Amidst the rippling divine light, a scroll suddenly rose up, and in the next instant, a colossal hand that blotted out the sky emerged from the scroll, grabbing Qingyuan in its palm.
"Spare me!"
A hint of fear finally appeared in Qingyuan's eyes, and she couldn't help but beg for mercy in a shrill voice.
He never imagined that such a terrifying being was hidden in Hu Le's sea of consciousness.
Hu Le merely smiled indifferently upon hearing this, and then his large hand squeezed tightly.
With a bang.
Qingyuan's soul exploded instantly, returning to a pure aura.
His consciousness shattered, leaving only a sliver of thought still questioning the meaning of life.
"This...how is this possible? How could this happen..."
Hu Le's primordial spirit stepped closer and asked with a smile, "Tsk tsk! You brat! If you were outside, I might not be able to do anything to you, but I didn't expect you to walk right into my trap."
Now that they've ended up like this, who can they blame but themselves...?
His words were not only a critique of his character, but also a statement of fact.
After all, this person is a divine soul at the Taiyi realm. If they were to clash head-on, his loose immortal body might not be a match for him.
Although the Dao-Merging Saint could easily crush him, he was not someone to be easily used.
However, in order to seize the body, he insisted on rushing into his own Purple Mansion Spirit Platform.
Now he was no longer afraid of others finding out, and he used his Dao-Merging Saint body without any scruples.
Hearing Hu Le's almost scathing words, Qingyuan was filled with remorse.
He thought he had finally found a suitable vessel, and a soft target that he could manipulate at will, but he never expected that such a terrifying existence was hidden within his body...
However, things had come to this point, and it was too late for him to feel regret...
"So be it! Perhaps this is my fate..."
With the last sigh, Qingyuan's remaining thought dissipated into nothingness...
Hu Le's primordial spirit immediately opened his arms and plunged into the ball of pure energy. His entire body instantly transformed into a ball of immortal light, enveloping the pure energy and beginning to absorb the innate essence remaining after Qingyuan's fall.
He also sorted out and absorbed countless fragmented and chaotic memories.
The experiences of Qingyuan's life unfolded slowly in his mind like a scroll painting...
His life was quite eventful.
In ancient times, he started as an ordinary innate deity, gradually experiencing countless hardships and tribulations, and finally became Taiyi.
Just when he saw a glimmer of hope for becoming a Great Luo Dao Lord, the War of the Ancient Gods suddenly broke out, and he was inadvertently caught in the crossfire.
After encountering a powerful enemy, not only was his physical body and primordial spirit destroyed, but his own immortal palace was also knocked down from the sky by a single palm strike and fell into the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
Over the years, his lingering soul has been clinging to life within the jade tablet of the celestial palace.
He had always hoped to find a suitable body to escape this predicament.
He endured endless loneliness and solitude, waiting and waiting, until now, when Hu Le finally came.
He thought that as long as he took over Hu Le's body, he could leave the Immortal Palace and be free to roam the world, living a second life. With his previous cultivation experience, he believed he could easily regain the Taiyi Dao Fruit.
But unexpectedly, he encountered such a terrifying being. Not only did he fail to possess the body, but he also lost his own life, losing his last chance to survive...
After a long time, Hu Le finally devoured Qingyuan's remaining innate essence and also received all of his memories.
If it were an ordinary wandering immortal, even if Qingyuan had completely perished, they wouldn't be qualified to completely absorb all of Qingyuan's memories.
Qingyuan's lifelong understanding of the Great Dao is something that ordinary wandering immortals cannot comprehend.
That is, Hu Le, whose primordial spirit was originally at the level of a Dao-Merging Saint.
Let alone the lifelong memories of a mere Taiyi, even if it were a Daluo or a Saint, it wouldn't have the slightest effect on him...
After Hu Le had digested everything about Qingyuan, he had a comprehensive understanding of the Yunhua Immortal Palace. He went directly into the hall and began refining the jade tablet.
It wasn't that he suddenly became interested in this somewhat dilapidated immortal palace, but rather that the location of the immortal palace's treasure vault was rather mysterious. If he couldn't refine the Guardian Jade Tablet and completely control the immortal palace, he simply wouldn't be able to enter the treasure vault.
After spending several days refining the Immortal Mansion's core, he stood up and inserted several talismans into the jade tablet.
Suddenly, the jade tablet trembled violently, and boundless immortal light burst forth. Immediately afterwards, a three-legged bronze cauldron, half the height of a person, slowly emerged from the immortal light.
The ancient bronze cauldron slowly rotated under the radiant light.
Upon seeing the bronze cauldron appear, Hu Le jumped into the air without saying a word, disappearing into the cauldron in the blink of an eye.
The next second, he found himself in a spacious hall.
His gaze swept around the hall, finally settling on a jade table in the center.
On the jade table stood a nine-story glazed pagoda, about a foot tall.
Qingyuan's lifelong collection is inside that glazed pagoda.
According to Qingyuan's memories, the first level of the pagoda contained some precious innate medicinal herbs.
The second layer stores innate spiritual materials.
As for the third floor, it houses some spiritual treasures.
The fourth floor contains some auspicious beasts that he keeps in captivity.
The fifth layer contains some golden pills.
...
The glass pagoda was now tightly closed, and it was also protected by some restrictions.
Each layer has different restrictions, requiring different methods to open.
Hu Le arrived at the jade table and immediately set his sights on the ninth floor of the pagoda.
This layer contains the gold and jade books that Qingyuan collected throughout his life, and the second volume of the Heavenly Book that Hu Le needs may be located in this layer.
Hu Le cast several restrictive talismans on the glazed pagoda. The next moment, the pagoda shone brightly, and its body changed accordingly. In the blink of an eye, it rose from the jade table and transformed into a hundred-zhang-tall pagoda suspended in mid-air.
Hu Le flew directly to the ninth floor, cast several talismans in front of the door, and with a boom, the tower door opened.
Hu Le looked into the tower and saw that it contained a space several miles in circumference.
Clusters of purple energy swirled within the space, and from the depths of the purple energy, various colored lights flickered and danced from time to time.
Hu Le could see clearly that the radiance was none other than the traces left by the flying golden seals and jade tablets.
At the same time, a familiar surge of emotion rose within him once again.
It seems that what he needs is indeed hidden in the pagoda on this floor.
Hu Le stepped inside, and the door closed silently behind him.
Then, his gaze swept around and quickly locked onto a stream of light. He summoned a large hand of primordial energy and instantly grabbed the light in his hand, discovering that it was a jade talisman containing a sealed innate great divine power...
