Bai Ze, the Demon Saint, activated the Taiyi Golden Ship, unleashing a beam of innate Yi wood mystic light that swept across the sky.
Hu Le's avatar was originally a strand of hair, with only a wisp of his primordial spirit and magical power residing on it. The fact that he could escape such a long distance in one breath was truly a testament to Hu Le's extraordinary abilities.
At this moment, being swept away by the innate Yi wood mysterious light, how could one possibly escape it?
As the divine light swept over, the avatar suddenly disintegrated, transforming back into a single strand of hair that fluttered and fell to the ground.
Upon seeing this, the Great Sage Bai Ze immediately understood what had happened and slapped his forehead.
"Oh no! I've been tricked!"
A flash of inspiration struck Bai Ze, who seemed to remember something and cried out in alarm. He immediately turned the Taiyi Golden Ship around and sped back towards the Xiaohan Mountain Grotto.
However, just before leaving, he paused for a moment, raised his hand, and emitted a beam of mysterious light that curled towards Hu Le's strand of hair.
It seems they're planning to do something with this hair.
Unexpectedly, Hu Le had already anticipated this. Before the Xuan Guang Scroll could even be inserted, that strand of hair turned into ashes on its own and scattered into the world with a gust of wind.
Bai Ze's mysterious light missed its mark, and his face twitched involuntarily. His opponent's actions were so meticulous; he felt like he had met his match this time...
He hurriedly returned to Xiaohan Mountain Grotto-Heaven by urging the Taiyi Golden Ship all the way. After putting away the Golden Ship and arriving at Mingdao Palace, he immediately discovered that, just as he had guessed, the body of the Great Sage Qinyuan had already disappeared.
The disciples and subordinates of the Great Sage Qinyuan also rushed back at this time, and were dumbfounded when they saw the empty hall...
Meanwhile, Hu Le had already fled tens of thousands of miles away with the corpse of Qin Yuan Da Sheng, until he had completely escaped the area of Xiao Han Shan, before emerging from underground.
Next, he flew forward for a distance, then found a secluded cave, set up a large array to conceal his whereabouts, and settled down in the cave with peace of mind.
He came to the center of the cave, pointed to the ground, and a futon appeared under his feet. He sat down.
Then, with a flick of his sleeve, the corpse of the Great Sage Qinyuan, enveloped in a radiant glow, flew out from his sleeve and sat down opposite him.
"You scoundrel, you almost ruined the master's plans! You won't get away with this this time!"
Hu Le suddenly raised his bamboo staff and swiftly struck Qin Yuan Da Sheng on the forehead.
"ah……"
In the darkness, Hu Le seemed to hear a shrill scream, but his expression remained unchanged.
Previously, the glimmer of wisdom in the Great Sage Qinyuan's sea of consciousness, though not yet possessing true intelligence, still seemed to sense Hu Le's malice in the darkness. That's why it barely managed to control the Great Sage Qinyuan's physical body and expose Hu Le's location.
Of course, this is also the last chance that Heaven has left for it. If it can seize it, it will surely be able to overcome this tribulation. Once it develops true intelligence and completely controls the physical body of the Great Sage Qinyuan, its future achievements will be promising.
But if you can't grasp it, then don't blame Heaven for being ruthless; just let it live or die on its own.
In the end, Hu Le proved to be more skilled and seized the body, leaving it with no chance of survival.
After Hu Le extinguished the glimmer of wisdom with a flick of his finger, he placed the bamboo staff across his knees, released the essence of the purple bamboo staff, and absorbed the physical body of the Great Sage Qinyuan into it all at once.
Then he activated the innate five elements Dao seed, releasing a beam of innate five-colored divine light that enveloped his physical body and began to grind it rapidly.
If the Great Sage Qinyuan were still alive, even if Hu Le activated the Innate Five Elements Dao Seed, he might not be able to easily obliterate this physical body.
But since this physical body had lost its primordial spirit and most of its magical power, it had no ability to resist and could only be manipulated by Hu Le...
Before long, the physical body could no longer hold on and began to crack little by little. The flesh and blood mixed together with the magic power, turning into wisps of primordial energy that merged into the essence of the magic weapon.
As the vital energy continued to flow in, the purple aura transformed from the essence of the magical artifact began to expand, gradually transforming into a vast ocean.
The purple hue on the surface of the bamboo staff began to intensify, with rings of light constantly flowing across it.
Hu Le closed his eyes slightly, and streams of chaotic primordial energy flowed from his nostrils, resembling a white ribbon washing over the bamboo staff and continuously seeping into the staff.
The primordial spirit continued to activate the innate five elements Dao seeds deep within the bamboo staff's origin, continuously releasing five-colored divine light that constantly washed over the Great Sage Qinyuan's physical body, gradually eroding it into primordial energy...
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye. Qin Yuan Da Sheng's physical body was finally worn away, and Hu Le also withdrew his divine sense, and the magic power flowing between his mouth and nose also shrank back into his body.
The radiance on the purple bamboo staff gradually faded into the staff itself.
Hu Le opened his eyes, reached out and grabbed the bamboo cane. After swinging it a couple of times, he felt that it wasn't as easy to use as usual. After thinking about it for a while, he understood why.
So, a plan formed in his mind, and he lightly rose from the prayer mat...
At this moment, the bamboo staff contained the life's cultivation of the Great Sage Qinyuan, and its magical power alone amounted to hundreds of eons. Of course, it was impossible to fully integrate it into the bamboo staff in such a short time.
However, he did not intend to stay here any longer. As long as he could completely destroy the physical body of the Great Sage Qinyuan and eliminate the hidden danger, he could deal with the rest after returning to Penglai Island.
Hu Le removed the formation in the cave, got up and walked out of the cave. He raised his hand and summoned a seven-colored auspicious cloud, then rode the cloud into the sky and slowly flew towards the East China Sea.
He traveled without incident and finally returned to Penglai that day.
After resting on the island for a few days, they set up a Small Heavenly Cycle Star Formation on the back mountain, drawing in the power of countless stars from the heavens, which transformed into a galaxy flowing within the formation.
Then he inserted the bamboo staff into the center of the formation, letting clusters of starlight wash over it...
He did this, of course, to add to the mystique of the bamboo staff.
After all, it was originally made from an ordinary spirit bamboo, and Hu Le had to go to great lengths to add its essence to it.
Regardless of whether it was an innate Dao seed, the primordial spirit and magical power of others, or any other innate object, as long as it seemed suitable, he would refine it all into it.
While this greatly enhances the original essence of the bamboo cane, it also inevitably makes the essence more complex.
If left unattended, it will not only feel sluggish when used in the future, but it may also shatter and disintegrate if subjected to a strong external impact.
Therefore, he now has no choice but to draw upon the power of celestial bodies to purify his origin and refine the impurities within it, hoping to completely integrate the origin into one unified whole.
Of course, this was not something that could be accomplished in a day, so Hu Le left the bamboo staff behind and let the Small Heavenly Star Array operate on its own, drawing the power of the stars to continuously wash around the bamboo staff.
He himself returned to Lingyun Palace and began to sort out his various gains from the Yuanqi Tide. At the very least, he needed to completely refine the Xuanpin Creation Essence into magic power...
