Controlling the Five Thunders and the Two Worlds

Chapter 501 Bai Ke's Identity

The group returned to the Daluo Palace that night.

Gu Zhao had the embroiderer and Bai Ke entertain Bai Yiqi and Bai Yixuan, while he himself affixed talismans to the soul banner and the spirit bead, and then threw them into the warehouse.

Heart Chakra, Eye Sword, Tail Diagram, Soul Banner, Intention Bead.

I have already collected five of the six magical treasures of the Six-Headed Divine Lord.

It is said that by collecting all six magical treasures, one can summon... no, one can cultivate the methods of the Six-Headed Divine Lord, achieve ten thousand years of cultivation, ascend to the spirit realm, and become a demon god.

Hmm, that sounds so unappealing!
I will continue to cultivate Taoist techniques and strive to ascend to the Thirty-Three Heavens of Taoism in the future, where I can obtain a position in the Thunder Department.

Gu Zhao stretched, then hugged Zhuo Qingyan and continued sleeping.

……

Gu Zhao was quite satisfied with having eliminated another of the Demon Ancestor's pawns.

Yes, even a great demon with thousands of years of cultivation is just a pawn of that Demon Ancestor. Only those with cultivation as high as the Dragon King of Ten Thousand Spirits are qualified to be schemed against by the Demon Ancestor.

At the same time, Gu Zhao remained vigilant, thinking, "The Demon Ancestor will be born soon."

Just how fast is "not long ago"?

When Gu Zhao was eliminating the Ink Dragon, he learned about the Great Sun Profound Light Heaven-Opening Demon Ancestor for the first time. Then Yun Fei'ang came with a mission to lure and kill him.

Yun Feiang's attempt to lure and kill him failed, and now Mohe Shenjun has appeared.

Gu Zhao had previously thought that Mo He Shenjun was after the Eye Sword and Tail Diagram left behind by Xie Zhihan, but when he heard him shout the words "successor of the Dao Realm," he could tell that he was also one of Mo He Shenjun's targets.

But Gu Zhao thought about it and felt that it probably wouldn't be too fast.

Because if this Demon Ancestor was truly "about to be born," he wouldn't need to send so many pawns practicing demonic arts to deal with him.

After he is born, wouldn't it be fine if he came over on his own?

As a celestial demon who once nearly swept across the world and almost turned this realm into a demonic domain, his opponents must have at least tens of thousands of cultivation levels to be considered worthy of attention. He himself should not have reached that level yet.

Sending out so many pieces means he can't get out in a short time and is worried about us growing too fast, right?

However, if he is very familiar with the Daoist world, does he know that Daoist disciples can use evil energy to cultivate quickly?
Gu Zhao was a little confused. Sending them over one by one, implementing a piecemeal approach, wasn't this helping them grow quickly?

Is this Demon Ancestor helping them or harming them?
Gu Zhao was completely baffled.

At the same time, he heard the phrase "the true spirit descends to earth" again.

"First of all, we can be certain that this Demon Ancestor's origins are definitely not simple. He knows about the Dao Realm's heritage and must know our ancestor."

"Secondly, the other party is probably no match for the patriarchs and is very wary of the patriarchs' spirits descending to earth."

"This Mohe Divine Lord also received instructions from the Demon Ancestor, and he even knows the word 'divine immortal.'"

Gu Zhao and the other old Taoists communicated through the Five Thunder Tokens and Thunder Seeds, using their divine senses to exchange ideas.

“He certainly doesn’t know the mysteries of the Five Thunder Token, otherwise he would never have used this piecemeal tactic,” said Daoist Yansong.

"It's also possible that he underestimated the sect leader's growth rate. After all, Yun Fei'ang and this Mohe Divine Lord are already very powerful," Daoist Mingyu said thoughtfully.

"There's another possibility: he can't control a truly powerful expert like the Dragon King of Ten Thousand Spirits," Master Yihong said with a smile.

