Secret Buyer

Chapter 569 - 348: Guang Chengzi, Greets Master!_3

The forces of two entities capable of tearing apart an entire province or annihilating a sea of stars collided—then mutually canceled each other as if nothing had happened.

Only the collapsed void bore witness to it all.

But even the void quickly healed.

After casting one last glance at the ’reflection’ that instilled a sense of irritation and anger in him, Zhang Fusheng snorted coldly,

then, without looking back, walked toward the main hall of the true Eight Sceneries Palace behind the Now Gate.

The ’reflection’ also snorted coldly and walked toward the main hall of the Divine Realm Eight Sceneries Palace, neither side seeing the other.

Only....

"Is this the Eight Sceneries Palace?"

Zhang Fusheng murmured to himself, surveying the true ’Eight Sceneries Palace,’ seemingly the same as everything he had seen before,

The same meditation mat, the same empty hall—except for the white jade wall behind the mat.

On the white jade wall here, there was no circular hole, nor a wisp of the innate Taiyin Qi he had obtained from Black Eye.

Zhang Fusheng suspiciously glanced around while holding the Jade Ruyi of Three Precious Treasures, attempting to sit on the meditation mat, the same ’elevating feeling,’

the same sensation of sitting infinitely high—not, no.

Higher, infinitely higher than when sitting on the mat in the fake Eight Sceneries Palace of his Divine Realm.

Zhang Fusheng silently felt his current state,

Infinitely high, as if overlooking everything, higher than time, history...

Even higher than when he was briefly raised to above the river of time by upstream beings, much, much higher!

Even the Jade Ruyi of Three Precious Treasures, which he couldn’t activate before,

seemed... to allow a slight activation?

Zhang Fusheng attempted to manifest the [Fuli Dharma Body], the Primordial Cloud becoming more turbulent and heavier than ever,

His body shrouded in shadows, layered upon numerous universes, even the thirty-six colored lights behind him transformed into seventy-two colors!!

The key, was cause and effect.

Unlike the feeling of sitting in the illusionary Eight Sceneries Palace, sitting here, sitting on the true mat,

he felt as if enveloped by countless causes and effects, as if becoming the center of them!

In awe,

Zhang Fusheng suddenly felt something, lifting his head to look at the Taoist Palace’s closed, slightly open gate.

He murmured to himself:

"Outside the illusionary Eight Sceneries Palace is my Divine Realm."

"So outside this door, this true ’Eight Sceneries Palace’, what is it?"

Zhang Fusheng tried to gaze into the Jade Void Cause and Effect hidden in his left eye,

Through the Jade Void Cause and Effect, he could see the Jade Void Palace, could see the golden bell,

And the scene through the slit beyond the golden bell—a quiet chamber.

The quiet chamber in the back hall with desks and Supreme Treasures.

But what was different was,

The quiet chamber still had the Xuanhuang Tower and Cyan Wave Sword, but the Jade Ruyi of Three Precious Treasures was missing.

Zhang Fusheng’s heart stirred, contemplating rising to walk to the quiet chamber in the back hall, while also gazing through the Jade Void Cause and Effect at the Jade Void Palace,

Wanting to see if his form would appear in the Jade Void Palace.

But at that moment.

Through the Jade Void Cause and Effect, Zhang Fusheng saw a figure appear beside the golden bell, before the gate of the Jade Void Palace.

His heart sank—Chairman!

There was no time to ponder, no time to investigate.

Zhang Fusheng watched as the chairman extended a hand, placing it on the gate of the Jade Void Palace, gently pushing.

Yet.....

There was no response from the back hall.

Instead, it was the main gate in front of him that emitted a strange sound and slowly began to open.

.........

"Jade Void Palace...."

The Daoist stood before the gate of the Jade Void Palace, caressing the golden bell, caressing the gate of the Jade Void Palace,

Suppressing the agitation, his gaze followed the crack of the door, peering at the scenery within

The Daoist paused.

Initially reflecting was a quiet chamber, bearing Supreme Treasures left by the Master and two Senior Uncles,

But now, again looking inside, it turned gloomy and unclear, nothing was visible.

Only...

A faint light seemed to glow.

Seventy-two colored light.

"What happened?"

The Daoist muttered, his face changing, pushing forcefully out of instinct.

’Squeak～’

The gate of the Jade Void Palace, previously unmovable, surprisingly opened as if destined by providence!

The gate slowly swung open to both sides with an ancient rumbling sound, and the gloom before his eyes dissipated,

Replaced by what was once faint light—now grown bright!

He squinted his eyes, instinctively looking,

Behold, in the Jade Void Palace, at the main seat, sat a blurred, indistinct figure,

The figure engulfed in shadows, as if anchored in infinite universes, its silhouette adorned by seventy-two colored lights, accompanied by endless Primordial Clouds,

It merely sat there,

Yet as the Daoist gazed, it seemed as though witnessing the ’origin’ where infinite Cause and Effects converge!

It seemed,

Sitting there was Cause and Effect itself.

The Cause of All Results, the true beginning, the genuine [origin]!

The Daoist stood there, stunned, rubbing his eyes, looking again, the seated one seemingly raised its eyes, and the object held between knees glowed—

It was the Jade Ruyi.

It was the Jade Ruyi of Three Precious Treasures!!

Silence, silence.

In the silence,

The Daoist’s voice, hoarse, fell to make a bow:

"Guang Chengzi, greets Master!"

His voice carried a tearful tone.

.........

Illusionary Eight Sceneries Palace.

Front Hall.

’Zhang Fusheng’ sat there, just like the Zhang Fusheng seated in the Jade Void Palace.

When Guang Chengzi entered the Jade Void Palace,

The ’Zhang Fusheng’ seated in the Eight Sceneries Palace suddenly tilted his head.

He lightly tapped the void.

Outside the Eight Sceneries Palace, shadows appeared one after another, and the shadows all entered the Taoist Palace.

Thus.

At the same instant Guang Chengzi performed his salute.

Occupying seats in High Heaven were Chen Nuanyu, the Buddha Son, Miss Ming Yue, Li Jing... all performing their salute, chanting:

"Praise, Infinite Celestial Venerate!"

’Zhang Fusheng’ raised his head, hoarsely whispered:

"No need for such courtesy."

As Zhang Fusheng in the Jade Void Palace raised his head, gazing anxiously at the saluting Guang Chengzi, hoarsely whispered:

"No need for such courtesy."
