Chapter 495: Chapter 328: Trading with the Northern Emperor, Journey West to Seize the Scriptures!

Taking a deep breath, the Northern Emperor gritted his teeth, suppressing various emotions,

and then he spoke in a deep voice:

"Treasures, I am currently bereft of possessions myself, promising, Fellow Daoist may not believe."

"In the end, I can only exchange techniques for things."

Pausing slightly, a glint flashed in his eyes:

"But I don’t know Fellow Daoist’s true form, how am I supposed to know what techniques Fellow Daoist has and doesn’t have?"

Zhang Fusheng’s heart sank, realizing that any mistake could easily expose the truth.

At the level of Daluo’s Marvelous Techniques, he truly doesn’t understand much, at most what he’s heard in the mythologies of his past life,

Of course, also what the head of the Eastern Emperor once said, the technique exclusively mastered by the Northern Emperor.

As his thoughts churned,

Zhang Fusheng calmly spoke:

"Northern Emperor, Fellow Daoist has a technique to sever my binding path, which is indeed marvelous."

The Northern Emperor’s expression changed again, staring at Zhang Fusheng:

"Who exactly are you? You even know this technique?"

Pausing, he seemed to suddenly realize, lightly sighed, and looked up at the Eight Sceneries Palace for a moment:

"Indeed, before the Supreme, there are no secrets..."

"Sever my binding path, exchanging for those things, it is not impossible."

The Northern Emperor agreed, but Zhang Fusheng shook his head:

"Not enough."

The Northern Emperor’s eye twitched:

"Fellow Daoist, do not overdo it, it’s best for both of us to leave some leeway."

Zhang Fusheng merely smiled:

"Under the witness of Taoist Friend Taiqing, it has always been one thing exchanged for another."

"One technique can be exchanged for one thing—there are three things here, Northern Emperor, Fellow Daoist must offer two more Marvelous Techniques."

The Northern Emperor asked in a deep voice:

"What else do you want?"

He thought this fellow was somewhat greedy, while calculating from his unknown secret techniques, which ones could preserve.

Yet amidst the calculations,

the Northern Emperor heard the greedy ’Blessed Infinite Celestial Venerable’ speak with a smile:

"Fellow Daoist may have misunderstood. I am not making excessive demands, but merely following the rules of Taoist Friend Taiqing... How about this."

Blessed Infinite Celestial Venerable, with an air of indifference, said:

"Offer two more techniques, any technique will do—of course, accompanied by the cultivation time of the two techniques, which I shall gift to the juniors, it is indeed nice."

As he spoke, Zhang Fusheng was overwhelmed with unstoppable excitement,

How many years has the Northern Emperor lived?

Incalculable!

Since ancient times, it is but an infinite fraction, knowing that such a character must have experienced countless timelines, countless versions of history!

In the river of time, there are infinite threads, and only the topmost thread represents the present,

while the other threads are the original history before each change.

For example, himself, after knocking on the Gate of the Past thousands of times, in a certain sense, also created thousands of threads, thousands of different timelines, history lines.

Just as Zhang Fusheng was overwhelmed with thoughts,

a look of confusion appeared on the Northern Emperor’s face:

"Cultivation... time?"

At first, he was puzzled, and then truly changed color in astonishment!

A most ancient witness of infinite history, actually showed shock at this moment!

The Northern Emperor spoke dryly:

"Exchanging cultivation time... That thing, ultimately falls into the hands of Taoist Friend Taiqing, does it?"

"No wonder Taoist Friend Taiqing can reflect in the present, no wonder you invite Taoist Friend Taiqing for witnessing.... "

Zhang Fusheng’s heart stirred, it seemed the Northern Emperor also knew of the Contract’s existence.

Oh Contract, what exactly are you?

Amid confusion,

Zhang Fusheng heard the Northern Emperor take a deep breath, continue speaking:

"Fellow Daoist, you and I both know, I cannot hand over too much of my time to you, that would make me lose the meaning of [Perfection]."

Zhang Fusheng’s heart sank.

What??

The Northern Emperor continued:

"Two techniques, even greatly marvelous techniques are fine, but I can offer at most a blink of time."

Zhang Fusheng smiled:

"A blink of time? Fellow Daoist truly has no sincerity..."

The Northern Emperor’s expression darkened:

"One blink of twelve thousand nine hundred years, how, such years, are still not enough for Fellow Daoist Fusheng to gift to juniors?" 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Zhang Fusheng’s smile remained cold, his face unchanged, calmly responded:

"A bit too meager, but I am not deliberately making things difficult for you, Northern Emperor, Fellow Daoist, blink it is then!"

His heart was thumping, how many years??

Twelve thousand nine hundred years!

Two Marvelous Techniques, two blinks, is nearly twenty-six thousand years!!

From the first use of the Contract until now, from ordinary person to the present,

All the consumed time accumulated, Zhang Fusheng has not reached twenty-six thousand years!

This number is too vast for him.

"Since you and I have reached consensus."

Zhang Fusheng spoke softly:

"Why not bring this farce to an early end, inviting Taoist Friend Taiqing to witness?"

The Northern Emperor nodded, said:

"Certainly."

Upon hearing, Zhang Fusheng wasted no more words, lifted his hand towards the sky, and loudly said:

"Taoist Friend Taiqing, please witness today."

Under each gaze, they instinctively looked up with reverence towards the Taoist Palace in the sky,

The Eight Sceneries Palace was extremely profound, fundamentally unclear, but they could see faint chaotic light emanating from within.

This chaotic light was not intense, yet carried an indescribable high essence,

Light and shadow intertwined beneath the Celestial Vault, forming a grand contract, reflecting within the mortal world!

The grand contract was blurred, ordinary people could not spy on its contents, only the Northern Emperor and Zhang Fusheng could comprehend,

What Zhang Fusheng exchanged with twelve platters containing thirty-six Peaches of Immortality, the Emperor’s Robe of Ziwei, and the hanging sword within Taiji Hall,

for the Northern Emperor’s Secret Technique of [Sever My Binding Path],

He also received a [Shift Star Change Constellation] Great Divine Technique along with twelve thousand nine hundred years of cultivation history,

and another [Flight and Spot Trace] Great Divine Technique along with the same cultivation history.
