Controlling the Five Thunders and the Two Worlds

Chapter 360 Speculations about the former site of the Great Luo Palace
Only two thunder seeds remained swirling around the Five Thunder Token in Gu Zhao's sea of ​​consciousness, so he could only take away Daoist Xining of the Quanzhen Huashan Sect and Daoist Miaozhen of the Chenzu Huashan Sect.

As for Master Xining's disciple Master Xianyuan, Master Miaozhen's disciple Master Faran, and his grand-disciple Master Tonghui, they will have to wait until next time.

Without Gu Zhao needing to explain, Daoist Xining and Daoist Miaozhen, having obtained the Thunder Seed and understanding everything, had already arranged everything.

"You all stay at home and cultivate yourselves diligently!"

"Let me go and scout the way for you first, then I'll come back to pick you up!"

Although the two old Taoist priests were full of solemn, concerned, selfless, and ambitious words and expressions, the other three Taoist priests could see that the two were grinning from ear to ear.

Yun Yang seemed to see Master Zhiqing of the Celestial Master's Mansion back then, and Gu Zhao seemed to see Master Hanzheng and others from Sanmao Mountain back then.

Fortunately, they have now arrived in another world and are now traveling around in a vengeful manner, acting on behalf of Heaven, subduing demons and monsters, and letting the hidden demons and monsters in various places feel the long-suppressed passion of the Celestial Masters of the Celestial Master's Mansion and the Shangqing School of Taoist priests.

……

Cuiluo Mountain, Daluo Palace.

Master Yuhua of the Beidi School, Master Lingya of the Ziyang School, Master Chongxuan of the Shenxiao School, Master Xining of the Huashan School, and Master Miaozhen all arrived.

"Wow!"

The spiritually rich atmosphere, the palaces scattered across the mountainside, the endless stream of devout pilgrims, and the magical demons and monsters all astonished the newly arrived Taoist priests.

However, the old Taoists were not discouraged. They obtained the Thunder Seed, activated their innate Qi, and condensed half a lifetime of cultivation. Their cultivation level directly reached more than two hundred years, far exceeding that of ordinary disciples in the Great Luo Palace.

Once they begin their journey down the mountain to fight evil and subdue demons, if all goes well, it should take them less than six months to a year to cross the threshold of five hundred years of cultivation, allowing them to ascend to heaven and descend to earth, and to roam the vast ocean.

"welcome!"

Now that the Daluo Palace has great influence, the old Taoist priests are either stationed at their branch temples or traveling around, and sometimes they are unable to leave their posts. Therefore, not all of them have returned to welcome the newcomers. Only some familiar people or those with lineage connections have come.

Master Yihong of the Changping Prefecture branch temple has returned. As a senior member of the Quanzhen Longmen School, he chatted with Master Lingya, the oldest member of the sect.

Taoist priests Huaiyi from the Jinshan School, Taixian from the Suishan School, Xuanyong from the Yushan School, and Xuning from the Qingjing School, all from Laoshan, came together to welcome the two elderly Taoist priests from the Huashan School.

Master Mingyu of the Celestial Master's Mansion and Master Gaoyue of the Qingwei School smiled and invited Master Chongxuan to take a seat.

As for Master Yuhua... his senior brother, Master Yuzhang, is right beside him!
Zhuo Qingyan sat beside Gu Zhao, casually talking about daily life in the Daluo Palace, such as how she and Bi Yingying had developed a new painting technique, and how the embroiderer had invented a new dessert.

Many guardian star officials also sat at a separate table to keep her company. Miao Yunji asked Ye Ruyan in a low voice, "Are these all elders from the old site of the Great Luo Palace? They don't seem that powerful."

Ye Ruyan shook her head. "What do you think of the methods taught by the Great Luo Palace?"

“Subtle and profound, unfathomable,” Miao Yunji said immediately.

Ye Ruyan then pointed to Daoist Yihong and Daoist Mingyu sitting in front, "What do you think of Elder Yihong and Elder Mingyu?"

"Your cultivation is profound, and your magical power is immense!" Miao Yunji echoed.

