Xu Le said nonchalantly that there was no conspiracy involved, he just found it interesting.
He found it interesting, so he did it; it was that simple. His long life and immense power allowed him to do as he pleased.
Ordinary people's thinking is trapped by so-called moral concepts, but his is not!
Bai Yue smiled slightly, her red cloak billowing in the wind, and she tossed a ball of light to Xu Le.
"Oh, this is good stuff!"
Although Xu Le admired Bai Yue, he didn't trust him too much. He threw the ball of light into his inner world, and soon it was analyzed by the Heavenly Dao consciousness and entered into his mind. It turned out to be Bai Yue's cultivation experience and the summoning method of the five demonic beasts.
After accepting the reward, Xu Le leaped off the cliff, his body plummeting vertically and faster and faster. Before long, he saw the jagged rocks at the bottom of the cliff. If an ordinary person had fallen, they would have been impaled by the sharp rocks.
Whoosh!
The violent wind and waves swept across his cheeks, and just as Xu Le's body was about to fall onto the rocks, his figure flashed and disappeared.
……
By the lake where the water monster was sealed, Zhao Ling'er strolled alone, looking at the shimmering lake surface. Fish were playing in the clear water. If Xu Le hadn't reminded her, Zhao Ling'er would never have imagined that a terrifying monster was sealed in the lake!
Based on the information provided by the Moon Worshipers, Zhao Ling'er quickly found a temple with a plaque bearing the words "Nuwa" written in Miao script.
However, the temple was already dilapidated, and the threshold for entering and exiting was broken in half. If you look closely, you can see that ants and insects live inside!
Zhao Ling'er stepped over the threshold and entered the temple. Behind the curtain, she saw a female statue with a human head and a snake's body. Her beautiful face showed a compassionate heart for all living beings.
As Zhao Ling'er saw the statue, a flood of childhood memories rushed to her. Her past experiences played back in her mind like a revolving lantern. Her eyes reddened, and after swirling for a while, glistening tears finally overflowed, streaming down her cheeks and dripping onto the ground.
bite!
After the crisp water droplets burst open, it was as if some mechanism had been activated, and a seven-colored divine light shone from the ground, instantly spreading throughout the entire temple.
Amidst the seven-colored divine light, Zhao Ling'er's blood began to surge, her lower body underwent changes, her snake tail extended, and her eyes saw through the light, revealing a stunningly beautiful woman who resembled her by eight-tenths. Unlike Zhao Ling'er, who was still youthful, this woman possessed a mature charm and was even more alluring.
"Mother!"
Zhao Ling'er couldn't believe her eyes. Overwhelmed with emotion, her voice trembled as she asked, "Am I dreaming?"
Lin Qing'er shook her head, her red lips slightly parted: "Ling'er, you are not dreaming. I am indeed dead. This is just a wisp of my remaining divine will!"
"The remaining..."
Unable to control her emotions, Zhao Ling'er rushed forward and hugged Lin Qing'er, tears streaming down her face as she cried out in anguish, like a child longing for her mother.
Lin Qing'er gently stroked Zhao Ling'er's back, her loving eyes suddenly filled with seven-colored divine light, becoming high above, as proud as a god!
The seven-colored divine light came quickly and went quickly, disappearing in an instant, and then it transformed back into the identity of a loving mother...

Chapter 268: The Transaction
Xu Le flew low to the lakeside but did not find Zhao Ling'er. He frowned and ordered hundreds of shadow warriors to search in all directions.
Xu Le gently landed on the lake surface without using his flying ability. A wisp of true energy covered the sole of his shoe, creating a ripple upon contact with the lake surface before he came to a steady stop.
Following the guidance of the breath, Xu Le arrived at the center of this lake, which was as calm and beautiful as a mirror. Through the water, he saw the stone statue covered with moss at the bottom of the lake.
"open!"
Xu Le spread his arms, and the water beneath his feet was drawn to move outwards from the crack beneath his feet.
Just like Moses, who parted the Red Sea and led the Egyptians to safety, Xu Le's current strength might not be enough to split the Red Sea even if he used all his strength. However, compared to the strength of the two, one comes from others, while the other's great power comes from himself.
The waves were pushed aside to both sides, and under Xu Le's control, waves of water tens of feet high accumulated on both sides, while a road appeared in the middle. The silt and aquatic plants at the bottom of the river could be clearly seen. Hundreds of fish and shrimp tumbled on the silt road, opening and closing their gills in confusion.
A nearly hundred-foot-tall, moss-covered, grotesque statue appeared, half of its body already sunk into the mud. Numerous screws clung to it, and countless aquatic plants grew all over the statue, giving it a touch of green.
Xu Le flew straight to its head, and an invisible mental force transformed into a thin rope that wrapped around it.
The enormous stone statue was slowly lifted up, and a large number of parasitic organisms fell off along with the silt, and it was slowly carried to the lakeside.
Boom!
The stone statue fell to the ground, sinking into a pit. Under the sunlight, its appearance gradually became clear: a ferocious eight-headed serpent glared at the sky, seemingly with endless anger to vent.
The Water Demon Beast, one of the five ancient spirit beasts sealed by Nuwa, possesses the characteristic of being immortal and indestructible. It can be reborn when it encounters water and is virtually impossible to destroy in water.
After Xu Le summoned water to clean the stone statue, he placed his palm on it. The power of the Heavenly Dao consciousness extended from his arm and spread towards the water demon beast. In a short while, a large net covered the surface of the water demon beast, and its powerful analytical capabilities began to record every bit of its data.
Although the Water Demon Beast was petrified and turned into a statue, its immortality remained. Deep within its stone body, life still lingered, and it continued to struggle.
Thinking of this, Xu Le conjured a waterspout and poured it onto the water monster statue. The life force fluctuated wildly, but after the water evaporated into vapor and dissipated, the life force became weak again.
"What are you doing, my husband?"
As Xu Le was focused on recording data, Zhao Ling'er's voice rang out behind him. Xu Le was not surprised; instead, he frowned slightly.
Although he was recording data, he also released his divine sense to cover the surroundings in case of sudden danger, but Zhao Ling'er was able to bypass the defense and get behind him...
Xu Le turned around and saw Zhao Ling'er in a black dress, her face still showing a hint of sorrow. When she saw Xu Le's movement, she stepped forward gracefully.
Whoosh whoosh!
Several streams of water surged back from the lake, transforming into water swords that pierced through Zhao Ling'er's side, stopping her in her path.
