The burly man, transformed from the white divine ox, wore a cloak and held the baby tightly in his arms. He slowly walked out of the divine mountain in the heavens on a magnificent, colorful auspicious cloud.
Its cold gaze swept over the people who remained, and a hint of anger flashed in its eyes, especially when it saw the Xuanzhen Sect Leader and the others.
It glared at the crowd, cursing inwardly, "These bastards are courting death! Don't they know their master has already shown them mercy?"
Upon hearing Bai Niu's rebuke, the Xuanzhen Sect Leader and other sect leaders' expressions instantly turned extremely ugly.
They were all important figures in their respective sects, either the leaders of major sects or the supreme elders of their sects, whose status was extremely noble in this world.
Normally, wherever I go, I am treated with deference and respect; I have never suffered such humiliation.
However, when they recalled the methods Hu Le had used to send them out, and the disappearance of the Black Lotus Demon Ancestor, their mood suddenly became heavy, and an indescribable sense of helplessness welled up in their hearts.
"That's enough!" Fairy Qiongyao sighed first, glared fiercely at the white ox, then lunged downwards and transformed into a streak of light, disappearing into the distance.
Upon seeing this, the Xuanzhen Sect Leader shook his head, summoned a lucky cloud, and departed.
Seeing this, Minghe and Nanjiang did not insist and immediately transformed into light and disappeared.
Finally, the White Bone Demon and the others also retreated.
Next, only the Peach Mountain Ancestor and the Peach Branch Immortal remained.
Speaking of which, this chosen one was born at the foot of Wantao Mountain and should have been a disciple of their Peach Immortal Path. However, things took many twists and turns, and despite their efforts, he was still taken away by someone else.
The two of them felt extremely frustrated at that moment.
The Peach Mountain Ancestor stared grimly at the white ox and the Chosen One in the sky, his heart filled with anger and resentment.
He gritted his teeth and whispered, "We've been working on this for so long, are we just going to stand by and watch this kid get taken away?"
Peach Blossom Immortal shook his head helplessly and sighed, "Sect Leader, things have come to this point, and we are powerless to change anything. That fellow is too powerful; we simply cannot contend with him."
Besides, since the chosen one has already fallen into someone else's hands, continuing to entangle ourselves will only bring us trouble. We might as well give up now.
Upon hearing this, the Peach Mountain Patriarch showed a hint of pain on his face, but ultimately nodded in agreement.
He knew that continuing the fight was pointless for them and might even lead to their own demise.
So, with a face full of resentment and anger, he turned and left.
As Peach Blossom Immortal watched his sect leader's departing figure, he couldn't help but feel a sense of loss.
He knew that losing the Chosen One was undoubtedly a major loss for Tao Xian Dao.
However, they had no choice but to accept this reality. If they wanted to survive this massacre, they had to find new opportunities.
With the departure of the Peach Mountain Ancestor and the Peach Branch Immortal, peace was finally restored outside the sacred mountain.
The white bull and the chosen one in the sky gradually disappeared into the distance, leaving behind a silent sky.
After driving away all the immortals and demons, the white ox carried the baby all the way back to Wantao Mountain.
Upon arriving in town, he returned the baby to the Du couple, who were deeply grateful...
Hu Le, in the celestial mountain, waved his hand, helping to conceal the secret of heaven from the infant.
He then ordered the white ox to stay at the foot of Wantao Mountain to look after the baby and ensure its healthy growth.
Hu Le, on the other hand, chose to settle down in Tianwai Shenshan.
While waiting for the baby to grow into adulthood and for the opportune moment to guide him into the path, he also silently began to comprehend the Great Dao.
Hu Le was neither concerned about the impending catastrophe in this world nor did he want to get involved.
For the next few years, Hu Le lived on Tianwai Shenshan without ever stepping out of it.
Outside of Wantao Mountain, Xuan Du's reincarnation, under the secret care of the white ox, also grew up smoothly.
This reincarnated being was given the name Du Xuan by Master Du.
In this way, it seems as if everything is predetermined.
He possessed unparalleled destiny and displayed astonishing talent and perseverance from a young age. He not only had a photographic memory but was also deeply interested in the mysterious path of immortality.
However, without Hu Le's intervention, he did not awaken his past life memories, nor did he know that he was the reincarnation of Xuan Du.
Of course, although Hu Le concealed the secret, the Xuanzhen Sect Leader and Fairy Qiongyao already knew of this child's existence.
Therefore, this person's identity is not a secret to some people in this world.
Over the years, many people have learned of Du Xuan's existence through the words of the Xuanzhen Sect Leader and others, coveting his fortune and attempting to kidnap him.
However, whenever someone tried to approach Du Xuan, the White Ox would quietly appear and easily send them away.
Of course, if the person who comes is someone he finds agreeable, he will only give them a minor punishment as a warning, and in the end, he will spare their life and let them leave.
But if he's in a bad mood, or if he doesn't like something, he won't hold back and will simply take drastic measures.
Over the years, he has casually crushed quite a few cultivators from this world.
Time flies, and year after year, spring comes and goes, autumn goes and returns. Before he knew it, Du Xuan had grown to be ten years old.
Meanwhile, in the divine mountain beyond the heavens, Hu Le suddenly stopped cultivating, a thought stirring in his mind, as if he had gained some enlightenment.
He closed his eyes, did some quick calculations, and Du Xuan's life trajectory over the years immediately appeared in his mind, clearly visible.
"Hmm, it's almost time!"
He muttered to himself, then extended a finger and flicked it lightly. A beam of clear light flew from his fingertip, turning into a streak of light and disappearing into the air.
This beam of light, like a shooting star streaking across the sky, left the Heavenly Divine Mountain, traversed the clouds and the void, and finally landed above Mount Wantao.
At this moment, the white ox is fast asleep in a cave on Wantao Mountain, as if it has entered a dreamland.
However, suddenly, he felt uneasy, as if something was about to happen.
He woke up with a start, his eyes snapping open. He jumped up from the stone bed and stared wide-eyed at the cave entrance.
The next instant, a ray of clear light shot in from outside the cave and arrived in front of him.
He scooped up the glimmer of light in his hand and looked down at his palm.
At this moment, the clear light had condensed and transformed into a hazy jade talisman.
He released a divine thought into the jade talisman, and a message unfolded in his mind.
After he read the information, the jade talisman shattered silently, turning into wisps of clear light that dissipated.
He knelt down facing the direction of the divine mountain beyond the heavens, bowed on the ground, and prayed, "Rest assured, sir, I know what to do..."
After he finished praying, he got up from the ground, sat back on the stone bed, and began to ponder...
