Upon returning to the Gonggong tribe, Hu Le rested while frequently receiving elders and high-ranking officials. At the same time, he ordered someone to go to Penglai Island to invite the Treasure-Offering Heavenly Lord to come here.
The chiefs of some nearby satellite tribes also came to pay homage, hoping to become familiar with him.
Some time later, the Heavenly Lord of Offering Treasures arrived belatedly.
There was no need for excessive formalities between the two. After exchanging a few pleasantries, Hu Le handed over the affairs of the tribe to him.
The reason he urgently summoned the Treasure-Offering Heavenly Lord was naturally for this.
The Treasure-Offering Heavenly Lord shook his head helplessly. He had long known that this elder brother in front of him preferred to be a hands-off manager, and he had been mentally prepared for this before he came.
After grumbling to himself for a moment, he still obediently took over some of the work from Hu Le.
Hu Le was finally able to relax and had the opportunity to do something extremely important to him as the clan chief.
...
The dwellings of the Gonggong tribe were mostly located on a plain on the north bank of the Yellow River, while the chieftain lived at the foot of a mountain in the center of the plain.
This mountain is called Buyou Kongfang Mountain.
It can be considered a top-grade blessed land on the primordial land.
The mountain's geological veins are connected to the Yellow River's water veins, making it extremely rich in spiritual energy.
Besides the main hall where the chief resided, the residences of other tribal leaders were also mostly built on this mountain.
As for the tribe's most important temple, it was built on the summit of Buyoukongfang Mountain, specifically for worshipping the Heavenly Way and communicating with the Human Emperor...
On this day, Hu Le came to the temple alone.
The temple is a complex of stone buildings that stretches across the mountaintop, appearing extremely ancient and majestic amidst the clouds and mist.
Upon learning of Hu Le's arrival, You Fang, the high priest of the Gonggong tribe, led a group of priests out of the temple to greet him.
This priest, Youfang, was not originally from the Gonggong tribe, but was sent from the ancestral court of the human race thousands of years ago. He was not one of the same kind as Gonggong.
Therefore, after Hu Le succeeded as clan chief, he did not do anything to You Fang, but treated him with even more courtesy.
You Fang, of course, was a pragmatic person and immediately expressed his loyalty to Hu Le...
Upon seeing Hu Le arrive today, You Fang warmly welcomed him inside.
When Hu Le arrived at the main hall, he offered three sticks of incense in front of the statue of the late Emperor Jiutou, and then went to the statue of Empress Jinde and silently prayed a few words.
After doing all this, Hu Le toured the temple with You Fang, then ordered You Fang and the others to leave, and went to the back hall of the temple alone.
In the courtyard of the rear hall, ancient cypress trees cast a cool shade, and under a ginkgo tree that is thick enough for six people to hug, there is an ancient well.
Hu Le walked to the ancient well and tapped the ground three times with his bamboo cane.
"Knock knock knock!"
The next moment, a gushing spring gushed out of the ancient well, and then a dragon head emerged from the well, opened a pair of majestic and piercing dragon eyes, looked at Hu Le, and spoke.
"Are you the new chieftain of the tribe?"
Hu Le smiled and nodded: "That's right, it is indeed me, Hu!"
He knew that this dragon was not a pure dragon, but a primordial spirit beast born from the water veins of the well. It was created by nature and nurtured by the earth, and its appearance in the world was merely a five-clawed golden dragon, without any trace of dragon blood.
After being captured by Gonggong, it was sealed inside a well, which was then used to circulate the spiritual veins of the Empty Fang Mountain.
It has always been fed by humans and nourished by their fortune, so it can be considered a spirit beast kept by the tribe...
"Hmph! Your new clan leader doesn't seem to be much better. In terms of imposing presence, he's far inferior to Gonggong."
Jinlong muttered something and spat out a bright, round bead.
"I know you came here for it. Here, take it."
After saying that, the five-clawed golden dragon blew a breath, and the bead slowly floated towards Hu Le.
