Controlling the Five Thunders and the Two Worlds

Chapter 429 Birthday Celebration at Rainbow Mountain

Wildflower honey and wildflower wine truly live up to their reputation as specialties of Bailing Mountain. The honey is refreshingly sweet, and the wine is mellow and fragrant. In particular, the spiritual energy is perfectly integrated into them. With one sip, the spiritual energy travels throughout the body, making one feel clear-headed and ethereal.

"Excellent wine!" Daoist Yansong exclaimed.

Although the alcohol content is not high, it is refreshing and fragrant, with a perfect blend of spirit and flavor, making it a unique product among fruit and flower wines.

"It's delicious!" Bai Ke was also filling a bottle with honey.

Wildflower honey is purer and fresher than wildflower wine. Although it may not have the variety of flavors as industrially produced beverages, it is actually more pleasant to drink.

Besides, the other fruits and vegetables are also quite good. Although there are only a few cooking methods such as steaming, boiling, roasting, and smoking, the spices are unique, so the flavors are distinctive and can be considered quite unique.

……

After the welcoming banquet, Bai Fei instructed Li Qingshuang to lead the disciples in entertaining Zhuo Qingyan and the others, while she herself took Gu Zhao to a side hall and gave him a brief introduction to the deeds and personality of the Flying Goose Ancestor.

“Yuanzhou is located north of Wanling River, bordering Jiangzhou and Shanzhou to the south, Pingzhou to the west, Wangzhou to the east, and Zhongzhou, the largest and most prosperous state in the Central Plains, to the north.”

"Ancestor Fei Hong lived to be over eight hundred years old, which is considered one of the longest-lived people in the world. However, it is a pity that his cultivation has not reached its peak. He has no hope of ascending to immortality in this life and is nearing the end of his lifespan."

“Grandpa Fei Hong is of high seniority and has great spiritual attainments. He also loves to make friends and mentor younger generations, so he has a wide network of connections and everyone is willing to give him face.”

“For this 800th birthday banquet, his friends from all the surrounding states will come to offer their congratulations, as will people from the Xuanwei Divine Cult and the Spirit Court,” Bai Fei reminded him. “They may not all be good people.”

Gu Zhao chuckled, "I wouldn't stoop to making a move at Old Ancestor Fei Hong's birthday banquet."

Bai Fei nodded and continued to remind them, "The Great Luo Palace destroyed the Netherfire Sect and killed the Ink Dragon, but it was only in Jiangnan, and the time was too recent, so not all the people in Jiangbei may have heard of it."

Gu Zhao understood. "I've reflected on my actions, Fei-jie, don't worry."

Bai Fei smiled and said, "You're not reliable at all, so I don't trust you."

The Netherfire Sect was one thing, but that Ink Dragon was not only highly skilled, but also possessed demonic powers. Bai Fei had already told Gu Zhao to invite her along, but Gu Zhao instead led all the elders of the Great Luo Palace to confront them head-on.

Of course, the result was good, and it also allowed Bai Fei to witness the speed of progress made by Gu Zhao and the Daoist sects of the Great Luo Palace.

The true strength of the Great Luo Palace is now no less than that of the White Spirit Mountain. Even in the whole world, it should be a well-known entity. It's just that its rise has been too fast, so the spread of its name cannot keep up with the growth of its strength.

Therefore, Xueshen Mountain is located south of Yazhou, which is why I have never heard of the name Daluo Palace.

That's why Bai Fei reminded Gu Zhao that not everyone understands the Daluo Palace as well as she does.

In fact, Bai Fei misunderstood Gu Zhao. As a model youth of the new century, Gu Zhao actually cherishes his life very much. He will not make a move unless he has a very high chance of winning. Even if he does make a move, he is confident that he can escape.

……

Over the next few days, the group stayed at Bailing Mountain, enjoying the scenery and sightseeing. They also visited Jiangyang Prefecture City for shopping.

On the day of Fei Hong Patriarch's birthday...

As soon as the sun rose, Gu Zhao was already ready. He led Daoist Yansong and Daoist Mingyu to the outside of the residence, where they saw Bai Fei and two other women waiting at the door.

The two women were quite different. One was dressed in purple, with a captivating figure and still retaining her charm, while the other was dressed in red, with a flat figure and a delicate and lovely appearance.

The purple one is a Purple Cloud Crane that has become a spirit, named Yun Qian; the red one is a Crimson-Eyed Sparrow that has transformed into a demon, named Yan Yan. Both of them have several hundred years of cultivation and are among the top experts on White Spirit Mountain.

Bai Fei didn't bring Li Qingshuang with her, leaving her at Bailing Mountain to accompany Zhuo Qingyan and the embroiderer on their continued tour.

