Hu Le opened a spiritual acupoint and planted the longevity fruit tree there.
Because the fruit trees had been contaminated by the blood-red energy, although they looked vibrant, their spiritual energy had actually become extremely mixed.
If this continues unchecked, not only will the fruit produced be much less effective, but the entire spiritual root will also drop in grade...
These situations seem very serious, but they are nothing to Hu Le.
He took out the jade bottle containing the Three Lights Divine Water, drew out three drops, and used a secret technique to dissolve them, turning them into a hazy, seven-colored mist.
Then, he used a secret technique to urge the misty air to wash around the Longevity Fruit Tree, forcing out the bloodthirsty energy of the tree seed.
Finally, all the mist merged into the tree.
Nourished by the Three Lights Divine Water, the entire fruit tree became even more lush and delightful, its vitality growing stronger, and the tree was surrounded by shimmering spiritual light...
After planting the longevity fruit tree, Hu Le picked a few fruits from the tree, returned to the palace, gave two to the Treasure-Offering Heavenly Lord, kept two for himself, and ordered the heavenly maiden to take the rest to offer to Taiyi and the Heavenly Empress, which was his way of showing filial piety...
Next, he took out the array flag that had been suppressed in the purple gourd space.
Now that the Eastern King has fallen, the array banners have become completely ownerless, and all that remains deep within the restriction is a trace of primordial spirit imprint.
He was about to activate his magical power and primordial spirit to forcibly erase the primordial spirit within the flag.
Suddenly, a celestial maiden appeared outside the palace, requesting an audience, saying she was on the orders of His Majesty Taiyi to invite him over.
Hu Le had no choice but to stop what he was doing, put away the flags, and head towards the Tongming Hall.
After being informed, they entered the Tongming Hall. Taiyi sat in his usual spot. After Hu Le bowed and greeted him, he began to give instructions.
"Disciple, how long have you been a disciple of your master?" Taiyi asked.
Hu Le was puzzled, but still replied, "I've almost forgotten exactly how long it's been, but it's been just over 20,000 years."
He has already attained the Golden Immortal realm, and as long as he doesn't encounter any calamities, he can live forever. What meaning does time hold for him? He naturally can't be bothered to calculate it...
Taiyi nodded slightly. "Hehe...it hasn't been that long! Over the years, I've been busy with my own cultivation and handling Heavenly Court affairs, and I've rarely guided your cultivation. Have you ever harbored any resentment?"
For Taiyi, time is calculated in cycles of ten thousand years; a mere ten thousand years is not even enough for a nap.
"How dare I!"
Hu Le quickly explained, "It is already a great fortune for me to be able to become your disciple, Master. I am even more grateful for your generous teachings. Moreover, Master's wife treats me with great care and regards me as her own child."
If that's the case, how dare this disciple harbor resentment? How could he possibly stand between heaven and earth with such a face...?
"It's good that you have this intention. Now I have a good thing to give you, which can be considered as compensation for what you did before." Taiyi finally got to the point.
Hu Le's eyes lit up, and without caring what benefits Taiyi offered, he immediately accepted them without hesitation.
"Since the teacher is willing to show mercy to his disciple, how dare the disciple disobey?"
"Could it be that Master is planning to give me a whole basket of innate spiritual treasures? That's not a good idea. This disciple isn't greedy. Ten or twenty pieces would be enough. I don't need that many!"
Taiyi almost laughed out of anger at his greedy disciple.
"You unfilial disciple, this isn't just greed? As a cultivator, how can you achieve the Great Dao if you are so attached to external things? You are truly unworthy of being a son!"
Hu Le listened obediently to the lecture, but he didn't take it seriously.
With the Chaos Bell in hand, this teacher naturally doesn't need to care about other material possessions.
This is a supreme treasure from the beginning of creation, possessing both offensive and defensive capabilities, and capable of suppressing the fortune of major sects. Even a hundred or a thousand innate spiritual treasures could not buy it.
It's easy for you to talk when you're not the one suffering...
Taiyi, of course, was unaware that his disciple was secretly criticizing him. After giving him a stern lecture, he continued the previous topic.
"Now that the Eastern King has perished and the Penglai Island lineage has been destroyed, such blessed lands are crucial for the transmutation of the primordial earth veins. They cannot be left idle; someone needs to go and suppress them..."
Whether it's Zhou Mountain, Kunlun, or even Yujing Mountain... these are all top-tier blessed lands in the primordial world, many of which are the origin of primordial spiritual veins or nodes where the spiritual energy of the earth veins operates.
A cultivator needs to be stationed there to check the operation of the earth veins from time to time. If the spiritual energy of the earth veins is found to be disordered or the operation becomes obstructed, someone needs to use great magical power to suppress or straighten the earth veins again.
Although it is hard work, it is also a great act of merit.
A job that many people want but cannot get.
Zhou Mountain is guarded by the Heavenly Court, and the earth's veins are governed by the Heavenly Court.
Yujing Mountain is the Daoist temple of Hongjun Laozu, so there is no need to worry about the condition of the earth's veins.
In the East Kunlun Mountains are the Three Pure Ones, in the West Kunlun Mountains are the Queen Mother of the West, and in the West, the Sumeru Mountain veins are jointly managed by two great supernatural beings, Jieyin and Zhunti.
Originally, Penglai Immortal Island belonged to the Eastern King Duke, so the task of suppressing the earth's veins was naturally his responsibility.
This Penglai Immortal Island is the source of the East Sea's earth veins. Now it has become an unclaimed land. Without the Eastern King Duke to suppress and regulate it, if the earth veins' spiritual energy becomes stagnant or stagnant over time, the entire East Sea's earth veins may collapse...
Hu Le has been living in the prehistoric world for so many years, so he is naturally familiar with these things.
What puzzled him was why Taiyi was saying all this to him. Could it be...?
Sure enough, Taiichi's next words confirmed his guess.
"As my disciple, you should accomplish something. Now, I entrust you with the important task of suppressing the Penglai earth veins. Do you dare to accept it?"
This...this...does this even need consideration?!
Taiyi was clearly preparing to bestow this top-tier blessed land upon him as his Daoist practice site; only a fool would refuse.
That makes sense. As a disciple of the Heavenly Emperor, he always walked around the Heavenly Palace. If he didn't have a certain divine position or official rank, it would be somewhat awkward for outsiders to see him.
Originally, he thought that Taiyi would find him a Star God position to get rid of him in the future. After all, with his current level of cultivation, if he were to be given an important divine position, he might not be able to suppress him.
But now, such a great benefit has actually fallen into his lap, which makes him feel both moved and surprised.
Hu Le thought to himself: My teacher still loves me!
He stepped forward and said righteously, "As your disciple, it is my bounden duty to protect the primordial world and safeguard all living beings. Now that my teacher is willing to entrust me with such an important task, I dare not fail to do my best!"
Upon hearing such audacious words, Taiyi shook his head slightly, feeling both amused and exasperated.
This wretched creature has quite the thick skin; I wonder where it learned that from?
But this is for the best. There are too many shameless people in the prehistoric world. If someone is too aloof, they might suffer a great loss when they go out to do things...
