Controlling the Five Thunders and the Two Worlds

The old Taoist priests continued their journey outside, while Gu Zhao continued to reinforce the protective array of the Great Luo Palace.

The Five Thunder Dragon Imprisoning Formation was built using the Shangqing Heavenly Heart Orthodox Method as its framework and the Shenxiao Jade Pivot Five Thunder Slaying and Detection Method as its flesh and blood.

Now, as time goes by, the number of books in the Great Luo Palace has increased, and the legacy of the old Taoists has also increased. In fact, the mountain-protecting formation can already be updated and replaced.

However, firstly, the time since everyone transmigrated was still relatively short; secondly, the power of the Five Thunder Dragon Imprisonment Formation was more than sufficient; and thirdly, everyone was short on time, so the update of the mountain-protecting formation was delayed.

However, after the battle at the New Year's Grand Ceremony, Gu Zhao also began to take this matter seriously.

In that battle, the Five Thunder Dragon Imprisoning Formation was barely sufficient. With the protection of everyone, it was not broken and provided spiritual power support for Gu Zhao's thunder magic.

But that's about it. At least when facing experts with six or seven thousand years of cultivation, the spiritual energy storage and attack output of the mountain-protecting formation are somewhat insufficient, let alone against even more powerful experts.

If the Demon Ancestor were to arrive in person, or if he were to bring the Heavenly Gang Demon Formation, the Five Thunder Dragon Imprisoning Formation would be absolutely unable to withstand it.

What Gu Zhao needs to do now is to continue to strengthen the mountain-protecting formation, at least to expand the range of the formation's influence on the earth's spiritual energy to a radius of ten thousand miles, so that it can withstand the attack of an expert with ten thousand years of cultivation.

Just do it!

Gu Zhao calmed down and began to repair the mountain-protecting array.

First, establish the foundation of the formation, using the principles of Tai Chi to integrate the Quanzhen and Zhengyi schools of Taoism, with the Quanzhen school as the core and the Zhengyi school as the exterior.

Gu Zhao refined 3,650 external pills and injected them into the earth veins within a radius of 10,000 li. At the same time, he also injected 129,600 sandalwood talismans. Using the method of internal alchemy as the fundamental principle, Yin and Yang flowed and Kan and Li were harmonized, forming a long river of earth veins.

All the external alchemy and talisman wood flow in the earth's veins, not in a fixed position, and are connected by spiritual energy, making them extremely difficult to destroy. Without destroying this earth's veins, the new protective mountain formation of the Great Luo Palace cannot be broken.

After the protective mountain formation expanded the earth's spiritual energy to a radius of tens of thousands of miles, its spiritual energy became so rich and profound that even if the Xuanwei Divine Sect and the Spirit Court joined forces to attack, Gu Zhao was confident that he could withstand it.

Yin and Yang are the inner essence, while the Five Elements are the outer essence.

The mountain-protecting formation's offensive tactics were based on various schools of thunder magic, combined with other attack methods by Gu Zhao.

The Celestial Master's Mansion, the Heavenly Heart Sect, the Divine Firmament Sect, the Pure Subtle Sect, and the Western River Sect—each sect's thunder magic has its own strengths, whether it be immense power, unpredictable and mysterious, or unstoppable. All forms of thunder, both tangible and intangible, have been recorded.

At the same time, the Fire Bell Great Mantra of the Shangqing School, the Tianpeng Divine Mantra of the Beidi School, the Golden Light Divine Mantra of the Tianshi Mansion, the Five Elements Ruyi of the Lingbao School, and the Formless and Imageless of the Wenshi School were all integrated into it and transformed into one of the Five Elements.

The moment the mountain-protecting formation was completed, Gu Zhao waved his hand and sent the newly forged sword, seal, bell, ruyi scepter, and ruler into the earth's vein river, each becoming one of the five elements, to be nurtured by the formation.

Gu Zhao used almost all his skills on the new protective formation, "I don't believe he can break the formation again!"

This formation connects Yin and Yang within and governs the Five Elements without. Even if the Demon Ancestor were to use magic to stir up the four elements of heaven and earth, he would not be able to disrupt the Yin and Yang and the Five Elements of the world surrounding the Great Luo Palace, and thus would be unable to reopen the earth, water, wind, and fire.