Hu Le reached out and took the pearl, infusing it with a human aura. The pearl immediately shone brightly, and rays of merit rose into the sky, illuminating the entire Buyou Kongfang Mountain.
This bead is called the Primordial Purity Bead. It was formed from a wisp of primordial pure energy and a segment of primordial indestructible spiritual light at the time of the creation of the world.
Among them, he also obtained a wisp of the merit of creation. Although it could not be used for combat, it had a unique effect on purifying the mind, dispelling evil and obscurity, and suppressing the fortune of a clan.
After it was obtained by the Nine-Headed Clan, it was given to Gonggong so that he could use it to suppress the fortune of the Gonggong tribe.
Now that Hu Le has become the clan chief, he naturally needs to erase the primordial spirit imprint of Gonggong from the precious pearl, re-refine the treasure, and completely control the destiny of the Gonggong tribe.
Hu Le put away the precious pearl, and the strange phenomena in the sky dissipated. Hu Le then instructed the golden dragon, "Alright! You may leave now."
As the sacred beast of the Gonggong tribe, the five-clawed golden dragon naturally could not disobey the chieftain's command and immediately retreated back into the well.
Hu Le arrived under the ginkgo tree, pointed to the ground, and revealed a futon.
He sat cross-legged on the futon, took out the Innate Purity Pearl again, held it in his palm, and separated a part of his primordial spirit and put it into the pearl, which transformed into a sixteen-foot-tall strong man, surrounded by a misty pure aura.
Hu Le's distraction caused him to reach out and grab at the air, whereupon a verdant bamboo staff appeared in his palm. He then slashed at the clear energy in front of him, instantly parting a path of pure light.
He carried his bamboo cane, stepped onto Qingguang Avenue, and walked forward.
After traveling for a short while, a mysterious yellow light flowed ahead. Looking up, they saw a dignified deity sitting cross-legged in the void, which was the transformation of Gonggong's primordial spirit.
Seeing Hu Le arrive distracted, Yuan Ling stood up, a Ruyi hook appearing in her palm, and attacked Hu Le. Hu Le raised his staff to meet the attack, and the two instantly clashed.
...
From the eye of the East Sea, Gonggong sensed the changes within the Pure Pearl. His expression changed, and he thought fiercely, "You brat! Trying to bully me again! I will never let you get away with this!"
Unfortunately, he was suppressed in the eye of the sea, and as long as Empress Jinde lived in the world, he would never be able to escape.
Now all I can do is harden my heart!
...
Inside the Pure Pearl.
Hu Le was at a disadvantage after a few rounds of fighting with Gonggong.
The opponent was ultimately at the Great Luo realm. Even if it was just a primordial spirit with low intelligence, it was still beyond Hu Le's ability to withstand. The reason he was able to defeat this person was thanks to the One Yuan Hui magic power and Chaos Bell lent to him by Taiyi.
It's difficult to eliminate this primordial spirit with my own power right now.
However, since he dared to take action, he already had a complete plan in mind...
With a thought, Hu Le sent the Kongtong Seal flying out of his sleeve. He raised his hand and pointed, sending the Kongtong Seal, carrying a ball of five-colored light, toward Gonggong.
Gonggong coughed and exhaled a beam of mysterious light, which instantly transformed into a curtain of water that spread above his head...
Outside the precious pearl.
Hu Le gently tossed the Purification Pearl, and the pearl immediately flew up, hovering in mid-air, spinning wildly, and drooping down streams of innate pure energy.
He then rummaged in his sleeve for a while and took out dozens of array flags.
The banner was about a foot tall, entirely silver-white, and shrouded in a hazy starlight.
He held the array flags in his arms, made hand seals, and stepped on the Dipper. He circled the Pure Pearl several times, and one by one, the array flags were planted in the ground. In the blink of an eye, an array was set up.
...
At the same time, Ziwei, who was sitting peacefully in the Heavenly Court, suddenly felt a stirring in her mind and received a mysterious summons.
After a brief moment of sensing, a smile crept onto his lips. He silently channeled his divine power, and the Purple Star in the starry sky immediately shone brightly...
