The Zhou Mountain Heavenly Pillar was formed from the spine of Pangu and originally belonged to Pangu. Now that the Primordial Daoist has taken away the largest fragment, no one else can say anything about it.
Taiqing, Tongtian, and even Hu Le are not lacking in spiritual treasures, and they certainly wouldn't go against Yuanshi Daoren over a mere fragment of the Heavenly Pillar...
Hu Le stood up, stepped forward, bowed to the immortals and gods to bid them farewell, and then slowly flew towards the direction of the Human King Mountain.
In a way, he had already foreseen his own future.
When he returned to Mount Renwang, that was the time when the Human Emperor's Dao Fruit was perfected and he was about to attempt to break through to the Primordial Dao Fruit.
Therefore, along the way, he deliberately slowed down his flight speed, slowly restored his magical power and divine sense, and gradually regulated his mind, hoping that when he arrived at the Human King Mountain, he could adjust himself to a state of perfection.
He lowered the auspicious cloud and slowly flew over the vast land, soon leaving the Zhou Mountain range.
Because the waters of the Milky Way poured into the primordial wilderness, the land had been transformed into a vast, turbulent swamp, with the waters churning and roaring as they surged toward the southeast.
The vast and expansive land, including mountains, rivers, and vegetation, was completely submerged by the floodwaters; as far as the eye could see, all that remained was a shimmering expanse of water…
He flew forward for a while, and the current slowed down, and he finally saw some living creatures.
As he flew over a great mountain, he saw that the lower half of the mountain was submerged in a vast ocean, while the mountaintop was teeming with people.
It is clear that these humans fled to the mountains for refuge after the great flood.
He glanced at the mountain and found that it was home to nearly tens of thousands of people, mostly the elderly, women and children. Although the mountaintop was covered with lush trees, there was not much food.
These humans had escaped the initial calamity, but now trapped on the mountain without a food source, how long could they survive?
As the emperor, it would have been one thing if he hadn't discovered this matter, but now that he had, he certainly couldn't just sit idly by.
He descended from the auspicious clouds and landed on the mountaintop, where a group of clan elders rushed to pay their respects.
Hu Le's statues are found all over the human world. Since he was not hiding his identity, they saw Hu Le's face when they paid their respects and couldn't help but boldly try to ask about Hu Le's identity.
Hu Le wasn't there to steal, so he felt there was no need to hide anything and told everyone his identity.
Upon seeing the arrival of the Human Emperor, the elders rushed forward, prostrated themselves, and wept bitterly, begging him to save them from their suffering.
Hu Le did some calculations and told them that the floodwaters at the foot of the mountain would not recede for another year.
Upon hearing this, the elders burst into tears, their voices filled with despair.
Stranded on the mountain with no food source, how could they possibly survive a year?
Upon seeing this, Hu Le pondered for a while, then summoned a group of six Ding and six Jia, bestowed upon them a talisman, and ordered them to go to the Heavenly Court to meet his incarnation.
After receiving the order, the six Ding and six Jia flew straight up to the ninth heaven.
At this time, the pillar of heaven collapsed, separating heaven and man. There was no way to ascend to heaven. If one wanted to fly to the heavens and reach the Heavenly Court, one would need to have a certain level of cultivation.
Those like the Six Ding and Six Jia are merely minor deities in the Heavenly Court, naturally lacking much cultivation. Without Hu Le's talisman, they wouldn't be able to fly to the Heavenly Court...
Several days later, Liu Ding and Liu Jia finally returned. After seeing Hu Le, they kowtowed and bowed, then presented him with a yellow gourd.
He lifted the lid, and a wisp of spiritual energy rose from the gourd, shooting straight up three thousand feet into the sky like wisps of green smoke before dissipating with the wind.
The gourd contains some innate spiritual seeds.
He poured the gourd into his palm, and a seed the size of a grain of rice rolled out of the gourd and landed in his hand.
Hu Le took the spirit seed to a spirit cave on the mountain, pointed downwards, and a small pit immediately appeared on the ground.
Hu Le threw the spirit seed into the pit, covered it with soil, and then cast a spell to bring down a stream of sweet rain.
In a short while, the seeds in the soil quickly took root and sprouted, then broke through the soil and grew wildly. In just ten breaths, the originally slender stem sprouted branches and grew into a big tree that could be embraced.
The tree branches and leaves were lush and green, surrounded by shimmering lights.
Fist-sized spiritual fruits hung down from the tree.
These fruits are bright red all over, plump and juicy, and exude a delicate fruity fragrance that is incredibly tempting.
"Your Majesty, what is this...?"
An elder looked at the spirit fruit, his eyes shining, and he was practically drooling.
"You may all come forward and pick some to taste."
Hu Le said with a smile.
The elders rushed forward, came to the tree, and each picked a fruit.
Strangely enough, as soon as the fruit on the branch fell, a flower bud suddenly swelled up in the original spot, bloomed, and then the flower fell off the branch, and a completely identical fruit grew back.
"this……"
Upon seeing this, everyone exclaimed in their hearts, "Wonderful!"
It's as if the number of fruits on this tree is eternally constant; no matter how many you pluck, new fruits will instantly reappear and cover the branches...
The elders praised the fruit, and then became even more curious about its taste. Holding the fruit, smelling its aroma, they felt their mouths water and, without even washing it, eagerly popped it into their mouths to eat.
They quickly devoured a fruit, feeling incredibly comfortable and full, as if they wouldn't need to eat anything for the next three days and wouldn't feel hungry again.
In an instant, a warm current rose from their bodies and surged throughout their entire bodies. They felt as light as swallows and full of power, as if they could kill a tiger with a single punch.
Some of the clan elders, whose hair had been gray, saw their hair turn black again; their old teeth fell out and new teeth grew back; the wrinkles on their faces disappeared; and their skin became firm, rosy, and delicate...
For a moment, they seemed to be rejuvenated, returning to their youth.
Several elders, who were suffering from serious illnesses, felt their ailments disappear and their vitality return after consuming the fruit...
"Huh?"
One of the clan elders, after experiencing the benefits of the spiritual fruit, soon discovered that His Majesty the Human Emperor had disappeared without a trace.
Upon seeing this, the elders knew that the Human Emperor had left directly after bestowing this great fortune.
They hurriedly kowtowed in the spot where Hu Le had stood, thanking His Majesty the Emperor for bestowing blessings upon them...
Next, the elders ordered people to come and pick the spiritual fruits and distribute them to everyone to eat.
Just as everyone finished picking the more than one hundred fruits from the tree, the tree blossomed and bore fruit again in the blink of an eye, and in the blink of an eye, the branches were once again covered with bright red spiritual fruits.
This cycle continues endlessly, and the spiritual fruits are picked without ceasing...
In this way, a single fruit tree sustained tens of thousands of people on the mountain for a year.
Not only did none of them starve to death, but not a single one fell ill; they all waited peacefully until the floodwaters receded.
The people were grateful for the Emperor's good fortune, and because they did not know the name of the fruit, they spontaneously called it the Emperor's Fruit.
However, after humans descended the mountain and resumed their lives of farming and hunting, the Emperor's Fruit Tree on the mountain suddenly lost all its branches and leaves one day, its trunk turned yellow, and it eventually became a dead tree...
