Chapter 390 - 282: Violet Qi Shapes the Body, Innate Physique

"Moo!"

The black bull whispered softly.

Beside it, Ruan Yutu was also reshaping her body amidst the purple aura, Zhang Fusheng spoke calmly:

"Yutu, you are a person of complete perfection, blessed by heaven and earth, and your name coincidentally resonates with a certain past Divine Buddha..."

Zhang Fusheng gestured with his hand, transforming part of the Taiyin Qi from the Divine Realm’s Guanghan Palace into reality,

letting this Taiyin Qi flow into Ruan Yutu’s body, together with the purple aura, reshaping her physique.

After a moment, she removed her veil, revealing an icy complexion and jade-like bones; her appearance hadn’t changed much, but a faint trace of Taiyin Qi surrounded her,

making her resemble a Taiyin Female Immortal from the Guanghan Palace at first glance.

Her cultivation was also skyrocketing,

almost instantly breaking into the Celestial Human Realm!

This was the Merit Purple Qi.

Yet, this scene made Zhang Fusheng even more stifled, the red bull...black bull became a Venerate, Yutu became a Celestial Human,

what about me!

Where is my purple aura!

"Is it because I have no further to advance, unable to ascend to godhood, so the purple aura has no response?"

Zhang Fusheng murmured to himself, questioning inwardly,

at this moment he almost stood at the pinnacle beneath the Divine Spirits, with a Venerate level body, nearly ten thousand years of mental accumulation,

together with the utmost harmony with heaven and earth, and all the various divine techniques he mastered...

Zhang Fusheng thought, even if facing a singular Venerate, he had the power to fight!

"Now, I should be standing at the pinnacle of the Human Path, unable to enter the Divine Path, so advancement is difficult."

He murmured, pondered for a moment, also reshaping his own appearance,

during the process, he vaguely sensed the location of the purple aura, and thus a small portion of the purple aura flowed throughout his body, reshaping him.

The purple aura effused all around,

Zhang Fusheng could feel that he was ’reversing’.

It felt like reversing from ’Postnatal’ to ’Innate’.

He began to grow younger, from old age back to prime, then to youth, teenage years...and finally shaping into a child!

"Five years old..."

Zhang Fusheng sensed this body, a five-year-old child, half an Innate body, with barely detectable purple aura flowing beneath the skin,

while true Innate Qi floated within his chest.

This Innate was not the ’Innate Realm’ Innate,

but the ’Innate’ within ’Postnatal’ and ’Innate’.

He suddenly understood.

"When I ascend to godhood, the purple aura will completely reshape my body, reforming Essence, Qi, and Spirit."

"Perhaps, it might transform me from a ’Postnatal Creature’ into an ’Innate Spiritual Being’."

What is an Innate Spiritual Being?

Existed even before heaven and earth were born.

Zhang Fusheng’s heart was somewhat excited again but quickly calmed it down, riding the black bull towards a populated place ahead.

After a short while, they were near.

In sight was a small village, with light and a field of rice paddies,

many people working in the fields, and pedestrians walking on the country path.

Many villagers saw the child riding the bull,

but merely glanced without other reactions—since, there were herding children riding bulls everywhere nearby.

"Yutu, go ask where this is." Zhang Fusheng said crisply, his voice like pearls dropping onto a jade plate.

Ruan Yutu looked at the four or five-year-old child with a peculiar expression, and reluctantly said:

"Yes, godfather."

Ruan Yutu released the reins, walked forward, and stopped a hurried passerby, politely asking:

"We are travelers from Jin City, may I ask, where is this place? And how far is it to Qinghe City?"

"Qinghe City?"

The passerby appraised the young girl up and down, his face showed amazement and immediately replied:

"Qinghe City is to the north, roughly thousands of miles away, as for here..."

The passerby paused and smiled:

"This here is called Windmill Village, close to Yingtian City."

"Yingtian City?"

