The old man who emerged from the tree was the primordial spirit incarnation of the innate Fusang Tree.
"Greetings, fellow Daoist."
The old man bowed to Hu Le.
Lu Yi, who was standing to the side, was a little stunned when he saw the old man. He had never known that the innate Fusang tree had actually developed sentience.
Hu Le raised his hand and summoned a white cloud. He then cut out some tables and chairs with his hands, invited the spirit of the Fusang tree to sit down, and then took some immortal dew and spiritual fruits and placed them on the table.
Both of them were born from top-tier spiritual roots.
The only difference is that the old man received the fortune of the entire Fusang tree, while Hu Le was only conceived from a gourd.
Originally, there was a huge difference in their backgrounds. After all, the gourd spirit root produced a total of seven gourds, and he only obtained the fortune of one of them.
However, Hu Le later obtained Pangu's essence blood and cultivated the Pangu physical body method, which greatly improved his foundation, making him no less capable than the innate Fusang tree in front of him.
This is also why the innate Fusang tree was willing to come out and see him.
After all, innate deities born from top-tier innate spiritual roots are inherently noble, and ordinary innate deities would hardly be considered worthy of their attention...
White clouds drifted lazily overhead, and a gentle mountain breeze caressed their faces. The two sat facing each other, drinking the exquisite immortal dew unique to Penglai Immortal Island and consuming rare spiritual fruits from the primordial wilderness.
The two of them talked about metaphysics and philosophy under the clear breeze and bright moon, living a carefree life.
Fusangmu had already reached the Great Luo realm, and all his cultivation came from comprehending the Great Dao. He had unique insights into the cultivation methods of top-tier innate spiritual roots.
As for Hu Le, he has studied the Taiyi Primordial Golden Chapter for many years and has also cultivated the Pangu Secret Method. He can be said to have absorbed the strengths of both schools, and his understanding and comprehension of the Great Dao are extraordinary.
After exchanging ideas, both of them gained a lot.
As for Lu Yi, he could only stand obediently to the side at this moment.
There is no seat for him here.
However, he couldn't care less about that at the moment. His mind was filled with their discussion, which made him feel that he had gained a lot. He also had more insights into some of his previous doubts about cultivation.
Three days later, the two stopped talking, each drank the last cup of celestial dew, and smiled at each other.
Fusangmu stood up, stroked his beard, and laughed, "Good! Fellow Daoist's path is indeed extraordinary. This old man has truly learned a lot this time. Thank you! Thank you!"
"Brother Dao's Dao is truly remarkable. I, Hu, have learned a great deal!" Hu Le replied with a smile.
"Thus, we have had our fill today. May we meet again someday!"
The hibiscus tree bowed slightly, turned gracefully, crashed into the tree trunk, and merged into it, disappearing from sight.
The next moment, the tree trunk rustled, and a section of the hibiscus branch suddenly fell, slowly drifting towards Hu Le.
Hu Le reached out and took the branch in his hand. He saw that the innate energy was circulating on the branch, making it a top-quality material for refining weapons.
Unfortunately, he already possessed the Purple Bamboo Staff, a magical artifact for proving his Dao, so he no longer needed this item.
However, he quickly remembered the Sun-Shooting Bow he had just obtained and instantly understood the cause and effect.
How can one carry out warfare without arrows?
This piece of Fusang wood is perfect for making arrows that shoot down the sun.
This must be the result of cause and effect, and these little golden crows will inevitably face this calamity in the future.
Because they have always resided on the innate Fusang tree, most of their cultivation comes from the innate fire elemental essence of their spiritual bodies.
If we seize this opportunity today, we will surely have to return it tomorrow.
The principle of cause and effect is indeed profound...
Hu Le glanced at Lu Yi with pity, then casually released Lu Wu and the others.
Since they would all end up as a bunch of skeletons in a tomb in the future, Hu Le didn't bother to pursue their previous recklessness.
"Out of respect for Senior Dijun and Brother Fusangzi, I will spare you this time. I hope you will behave yourselves in the future."
Hu Le soared into a cloud of auspiciousness and flew towards the outside of Tang Valley.
Lu Yi was taken aback when he saw this. He was eager to send Hu Le away as soon as possible, so he naturally wouldn't make things difficult for him. He quickly sent several talismans into the island's protective formation from a distance to open a path for Hu Le to leave the island.
Hu Le rode auspicious clouds through the great formation and then returned directly to Penglai Island...
After that, he cultivated on the island for a period of time and finally rekindled his kidney acupoints. Once he condensed the last breath of innate water-elemental profound energy, he could completely reach the realm of the Five Elements Returning to the Origin...
Hu Le sat upright on the cloud bed, with auspicious clouds swirling above his head. Four pillars of energy—red, white, blue, and yellow—stood upright. The instant he opened his kidney acupoint, he immediately activated a secret technique, and the four pillars of energy instantly transformed into waves of energy that began to wash over the auspicious clouds.
The four waves of energy collided and merged into one, their color gradually changing into a unified chaos.
In another instant, the chaotic colored energy wave separated again, this time into five waves, with the extra wave being pure black and containing pure water elemental power.
Previously, he had already condensed four streams of profound energy. By using the mutual generation and restraint of the five elements, he could generate the last stream of water-element profound energy, without having to find another place with abundant water-element spiritual energy to condense it.
As time passed, the five waves of energy collided and merged continuously, their five colors shifting and intertwining endlessly, and the original water-elemental profound energy began to solidify little by little.
On a certain day and at a certain moment, eight hundred years from now.
A heavenly bell rang out in the void.
Immediately, a cluster of auspicious clouds gathered above the entire Penglai Immortal Island, showering down immeasurable auspicious light and mist.
Suddenly, flowers rained down from the sky, golden lotuses sprang from the ground, heavenly light shone everywhere, celestial music filled the air, and a mysterious and powerful aura swept across the entire Penglai Immortal Island.
Overwhelmed by this aura, all living beings on the island immediately bowed down in the direction of Lingyun Palace...
Hu Le opened his eyes and murmured, "The Five Qi Converging to the Origin realm! Finally... I've achieved it!"
Just after he achieved the Five Qi Gathering and entered the fortieth level of Qi Refining, he immediately sensed a change in the heavenly secrets.
At that very moment, all the Qi cultivators in the entire primordial world sensed the same heavenly secret...
Above the nine heavens, below the Great Dao, with the Heavenly Dao in the center, the deepest source of the primordial world will usher in the first change of the primordial energy tide.
The tides contain boundless creation, including the essence of heaven and earth and the opportunities of the Great Dao. Any cultivator who can devote their primordial spirit to them and capture a certain amount of essence and opportunities of the Great Dao will surely make great progress in their cultivation and magical power after refining them.
Besides, it may also contain other karmic connections and opportunities, all of which can only be known after entering.
Of course, besides these great opportunities and good fortune, there are also endless dangers involved. One careless move could lead to the complete annihilation of one's soul and body.
"If you want to seize opportunities and create good fortune, what's a little risk involved? Is there any path to enlightenment that can be easily attained in this world?"
Hu Le murmured to himself, put away the auspicious cloud, and his primordial spirit flew out from the skull, wrapped in a Kan-Gen-Kun flag, and soared into the heavens in one breath, sensing the call of the primordial energy tide, and headed towards a certain place in the void...
