Controlling the Five Thunders and the Two Worlds

Chapter 432 They've Got Their Eyes on Each Other

"The Great Way is formless, the Great Way is emotionless, the Great Way is nameless." Gu Zhao smiled. "The so-called Way is both a path and a direction. Taking the Way as our name is a constant reminder not to forget our original intentions and to avoid going astray."

Gu Zhao only mentioned the Daoist interpretation in the "Taishang Laojun Shuo Chang Qingjing Jing" without explaining it in detail.

Because countless Taoists throughout history have written countless interpretations of the Tao, if we were to truly discuss the Tao, each school and sect would have its own thoughts on it, and it would take three months to explain everything.

Mo Zichen naturally didn't understand either, but he still felt impressed and nodded seriously, "I see, the cultivation methods of the Great Luo Palace are unfathomable, I admire them!"

Yun Feiang looked up and suddenly said, "To be able to cultivate to this level as a mage is truly unfathomable."

His words immediately attracted a lot of attention.

As we all know, the true masters in this world are all demons or ghosts. There are also living masters here, but they are all sorcerers who have formed a bond with demons and ghosts and cultivate with the help of demonic power and ghostly energy.

For example, Ye Yunsheng's wife is a Dharma Master who cultivates in harmony with him and has more than two thousand years of Taoist practice.

It was precisely because there were human experts present, and ghosts and gods were once human, and monsters also appeared in human form, that they did not notice that Gu Zhao had cultivated for thousands of years in the body of a pure mage.

But when Yun Feiang mentioned it, everyone naturally realized what was going on.

"There are profound methods for monks to cultivate themselves?"

"The Great Luo Palace has set a precedent!"

"But I don't know how difficult the cultivation is, or what the limitations are."

People asked questions one after another; some were simply curious, some were slightly worried, and some were excited.

Among them, Ye Yunsheng's wife, Madam Ye, asked expectantly, "My daughter is also a mage, but unfortunately her cultivation is low. She has not yet found a suitable husband. I wonder if she can cultivate the Great Luo Palace's methods?"

Gu Zhao replied, "The Daluo Palace has a lineage of Fengyue sect techniques, which are most suitable for ghosts, gods, or humans with yin energy to cultivate. Previously, the palace took in a daughter born from a union between a ghost and a human, and she has now achieved some success."

Madam Ye's eyes lit up, "That little girl..."

“Cultivation techniques are not omnipotent; the talent and aptitude of the practitioner also matter,” Gu Zhao emphasized. “Moreover, the methods within my palace have very high requirements for one’s character and temperament.”

Those who commit evil deeds and whose hearts are clouded by worldly desires will never be able to cultivate themselves to a high level.

"Of course we know that," Ye Yunsheng said with a smile. "Among ghosts and gods, there are the two leaders of the Xuanwei Divine Sect, Taixuan and Shenwei, who can cultivate for ten thousand years, as well as lonely ghosts who are not of any use."

After hearing Gu Zhao's explanation, which was largely in line with their own thoughts, the people around them were relieved.

Not far away, Divine Lord Zhiyuan asked, "Was the Great Luo Palace's method created by Palace Master Gu himself?"

Gu Zhao shook his head, "It was a deity from the upper realm who entered my dream to impart magic."

Everyone suddenly realized what was happening again.

Yun Feiang's eyes flickered, and he asked again, "Palace Master Gu's disciples claim to be Taoists, yet they are all sorcerers. It seems that the spirit god who passed down the method was also a sorcerer who ascended to heaven?"

Gu Zhao looked at Yun Feiang, his mind racing.

Judging from his appearance upon entering, Yun Feiang, aside from wishing Ancestor Feihong a happy birthday, is inherently aloof and rarely interacts with others. Even with the two powerful cultivators beside him, he barely spoke.

But after Mo Zichen came over to offer a toast, he asked questions twice in a row, and both questions were quite in-depth.

Yun Feiang was already exuding a murderous aura, which made Gu Zhao pay close attention to him, and now she paid even more attention to him.

