Chapter 497: Chapter 328: Trading the Northern Emperor, Westward Seizing the Scriptures!

The Northern Emperor gazed at Li Xiuyuan and continued:

"If I were to prove my path, this position of [Emperor Ziwei of the North Pole] could be yours—it is not impossible."

"In the earliest history of time, when you were still the Great True Monarch of Tianpeng, the leader of the Four Saints of the North Pole, it was my intention for you to inherit the seat of the Northern Emperor."

Li Xiuyuan said nothing, silently bowing outside the Taiji Hall.

.........

Other Shore Mountain.

Divine Realm, within the Eight Sceneries Palace.

Zhang Fusheng stood before the Gate of the Past, quietly observing everything.

"Tianpeng... so it was Zhu Bajie."

"He hates Ling Mountain? That’s understandable."

Zhang Fusheng thought of the twenty-four boxes of meat, containing both Golden Cicada’s and the Pure Altar Messenger’s flesh.

So, what happened to the Sutra Takers of that year?

Zhang Fusheng did not know, but he realized that he would soon understand, by asking Li Xiuyuan in time.

"Those twenty-four boxes of meat were meant for the Northern Emperor... If the Pure Altar Messenger truly harbors resentment, why would he only resent Ling Mountain?"

Speaking to himself, Zhang Fusheng took a deep breath, connected with the Contract, and comprehended its Secret Techniques and two Great Divine Techniques.

The cut-it-off path naturally needs no mention, allowing one to sever the World Venerate, letting oneself hold authority over the Other Shore World, on Other Shore Mountain,

But my true self?

I can re-enter the turbulent world, visit the forty-nine provinces, go to the capital!

The only trouble is, how to make my true self escape all the gazes, leave the spotlight?

After all, the world knows Blessed Life Buddha, and it’s likely that the name Blessed Infinite Celestial Venerate will soon spread all over.

"Coming early is not as good as coming at the right time..."

With a smile blossoming on his face, Zhang Fusheng knew that [All Things are Void] naturally can hide one’s presence, for it can cut off even celestial secrets, fading existence itself,

But this Cause and Effect Marvelous Technique is too consuming—but.

Zhang Fusheng’s gaze settled on two other light clusters.

Great Divine Technique, Move Stars and Exchange Battles, Fly and Leave Traces.

Move Stars and Exchange Battles, one of the Thirty-Six Great Divine Techniques of Tiangang,

Can alter star formations, can conceal or change celestial secrets, so the saying goes, when Heaven stirs up a killing machine, stars can be shifted, residences changed,

Celestial secrets are like heavenly intentions, when the Saint enlightens the mind, it becomes a marvelous technique of celestial secrets, a Great Technique of life and death!

"Move Stars and Exchange Battles, easily changes celestial secrets, when combined with Fly and Leave Traces..."

Zhang Fusheng laughed quietly, his gaze falling on the light cluster of Fly and Leave Traces.

Fly and Leave Traces, also one of the Thirty-Six Great Divine Techniques of Tiangang,

Can let one travel within the heavens and earth, roam within the Four Seas, leaving only a single trace,

Where the true self resides, is unknowable, untraceable, unseen, exists in the world yet unseen by the world.

These two Great Divine Techniques, combined with the cut-it-off path method, and some wondrous application of [All Things are Void]...

"Thus."

"I sever the World Venerate body within the sword path, so my true self can completely rely on two Great Divine Techniques, hidden within the mortal world, escaping all attention!"

Zhang Fusheng was bright-eyed and full of spirit,

At that time, he could completely leave the Other Shore World with another identity without being discovered by powerful beings or the Northern Emperor.

Can go to the forty-nine provinces, and even go to the capital!

Quietly calculating, Zhang Fusheng was thoughtful:

"The last cause and effect of my junior apprentice sister points to the capital... She went to the capital, within the capital."

"Unfortunately, the capital is shrouded in fog, even with my mastery of cause and effect, I cannot see more things clearly."

Zhang Fusheng breathed out, lowering his eyelids.

The capital, gathering ground for powerful beings of the Federation, where the headquarters of the Nine Departments are, meaning there are at least nine great directors within the capital, nine personalities of Great Divine Techniques level!

Going there will surely be very dangerous.

But the rewards will also be great...

"Playing chess with the Northern Emperor."

Zhang Fusheng understood that to win against the Northern Emperor, it is impossible to sit idle on Other Shore Mountain,

The opponent will eventually discover the clue, at that time...

"I really must make a trip to the capital, not only to find Lin Dongxi, let her return to Ling Mountain, completing the three great Buddhas of Ling Mountain."

"There is also Six Paths of Reincarnation in the capital, there are Great Divine Power Users... High Heaven Association should thrive within the capital."

Zhang Fusheng spoke to himself, gaze blazing, thoughts simultaneously landing on three light clusters.

Thus, the cut-it-off path harmonized with himself,

Move Stars and Exchange Battles, Fly and Leave Traces these two Great Divine Techniques and the corresponding twenty-six thousand years had quietly harmonized with himself.

He did not want to delay for a moment.

"Above High Heaven... missing two persons."

Zhang Fusheng sighed softly, Yuan Feidao and Yuan Tiandao had both fallen, one was occupied with Essence, Qi, and Spirit by the Northern Emperor, another was refined into an elixir.

The sixth and ninth seats, thus vacated.

"And that guy Kong Shentong, though bodily within High Heaven, his mind is not, my Spiritual Sense has warned multiple times... That old guy is calculating me."

Zhang Fusheng spoke to himself, quietly digesting near twenty-six thousand years of time, his gaze deepening ever so gradually.

.........

Yin Chang’an.

The whole of Chang’an felt like a true ancient, bustling city, packed with people and vehicles.

Jiang Feiniao had now fled outside Chang’an City, squatting in the mud and sand, holding up a ritual array.

She was still performing a ritual, intending to summon some terrifying life from the academy’s main hall.

"Hear my words, heed my words..."

Jiang Feiniao repeated over and over.

The ritual array was glowing.

At the same time, within Taiji Hall.

The Northern Emperor clad in the Emperor’s Robe of Ziwei was sitting alone, the vast hall empty, the Northern Emperor with closed eyes, contemplating something unknown.

"Blessed Infinite Celestial Venerate..."

"Taiqing..."

The Northern Emperor muttered to himself, suddenly rifling through the container’s body, eventually extracting a token.

"What is this?"

The Northern Emperor spoke confusedly to himself, examining the Immortal Tao Rhyme floating within the token, so ordinary, so plain an Immortal Tao Rhyme,

But...

Vaguely, the Northern Emperor sensed the token pointed to somewhere magnificently unimaginable.

And on one side of the token, were engraved the words ’High Heaven’.

"High Heaven... High Heaven Order?"

The Northern Emperor grew even more puzzled.
