Controlling the Five Thunders and the Two Worlds

Chapter 325 Mutual Probing, First Hearing of the Spirit Realm

A powerful and unfathomable master of the Great Luo Palace.

Twelve powerful sect leaders.

The presence of the Daluo Palace astonished all the demons and monsters who came to witness the ceremony. With the addition of the Lord of Bailing Mountain, True Lord Tianchen, and Ancestor Mieyang, everyone knew that the Daluo Palace had firmly established itself in Yongzhou.

After the ritual concluded successfully, the Daluo Palace invited all the guests to a banquet in the backyard, while Gu Zhao invited guests from Chaoyang Island, Bailing Mountain, and Jishen Mountain to a private room.

Just then, True Lord Tianchen and Lord Bailing Mountain both had questions for Gu Zhao. Even Ancestor Mieyang, who had originally planned to just take a look and leave, decided to stay and followed the others to the private room in the backyard.

"Please!" Gu Zhao gestured and then sat down in the main seat.

The first person on the left is accompanied by Daoist Yansong, Daoist Yihong, and Daoist Mingyu, while the person below them is the Lord of Bailing Mountain and Li Qingshuang.

Please take your seat, True Lord Tianchen, at the head of the table on the right. Ancestor Mieyang sits below True Lord Tianchen. Xu Yan, Wan Ping, and the others sit behind True Lord Tianchen and Ancestor Mieyang.

Tianchen Zhenjun looked at the small table in front of him, with a pair of sandalwood chopsticks, a blue and white porcelain plate, and a white jade porcelain bottle on the left, emitting a strong aroma of wine. In front of him were four plates of cold dishes, two meat and two vegetable, one plate of green vegetables, one plate of bright red vegetables, one plate of red oil meat, and one plate of sliced ​​chicken.

Disciples of the Great Luo Palace served him, stepping forward to pour wine for True Lord Tianchen, and then standing respectfully to the side.

Tianchen Zhenjun looked into the cup and saw that the wine was clear and sweet, with a trace of spiritual energy. His eyes flashed and his index finger twitched slightly, but he did not make a move.

Then he heard Xu Yan swallow hard behind him.

The next moment, Gu Zhao raised his glass, "It is a great honor for the Great Luo Palace to have the three of you here. Please!"

True Monarch Tianchen, Ancestor Mieyang, and Lord Bailing Mountain all raised their cups, saying, "Please!"

True Monarch Tianchen drank a full cup. The spiritual energy inside seemed to be from a thousand-year-old ginseng, but he didn't care. On the contrary, he found the wine to be mellow, sweet and refreshing on the palate, with a lingering and mellow aftertaste, and its potency far exceeded that of ordinary wines.

"Good wine." Xu Yan behind him couldn't help but smack his lips, savoring the taste as he asked, "What kind of wine is this?"

Master Mingyu smiled and said, "This wine is called Wuliangye. It is made from five kinds of grains and fermented through thirty-six processes. The oldest cellar is hundreds of years old, so it has a unique flavor and a long aftertaste."

"I see, thank you for clearing up my doubts." Xu Yan nodded repeatedly, and before the disciples of the Great Luo Palace could even lift a finger, he poured himself another cup.

Tianchen Zhenjun, "..."

Qiao Qian'er doesn't drink alcohol, but she picked up her chopsticks, took a piece of red fruit and vegetable, and put it in her mouth. She tasted sweet and sour, and not understanding, she asked, "What is this?"

Master Yihong explained, “This is a cold tomato salad, sweet and sour. The plate next to it is a cold cucumber salad, salty and spicy. The plate of red oil mutton is also salty and spicy. The last plate of roast chicken is five-spice flavored.”

Tianchen Zhenjun's lips twitched, and then Daoist Yansong replied with a smile, "Some of the spices and fruits and vegetables here are specialties of the Daluo Palace. Please taste them, and I hope they will suit your tastes."

Master Bai Ling smiled slightly, picked up a piece of cucumber with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth. It was crisp and refreshing, salty and spicy, but with a sweet taste. It was quite similar to the green cucumber from Jiangbei, but tasted even better.

