Controlling the Five Thunders and the Two Worlds

Chapter 323 The Most Beautiful Woman in Jiangzhou, the Master of Bailing Mountain
Black Rock Mountain is no longer the dark and barren mountain it was three months ago.

Although it was just past winter, the Taiyi Divine Fire and the Nanming Li Fire, both Taoist flames, were still alive because Daoist Yansong and Daoist Shenhao had been clearing away demonic energy at the foot of the mountain.

Therefore, fire generates earth, nourishing the land at the foot of Black Rock Mountain, causing plants to begin growing on the mountain. In just three months, even though it was freezing cold, the entire mountain was covered in green, and then with the addition of snow, the scenery blended together, creating a beautiful landscape.

The Da Luo Temple on Heiyan Mountain is located at the foot of Heiyan Mountain. Naturally, it is not as grand as the Da Luo Palace on Cuiluo Mountain, but it has three courtyards and all the necessary halls, including the Lingguan Hall, the Siyu Hall, the Yuhuang Hall, and the Sanqing Hall. The side halls also have the God of Wealth, Wenchang, Yue Lao, the Medicine King, the Savior from Suffering, and the Thunder God. All the gods that should be there are present, ensuring that the people's requests can be fulfilled.

At this time of the New Year's Grand Ritual, although there were no incense fire stars at the branch temple, Daoist Yanling offered up the Seven-Colored Jade Ruyi. The jade ruyi disappeared into the clouds and emitted seven-colored light, illuminating the sky above the Daluo Temple with seven-colored light, which was still like a miracle.

Yun Yang and Bi Yingying stood at the entrance to greet the guests, displaying their full magical power. While being gentle, they also demonstrated the strength of the Great Luo Palace.

"please!"

Yun Yang and Bi Yingying turned sideways and gestured, and the main gate of the Da Luo Temple on Black Rock Mountain opened wide.

"Squeak-"

As the gate opened automatically, everyone saw the statue of a deity sitting at the entrance to the mountain: a red-faced man with a beard, wearing golden armor, holding a steel whip, and glaring with three angry eyes.

"I heard that this is the guardian deity of the mountain enshrined in the Daluo Palace: Wang Lingguan."

"His name is ordinary, but his awe-inspiring presence is imposing."

“I have visited the branch temples of Daluo Palace in various places. They do not worship their own ancestor, but various deities. I don’t know if they are made up or if they have a real origin.”

"Whether it's true or not, the Netherfire Cult has been wiped out by them."

"That's right, whether it's true or false, it makes no difference to us."

As the gates opened, the guests entered in turn. Those with invitations presented them, while those without gave their names. Some, perhaps hesitant or unwilling, simply bowed respectfully and were politely ushered in by the disciples of the Daluo Temple.

Yunyang and Biyingying called out names in turn to show respect.

"The Venerable Wutou of Jingxin Lake in Shide Prefecture has arrived!"

"Mr. Yun Guyin of the He Yan family has arrived!"

"The Jade Palace Master of the Jade Pool in the White Stone Mansion has arrived!"

"Mr. Lu from Yongding River has arrived!"

"Lord Ziyun of Wuya Ridge has arrived!"

"Leader Lingke of the Flying God Sect of Yunqi Prefecture has arrived!"

"Yunxia Ji from Caixia Mountain in Yunqi Prefecture has arrived!"

……

It has to be said that the Daluo Palace is getting better and better. On the first day of the new year, the grand New Year ceremony was held, and leaders from all sides came to attend.

Some of the invitations were sent by Gu Zhao, but others came because of his reputation.

Just then, Yun Yang looked up at the sky and saw two streaks of light flying over from the horizon, one white and one blue. They landed not far away, not far from the outside of the Daluo Temple, and then slowly walked over.

Yun Yang and Bi Yingying each raised an eyebrow. They recognized the figure in green as their palace master's confidante, Li Qingshuang!
The other one is easy to guess.

The woman standing in front of Li Qingshuang wore a cloud-patterned, snow-white gauze dress. Although she was walking slowly, it was as if a gentle breeze was surrounding her, and her clothes were fluttering in the wind.

Her black hair cascaded down like a waterfall, lightly tied with a jade hairpin; her skin was as white as jade, adorned with a solitary moon-white spirit jade. Her eyebrows resembled distant mountains, her eyes like morning stars; her gaze, as it moved, carried both a light and lively quality and a gentle yet dignified air.