"Walk?"

"Go!" As soon as the words were spoken, six streams of light flew out from Bailing Mountain and headed straight for Hongguang Mountain in the north.

The six people quickly flew out of Jiangyang Prefecture, crossed Fengyuan Prefecture, left Jiangzhou, and entered Yuanzhou. Then, four streaks of light shot in from the east.

"Master Baishan!"

"Master Ye!"

Gu Zhao turned around and saw a group of four people. The leader was a young man and woman, dressed in brocade robes and jade belts, looking very spirited. They looked to be no more than ten years old, but their eyes were like stars and their demeanor was exquisite.

Behind them followed a middle-aged couple, also dressed in flowing white robes, exuding an air of arrogance.

If they had met in the mortal world, Gu Zhao would have assumed they were a middle-aged couple with their two children. But now, judging from their posture and the way they spoke, Gu Zhao knew that the young couple were the real people, and the middle-aged couple were just their followers.

"This is Master Ye of the Holy Union Sect in Wangzhou, and his wife," Bai Fei introduced to Gu Zhao first.

Ye Yunsheng raised an eyebrow, looking at Gu Zhao with a hint of surprise, his eyes revealing a thoughtful expression.

He himself was a ghost who became a god, founded the Holy Union Sect, absorbed incense offerings, condensed his divine soul, and achieved thousands of years of cultivation over hundreds of years, becoming a powerful figure in Wangzhou and renowned throughout the world.

Even so, the Lord of Bailing Mountain first introduced himself to the other party. The young man in front of him looked unfamiliar. Just who was he?
"This is Palace Master Gu of the Daluo Palace in Jiangzhou." Bai Fei turned to Ye Yunsheng and introduced him solemnly, "He destroyed the Netherfire Sect, killed the Ink Dragon, eliminated demons and evil, and protected this region."

Ye Yunsheng's eyes flashed. Wangzhou was located north of Yongzhou, but it was adjacent to the two prefectures of Yongzhou and Jiangbei, and was separated from the Minghuo Sect by the Wanling River.

The time since the destruction of the Netherfire Cult was still short, and everyone's lifespan was long, with a slower pace of life. Therefore, although the news of the Netherfire Cult's destruction had spread throughout Jiangnan, it had not reached Jiangbei, at least not Ye Yunsheng.

As for the Ink Dragon, Ye Yunsheng only knew that it was violent and had the Myriad Spirits Dragon King as its adoptive father. He didn't know much else, but it was obviously a powerful demon with profound cultivation. He never expected that it would also die at the hands of the Daluo Palace Master.

"Greetings, Palace Master Gu!" Sect Leader Ye said with a grin, her small face looking quite adorable.

"Greetings, Master Ye!" Gu Zhao also bowed in greeting.

Ye Yunsheng and his wife exuded pure auras and were free of any malevolent energy. Although the couple behind him also possessed malevolent energy, it was only faint and not much.

After exchanging greetings upon their first meeting, the two sides did not engage in any further conversation, but simply continued their journey toward Hongguang Mountain together.

The group moved at great speed, with white clouds rushing past them and mountains receding beneath their feet. A tall mountain came into view in the distance, and at the same time, a rainbow of light crossed from Shanxi to Shandong, hovering behind the mountain and passing right over its peak.

"There are valleys on both sides of Rainbow Mountain, which are rich in moisture and often display a rainbow of colors, hence the name Rainbow Mountain," Bai Fei explained to Gu Zhao.

Gu Zhao nodded, and then he saw three streams of light approaching Rainbow Mountain in the distance. Then a rainbow light shot out from the mountain, guiding the three streams of light into the mountain.

Gu Zhao raised an eyebrow; this technique was similar to his own Rainbow Transformation Technique.

When he came to his senses, they had also approached Rainbow Mountain, and then a similar rainbow flew over, guiding them into the mountain.

"Whoosh-"

Upon arriving at Rainbow Light Mountain, they landed on a large platform halfway up the mountain. Two attendants stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Lord of White Spirit Mountain, greetings, Lord of Holy Union!"

Bai Fei tugged at Gu Zhao, "This is my friend, the Palace Master of Da Luo Palace, who came here especially to wish me a happy birthday."

"Greetings, Palace Master Da Luo!"

After the two boys bowed, they led the group toward the main hall not far away.

Sensing the rising and falling, each atmosphere with its own unique strengths, in the main hall, Gu Zhao narrowed his eyes.

There are many experts, and quite a few of them possess malevolent energy. One of them even has such malevolent energy that it's about to burst through the roof of the main hall. Where did this demon come from?
