Controlling the Five Thunders and the Two Worlds

Chapter 459 Follow-up Arrangements
Of course, all of this has a premise.

That is to annihilate the Great Sun Mystic Light Heaven-Opening Demon Ancestor, who descended to earth ten thousand years ago and unleashed a cataclysmic calamity.

If the Demon Ancestor succeeds in changing the world and turning this place into a demon realm, then not only will humans be unable to ascend and cultivate, but even demons will perish.

Thinking of this, the Dragon King of Ten Thousand Spirits could no longer sit still.

"My injuries have not yet healed. If the Heavenly Demon were to emerge, I would be of no help."

The Dragon King of Ten Thousand Spirits said to Gu Zhao, "Searching for the demonic cultivator is too time-consuming, so we will have to rely on you. I am going to Ink Lake to heal my injuries in seclusion. If you find the demonic cultivator but cannot deal with him, go to Ink Lake and call me."

“Okay!” Gu Zhao immediately agreed.

The Dragon King of Myriad Spirits nodded, then looked at Bi Yingying and Ye Ruyan not far away. With a flick of his finger, two beams of spiritual light entered their sea of ​​consciousness.

"This is a bit of my cultivation insight, which is beneficial to dragons and snakes."

"Thank you, Dragon King!" Bi Yingying and Ye Ruyan were excited and hurriedly bowed to express their gratitude.

The Dragon King of Ten Thousand Spirits is one of the most outstanding masters of this era. With ten thousand years of cultivation, he has the potential to ascend to immortality. His insights into cultivation are priceless treasures to them.

Although they also have inherited methods, their bloodlines are thin and their cultivation techniques are incomplete, so they basically have no hope of ascending to immortality in this life. If they can cultivate for a thousand years and live freely in the world for a few hundred years, that would be the ultimate achievement.

Unexpectedly, he has not only joined the Great Luo Palace and cultivated Taoist arts, making rapid progress in his skills, but he has also gained insights into the cultivation of a true dragon. With the combination of these two insights, he may even have the hope of ascending to immortality.
Even if you can't ascend to immortality, it's still great if your cultivation level increases significantly and your lifespan extends!

……

After seeing off the Dragon King of Ten Thousand Spirits, Gu Zhao convened a meeting with the old Taoist priests and told them the message the Dragon King of Ten Thousand Spirits had just sent.

Then everyone was very excited.

"So there are so many demons out there, how much malevolent energy must they possess!"

"Not only are there powerful demons, but also some demon cultivators who only practice demonic arts, but are not even worthy of being considered pawns of the Demon Ancestor?"

"Perhaps there's another one hidden in Yazhou?"

"Compared to the Central Plains, the mountainous region of the Southern Frontier is vast and has no unified imperial court, making it very suitable for cultivating demonic arts."

"There are five prefectures in the Jiangnan region, and there is also a Yue prefecture south of Shanzhou."

"Take down that Illusion Flower Palace in Shanzhou first!"

The old Taoist priests chatted amongst themselves, their expressions full of excitement, showing no fear whatsoever.

“Then let’s proceed step by step,” Gu Zhao said. “Uncle Gao Yue and the others will continue to advance in Shanzhou, Uncle Yan Song and Uncle Yan Qi will go to Yazhou to see if there are any demonic cultivators hiding there, Uncle Yi Hong can go to Yuezhou to scout ahead, and Uncle Ming Yu and Uncle Ming Chong can go to the Southern Frontier.”

"Yes!" the old Taoist priests replied in unison.

Gu Zhao then looked at Daoist Mingyu, "Uncle-Master, you can take the Heart Wheel and Eye Sword with you as well. Maybe you can find the remaining disciples of the Six-Headed Divine Lord."

Master Mingyu smiled and nodded, "Good!"

"Of course, there's also Zhan Qing's wedding." Gu Zhao turned and smiled, looking at Daoist Shen Hao, Daoist Han Zheng, and Daoist Han Xuan, "When we go to Snow God Mountain to fetch the bride, the three of you must be there."

Daoist Hanzheng and Daoist Hanxuan were overjoyed, while Daoist Shenhao stroked his beard and smiled, his white eyebrows fluttering, "Definitely! Definitely!"

……

"call--"

"it is finally over."

