Since he was a great enemy of the Dao, Hu Le naturally wouldn't give him a kind look anymore.
The other party even tried to persuade him to sever his own path, which was utterly absurd.
At this moment, he glanced coldly at Daoist Zixu and sneered, "So, fellow Daoist, you're just trying to make fun of me."
Master Zixu feigned surprise and asked with a smile, "What makes you say that, fellow Daoist? I have only good intentions; how could I be making fun of you?"
"Then you're telling me to switch my Great Dao? Isn't that just nonsense..." Hu Le scoffed. "Why don't you yourself switch to another Great Dao first, fellow Daoist?"
Daoist Zixu shook his head and said, "Fellow Daoist, you are mistaken. The reason I advised you was for your own good! After all, the Primordial Dao is one of the supreme Daos of the Primordial Chaos, which is beyond your grasp. If you give up this Dao now, you may still achieve other Daos in the future."
At this point, the smile on his face vanished, and a hint of arrogance flashed in his eyes: "After all, do you think you can compete with me for this path?"
At this moment, he finally shed his hypocritical mask and revealed his true, somewhat domineering nature.
Hu Le sneered inwardly. This guy was really arrogant and conceited. Did he think he was invincible?
However, he didn't show it, but calmly said, "Oh? Is that so? Then tell me, what qualifications and abilities do you have to compete for this path?"
The Purple Void Daoist revealed a hint of pride and said confidently, "Haha, before the primordial chaos was created, I was already born into this world. I have cultivated diligently for countless eons and today I have become a great power in the chaos, in charge of the creation of a universe. All the heavens and myriad worlds in the world regard me as the most respected."
And you are but a tiny ant, how can you compare to me?
Therefore, you'd better obediently relinquish the Primordial Dao and hand over the Dao Child nurtured by the Primordial Dao; otherwise, provoking me will only bring you greater trouble.
Upon hearing this, Hu Le couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Haha, that's utterly ridiculous! What skills do you have? How dare you boast like that?"
This guy has quite the nerve. If Hu Le hadn't recognized that this person was at the same Transcendent Realm as him, he would have thought he was some Primordial Dao Ancestor in person.
Upon hearing Hu Le's sneer, Daoist Zixu lowered his gaze and glanced at Hu Le.
Even though the two were standing face to face at roughly the same height, after they made eye contact, Hu Le felt as if he were being stared at by an eagle, and his whole body felt a little uneasy.
In a daze, Hu Le seemed to think that the person opposite him was standing high in the sky, looking down at him.
He seemed to have shrunk considerably out of nowhere.
Hu Le remained unmoved, but his eyes grew increasingly vacant and lifeless.
The Taoist priest said indifferently, "Alas! As the saying goes, good advice is hard to persuade a damned ghost. I was trying to advise you with good intentions. But since you don't appreciate it, it seems that if I don't show you some tricks today, you might not be convinced."
As he spoke, a thought flashed through his mind, and the scabbard at his waist trembled slightly, emitting a soft ringing sound. The sound was clear and melodious, like a dragon's roar, drawing everyone's attention.
Immediately afterwards, a flash of cold light shot out from the scabbard, streaking across the air like lightning, and then transformed into a long sword as smooth as clouds and water, falling into his palm.
The long sword has a slender blade, and its entire body is surrounded by wisps of cold light.
The moment it was unsheathed, the surrounding void suddenly became extremely cold, the temperature seemed to drop abruptly, and a single glance sent chills down one's spine.
"oh……"
Hu Le chuckled lightly, "It seems we'll have to fight it out eventually."
Master Zixu sneered, "Hmm? If you don't dare to fight me, it's not too late to regret it now."
"Arrogance!"
Hu Le shook his head dismissively and made the first move.
His figure moved like a wisp of smoke, elusive and unpredictable, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared before Daoist Zixu. With a gentle flick of his bamboo staff, he swept it straight towards Daoist Zixu's face…
Having cultivated for countless years, Daoist Zixu had already attained the state of transcendence and had a profound understanding of the Primordial Dao. His comprehension of the Dao far surpassed that of Hu Le.
Previously, when the information of the Primordial Daoist appeared in the Great Dao, it wasn't just Hu Le who sensed it. Almost all the great beings in the entire Primordial Chaos who had cultivated this path sensed it at the same time.
This also became the tribulation for the transformation of the Primordial Daoist.
If he can successfully overcome this tribulation, dispel the covetousness of many powerful beings, and smoothly transform into human form, then his future path to enlightenment will be smooth sailing, and the possibility of attaining the Dao fruit will greatly increase.
But if he cannot overcome this difficulty, then it is his fate.
Ultimately, the Taoist Master Taichu clearly could not escape Hu Le's grasp, and his fate came to an abrupt end, with no future to speak of.
Although Hu Le had sensed the profound mysteries of the Great Dao and foreseen the existence of the Primordial Daoist, the information he obtained was very vague.
Finally, he had to ask his teacher for help, and only then could he barely calculate the approximate location of the Primordial Daoist.
However, Daoist Zixu was different; he also sensed the existence of Xuanji.
Although his cultivation level was comparable to Hu Le's, his mastery of the profound mysteries of the Great Dao far surpassed Hu Le's.
This is not because Daoist Zixu has a better aptitude than Hu Le, but because Hu Le has not been studying this Dao for very long.
Without the guidance of Daoist Taiyi, who allowed him to directly confront the Great Dao and save billions of years, his current understanding of the profound mysteries of the Great Dao would probably only be superficial.
With just these superficial impressions, he might not be able to sense the mysteries related to the Primordial Daoist.
Because Daoist Zixu had a greater grasp of the profound mysteries of the Great Dao, he sensed everything quite clearly.
Therefore, guided by the mysterious principles of the Dao, he calculated his way here and arrived at the place in time.
Otherwise, if he had arrived a step later, and Hu Le had led the Primordial Daoist deep into the Primordial Chaos and returned to the Primordial City, even if he still possessed the Mysterious Secrets, he probably wouldn't have been able to sense the Primordial Daoist's location again.
After all, Hongmeng City is located in the gap between the two Hongmeng universes. The power of the Great Dao of the two realms converges here, and under the conflict between them, the mystery of the Great Dao is extremely chaotic.
Unless the Hongmeng Dao Ancestor personally intervenes, even a powerful being at the Creation Realm cannot possibly calculate everything within Hongmeng City.
...
The two exchanged more than ten blows in the blink of an eye.
This Master Zixu truly lived up to his reputation as a seasoned and powerful expert. Despite Hu Le's relentless attacks, he couldn't gain the slightest advantage.
Hu Le realized that relying solely on the power of the Great Dao carried by the bamboo staff would not be enough to subdue Daoist Zixu.
He immediately feinted and withdrew.
After retreating several miles, he rubbed his hands together, summoning a bolt of divine lightning that struck towards Daoist Zixu.
The divine lightning was formed in an instant, shattering the primordial chaos and appearing above the head of Daoist Zixu in a flash, where it exploded with a deafening roar.
The chaotic black and white lightning instantly engulfed Daoist Zixu.
"Heh... Such a small thunderbolt, like a candle flame, how could it possibly harm me!"
A faint voice, barely audible, emerged from the thunderous roar...
