Controlling the Five Thunders and the Two Worlds

Chapter 273 A Day Trip to the Daluo Palace Full of Anticipation
Liu Jin was from Qinglu County, Changping Prefecture.

My father was well-read and my mother was virtuous and reasonable, but unfortunately, I was a disappointment. Although I was handsome, I was frivolous and lustful. I spent my days idly, was uneducated, and hung out with a bunch of bad friends, never making a living.

His parents finally arranged a marriage for him, but he not only continued to frequent brothels, but also beat up his prospective father-in-law in the street, so the marriage naturally fell through.

His father died of anger, his mother died of depression, Liu Jin squandered all the family property, could not make a living in the county, and was eventually kicked out of the house like a stray dog.

However, he was born with a handsome appearance and a sweet tongue, which caught the eye of a martial arts master who took him in and taught him martial arts skills.

As a result, after Liu Jin completed his training, he felt that his master was too strict with him. Taking advantage of his master's serious injury when he was attacked by an enemy, he turned around and killed his master, and then raped his master's daughter.

Then, he returned to Qinglu County, and relying on his martial arts skills, he killed his betrothed's entire family before leaving satisfied, becoming a free-spirited womanizer.

He thought he would live his life happily like this, but the day before yesterday, while picking flowers, he was frozen in place by a ghostly figure that emerged from the woman's mirror.

Liu Jin was terrified. He thought the woman was a sorcerer and that he had kicked a hornet's nest. But to his surprise, the ghostly figure in the mirror helped him force himself on the woman and even formed a bond with him, wanting to help him become a sorcerer.

How could Liu Jin refuse such a good deal?
Thus, he became the master of the Forgotten Soul Palace and his contracted master. A wonderful life in the future was truly just around the corner!

Although Liu Jin learned that the Forgotten Soul Palace had been destroyed by the Netherfire Sect in Shide Prefecture and that its disciples had been massacred by the Great Luo Palace in Changping Prefecture, neither he nor the Palace Master of the Forgotten Soul Palace took it to heart.

Now that they have formed a bond, whether it's the Lord of the Forgotten Soul Palace recovering from his injuries or the two of them continuing their cultivation, their progress will be rapid, advancing by leaps and bounds.

Once you get through this trough, all that follows will be peaks!

To get through this low period, they naturally need to find a completely safe place to hide until the Lord of the Forgotten Soul Palace recovers his strength before they can emerge from the mountain again.

In Changping Prefecture, what place could be safer than the Daluo Palace?
Thus, under the arrangement of the Lord of the Forgotten Soul Palace, Liu Jingcai coincidentally met an inner disciple of the Great Luo Palace, and by chance helped him with a small favor. In the end, he became the disciple of the Lord and was led into the Great Luo Palace.

"Once I recover my cultivation, I can use the Soul Forgetting Technique to make everyone in the Great Luo Palace acknowledge you as their master."

"And what about the real Grand Luo Palace Master?" Liu Jin asked.

The aged voice chuckled, "That's because we devoured his soul and spirit, absorbing his memories, abilities, and women."

Speaking of women, Liu Jin had just been assigned a dormitory when he saw a young girl in a white gauze dress walking towards a certain place in the western rear hall. She had a beautiful face and a gentle expression.

"That's Senior Sister He from the Alchemy Hall, a friend of Protector Hu, the Sun Rabbit Star Official, and the direct disciple of Elder Ming Chong. She's a star among the inner disciples, a prodigy who's always surrounded by admirers." A middle-aged man patted Liu Jin on the shoulder.

Liu Jin nodded, "I know, I know. Senior Sister He is not someone that we outer disciples can covet."

The middle-aged man waved his hand, his hands calloused and thick, clearly a master of palm techniques. “You’ve misunderstood. The atmosphere in our Great Luo Palace is very good. Although there are differences in status, no one will ever bully others by relying on their status.”

I'm just reminding you, Senior Sister He is a Spirit Lord, a celestial being. Don't let yourself fall into her trap; in the end, you'll only hurt yourself.

Liu Jin nodded. "Thank you for the reminder, senior brother. I, Liu Jin, used to have a name in the martial arts world called Flying Swallow Stepping on Clouds."

"It seems you have excellent lightness skills!" The middle-aged man's eyes lit up as he introduced himself, "My name is Qiao Hu, and I practice Iron Palm Kung Fu, but lightness skills are not my forte. In the future, when we go down the mountain to fight for justice, we can team up."

Liu Jin cupped his hands and said, "Then I'll have to rely on Senior Brother Qiao for help from now on."

"You're too kind," Qiao Hu laughed. "Let's help each other and contribute more to the palace. If we can exchange our points for some spiritual herbs and cultivate true qi, we can become inner disciples in the future!"

While giving Qiao Hu a perfunctory answer, Liu Jin asked again, "I just saw that rainbow light take someone else in. Do you know them?"

