Hu Le originally thought that he would not be able to obtain the title of Pangu lineage until he had completely cultivated the true form of Pangu. However, today, the Shangqing Daoist personally acknowledged his identity as a member of the Pangu lineage.
In this way, he could now claim to be the true descendant of Pangu in the primordial world.
As for Shangqing Daoist bestowing the Golden Dragon Scissors upon Yunxiao and the others, he had already understood the cause and effect when Shangqing Daoist was refining the treasure.
After all, this powerful weapon had appeared once before in the Investiture of the Gods, also as a spiritual treasure of the Three Immortal Islands lineage...
After bestowing the spiritual treasure, the Taoist Shangqing did not linger on the Three Immortal Islands. Instead, he rose and, with everyone seeing him off, returned to Kunlun Mountain.
Finally, everyone returned to the hall. Hu Le pointed to the two demon kings, Yuan Guang and Xuan Guang, who were slumped in the corner of the hall, and said to Duo Bao and the others.
"These two wretches are yours to deal with. My third brother and I are going back to Penglai now. If you need anything in the future, feel free to come and find me."
"Thank you very much, elder brother."
Duobao thanked Hu Le on behalf of Yunxiao and the others, and ordered Yunxiao and the others to fetch some treasures that belonged exclusively to the Three Immortal Islands and Kunlun, and give them to Hu Le as a token of gratitude.
After all, this time Hu Le not only contributed his own efforts, but also brought his subordinates. Although they won in the end, the Penglai Island faction suffered heavy losses.
After returning, Hu Le would have to reward the meritorious officials. Did he really have to pay for all of these things? Wouldn't that make the Shangqing lineage seem ignorant of etiquette?
Hu Le didn't stand on ceremony and ordered the Treasure-Presenting Heavenly Lord to accept the gift, then extended an invitation to Duobao.
"Second brother, it has been tens of thousands of years since we last met. Why don't we return to Penglai together and rekindle our brotherly bond?"
Duobao nodded in agreement.
He also came here to visit his two brothers. He had been busy reclaiming the Three Immortal Islands and hadn't had a chance to catch up with them.
Now that I finally have some free time, I can go to Penglai and have a good time...
Next, Hu Le led his men back to Penglai Island.
After returning to the temple, Hu Le ordered the Treasure-Offering Heavenly Lord to reward his subordinates for their merits, while he himself led Duobao to Lingyun Palace to reminisce about their separation.
Not long after, the Treasure-Offering Heavenly Lord also returned after settling his subordinates, and the three brothers finally reunited.
Hu Le and Xianbao Tianjun each recounted their experiences over the years, and Duobao also shared some interesting anecdotes from Kunlun Mountain…
Next, the three brothers began to explore the surroundings of Penglai Island.
Although Penglai Immortal Island had long become Hu Le's Daoist temple, he had spent most of his time cultivating in the chaos over the years and didn't actually know much about his own temple.
While repairing the Xuan Yuan Yi Qi Ba Men Formation, he briefly toured the island. Accompanying Duo Bao on his tour was also a way for him to indirectly familiarize himself with the island's environment.
When they arrived at a fairy island in the northwest, the three star gods of fortune, prosperity, and longevity came out to greet them.
Because of their special identities, Hu Le invited them to Penglai Island because of the three great fortunes they possessed: Fu, Lu, and Shou.
In this campaign against the Three Immortal Islands, Hu Le was worried that something might happen to them and ruin their luck, so he did not mention their names.
They were quite happy on the island, living up to the blessings of the gods.
The three welcomed Hu Le and his companions into the temple and ordered the attendants to offer them celestial dew and various spiritual fruits, holding a small fruit tasting party.
As plates of spiritual fruits were served, the hall began to fill with various fruity aromas.
These spiritual fruits are all rare items, among which a plate of roasted dates is the most precious. They are formed from top-grade innate spiritual roots and were transplanted from their original place of birth when they established their Daoist temple here.
Duobao and the others tasted it and praised it repeatedly. Fu Lu Shou and the other two stroked their beards and smiled broadly.