Judging from the fact that the Demon Ancestor could only control the Black Dragon to plot against the Myriad Spirits Dragon King and wanted to refine the Myriad Spirits Dragon King to create the Demon Realm, the Demon Ancestor was unable to control the Myriad Spirits Dragon King.

"This is good news. At least we don't have to worry about a master with ten thousand years of cultivation suddenly appearing," Daoist Yanling joked.

The old Taoist priests all laughed upon hearing this.

"Have any traces of the demon been discovered in Jiangbei?" Gu Zhao asked casually.

"I've discovered traces of the demon in Lezhou and am currently investigating," Master Jingfeng suddenly announced. "Hmm?" All the old Taoists turned to look.

"Lezhou is close to the border, and people in several prefectures have been harmed, and there are also demons and ghosts who have died inexplicably."

Master Jingfeng said in a deep voice, "Lezhou is adjacent to many divine kingdoms in the west. Previously, the Xuanwei Divine Sect thought that the gods of the western divine kingdoms were killing people and refining their souls, which led to a conflict with the west."

I circled around here a few times and detected a very faint demonic aura. I'm certain it was someone practicing demonic arts who was responsible, but I'm unsure just how powerful they are.

“I’m in Lezhou, but I’m in the east of Lezhou. I’ll come and help you,” said Master Qingyuan.

“Alright!” Master Jingfeng nodded.

After much discussion, the final conclusion remained the same: to remain unchanged in the face of all changes.

While the Demon Ancestor has not yet been born, we must seize the time to clean up the demonic cultivators on the ground, absorb their evil energy, and enhance our cultivation.

With this shift in power, it is hoped that by the time the Demon Ancestor is born, they will have grown strong enough to deal with this mortal Demon Ancestor.

At the same time, the annual New Year's Grand Ritual must never be interrupted.

True Lord Tianchen judged that their incense-burning incantation was a means of communication connecting to the heavens, and they could also sense that the power of the incantation disappeared into the heavens.

Therefore, it can be concluded that the Incense Offering Mantra may indeed be able to connect with the Taoist world.

As for why there has been no feedback, there are many possibilities.

For example, their cultivation level is still insufficient, and the Incense Offering Mantra cannot reach the Daoist world.

For example, there are too many people offering incense in the mortal realm, and the gods can't attend to them all.

Of course, the worst-case scenario is that their version of the Incense Offering Mantra is incomplete and does not contain location information. Although the Incense Offering Mantra flies out of this world, it is unknown where it will fly next.

"Ahem, in Taoist cultivation, the name is the coordinate, so it shouldn't be impossible to find the place." Master Shenhao, as an elder of the Shangqing School, analyzed for everyone, "The first two are probably more likely."

Master Yuzhang said, “Next time we hold a grand New Year’s ritual, when we cast the spells together, let’s try including the information about the Demon Ancestor who appeared in this world.”

“That makes sense, we can give it a try,” Master Mingyu affirmed.

Regarding the offering of incense and prayers, the Eight Great Divine Incantations are the professional expertise of the Zhengyi School. Since Daoist Mingyu, Daoist Shenhao, and Daoist Yuzhang have put forward their ideas, the senior Daoists of the Quanzhen School naturally will not object.

……

A certain ley line, a certain demon's lair.

Demonic energy surged, and demonic thoughts surged.

"That toad is dead too."

"Wait a minute, even if those immortals entered my dreams to impart their teachings, isn't the cultivation speed of these successors a bit too fast?"

"Last time, it took more than a dozen people to deal with that little mudfish, but this time, that so-called Great Luo Palace Master won all by himself against the toad."

"And that aura I sensed last time..."

……

The next morning, Gu Zhao got out of Zhuo Qingyan's bed.

After completing a set of the Eight-Section Brocade Exercises for True Harmony of Qi, Gu Zhao, feeling refreshed, went to the embroiderer's courtyard.

Those two celestial foxes stayed with the embroiderer and Bai Ke yesterday.

He had just reached the door when he heard Bai Yixuan say, "You can use Moonlight Escape, so you must be Aunt Bai Thirteen's daughter!"