……

It took Gu Zhao forty-nine days to rebuild the array of the Daluo Palace. Although the new mountain-protecting array was almost completely different from the original one, Gu Zhao did not intend to change its name.

The Five Thunders remain unchanged; this time, it can truly imprison the dragon, so naturally it is still the Five Thunders Dragon Imprisoning Formation!
At the same time, this protective mountain formation can perfectly match the formation set up by the old Taoist priests.

The Five Thunder Dragon Imprisoning Formation and the Four Symbols Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Formation set up by the old Taoists were incompatible, causing the two formations to operate independently. Although they still won, they also exposed their weaknesses.

Gu Zhao made special improvements this time, and with the addition of the newly advanced Taoist, everyone can set up the Five Elements Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Formation, integrating the flow of the five elements into the formation. The two formations are combined into one, increasing their power.

"Done!" Gu Zhao emerged from the earth's veins and drove the last talisman wood into the ground.

"Rumble--"

The sound only resounded in Gu Zhao's sea of ​​consciousness, and the entire world seemed to change, with Mount Cuiluo as the center and the surrounding area of ​​tens of thousands of miles around it.

The terrain is smoother, the air is fresher, the plants are greener, and the chirping of insects is more cheerful.

Although it is not a world unto itself, Cuiluo Mountain gives people a feeling of being secluded and independent from the world, making the whole mountain more ethereal and otherworldly.

Incense smoke wafted through the mountains and temples, and all the ordinary people who offered incense and worshipped the gods felt their souls become clearer.

Affected by the formation, the two disciples of the Great Luo Palace who were on the verge of breaking through suddenly trembled and broke through five hundred years of cultivation. One was covered in golden light and the other was surrounded by purple lightning, slowly floating in mid-air.

"Wow!"

"I've seen a real person!"

"Blessings and Immeasurable Heavenly Lord!"

The ordinary people were deeply moved and bowed down in worship.

The two Taoist priests returned the greeting with clasped hands, then gracefully landed back in the backyard. Looking at Gu Zhao, who had suddenly appeared beside them, they hurriedly bowed respectfully, "Greetings, Sect Leader!"

"Not bad." Gu Zhao nodded, and the Daluo Palace gained two more combat-ready members.

A group of people around them looked at the two with envy. Although there was admiration in their eyes, there was more expectation in their eyes. They hoped that one day they could also reach such a level.

In the outside world, regardless of which faction, breaking through five hundred years of cultivation is a huge event. In a small place, it would be the leader of a sect, and in a large faction, it would be a powerful elder, a truly top-notch expert.

Only within the Great Luo Palace, in just a few years, not only have the elders of the old place frequently broken through, and the guardian star officials have profound cultivation, but even the newly accepted mage disciples have many who have broken through their realms.

This level of skill has become worthless!
"The mountain-protecting formation is complete?" Zhuo Qingyan appeared beside Gu Zhao.

The Five Thunder Dragon Imprisoning Formation was completed by Zhuo Qingyan in cooperation with Gu Zhao. Although she was not very skilled, she was actually very talented and had her own unique understanding of formations.

After Gu Zhao completed the mountain-protecting formation, she sensed the difference within it.

"It's done." Gu Zhao smiled and put his arm around Zhuo Qingyan's slender waist. "I'm so tired, come and rest with me."

Zhuo Qingyan chuckled and tapped Gu Zhao's shoulder. "It's still early. Let's talk about it tonight. Tell me about the setup of this grand formation first."

Upon learning that the Demon Ancestor might launch a full-scale attack on the Great Luo Palace, Zhuo Qingyan dared not be negligent. If another great battle were to break out, Gu Zhao, as the top expert of the Great Luo Palace, would definitely have to fight with all his might, while she herself would have to operate the great formation.

Therefore, Zhuo Qingyan immediately asked Gu Zhao to explain the formation setup to her so that she could familiarize herself with it.

Gu Zhao knew what Zhuo Qingyan was thinking, so he pulled her into the earth's veins, pointed out the key points of the mountain-protecting formation one by one, and finally handed her the token to operate the formation.

"It's getting late, go back inside and sleep!" (End of Chapter)
