The Taoist priest calmly reached into his sleeve and pulled out a supreme divine sword that exuded endless killing intent.
He lightly raised his arm and seemingly casually tossed it, and the divine sword instantly transformed into a dazzling white light, rushing towards Hu Le like a bolt of lightning.
The beam of white light was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye it shot in front of Hu Le, about to pierce through his chest.
Hu Le responded with a smile, neither dodging nor avoiding the issue.
However, at this critical moment, something unexpected happened—the once unstoppable sword light suddenly stopped, hovering steadily in mid-air, motionless, as if firmly held by an invisible hand.
At this moment, the Taoist slowly spoke, saying, "My master is the Taoist Ancestor, highly respected and compassionate. Naturally, he would not accept your treasures without a reason."
This sword is an unparalleled weapon of slaughter, possessing boundless power. Today, I bestow it upon you as a small compensation. I hope you will not refuse, fellow Daoist.”
Upon hearing this, Hu Le's face lit up with satisfaction. He cupped his hands and said, "Since it is a gift from the Dao Ancestor, then this humble Daoist will accept it without being impolite. Thank you!"
Having said that, he stretched out his right hand without hesitation and easily grabbed the innate divine sword in his hand as if taking something out of a bag.
Upon receiving the sword, Hu Le felt a chilling coldness travel from the hilt into his palm, followed by a strong tremor.
He subconsciously curled his fingers and flicked the blade lightly.
In an instant, a "hum" of sword sound rang out, and the divine sword trembled violently.
At the same time, streaks of cold light burst forth from the sword, spreading rapidly in all directions like a surging tide.
Wherever it passed, the void twisted and shattered, as if unable to withstand this powerful force.
Seeing this, Hu Le's eyes flashed with admiration, and he couldn't help but exclaim softly, "Indeed, it is a peerless sword!"
The Taoist priest opposite him nodded with a smile and replied, "This is indeed a rare treasure in the world!"
Next, he turned to look at Xuan Su Daoist standing not far away, nodded slightly to him, and after greeting him, his figure flashed and disappeared from the spot, disappearing into the depths of the void rift in the blink of an eye.
The Taoist priest, holding a precious umbrella, walked further and further away until he disappeared from everyone's sight.
However, the remaining Daoist Yingxu and the Water Ancestor remained standing in place, showing no intention of leaving.
They actually knew that everything was pretty much settled by now, and they also understood the laws and destiny of the Great Dao.
Seeing that Hu Le had successfully left the other world of Hongmeng, they knew perfectly well that the hope of seizing back that supreme treasure of enlightenment was now extremely slim.
However, the importance of this treasure is self-evident. If one could acquire it, it would undoubtedly increase their chances of success when attempting to reach the Dao Ancestor realm in the future.
For these powerful beings at the pinnacle of creation, such temptation was simply unparalleled and supreme.
So even though the hope was slim, they refused to give up and decided to give it a try.
Although Daoist Yingxu was also a disciple of the Dao Ancestor, his personality made him unlike the carefree and unrestrained Daoist with the umbrella who had just left.
Although he knew full well that the chances of success in this operation were slim, he still couldn't easily give up this opportunity that could change his future.
Clinging to a sliver of hope, he resolutely stepped forward, leading the group of powerful beings behind him out of the void rift, and aggressively pressed towards Hu Le and Xuan Su Daoist.
Hu Le tilted his head slightly, a faint smile appearing on his lips. He turned his gaze to Xuan Su Daoist beside him and said slowly, "Hehe, judging from this posture, they obviously haven't given up yet."
Xuan Su Daoist gently shook his head and calmly replied, "It doesn't matter. Even if they are unwilling, what can they do? In the end, it's all in vain."
"For now, you should come with me to see the teacher. We can discuss further after we've met him."
As soon as he finished speaking, without moving his body, he suddenly took a step forward, and his whole body disappeared from the spot like a wisp of green smoke, heading straight into the endless depths of the void.
Upon seeing this, Hu Le first glanced casually at Yingxu Daoist and his group who were rapidly approaching, then let out a cold snort, his face immediately returning to its indifferent state.
Then, he turned around abruptly, took a step without hesitation, and followed closely behind the figure of Xuan Su Dao Ren.
Guan Kong and the others, who were watching from a distance, exchanged glances after witnessing the scene before them.
In the end, everyone seemed to have reached some kind of tacit understanding, and they all chose not to hesitate any longer, turning around and retreating into the Hongmeng City behind them.
Actually, it wasn't that Guan Kong and Yuan Huang were unfilial or unwilling to step forward to help their teacher.
The reason is that they are self-aware; they can tell from the powerful aura emanating from Yingxu and the others that the difference in strength between the two sides is huge.
Given their current cultivation level, if they were to rashly rush forward to fight the opponent, it would be tantamount to throwing eggs against rocks and courting death.
Therefore, they dared not take any risks before their teacher gave the order, lest they needlessly lose their lives.
...
Hu Le and Xuan Su Daoist flew away like two shooting stars, crossing the endless void in the blink of an eye and plunging into the vast primordial chaos.
Just then, a dozen or so figures rushed over from behind like lightning; it was none other than Daoist Yingxu and his group!
The group of powerful figures clung tightly to Hu Le's back, showing no sign of letting up.
In this primordial chaos, time seemed to have lost its meaning.
Hu Le and Xuan Su Daoist continued to move forward, the primordial energy around them spreading like a thick fog, making it difficult to discern directions.
However, thanks to their familiarity with the road and their powerful cultivation, they continued to advance towards their goal like lightning.
After an unknown amount of time, one day, a dazzling celestial light suddenly shone forth, like the dawn breaking at sunrise, illuminating the entire primordial world.
A colossal, void continent, suspended above the primordial energy, slowly unfolded before their eyes.
This continent is as beautiful as a fairyland, shrouded in mist and ethereal beauty.
This place is not somewhere else, but their destination—the Daoist temple of Taiyi Daozu!
Upon seeing this familiar scene, Hu Le and Xuan Su Dao Ren were overjoyed, and the immortal light beneath their feet immediately accelerated its flow.
In just a few breaths, they arrived before the dense purple aura.
As disciples of the Taiyi Dao Ancestor, they naturally did not need to inform anyone.
Therefore, without hesitation, the two of them flashed into the purple mist and sped towards the suspended continent high in the sky.
