The reasons why Kongxuan Daozu chose to retreat so easily are complex.
First of all, it should be known that the Primordial Dao of this world is the exclusive Dao Domain of the Taiyi Dao Ancestor. Under such circumstances, the Kongxuan Dao Ancestor is naturally at a slight disadvantage.
Furthermore, if the two of them were to engage in a life-or-death struggle without regard for anything else, it would not be a simple battle between two individuals, but rather a direct clash between two great paths.
Regardless of whether they can defeat their opponent, the terrifying aftershocks of this fierce battle alone are enough to destroy both of these primordial worlds.
For this reason, under normal circumstances, the Dao Ancestors would rarely go all out in a desperate fight.
Moreover, generally speaking, unless they are greatly offended, beings like Kongxuan Daozu, with their lofty status and seniority, are really not willing to take things too seriously with a junior disciple.
Of course, at their level, fame and fortune are long gone and forgotten, and external reputation is of no importance to them.
Unfortunately, even though Kongxuan Daozu was determined to kill Hu Le, with Taiyi Daozu protecting him, it was difficult for him to achieve his goal.
Besides, at this moment, it is far from the time for the two realms to engage in the final battle.
Only when these two primordial worlds are completely integrated, and the two primordial paths intersect and give rise to endless changes, will it be the crucial moment for the Dao Ancestors of the two worlds to lead the boundless fortunes of their respective worlds in a decisive battle...
Just as the mind of the Dao Ancestor Kongxuan was gradually dissipating, it was as if a wisp of smoke rose up and eventually returned to his own primordial world.
At this moment, above the magnificent and boundless Great Dao River, Hu Le's figure slowly emerged from beneath the enormous Hongmeng Bell.
He bowed deeply to the Taiyi Dao Ancestor with a respectful expression and said loudly, "Thank you, Master, for saving me! If it weren't for your righteous help, I would probably be dead by now."
Taiyi Daozu stood there quietly, as steady and solemn as a towering mountain.
He didn't say anything, but simply nodded slightly at Hu Le.
Then, the body of the Taiyi Dao Ancestor gradually became blurred like a phantom, and in the blink of an eye, it completely disappeared into the endless void, vanishing without a trace.
Hu Le only straightened up after the figure of Taiyi Daozu had completely disappeared.
Then, his figure suddenly changed again, transforming into a clear and transparent wisp of air, soaring into the sky like a nimble dragon.
At the same time, the Primordial Bell was also swept up by a powerful force, and fell rapidly along with Hu Le.
With a loud "plop," the two instantly sank into the unfathomable river of the Primordial Chaos, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.
In the distant void, the many powerful beings who had been watching the battle all understood that this thrilling fight had come to an end.
So they all withdrew their attention from hovering above the Great River and departed.
In an instant, the once bustling scene returned to its usual tranquility.
After Kongxuan Daozu had completely withdrawn his mind, he suddenly let out a long sigh.
The sigh echoed like the gentle tolling of a bell throughout the entire primordial world.
Upon hearing this sigh, the Taoist Master Yingxu, who was standing below, looked puzzled.
Seeing this, Dao Ancestor Kongxuan said slowly, "I just used my supreme divine power to calculate and I already know the exact location of that junior in this realm."
If you are determined to make things difficult for him, you are welcome to go and find him yourself.
Upon hearing this, Daoist Yingxu was overjoyed and immediately bowed to Daoist Kongxuan.
In the next instant, Kongxuan Daozu, carrying Yingxu Daoren on his back, flicked his slender fingers lightly, and in an instant, a dazzling golden light suddenly rose up.
This golden light streaked across the sky like a shooting star, drawing a graceful arc before accurately disappearing into the space between Yingxu Daoist's eyebrows.
Suddenly, the golden light seemed to melt away, rapidly transforming into a stream of information that flashed through Yingxu Daoist's mind like lightning.
Yingxu Daoist felt a sudden clarity in his mind and instantly knew the exact location of Hu Le's primordial incarnation.
Overjoyed, Daoist Yingxu bowed deeply to Daoist Kongxuan.
"Thank you so much, Master, for your guidance. I will never forget your kindness and gratitude! I will go find him now!"
Before he finished speaking, he turned around and, like an arrow released from a bow, transformed into a dazzling streak of light, rushing straight into the vast and boundless void, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.
Kongxuan Daozu remained silent about Yingxu Daoist's departure, still sitting quietly on the towering platform.
He slowly closed his eyes.
The cloud platform was surrounded by wisps and strands of brilliant and colorful rosy light and ethereal fairy-like atmosphere.
These ethereal rays of light, like lively spirits, drifted and roamed freely between heaven and earth.
However, apart from the Dao Ancestor Kongxuan, there was no trace of any other living beings in this place.
Looking out, one sees magnificent palaces and halls scattered across this vast space, seemingly without end.
Despite the grandeur and splendor of these palaces, an indescribable sense of loneliness and desolation lingered throughout their endless expanse...
Yingxu Daoist ventured deep into the primordial chaos, flying towards his destination, passing through clusters of primordial chaos and even turbulent air currents.
He didn't know how long he had traveled, but one day he finally arrived at the location that the Dao Ancestor Kongxuan had predicted for him.
This place is above a primordial universe.
He stopped in a chaotic place, looked around but did not find Hu Le, and then released a divine thought into the universe below.
In an instant, they swept across all the heavens and myriad realms, but still could not find any trace of Hu Le.
"Could it be that I arrived too late, and he has already moved on?"
Master Yingxu secretly guessed.
That makes sense, since the person wasn't an inanimate object; they wouldn't just stay in one place waiting for him to come.
However, his teacher sent him here, so he shouldn't be disappointed.
Just as his thoughts were racing, a figure suddenly flew out from the depths of the chaos in the distance.
He looked up and saw that the newcomer was wearing a treasure map, surrounded by white light, with the power of time flowing around him, and the surrounding chaotic energy constantly twisting and changing.
Upon seeing this person, even though he had never seen him before, Master Yingxu immediately recognized him as the one he was pursuing, based on a premonition...
