Controlling the Five Thunders and the Two Worlds

"Wang Lingguan?"

"A true spirit descending to earth?"

"Blessings and Immeasurable Heavenly Lord!"

When Gu Zhao conveyed this news to the old Taoists through the Five Thunder Token, their sea of ​​consciousness almost boiled over, with countless voice transmissions surging in like a tide, dense and chaotic.

"The Taoist sect's guardian deity is safe this time!"

"Great Heavenly Spirit Official! May we go and pay our respects?"

"Didn't the sect leader ask about the situation in the upper realm? Is it the same as what we've heard in the legends?"

Although Wang Lingguan is not well-known in modern times, he has always been a top fighter in Taoist legends. After all, as a Taoist protector and a guardian deity, how could he not be a fighter?
“Wang Lingguan is said to be a disciple of Sa Zu. Does Sa Zu exist in the Upper Realm?” an old Taoist priest from the Xihe Sect asked excitedly.

Compared to the Three Pure Ones, Four Emperors, and Five Directional Emperors in Taoist legends, Taoism also has many other deities who were real historical figures. Therefore, many experienced Taoist priests sometimes have doubts or even hidden worries.

"I just asked, and the Four Celestial Masters Zhang, Ge, Sa, and Xu really exist." Gu Zhao reassured them, "The Four Celestial Masters descended to earth in their true spirits and established their own sects and passed down their lineages using their real names."

"Wow--"

"The Eight Immortals of Shangdong also truly exist. The Patriarch Shaoyang Wang was the true spirit of the Eastern Emperor who descended to earth. The Patriarch Chongyang received the teachings from him in a dream. The True Man Sanfeng was the true spirit of the True Martial Emperor who descended to earth."

"Wow--"

"The other seven true men of the North, such as Danyangzi and Changchunzi, the five patriarchs of the South, such as Ziyang Zhenren and Haiqiong Zhenren, as well as the patriarchs of the South such as Tianxin Chuzu and Chonghe Zhenren, were either gods or immortals who descended to earth or received the teachings from gods in their dreams."

"Wow--"

While relaying the news he heard from Wang Lingguan, Gu Zhao also listened to the chorus of exclamations in his mind and learned about the relationship between Wang Lingguan and Sa Shoujian.

Furthermore, Wang Lingguan was indeed a disciple of Sa Zu, but their master-disciple relationship was not on Blue Star, but in another realm.

In that world, the true spirit of Master Sa descended to earth and took Wang Lingguan as his disciple. Wang Lingguan did not disappoint Master Sa's expectations. After ascending to heaven, he continued to make rapid progress and eventually became the Grand Spirit Officer of the Capital Heaven. In terms of combat power, he was even above Master Sa.

The legends about Master Sa and Wang Lingguan in the Taoist scriptures of Blue Star are said to have been passed down and circulated by some unknown deity or spirit who descended to earth or entered dreams to transmit the Dharma. They are not actual events that happened on Blue Star.

"It can be said that as long as it is a tradition passed down from Earth, there must be an ancestor in the Celestial Realm," Gu Zhao said with certainty. "Everyone who goes up there in the future will have a powerful backer."

"Wow--"

Master Jingfeng couldn't help but ask, "What about the Fengyue Sect?"

“The Emperor of Fengdu and the Emperor of Dongyue, you have two emperors standing behind you, your backing is even stronger than mine!” Gu Zhao said.

The Great Emperor of Fengdu is the lord of the underworld, no less powerful than the Heavenly Venerable of Universal Transformation. The Great Emperor of the Eastern Peak is also the head of the Five Great Emperors who guard the earth veins among the various heavens of Taoism, and his difference from the Thunder Ancestor is also limited.

Strictly speaking, Master Jingfeng's backing was indeed stronger than Gu Zhao's.

The old Taoist priests all burst into laughter.

Master Yansong joked, "It's just that you might have to go to the underworld on official business in the future, and we'll all be separated in heaven and on earth, so it will be difficult to get together again." Master Jingfeng rolled his eyes, "With the Thunder Seed here, we can call each other anytime, so there's no sense of distance."

With the blessing of the Thunder Seed and their confidence in their state of mind, none of them doubted their ability to ascend.