Important guests have left, and many old Taoists have also departed. Only some old friends remain temporarily, such as Ziyun Jun of Wuyailing, Luping of Jishenshan, and Bijingjing of Bishuitan.

However, with Daoist Mingchong, Daoist Jingfeng, Bi Yingying, and others accompanying them, Gu Zhao was freed up. As a cultivator, although he was already the leader of a powerful force, Gu Zhao was not really used to crowds, as it was mentally and physically exhausting.

At this time, the New Year's Grand Ceremony came to a successful conclusion, and the follow-up matters were taken care of by the disciples in the palace, so he returned to the sect leader's courtyard.

It was afternoon, and Zhuo Qingyan and Li Qingshuang were playing chess under the old tree in the courtyard. The embroiderer had warmed a pot of tea and was setting out freshly baked pastries on the table next to them.

Bai Ke first looked around at Zhuo Qingyan, but couldn't understand the chess situation, so she went to the embroiderer's side and reached out to take the Spring Festival cake.

Then the embroiderer slapped her hand and pointed to a food box not far away, "This is prepared for the young master. If you want to eat, go and get some from the box."

Bai Ke pouted, "She's almost eighteen, and she'll be old enough to serve the emperor in bed soon. Her temper has gotten worse than before."

The embroiderer was about to retort when she looked up and saw Gu Zhao walk into the courtyard. A blush flashed across her face, but she acted as if nothing had happened and said, "Young Master is here!"

"Huh?" Bai Ke looked up, her right hand reaching into the food box, while her left hand waved to Gu Zhao. "We were just talking about the embroiderer's ten... Hey, why did you step on me?"

Bai Ke turned around and glared angrily at the embroiderer.

The embroiderer took a piece of mung bean cake from a plate on the table and stuffed it into Bai Ke's mouth.

"Waaah—" Bai Ke couldn't speak, but her eyes were full of confusion. "Didn't you say that everything on the table was prepared for Gu Zhao?"

Zhuo Qingyan smiled slightly, and Li Qingshuang smiled back. The two women exchanged a smile, then got up and walked towards Gu Zhao.

"Have you finished dealing with the important matters?" Zhuo Qingyan asked.

Gu Zhao nodded. "It's over."

"Sit down and rest." Zhuo Qingyan took Gu Zhao's hand and pulled him to sit down at the table.

Gu Zhao took a piece of mille-feuille pastry, and the embroiderer hurriedly poured him tea.

After taking a bite of the pastry, Gu Zhao gave the embroiderer a thumbs-up, which made the embroiderer smile brightly. Then she casually mentioned what had just happened.

Whether it's the descent of a celestial demon or the chivalrous deeds of the righteous, it's no secret, and there's nothing that can't be said.

"Oh!" The embroiderer's mouth gaped open slightly, a hint of fear in her eyes. "The celestial demons of the upper realm! What should we do?"

Seeing her adorable expression, Li Qingshuang couldn't help but pinch her cheek. "Don't worry, who is your young master? A god from the spirit realm entered his dream to impart his teachings. He cultivated for thousands of years in just three years. It's no exaggeration to say that he is the chosen one of our time."

"A mere Heavenly Demon, if he doesn't come out, fine. But if he does, he'll just be a stepping stone for your young master," Li Qingshuang laughed. "How can the chosen one of this generation not have a worthy opponent?"

Gu Zhao hurriedly waved his hand, "It's over, it's over."

Zhuo Qingyan grasped Gu Zhao's hand, "Now that the Dragon King of Ten Thousand Spirits is by your side, you'll have helpers if you encounter powerful demons in the future."

Gu Zhao nodded noncommittally.

The Dragon King of Ten Thousand Spirits is indeed a reliable backup for them, but they can't call on him in every situation, otherwise where will the evil energy and lightning seeds come from?
There is still so much truth waiting for me to receive in my home!
At this point, Gu Zhao couldn't help but start thinking about the allocation of the eight lightning seeds in his sea of ​​consciousness.

……

sunset.

The tea had gone cold, and the snacks were all gone.

The embroiderer tidied up and left with Bai Ke.

Zhuo Qingyan smiled slightly and then drifted away.

Gu Zhao glanced at the sky, then returned to the bedroom with Li Qingshuang.

The moon is high in the sky, and the kingfisher sings softly!
