The scene of Hu Le using the Five Ghosts Transporting Technique to steal gold, silver and jade artifacts from a wealthy household in town was witnessed by Master Chizhang.
This caused the Red Staff Master to be filled with emotion.
They felt this kid's methods were rather outrageous; how could he attack ordinary people? Did he have no regard for the dignity of a cultivator?
Is this the right way to do things?
Even if you were to take action, it would be appropriate to target those who are usually wicked and heartless!
Therefore, he felt even more strongly that he should guide this boy onto the right path, lest he continue to do astray and cause such a promising talent for cultivation to completely fall into the demonic path...
Putting aside the fact that Master Chizhang acted on his own initiative, after Hu Le obtained some money, he went to the livestock market in town again the next day and found that the green donkey he had his eye on the day before had not yet been sold.
So he paid the money and bought the donkey.
Then, leading them away from the livestock market, they had a Taoist robe made in the town, changed out of their somewhat tattered Confucian robes, and rode their blue donkeys directly out of town.
However, at this very moment, several wealthy households discovered that their hidden silver had been stolen.
He immediately dispatched his servants to search the vicinity of the town, while also ordering someone to report to the authorities.
When Hu Le rode his donkey to the outskirts of town, he was immediately stopped by the checkpoints set up by the wealthy families.
You should know that outsiders like him are already highly suspected.
Moreover, the town is not big and is somewhat remote, so there aren't many people passing by on weekdays.
Hu Le is the only stranger like this in the past two days.
This made him even more suspicious.
At this moment, seeing that Hu Le was about to leave the town, more than a dozen burly men rushed out from the temporary checkpoint, stopped him, and looked him up and down.
"You Taoist priest, stop right there!"
Clearly, they were planning to give Hu Le a body search first.
Hu Le frowned slightly. All the gold, silver and precious jade were hidden in the backpack on his body. If they searched it, wouldn't he be exposed?
He immediately gave the donkey's rump a light tap with his bamboo staff, simultaneously channeling a burst of magical power into it.
The next instant, the green donkey leaped and flew over the heads of the crowd, soaring several dozen feet before landing steadily.
"ah!"
The group of burly men were all utterly horrified upon seeing this.
When had they ever seen a donkey that could jump so high?
For a moment, I really thought I had encountered a monster.
Before they could react, the blue donkey brayed a few more times, leaped a few times, and quickly disappeared at the end of the road...
Hu Le rode his blue donkey along the main road, having long forgotten about the affairs of the town.
In the past, before he attained enlightenment, he even stole from his own teacher Taiyi's Heavenly Treasury. Now, he has only taken some gold and silver from wealthy families. Compared to the past, this is nothing.
Besides, these gold and silver items originated from the creation of heaven and earth and belong to all living beings. How could they be allowed to hoard them privately?
Who knows how they obtained this gold and silver? Maybe it was all ill-gotten gains. So what if he helps the spendthrift...?
Hu Le rode his blue donkey southwards, channeling his magical power into the donkey's body as he went, subtly altering its physique.
After all, he was a dignified Dao-merging Saint, and even though he had now retreated into the mortal world, his mount couldn't be just an ordinary donkey.
Now, let's cleanse it of its marrow and bones. As for whether it can enter the path of Tao, transform from mortal to demon, or even achieve enlightenment, that depends on its own destiny.
Hu Le will give it this opportunity, but whether it can seize it depends on itself...
Hu Le rode his donkey forward, passing through cities and towns, and gained some understanding of this world.
This realm is called the Capital Heaven Realm. It is divided into thirteen major states, two of which are overseas and the remaining eleven are inland.
These eleven states are home to hundreds of millions of people and are ruled by hundreds of nations.
Hu Le is currently located in the Tang Kingdom, specifically in the Central Province of the Eleventh Province.
The Kingdom of Tang was one of the most powerful dynasties among all the kingdoms...
As for cultivators in this world, Hu Le hadn't encountered many at this time. The only one he had met before was the slovenly old Taoist, Master Chizhang.
However, he was not in a hurry, did not really want to find them, and had no intention of communicating with them.
He simply strolled leisurely through the world, appreciating the myriad aspects of life and the many landscapes along the way, standing apart from the masses.
From the moment he entered the Dao until he later became a saint in harmony with the Dao, he was always courageous and diligent, and rarely had the leisure to attend to anything other than cultivation.
He paid little attention to the various landscapes of the world.
Perhaps, along the way, he has missed far too many sights.
Of course, he wasn't unaware of the importance of rest and enjoyment before, but since embarking on the path of cultivation, various reasons have forced him to tread carefully, constantly striving to reach higher realms.
For him, sometimes pausing even slightly could lead to utter ruin.
Throughout his life, the word "struggle" has been a constant theme.
He needs to contend with the Dao, with people, and with time.
Finally, he struggled all the way to the highest point of the primordial wilderness.
But when he stood at the pinnacle of all living beings in the primordial world, even a group of Primordial Saints were suppressed beneath him.
He suddenly discovered that besides the primordial wilderness, there was also a vast primordial chaos.
As the saying goes, the Dao has no limits, and the realm of merging with the Dao is merely the beginning for the Great Dao of Primordial Chaos.
Therefore, he still could not stop to truly rest. Even though his mind and body were extremely tired, he still had to embark on that path of courageous and diligent progress...
The path of cultivation is like rowing against the current; if you slack off even slightly, you may be surpassed by those who come after you.
Sometimes, there are only a few positions at the Dao Fruit level. Once someone else obtains it first, it's useless for others to try any harder.
Sometimes falling behind means losing not only time, but potentially your entire life...
Now, he has been forced to fall into the Capital Realm and taken on a new body. He can take this opportunity to rest for a while and appreciate the culture and scenery of this foreign land.
Time may be very precious to him.
However, once one reaches his level of cultivation, the time required to break through to the next level must be measured in eons.
However, the key to his attainment of transcendence does not lie with him, but also depends on the cooperation of his senior disciple, Guan Kong.
Only when Guan Kong achieves Hunyuan and inherits the cause and effect between him and the primordial world can he completely break free from the primordial heavenly way and truly achieve the realm of transcendence.
The path lies with him, not with himself. Even with his boundless magical power and the divine ability to manipulate creation, he could not force Guan Kong to achieve the Primordial Dao Fruit.
Therefore, if he rests in the human world for a hundred or two hundred years, it can be considered as not being negligent...
