bottom of Hu Le three times.
Suddenly, a ball of golden and red flames emerged from the gourd's mouth.
Guan Kong stared intently into the depths of the flames and saw a bird the size of a palm, its body wreathed in golden flames, munching on a blood-red lotus seed.
The bird wore a crest of feathers, its feathers were incredibly beautiful, and it was surrounded by flames.
Guan Kong immediately recognized the bird's identity; it was clearly a phoenix.
As for the lotus seed, Guan Kong, who is also one of the lotus roots, naturally wouldn't fail to recognize its origin.
"Teacher...this is..."
Hu Le waved his hand, not answering Guan Kong's question.
He was completely baffled. Whether it was Xuan Cheng Daojun's Nirvana Fire or that Karmic Fire Red Lotus Seed, he had simply suppressed them both inside the purple gourd.
He hadn't expected that such a change would occur after the two met.
Under the watchful eyes of the master and disciple, the phoenix continued to peck at the lotus seeds and devour the clusters of red lotus karmic fire.
As the lotus seeds gradually disappeared into the phoenix's mouth, its form began to solidify, and the colors of its feathers and flames began to change.
The flames are gradually turning a reddish-gold color.
As for the feathers, they began to be covered with a layer of black and red, and a faint innate yin energy emanated from the bird.
Upon seeing this, Hu Le's eyes lit up.
oh?
After it is born, it will likely transform into a phoenix born of innate virtue, which wouldn't be bad...
