The Holy Mother of Wudang received the sacred treasure and was immediately stunned. The next moment, she was overjoyed.
She never expected that Hu Le would be so magnanimous as to return the magical treasure he had obtained to her.
Hu Le glanced at the spirit treasure and found that it had been struggling violently in his hand just moments before, but now that it was in the hands of the Holy Mother Wudang, it had become completely still and obedient.
This treasure was indeed destined for her.
Hu Le sighed inwardly.
"Your Majesty, thank you very much."
Before, the Holy Mother of Wudang called Hu Le "Xuanxiang Daojun". But after Hu Le returned the Lingbao to her, her title was raised to "Shangdi Jun".
"Hehe... We were destined to meet, why thank me?" Hu Le laughed...
After a brief chat, the two women took their leave.
Hu Le watched the silhouette of the Holy Mother of Wudang disappear into the horizon, and recalling the map of salvation and fortune he had just seen, some guesses began to form in his mind.
In later generations, during the Investiture of the Gods, the entire Jie Sect suffered a great defeat, and many of its disciples were either listed on the Investiture of the Gods or captured and taken to the West.
Those disciples of the Jie Sect who went to the West did not fare well either. Some were used as mounts, while others were converted by the two sect leaders and became disciples of the Western Sect.
The once mighty Jie Sect, which attracted countless immortals to pay homage, was ultimately swept away by wind and rain, ending in its destruction.
After that calamity, the Jie Sect was destroyed, and only a few disciples remained.
Among the disciples who escaped this calamity, the one with the highest status was the Holy Mother of Wudang.
As for why the Holy Mother of Wudang was able to escape this calamity, there are many different opinions and various explanations in later generations.
Some say that Taiqing Daoist and Yuanshi Daoist deliberately let Wudang go out of consideration for their past relationship, leaving Tongtian Daoist with a lineage of incense offerings.
Some say that the Holy Mother of Wudang was born with great fortune, naturally avoiding calamities and not having her mind clouded by the calamities, thus enabling her to escape from great tribulations.
There is also a legend that she actually did not escape this calamity.
In the Battle of the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, after she escaped, she was still caught up by the disciples of Jade Void and killed by their scheme.
After her death, her physical body transformed into Mount Wudang. Because of her destiny, the Wudang sect flourished in later generations...
Now, according to Hu Le's guess, it is perhaps because the Holy Mother of Wudang obtained this treasure that can change her luck and ward off evil that she will be able to avoid the calamity when she is conferred the title of god in the future.
Therefore, it's not surprising that she was able to escape when the catastrophe reached its climax...
Unfortunately, these are all Hu Le's guesses, and nothing can be taken seriously.
Besides, what will become of the Jie Sect in the future? Whether the Holy Mother Wudang lives or dies is of little concern to him.
He was too lazy to think too much about it. If he couldn't achieve enlightenment in the future, his fate might not be much better than that of the Holy Mother of Wudang.
After all, if he couldn't achieve the Primordial Chaos realm and just relied on barely surviving, he wouldn't live to see the immeasurable eons...
Hu Le composed himself and got up to continue flying deeper into Fangzhang Island.
Before long, he arrived at a majestic and magnificent immortal mountain. He used his divine sense to scan the mountain and found that the entire mountain seemed to have been swept away.
The precious natural treasures had already been looted, leaving only some ordinary spiritual items.
Seeing this, he was also somewhat moved. The other party had really cleaned it up very well, quite like his old spirit of being high-minded and ambitious.
Since the mountain had already been almost completely looted, he naturally wouldn't be interested in what others had left behind.
So, without lingering any longer, he left the mountain and continued on his way...
After he flew over a vast plain, he suddenly sensed two fluctuations of energy deep within the sea of clouds ahead.
He opened his Dharma Eye and looked through the clouds and mist. He saw two cultivators tumbling and fighting in the sea of clouds hundreds of miles away.
He recognized one of them; he was a disciple of Biyou Palace, and I think his name was Jin Gu Xian.
Hu Le couldn't help but chuckle at the repeated encounters with Biyou Palace disciples. It seemed that ever since he moved to the Heavenly Court, the East Sea had truly become the domain of Biyou Palace disciples.
Of course, this is actually normal. Without the foundation laid at this time, how could there have been the grand spectacle of countless immortals coming to pay homage to the Jie Sect in later generations?
At this time, Jin Gu Xian had only recently entered the sect and had not yet cultivated much of the Shangqing Daoist techniques. His battle with the opposing cultivator looked grand and extremely intense.
But in Hu Le's view, it was nothing more than two chickens fighting.
Let alone him, even if his youngest disciple, Miaozhen, were to make a move, the two of them combined would not be a match for him.
If the eldest disciple, Guan Kong, were to make a move, he could easily crush them with a mere flick of his finger...
Therefore, he didn't bother with their fighting and instead rode the auspicious cloud towards the sea of clouds below. Just as he was about to pass by, he suddenly had a thought.
It turns out that he had been using his divine sense to survey the ground while flying.
At this moment, the divine sense had already discovered a good opportunity and good fortune below.
So he descended the cloud light and landed beside that opportunity.
This is a small pool, about ten feet in circumference. The water looks shallow, but it is a masterpiece of nature, subtly reflecting the wonders of the universe.
The pool appears still and undisturbed, yet its surface is shrouded in wisps of starlight.
"It's actually the Three Lights Divine Water! What a stroke of luck!"
Upon seeing this, Hu Le couldn't help but laugh.
Long ago, he obtained a bottle of Three Lights Divine Water from the Heavenly Treasury. Over the years, the Three Lights Divine Water in the bottle has long been used up.
He had originally planned to take some time to go to the outer heavens to personally collect and refine some, but he never had the time.
Now that he had stumbled upon this pool of the Three Lights Divine Water, he was naturally overjoyed, and it saved him a lot of trouble.
He took out a jade bottle from the purple gourd, uncorked it, and gestured with his right hand towards the pool. The Three Lights Divine Water in the pool instantly transformed into a stream of water and was thrown into the bottle.
Although the jade bottle is not large, it is quite spacious. Even if all the water in the pool were taken into it, it would still not be able to fill the bottle.
Moreover, the inner wall of the jade bottle is engraved with mysterious restrictions that can seal the spiritual energy of the Three Lights Divine Water and keep it intact.
Hu Le quickly drained the water from the pool, leaving only an empty, shallow pit. Then he put away the jade bottle and rode away on auspicious clouds.
Shortly after he left, a beam of light suddenly fell from the sky, and a moment later, a Taoist priest wearing a golden headband appeared by the pool. Looking at the empty pool, he was filled with rage.
"Who's blind! How dare they steal my destiny!"
The Taoist priest was none other than the Golden Hoop Immortal.
Not long ago, while searching for opportunities on the island, he accidentally discovered the Three Lights Divine Water and was so happy he almost jumped for joy.
Just as they were about to acquire the Three Lights Divine Water, things took an unexpected turn. A rogue cultivator from the East Sea happened to come here and took a liking to this pool of Three Lights Divine Water.
The Golden Hoop Immortal immediately invoked the name of Biyou Palace on Jin'ao Island, hoping to scare away the visitors.
Unexpectedly, despite his low level of cultivation, this rogue cultivator had his own background.
They are also a grand-disciple of some ancient narcissus, and this time they were able to enter Fangzhang Island only by following their ancestor...