The Taoists of the Shenxiao and Qingwei sects were not worried at all. Gu Zhao would become the Thunder God in the future, and they would definitely enter the Thunder Department after their ascension. Puhua Tianzun would be their patriarch, and Gu Zhao would continue to be their superior. They would definitely live a comfortable life.

The other Northern Emperor faction and Sanfeng faction may go to serve under the Northern Purple Emperor, the Quanzhen sect will go to the Eastern Emperor or the Eight Immortals of the Upper Cave to cultivate, and the Three Mountains of Talismans may be subordinate to the Four Heavenly Masters and directly under the Jade Emperor.

“That’s not necessarily true. The Heavenly Realm isn’t that strict. My brother just said that you might all be assigned to the Thunder Department,” Gu Zhao said. “Of course, if the Emperor of Fengdu or the Emperor of Donghua value someone, that would be even better.”

The old Taoists smiled wryly and waved their hands, "We know our own limitations. Our current achievements are all thanks to the help of the Thunder Seed. Otherwise, we might not even have been able to ascend. Even if we did, we would just be ordinary heavenly soldiers. We dare not dream of being valued by the Ancestral Master."

“You don’t need to underestimate yourselves. Although the Daoist sect has countless worlds, ordinary heavenly soldiers don’t need to be genius disciples who have ascended from various worlds,” Gu Zhao said. “Those who ascend to the Daoist sect’s worlds can at least be captains or something.”

Yun Yang joked, "Just like in Tianxia, ​​if a college student joins the army, he'll at least be a second lieutenant, a deputy company commander."

Gu Zhao nodded. "That's roughly the idea."

Everyone then understood.

Come to think of it, myths and legends often involve hundreds of thousands of heavenly soldiers, and ascension is extremely difficult. Those who ascend to heaven must hone their own cultivation and state of mind to perfection before they can draw upon the power of heaven and earth to ascend to the celestial realm.

Such a person would be a reserve talent and backbone force for sustainable development in any organization, similar to a selected graduate or management trainee who has passed the assessment. The idea that he would be sent to fight monkeys as cannon fodder after his supposed ascension is just a joke.

Of course, the old Taoists all relied on the power of the Thunder Seed, so they were inferior to the geniuses who ascended entirely on their own.

But as the saying goes, luck is also part of one's own strength, so any cheat codes obtained through luck naturally count as such.

With the help of the Thunder Seed, the old Taoists can absorb evil energy to replenish themselves. As long as their mental state is right, they can face as many enemies as they want. Their cultivation speed may even be faster than that of ordinary geniuses, and their growth potential may be even higher.

The eyes of all the old Taoist priests lit up!

Traveling through countless worlds, tempering one's heart in the mortal realm, subduing demons and monsters, replenishing oneself, and incidentally expanding the territory of the Daoist sect or clearing away internal unstable factors in various realms.

A win-win situation!
Thinking of this, the old Taoist priests who were traveling around fighting evil and eliminating wickedness became even more invigorated, and felt that they had more energy to walk.

At the same time, with the true spirit of Wang Lingguan descending to earth to protect them, the danger posed by the Great Sun Profound Light Opening Heaven Demon Ancestor in their eyes was greatly reduced. At least it was no longer a life-or-death crisis, but a tribulation that could be overcome, and the gains after overcoming the tribulation would be great.

"It's not advisable to make a big fuss about Wang Lingguan's spirit descending to the mortal realm," Daoist Yihong suggested. "If the Demon Ancestor finds out and makes targeted arrangements, there might be unexpected consequences."

After all, the other party was one of the most powerful demons in the Demon Realm, someone who could stand up to Puhua Tianzun. After learning about the background of the Great Sun Demon Ancestor from Gu Zhao, everyone was overjoyed.

Fortunately, the other party had already been severely injured by Lei Zu and had not fully recovered even after ten thousand years of seclusion. Otherwise, they, a group of small fry who had not yet ascended, would probably not have been able to be crushed by his finger.

“I told my brother that he will stay at the Great Luo Palace for the time being and wait for the Demon Ancestor,” Gu Zhao said.

"Yay!" (End of Chapter)
