However, although this person only has a soul left and cannot leave the Immortal Palace, Hu Le could still tell that this person must have had at least the cultivation level of Taiyi in his previous life.
Once one reaches the Taiyi realm, let alone a single divine soul, even a wisp of divine thought is beyond the resistance of ordinary cultivators.
"Young man! Since you've come here by chance, why are you leaving without even coming in for a seat?" The Taoist's smile was very warm, but his eyes were quite strange, as if he were examining Hu Le from head to toe like he was looking at merchandise.
Hu Le smiled and waved his hand, "You're too kind, sir. This is a den of dragons and tigers; how could I dare to set foot here so easily?"
"A dragon's den and a tiger's lair? Hahaha..." The Taoist laughed loudly, "You're quite the joker. Since you're unwilling to come in, then I'll come out myself."
As he spoke, his figure vanished into nothingness, and he suddenly appeared outside the hall, invisibly cutting off Hu Le's path.
The next moment, he raised his hand and pointed, and a flash of light appeared on the ground, suddenly revealing a stone table and two stone stools in front of him.
"Millions of years have passed in the blink of an eye, and you are still the first to set foot in my Yunhua Heavenly Palace."
"I haven't spoken to anyone for many years. Now that you've entered, young friend, why don't you say something to me?" With that, he walked to the stone table and sat down on a stone bench.
At the same time, he reached out and brushed his hand across the table, where a jade pot and two gold cups appeared.
"Since you have invited me, how could I refuse?"
As Hu Le spoke, he walked to the stone table, lifted his robe, and sat down.
When the Taoist heard Hu Le address him as "fellow Daoist," a hint of disdain flickered across the Taoist's face, but it vanished in an instant before he regained his gentle smile.
"May I ask your name, friend?"
Hu Le didn't seem to have noticed the change in the man's expression. While asking the question, he picked up the jade pot and poured the contents into the cup in front of Qingyuan.
As the pot tilted, a stream of clear celestial dew flowed from the spout and slowly poured into the golden cup.
After pouring a cup for the Taoist priest, he poured one for himself.
"Young friend, you may simply call me Qingyuan." The Taoist raised his golden cup, took a small sip, and then asked Hu Le, "And what shall you call me, young friend?"
"I am Fuli," Hu Le said, without touching the cup in front of him.
Although he couldn't discern anything special about the elixir, he wouldn't drink this person's things casually.
Qingyuan didn't take it seriously, only sneering inwardly, "This kid! What's the use of being so cautious now? If he were truly careful, why would he rashly step into my Yunhua Immortal Palace..."
"May I ask what brings you to my celestial palace, young friend Fu Li?" Qingyuan asked leisurely, as if everything was under his control and he wasn't afraid that Hu Le might cause any trouble...
Hu Le honestly replied, "I have come here only for my own opportunity."
"Oh? I never imagined that you would have such a connection with my celestial palace." Qingyuan smiled slightly. "But it makes sense. In this vast Hundred Thousand Mountains, it is indeed quite a connection that you were able to find this place amidst the boundless mountains."
Hu Le shook his head and said, "Alas! I thought so too, but after meeting you, I realized that this opportunity is probably not a good one!"
"hehe……"
Qingyuan let out another soft laugh.
"Whether this is a good or bad connection, since you've already received it, young friend, there's no way you can refuse it now."
"Hmm, it seems that's indeed the case. I can only endure it now," Hu Le replied indifferently.
Qingyuan smiled and downed the celestial dew in his cup in one gulp, then suddenly sighed.
He is currently only in a spiritual state, although he has manifested a human form.
However, he could never truly experience the taste. The celestial dew was instantly refined after he drank it, so he couldn't taste it at all. He could only savor it through his past memories...
Why do you sigh, fellow Daoist?
"Alas! I am merely lamenting that soon I will finally be able to truly taste the elixir of immortality."
"Soon after?"
"Yes, soon."
"How long was that?"
Pressed by Hu Le for answers, Qingyuan's warm and gentle smile finally vanished, and a cold glint slowly appeared in his eyes.
He replied, enunciating each word clearly: "Not long, right now!"
As he spoke, he suddenly dissolved into a wisp of pure energy and shot towards Hu Le.
The two sat facing each other, no more than three feet apart, and the speed at which the pure energy shot out was extremely fast.
In a flash, it pounced on Hu Le's face.
Hu Le seemed to be startled by this sudden change, and stood there stunned for a moment.
The next instant, the pure energy that Qingyuan had transformed into directly parted his brow and entered Hu Le's sea of consciousness.
The sea of consciousness within the Purple Mansion Spirit Platform is a void.
After Qingyuan barged in, he immediately transformed back into human form.
"Fellow Daoist! What do you mean by this?"
Hu Le's primordial spirit suddenly appeared from his sea of consciousness and questioned Qing Yuan.
Qingyuan chuckled and said, “Young man! I have taken a liking to your physical body. Please give it to me, and I will remember this kindness and virtue forever!”
"Fellow Daoist, are you perhaps joking?"
Hu Le knew exactly what this fiend was planning; it was clearly an attempt to possess him.
Although he had some suspicions, he still felt somewhat amused and exasperated at the moment.
Qingyuan is really blind!
Of all people to possess, they had to choose him.
This left him speechless...
"What, now that things have come to this, you think you can still refuse?!"
Seeing that Hu Le had reached such a state, Qingyuan realized that he was still so calm, even if he was just putting on a brave face, which was already quite remarkable.
However, Hu Le's stubborn attitude of not admitting defeat until the very end still displeased him somewhat...
Hu Le's primordial spirit shook his head at this moment, "It's not that I want to refuse, but I'm afraid that you don't have the strength!"
"What? Who do you think you are? Just a mere wandering immortal."
"You must know, in the primordial era, even rogue immortals like you wouldn't have the qualifications to stand before me!"
Qingyuan's face was now filled with contempt.
He was not exaggerating. At his peak, he was the Taiyi True Lord, a powerful figure in the Heavenly Realm.
Such wandering immortals were nothing more than ants to him. Let alone standing in front of him, even a glance from them would be a blessing for them...
Hu Le suddenly chuckled softly, and a ball of mysterious yellow divine light suddenly shone from the depths of the void behind him.
In an instant, a powerful and incredible aura emanated from the Xuanhuang divine light, instantly filling the entire Purple Mansion Spirit Platform.
Qingyuan, who had been leisurely and self-satisfied, thinking that everything was under his control, suddenly froze, his whole body frozen by an inexplicable force, unable to move anymore...
