Controlling the Five Thunders and the Two Worlds

“Too fast… too fast…”

After a good night's rest at the Daluo Palace, Gu Zhao returned to Blue Star to work without stopping.

During the month or so that he was repairing the Five Thunder Dragon Imprisoning Formation, the old Taoists traveled around doing chivalrous deeds. Although they did not find any new demonic cultivators, their efforts in eliminating evil and subduing demons allowed Gu Zhao to condense eight more thunder seeds.

When Gu Zhao arrived at the Taoist Research Institute, he saw Master Qingye meditating and cultivating in the pavilion.

"It's rare for you to be back for a few days, so you should get some rest, Uncle-Master," Gu Zhao said.

"Once we destroy that Great Sun Demon Ancestor, we'll have plenty of time to rest." Daoist Qingye opened his eyes. "It's not time for me to go back yet. What brings you here, Sect Leader?"

"I've collected a few more lightning seeds. I'll bring a few more people back with me." Gu Zhao sighed.

Master Qingye laughed and said, "Have almost all the people in the country been taken away?"

"That's not necessarily the case," Gu Zhao said with a smile. "Our Taoist sect has a deep foundation, and there are quite a few Taoists who have cultivated internal energy. It shouldn't be a problem to hold on for another two or three years."

Master Qingye got up and poured two cups of tea for Gu Zhao and himself. "Don't forget there's also a Demon Ancestor with the Heavenly Gang Demon Array. As long as we get through this calamity, the gains will be substantial."

Gu Zhao thought about the list provided to him by the system and nodded, "That's right."

"However, after slaying the Demon Ancestor, the sect leader should have ten thousand years of cultivation by now, right?" Daoist Qingye asked. "At that time, we can take the people of Blue Star to another world. With abundant spiritual energy, it will be much easier for them to cultivate inner true qi."

“If the environment is better, one’s own talent and state of mind cannot be guaranteed,” Gu Zhao said.

The spiritual energy on Earth is scarce. A Taoist who can cultivate inner energy in such an environment must be a person who sincerely seeks the Tao, has exceptional talent, and has outstanding character. Therefore, all the true Taoists that Gu Zhao has seen so far are qualified to bear the Thunder Seed.

But it's different in another world. In an environment full of spiritual energy, even if someone is of poor character or has a frivolous mind, as long as they have enough talent, they can still achieve success in cultivation.

The thunder seeds condensed by the Five Thunder Tokens are not only bestowed upon Taoists on Earth. Disciples of the Great Luo Palace who cultivate Taoist techniques in other worlds are also qualified to receive the thunder seeds.

However, to date, apart from a few Taoists in the Great Luo Palace who have achieved five hundred years of cultivation, the proportion of other disciples who can make the thunder seeds around the Five Thunder Tokens resonate is less than 10%.

Human nature is universal. If Gu Zhao were to take a large number of people from Blue Star to another world, even if those people were able to cultivate successfully, they might not be qualified to receive the Thunder Seed.

Even to put it in the worst-case scenario, perhaps someone who has undergone rigorous training on Earth and finally achieved the qualifications to receive the Thunder Seed might lose their composure in the relaxed environment of another world, causing the Thunder Seed to no longer recognize them.

Hearing Gu Zhao's concerns, Daoist Qingye shook his head and said, "Sect Leader, you are overthinking it. The great waves sift out the sand. If those people can be easily changed by their environment, it means they are not suitable to accept the Thunder Seed at all."

Yun Yang, Chang Yi, Yang Shuo, Jing Yi, Xiu Ming, Tong Hui, and even Zhang Mingcheng of the Taiping Dao, they were all very young. They made rapid progress in the other world and their mental state did not seem to be affected.

Tianxia has many Taoist temples and countless Taoists. Many people have begun to cultivate themselves. They may have excellent character and temperament, but due to limited environment and talent, they may never achieve anything in their lifetime.

