Controlling the Five Thunders and the Two Worlds

Chapter 484 The Snow Woman After the Pact

"Lady Huanhua is dead?"

Gu Zhao condensed two lightning seeds at once and sent a telepathic message to Daoist Gao Yue.

"died."

Master Gaoyue stared at the wisp of smoke and dust before him, its dead body disintegrating with its unseeing eyes.

"The master of Iron King Mountain is aloof and proud, and never eats people."

"The Hidden Moon Lord lives in seclusion on Moon Mountain and has few evil deeds."

"The leader of the Red Lantern Cult is a good ghost. It is said that he suffered a miserable life and now he is dedicated to protecting pitiful women."

Master Gao Yue introduced the remaining one demon and two ghosts in Shanzhou.

Gu Zhao nodded. "In that case, there shouldn't be any more major battles after Shanzhou."

“That’s right, but Shanzhou is a province with eight prefectures and borders the Western Divine Kingdom. There are many demons and monsters lurking in the shadows, so cleaning them up will probably be quite troublesome,” Master Xuxing added.

Gu Zhao laughed and said, "Wouldn't that be a good opportunity for Uncle Lingya and Uncle Zhiqing to gain some experience?"

Looking at the wedding procession that had already appeared on the horizon, Gu Zhao transmitted his voice, "Zhan Qing has returned with his wife. I guess Uncle Han Zheng and Uncle Han Xuan will be heading there soon."

Master Zhiqing and Master Zhixiu laughed heartily, "Welcome, welcome!"

They gained a lot from the battle in Shanzhou, and their experience progress bar was much longer than that of Daoist Hanzheng and Daoist Hanxuan.

As everyone was whispering and joking, the wedding procession drew near.

Besides the group of people who went to fetch the bride, several skilled individuals from Snow God Mountain also came to escort her.

Led by Xue Yining, there were also two pairs of Snow Maidens and Mage couples, a total of five experts, guarding around a red sedan chair that seemed to float in mid-air.

As for the person in the red sedan chair, that was naturally the bride, Xue Bingbing.

Gu Zhao waved his hand, and a seven-colored rainbow light stretched out from the Daluo Palace, crossing the void and extending to the feet of the group.

As everyone stepped onto the rainbow, they were lifted up by its light and arrived at the main hall of the Daluo Palace smoothly and quickly.

Xue Yining had been here before, but the other two couples were visiting for the first time. They bowed and greeted Palace Master Gu.

Xue Yining introduced the two sides, and Gu Zhao invited everyone back to the palace.

The two couples followed along the way, and although they were mentally prepared, they were still secretly alarmed.

"This Great Luo Palace is incredibly imposing. Has it really only been established for two years?"

"The Daluo Palace on Cuiluo Mountain has only been established for two years, but it has been secretly developing for hundreds of years."

The Snow God Mountain group would naturally not communicate with each other in front of the experts of the Great Luo Palace, but the married couple could communicate with each other through divine sense without being detected by outsiders.

"It is said that the spiritual energy of the former site of the Daluo Palace is not strong, but there are many people with extraordinary talents."

"Even these exceptionally talented individuals need to cultivate their magical power before they can leave the former site of the Great Luo Palace."

"But as soon as they come out, their cultivation level can advance by leaps and bounds, progressing by a thousand miles a day."

“Look at this Daoist Shenhao. His cultivation is higher than yours and mine, but he really only came out of the old site of the Great Luo Palace two years ago. It is said that when he came out, he had less than five hundred years of cultivation, but now he has more than a thousand years of cultivation.”

"There are also the methods of the Great Luo Palace, which can be practiced not only by mages but also by demons and ghosts. It is said that several guardian star officials of the Great Luo Palace have broken through the five-hundred-year limit of cultivation by obtaining the palace's inheritance."

"A deity from the spirit realm entering a dream to transmit magic—it's terrifying!"

"I wonder if we are capable of cultivation?"

"Not necessarily. Don't be fooled by the many experts in the Great Luo Palace. Their cultivation methods are actually very rigorous, requiring high levels of comprehension, mental state, character, and conduct. Not just anyone can learn them."

