Hu Le passed through the ninth level of the Pangu Palace and obtained the essence of Pangu's blood and the method of refining the physical body, feeling extremely fortunate.
Such good fortune and destiny must be among the best even within the entire Pangu Temple.
The only thing that he regretted was that this cultivation method could only be practiced up to the Taiyi realm for the time being; Pangu did not grant him the higher realms.
It's his own fault, really. He was too weak and couldn't go any further than the ninth floor.
He now has some understanding of the rules of the Pangu Temple.
The pagoda has forty-nine floors. The higher the floor you reach, the greater the rewards. If you can reach the forty-ninth floor, you can obtain all the cultivation techniques at your fingertips.
Moreover, during the process, one can only rely on one's own supernatural powers and magic, and cannot use spiritual treasures; otherwise, even if one successfully passes the test, the benefits obtained in the end will be greatly reduced.
Now, Hu Le only made it to the ninth level before exhausting himself, and he simply couldn't continue. It's no surprise that he didn't get all the techniques.
Fortunately, he already knew that all primordial beings had the right to enter the Pangu Palace three times.
He will have two more chances in the future. It won't be too late to ask for the remaining techniques when he is strong enough...
After Hu Le finished absorbing the contents of the magic formula, he bowed to the pagoda to express his gratitude for Pangu's generous gift, and then turned and left...
Next, he left Zhou Mountain and rode on auspicious clouds all the way back to Penglai Island.
After returning to the Immortal Island, Hu Le hurriedly gave some instructions to the Treasure Offering Heavenly Lord before going into seclusion to cultivate.
In a secluded cave on the back mountain, Hu Le sealed the cave entrance, built a cloud bed deep inside the cave, and sat cross-legged on it.
After a short while, once he had calmed his mind and regulated his breathing, the Pangu Body Cultivation Technique began to reappear in his Purple Mansion Spirit Platform.
With each breath he took, countless primordial spiritual energies began to gather in the cave, transforming into boundless mist that swirled endlessly around him.
He silently circulated his magic, absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy, which flowed through his body. Using the essence transformed from the drop of Pangu's blood as a guide, he transformed the spiritual energy into wisps of chaotic spiritual energy, which slowly merged into his physical body.
Transforming innate spiritual energy into chaotic spiritual energy is the most crucial step in condensing Pangu's physical body.
Ideally, if possible, it would be most suitable to go directly to the outer chaos to cultivate, where the chaotic spiritual energy is extremely abundant.
Unfortunately, besides the endless chaotic spiritual energy, the Chaos Realm is also filled with danger.
In chaos.
Besides the ever-present chaotic divine thunder and chaotic fire, even ordinary chaotic energy alone would be too much for most people to withstand.
Let alone a Golden Immortal, even a Taiyi Golden Immortal would find it difficult to move an inch in that chaos without a supreme treasure to protect them...
Now that Hu Le can't go to Chaos, he can only rely on a clumsy method, constantly using Pangu's secret techniques to transform the innate spiritual energy between heaven and earth.
As time slowly passed, Hu Le was surrounded by chaotic spiritual energy, and white air circulated between his mouth and nose. An ancient, boundless, and immortal aura began to emanate from him.
At this time, his physical cultivation had reached the Golden Immortal realm, and his primordial spirit power and physical cultivation had gradually achieved a certain balance.
Once one's cultivation reaches such a level, advancing to the next level is not so simple.
Even though the innate spiritual energy on Penglai Immortal Island is extremely abundant, as Hu Le's demand for chaotic spiritual energy increases, he will not be able to refine his physical body to the Taiyi realm within a million years, relying solely on the island's spiritual energy.
Seeing that he couldn't make any further progress in the short term, Hu Le reluctantly stopped his cultivation, examined his physical body, and realized that his hard work this time had not been in vain.
He got up from the cloud bed, clenched his right fist, and threw a punch.
Boom!
With a loud bang, in an instant! The force of the punch spread out in all directions.
Cracks appeared visibly in the void in front of Hu Le, and the surrounding air trembled incessantly.
According to his estimation, given the current toughness of his physical body, ordinary innate spiritual treasures should no longer be able to harm his life.
Of course, this is just his guess; the truth will only be known after trying it himself.
However, he wasn't foolish enough to test the magic weapon on himself...
Hu Le suppressed his aura and did some quick calculations. Five thousand years had passed since his seclusion; he wondered what was happening outside.
He pushed open the cave door and went out, arriving at the main peak and returning to the Lingyun Palace.
He had just sat down when the Treasure Offering Heavenly Lord rushed over, followed by three familiar faces—the Three Star Gods of Fortune, Prosperity, and Longevity.
"Brother! You've finally emerged from seclusion!"
The Treasure-Offering Heavenly Lord first greeted Hu Le.
Fu Lu Shou also stepped forward and bowed to Hu Le, saying, "Greetings, Divine Lord."
"You needn't stand on ceremony."
After Hu Le had them sit down, he ordered a celestial maiden to serve them celestial dew, saying, "Because I was in seclusion before, I was unable to personally greet you. Please forgive any neglect I may have caused."
"I wouldn't dare! I wouldn't dare!"
"You're being too serious, Divine Lord!"
...
The three waved their hands repeatedly, showing great humility.
After exchanging pleasantries in the hall for a while, Fu Lu Shou and the other two took their leave and returned to their own cave dwellings.
Only the two brothers remained in the hall.
"Brother, did you gain anything from this seclusion?" the Treasure-Preserving Heavenly Lord asked curiously.
This was the first time he had ever seen Hu Le in seclusion for such a long time.
"It's alright," Hu Le nodded, without showing off.
Seeing that Hu Le was unwilling to talk more, the Treasure-Offering Heavenly Lord did not pursue the matter further, but instead reported on the affairs of the island over the years.
For example, the Dragon King of the East Sea came to visit several times, or some rogue cultivators from the East Sea came to seek refuge.
The Heavenly Lord of Treasures also explained his decision.
Hu Le simply waved his hand, unwilling to get entangled in these trivial matters, and asked if any major events had occurred in the prehistoric world.
Upon hearing this, the Treasure-Offering Heavenly Lord gave a strange smile, "Nothing major has happened on our Penglai Island. As for the Primordial World, it has been relatively peaceful these past few years. It's just that the Heavenly Court..."
He paused for a moment at this point.
Seeing this, Hu Le was puzzled and asked, "What happened in Heaven?"
However, he was somewhat skeptical. With Taiyi and Jinde Tianhou in charge of the Heavenly Court, what major event could possibly occur?
Could there be anyone who would dare to seek trouble with the two of them?
"A hundred years ago, the Heavenly Empress gave birth to ten sons in the Heavenly Court. Was that a big deal?" asked the Treasure-Offering Heavenly Lord with a smile.
"What?"
Hu Le was so surprised he almost spat out a mouthful of celestial dew.
He jumped up and exclaimed, "Teacher, you have a wonderful son! As your disciple, I should personally go and offer my congratulations!"
Before he finished speaking, he strode out of the hall.
"Brother! Wait!" The Treasure-Offering Heavenly Lord hurriedly grabbed Hu Le's sleeve.
"What? Does Third Brother have any other instructions?" Hu Le asked suspiciously.
"You're just coming empty-handed?" the Treasure-Offering Heavenly Lord reminded him.
"Oh? I'm so happy I almost forgot!"
Hu Le slapped his forehead, realizing what was happening...
