Controlling the Five Thunders and the Two Worlds

Chapter 430 The Source of the Evil Energy Has Been Found

"Ancestor Fei Hong!"

Upon entering the main hall, Bai Fei greeted everyone first, followed closely by Ye Yunsheng, who respectfully bowed with his hands clasped in greeting.

"Master Baishan! Leader Ye!"

An elderly man dressed in white with a kind face sat at the head of the table, returning the greeting with a smile, while his gaze fell on Gu Zhao, who was standing next to Bai Fei.

"Gu Zhao of the Great Luo Palace greets Senior Fei Hong." Gu Zhao stepped forward.

“My younger brother built the Daluo Palace himself, located in Changping Prefecture, Jiangzhou. Hearing of the Ancestor’s birthday, he came to pay his respects,” Bai Fei added.

Upon hearing the name of the Great Luo Palace, several people present exchanged glances, their eyes fixed on Gu Zhao, revealing a thoughtful expression.

One of them, his expression shifting slightly, asked directly, "Is this the Great Luo Palace that destroyed the Netherfire Cult Master and slew the Ink Dragon of Ink Lake?"

Gu Zhao looked at the man, who appeared to be a burly man in a black robe with gold trim, but in reality, he possessed a formidable soul power and was a ghost or god. "It is indeed me, Gu. May I ask who you are?"

The burly man cupped his hands in greeting, "Jin Xingtai, Mo Zichen."

Bai Fei transmitted her voice, "Mo Zichen is the leader of the Venus Platform in Xingzhu Prefecture, Jiangbei, Yongzhou. He once suffered a great loss at the hands of the Netherfire Sect Leader, but was saved by the Flying Phoenix Ancestor."

Gu Zhao nodded. Mo Zichen also carried a lot of murderous aura, and his cultivation level was actually quite average. He was the weakest in the palace. If they had met in Jiangnan, he might have been wiped out by several old Taoist priests working together.

The Lord of the Netherfire Sect and the Ink Lake Dragon were quite famous. By stepping on them to rise to power, everyone present looked at Gu Zhao with new respect.

Ancestor Feihong also raised his hand in a gentle voice, "Greetings, Palace Master Gu, please have a seat here."

This main hall is specifically used for receiving guests. Behind the Flying Rainbow Ancestor is a ten-zhang-tall wild goose sculpture, and on both sides it is more than ten zhang wide. Tables and chairs are arranged in a front-to-back manner.

The leading demons and monsters sat at the short table in front, while their disciples and subordinates sat at the long table at the edge.

Everyone was generally quite self-disciplined. Those with higher cultivation levels and closer relationships with Ancestor Feihong sat in the front, while those with lower cultivation levels and slightly more distant relationships sat in the back. However, the area itself wasn't too strictly hierarchical.

Bai Fei pulled Gu Zhao to sit on the right side near the front, and Ye Yunsheng and his wife followed, the three of them sitting together.

Yun Qian and Yan Yan led Daoist Yan Song and Daoist Ming Yu, along with the couple brought by Ye Yun Sheng, to the right corner and found an empty seat at a long table.

In fact, Daoist Yansong and Daoist Mingyu were no less skilled than those in front and behind, but as subordinates brought by Gu Zhao, they could only sit in the back.

However, this was also a good thing, as the two not only chatted with the couple from the Holy Union Church, but also spoke with several other people from Yuanzhou, Wangzhou, and even Pingzhou and Zhongzhou.

On the other side, Gu Zhao glanced at the source of the overwhelming murderous aura he had just sensed, and saw a young man with the aura of an eagle and the eyes of a wolf, who seemed to have just greeted the Flying Rainbow Ancestor and was taking his seat.

As luck would have it, the other person was sitting right across from Gu Zhao. They exchanged a glance, and the other person gave a slight nod as a gesture of acknowledgment.

"This is Yun Fei'ang, the master of the Yuntian Divine Palace in Shanzhou," Bai Fei introduced.

Gu Zhao raised an eyebrow. Bai Fei had introduced him to the two demons and three ghosts in Shanzhou besides the Great Mountain Dharma King. This Yun Tian Divine Palace Master, Yun Fei'ang, was one of the two demons. His true form was a golden eagle. He was highly skilled in Taoism and his actions were both righteous and evil.