The fruit tasting party came to a perfect end. The three Hu brothers left in high spirits, and the three gods of fortune, prosperity, and longevity escorted them off the island and gave them some of the spiritual fruits and elixirs they had collected over the years.
The three of them accepted it without hesitation...
Then, Duobao settled down on the island. Besides traveling around the East China Sea, he would spend his time discussing metaphysics and exchanging supernatural powers and secret techniques with Hu Le and Xianbao Tianjun.
Everyone gained a lot.
...
As Hanguang Daoist was refined into the Golden Dragon Scissors, Yuanguang King and Xuanguang King were also dragged to the outside of the Three Immortal Islands by Zhao Gongming and killed.
Much later, the news of the three demon kings' demise was finally brought back to the demon royal court by the surviving demons from the battle of the Three Immortal Islands.
King Hanguang has already reached the cultivation level of Taiyi Golden Immortal, which is rare even among the entire demon race. As the Demon Emperor, Emperor Jun certainly cannot sit idly by.
So he sent someone to the East China Sea to gather more information.
Finally, after obtaining the exact details of that battle, he couldn't help but rub his temples.
The murderer found out, but things got complicated from there.
One side consisted of disciples of the Three Pure Ones of Kunlun Mountain, and in the end, even the Shangqing Daoist personally intervened.
The other side consists of Taiyi and his wife's disciples, who also have incredibly strong backing.
Di Jun found the situation troublesome and immediately summoned the high-ranking members of the demon race.
With Kunpeng, Bai Ze, Xiang Liu, Shang Yang, and other high-ranking members of the demon race all present, Di Jun recounted the events and then asked for their opinions.
As a demon master, Kunpeng held the highest position among all demons, second only to the Demon Emperor and his wife.
Then, he let out a strange laugh and said, "Brother Dijun, King Hanguang was sent by you to the East Sea to be stationed and in charge of a region."
Now that he has fallen at the hands of Shangqing, you cannot sit idly by. Of course, you cannot easily let go of His Majesty Taiyi's disciple either.
"We are all members of the divine race, how could he join forces with the Xuanmen to make things difficult for us!"
As a staunch supporter of the Kunpeng Ancestor, the Great Sage Shangyang added fuel to the fire, saying, "The Demon Master is right. This concerns the honor of our demon race. We absolutely cannot let those murderers go. In my opinion, we should gather our demon warriors now, first destroy Kunlun, and then conquer Penglai..."
The two of them talked back and forth, and soon they had Di Jun under their control.
"this……"
Di Jun hesitated for a moment, inwardly cursing the two for being unfilial sons.
First, destroy Kunlun, then conquer Penglai.
Do they really think their demon race is invincible?!
They couldn't possibly handle just the Three Pure Ones of Kunlun, yet they went and provoked the disciples of Taiyi and his wife. Were they planning to drag the demon race down with them?
Seeing that Di Jun was in an awkward position, Bai Ze quickly stepped forward to defuse the situation, saying, "Fellow Daoists, please say less. This matter is of great importance. Let's find a foolproof plan first. We cannot easily start a war."
Shang Yang rolled his eyes and said disdainfully, "A foolproof plan? What foolproof plan could there be now?"
One option is to pretend nothing happened and let our entire demon race cower in silence. The other option is for you and me to go to Hanguang's door and demand justice for him.
What else can be done?
On the other side, Xiang Liu and Shang Yang, who had always been at odds, smiled gloomily and took over the conversation.
"Fellow Daoist, you speak so lightly. Whether it's the Kunlun lineage or the Penglai Island lineage, they are not to be trifled with. If you didn't have absolute certainty, how could you start a war?"
Of course, if you insist on avenging Hanguang, that's fine too. Then hurry up and volunteer to be a vanguard general, setting a good example for us.
"you……"
Shang Yang was about to retort.
"That's enough!"
Seeing that the two seemed determined to argue on and on, the Great Sage Guiche couldn't stand it any longer and quickly stepped in to stop them...
