Seeing that Hu Le had agreed, Taiyi gave him a few more instructions, then thought that it would be somewhat improper for his disciple to use this to govern Penglai Island.
Therefore, he casually bestowed upon Hu Le the title of "Eastern Divine Lord".
Of course, this is a nominal title, not a real divine position.
However, having gained a title and the Penglai Immortal Island, Hu Le was already quite satisfied.
After he bid farewell to Taiyi and left Tongming Hall, he realized that he had just planted the Longevity Fruit Tree in Yaochi.
If I had known it would be like this, I would have preferred to move back to Penglai Immortal Island, since that would be his training ground from now on.
Hu Le couldn't help but clap his hands, secretly lamenting his miscalculation!
But it's too late to regret it now; the longevity fruit has just been planted and shouldn't be moved easily.
After all, the fruit tree's roots had already fully penetrated into the Heavenly Court's earth veins, silently purifying and refining the spiritual energy. If it were pulled out again, not only would the Heavenly Court's earth veins and spiritual caves be at risk of leakage.
If word gets out, people will laugh at him for being petty.
If you really want to move back to Penglai Island, let's wait for another opportunity.
Besides, it's not like he can never return to the Heavenly Court. Whether he falls in Yaochi or Penglai Island, it's not that different.
After all, this was his treasure. Apart from Taiyi and his wife, who in the Heavenly Court would dare to touch his things...?
After considering it over, he made a decision and put the matter of the immortality tree out of his mind...
Upon returning to his palace, Hu Le summoned the Treasure-Offering Heavenly Lord and explained the situation. The Treasure-Offering Heavenly Lord was overjoyed and hurriedly packed his bags, happily following Hu Le to Penglai Immortal Island.
The shadow of war has dissipated over Penglai Island, leaving behind a scene of devastation, but also a semblance of tranquility.
When the Heavenly Court left, it left behind several thousand soldiers to guard this place.
The two set foot on Penglai Island, immediately summoned the local garrison commander, conveyed Taiyi's orders, and sent him to lead his troops back to the Heavenly Court.
As a result, the island returned to its former tranquility.
"Third brother, this place will be our territory from now on!"
Hu Le was delighted and led the Treasure-Presenting Heavenly Lord on a tour of the island.
Penglai Island is composed of thirty-six interconnected islands, forming a vast expanse. Even the combined size of Fangzhang Island and Yingzhou Island might not be half that of Penglai Island.
The island's area is comparable to that of a continent in the vast inland region.
However, most of these areas are supported by the outer island chains, and the core area, that is, the very central island, is only about the size of the Kunlun Mountains...
After wandering around for a while, their initial excitement waned, and they began to feel a headache coming on from the mess in front of them.
To clean up the damage and restore the area to its former state, it would take two people a long time to finish the job.
The task of simply cleansing and repairing those damaged and polluted ley lines is an enormous undertaking.
Just thinking about it made their scalps tingle.
"Gulp!"
"Brother! This... is it a bit much to just say it's between you and me, brothers?" The Treasure Offering Heavenly Lord swallowed hard, his face full of embarrassment.
Hu Le stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, and shook his head, saying, "With just you and me as brothers, I'm afraid... I'm afraid we're a bit out of our depth. The only thing we can do now is to seek help!"
"Where can we find help... Ah! I know!"
The Treasure-Offering Heavenly Lord was taken aback at first, but then he realized what was happening.
Where else can we go?
Of course, we'll go to Heaven!
"Alright, I'll tidy up here first. You go back to the Heavenly Court and visit my master's wife at Yaochi. Ask her to send some skilled craftsmen and strongmen." Hu Le instructed.
In his view, Queen Jin De would never refuse such a trivial matter.
The Treasure-Offering Heavenly Lord thought the same thing. Upon hearing Hu Le's instructions, he immediately nodded in agreement, leaped up in a streak of light, and soared into the sky like a rainbow, disappearing into the clouds in the blink of an eye...
Hu Le watched the Treasure-Offering Heavenly Lord depart and then arrived at the center of the Immortal Island.
He planned to start cleaning up from the core area.
In the center of the island are several undulating fairy peaks. On the highest peak, there used to stand a magnificent fairy palace. However, after the ravages of a war, all the palaces have become dilapidated and crumbling.
He wandered around twice, but couldn't even find a single intact palace.
The only good news is that the corpses that were originally left in the palace have been cleaned up by the Heavenly soldiers.
Next, he got busy.
He first cleared away some garbage, then found a spot with earth fire, took out a cauldron, and continuously circulated his magic power to condense various mineral materials to repair and build palaces and pavilions.
Just as he was extremely busy, the long-awaited Treasure-Presenting Heavenly Lord finally returned from the Heavenly Court. As expected, he was followed by a large group of people, all of whom were skilled craftsmen from the Heavenly Court.
He immediately ended his busy life, feeling that if he continued like this, he would soon become a laborer.
After Xian Tianjun arrived, Hu Le handed over all the manpower to him and moved into a newly built palace to rest.
And so, it was the Heavenly Lord's turn to do the hard work of presenting the treasure.
Fortunately, he didn't have to do everything himself like Hu Le had before; he only needed to expend some mental energy...
After cultivating for several days, Hu Le finally took out the array flag of the Xuan Yuan Yi Qi Ba Men Array, preparing to refine it and restore the island's protective array.
He thought he could easily erase the primordial spirit imprint within the array flags, since the Eastern King Duke had already perished.
But after getting his hands on it, he realized that he was too naive. A great supernatural being is a great supernatural being. Even if he perishes, all that remains in the treasure is a wisp of his primordial spirit imprint, which is not something he can deal with.
When he sent out a wisp of his divine sense to test it, it was only a collision, and his divine sense was instantly bounced back.
At the same time, a mysterious and powerful force surged into his spiritual platform, and with just a sweep, it stirred up a monstrous wave within his spiritual platform.
His primordial spirit, which was sitting upright in his spiritual platform, was struck by that force and immediately trembled violently, clearly suffering considerable damage.
Hu Le's face turned pale. He quickly put the gourd back in, took out a drop of the Three Lights Divine Water and swallowed it. He then used a secret technique to dissolve the divine water and channeled it all into his Purple Mansion Spiritual Platform.
Nourished by the Three Lights Divine Water, his primordial spirit finally recovered somewhat, and his cracked and nearly collapsed Purple Mansion Spirit Platform was stabilized again...
After several more months of recuperation, his injuries finally made a full recovery.
Having learned his lesson, he dared not touch the flags again, and instead went back to the Heavenly Court to ask his teacher for help.
What was extremely dangerous for Hu Le became completely different in Tai Yi's hands.
When the master and disciple met, after learning of Hu Le's request, Taiyi simply took the array flag, ran his hand over it, and instantly erased the primordial spirit imprint of the Eastern King Duke...
