Controlling the Five Thunders and the Two Worlds

Chapter 552 The Palace of Absolute Yin, The Kingdom of Absolute Yin

Since Shanzhou was short of people, Gu Zhao temporarily arranged for Ma Huai to stay at the Daluo Temple on Yuntian Cliff in Shanzhou. Then, he took Zhuo Qingyan and Li Qingshuang to continue touring Shanzhou, hoping to recruit a few more star officials.

However, before he encountered a suitable demon, he received a surge of malevolent energy, which condensed into a seed of lightning. At the same time, he also received news from Daoist Jingchun and the others.

They have entered the territory of the Western Gods Kingdom, conquered the Kingdom of Wutou, renamed it the Kingdom of Jueyin Heaven, and established Jueyin Heaven Palace as their state religion.

The first master of the Jueyin Heavenly Palace was naturally Daoist Jingchun.

All the evildoers in the Wutou Divine Cult were killed. Daoist Jingchun helped Daoist Guhe condense several divine prisons and also refined some divine prison ghost generals.

Several sorcerers who cultivated the Northern Yin Fengdu Method, recruited from another world, also joined the Jueyin Heavenly Palace. At the same time, they gathered talented sorcerers and mortals from the former Wutou Kingdom, as well as ghosts and gods who had no or little malevolent energy.

In the "Northern Yin Fengdu Method", many methods are suitable for ghosts and spirits to cultivate. For example, Zhuo Qingyan cultivates one of them, the "Northern Yin Seven True Soul Refining Method".

In addition, there are also powerful methods such as "Fengdu Ghost-Slaying Manual", "Fengdu General Record Secret Method", and "Fengdu Examination and Summoning Method". There are also many other beginner-level methods such as "Five Ghosts Secret Method", "Earth Spirit Marshal Secret Method", and "Dongping Exorcism Method".

It can be said that the Fengyue Sect's scriptures are sufficient to support the establishment of the Jueyin Heavenly Palace's complete lineage, from the outer sect to the core, and from the lower levels to ascension.

"Everything went smoothly."

Master Jingchun transmitted his voice and said, "The most powerful person in the Wutou Kingdom is the Wutou King. He died in the Central Plains. After we arrived in the Wutou Kingdom, the most powerful person in the Wutou Divine Sect is only a vice sect leader with a thousand years of cultivation."

"Not only that, at that time, the third leader of the Three Saints Sect, the Wine Saint, was wreaking havoc in the Kingdom of Wutou, but we drove him back." Master Gao Yue chuckled, "He boasted that he would make sure that the Absolute Yin Heavenly Palace would not exist for more than a month."

Master Xuxing laughed and said, "So we have decided that our next step is to destroy the Three Saints Sect and make the Jueyin Heaven Kingdom fight a war to establish its nation."

Gu Zhao understood, "I thought you were going to fight the Enchantment Cult first."

Master Yanqi chuckled and said, "A group of female ghosts who absorb yang energy to replenish yin energy are really no threat."

The Taoist school is also an expert in the dual cultivation of Yin and Yang and the art of sexual intercourse. The "Xuan Nu Jing", "Su Nu Jing", "Dong Zhen Huang Lu", "Shang Qing Tai Gao", and even the "Zi Yang Wu Zhen Pian" and "Zhong Lü Chuan Dao Ji" of the Northern and Southern schools of internal alchemy all contain relevant discussions. However, the focus of each school is different and the secret methods they transmit also differ.

The "Dongzhen Huanglu" that Gu Zhao learned was a secret technique passed down for a thousand years by the Celestial Master's Mansion. It was a first-class dual cultivation method. In terms of its core essence and purpose, it was many levels higher than the Enchantment Sect.

What Daoist Yanqi didn't say was that Gu Zhao was actually the most suitable person to deal with the Enchantment Sect. With his mastery of dual cultivation, he didn't even need to make physical contact; just exchanging souls would be enough to rout the enemy.

However, Daoist Yanqi would never say such a thing. It was just a mere Enchanting Cult Leader, and Gu Zhao didn't need to take action. He just wondered if there were any beautiful female ghosts in the many Western divine kingdoms who had cultivated for ten thousand years and practiced dual cultivation methods...

"Achoo!" Gu Zhao sneezed, and Zhuo Qingyan and Li Qingshuang both looked at Gu Zhao.