"The gods of the upper realm are compassionate and enlighten all under heaven. Whether human, demon, or ghost, as long as one's temperament and endowment are sufficient, one can enter the Great Luo Palace to cultivate the method of immortality," Gu Zhao said. "Indeed, it is the lineage of a sorcerer."

"There are also sorcerers in the Xuanwei Divine Sect, but it is extremely difficult for them to cultivate."

"The Great Luo Palace has an extraordinary heritage, and it can even refine pills that are a thousand years old."

"But who knows which deity has created this new method of transmitting magic through dreams?"

The crowd discussed amongst themselves, each harboring their own doubts.

However, a glint flashed in Yun Feiang's eyes as he recalled the telepathic message the Demon God had sent to his mind.

Daoist lineage!

Those under the tutelage of the Daluo Palace call themselves Taoists, and their methods are also transmitted by immortals from the upper realm!
The gods of the spirit realm are descended from the bloodline of demons, and there is no such thing as transmitting magic through dreams. Therefore, the inheritance of the Great Luo Palace is not from the spirit realm, but from the Dao realm mentioned in the transmission of the demon god's voice!

Judging from the content of the demon god's message, the demon realm he cultivated and ascended to probably doesn't get along with this Dao realm.

Yun Feiang narrowed his eyes. No wonder he didn't like this Grand Luo Palace Master from the beginning.

Gu Zhao was already paying attention to Yun Feiang, so he naturally saw the fleeting look of realization in Yun Feiang's eyes. At the same time, his Taoist cultivation technique was natural, agile, and sensitive, and he also sensed a trace of malice hidden in that realization.

Huh? I haven't even gone to see you yet, and you're already making moves on me?
……

The birthday banquet of the Flying Goose Ancestor was very lively. Gu Zhao attracted a lot of attention, both unexpectedly and unsurprisingly. With the introductions of Bai Fei, Ye Yunsheng, and Mo Zichen, as well as some people taking the initiative to introduce themselves, he got to know some Spirit Lords and Ghost Gods.

The birthday banquet lasted from noon until sunset before the first person took their leave.

Seeing that it was almost time, Bai Fei took her leave, and Gu Zhao and Ye Yunsheng followed suit. Mo Zichen from Jin Xingtai also came out, saying, "I'd like to visit the Daluo Palace in a few days. Would that be convenient?"

Gu Zhao nodded. "Brother Mo, I welcome your visit, but I have one thing to remind you of."

Mo Zichen was puzzled. "Brother Gu, please speak frankly."

Gu Zhao said calmly, "Daluo Palace punishes evil and protects the region in Jiangnan. If Brother Mo can't hold back in Jiangnan, many elders in my palace may not give Brother Mo face."

Bai Fei and Ye Yunsheng were taken aback, while Mo Zichen's pupils shrank.

Madam Ye, however, curiously chimed in, "There are no rumors of Jin Xingtai indiscriminately killing innocent people in Xingzhu Prefecture, are there?"

"Oh?" Gu Zhao raised an eyebrow, looked at Mo Zichen, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes.

He didn't indiscriminately kill innocent people, but he had a lot of murderous aura about him. Could this guy be a seemingly rough and tough guy who is actually treacherous in secret?

Bai Fei and Ye Yunsheng also looked at Mo Zichen with curiosity.

Compared to Mo Zichen, they naturally trusted Gu Zhao's judgment. In fact, not only Gu Zhao, but even the two old Taoist priests behind Gu Zhao were staring intently at Mo Zichen. If this place were not the territory of the Flying Goose Ancestor, they might have been unable to resist taking action.

Mo Zichen bowed with shame, "Brother Gu's insight is brilliant. I am ashamed. Back then, in order to fight against the Netherfire Demon, I slaughtered mortals to refine treasures, killing countless people. I regretted it too late. For the past thirty years, I have protected the area in Xingzhu Prefecture and will never do evil again."

"Oh?" Bai Fei and Ye Yunsheng looked at Gu Zhao in shock.

The battle between Mo Zichen and the Lord of the Netherfire Sect was thirty years ago. Unexpectedly, Gu Zhao was able to see through Mo Zichen's evil deeds at a glance.
