Controlling the Five Thunders and the Two Worlds

Chapter 241: The Talks Are Successful, Newcomers Join

The intelligence exchange concluded, mutual support of resources was completed, and the attitudes displayed by both sides were very satisfactory. This meeting can be considered a complete success.

Zheng Hongsheng breathed a sigh of relief. The main task was completed; what remained was the new issue that had arisen last night.

"Breaking news," Zheng Hongsheng said with a smile, "Regarding the Berkeley incident, the other side is already trying to suppress the hype. It seems that the Taoist priest has scared them quite a bit this time; they probably won't be able to sleep well."

Master Mingyu raised an eyebrow, "Can it be suppressed?"

Zheng Hongsheng was taken aback, thinking, "Didn't you think of suppressing it? So you were actually planning to reveal your abilities directly and show off to the general public?"

“As long as the Taoist priests don’t show themselves frequently, most people won’t believe that there are really immortals in this world,” Zheng Hongsheng said cautiously.

Master Mingyu smiled and said, "We are not deliberately showing off in front of others, but simply letting nature take its course. Of course, we also hope that more young people with righteous hearts and talent for cultivation can cultivate the Tao and refine their Qi."

Zheng Hongsheng's mind raced, and he tentatively asked, "As long as one can cultivate inner energy, one is qualified to go there?"

Master Yihong laughed heartily. Although there was still the test of the Five Thunder Token, this matter absolutely could not be revealed. "In any case, being able to cultivate inner energy is always beneficial."

“However, in modern society, it is extremely difficult to cultivate inner energy. Even those with talent need to practice diligently for decades to achieve anything,” said Master Mingyu. “Therefore, one must have a genuine passion for it; it cannot be forced.”

Zheng Hongsheng nodded, indicating that the young man should highlight this passage.

"But we live in a technological society now, where metaphysics is less prominent. If Taoist priests perform miracles in public, it can easily cause a public outcry and lead to a certain degree of social chaos," Zheng Hongsheng cautioned.

"Director Zheng is right," Master Yihong acknowledged.

Master Mingyu nodded, "We'll try our best to be careful."

Zheng Hongsheng breathed a sigh of relief and then said, "We will send people to protect Wang Changyi and his parents, and we will also keep the identities of the Taoist priests a secret, cutting off the claws of those who want to pry into the secrets."

"Furthermore, Mr. Gu, please rest assured that all clues about you have been concealed," Zheng Hongsheng added.

“Alright.” Master Mingyu nodded, about to speak, but then smiled and said, “Changyi, there’s no need.”

Zheng Hongsheng was taken aback upon hearing this, then nodded in understanding.

Clearly, Wang Changyi is also entering a period of strength enhancement. If someone with ulterior motives finds him again, the person who will need protection will no longer be him.

……

After watching Zheng Hongsheng and his group drive away, Gu Zhao led Changyi and his family back to the research institute.

Daoist Yihong and Daoist Mingyu did not report to Gu Zhao, because he had been observing the situation with his divine sense and was fully aware of all the contents of the meeting.

At the end of the meeting, Master Yihong also told Zheng Hongsheng that if he encountered any problems that he could not solve, he could ask them for help.

"The matter is now considered settled," Master Yihong said with a smile.

Master Mingyu nodded, "The other side suppressed the hype, so the impact is smaller than expected."

Changyi took out his phone. "But there are some too."

They received the news around noon yesterday, which was around 9 p.m. on the other side of the ocean. They arrived in Berkeley at 4 a.m. and completed their business trip in about ten minutes.

When they returned to Tianxia, ​​it was already morning on the other side, but it was just past midnight here.

Exhausted, Changyi and his two companions rested for half the night and had breakfast in the morning. It was now close to noon in Tianxia time, while a day had already passed over there. Even though the hype had been suppressed, those with good connections had already moved the video.

[Alien sightings spotted in the US!] [Apocalyptic scene! Aliens actually exist!]

"Aliens? Really?"

"Who is undergoing tribulation in the Flower Season Kingdom? Red, yellow, green, white, and black—the five elements of thunderclouds have all appeared. This is a ninefold thunder tribulation!"

"The whole cloud is black, how did the people upstairs see that it was black?"

"A black of many colors!"

"Is this a foreign movie? A new generation of Thor?"

"Foreigners can't capture this color when shooting lightning; it's clearly our local lightning magic."

"Are the golden figures celestial soldiers and generals? Holy crap, could this be a foreign film made to smear us? The Heavenly Court's Thunder Department invaded the United States, captured ordinary people, and then got defeated by the enemy's superheroes?"

"They dare!"

"What's there to be afraid of? They've made 'Journey to the West' and 'Mulan.' When we were on good terms before, it was just a matter of stereotypes. Now that we're almost at each other's throats, of course we should criticize them."

"Didn't you ever consider... whether what's filmed in this video is real?"

“My girlfriend is at Berklee College of Music, and she says the videos are real, that she saw them with her own eyes.”

Brother, please accept my condolences!

"Haha, this video looks like a promotional video. Also, why is your girlfriend awake at four in the morning?"

"Really! Really! Really! I'll say it again, I'm in Berkeley, this is true, there really are aliens! It's terrifying, I've already booked a flight back home, I'm never staying in this hellhole again!"

Gu Zhao glanced at Chang Yi's phone and asked, "They're not suppressing the hype here?"

Master Mingyu laughed and said, "What's the point of suppressing the hype when there's truth and falsehood, reality and illusion?"

Master Yihong also said, "Besides, we have already expressed our stance, so they naturally won't do anything unnecessary."

Gu Zhao nodded. "I have already instructed Uncle Yansong to have his disciples draw more Vajra Mystic Talismans. This should be the most useful talisman for ordinary people."

Changyi stood to one side, his curiosity churning him, but after being reminded by Daoist Mingyu, he wanted to ask but dared not.

Gu Zhao teased him, "You probably can't go to the United States, but if you still want to study abroad, ask your grandmaster to pull some strings, and you should be able to go to the United States or Australia."

Changyi was speechless. Having witnessed such extraordinary power, how could he still have the heart to study abroad?
He naturally realized that Gu Zhao was teasing him, and when he saw Daoist Mingyu wink at him, he immediately said shamelessly, "I want to stay by your side."

The two old Taoists laughed heartily, and Gu Zhao also pointed a finger at his brow.

A seed of lightning was sent into Changyi's sea of ​​consciousness, and then a bolt of purple-gold lightning struck from top to bottom, activating the innate Qi in his chest and cleansing his entire body.

When Changyi looked up again, two dazzling stars flashed in his eyes.

Gu Zhao raised an eyebrow. "You're not practicing the 'Zhengyi Fawen Jing' and the 'Mengwei Yuelu'?"

Changyi respectfully cupped his hands and said, “Reporting to the sect leader, I cultivate the Zhengyi Fawen Jing, but I do not also cultivate the Mengwei Yuelu, but the Taishang Sidou Xingxiu Dalu.”
