Hu Le looked the monkey up and down, nodded slightly, and asked softly with a smile, "Why aren't you staying down the mountain to guard the gate for me? What brings you here in such a hurry? Could it be that you're thinking of leaving this place?"
Hu Le's words exposed his thoughts, and the Hongmeng Demon Ape's originally cheerful expression instantly collapsed, wilting like a frostbitten eggplant.
He scratched the back of his head somewhat awkwardly, chuckled twice, and hurriedly explained, "Hehehe, Daoist Master, you are truly a master strategist! My little scheme couldn't possibly escape your notice."
However, as you can see, this Fuli Palace is the location of your Daoist temple, and its divine power is truly awe-inspiring!
Let alone ordinary people, even the most daring person would probably not dare to trespass on this place.
I have been diligently guarding the mountain gate here for over 100,000 years, yet I have never seen a single person.
Since that's the case, why bother me to continue guarding your mountain gate?
Therefore, I humbly request that Your Excellency be magnanimous and merciful, and allow me to depart now…
Hu Le's lips curled slightly upwards as he glanced at the monkey head with a half-smile, and slowly said, "You certainly have a silver tongue, daring to claim that no one dares to offend my temple. But the truth is probably not so."
Have you already forgotten that there was once a reckless and audacious monkey who dared to barge into my Fuli Palace without any restraint? What's worse, he even stole my magical treasure!
"If you refuse to dutifully guard this mountain gate for me, what if one day while I'm away from home, such arrogant fools appear again to cause trouble and create chaos? Wouldn't that be a terrible spoils of the occasion?"
Upon hearing this, the Hongmeng Demon Ape's already furry face instantly turned a faint crimson as if it had been burned.
He wasn't stupid; how could he not realize that the monkey Hu Le was referring to was himself?
Just then, the blue-robed boy and the red-jade boy standing beside Hu Le simultaneously cast disdainful glances at the Hongmeng Demon Ape and rolled their eyes.
Then, they playfully stuck out their pink tongues and made faces, as if asking in unison, "This shameless monkey, doesn't he know anything about shame?"
Unfortunately, the shamelessness of this Primordial Demon Ape was beyond everyone's imagination. Faced with such ridicule and mockery, he not only showed no shame, but instead threw a tantrum in the main hall.
He knelt down and begged for mercy, pleading and pleading, using every trick in the book to try and get Hu Le to show leniency and spare him this time.
Hu Le gradually grew impatient and, too lazy to argue with him any further, swept his sleeve and sent him out of Fuli Palace.
After successfully driving away the Primordial Demon Ape, Hu Le rested briefly, then summoned the attendant beside him, whispered a few instructions, and sent him away.
In the blink of an eye, Hu Le was left all alone in the huge hall.
Immediately afterwards, Hu Le casually reached into his robes and quickly took out a scroll of the Primordial Golden List.
Not long ago, in Hongmeng City, although he had devoted himself to studying this treasure for a long time, he still failed to fully comprehend the Hongmeng Dao contained within it.
Now that he has finally returned to his own dojo and has no other important matters to attend to, Hu Le is determined to seize this opportunity to continue exploring the mysteries of the Primordial Golden List.
The moment the Primordial Golden List appeared in Hu Le's palm, it seemed to come alive instantly, silently floating up on its own.
In the blink of an eye, it had risen into the air and began to emit dazzling, colorful radiance, like a series of colorful neon lights intertwining and reflecting, making people dazzled and mesmerized.
However, before the aura of the Great Dao contained within these rays of light could dissipate outwards, Hu Le simply and casually flicked his sleeve.
In an instant, the entire hall trembled violently, accompanied by a deep humming sound, and a magnificent and intricate array suddenly appeared on the ground.
This grand formation, like a giant golden light curtain, rose from the ground with lightning speed, quickly and tightly enveloping the entire hall, forming an indestructible barrier that firmly sealed all the aura of the Great Dao within the hall, preventing even the slightest trace from leaking out.
In the next instant, Hu Le, who had been sitting quietly on Biyou's bed, suddenly began to stretch out inexplicably.
As if being pulled by an invisible force, Hu Le grew longer and thinner until he finally transformed into a dense purple aura!
This purple aura, as if it had a life of its own, rose up gracefully and slowly rotated around the mysterious and unpredictable Hongmeng Golden List.
Wherever the purple aura passed, it left faint purple streaks, as if they were footprints left in the air.
After the purple aura circled the Hongmeng Golden List once, it rushed straight toward the list without stopping.
With a soft "whoosh," the purple aura instantly disappeared into the Primordial Golden List, vanishing without a trace.
As the purple energy merged in, the Primordial Golden List seemed to be greatly stimulated, and it suddenly trembled violently.
The colorful inscriptions of the Great Dao that had been floating peacefully on the surface of the Golden List now seemed like startled birds, all darting into the depths of the Golden List.
In the blink of an eye, all these Great Dao Instructions disappeared, disappearing into the depths of the Golden List.
However, this is just the beginning.
Immediately afterwards, inside the Hongmeng Golden List, the vanished Great Dao Inscriptions suddenly burst forth with dazzling light. They intertwined and merged, evolving into endless Great Dao Laws before Hu Le's eyes!
These fundamental laws are like dazzling galaxies, crisscrossing and forming a magnificent cosmic picture.
Each avenue contains endless mysteries and immense power, captivating all who behold it and inspiring a desire to become one with it.
Hu Le looked up, his eyes reflecting the boundless laws of the Dao, as if trying to absorb all their essence.
Time slips away quietly, and years pass by in the blink of an eye.
Throughout this long period of time, the magnificent Fuli Palace has stood there quietly, exuding an atmosphere of solitude as always.
This palace silently endures the relentless erosion of time, witnessing the rise and fall of all things in the world.
No one knows exactly how much time has passed; perhaps it has been hundreds of millions of years, or perhaps it has gone through countless cycles of time.
Finally, one day, the once silent Fuli Palace suddenly experienced a slight tremor.
The golden light that had enveloped the main hall suddenly dissipated, as if a thin veil had been gently lifted.
