Controlling the Five Thunders and the Two Worlds

Chapter 505 My Grandmaster Became an Immortal?
A crushing defeat in the mid-game!

Gu Zhao scratched his face, unable to figure out exactly where he had failed.

Although the other side attacked fiercely, we defended quite well. How did we get eaten up inexplicably?
Master Yun Chang was silent for a moment, then chuckled and said, "Young friend, your chess style has a classical feel to it. Have you studied many famous chess scores?"

Master Hai Zhao, standing beside him, nodded. "A steady start and a step-by-step approach are quite good."

The two young Taoist priests beside him chuckled.

Although the two old Taoist priests were searching for directions, the two young Taoist priests understood the meaning behind their words.

Although this young man is a Go enthusiast, his talent is really limited.

Having studied countless chess records, one can play skillfully in the opening stages, avoiding being at a disadvantage. However, once the game enters the middle game, there are no more references, and one must rely entirely on one's own abilities.

Gu Zhao clearly didn't have much skill; despite not falling behind at the start, he was completely crushed in the mid-game!

If the two young Taoist priests could hear the unspoken message, Gu Zhao certainly wouldn't miss it either.

Gu Zhao wasn't embarrassed, but just smiled and said, "I did have a misunderstanding about my own chess skills. Watching the two of you play, I didn't think you were that strong, but when I actually played against you, I was no match for you at all."

A young Taoist priest next to him chuckled and comforted him, "It's normal. I'm the same way. I watch my master play chess and think I'm about the same, but I get completely crushed as soon as I start playing."

Gu Zhao nodded, then picked up the chess pieces one by one from the chessboard and put them into the chess box. "How should I address you, Daoist Master?"

"Li Yunchang," Daoist Yunchang replied casually, "Are you a local, young friend?"

“No.” Gu Zhao shook his head. “I’m from Guangzhou.”

"Yangcheng?" The other young Taoist priest looked Gu Zhao up and down and asked curiously, "Did you find a job here?"

Gu Zhao looked at himself, then at the tourists not far away, and understood why they asked that question.

"No, not exactly," Gu Zhao said with a smile. "I just came from Guangzhou."

The young Taoist priest blinked, paused for a moment, and finally said, "I've long heard that the people of Guangzhou are relaxed and leisurely, and seeing it for myself today, I can confirm that the rumors are true."

Everyone else was wearing a windproof jacket, sun hat, outdoor bag, hiking boots, and trekking poles.

Gu Zhao was dressed casually in sneakers, and his hands were empty.

Fortunately, it's not summer yet. Kongdong Mountain is located in the northwest, and the cold air hasn't dissipated. Otherwise, wouldn't he have to wear shorts and flip-flops?
Gu Zhao put all the chess pieces back into the chess box and replied with a smile, "You're too kind. Actually, most people in Guangzhou aren't this relaxed. This is a special case for me."

"What special circumstances?" the young Taoist priest asked.

Gu Zhao did not answer, but instead looked at Daoist Yun Chang, "There should be a stake in playing chess. Since I have lost, I will give Daoist a gift."

"No need, no need," Daoist Yun Chang waved his hand and laughed. "It's just for entertainment, why take it seriously?"

“That won’t do.” Gu Zhao shook his head, then looked at Daoist Hai Zhao, “I’ve borrowed your position, so I naturally have a reason to do so.”

Master Hai Zhao raised an eyebrow, showing interest instead. "What would you like to give me, young friend?"

"I'm offering you both a special opportunity."

As soon as Gu Zhao finished speaking, he pointed his finger, and two lightning seeds instantly entered the two people's sea of ​​consciousness.

Master Yun Chang and Master Hai Zhao felt a jolt in their souls and then "saw" a seed flashing with purple-gold lightning suddenly appear deep within their minds.

The next moment, the seed suddenly unleashed endless lightning, not only filling his sea of ​​consciousness but also flowing downwards along his spiritual perception, rushing into his middle dantian. A surge of his own Qi suddenly appeared under the influence of this lightning, and the two old Taoists immediately understood that this was the innate Qi they had cultivated for decades.

This innate Qi is the true Qi of one's life, which is usually hidden in the Dantian (lower abdomen) or vital energy center, but it was activated by this lightning and then merged into oneself.

The next moment, this innate Qi mixed with the Thunder Seed to cleanse his entire body, simultaneously activating the hundreds of years of cultivation he had painstakingly acquired. His body was like a long-dry pond, beginning to devour the sparse spiritual energy of heaven and earth around him.

A sliver of lightning also entered their consciousness, allowing them to learn about the Five Thunder Token and the Thunder Seed.

At the same time, the two old Taoists also sensed dozens of other similar lightning seeds, each carrying a unique aura, some strong and some weak.

These are the other people who possess the Thunder Seed!

The different auras indicate that they are practicing different innate cultivation techniques!
The different intensities represent the differences in their cultivation levels!
Apart from a clear and pure aura, the owners of other lightning seeds are not in this world!

No, there are three other auras weaker than mine moving in the southeast direction.

Master Yun Chang immediately realized that this must be a Thunder Seed holder that Gu Zhao had recently bestowed upon them, and their destination should be Yangcheng.

Waiting for Gu Zhao to take them to that new paradise!
Master Hai Zhao also understood why only Taoist priests could go to that new grotto-heaven.

Only Taoists who have achieved success in their cultivation possess this innate Qi, which allows them to gain the approval of the Thunder Seed and qualify them to eliminate evil, accumulate merit, and accelerate their cultivation.

The two old Taoist priests also sensed similar auras among the dozens of lightning seed holders, indicating that they were from the same sect.

The next moment, several divine senses transmitted across realms through the connection of the Thunder Seed.

"Another fellow Daoist from the Dragon Gate Sect. Such profound initial cultivation! I am Yi Hong from the White Cloud Temple. Senior Brother, where is your immortal mountain? And how should I address you?"

"Jing Hong from Longmen Cave greets fellow Daoist."

"Haha, finally some fellow Daoists from the Qingwei Sect have arrived. Gao Yue from Zhenwu Mountain greets fellow Daoist."

"Qingwei and Shenxiao are one family. Chongxuan from the Shenxiao Sect of Feiyun Mountain greets Senior Brother."

Master Yun Chang and Master Hai Zhao responded one after another, only to realize that only a few people had shown extraordinary abilities in the modern world, and the main force was still in the other world trying to exorcise demons!
It was only after the old Taoist priests gave a general explanation that the two learned more details, including the demons and monsters of the other world, and the Great Luo Palace built by Gu Zhao.

Having received enough information and completed their physical cleansing, the two old Taoists finally opened their eyes.

A gentle breeze swirled around Master Yun Chang of the Longmen Sect, and then wisps of visible cloud gathered, making him appear like a celestial being.

Master Hai Zhao of the Qingwei School was quite ordinary; his eyes still glowed with purple light and sparks flew from the void.

Of course, this scene was quite ordinary for Gu Zhao, but it was terrifying for the two young Taoist priests in their twenties.

They witnessed their master suddenly close his eyes, and then they felt that the air around them was much fresher. Only the young man who had just said he would give a gift sat back down.

Just as they were wondering what was happening, the two grandmasters opened their eyes.

However, the scene when they opened their eyes was a bit frightening.

Riding the wind and clouds?

Controlling lightning?

Have our grandmasters and the others become immortals?