Ruan Yutu was momentarily surprised, then politely thanked him before returning to report:

"Godfather, we went in the wrong direction, ahead is Yingtian City."

"Yingtian City connects to Yingtian Province... which is one of the three rebel provinces."

"Yingtian Province?"

Zhang Fusheng pondered:

"Find out the exact direction of Qinghe City, and let’s head there."

Mid-December had already passed, and he didn’t have time to waste, he must head to Qinghe City immediately,

only by reaching Qinghe City, could he find Chongyang Heaven and Earth — of course, along with the Tathagata Celestial Position.

Laozi went west out of Hangu Pass, transforming into Buddha, teaching all beings.

Zhang Fusheng understood in his heart that the destined event of going west out of Hangu Pass perhaps wasn’t completely over,

otherwise, how could he only have received a large lump of purple merit aura and Laozi Celestial Position?

He suspected that he must complete the subsequent ’transform into Buddha’ as well,

to truly conclude this destined event, and only then truly receive what is due.

"Godfather, please wait."

Ruan Yutu went to stop a few more passersby, asking one by one, but no one knew exactly how to get to Qinghe City—it was too far.

Having no choice, she returned:

"Godfather, there’s a bit of trouble finding Qinghe City’s exact location, perhaps we should first go to Yingtian City?"

After a pause, Ruan Yutu continued:

"As long as we buy a map and such, we can completely navigate by the map, arriving at Qinghe City in a matter of day and night at most."

"The only trouble is, with the rebellion in Yingtian Province, Yingtian City might not be stable now."

"Then let’s go to Yingtian City first."

The child on the bull’s back spoke calmly, his skin crystal clear, eyes shining brightly;

"Move quickly, it’s almost January, and the time left for us... is not much."

"Yes, godfather."

Ruan Yutu responded, just as she was about to lead the bull onward, a commotion was heard.

It was from a household in the village, where an old father was chasing his little son, cursing as he ran:

"Liu Bang, you scoundrel, you’ve gambled away all our family wealth! You’re no son of mine, get out, get out!"

On the bull’s back,

Zhang Fusheng glanced sideways, his eyes subtly interwoven with delicate starlines.

Insight into Cause and Effect.

He indeed saw a special, immensely thick cause and effect on the boy being chased, named Liu Bang, stretching into the depths of an unknown void,

much like the one between Erfeng and Emperor Ziwei of the North Pole.

Zhang Fusheng sneered and murmured to himself:

"Could such coincidences really exist in this world?"

"And all of them happened to me first? That would be absurd."

After pondering for just a moment, Zhang Fusheng said:

"Yutu, let’s leave here—quickly."

"Yes, godfather."

Ruan Yutu responded, led the bull, and within a few breaths, they had passed through the village, moving away.

Zhang Fusheng was fully clear in his mind—these miscellaneous matters, he was not willing to involve himself at all!

"Only, when it comes to it, if Emperor Tang is related to Emperor Ziwei of the North Pole, then with whom is Emperor Han connected?"

Zhang Fusheng mused internally, could it be... Red Emperor?

The village was left far behind, in front, Yingtian City was faintly visible, but behind them, hoofbeats sounded once more.

Zhang Fusheng turned his gaze back, seeing the boy called Liu Bang and another vigorous young man, each riding a horse, galloping down the road,

apparently heading to Yingtian City as well.

He heard the boy shout to the young man:

"Brother Xiang, just trust me this once, this time I can absolutely win back what I lost..."

Before he finished speaking, the ground trembled slightly.

A giant white snake burst out from the ground!

The two horses neighed in fright, the young man named Xiang pulled the reins, while the boy Liu Bang fell off the horse, crying out in pain.

Zhang Fusheng watched everything with an impassive expression, instructing:

"Yutu, no need to go to Yingtian City, let’s head somewhere else."

This murky water, he had no intention of dipping into it at all!
