Inside the Lingyun Palace on Penglai Island, Hu Le sat down, and Miao Zhen personally presented him with a cup of fragrant tea, telling him about some things that happened on the island.
Of course, nothing major has happened on the island in recent years.
Miaozhen herself has been diligently cultivating on the island ever since...
In the following days, Hu Le gave Miao Zhen some pointers on some difficulties in her cultivation, and then let her go back to cultivate on her own.
In her previous life, Miaozhen was only one step away from reaching the Great Luo realm. After being reincarnated, she was enlightened by Hu Le and had already awakened her memories of her previous life.
With the added advantage of her cultivation experience from her previous life, her cultivation speed was naturally extremely fast.
Therefore, although she started her training much later than her second senior sister Yuan Huang, her cultivation level has gradually caught up with Yuan Huang's.
As for her two senior brothers, Kongkong'er and Jingjing'er, in terms of cultivation, they had long been left far behind by her.
Hu Le was very pleased with his disciple's growth. After resting on Penglai Island for two days and giving Miaozhen some guidance on cultivation, he left Penglai Island again and headed towards the depths of the East China Sea.
One of the fragments of Pangu's primordial spirit fell into the East Sea, and he followed it with a mysterious intuition.
One day, he finally arrived above an island, stopped his auspicious cloud, and lowered his gaze to look at the island.
This island is about a thousand miles in circumference, shaped like a gourd, and covered with lush greenery, presenting a verdant scene.
Three continuous mountain peaks stand in the center of the island, the tallest of which is about 10,000 feet high, its summit shrouded in clouds and mist.
Deep within the clouds and mist, a magnificent celestial palace looms in and out, exuding an aura of mystery.
Hu Le used his divine sense to locate the fragments of Pangu's primordial spirit, then descended on auspicious clouds towards the island.
Meanwhile, the master of the celestial palace noticed Hu Le's arrival, immediately got up and left the palace, flying towards Hu Le's location.
Before Hu Le even landed on the island, the man had already arrived on auspicious clouds opposite him. Upon seeing Hu Le, the man immediately recognized Hu Le's identity.
"It's actually the Dongxuan Emperor in person! Greetings."
The man bowed to Hu Le.
Hu Le returned the greeting and asked with a smile, "May I ask how you are addressed, fellow Daoist?"
Although he once dominated a region in the East Sea and knew many cultivators there, that did not mean he knew all the cultivators in the East Sea.
He had never seen this person before, at least not the one in front of him.
However, although Hu Le did not know him, he could recognize Hu Le, and Hu Le himself did not find it strange.
After all, there are countless people in the primordial world who recognize him. Who knows how this person recognized him? In any case, as long as this person doesn't stop him from collecting the fragments of Pangu's primordial spirit, he is unwilling to harm this person's cultivation...
"Thank you for asking, Your Majesty. I am Dongyuan Daoist."
"Oh, so you are Fellow Daoist Dongyuan."
Hu Le glanced at Dongyuan Daoist and saw that this person's cultivation level was not bad in the East Sea area. It seemed that he was only one step away from becoming Taiyi.
Of course, it's only one step away, seemingly within easy reach of the Taiyi Dao Fruit.
In fact, this step can stop 99% of cultivators.
Countless innate deities have fallen at this step...
"May I ask what brings Your Majesty to my island? If there is anything I can do to help, please feel free to give the order."
The Taoist of Dongyuan spoke very politely and his attitude was quite respectful.
Hu Le nodded in satisfaction and said with a smile, "I came to this island to collect something that is destined for me. I hope you can do me a favor."
Upon hearing this, Daoist Dongyuan was taken aback, and his heart began to pound.
What kind of treasure is it?
Is it worth it for the Lord of Heaven to personally come here?
But that doesn't make sense!
Millions of years ago, after he was born from this island, he used it as his training ground. It can be said that he was very familiar with every plant and tree on the island, and he should have discovered any treasures there long ago.
How could we possibly wait for someone else to collect it...?
His mind raced, and he tentatively asked, "May I ask Your Majesty, what kind of treasure is it that would warrant Your Majesty's personal descent to this humble island?"
Hu Le laughed and said, "Come with me for a walk, and you'll understand once you see it for yourself."
“That’s fine!” Daoist Dongyuan agreed.
Then, Hu Le descended from the auspicious cloud and arrived at a bamboo forest in the center of the island. After passing through the bamboo forest, a towering cliff appeared in front of him.
From afar, Hu Le raised his hand and pointed, unleashing a divine thunderbolt.
With a loud bang!
The divine lightning exploded and struck the cliff.
In an instant, the cliff turned into a pile of dust.
At the same time, a ball of clear light suddenly shot up from the ground and flew towards Hu Le.
Hu Le reached out and grabbed Qing Guang in his hand.
Holding the fragment of Pangu's primordial spirit, he felt a surge of emotion. Compared to the previous two times, this time it seemed to have gone much more smoothly...
Daoist Dongyuan first glanced at the cliff that had turned to ashes, then looked at the pure energy that was constantly flowing uncertainly in Hu Le's hands, and his heart was filled with regret.
Who would have thought that such a treasure was hidden inside an ordinary cliff?
Although he didn't know the origin of this pure energy, the fact that it could attract Hu Le, the Human Emperor and Lord of Heaven, to travel thousands of miles to come in person showed just how precious this thing must be.
At this moment, he was filled with countless regrets.
"If I had known it would be like this, I would have searched the entire immortal island thoroughly to plunder it..."
Hu Le arrived at his dojo and took the treasures from the dojo right in front of him.
Isn't this a different kind of NTR...?
Despite his frustration, he remained rational and didn't dare to ask Hu Le for it.
"May I ask Your Majesty, what is this?" Daoist Dongyuan asked, suppressing his heartache.
Hu Le glanced at Dongyuan Daoist and slowly put the Yuanling fragment into his Purple Mansion Spirit Platform.
"This is something left behind by Pangu, and it has little to do with you."
Hu Le's words are actually quite right. This item originally belonged to him. Only Pangu and the Three Pure Ones were qualified to compete with him. As for the others, they could only watch helplessly.
Otherwise, this fragment of the primordial spirit would have been hidden inside the cliff for hundreds of millions of years. If it were destined for someone else, it would have been taken long ago. How could it have remained until now, waiting for him to collect it...
"Ah! I see. I was being presumptuous."
Daoist Dongyuan gave an embarrassed smile and dared not press the matter any further.
There were rumors in the cultivation world of the East Sea that this Dongxuan Emperor had a bad temper and was particularly ruthless.
They especially liked to hang people from flagpoles.
Over the years, countless cultivators have fallen victim to this man.
Even those with great supernatural powers have lost several to him, and those who are lucky enough to survive are often left looking disheveled.
Those demon clansmen, and Dijiang and his ilk—weren't they all renowned figures in the primordial world, each dominating their own territory? But once they clashed with this one, none of them came out on top.
Anyway, he figured he couldn't afford to offend them...