At their level of cultivation, while they might not be immune to all poisons, they were at least immune to all diseases. For Gu Zhao to sneeze, it was definitely because someone was sensing something and gossiping about him behind his back. "Many people talk about me behind my back, but I don't sense any malice," Gu Zhao shook his head and thought for a moment. "Maybe it's Chang Yi and Zhan Qing envying me behind my back again."

Last time, the young Taoist priest Xiu Ming was accompanied by a group of women from the Daluo Palace who were all part of Gu Zhao's harem. As a result, Gu Zhao sent them to the modern world to rest for ten days. From then on, Gu Zhao concluded that these young Taoists were filled with envy and jealousy towards him.

Not only does he have women on Earth, but he also has a harem in another world. He's a role model for us all!
Li Qingshuang glanced at Gu Zhao, then thought for a moment and said, "How about I introduce a few of my sisters to Changyi and Yang Shuo?"

Mount Bailing is inhabited by a group of bird spirits. Li Qingshuang herself is a bluebird spirit, while Bai Fei's true form is a lark. On the day Bai Fei went to Mount Hongguang to celebrate her birthday, there were also Yun Qian, a purple cloud crane spirit, and Yan Yan, a red-eyed sparrow spirit. They were all beauties of all ages.

Gu Zhao nodded, not minding at all. "The Daluo Palace and Bailing Mountain are located on the north and south banks of the Wanling River, respectively. Several of my senior uncles are also traveling in the north bank. We will all get to know each other in the future. But shouldn't they be looking for people whose souls are in harmony with their own?"

“It’s not easy to find someone with whom you can have a perfect soul connection.” Li Qingshuang shook her head. “In fact, most demons and ghosts never find someone with whom they can have a perfect soul connection in their entire lives.”

Moreover, even if they can achieve a harmonious connection, the degree of compatibility varies. The embroiderer and Bai Ke are considered to have a very high compatibility, while Wang Yue and Xiao Lan's compatibility is relatively low, which is why their cultivation speed is not fast.

At this point, Li Qingshuang looked at Gu Zhao and said, "Even if the embroiderer and Xiaobai are in perfect harmony, their speed can't keep up with Qingyan and me cultivating the 'Dongzhen Huanglu' with you. The dual cultivation method of the Daluo Palace is truly amazing."

Gu Zhao smiled smugly, “Dual cultivation is simply Yin and Yang. The Dao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, and this two is Yin and Yang. All things carry Yin and embrace Yang, and achieve harmony through the interaction of Qi. It is about Yin and Yang complementing each other.”

As the saying goes, "isolated yang cannot grow, isolated yin cannot be born." Even if the Pure Yang Sect cultivates pure yang, or the Northern Yin Fengdu Dharma cultivates pure yin, in the end, yang will give rise to yin, and yin will give rise to yang.

Those methods of absorbing yin to replenish yang and absorbing yang to replenish yin are not only superficial but also chaotic. They've gone down the wrong path from the start. They might cultivate to a high level of Taoist power, but achieving Taoist perfection and ascending to immortality is out of the question.

Li Qingshuang was speechless. "Only you, always talking about ascension, ascension. Do you know how difficult it is to ascend?"

In this world, ghosts and gods are born with flaws. Although they can achieve longevity, they have no hope of ascending to immortality. Some monsters who can inherit bloodlines have the hope of ascending, but it is extremely difficult for them to truly ascend.

Only a great demon who has attained perfect cultivation and spiritual power can sense the call of the spirit world.

Take, for example, the Celestial Fox Ancestor of Qingqiu Mountain. When the Six-Headed Divine Lord came to her door, she was not yet at the peak of her cultivation. After being seriously injured and poisoned, she could forget about it.

If Gu Zhao hadn't lent her the inner core pearl of the Six-Headed Divine Lord to remove the poison, she would have only been able to endure the illness for a few more days, paving the way for Bai Qianzhu, before she could have died.

It can be said that Gu Zhao not only saved her life, but also helped her achieve enlightenment.

That's why Qingqiu Mountain cooperated so well with Daluo Palace, not only opening up the road from the Southern Frontier to the Central Plains, but also providing manpower and resources, and even cooperating with the people of Daluo Palace to travel in the Southern Frontier.