Qiao Hu shook his head, "That rainbow light clearly connects to the location of the sect leader. That person also came from the sky and must be a friend of the sect leader, a senior with profound cultivation. I have never seen him before."

Let alone Qiao Hu, most of the disciples of the Daluo Palace probably have never even seen Li Qingshuang.

Just then, Liu Jin saw two girls walking by together. However, unlike many people who greeted He Cailian, everyone bowed respectfully to these two girls without being overly enthusiastic. Liu Jin looked at Qiao Hu, who explained, "The one in the green dress is the palace star official, Protector Bi. Next to her is Senior Sister Chen, who is her confidante. These two are rather reserved, so no one bothers them."

"Speaking of which, Senior Sister Chen is really lucky. A few months ago, she was just an ordinary person and was almost kidnapped by a ghost to be his wife. However, she was rescued by two elders in the palace and sent back to the Daluo Palace to become a disciple."

A few days later, Protector Bi discovered that their souls were in harmony, and they merged into one. Thus, Senior Sister Chen rose to prominence and is now a Dharma Master.

Qiao Hu's tone was full of envy, "I don't even ask to be chosen by the protector. It would be great if any senior brothers or sisters from the inner sect took a liking to me!"

The inner disciples of the Great Luo Palace are not all human; some are spirit lords and ghosts, and naturally, they can also form bonds with humans.

"Come on, I'll show you around the Daluo Palace." Qiao Hu said, pulling Liu Jin along. "Besides the main courtyard, the Daluo Palace also has many side courtyards, but those are the residences of the elders, and we shouldn't disturb them."

I'll take you to see the Alchemy Hall, the Contribution Hall, the Magic Item Hall, and so on. Then I'll get you a longsword. And when you officially become an outer disciple, you can also get a Golden Qi Bracelet.

"Thank you, Senior Brother!" Liu Jin readily agreed and followed Qiao Hu around the Daluo Palace for most of the day. What he saw and heard was truly eye-opening. Even the Lord of the Forgotten Soul Palace, who was hidden in his body, was amazed and became even more eager to see what was to come.

The only regret was that he didn't see any more pretty girls, nor did he see any of the elders or the sect leader of the Great Luo Palace.

Qiao Hu comforted him, "Most of the elders are not on the mountain, and the sect leader rarely goes out. Not to mention you, many outer disciples who entered the sect earlier than you have never even seen the sect leader."

After wandering around for most of the day, Qiao Hu took him to pay his respects to the inner disciple again, then took him to dinner before returning to the dormitory as the sun was setting.

“Our dormitory isn’t big, but it’s one person per room. I live next door to you, so call me anytime if you need anything,” Qiao Hu said warmly.

"Alright, thank you, senior brother!" Liu Jin cupped his hands in greeting, finally sending Qiao Hu away before returning to his room.

"The Great Luo Palace treats its disciples quite well. Newly initiated disciples all have their own rooms," Liu Jin chuckled.

"It's convenient for us, though. Even when I cultivate in seclusion, there will still be a faint trace of my magical power emanating from my surroundings," the aged voice chuckled. "But one room per person is no problem."

Liu Jin peeked out the window and saw that there were very few people left; many had gone back to their rooms to cultivate.

"We're not in a hurry, we'll talk about it tonight," the aged voice said.

So Liu Jin lay back on the bed, dreaming of his bright future, "When I become the Grand Luo Palace Master, I want Senior Sister He, and that Protector Bi and Senior Sister Chen too!"

"Whatever you say!" The Lord of the Forgotten Soul Palace was interested in the cultivation method of the Great Luo Palace. "The magical power cultivated by this method is naturally able to overcome evil. Once I have mastered it, I will definitely be able to advance further."

The two chatted casually, and soon the moon was high in the sky.

Liu Jin rolled over and sat cross-legged on the bed, making a strange gesture with his hands. Then, a wisp of black energy appeared between his eyebrows and spread around his body.

"Start fixing..."

Before he could finish speaking, a surge of energy containing the light of the sun, moon, and heaven suddenly erupted from the pillars around the room and rushed towards him, who was in the middle of the room.

"Pfft!" Before Liu Jin could react, he was hit by this burst of energy and spat out a mouthful of blood.

The next moment, a dark shadow emerged from the top of his head, solidifying into a physical form; it was none other than the Lord of the Forgotten Soul Palace.

The Lord of the Forgotten Souls Palace immediately protected Liu Jin's life and blocked the remaining qi. Just as he was about to escape, he noticed a faint light enveloping the room he was in. Surprisingly, he didn't rush out immediately.

At the same time, four invisible iron chains suddenly appeared around him, wrapped around his body, entered his body, and swept towards his dantian consciousness.

This caused the Lord of the Forgotten Souls Palace to exclaim in surprise, "What is this thing?"
