Hu Le picked up the whisk, released a wisp of his primordial spirit into the artifact, and forcefully broke through all the acquired primordial divine restrictions to reach the depths of the artifact's origin.
Here, a purple mist filled the air, and primordial divine light drifted and swirled in the void.
At the center of that divine light, a flawless spiritual treasure embryo rotated slightly, faintly revealing primordial Dao inscriptions, radiating endless wonder.
A tall deity was sitting cross-legged above the primordial embryo, with wisps of purple energy flowing in and out of his mouth and nose with each breath.
This is precisely the primordial spirit of Hongtai Daozun's magic treasure.
Upon seeing Hu Le's primordial spirit arrive, Hongtai Daozun's primordial spirit immediately stood up and rushed towards Hu Le with flowing sleeves.
Suddenly, Hu Le's primordial spirit produced a purple bamboo staff and began fighting with Hongtai Daozun.
However, although this was only a remnant primordial spirit incarnation, with the cultivation level of Daoist Taihong, Hu Le's primordial spirit was killed on the spot after only a few rounds of fighting with him, without even a chance to escape.
Outside the magical artifact, Hu Le sensed the dissipation of that wisp of primordial spirit, and he couldn't help but frown.
He had guessed that the primordial spirit of this Hongtai Daozun would be very troublesome, but he did not expect it to be this troublesome.
After the recent test, he discovered that even if he poured his entire primordial spirit into it, he might not be able to completely obliterate that primordial spirit.
To annihilate this primordial spirit, brute force might not be successful; other methods must be employed…
He held his whisk, sat cross-legged on the cloud bed and pondered for a while. Then he made up his mind, got up and went to the back mountain, and erected a cloud platform on a cliff with Ganoderma lucidum.
This cloud platform is ninety-nine feet tall, with the number of stars in the celestial sphere engraved around it, and the Yin-Yang Eight Trigrams placed in the center of the platform.
Hu Le stepped onto the altar, went to the center of the altar, set up an incense table, and then placed the whisk on the incense table.
Then he summoned the boy in blue robes and issued a sacred edict.
The boy bowed and took his leave, carrying the talisman as he left the Heavenly Palace, summoning a seven-colored auspicious cloud as he flew towards the heavens.
Before long, they arrived at the Gale Layer.
The boundless gale howled in, its winds were bone-chilling and soul-crushing, turning mortals to ashes instantly, and even true immortals would have to shed a layer of skin if they were blown by the wind.
However, the boy in green took the wind as normal, and before the strong wind could blow, the talisman in his hand emitted a clear light.
The gale was instantly obliterated by the clear light.
The boy ascended and easily passed through the Gale Layer. After flying for a while, he appeared in the Thunderfire Layer.
Clusters of lightning and fire, powerful enough to incinerate everything and destroy the heavens and the earth, surged towards him, but before they could even get close, they were instantly reduced to nothingness by the clear light emanating from the talisman...
And so, he made his way to the Heavenly Court.
Over the years, the Heavenly Emperor and his wife have long since survived their final tribulation. They have not only returned to the Heavenly Court but have also once again ascended to the throne of the Jade Emperor.
This time, upon their return after the tribulation, the ascension was not just for the couple, but for their entire family.
After returning from their ordeal in the mortal realm, the couple not only gained seven daughters, but Haotian also gained a younger sister named Yaoji.
When the couple achieved their goal and ascended to heaven, they took their daughter and sister with them. This can be considered the first case in the primordial world where one person attained enlightenment and all their relatives and children ascended to heaven together...
After returning to Heaven, the couple secluded themselves in the Jade Pool to cultivate in order to regain their former spiritual power.
The power of the Heavenly Court was still in the hands of other emperors, with the Ziwei Emperor being the most prominent.
Therefore, after arriving in the Heavenly Court, the boy in green did not seek an audience with the Jade Emperor and his wife, but went directly to see the Purple Emperor.
Upon meeting Ziwei, he immediately read out the sage's edict.
After receiving the order, Ziwei saw the boy off, then summoned a group of subordinate gods and gave them commands...
...
Tiandao Palace.
Hu Le sat cross-legged on the altar, closing his eyes to meditate. Suddenly, a thought struck him, and he looked up at the sky. He saw that the originally bright and sunny sky had suddenly darkened, and then countless stars burst forth.
In the rich starlight, one star after another lit up, turning the entire sky into a silvery white.
The next instant, boundless starlight descended, enveloping the entire sky above the back mountain of the Heavenly Dao Palace.
The stars on the execution platform beneath Hu Le also lit up one after another.
In an instant, the starlight falling from the sky began to gather on the Dharma platform.
Hu Le stood up, and suddenly several star banners appeared in his hand. He casually tossed them, and the banners flew out in all directions, landing around the incense table on the surrounding altars.
Hu Le raised his hand and pointed, and the whisk that was originally placed on the incense table floated up into the air and hung in mid-air.
He communicated with the restrictions within the Star Banners in his mind, and all the Star Banners trembled simultaneously, causing the surging starlight in the world to immediately converge into the Star Banners.
After circulating within the banner, it transformed into clusters of destructive power.
The banners fluttered repeatedly, and the power of destruction transformed into beams of silver light that entered the whisk.
The whisk immediately released streams of purple energy, automatically resisting the onslaught of the destructive starlight.
"Still struggling?!"
Hu Le raised his hand and pointed, releasing a beam of innate Yin-Yang chaotic divine light that swept around the purple qi and shattered it.
If Daoist Hongtai were still alive, and he were to activate his whisk, Hu Le would probably only be able to defeat this mass of purple energy by summoning a creation treasure like the Chaos Bell.
But now that Daoist Hongtai has perished, and the whisk has also been struck by the Heaven-Opening Axe, its spiritual essence has been greatly damaged. How could the purple aura released by the remaining spiritual essence possibly withstand Hu Le's full-force attack...
As the purple aura dissipated, beams of destructive starlight, no longer obstructed, plunged into the whisk.
Hu Le sat down again. After a thousand years, Hu Le felt that the time was about right. He raised his hand and pointed to the sky. Suddenly, three thunderclaps rang out in the heavens.
Upon hearing the thunder, the Ziwei Emperor, who was originally sitting in the Heavenly Palace, immediately issued another order.
After the order was relayed, the stars above the Heavenly Palace disappeared into the void in a short while, and the starlight in the sky vanished into nothingness.
A great sun once again hung in the sky, radiating boundless golden light...
Hu Le then escaped his primordial spirit, transforming into a wisp of pure energy that entered the whisk, and then flew all the way to the depths of the spiritual treasure's origin.
After being constantly washed away by the destructive starlight, the spiritual energy within the whisk was almost completely worn away. The originally dense purple aura lost its color and turned into a cloud of watery mist.
As for the primordial spirit imprint of Daoist Hongtai, having lost the nourishment and replenishment of spiritual energy, its form has become much more hazy, as if it might dissipate with a gentle breeze.
Even so, Hu Le dared not take it lightly, for the cultivation level of this Hongtai Daozun was simply too profound.
He pushed up his hair ornament, and a cloud of merit and celebration rose above his head, releasing streams of mysterious yellow energy that swirled around his body.
A chaotic bell appeared in his hand, from which wisps of chaotic energy flowed...
