Hu Le rode the clouds all the way to Tianyang Mountain and stepped into the blessed land.
By this time, all the Phoenix Clan and Qilin Clan members had already disappeared.
The entire grotto was now empty, and with the previous clashes between the people, this once beautiful and blessed place was now in complete disarray.
Hu Le rode on auspicious clouds to the palace complex on the mountaintop and landed on the clouds in front of the palace gate.
Stepping into the palace, it was quite deserted since everyone had already left.
Hu Le scanned the area with his divine sense and finally arrived at a medicinal herb garden.
At this time, most of the spiritual roots and immortal herbs in the herb garden had been pulled up clean.
At this moment, he finally remembered that the Treasure-Offering Heavenly Lord was still in the universe within his palm.
She quickly raised her hand and released him.
As soon as the Treasure-Offering Heavenly Lord emerged, he quickly looked around and breathed a sigh of relief when he realized that Daoist Xuancheng and the others were gone.
"Big brother, are you alright?"
"Hmm," Hu Le nodded, then sighed, "I'm fine, but you're probably going to be disappointed."
Looking at the almost empty medicine garden and spirit field, the Treasure Offering Heavenly Lord knew exactly what had happened.
He forced a smile and said, "It's alright. I didn't have high hopes to begin with. Maybe Fuyaozi was lying from the start, and there's no such thing as a magical herb in the world."
Hu Le said, "No, maybe he wasn't lying to us..."
As he spoke, he walked to a spirit field that was situated on relatively high ground.
Although this spiritual field may not appear to have anything special on the surface, a closer look reveals that the earth energy contained in the soil is somewhat different from that of the surrounding spiritual fields.
He circled the spirit field once, finally arriving at its center. He pointed to the ground beneath his feet, revealing a prayer mat, and then turned to give an instruction to the Treasure Offering Heavenly Lord who was following behind him.
"You shall stand by my side and protect me."
Having said that, he sat down cross-legged and began to silently practice the incantation.
Although the Heavenly Lord of Offering Treasures did not understand why, he still stood obediently to the side and quietly watched Hu Le do his thing.
A short while later.
As Hu Le instilled several talismans into the spirit field, the Treasure Offering Heavenly Lord clearly felt the spirit field beneath his feet suddenly tremble, and the earth energy began to surge like a tide, converging towards the place where Hu Le was sitting.
As the earth's energy gathered, a crimson mist of blood slowly rose from the ground under its pressure.
At first, it seeped upwards in wisps, but gradually, it completely turned into a thick fog.
"This is?"
The Heavenly Lord of Offering Treasures stared in astonishment at the ever-changing, crimson mist before him.
Within this dense fog, he clearly sensed a vast, ancient, profound, and timeless aura.
This aura was so powerful that it seemed to reach the heavens, and even a fleeting moment of sensing it caused the Heavenly Lord of Offering Treasures to tremble with fear.
At that moment, a hint of joy appeared on Hu Le's face as he cast a talisman into the red mist.
The originally drifting blood mist began to gather continuously, gradually condensing into a round, bright red drop of blood.
Hu Le extended his index finger, and a drop of blood slowly drifted onto his fingertip, spinning around and around.
"Brother, what is this..." the Treasure Offering Heavenly Lord asked in confusion. In his heart, he also knew that this drop of blood was probably no ordinary thing.
"This is the drop of heart's blood that Fuyaozi mentioned before, which fell on Mount Buzhou when Pangu transformed into all things," Hu Le said with a smile.
"However, it's a pity that some of the essence of this drop of blood was taken away by the Heavenly Heart Grass, making it less perfect."
The Heavenly Lord of Treasures was startled upon hearing this, but quickly came to his senses.
"So, what Fuyaozi said wasn't entirely a lie, and there really is such a Heavenly Heart Grass in the world?"
Hu Le nodded in agreement.
The Heavenly Lord of Offering Treasures' expression shifted repeatedly, from surprise to regret, and finally to endless annoyance.
Even if such a miraculous herb truly existed in the world, it has already been moved away. Forget about getting your hands on it, you don't even have the chance to catch a glimpse of it anymore.
After a while, he finally recovered and kept comforting himself.
This thing may not be meant for me, and I cannot force it...
But... but why am I so unwilling to accept this...?
He turned to look at Hu Le, only to see Hu Le swallow all of Pangu's blood in one gulp.
He refined a drop of Pangu's essence blood and thus created the true form of Pangu.
At this moment, he found another drop of Pangu's heart blood. If he could refine it again, his physical body would surely be elevated to a higher level once more...
"Since Fuyaozi knows about the existence of Pangu's heart blood, why doesn't he refine it like his elder brother?"
After composing himself, the Treasure-Offering Heavenly Lord asked curiously.
He was indeed puzzled. While the Heavenly Heart Grass was good, it was nothing compared to Pangu's heart blood.
If he had known about the existence of such a drop of blood essence, he would have already refined it to increase his strength. There would have been no need for Hu Le to come and collect it...
Upon hearing the question posed by the Treasure-Offering Heavenly Lord, Hu chuckled.
"You really think just anyone can refine Pangu's essence blood? If I hadn't had a special opportunity to obtain Pangu's secret technique in the past, I might not be able to do anything about this drop of blood now."
After hearing the explanation, the Treasure-Offering Heavenly Lord had no more questions and was filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred for Hu Le's good fortune.
"Alas! What a pity that Fuyaozi escaped. Otherwise, that Heavenly Heart Grass would never have escaped my grasp!"
Upon hearing this, Hu Le gave a strange smile, "Heh... escaped? I doubt it."
Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Lord of Offering Treasures was immediately taken aback.
Hearing the implication in Hu Le's words, a glimmer of hope suddenly rose in his heart...
"Big brother, you mean..."
Hu Le didn't deliberately tease the Treasure-Presenting Heavenly Lord, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, from the beginning, I could tell this person was strange, and I deliberately secretly intercepted a trace of his aura..."
"Haha..." Upon hearing this, the Treasure-Preserving Heavenly Lord laughed and exclaimed, "Elder brother is indeed cautious in his actions! No... it should be said that he has calculated everything perfectly."
With a trace of Fu Yaozi's aura in hand, even if he has fled to the ends of the earth, the two of them can easily find him...
Over the years, Hu Le has also specially practiced some secret techniques and supernatural abilities to track people's movements.
Unlike before, when we needed Duobao's help to do this kind of thing...
At the insistence of the Treasure-Offering Heavenly Lord, Hu Le went to the back hall, found the treasure vault, and went inside to find that it was also empty.
The Treasure-Offering Heavenly Lord wasn't particularly disappointed. The reason he came was simply because his obsessive-compulsive side was acting up; he wouldn't feel at ease until he saw it for himself...
Finally, the two left the cave. Hu Le took out the aura from Fu Yaozi and immediately activated his secret technique.
Before long, Hu Le had determined the location...
Of course, this is also because his skills are insufficient, and he has not yet mastered the art of divination.
Otherwise, why would it be so complicated?
I'm afraid we won't even need that aura; just knowing the name and doing some calculations will be enough to deduce the other party's exact location...
