The goddess Nuwa refined the Earth Emperor Seal, then tossed it aside, and the seal immediately tumbled and fell into Phoenix Perch Mountain.
Boom!
A powerful, underground flow of fortune surged in and also landed in the mountains.
In an instant, Phoenix Perch Mountain rose tens of thousands of miles higher, and the Earthly Luck on Nuwa's body immediately surged, instantly exceeding 75%.
At the same time, a nascent form of the Earth Emperor Dao Fruit appeared above Nuwa's head, seemingly ethereal yet real, swaying in the wind.
The outcome is decided!
Seeing this scene, the group of powerful beings couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
The majestic mountain that represented the Earth Goddess Houtu's great fortune not only stopped growing, but also gradually showed signs of collapse after a short while.
The great fortune that had been hovering above her head now seemed incredibly fragile, as if it were about to dissipate.
A hint of sadness flashed in Houtu Niangniang's eyes.
She had fought against the goddess Nuwa for hundreds of years, but she never expected to lose so completely today.
At this moment, she couldn't help but look at Hu Le with resentment.
It's all because of this person! He actually gave the Earth Emperor Seal to Nuwa, causing her to fail at the last minute. How could she not be furious?
At the same time, a sense of annoyance rose in her heart.
I feel that I really shouldn't have offended Hu Le so badly back then!
However, after a moment's thought, she quickly dismissed that slight annoyance.
What's the use of regretting it now?
Besides, she never felt that there was anything wrong with her initial choice...
"Sister! You're too kind!"
Nuwa was filled with pride and joy. She smiled and called out to Houtu, then leaped into the air and disappeared into the sky above the River of Destiny.
Fuxi bowed slightly to Hu Le and then vanished in a flash of light.
"Sister! Are we just going to let it go like this?" Xuanming Niangniang walked up to Houtu Niangniang and asked with a murderous look on her face.
Judging from her expression, it seemed that as soon as the Goddess Houtu gave the order, she would immediately follow her to Phoenix Perch Mountain.
If it were at the beginning, Houtu Niangniang, in her great anger, might have actually led Xuanming Niangniang to kill her way to Fengqi Mountain and reclaim the Earth Emperor's Dao Fruit.
However, by this time, she had calmed down.
"Alas! What can we do now that things have come to this? Fate has already decided. What can we do if we don't count the days?" she sighed.
If she went to Phoenix Perch Mountain at this point, Nuwa might have already attained the Earthly Sovereign Dao Fruit; what use would it be for her to go there?
Next, Houtu Niangniang stabilized the immortal peak that represented her destiny, and after letting out a long sigh, she led Xuanming Niangniang and the others away.
Seeing that there was no more excitement to be had, everyone left.
Hu Le raised his hand and pointed, retrieving the Chaos Bell, his primordial spirit disappearing into nothingness...
After Hu Le's spirit returned, his physical body also opened its eyes. Recalling what had happened before, he suddenly burst out laughing.
This time, he finally made a losing deal.
He had only watched a grand spectacle, yet he had lost a primordial spiritual treasure, leaving him speechless.
However, he believed that Fuxi and his sister would not let him suffer such a great loss for no reason...
He quickly put the matter out of his mind and continued to comprehend and cultivate the Great Dao of Space.
Not long after, Fuxi's arrival interrupted his cultivation.
After he finished his cultivation, he personally received Fuxi at Yaochi.
After the two met, they addressed each other as fellow Daoists and then sat down in the hall, where a young attendant served them celestial dew and spiritual fruits.
"Thank you so much, fellow Daoist. If it weren't for your generous gift of this treasure, my sister might not have been able to succeed in attaining enlightenment. We, her brother and sister, will forever remember this kindness and virtue."
Fuxi said politely.
In the past, he could have treated Hu Le with the same respect one would show to a junior, but now that Hu Le had achieved the greatness of Pangu and had done a great favor for them, he naturally had to be even more polite.