Ye Ruyan said meaningfully, "It is said that two years ago, they had less than five hundred years of cultivation."

"How is that possible?" Miao Yunji couldn't believe it. Daoist Yi Hong and Daoist Ming Yu were the first-tier elders in the Great Luo Palace, with over a thousand years of cultivation and magical power. Each of them could support a prefecture-level force on their own.

You're telling me that a master of this level can transform within two years?
“Although the sect leader and the elders didn’t say it, everyone in the palace has their own guesses,” Ye Ruyan said. “The former site of the Great Luo Palace should be a place where spiritual energy is not abundant.”

"Hmm?" Miao Yunji frowned in thought.

“This may have been intentionally done by the ancestors of the Daluo Palace,” Ye Ruyan added.

"Why?" Miao Yunji asked, puzzled.

"Because in this way, disciples can concentrate on improving their cultivation and mental state, and will not be tempted by external things," Ye Ruyan said. "Being able to achieve success in cultivation in a place with scarce spiritual energy means that even if one's own magical power is not high, one's mental state and cultivation have already far surpassed others."

Once they emerge from the mountains, they can advance by leaps and bounds, encountering almost no bottlenecks, growing at a speed far exceeding that of ordinary demons and spirits, even those practicing dual cultivation, until they reach their limits.

Miao Yunji looked at Daoist Yi Hong and Daoist Ming Yu, then at Daoist Gao Yue, Daoist Huai Yi, and the others, "Have they not yet reached their limits?"

“Obviously not yet,” Ye Ruyan said. “They don’t have it, and neither does the sect leader.”

Miao Yunji said, "Although the sect leader is young, his cultivation speed is faster than that of many elders."

Ye Ruyan smiled and said, "That's why we call him the sect leader."

Miao Yunji looked at the newly arrived old Taoists and said, "But this has both advantages and disadvantages. If the spiritual energy is scarce, many people may be buried. And if something unexpected happens along the way, wouldn't that be a pity?"

Ye Ruyan nodded, "Therefore, the former site of the Great Luo Palace must be an extremely secretive place. Apart from the sect leader and the elders, no one knows where it is."

“Even Miss Zhuo and the embroiderer don’t know,” Ye Ruyan added.

Zhuo Qingyan was practically the headmaster's wife in the Daluo Palace, and Xiu Niang was Gu Zhao's personal maid. Even the two of them didn't know this, so the others had naturally already accepted it.

Miao Yunji understood, "The matter was accomplished in secret, no wonder the Daluo Palace has achieved its current power."

Ye Ruyan said softly, "According to the sect leader, the Daluo Palace has been living in seclusion for hundreds of years. Now that they have come out of seclusion, they must have made full preparations. In the future, more and more elders will come out of seclusion."

Miao Yunji was quite surprised, "The Great Luo Palace already has more than a dozen people who have cultivated for over five hundred years. If all the elders in the palace have this potential, and there are many more elders in the future..."

Ye Ruyan and Miao Yunji exchanged a glance, unable to imagine the power and prestige that the Great Luo Palace would possess in the future.

Hundreds of elders who can fly?
If the sect leader could reach the level of the Xuanwei Divine Sect leader or the Chaoyang Island patriarch, and then have hundreds of elders who are top-level experts in charge, the Daluo Palace could probably be called the number one power in the world.

Ye Ruyan and Miao Yunji did not doubt Gu Zhao's ability to achieve this, because the Daluo Palace had powerful backers, a fact jointly verified by Chaoyang Island, Jishen Mountain, and Bailing Mountain.

"I heard that Jishenshan came to Daluo Palace to pay homage a few days ago?" Ye Ruyan asked Huang Yuan, who was not far away.

Huang Yuan nodded and then shook his head. "A master from Jishen Mountain named Lu Yu came to Daluo Palace mainly to visit Elder Jingfeng. Hearing that Elder Jingfeng was at Daluo Temple in Qianshan Prefecture, he went to Qianshan Prefecture."

He Feng leaned closer, beaming with pride, "It's said that several experts from Chaoyang Island often visit Elder Shenhao of Heyan Mansion to discuss metaphysics and law, and they greatly admire Elder Shenhao."