But if they were placed in another world, perhaps that would be their chance to defy fate. We shouldn't sacrifice a vast amount of hidden talent for the sake of a few weak individuals who might be easily influenced by their environment.

Gu Zhao pondered for a moment, then bowed and accepted the instruction.

Master Qingye truly lives up to his reputation as a senior elder of the Xuanshan Lingbao Sect's Wanshou Chongzhen Palace; his knowledge and insights are exceptional.

"Sect Leader, you flatter me." Daoist Qingye refused the courtesy and offered tea to Gu Zhao. "After all, it was difficult to condense the Thunder Seed before, and we dared not expose ourselves in the other world. It is only natural for the Sect Leader to have such thoughts." "Indeed." Gu Zhao nodded. Back then, it took them a lot of effort to condense a Thunder Seed. Daoist Yansong and I went through a lot of hardship to condense a Thunder Seed and then sought help from Daoist Yihong.

With dozens of Taoist priests providing baleful energy in a snowballing fashion, Gu Zhao's cultivation not only advanced by leaps and bounds, but his speed in condensing lightning seeds also increased dramatically.

Counting the numbers, once he sends out the eight lightning seeds from his sea of ​​consciousness, he will have one hundred and eight Taoists he brought from Blue Star to the other world.

The 108 Heavenly Spirits and Earthly Fiends?

No, this is just a transitional number; there will be more later!

As Master Qingye said, once the Great Luo Palace has slain the Demon Ancestor and there is no longer any survival crisis in the other world, then large numbers of people from Blue Star can be brought to the other world, and people from the other world can be brought to Blue Star.

Scientists within the system who know the truth must have long been filled with curiosity about the other world.

It's likely that Zhuo Qingyan, Li Qingshuang, Bai Ke, and Xiu Niang would also be interested in the rich entertainment life on Blue Star.

Gu Zhao laughed and stood up, saying, "Uncle-Master, please continue your cultivation. I'm going to recruit some people."

“No rush, no rush,” Master Qingye said. “I just received a new message from the Taoist Office yesterday, saying that the lunar base is basically completed and we need to send another batch of people and resources up there to replace some people coming down.”

My cultivation is insufficient; although I can send the person up, it will take a long time and the journey won't be comfortable. Since the sect leader is back, I'll take him there as well.

Gu Zhao waved his hand, "This is a small matter, leave it to me."

As he spoke, Gu Zhao arrived at the entrance of the Taoist Research Institute and knocked on the door of the security room. "Captain Li?"

"Present!" The security captain stood at attention and saluted.

"Ask Yandu when the personnel and supplies needed for this lunar mission will be ready. Let me know when they are, and I'll go to Yandu to make the trip," Gu Zhao said.

"Yes!" The security captain was excited. He knew that Gu Zhao was the core figure of the Taoist Research Institute.

……

Gu Zhao originally planned to recruit people first, but the security captain soon sent Gu Zhao a message saying that the Yandu lunar landing team was doing the final count and preparation work, and could officially set off at 10 am tomorrow.

So Gu Zhao stopped rushing, went home to get his car, and went to the folk music troupe to wait for Xiao Ya and Jiang Shishi to get off work. Then he met Eileen, who was getting off work at the same time as the two women.

"Oh, you're back?" Gu Zhao said with a smile. "How did it go?"

Eileen shook the golden bracelet on her wrist, her face beaming with smiles. "Shishi's call came at just the right time. That old man Raul immediately decided to place the future of the Lawrence family in Tianxia."

When Gu Zhao left last time, he gave Jiang Shishi the Golden Gang Bracelet and the Rejuvenation Wine, promising that she would fulfill her promise as long as the Lawrence family moved their businesses to Tianxia.

"The golden bracelet given to Raul was treated as a family heirloom by the Lawrence family. However, he couldn't keep the Rejuvenating Wine to himself; he shared it with important figures in the family." (End of Chapter)
