Hu Le nodded in agreement when faced with Xi He's plea for help.
"Rest assured, fellow Daoist, with me here, you will not perish."
Hearing Hu Le's assurance, Xi He relaxed and fell back into a deep sleep.
Seeing Xihe in such a state, Hu Le immediately knew that she must have been harmed by evil magic.
As he thought this, two orbs of light suddenly flew in from outside the hall and landed in his hands. As the light dissipated, two magical treasures were revealed inside.
One of them is a scroll, which is the Time Treasure Universe Scroll.
The other one is a precious seal, with a mysterious and yellow aura of merit surrounding it, and the flow of human fortune.
This treasure is none other than the Kongtong Seal, a supreme treasure of the human race.
He shook the cosmic map, and the scroll unfurled, gently covering Xihe.
Time seemed to stand still around Xihe, and the life force within her stopped flowing away.
At the same time, Hu Le placed the Kongtong Seal on Xi He's forehead.
The disintegrating divine soul and primordial spirit within Xihe's Purple Mansion were also stabilized once again...
...
The Sun Palace.
Zhu Jiuyin had been bowing to the straw figure for twenty-one days, and it was almost noon, just one more incense stick's time away.
He had already taken the mulberry wood bow and peach wood arrows into his hands, waiting for the appointed time to release the arrows and kill Xihe completely.
Just as success was within reach, he suddenly frowned, as if he had sensed something.
However, his brows relaxed in the blink of an eye. This method had entered its final stage, and even if Xihe realized it, it was already too late.
Thinking this, the time finally arrived. Not wanting to waste any more time, he hurriedly took a peach wood arrow, nocked it on his bow, and aimed at Xihe's left eye.
"Die!"
Zhu Jiuyin finally fired the arrow...
Heavenly Court, Jade Pool Fairy Palace.
Hu Le had already deciphered the secrets of heaven and understood the cause and effect.
"It's actually the Seven Arrows of Nailhead!"
He was quite surprised at the time.
How could he not know the illustrious reputation of this method in later generations?
In the future, during the Investiture of the Gods, wouldn't Zhao Gongming die from this very technique?
But didn't he remember that this technique belonged to Lu Ya of West Kunlun?
But after his calculations, he realized that the one who made the move was Zhu Jiuyin's group!
What exactly happened?
Just as he was wondering, Xihe suddenly trembled violently, and a line of bloody tears suddenly flowed from her left eye.
He was also surprised to see this. Even treasures like the Cosmic Light Diagram and the Kongtong Seal couldn't protect her?
These so-called karmic laws are indeed quite mysterious.
However, he also knew that Xihe was in a life-or-death crisis at this moment, and he could not afford to be sentimental.
With a thought, he summoned the Chaos Bell and placed it directly over Xihe's body.
...
The Sun Palace.
Zhu Jiuyin shot an arrow into the straw man's left eye, and seeing blood and tears flow from it, he couldn't help but smile triumphantly. He then took out a second peach wood arrow and aimed it at the straw man's right eye.
He was about to press his advantage and kill Xihe completely.
He drew his bow, aimed, and the peach wood arrow shot out with a whoosh, hitting the straw man in the right eye.
He was feeling smug, but after waiting a breath, no bloody tears came out of the straw man's right eye, and his smile froze instantly.
Zhu Jiuyin hurriedly moved closer, about to examine it carefully, when suddenly the peach wood arrow fell to the ground with a thud and landed on the incense table.
"this……"
Zhu Jiuyin was quite surprised, thinking to himself: Could it be that I didn't hit it just now? That's impossible...
With doubts lingering in his mind, he retrieved the peach wood arrow and shot it again at the straw man's right eye.
Clearly, he didn't believe in superstition and wanted to try again...
Unfortunately, just like last time, this arrow fell out of the straw man's eye after it was shot.
"What's going on!" Zhu Jiuyin was furious. He then took another peach wood arrow, nocked it on his bow, and this time aimed directly at the straw man's heart.
He loosened his grip, and the arrow shot out silently.
Just when he thought he would hit the target this time, the arrow fell off the straw man again...
...
Yaochi (Jade Pool).
The Chaos Bell, like an inverted bowl, firmly covered Xihe, and boundless light emanated from its surface.
Hu Le stood before the Chaos Bell, his mind completely absorbed in the treasure.
In the darkness, he had already vaguely sensed several attacks from inexplicable forces.
However, it was easily destroyed by the Chaos Bell in the end.
He immediately understood what had happened, and couldn't help but secretly praise: Truly worthy of being called a supreme defensive treasure! It could even block the Seven Arrows of Nailhead...
However, his joy was short-lived. Although he had blocked the spell, according to his calculations, the best way to completely break the spell and restore Xihe to its original state was to retrieve the magical artifact that contained the spell and destroy it.
If he were to personally perform these actions, given his level of cultivation and expertise, he might be able to accomplish them.
But he doesn't want to expose himself yet.
Otherwise, if Di Jun and the others found out that he was protecting Xi He, they would definitely suspect him of what happened to Ju Mang and the others.
Then everything he did before would have been meaningless...
So, his mind raced and he quickly came up with a solution.
He has now become Pangu, and he can master some of Pangu's divine powers and techniques even without cultivation.
Previously, he had been the sole inheritor of the lineages of both the Heavenly Emperor and the Human Emperor, and the supernatural powers and techniques he possessed were as numerous as the stars in the sky.
In terms of the sheer number of supernatural powers and techniques he possesses, even the Three Pure Ones might not be able to compare with him.
Now, after only a little thought, he came up with a supernatural technique.
This technique is called the Celestial Star Disaster Relief and Calamity Elimination Method.
The method of using supernatural powers flowed through his mind. Although he had never studied this method before, with his foundation and realm, he had already completely mastered it after it flowed through his mind once.
He pointed in the hall, and a Dharma platform rose from the ground. With a thought, the Chaos Bell, carrying Xihe, flew up from the cloud bed and floated onto the Dharma platform.
He also rose and ascended the platform, sweeping his sleeve to collect the Cosmic Light Diagram and the Kongtong Seal.
Then he pointed at Xihe again, and Xihe, who had been sleeping soundly, immediately stood up involuntarily. The Chaos Bell was suspended above Xihe's head, and streams of chaotic energy descended, still protecting her.
The next instant, the purple bamboo staff transformed into a beam of purple light and flew from the sky, landing in Hu Le's palm.
He raised his bamboo staff, drawing upon a cluster of starlight that gathered upon it.
Then, he gently tapped Xihe's head, shoulders, chest, and feet with a bamboo staff, and a little starlight fell on each of them.
After the starlight dissipated, it immediately transformed into bright lamps.
These lamps are formed from the essence of the stars, and their light is silvery-white, appearing to have no warmth whatsoever.
After Hu Le lit the Heavenly Star Lamp for Xi He, he protected her three souls, seven spirits, and even her primordial spirit, and then put away the Chaos Bell.
Of course, the Heavenly Star Averting Calamity and Eliminating Calamity method is not as simple as just saving Xihe's life.
Next, he would use this method to completely destroy the opponent's Seven Arrows of Nailhead technique...