“Fellow Daoist, there’s no need to be so polite. I don’t cultivate the Earthly Sovereign’s Way, so that spiritual treasure is of little use to me. Since Fellow Daoist Nuwa needs this treasure, how could I be stingy with it?”
Hu Le also replied politely.
He never forgot that his first innate spiritual treasure was given to him by Fuxi.
"My younger sister is currently focusing on cultivating her Dao Fruit and is unable to come in person to express her gratitude, but she asked me to bring you a gift..."
As Fuxi spoke, he took out a lotus-shaped lamp from his sleeve.
Hu Le looked up and saw that the lamp was nine inches tall, pure white, like ice and snow, and shaped like a blooming lotus, as big as a large bowl, with the lotus heart being the wick.
"Could this treasure be the Lotus Lantern?" Hu Le asked with a smile.
Fuxi nodded slightly, "It's good that you recognize it, fellow Daoist! This is my sister's gift of gratitude, and I hope you will accept it."
Hu Le didn't stand on ceremony; he already possessed a primordial spirit lamp.
However, that lamp is called the Emerald Light Yin-Yang Lamp. It was left behind by the Master Taiyi and is needed to illuminate the entire Heavenly Palace. It is not easy to use it.
Each of the many innate spiritual lamps has its own unique and wondrous uses, and the magical properties of this Lotus Lamp are in no way inferior to those of the Emerald Light Yin-Yang Lamp.
Even if he doesn't need it, it would be good to give it to his disciples.
Since the Goddess Nuwa sent this treasure, she naturally wanted to use it to settle some of the karmic debts, so Hu Le would not refuse.
Otherwise, if he refuses, he might offend the other party, making the two siblings think that he is unwilling to settle the karmic debt with them and that he intends to use this karmic debt to scheme for something bigger in the future.
Therefore, Hu Le glanced at the Lotus Lantern and said with a smile, "Since it is Fellow Daoist Nuwa's kindness, I naturally cannot refuse. Please take my thanks back with you when you return."
When Fuxi saw that Hu Le readily accepted the Lotus Lantern, all the last trace of doubt in his heart vanished.
You must understand that when your cultivation reaches their level, the last thing you want to incur is karma.
It would be good to be able to settle some matters now with a decent innate spiritual treasure.
Moreover, this also proves that Hu Le has no greater ambitions towards him and his sister, which naturally puts him at ease.
As for the remaining karma, we can find a way to repay it later...
After Fuxi delivered the treasure, he chatted with Hu Le for a few more minutes, and soon the conversation turned to the matter of listening to the Dao at Zixiao Palace.
The two took this opportunity to share what they had learned from the sermon.
It wasn't until several days later that Fuxi ended the exchange, got up, and took his leave.
After all, Nuwa was currently refining the Earthly Sovereign Dao Fruit in Phoenix Perch Mountain and shouldn't be disturbed. He also needed to rush back to protect Nuwa...
Hu Le politely tried to persuade him to stay a couple of times, but seeing that Fuxi was determined to leave, he didn't linger and personally escorted him out of Yaochi.
However, just as the two left the Jade Pool Immortal Palace, strange phenomena suddenly appeared all over the prehistoric world.
Celestial music filled the air, golden flowers rained down, golden lotuses sprang from the ground, and celestial light and auspicious energy swirled above the nine heavens.
After sensing the surroundings for a moment, Hu Le smiled at Fuxi and said, "Fellow Daoist! Congratulations!"
Fuxi naturally understood what had happened, and a smile appeared on his face.
This scene was undoubtedly caused by the goddess Nuwa achieving the position of Earthly Sovereign.
As Hu Le gazed at the ever-changing phenomena on the horizon, he thought to himself: This Earth Emperor truly lives up to his title as the Lord of the Earthly Dao; he is indeed formidable, far surpassing my Human Emperor Dao Fruit…
