Controlling the Five Thunders and the Two Worlds

Chapter 221 The Skills of Several Old Taoist Priests
Gu Zhao finally got busy, because the Daluo Palace had also established a Daluo Temple in the city of Baishi Prefecture, with Daoist Yanling serving as the abbot.

Gu Zhao personally took action, burying seventy-two large sandalwood trees around the Daluo Temple in Baishi Mansion to set up the Five Thunder Dragon Imprisoning Formation. Under the control of Daoist Yanling, even experts like Huangtian Ancestor would likely perish if they came.

When Gu Zhao returned to the Daluo Palace, Yun Yang, along with Daoist Shen Hao and three other senior Daoists, finished their newcomer trials and returned to the Daluo Palace.

As for their gains...

They were four old Taoist priests who had fully adapted to the other world, and a new thunder seed revolving around the Five Thunder Token in Gu Zhao's sea of ​​consciousness.

"The accumulation speed is getting faster and faster. Sooner or later, my recruitment speed will not be able to keep up with the speed at which the lightning seeds are condensed." Gu Zhao couldn't help but sigh.

"How are you feeling?" Gu Zhao asked.

“Excellent!” Master Shenhao replied.

Yun Yang said, "We traveled around several counties, followed the Yongning River for a while, killed a few river monsters that were causing trouble, and even met a great demon in the Yongning River."

"How big is it?" Gu Zhao asked.

“The kind that can fly,” Yun Yang replied.

Gu Zhao raised an eyebrow, realizing what was going on, "He doesn't have any malevolent aura?"

Yun Yang nodded, "He was a Spirit Lord. We were about to kill a fish demon that ate children when he happened to pass by. The fish demon asked him for help, so Daoist Shenhao fought with him."

Gu Zhao turned to Daoist Shenhao and asked with concern, "Daoist, are you alright?"

Master Shenhao raised his white eyebrows and said, “Although that demon has profound magical power, her demonic power is not pure, and her true qi is several levels lower than ours. Even if her cultivation is higher, she cannot harm me.”

Gu Zhao gave a thumbs up, "Master Uncle is awesome!"

Master Shenhao is an old-timer of the Shangqing School. After cultivating his inner energy in his early years, he tried all the classics of the Shangqing School.

In addition to the "Shangqing Dadong Zhenjing" which teaches breathing exercises to refine the spirit and soul, he also practices the "Shangqing Taishang Basu Zhenjing" to sense the stars in the sky, the "Shangqing Taishang Dijun Jiuzhen Zhongjing" to utilize the four seasons, and the "Dongzhen Shangqing Qingyao Zishu Jingen Zhongjing" for internal observation of the spirit and soul.

These scriptures seemed to have little or no effect on Earth.

However, when Daoist Shenhao arrived in this other world, he realized that they were all useful.

Besides cultivation methods, the Shangqing Sect naturally also has its own means of attacking enemies and protecting itself. Master Shenhao cultivates the "Dongzhen Taishang Zidu Yanguang Shenxuan Bianjing" and is most skilled in the "Flowing Gold Fire Bell" technique!
It can be used as magic or as a magical artifact.

It is both a technique for attacking and a method for self-defense.

As the saying goes: "The seven essences of the heavens, the five emperors' flowing bells, shimmering with lightning, like stars streaking across the sky!"
It is also said: Heaven shines with spirit, the seven mornings are mysterious essence, the five pecks of the canopy surround my form!

The Fire Bell Great Incantation is a top-tier incantation in Taoism that is no less powerful than the Heavenly Canopy Incantation, the Five Thunder Incantation, and the Golden Light Incantation!
Master Yuzhang laughed and said, "Senior Brother Shenhao broke through the Spirit Lord's demonic power protection with just one move, the Golden Fire Bell. If Senior Brother hadn't held back and deliberately missed, he probably would have been injured."

Yun Yang nodded, "Then Daoist Yu Zhang made the Ziwei Seal, and Uncle Jing Hong and Uncle Jing Fa also gathered their Daoist energy, and then the Great Demon Spirit Lord was willing to talk to us."

Gu Zhao couldn't help but laugh.

The full name of the classic text that Master Yuzhang practices is "The Supreme Cave Abyss Northern Emperor Tianpeng Protects Life and Eliminates Disasters Divine Incantation and Wonderful Scripture". In addition, there is also "The Supreme Northern Pole Subduing Demon Divine Incantation and Ghost Killing Record".

Simply put, it is the Northern Emperor's Dharma Heavenly Canopy Scripture.

Therefore, the most famous one is the Heavenly Canopy Mantra!
When Master Yuzhang formed the Ziwei Seal, it was just like when Master Jingfeng cast the [Northern Emperor Black Book Great Transformation Divine Spell] to transform into the Northern Yin Fengdu, except that he summoned Marshal Tianpeng.

So don't underestimate Master Yuzhang just because he's a newcomer and his cultivation isn't high. His aura is extraordinary, carrying the might of a celestial being. It's likely that his deterrent effect on that great demon is even stronger than that of Master Shenhao.

