Secret Buyer

Chapter 384 - 280: For All Living Beings, Rewriting Morality

Chongyang Small World.

Above the world, a massive stone tablet pressed down horizontally, with words: "Immortal Gods Without Decree Must Not Enter."

Thus, all existences at the Divine Spirit level were blocked outside.

But it only blocked the Divine Spirits.

Celestial Humans and those at the Innate Realm, however, entered this small world one after another—but no one went to Chongyang City; they were all gathering towards Chang’an Town.

The day when the great opportunity, as indicated by the Celestial Secret, would emerge was not far.

February 9, merely two months away, nothing more.

At this moment, the people in Chang’an Town had been evacuated; they were almost all outsiders, Celestial Humans and Innates, only three mansions still had people,

namely, the Wei, Yuan, and Wu mansions. The Celestial Humans couldn’t see through these three places, and no one dared to venture boldly in,

but many Innate Realm individuals were driven to probe, and the result?

No return, like mud cattle sinking into the sea, without stirring the least ripple.

Thus, the Celestial Humans became more cautious.

Meanwhile, in Chongyang City.

"The Celestial Humans gathering in that small town are probably more than fifty!"

Hu Zhongli spoke in a low voice:

"Fortunately, they are all heading towards Chang’an Town and not troubling us."

"Is it really okay?"

Someone chuckled bitterly:

"The Celestial Humans in the city have at least broken into double digits, all from various sects and factions."

He paused, taking a deep breath:

"Let us not forget, the Sea-Stabilizing Divine Needle Iron is also suspected to exist in our Chongyang City, and the Celestial Humans except for those of the Evil Cult are unaware; otherwise...."

In the conference room, everyone was silent.

The importance of the Sea-Stabilizing Divine Needle Iron is no less significant than that so-called great opportunity, perhaps even far above it.

Chen Daoling at this moment spoke in a deep voice:

"A very delicate balance has been formed now; the Celestial Humans and great figures of the Innate level who went to Chang’an Town are unaware of the existence of the Sea-Stabilizing Divine Needle Iron."

"And the Evil Cult people who know about the Sea-Stabilizing Divine Needle Iron are also unwilling to raise the alarm; they fear attracting those great figures’ attention."

Pausing, Chen Daoling continued:

"For this reason, a balance is achieved; the sect Celestial Humans lurking in the city have not come out recklessly, they are all lurking, waiting for an opportunity."

Beside him,

Hu Zhongli nodded slightly, frowning tightly:

"The great figures in Chang’an Town are waiting for February 9, waiting for the great opportunity to open."

"The sect Celestial Humans lurking in the city are also waiting for February 9, waiting for when those great figures are fighting over the so-called great opportunity and have no time to pay attention...."

The atmosphere in the conference room grew heavier.

It was already December, close to mid-month, exactly two months from February 9.

Two months later, this delicate balance will be broken,

the Celestial Humans from all sects and factions will definitely fight fiercely, even destroy the entire city just to find the Sea-Stabilizing Divine Needle Iron!

Then, how should they handle themselves?

In the silence, a high-level member of Chongyang City asked:

"What about Lord Zhang?"

Everyone exchanged glances.

Yes, what about that Lord Zhang who is also at the Celestial Human level?

A director from a certain administrative office lightly tapped the conference table:

"More than a month ago, that Lord Zhang said he was going to establish High Heaven City, to convene a sect assembly, and then disappeared."

"Fortunately, the sects didn’t take it to heart, otherwise...."

Hu Zhongli sighed lightly, speaking gravely:

"Lord Zhang naturally has his own plans, but we also have to prepare for the worst...."

The cultists will not allow anyone in the city to leave because,

each person might possibly be carrying the Sea-Stabilizing Divine Needle Iron.

But how can they contend against the many Celestial Humans from the Evil Cult when February 9 arrives?

No one knows.

Everyone felt somewhat despairing; someone spoke in frustration:

"Even if Lord Zhang is here, what use would it be?"

"How could he alone be the match of at least a dozen or twenty Celestial Humans of the Evil Cult?"

Sighs resonated in the meeting room, and no one spoke further.

Meanwhile, in the wilderness.

Cui Baihua carried an ancestral tablet shrouded in black cloth, walking alone in the wilderness upon the earth.

She murmured to herself:

"That aura related to the great Lord of the Nine Netherworld has vanished and has not reappeared; it seems the other party is not in this small world."

"Ancestor, ancestor."

Cui Baihua gently stroked the tablet behind her, asking:

"Do you think I should wait quietly in this special small world, to seize the so-called great opportunity on February 9th, or leave here to continue seeking clues of the great Lord of the Nine Netherworld?"

The tablet did not move, seeming as if the speck of True Spirit within it had once again fallen into slumber.

The girl sighed softly.

......

World Plateau, Hangu Pass region.

"It was Old Kong; he pierced through space and descended upon the World Plateau, guided by his bloodline connection."

Gazes fixed on the void rift pierced by Kong Shentong, staring at that region.

An entity at the Divine Spirit level expressed surprise:

"A Buddhist Temple, four Venerate-level stone statues, and an incomprehensible Buddha statue....what is happening there?"

Another Deity holding an important position in the Federation pondered, recalling a Celestial Fate event:

"Old Kong’s descendant went there, seemingly to investigate a possible Celestial Fate event—could it be that a Celestial Fate event is indeed occurring there?"

Powerful Deities seated in the Capital whispered among themselves,

yet none attempted to pass through that void rift to descend.

Because that was Kong Shentong’s exclusive ’Divine Descent Passage.’

The most crucial point is, even if it’s indeed a Celestial Fate event, since Kong Shentong is involved, they shouldn’t interfere,

so they were all observing quietly, wanting to see what would be there, and what indeed would happen.
