Upon hearing Hu Le's invitation, the three of them hesitated.
They were scared!
Fearing that if they refused, Hu Le would immediately turn on them and kill them all...
"What? What are you afraid of? You should know how many people in the primordial world want to join my Heavenly Court but don't have the chance. What do you have to worry about?"
"My Lord, it's not that we're unwilling to serve you, but rather that our cultivation is too low to be worthy of your recruitment!" the God of Longevity hurriedly explained, fearing that Hu Le might misunderstand them.
Hu Le shook his head and chuckled, "Since you know your cultivation is insufficient, you should work hard to cultivate in the future."
However, I observe that the methods you three use to cultivate Qi are rather crude. Even if you cultivate for hundreds of millions of years, you will find it difficult to attain the Dao fruit in the future.
"My Heavenly Court has mastered all the Qi-refining methods of the primordial world. If you three are willing to join, I can personally teach you the finest methods. In the future, even if we don't expect you to attain the Primordial Dao Fruit, you will still have a very good chance of reaching the Great Luo Realm."
Hu Le offered a tempting offer at the opportune moment.
These three individuals are blessed with good fortune, prosperity, and longevity. If they can join Penglai Immortal Island, not only they themselves but the entire island will benefit from it...
Finally, after discussing it for a while, the three of them agreed to Hu Le's invitation.
Not to mention that Hu Le's promised Qi cultivation method would grant them the Heavenly Court's protection, sparing them from many calamities—a tremendous benefit in itself...
"Good! Good! Good!"
Seeing that the three had agreed, Hu Le said "good" three times, then passed on a scroll of Qi cultivation method to them, explained it to them, and then got up and left.
Before leaving, he instructed the three that once they had taken human form, they could move to Penglai Island. If he was not on the island at that time, they only needed to find the Treasure Offering Heavenly Lord and give his name.
"Yes, yes, yes..."
The three of them were completely absorbed in the Qi cultivation method passed down by Hu Le, and absentmindedly agreed.
"Enough, you all better take care of yourselves."
Hu Le didn't take it seriously. He rose into the air on clouds and disappeared into the distance in an instant.
The three immediately sat down in a circle and began to study the Great Law together, hoping to transform into human form as soon as possible...
Hu Le flew eastward for tens of thousands of miles, but still did not see the Eastern Pole Jianmu. However, he was not in a hurry. After all, he had just received the Three Stars of Fortune, Prosperity and Longevity, which greatly increased his luck and put him in a very good mood.
Just as he was leisurely walking along, three colorful clouds suddenly drifted by in front of him, and a gentle breeze swirled among them, causing the clouds to drift and sway in the sky.
With the path ahead blocked by clouds, Hu Le stopped his auspicious cloud and gazed intently. He saw that both the three clouds and the gentle breeze were radiating wisdom, clearly indicating that they had awakened their intelligence.
However, these clouds have no foundation, and the wind has no fixed nature; their creation is unpredictable. If nothing unexpected happens, they will inevitably suffer some calamities in the future.
"What is your intention in blocking my path to the clouds without cause?"
Seeing that neither the colorful clouds nor the gentle breeze lingered near him, Hu Le immediately asked a question.
A gentle, soothing voice suddenly drifted from the largest of the colorful clouds.
"Please forgive us, senior. We, your four siblings, have seen your profound cultivation and extraordinary demeanor, so we have taken the liberty of blocking your path and have a request to make."
"What is it?"
Hu Le vaguely guessed the identities of the people, but did not show any impatience.
"Since we were born with intelligence, we have been determined to seek the true Dharma. We have drifted for hundreds of millions of miles in the East Sea, searching for the Dao for tens of thousands of years, but we have never been able to find the way in. Today we have the honor of meeting you, senior. Please have pity on our difficult search for the Dao and do not hesitate to teach us."
"May I have your name?"
Hu Le neither agreed nor disagreed, but simply asked for her name.
"Junior Yunxiao."
Hu Le immediately smiled. This was a future disciple of the Jie Sect, the beloved disciple of the Tongtian Sect Master. How could he dare to steal someone else's love and create karma with the future sage?
“I know your intentions, but your fate with me is shallow, how can you become my disciples?”
“This…” Yunxiao’s tone was somewhat urgent.
"Please have mercy, senior!" A man's voice came from the wind.
"Please have mercy, senior."
"Your senior is merciful."
A woman's voice also came from the other two clouds.
It was obvious that the four of them had not yet condensed their primordial spirits and could not manifest physical forms like the Three Star Gods of Fortune, Prosperity and Longevity.
"Alas, it's not that I'm heartless, it's just that your destiny doesn't lie with me, but in the future. If I were to take you in now, it wouldn't be helping you, but rather harming you!" Hu Le sighed.
"Hey! If you're not willing to take us siblings in, just say so. Why use those future things as an excuse?" A girl's dissatisfied voice rang out from the smallest cloud.
"Bixiao! Shut up! How dare you be so rude to your senior!" Yunxiao hurriedly scolded.
"Senior, my younger sister's words were unintentional and did not mean to offend you. Please forgive her."
Hu Le smiled indifferently. These four were, after all, his younger brother Duobao's future junior sisters. Even if he didn't care about the monks, he couldn't hold a grudge over a single sentence.
"Enough, Yunxiao, you don't need to be like this. Why would I bother with a child who hasn't even been born yet?"
Hu Le smiled and comforted you, "You are indeed not destined to be with me, but if you truly wish to obtain the true methods of the Great Dao, although I cannot teach you, I can point you to a place, however..."
"But what? Please be frank, senior," Yunxiao asked eagerly.
"However, the journey is long and fraught with danger. Without great perseverance, good fortune, and auspicious circumstances, it would be difficult to reach that place."
"With the great path before us, why should we be timid and hesitant? Please, senior, speak frankly."
"Good! Go west from the East Sea. Tens of thousands of miles away from here, there is a Kunlun Mountain. Three great supernatural beings live on the mountain, named Pangu and the Three Pure Ones."
These three are not only incredibly powerful, but also profoundly knowledgeable in Taoist arts, deeply understanding the mysteries of the Great Dao. If you are fortunate enough to meet them and become their disciples, your future on the Great Dao will surely be bright.”
"Compared to you, Senior, who is superior?" Bixiao asked bluntly.
Hu Le waved his hands repeatedly, "Hehe...you little rascal, don't talk nonsense. If word gets out, people will laugh at you. I'm just a junior to them, how dare I compare myself to them?"
He wasn't being modest; rather, he was self-aware.
He's only at the thirty-second level of Qi Refining, not even at the Taiyi level yet, how could he dare compare himself to those three...
After receiving Hu Le's guidance, the four of them stopped bothering him and, after expressing their gratitude, embarked on their journey to seek the Dao...
I hope you have a safe journey!
Hu Le watched as the gentle breeze, carrying clouds, headed west, silently offering them a blessing in his heart.
The journey from the East China Sea to the Kunlun Mountains is long and arduous, with high mountains and dangerous waters.
They might inevitably encounter some setbacks along the way, but all four of them are blessed with good fortune, so even if they encounter danger, they should be able to turn misfortune into good fortune and not lose their lives...
