It was just as the great supernatural being's fate was sealed; before his primordial spirit had even escaped far, Princess Yuanrong had already thrown out the sword in her hand.
With a flash of sword light, it traveled thousands of miles like a streak of light, catching up with the primordial spirit. It transformed into a wisp of cold light, and with just a gentle twist around him, the spirit screamed in agony, only to be annihilated, body and soul gone...
After killing the powerful cultivator, Princess Yuanrong breathed a sigh of relief, feeling quite pleased with herself. She reached out and summoned her sword back into its sheath.
"Thank you for saving my life, Immortal Master."
Princess Yuanrong bowed to Hu Le again.
Hu Le waved his hand, "It was just something I did on the spur of the moment, you young man, no need to be so polite."
As Hu Le spoke, he urged the auspicious cloud to fly into the void.
He had no intention of having any further interaction with this junior, and prepared to send the auspicious cloud back to the Shaoyang Realm.
"Immortal Master! Please wait."
Princess Yuanrong naturally didn't want Hu Le to leave just like that. He had saved her life, so she should at least show her gratitude.
Upon hearing Princess Yuanrong's greeting, Hu Le did not turn around. He simply waved his hand again, and with a flash of cloud beneath his feet, he had already vanished ten thousand miles away.
At this moment, the old woman had returned to human form and came to Princess Yuanrong's side, apologetically saying, "This old servant is incompetent and has frightened the princess."
"It's alright, Mother-in-law has worked hard too."
Princess Yuanrong waved her hand dismissively.
This old woman, who raised her from a young age, would never blame her, even if she had done something wrong...
As Princess Yuanrong spoke, her gaze remained fixed on the end of the void. Only when the colorful auspicious clouds beneath Hu Le's feet were completely swallowed by the darkness deep within the void did she withdraw her gaze.
"Alas, I had completely forgotten the immortal's name. I wonder what his background is?"
She muttered something to herself.
Granny Hen said from the side, "Since we didn't find out, we'll go back and see the master, and have him do some calculations. Maybe then we can find out his background."
Yuan Rong nodded slightly.
Her father was one of the few Primordial Saints in this universe, and he was also skilled in the art of divination. Based on cause and effect, it shouldn't be difficult for him to deduce a person's identity...
...
Hu Le's journey was smooth, and he successfully returned to the Shaoyang Realm, where he began to comprehend the Great Dao of Primordial Chaos.
Several months have passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, while he was practicing meditation, a young boy came to report that an old friend from outside had come to see him.
Hu Le scanned the area with his divine sense and immediately recognized the so-called old friend.
Not long ago, he had casually saved Princess Yuanrong, who was now standing gracefully outside the Taoist palace.
Although he was not particularly willing to associate with such juniors, since they had come to him, he had no reason not to refuse.
Moreover, he was also curious about how the other party had found this place.
Hu Le ordered a servant to invite Princess Yuanrong into the palace.
"This humble girl, Yuanrong, greets the Immortal Master and once again expresses her gratitude for saving her life."
Princess Yuanrong bowed to Hu Le and presented him with a gift in gratitude.
Hu Le raised his hand and pointed, and a futon appeared beneath Princess Yuanrong. "Please sit down."
Princess Yuanrong handed the gift to the boy standing to the side.
Thank you.
After thanking her, Yuan Rong sat down.
"How did you find my village? I don't recall ever telling you the location of my temple, did I?"
Hu Le asked curiously.
Yuan Rong smiled and said, "My daughter was able to find this place entirely thanks to my father's abilities..."
Then she began to talk about her father's identity.
It turns out that her father was called the Five Elements Phoenix Ancestor, a rare Primordial Saint in this world, possessing the bloodline of the Primordial Phoenix.
As for what the Heavenly Phoenix is...
This is an existence in this universe comparable to Pangu.
It turns out that the creation of this Xuan Yuan universe is extremely mysterious.
In the past, this place was a primordial chaos.
Later, by the workings of nature, a true dragon and a phoenix were born from the chaos.
After the dragon and phoenix were born, they began to mate. After thousands of years, the universe was born from the place where the two mate.
Millions of years later, the Xuan Yuan Universe was completed. The True Dragon and Phoenix had lost all their vital energy and perished in this universe. Their physical bodies and primordial spirits were transformed into the sun, moon, stars, and all the myriad worlds.
And these dragons and phoenixes are none other than Pangu, who created the world.
The two were respectively honored by the beings of this universe as the Creation Dragon and the Creation Phoenix.
When they perished, some of their direct descendants survived.
Princess Yuanrong's father, the Five Elements Phoenix Ancestor, was one of the direct descendants of the Primordial True Phoenix, and his status was comparable to that of the Three Pure Ones of Pangu in the primordial world.
He also relied on the immense fortune and merit left behind by the Primordial Phoenix to become a Primordial Saint.
Of course, he also had an adversary, known as the Yin-Yang Dragon Ancestor.
This Dragon Ancestor attained enlightenment through the bloodline of the Primordial Dragon, and was also a Primordial Saint.
The two, one a dragon and the other a phoenix, both achieved enlightenment through the bloodline of creation.
The Xuan Yuan Universe was born from the union of the two, but their direct descendants are natural enemies.
It's not that there's any grudge between them, but rather that this is how things are created by the laws of nature.
Under the Mandate of Heaven, whether it is the Yin-Yang Dragon Ancestor or the Five Elements Phoenix Ancestor, as long as they devour each other's origin and obtain the primordial spirit imprint passed down from the Heavenly Dragon and Phoenix, they can achieve a Primordial Dao Fruit in one fell swoop and attain the Creation Realm.
Therefore, the two sages have been openly and covertly vying for this all along.
However, since their cultivation levels were similar, although they had both wins and losses during their battles, they were never able to completely subdue each other and devour each other's origin and primordial spirit imprint.
As descendants of the dragon and phoenix who created the heavens, the two sages also had children.
Princess Yuanrong is one of the offspring of the Five Elements Phoenix Ancestor. Although she is a woman, her bloodline is extremely pure, and she has inherited a piece of the Primordial Spirit Imprint of the Primordial Phoenix.
The Yin-Yang Dragon Ancestor also had offspring, one of whom was a prince named Zhen Chong, who also inherited the True Dragon Mark.
According to Princess Yuanrong's own speculation, the attack she encountered earlier was sent by Zhensui.
After all, if one could devour Princess Yuanrong's bloodline essence and the primordial spirit imprint originating from the Primordial Phoenix, the chances of becoming a true demon in the future would be much greater...
After hearing Yuan Rong's introduction, Hu Le nodded silently.
"You've come here just to thank me?" Hu Le asked.
Princess Yuanrong shook her head and said, "That's not the case. Besides expressing my gratitude, I've also come on my father's orders to present you with a letter."
As she spoke, she took out a gleaming gold letter from her sleeve.
The boy who had been standing beside Hu Le hurriedly got up, descended the jade steps, and came to Princess Yuan Rong's side. After receiving the letter, he returned to Hu Le and presented it with both hands.
Hu Le took the letter, opened it, and read it.
The letter was very simple. Besides thanking Hu Le for saving his daughter, it also extended an invitation to him to visit his family's temple soon, saying that he had something to discuss with him...
After reading it, Hu Le felt a sense of doubt, wondering what the Five Elements Phoenix Ancestor wanted to see him about...