"That's true. Look at those outer disciples of the Great Luo Palace. They are considered experts in the mortal world, but after two years of joining the Great Luo Palace, they haven't cultivated a single bit of magic power."

The two snow maiden couples chatted as they joined the wedding procession to arrive at the backyard of the Great Luo Palace. Following the customs of this world, a wedding ceremony was held, and the procession was considered complete.

"Husband and wife are in harmony, escort them to the bridal chamber!" Master Xu Ning announced the ceremony, while several younger members, including Chang Yi and Yang Shuo, cheered from the sidelines.

Then Zhan Qing and Xue Bingbing were led to their bridal chamber.

But of course they didn't go straight to bed; instead, they went to have intercourse, since it was still daytime.

Several old Taoist priests, including Gu Zhao, waited quietly with burning eyes.

A chill filled the bridal chamber, along with the pervasive presence of divine power and magic.

A moment later, more Taoist Qi rose up, containing natural energy and spiritual fluctuations.

In the end, the two auras merged into one, forming an aura that was both seamless and distinct.

"Done?"

"It should be done."

A voice transmission from Zhan Qing echoed through their minds: "I've succeeded!"

"Whose Taoist master are you?" Master Shenhao snorted.

"Ahem, Grandmaster, you are my Daoist Master!" Zhan Qing said awkwardly.

"Squeak-"

Zhan Qing pushed open the door and came out with Xue Bingbing.

Not to mention the people from the Daluo Palace, even Xue Yining and the others from Snow God Mountain looked at Zhan Qing and Xue Bingbing with great curiosity.

Previously, the Snow Woman mostly formed bonds with ordinary people, and a small number formed bonds with mages who had certain cultivation levels, but the inherited magical power of the other party was far weaker than that of the Snow Woman.

This was the first time that the Snow Maiden had formed a bond with a mage whose lineage was no weaker than that of the Snow God Mountain. They also wanted to see if this bond would help the Snow Maiden in any other way besides improving her cultivation speed.
Seeing everyone staring intently at her, even the lively and bold Xue Bingbing couldn't help but shrink back.

Xue Yining smiled gently, "How does it feel to be in sync?"

Xue Bingbing chuckled upon hearing this and nodded repeatedly, "It feels so wonderful!"

Another snow maiden, Xue Ling'er, laughed, "It's truly amazing; even my entire body's icy and snowy aura feels..."

Then they saw Xue Bingbing reach out her hand, and an ice cone containing endless cold energy, yet also carrying a mysterious aura, suddenly condensed in her hand.

The icicles spun, their surfaces coalesced and dispersed, a chilling aura wafted through the air, refreshing and invigorating.

It has both a deadly chilling sensation and a refreshing coolness that soothes the mind and soul.

Xue Ling'er, "..."

She was also a highly skilled cultivator with hundreds of years of experience. How could she not sense the ice and snow magic contained in this ice cone? In terms of purity and mystery, it had already surpassed her own.

Xue Bingbing exclaimed excitedly, "The Daoist Qi of the Great Luo Palace is truly wondrous! It is naturally vast and profound. I can even sense a icy and snowy realm containing the essence of life and death within it, which is of great help to my cultivation!"

Master Shenhao stroked his beard and said, “The Shangqing Dadong Zhenjing contains the changes of the four seasons, spring, summer, autumn and winter, and the cycle of life and death.”

Winter, following the desolation of autumn and the vitality of spring, inherently contains the transformation of life and death, from birth to death and from death to life.

Above the ice and snow, all things are silent, symbolizing death; beneath the ice and snow, all things flourish, symbolizing life.

Looking at Xue Bingbing, Daoist Shenhao nodded in satisfaction, "To be able to comprehend the true meaning of winter ice and snow, the cycle of the four seasons and the transformation of life and death, so quickly from the Shangqing Dharma, Bingbing's comprehension is extraordinary, congratulations."

Xue Yining, Xue Ling'er, and Xue Lin, who had come with the bride, looked at each other in bewilderment.

They are all from the Snow Maiden lineage of Snow God Mountain, born in ice and snow, and die in ice and snow. They are pure ice and snow elites born in the world and the most skilled snow experts in the world.

But why do I feel that our understanding of ice and snow is not as good as that of a group of mages who do not cultivate ice and snow?
