Hu Le entered the hall, set up an incense table, and placed the Chaos Bell on it.
Then, he knelt before the table and silently prayed a few words.
The Chaos Bell suddenly trembled, then transformed into a streak of light and flew away...
After returning the Chaos Bell, Hu Le sat upright in the hall, silently practicing the Pangu Secret Technique, and began to refine Pangu's drop of heart blood little by little.
Having learned from his previous experience, Hu Le's refining process went very smoothly this time.
As the secret technique continued to operate, Pangu's essence blood gradually dissolved, turning into wisps of blood mist that spread throughout his body.
A hazy, chaotic spiritual energy swirled around his mouth and nose, like tiny white snakes moving in and out...
Time passed day by day, and Pangu's essence blood gradually began to merge into Hu Le's body.
Unbeknownst to us, a thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, Hu Le swallowed his last breath of white air.
His bones suddenly crackled, and his body began to expand and contract continuously. After nine transformations, he finally completed the refining of Pangu's essence blood, and his physical cultivation reached a new level.
Hu Le opened his eyes, checked his cultivation level, and couldn't help but feel a surge of emotions.
As expected of Pangu, the creator of heaven and earth, just two drops of his essence blood have made such a big difference in his cultivation, and his physical body is almost comparable to the Great Luo realm.
In this way, one can imagine how incredibly powerful Pangu was at his peak...
After Hu Le left the pass, the Treasure-Offering Heavenly Lord immediately came over to pay his respects.
Hundreds of years ago, he had already consumed and refined the Heavenly Heart Grass, and his entire being had been transformed.
According to his own estimation, although his background was still not comparable to those innate deities, it should at least be similar to those top gods.
Even so, he was already very satisfied.
Originally, he wanted to go and show off to Hu Le right away, but Hu Le was still in seclusion at the time, which greatly disappointed him.
After holding back for hundreds of years, Hu Le finally emerged from seclusion, and he rushed over, eagerly showing off in front of Hu Le.
Seeing that the Treasure-Presenting Heavenly Lord was beaming with pride and speaking with great enthusiasm, spittle flying everywhere.
Hu Le gave him a strange look, wanting to tell him: Who are you trying to impress? I could crush a dozen of you with one hand...
However, considering the other party's underlying issues, there are now signs that they can be resolved.
He couldn't very well retaliate against him mercilessly.
After all, it would be a huge loss to damage such a suitable tool...
The Heavenly Lord of Treasures showed off for quite a while before finally stopping.
After offering him a few words of encouragement, Hu Le inquired about clan affairs...
Afterwards, Hu Le stayed in the Yanhuang tribe for some time before returning to Penglai in the East Sea.
It's been so long, it's time to go there. After all, if we're away for too long, and no one on the island is operating the East Sea's earth veins, if the earth's energy accumulates and erupts in the future, causing the East Sea to overturn, that would be his sin.
With nothing to do on the road, Hu Le quickly returned to Penglai Island, where the two attendants, Qingyi and Hongyu, busied themselves notifying the cultivators on the island to come and pay their respects.
After receiving them, Hu Le sent them away and then sat down in Lingyun Palace, silently circulating his secret technique to begin sorting out the spiritual energy of the earth veins within Penglai Island.
Penglai Island is the ancestral vein of the East Sea. As long as the earth energy of Penglai Island is restored, even if the spiritual veins in other places accumulate and erupt, they will not be able to affect the entire East Sea.
Moreover, other Qi Refiners are stationed at the nodes of the other spiritual veins in the East Sea, and they regulate the branches, so Hu Le doesn't need to worry about it.
One day, a girl named Hongyu came to report that the God of Longevity was outside requesting an audience.
While sitting upright on the cloud bed, Hu Le circulated his primordial spirit to harmonize the earth's veins, and ordered his servant to invite the person in.
A moment later, the God of Longevity walked in, carrying a boy in his hand.
"Greetings, Divine Lord."
The birthday celebrant bowed and then stood up.
What brings you to see me?
Hu Le glanced at the birthday celebrant, then paused for a moment on the child's face.
This boy looked similar to the boy in blue robes, and was fairly handsome, but his shifty eyes betrayed him; he didn't seem like a well-behaved person.
"I have come here for no other reason than to ask the God to grant me justice." The God of Longevity bowed again.
"Oh? Could it be that there is someone on Penglai Island who dares to bully you? Tell me in detail," Hu Le asked calmly.
"I originally planted a few longevity peach trees on the island, intending to present them as gifts to the Heavenly Empress on her birthday soon."
They were almost ripe, but unexpectedly, they fell victim to this scoundrel's wickedness and were all ruined by him.
As he spoke, he angrily tugged at the boy in his hand, indicating that the boy was the culprit.
Upon hearing this, Hu Le frowned slightly. Since it was a gift for his master's wife, he couldn't let it go so easily.
His calm gaze shifted to the boy. "What's your name?"
"This humble one, Dongfang Shuo, greets Your Majesty the Divine Lord."
The boy broke free from the birthday celebrant's grasp, and without flinching, respectfully bowed three times to Hu Le.
Dongfang Shuo?
hehe.
This was a notorious peach-stealing thief who would later be as famous as Sun Wukong...
"Dongfang Shuo, do you acknowledge what the God of Longevity just said?" Hu Le asked calmly.
Although Dongfang Shuo was young, he knew that he had no room to lie in front of someone like the Eastern Divine Lord, so he could only honestly admit it.
"I know I have committed a crime. I beg Your Majesty to have mercy and forgive me this time."
Hu Le laughed for the first time. "Spare you? You've already stolen from my Penglai Immortal Island, how can I spare you?"
Dongfang Shuo kept kowtowing, "Divine Lord, have mercy! Have mercy!"
"Alright! Considering you also hail from Penglai, I'll let you go this time. But you must never set foot on the Immortal Island again," Hu Le said calmly.
The child had only stolen some peaches; it wasn't worth taking his life. He could simply be banished from the island.
Upon hearing this, the God of Longevity stroked his beard and nodded. He hadn't actually intended to do anything to Dongfang Shuo; he just wanted to teach him a lesson.
"Ah! My Lord! I know I was wrong. You may punish me however you wish, but please don't send me away!"
Dongfang Shuo hurriedly begged for mercy.
He was born from Penglai Island, which is his home. Now he is being driven away and is about to face homelessness.
Overwhelmed with grief, he repeatedly kowtowed and begged for mercy.
However, Hu Le was determined and remained unmoved, preparing to wave him away.
The God of Longevity felt pity for him and pleaded on his behalf, saying, "My Lord, I think he has already realized his mistake. Considering that this is his first offense, please have mercy on me and forgive him this time."
Upon hearing this, Hu Le pointed at the birthday celebrant and laughed and scolded, "You old bastard, you brought this man here for me to punish, and now that I've dealt with him, you're pleading for him instead. You're truly not a son."
At this moment, the green-clad servant and the red-jade boy who were standing to the side also stepped forward to plead for Dongfang Shuo.
Over the years, the three children had often played together and developed a deep friendship. Of course, they didn't want Dongfang Shuo to be expelled from the island...