With such a captivating gaze and refined demeanor, her celestial beauty seemed less striking.

This woman walked with ease, making not only Li Qingshuang appear slightly less radiant beside her, but also Bi Yingying, who was greeting guests, feel the pressure.

But after taking only two steps, her eyes involuntarily shifted, turning to the two groups of people in Black Rock Town.

"True Lord Tianchen, Ancestor of Extinction Yang".

"So it's Lord Bai Shan." True Monarch Tianchen's eyes flashed as he chuckled. "Lord Bai Shan has always cultivated in Jiangbei. It's quite rare that he's come south to Wanling River today."

This person is naturally the mountain lord of Bailing Mountain in the north of Wanling River.

Lord Bai Ling smiled gently and nodded slightly, "The Palace Master of Da Luo Palace saved my sister, so I have come to pay my respects and express my gratitude."

Both True Monarch Tianchen and Ancestor Mieyang focused their gazes on Li Qingshuang. Li Qingshuang's sharp eyes did not diminish, but she respectfully bowed and said, "Greetings, True Monarch Tianchen, greetings, Ancestor Mieyang."

Ancestor Mieyang raised his hand in a gesture of respect, "It's alright, please rise."

Li Qingshuang felt a force supporting her elbow, ignoring her magical power, and gently lifting her up as if it were nothing.

True Lord Tianchen pointed to the Daluo Temple and said, "Almost everyone has gone in. Let's go in too. It would be impolite to miss the New Year's ritual at the Daluo Temple."

"What the True Lord says is true." A smile flashed in the corner of Bai Ling Mountain Master's eyes. He turned slightly to the side, pulled Li Qing Shuang, and walked towards Da Luo Temple first.

Upon arriving at the entrance of Da Luo Guan Mountain, Li Qingshuang handed over the invitation. Yun Yang smiled and reached out to accept it. His clear voice resounded throughout Da Luo Guan Mountain, echoing in the ears of all cultivators, "Master Bai of Bai Ling Mountain in Jiangyang Prefecture has arrived!"

Then Bi Yingying accepted the invitation from Wanping of Jishen Mountain, "Master Mieyang of Jishen Mountain in Xianshan Prefecture has arrived!"

After leading Bai Lingshan Master and Li Qingshuang into the mountain gate, Yun Yang took a deep breath and announced the last visitor, "True Lord Tianchen from Chaoyang Island, Duchuan Prefecture, has arrived!"

Bai Ling Mountain! Ji Shen Mountain! Chao Yang Island!
The shadow of the tree cast by the name of the person caused all the demons, ghosts, and sorcerers, whether walking on the road or entering the Taoist temple, to turn around and look at the three people who were slowly approaching with both respect and fear.

"The Great Luo Palace has such great influence that they even invited these three families!"

"Chaoyang Island and Jishen Mountain are fine, but Bailing Mountain is in Jiangbei, why is it getting involved?"

"I think it's normal for Bai Lingshan to come. Given the way Daluo Palace does things, it would be abnormal for Jishenshan to come."

"Shut up! These three companies are not for you to make up stories about."

Although some people used their magical powers to transmit their voices, most people remained silent in awe and quietly made way for them.

Bai Lingshan Master, Ancestor Mieyang, and True Lord Tianchen were not polite. The three of them walked slowly, passing the guests who had entered in front of them, and arrived at the Lingguan Hall.

Even though the three entered last, they were still given priority at the front of the room when attending the ceremony.

Then they saw three old men standing in front of the immortal Wang Lingguan, wearing lotus crowns, fiery cloud robes, gold and silver threads, embroidered with white crane and cloud patterns, holding jade tablets, their expressions solemn.

Xu Yan's eyes twitched again, because apart from the one standing in the middle who had appeared in the battle at Black Rock Mountain, he had never seen the other three old men before.

Standing inside the Lingguan Hall, the three old Taoist priests who presided over the first step of the ritual were Master Qingyuan, Master Jinghong, and Master Jingfa.

Seeing that all the guests had arrived and the time had come, they all turned around and stepped forward to pay their respects.

The second New Year's Ritual of the Great Luo Palace in this world begins!