But at this moment, Gu Zhao realized that Bai Fei's introduction was clearly wrong.

The forces of Jishen Mountain in Yongzhou can be described as both righteous and evil; as long as they don't deliberately target ordinary people, their murderous aura won't be too strong. But the murderous aura emanating from Yun Feiang far surpasses that of the Ancestor of Extinction Yang of Jishen Mountain, and is almost on par with the Lord of the Netherfire Cult.

Even though the two elders of the Cloud Heaven Divine Palace sitting behind him didn't have as much murderous aura as he did, they still had a lot more than other demons and monsters.

“Yuntian Divine Palace, Yun Feiang…” Gu Zhao narrowed his eyes and had already marked this person with an X in his notebook.

Besides Yun Feiang, there were two other people in the hall whose auras were relatively strong. Gu Zhao didn't specifically ask Bai Fei about them, but just listened to the titles people used in casual conversation and roughly figured out their identities.

One is a great demon from Pingzhou, and the other is a ghost or god from Shanzhou.

……

Although the banquet had not yet begun, fruits, vegetables, and wines were already laid out on the table. Everyone casually drank and chatted, and Gu Zhao also got to know some people through Bai Fei's introduction. Then, together they welcomed the experts who walked in one by one at the entrance of the main hall.

As expected of the venerable Fei Hong, who lived to be over eight hundred years old and was known as the master who bestowed grace upon the world, more than twenty experts came to offer their birthday wishes in just one morning, and none of them had a cultivation level of less than one thousand years.

A thousand years of cultivation is enough to dominate a prefecture and make one's name known throughout the state.

If they have cultivated for more than three thousand years, they will all be overlord-level experts in the state, and their fame will spread throughout the world.

To be honest, even though the top-tier Daoists of the Great Luo Palace have been cultivating for over a thousand years, you can't look down on experts with a thousand years of cultivation just because you're cultivating at a rapid pace!

As noon approached, all the guests arrived. A total of twenty-nine masters with a thousand-year cultivation level gathered together, and their subordinates also had cultivation levels ranging from six or seven hundred years to three or four hundred years.

Aside from lacking top-tier experts, the demons and monsters on this mountain might very well be able to challenge the Xuanwei Divine Sect.

The servants and maids of Hongguang Mountain began to enter the main hall in a flowing stream, serving delicacies. The dancers and band invited from the secular world below the mountain began to enter the main hall to perform music.

As the banquet progressed, toasts were exchanged and the birthday celebration gradually became lively.

Seeing that the atmosphere was right, the pale-faced scholar at the head of the left stood up and bowed, attracting everyone's attention.

"Today is the birthday of Ancestor Fei Hong. Guests are plentiful and the whole world is celebrating. I am unworthy to offer this humble gift as a starting point, along with a three-thousand-year-old Yuan Yang White Jade Ginseng and a piece of Azure Sky Crystal. I wish Ancestor a long and healthy life, and that his life will be as radiant as the sun and moon!"

The pale-faced scholar clapped his hands, and a white jade ginseng as thick as a forearm and a green crystal the size of a fist suddenly appeared and floated in front of him.

"it is good!"

"color!"

Everyone cheered, and even the old ancestor Fei Hong's eyes shone as he nodded repeatedly, "Brother Zhiyuan, you've put your heart into this."

The Azure Heaven Crystal is one thing, but the Yuan Yang White Jade Ginseng does indeed have the effect of increasing cultivation and extending lifespan. With a medicinal age of three thousand years, it also has an effect on Ancestor Fei Hong.

Then two attendants came down, each carrying a tray. They accepted the white jade ginseng and the Azure Sky Crystal, bowed respectfully, and then returned to Old Ancestor Fei Hong's side with the trays.

Bai Fei introduced, "This is Yuan Zhou Zhiyuan, a divine lord, who has a very close relationship with Ancestor Fei Hong."

Seeing the slightly hesitant expressions on the faces of the few people below the pale-faced scholar, Gu Zhao roughly knew that this three-thousand-year-old ginseng king was extremely precious.

Well, because the Great Luo Palace has yet to collect any treasures with a medicinal age of three thousand years!
