Controlling the Five Thunders and the Two Worlds

Chapter 455 Snow God Mountain Comes to Propose Marriage

On the first day, Gu Zhao welcomed back the old Taoists, and on the second day, he received a letter of invitation from Snow God Mountain.

The visiting card was sent by Xue Yining. The snow-white card had crystal-clear snowflake patterns on it, and a few words were simply written on it.

This post looks ordinary, but it feels cool to the touch. It's neither paper nor silk, and it seems to have a refreshing and calming coolness that flows directly from the hand into the dantian (lower abdomen) of the mind, making the holder feel more clear-headed.

"Xue Feishuang?" Gu Zhao looked at the message on the visiting card. "Who is she?"

"She is the great-granddaughter of the Snow Goddess, Xue Bingbing's mother, and the current lord of Snow God Mountain, Lady Frost." Ye Ruyan was speechless.

Lady Frost of Snow God Mountain is indeed not as famous as True Lord Tianchen of Chaoyang Island, but this is because Yongzhou, where Chaoyang Island is located, is closer to the Central Plains, and the disciples of Chaoyang Island are more flamboyant than the disciples of Snow God Mountain.

In terms of true cultivation and strength, they are all contemporary leaders of major powers in the world, each with an ancient ancestor with ten thousand years of cultivation behind them, possessing profound foundations and dominating a province. It's hard to say who is more powerful.

"Wow, she came to pay her respects in person, that's really giving her face!" Gu Zhao flipped through the visiting card, somewhat curious. "But what is the purpose of her personal visit?"

"Xue Bingbing is her daughter," Zhuo Qingyan reminded her from the side.

Gu Zhao clicked his tongue. "Could it be that she's here to propose marriage?"

“Very likely,” Bi Yingying said from the side. “Last time, Daoist Zhanqing brought Xue Bingbing up the mountain.”

Bi Yingying was referring to the last siege of Yun Feiang. She heard that the great battle took place at the headquarters of the Daluo Palace. Some Taoist priests went to Shanzhou to clean up the mess, while others who were near Changping Prefecture returned to watch the battle.

Master Xu Ning, along with Chang Yi, Yang Shuo, Zhan Qing, and others, were among the group that returned to watch the battle. Xue Bingbing also returned with them and stayed at the Daluo Palace for quite some time, getting to know the women there.

Chen Zhi glanced at Gu Zhao and said, "I think Elder Zhanqing and Miss Xue are mutually attracted to each other. The Daluo Palace is also the lineage of the gods of the Spirit Realm, with a deep foundation. It's not surprising that Xueshen Mountain came to propose marriage."

……

The next day, Xue Feishuang climbed the mountain.

The other party's arrival was formal, and Gu Zhao received them with solemnity.

Since many senior Taoist priests were present, Taoist priests Jinghong and Jingfa greeted the guests at the Qinglong Mountain gate, Taoist priests Qingyuan and Qingwei waited at the Lingguan Hall, Taoist priests Jingfeng and Jingchun stood to the left and right of the Siyu Hall, and Taoist priests Yansong and Yanling greeted them at the Jade Emperor Hall.

Looking at the white-clad woman with a cool and aloof demeanor who was walking towards him, Gu Zhao raised his hand in greeting, "Greetings, Madam Shuang!"

"Greetings, Palace Master Gu." Xue Feishuang returned the greeting with a smile. "The Great Luo Palace is a place of outstanding people and abundant resources, and its power is formidable. It truly lives up to its reputation as the inheritance of a supreme god in the Spirit Realm."

"Madam, you're too kind. Please!" Gu Zhao welcomed Xue Feishuang into the Sanqing Hall, where they took their seats as host and guest.

Xue Feishuang glanced at Zhuo Qingyan, who was sitting next to Gu Zhao and whose cultivation was less than five hundred years. Her eyes flickered, and she smiled sweetly. Then she turned to Gu Zhao and said, "Regarding my daughter and your sect's Fang Zhanqing, Yi Ning has already told me about Palace Master Gu's attitude."

"I greatly admire the Palace Master's open-mindedness," Xue Feishuang said.

"Thank you for your understanding, Madam Shuang," Gu Zhao said with a smile.

“Now that they are both practicing chivalry together and are in love, I think their marriage should be put on the agenda,” Xue Feishuang said. “After all, once they are in harmony, their cultivation will progress faster, which will benefit both of them.”

Gu Zhao smiled and nodded.

