Chapter 498: Chapter 329: Return to the Homeland, Reunion with Old Friends (1/2)

(Immediate follow-up)

[Year after year, moment after moment, I immerse myself within myriad Dao]

[As for this year, nearly two hundred and sixty thousand years have passed]

Nearly two hundred and sixty thousand years, a blink of an eye, it has already become the past.

Zhang Fusheng is exceedingly tranquil, at this moment quietly seated on the meditation mat, with just a sigh,

The myriad Dao revolving wheel behind him is now emitting grand rays of light, the Great Divine Techniques of "Shift Stars and Change Constellations" and "Flying Transformation"

Have silently engraved upon it.

It is this year, this month, this very moment.

Two Great Divine Techniques, two Minor Achievement level Great Divine Techniques... 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Zhang Fusheng slowly rose from the meditation mat, yawned, and as he opened his eyes, an ocean of Dao and marvelous principles flickered before him,

He carried the myriad Dao revolving wheel, and his steps became extraordinarily heavy, stamping on the Eight Sceneries Palace’s floor tiles, which surprisingly resounded with a rumble!

Step by step, again and again.

Zhang Fusheng walked extremely slowly, extremely steadily, and when he stood at the entrance of the Taoist Palace, he breathed out gently with a sigh and smile on his face.

"Sever myself, foster Dao."

He employed that secret technique of the Northern Emperor, contemplated an unparalleled celestial saber,

The celestial saber precisely stroked along the threads of Cause and Effect, severing them without breaking, like a lotus root breaking but remaining joined—this is the sole flaw in Severing Dao to foster me,

If there exists one deeply skilled in the wisdom of Cause and Effect, with careful insight, could possibly trace to the severed Dao body, discovering the location of one’s true self.

But for Zhang Fusheng, this flaw is not considered a flaw at all.

He himself is indeed a true ’master’ within the Dao of Cause and Effect.

"Go!"

Accompanying Zhang Fusheng’s sharp rebuke, the World-Honored One Buddha detached from his true self—not the kind of detachment as in One Qi Becomes Three Pristine Ones,

The World-Honored One Buddha did not transform into another self of Zhang Fusheng,

But after Severing Me, he entrusted it into Sword Dao, transforming into a Dao body.

A Dao body fully manipulated by the true self, sharing all powers with the true self, yet ironically unrelated to the true self.

If a strong being traces the origins of this Dao body, what they see is only Sword Dao.

Unless it is one at the level of Primordial Celestial Venerable of Supreme Cause and Effect, personally casting their gaze...

But Zhang Fusheng did not intend to hide from those Supremes, what he needed to hide from, was merely the mundane world for now.

At this very moment,

In the grass hut of Other Shore Mountain, the Dao body of the World-Honored One slowly opened his eyes, comfortably seated, summoned Lin Changle, instructed concerning the matter of going to Chang’an ten days later to bestow the Nine-Ring Scepter and brocade robe,

As for Zhang Fusheng?

He has quietly transformed, walking out of the Eight Sceneries Palace, returning from the Divine Realm to reality,

Yet descending outside the Other Shore World.

"Flying Transformation."

Great Divine Technique is initiated, he stands in the wilderness, stands upon the World Plateau, yet it is merely a trace of a silhouette,

A trace identical in power to the true self—what about the true self?

It has already disappeared from reality.

Elusive to trace, elusive to observe, elusive to decipher.

"Should I first visit the Capital, or first go to the ruins of Yingtian City, to that place called Windmill Village, seeking Liu Bang and Xiang Yu?"

A youth with a vastly different appearance stands in the wilderness, dressed in coarse linen garments, wearing straw sandals, a bamboo hat on his head, muttering to himself.

His gaze is profoundly deep, lifting his head, watches the celestial vault, watches the starry sky.

Divine Technqiue, Shift Stars and Change Constellations.

Shift Stars and Change Constellations is both a formidable killing move as Heaven initiates machination, also a Marvelous Technique of Heaven’s secret and number,

With this Great Divine Technique, it can take life, it can obscure, alter celestial secrets, even amend the "fate" of a creature.

This is the Great Divine Technique.

Thirty-six Divine Techniques of Tiangang, each terrifyingly potent.

Zhang Fusheng now stands alone within the thick fog of the plateau, yet this fog cannot hinder his gaze, stars transform at will.

He also concocts a perfect set of special celestial secrets, special past for his true self, real body.

Thus,

Even encountering a mighty adept at divination, personally deducing this body, they would absolutely not trace to World-Honored One Buddha and Blessed Infinite Celestial Venerate.

"As for my name..."

Zhang Fusheng lowered his eyelids, contemplated briefly, then made a decision.

He muttered to himself:

"From today forth, I shall be called Daoist Venerable."

"Taking Dao as surname, Venerable as name."

The thick fog all around sways in the wind, there seems to be thunder in the celestial vault above, yet the thunder swiftly falls silent.

The youth in coarse linen clothes stretched lazily, walking alone through the fog, walking atop the plateau, step by step.

"Only in ten days will the western journey formally commence, the Northern Emperor’s side need not be concerned for the meantime."

"Since Maitreya Buddha has not yet returned to position, Ling Mountain also finds difficulty in truly establishing, it is thus unnecessary to excessively engage with the Pantheon."

Zhang Fusheng muttered to himself, his gaze clear and bright,

after mastering the Divine Technique of Shift Stars and Change Constellations, under the survey of celestial secrets, he glimpsed the new event of divine mandate.

It is the establishment of Ling Mountain.

Three Buddhas in place, Ling Mountain returns to position, likewise returning to position, are also many Celestial Positions within Ling Mountain.

Only until then, is the right time to formally incorporate the Pantheon into Ling Mountain!

"I must hasten to find Lin Dongxi."

Zhang Fusheng muttered to himself, gazing in the direction of the Capital, his gaze profoundly deep, amid the Capital’s blurred, obfuscated array even he cannot decipher thoroughly,

He can vaguely perceive Chen Yuque is also there—yet cannot directly descend his Spiritual Will into her body.

Despite Second Senior Sister now being his Divine Realm creation,

But that array severs everything.

"So, how to enter the Capital without causing a stir, drawing attention?"

Zhang Fusheng troublingly scratched his head—the Capital isn’t just someplace one can go casually.