In addition, Master Jinghong practices the "Panxi Danfa" and Master Jingfa practices the "Zhong Lü Chuandao Neidan Ji", both of which are top-level Neidan methods of the Quanzhen Longmen School. Their true Qi is refined and their bodies are full of Daoist charm, making it as easy for them to fight against opponents of higher levels as eating and drinking.

The great demon, having cultivated to his current level, was quite knowledgeable and immediately guessed that these people must have powerful backgrounds. In addition, since Daoist Shenhao had shown mercy, they were naturally easy to talk to.

Yun Yang smiled and said, "He also said he would visit the Daluo Palace when he has time."

Gu Zhao nodded, "Since you are a Spirit Lord, then of course you are welcome."

Then the old Taoist priests wanted to go down the mountain again, but Gu Zhao and Yun Yang persuaded them to stay overnight at the Daluo Palace. They also returned to the modern world to call their families and relatives to let them know they were safe, lest they be mistaken for missing persons. The next day, watching the four old Taoist priests excitedly descend the mountain…

Gu Zhao sighed, "There's another new lightning seed! This is so tough!"

Yun Yang shrugged. "Whether it's the Celestial Master's Mansion and Fengdu Temple, or Sanmao Mountain and Feiyun Mountain, several of the old men have fellow disciples and juniors who haven't come. Not to mention that the Longmen Sect has people all over the country."

Gu Zhao nodded, then turned and asked, "Speaking of which, all those who came from the Inner Alchemy lineage are from your Dragon Gate Sect. Are there no others from the Quanzhen Sect?"

Yun Yang was speechless. "Because you only contacted people we know, of course they're all from the Dragon Gate Sect."

From Master Yihong to Yunyang, and then from Yunyang we found Master Jingfa and Master Jinghong, isn't that a line?
Gu Zhao raised an eyebrow, "Does the Quanzhen Sect still have experts?"

"Of course!" Yun Yang nodded. "Not to mention the lineage passed down by the Seven Masters of Quanzhen, even the lineage passed down by their disciples has masters."

"For example?" Gu Zhao asked.

“For example, the Jinshan Sect of Laoshan,” Yun Yang said in a serious tone.

Gu Zhao laughed in anger, "Don't think I don't know that the Jinshan Sect is a branch of the Longmen Sect!"

Yun Yang laughed heartily, dodging Gu Zhao's slapping hand. "Although the Jinshan Sect is only located in Laoshan, it has developed quite well and should have some experts."

"Should?" Gu Zhao asked, puzzled.

“I’ve never been there, so of course I should,” Yun Yang said matter-of-factly.

Gu Zhao pursed his lips, a thought flashed through his mind, and he teased, "No, I've decided to go to Jin Province next time to find the Chunyang Sect and see what their authentic successor to Lu Zu looks like."

Yun Yang couldn't help but widen his eyes, "What I cultivate is the 'Collection of Zhong Lü's Transmission of Inner Alchemy'!"

Gu Zhao said calmly, "You're from the Dragon Gate Sect, don't try to extort money from me."

Yun Yang glared again, "I can manifest the Dharma form of Lu Zu!"

Gu Zhao glanced at Yun Yang and said, "You're just deceiving yourself."

Yun Yang rubbed his hands together, eager to get started. "Go ahead and find him! We'll see who's stronger then!"

The two were joking with each other when they saw Hu Yufei flying over, carrying a small rabbit in her arms. "Yunyang! Sect Leader! One of my friends is injured. Please take a look at her quickly."

When Hu Yufei came closer, Gu Zhao could feel that the rabbit in her arms was weak and lacked any malevolent aura. However, a bloody demonic power was corroding its internal organs.

Without Yun Yang having to make a move, Gu Zhao reached into the gourd at his waist and pulled out a Heavenly Treasure Talisman.

When the precious light appears, evil spirits are driven away.

The bloody demonic power on the little rabbit was swept away, and its aura stabilized. It opened its eyes, turned around, licked Hu Yufei's hand, and then jumped down. With a flash of light, it transformed into a delicate and pretty young girl.

"Thank you so much, Daoist Yunyang! Thank you so much, Palace Master Daluo, for saving my life!" The girl thanked him first, then looked at Hu Yufei with a wronged expression, "Sister Yufei, I thought I would never see you again!"

Hu Yufei breathed a sigh of relief before asking, "Who hurt you?"

“A tiger came to Guangwu County, occupied a mountain, and wanted to marry me. I refused, so he injured me.”

The girl said, then hurriedly reminded me, "Last time you went back to Guangwu County, you told me you were at the Daluo Palace, so I ran this way. That tiger is still chasing me, so you have to be careful!"

"Oh?" Yun Yang's eyes lit up. "Is that tiger still chasing you?"

The girl nodded, and then Yun Yang said to Gu Zhao with great interest, "I'll go get us a tiger-skin chair!"

Gu Zhao nodded, his eyes also shining. "And tiger bone wine! Tiger demon bones are sure to be effective!"