Regarding the matter of harmony, the old Taoist priests in the Great Luo Palace have also studied it. It is somewhat similar to the dual cultivation of the soul and spirit. After the soul and spirit interact, it accelerates cultivation and the flow of magical power.

That is, the spirit moves the mind, and the mind moves the breath.

Strictly speaking, it doesn't affect the Taoist priest's own cultivation. If he wants, he can completely avoid mobilizing his magical power. However, in the past, Taoist priests who had reached a union didn't cultivate the true Qi of the Taoist sect, and their magical power was far inferior to that of the demons and ghosts who had reached a union. They relied on demonic power and Yin energy to aid their cultivation, so why would they refuse?
Moreover, demonic power has its own advantages. It has its own attributes and is inherently wild. When combined with the true qi of the Daoist sect, it can have unexpected and wonderful uses if the combination is done well.

So Zhan Qing was actually somewhat tempted.

It wasn't that Xue Bingbing had a good personality or was beautiful; it was mainly to explore the path for the Daoist cultivation of the Daluo Palace.

Changyi of the Celestial Master's Mansion: "You are shameless!"

Yang Shuo of the Chunyang Sect: "You're despicable!"

Jingyi, a member of the Qingjing faction, said, "You're just lusting after her body!"

Sanmaoshan is a deep, clear blue mountain. "I'm not, I didn't do it, don't talk nonsense!"

The newly arrived young Taoist priest Xiu Ming from the Lingbao Sect of Gexuan Mountain asked telepathically, "Senior brother! Can you teach me? I also want to marry the Snow Maiden!"

Everyone, "..."

"Cultivate diligently!" Changyi advised him. "With higher cultivation, not only can you get female demons, but even female ghosts are possible. Look at the sect leader's surroundings..."

Xiu Ming stared wide-eyed, incredulously asking, "Could it be that Ye Ruyan, Miao Yunji, Bi Yingying, Chen Zhi, He Cailian, Xu Sirou, Xiu Niang, Bai Ke... they are all...?"

Chang Yi remained expressionless. "You all better prove it to me. I didn't say anything!"

No one knows who tipped them off, but Changyi and Xiuming returned to the modern world together and took a ten-day vacation.

……

Bringing the topic back, Gu Zhao had long been mentally prepared for Zhan Qing and Xue Bingbing's marriage, but he originally thought that they would be in love and establish a relationship before he went to Snow God Mountain to propose.

After all, although the Daluo Palace has the background of a high god from the spirit world, Snow God Mountain also has the Snow Goddess, one of the most powerful goddesses of the time, presiding over it.

Unexpectedly, Xue Feishuang came in person.

Could it be that the fact that the sixteen old Taoist priests went to the Southern Frontier and destroyed Red Moon Valley has caught her attention?

“Madam Shuang is right.” Gu Zhao nodded and smiled. “In a few days, it will be the New Year’s Grand Ritual of my Great Luo Palace. Why don’t you stay in the palace for a couple of days? After I call Zhan Qing and the others back, we can talk in detail after the ritual.”

"Okay." Xue Feishuang nodded and smiled.

She knew that religious sects would hold events on specific holidays to perform miracles and attract followers, so she figured the Daluo Palace was similar and it wasn't surprising.

So Xue Feishuang stayed temporarily at the Daluo Palace. As the master of Snow God Mountain, she was naturally accompanied by Gu Zhao, with Zhuo Qingyan and Ye Ruyan by her side.

One of them is the wife of the palace master, and the other is the most powerful of the guardian star officials. They are both women, which is a perfect match.

As the appointed time drew near, many local gentry, wealthy merchants, and high-ranking officials from Jiangzhou arrived one after another and settled in Cuishan Town. Seeing the flags being raised and incense burning in the Daluo Palace, they couldn't help but show their anticipation.

A strange look appeared in Xue Feishuang's eyes. Even during the New Year's celebration of the Xuanwei Divine Sect back then, which was a grand event with many mortals, she had never shown such an expression.

She was curious, but didn't ask any questions. She just waited for the New Year to arrive to see how the New Year's Grand Ritual of the Great Luo Palace differed from the New Year's Festival of the Xuanwei Divine Sect.

But before she could even enjoy the New Year's celebration, she was greeted by a multitude of demons and monsters from Shanzhou, Yongzhou, Yazhou, Wuyailing, Antai Mountain Range, and even the north of Wanlingjiang, all coming to offer their New Year's greetings.
