With the blessing of a primordial primordial energy, the immortal tree, which was about to melt into the purple flames, was completely stabilized.
Seeing that Daoist Ran Deng, Immortal Weng of the South Pole, and Yun Zhongzi had all made their moves, only Guang Chengzi and Chi Jingzi from the Jade Void Palace remained to make their move.
Hu Le glanced at the two of them and asked with a smile, "Fellow Daoists, now it's just you two left. If you don't make a move now, when will you?"
Guang Chengzi and Chi Jingzi exchanged a glance and both shook their heads helplessly.
"Hehe, we are not very knowledgeable, so we won't embarrass ourselves. Let's see how you all perform."
Guang Chengzi chuckled and waved his hand with a smile.
He and Chi Jingzi had only been in the sect for a short time, and they hadn't learned much of the Jade Void Palace's supernatural abilities and techniques. If they made a mistake in their actions at this time, wouldn't it make them seem like they weren't skilled enough?
Hu Le nodded slightly upon hearing this, showing no intention of forcing them to take action.
After a while, the immortal tree stood tall and vibrant in the flames, showing no signs of destruction.
The Taoist Ran Deng laughed first, "Enough! Fellow Daoist Dongji's great technique is indeed extraordinary."
Before he finished speaking, he reached out and summoned a Pure World Glazed True Flame, which separated from the purple flames and landed on his fingertip.
Without the Glazed True Fire, the color of the Chaotic Purple True Flame instantly faded considerably.
"Fellow Daoist, your methods are excellent!"
Yun Zhongzi also smiled and said something, and followed the example of Daoist Ran Deng by withdrawing the Six Ding Divine Fire.
The Antarctic Immortal chuckled, expressed his admiration, and withdrew the remaining true fire.
Although Hu Le ultimately prevailed, he didn't appear particularly smug. With a flick of his finger, the immortal tree burst forth with bursts of radiant light.
As the rosy clouds and auspicious light flowed, flower buds began to sprout on the branches.
A gentle breeze blows, the flower buds open, bloom in full glory, and then wither away in an instant, bearing fruit.
The fruit, in the blink of an eye, becomes plump and ripe.
It seemed that Hu Le had done this on purpose, as there were five fruits on the tree, which corresponded exactly to the five people in the Jade Void Palace.
The ripe fruit has a mottled nine colors on its surface and is about the size of a fist, but it does not emit any fruity fragrance.
Hu Le waved to the boy standing behind the Old Man of the South Pole.
The boy hurriedly came to his side, "What are your orders, Immortal Master?"
"Go and knock the fruit off the tree so that the fellow Daoists can have a taste."
"Here you are."
The boy accepted the order and carried the tray to the tree. He looked up at the location of the fruit, then floated up and went to the fruit closest to him.
He reached out to pick it, but the moment his fingertips touched the fruit, it fell off the tree on its own...
The boy circled the immortal tree, picked all the fruit from it, and then placed them in front of Daoist Ran Deng and the others.
"Please, everyone, have some food." Hu Le smiled and gestured for them to have some.
The Taoist Ran Deng glanced at the fruit on the plate, and suddenly chuckled to himself. He simply held it in his hand and played with it, without eating it immediately.
The Old Man of the South Pole glanced at it, but didn't move at all.
The remaining three all took the fruit in their hands.
At Hu Le's call, Chi Jingzi, curious about the taste of the fruit, brought it to his mouth and took a bite.
"puff!"
A soft sound, like a bubble bursting.
The fruit in Chi Jingzi's hand suddenly turned into a wisp of air and disappeared.
Upon seeing this, Yun Zhongzi and Guang Chengzi, who were holding fruit to their mouths, both stopped.
The next moment, I suddenly felt my hand lighten, and when I looked down, it was empty.
this?
The feel and weight of that fruit were exactly the same as the real fruit!
Otherwise, the three of them wouldn't have failed to notice...
At the same time, the two fruits in front of the Antarctic Immortal and the Burning Lamp Taoist also vanished into nothingness.
Just as the fruit disappeared, the immortal tree swayed, its leaves fell off automatically, turning into wisps of smoke, and its trunk began to wither.
In the blink of an eye, the several-foot-tall immortal tree turned back into a sapling, and then back into a seed with a chaotic color flowing through it.
Hu Le waved his hand, and the seed fell into his palm.
In a flash, the seed transformed into a round and plump fruit, exactly the same as the fruit that had been placed in front of everyone, without the slightest difference.
What is the explanation for this?
Hu Le held the fruit in one hand and asked the crowd with a smile.
Yun Zhongzi, Guang Chengzi, and Chi Jingzi turned their faces away, too ashamed to speak.
The Old Man of the South Pole said, "Yin and Yang are emptiness, the Five Elements are emptiness, the Primordial Chaos is emptiness..."
The Taoist Ran Deng then replied, "All is emptiness."
"good!"
Hu Le flipped his hand, and the fruit in his palm fell to the ground, instantly vanishing without a trace.
The field fell silent for a moment.
A short while later.
Guang Chengzi suddenly asked, "Is this the Great Dao, Brother Dao?"
Hu Le merely smiled slightly, but did not answer.
This technique was something he had gained from listening to a group of highly skilled practitioners preach.
It seems that once one reaches the Great Luo Realm and condenses a perfect Dao Seed, one will begin to pursue the concept of "emptiness".
It seems that only by achieving true emptiness can one be considered to have attained perfect enlightenment and be qualified to pursue true primordial chaos.
At that time, Hu Le had already thought of the famous method of severing the three corpses to prove the Dao, which was passed down by the direct line of Xuanmen in later generations.
And isn't the process of severing the three corpses to become the primordial state all about seeking the word "emptiness"?
Or you could say they've been subtracting all along, until finally, there's nothing left to subtract, and they begin to merge with the Great Dao—that's the true fruit of the Dao...
...
Guang Chengzi saw that Hu Le smiled but did not answer, and did not take it to heart.
He raised his cup and laughed, "Well, we have finally witnessed your supernatural powers, which can be described as profound. I admire you and would like to offer you a toast."
Hu Le was quite accommodating this time, raising his glass in welcome and praising the wonders of the Jade Void Dao. The atmosphere gradually became harmonious again, and they began to truly discuss Daoist magic and supernatural powers.
They chatted for a long time before everyone dispersed, thoroughly enjoying themselves.
They each rode away from the lotus pond on golden lotuses.
Once everyone had reached the shore, Daoist Ran Deng pointed his finger, and the entire lotus pond suddenly shone brightly with spiritual energy soaring into the sky.
The next second.
The entire lotus pond rose into the air, and after reaching mid-air, it rapidly shrank, finally transforming into a bowl that landed in the hands of the Taoist Ran Deng.
It turns out that this lotus pond was not real, but rather a primordial spiritual treasure shaped like a bowl.
Hu Le instantly understood; no wonder he hadn't seen any fish in the pond before...
Next, everyone bowed to each other to say goodbye. Hu Le enjoyed the mountain scenery along the way and unknowingly arrived at the foot of Taiqing Peak.
Having been in Kunlun Mountain for so long, he has never visited Taiqing Peak even once.
Because deep down, he always had a premonition that there was a person or thing hidden within Taiqing Peak that had a great karmic connection with him.
If he goes there, new causes and effects will inevitably arise.
Therefore, when walking in the Kunlun Mountains, he would subconsciously avoid Taiqing Peak...
However, in reality, his intuition was absolutely correct.
Because there is indeed such a person on Taiqing Peak, and he has an immense karmic connection with him, or rather, with his master and disciple lineage...
