With Hu Le's help, the fire turtle finally escaped the cage it had set for itself. Feeling that the world was vast, it couldn't help but feel a little proud.
It bowed to Hu Le, expressing its gratitude, but its smugness was palpable.
What is it so proud of?
Of course, he was proud of his unparalleled scheming. No matter how powerful Hu Le was, he was still outmaneuvered and became a tool in his hands.
They intended to kill it, but instead of succeeding, they helped it.
Thinking about this, it naturally felt a little smug...
However, it is clear that it was too complacent.
At this moment, both Hu Le himself and Qiong Cai beside him guessed some of the truth of the matter.
If the fire turtle were to be open and honest and come directly to him for help, Hu Le might not mind lending it a hand.
But it insisted on being clever and dragged him into its scheme, which Hu Le couldn't tolerate...
After thanking them, the fire turtle saw that the two were expressionless and felt a strange unease. It was about to ride away in its escape light to find a place to cultivate and form a new Dao body.
Hu Le, however, would not allow it to leave so triumphantly.
Hu Le responded indifferently to the fire turtle's gratitude, saying, "You're thanking me a little too soon..."
As he spoke, he flicked his finger, releasing a faint glint of sword light.
The sword light was as gentle as a breeze, and in the blink of an eye it arrived in front of the fire turtle's primordial spirit. Before the turtle could react, the sword light gently circled around it once.
"ah……"
A shrill scream rang out, and the fire turtle's primordial spirit was immediately severed in two.
Seeing this, Qiongcai remained expressionless, clearly not surprised at all, and inwardly cursed the fire turtle for being stupid.
They dared to scheme against this person without even considering his identity; their death today is entirely deserved...
Fortunately, Hu Le was ultimately merciful. Although he severed the fire turtle's primordial spirit, he spared its true essence, allowing it to fly away and enter the Netherworld to await its next destiny...
Qiongcai looked at the fire turtle corpse not far away and secretly shook her head.
Just now, when the fire turtle escaped from its physical body, it took away all its essence and magical power, leaving only a useless empty shell inside its body.
If the tortoise shell were still there, it might be able to be collected and refined into a decent defensive magical artifact.
Unfortunately, the tortoise shell had already been shattered into countless pieces by the Heavenly Thunder, and all its spiritual energy had been lost.
Even if you were to piece it back together and refine it into a magical treasure, it wouldn't have much use; it would be like a chicken rib—tasteless to eat but a pity to throw away…
Hu Le collected the fragments of Pangu's primordial spirit, but did not stay long in the Luanfeng clan. He was soon personally escorted out of the clan's territory by Qiongcai.
When Qiongcai returned to her clan's territory, she looked at the Spirit Lake, now a scorched wasteland, and shook her head with a bitter smile. This was truly a disaster that came out of nowhere...
Then she remembered the person she had just seen off, and even though she felt a little uncomfortable, she didn't dare to show it.
Then, her thoughts shifted. Considering Hu Le's power and influence, she began to think about how to establish a relationship with him.
She quickly remembered that the master had several female disciples. She had heard that the eldest disciple, Guan Kong, had recently reached the Great Luo realm, which was clearly a case of a great master producing a great disciple.
She's now considering sending two of her clansmen to Guan Kong as transportation...
Hu Le was about to fly away from the Undying Volcano, and he probably never imagined that in such a short time, Qiong Cai had already set her sights on his eldest disciple, Guan Kong.
Of course, even if he knew, he wouldn't stop it; after all, a free mount is a must-have...
Hu Le left the Undying Volcano, intending to find a place with relatively abundant spiritual energy to refine the Pangu Primordial Spirit.
Soon, he found a spiritual cave near the Undying Volcano, built a temporary cave dwelling, and moved in.
Another hundred years passed, and he finally succeeded in refining this fragment of Pangu's primordial spirit.
As the Pangu Primordial Spirit Imprint within his Purple Mansion became more and more complete, Hu Le's sensitivity to other Primordial Spirit fragments became increasingly acute.
This time, he went directly to the Western Sea, where he sensed a large fragment of the primordial spirit.
The scenery of the West Sea is no different from the other three seas, but in terms of spiritual energy, it is the thinnest of the four seas, even less than the North Sea, where most of the ocean is frozen all year round.
However, although it is slightly less spiritually powerful, it is the largest of the four seas in terms of ocean area, even surpassing the East China Sea by a considerable margin.
Hu Le arrived above the Western Sea, and with a mysterious intuition, found a direction and flew away on auspicious clouds.
Before long, he arrived at the depths of the Western Sea. Because the Western Sea was quite desolate and lacked spiritual energy, Hu Le did not see many Taoist temples along the way.
Of course, the Western Sea is one of the four seas, with a vast area. It is inhabited by some aquatic creatures with considerable cultivation, but they generally live on the seabed and are mostly ruled by the Western Sea Dragon Palace...
Hu Le urged the auspicious cloud to continue deeper into the sea. After flying tens of thousands of miles, a vast island finally appeared in front of them.
The island is covered with towering peaks and undulating mountains. Although it is called an island, it can actually be considered a large continent in the Western Sea.
Hu Lezong arrived above the island and stopped above one of the mountain peaks.
This mountain is the most spiritually abundant among all the peaks on the island, and the spiritual energy in some valleys has even condensed into wispy mists.
It appears that the spiritual energy it contains is in no way inferior to some of the sacred mountains and blessed lands in the East.
"Such a desolate Western Sea, yet it contains such a wondrous place!"
Hu Le sighed and swept his divine sense across the mountain, discovering that there were quite a few cultivators there.
It's not surprising when you think about it. He's been flying in the Western Sea for so long, passing by many islands, and this mountain is the most abundant in spiritual energy.
No wonder practitioners would choose this place to establish their training grounds...
Hu Le sensed something and discovered that a primordial spirit of Pangu was hidden inside the mountain.
Therefore, he was not surprised that this mountain had such a rich spiritual energy.
After all, the fragments of Pangu's primordial spirit are extraordinary. They can not only help people comprehend the Great Dao of Pangu, but also manipulate creation, change the natural order of heaven and earth, transform malevolent energy into harmony, and attract spiritual energy to nurture spiritual caves.
"Ah! This place isn't bad, what a pity!"
Hu Le sighed inwardly, knowing that once the fragments of Pangu's primordial spirit were taken away, this place would no longer be able to retain its fortune, and its spiritual energy would gradually become thin and eventually dry up.
He would not have wanted to destroy this blessed place for spiritual practice unless absolutely necessary.
However, the fragments of Pangu's primordial spirit hidden in the mountains are crucial to his future ability to become the true Pangu, leaving him no room for leniency...
He stood on the clouds, raised his purple bamboo staff, and gently swung it down towards the mountain peak. A huge blade of energy, like a sword aura, flew out and instantly disappeared into the mountain.
In an instant, the majestic mountain peak seemed to have been cleaved in two by a giant axe, each half falling to either side...