"The Great Luo Palace has a profound foundation. Not only are its cultivation methods first-rate, but even these fruits, vegetables, and wines are extraordinary." Ancestor Mieyang's words were loaded with meaning. "Truly admirable!"

Gu Zhao smiled and shook his head, "Ancestor Mieyang is too kind. The Silent God Mountain has a thousand-year-old heritage, and I cannot accept such praise from you, senior."

The Ancestor of Extinction said meaningfully, "I am not fit to be the Palace Master, but I am fit to be the deity in the hall."

Gu Zhao smiled slightly, but did not answer. Silence meant tacit agreement.

Ancestor Mieyang's eyes remained still, but he had already scanned the hall. The ordinary disciples inside were unaware, but the three old Taoists to Gu Zhao's left naturally heard their conversation with Gu Zhao.

However, they remained silent with smiles, and the Ancestor of Extinction Yang, being highly skilled, even saw their true attitudes in the eyes of the three old Taoists.

Master Yihong was slightly dissatisfied, Master Mingyu was slightly teasing, and Master Yansong showed a faint disdain.

Ancestor Mieyang was not angry.

With a lifespan of nearly a thousand years and thousands of years of cultivation, he was a true ancient monster, long past the age of easily angered. Moreover, although these three old Taoists possessed profound foundations, their current cultivation was still shallow, so he didn't take them seriously. What he valued was Gu Zhao, who sat at the head of the table, and...

The person standing behind Gu Zhao might be a god.

Since the topic has come up, Ancestor Mieyang continued to ask, "Forgive my ignorance, but I have never heard of the deities within the Great Luo Palace. May I ask where the Palace Master of the Great Luo Palace learned of them?"

Gu Zhao gave an irrelevant answer, saying, "The methods practiced in the Daluo Palace come from these deities."

Ancestor Mieyang's eyes twitched involuntarily. "Just as I thought!"

Bai Lingshan Master put down his chopsticks and looked at Gu Zhao with a look of realization.

True Monarch Tianchen narrowed his eyes and nodded, saying, "The Palace Master of the Great Luo Palace is indeed straightforward. Then I will not stand on ceremony. May I ask if the Great Luo Palace's lineage comes from a high god in the Spirit Realm?"

Gu Zhao: ???
Daoist Yansong, Daoist Yihong, Daoist Mingyu: ? ? ?

The three old Taoist priests lowered their heads, concealed their gazes, calmed their emotions, and did not reveal the slightest flaw. They only communicated with Gu Zhao through the thunder seed.

"A supreme deity of the spirit realm! There really is another spirit realm!"

"The ordinary people in this world are exactly the same as those on Blue Star, and there are also legends of divine beasts such as the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise. Bai Ke's Heavenly Fox bloodline is also very similar to that of the Tu Shan clan in the ancient books. There must be some kind of connection between the two worlds."

“We have legends of ascension, and they really do have a spirit world.”

On the day the Black Rock Mountain Daluo Temple branch was to open, and in order to communicate with the top figures in this world, the group devised a plan to demonstrate their strength and test each other through communication.

They don't say everything, leaving people to guess, testing each other to judge the truth.

Unexpectedly, they had only just started eating when, after a few tentative exchanges, Bai Lingshan, who was closest to them, remained silent, and Mieyang Ancestor, with whom they had the most awkward relationship, did not reveal any information. On the contrary, Tianchen Zhenjun immediately launched into a major operation.

Of course, this could also be because Chaoyang Island is the strongest, and Tianchen Zhenjun has the fewest concerns about it.

Gu Zhao remained calm. "Why does True Lord Tianchen ask this question?"

True Monarch Tianchen couldn't help but chuckle, "Let's not beat around the bush in front of an honest person. Why does the Palace Master of the Great Luo Palace have to ask questions you already know the answer to? You have both the top-notch cultivation methods of human mages and the means of communication that directly connects to the upper realm. If you say that the Great Luo Palace has no connection with the gods of the Spirit Realm, then you are just lying through your teeth."

Gu Zhao's eyes flickered, and he whispered, "I was wondering why that incense-burning spell suddenly disappeared in the sky. So it really did go to find someone across realms?"

Daoist Yansong and Daoist Yihong both looked at Daoist Mingyu, who seemed a little confused. "I don't know either!"
