Secret Buyer

Chapter 396 - 285: World-Cleaving Sword Qi, At Last

"Let’s go."

Ruan Yutu once again led the ox and proceeded forward.

Before leaving.

Zhang Fusheng didn’t forget to leave a spiritual imprint at this place—he didn’t have the time to handle this matter now,

but after February 9, when he sat at the Tathagata Celestial Position and successfully built High Heaven City,

he would naturally have enough time and energy.

Time loops...

In such a fleeting moment, Zhang Fusheng had already thought of the greatest use for it.

"For instance, I could pull that dual-pupiled one called Xiang Yu into High Heaven, make a deal with him, and buy his dual pupils and his astounding strength."

"Then I would let him and Liu Bang go back, let the white snake devour them, reset everything—and thus, I could buy it again."

"Cycle after cycle, endlessly...."

Zhang Fusheng thought endlessly, murmuring to himself:

"It’s a pity, it seems to be of no use—wholesale dual pupils?"

Dual pupils, a special constitution renowned even in the ancient times.

He licked his lips, suppressing the urge to interfere and trade immediately; one wrong move, and he might also be trapped in the loop,

and that would truly be troublesome.

"Moreover, this place involves the mysterious concept of time, knocking on the Gate of the Past may not necessarily work, it’s better to be cautious, better to be cautious..."

Zhang Fusheng cautioned himself thusly.

.........

"Where is this place?"

Yingtian City.

The young man in black coughed, looking around in confusion, as he and another Divine Spirit took to the sky, their Divine Thought scanning the area.

"An infinitely vast land, in the distance there’s a Profound Yellow Waterfall flowing upwards, immeasurably broad... no, it’s not a waterfall, it seems like a mountain range?"

The young man in black murmured, exchanging a glance with the elderly Divine Spirit.

At this very moment, the entire Yingtian City was engulfed in panic, in chaos, in riots,

even the stationed troops were showing signs of mutiny, yet the two Deities did not concern themselves with these matters, instead exploring this unknown realm.

"There are living beings, it is not the Divine Realm."

The elderly Divine Spirit pointed into the distance, his eyes radiating divine light:

"There seem to be several ancient empires, I see some Divine Statues—perhaps there are Divine Spirits in this world."

The young man in black nodded, and with a thought, gathered hundreds of mortals from a distant ancient city.

"What is this place?" He solemnly asked, his celestial presence overwhelming.

The hundreds of mortals, after a brief panic, quickly adapted, looking at the two Deities with curiosity, without any trace of fear on their faces.

"What is this place?"

The young man in black frowned, displeased, guarding against the massive Buddha who had vanished without a trace, while intending to directly kill half the people to quickly instill fear.

Celestial might descended, pressing upon half of the mortals.

But then—

Nothing happened.

"How is this possible?" The young man in black was astonished, incredulous, a Divine Spear manifesting in his hand, which he raised and hurled!

The Divine Spear struck firmly between the forehead of a mortal, but did not even graze the surface.

The two Deities were alarmed, trying many lethal methods, but could not harm these mortals no matter what!

"Look at that." The elderly Divine Spirit suddenly pointed towards a mighty mountain peak in the distance.

The young man in black gazed over, clearly seeing at the summit of the mountain, a colossal Celestial Stele with inscriptions.

He softly read:

"For mortal beings... this realm forbids mutual harm??"

The two Divine Spirits exchanged frightened glances, the elderly Venerate swallowing hard:

"Is this the legendary Rule Celestial Stele?"

"It seems so."

The young man in black nodded solemnly, knowing there was also such a Celestial Stele on the home planet, the text upon which transformed the planet into a deformed world composed of innumerable Bubble Heaven and Earth stacked together.

"Related to that massive Buddha." The elderly Divine Spirit asserted.

He amiably inquired of the mortals, eventually arriving at the desired answer.

"This is the Human Realm." A mortal spoke matter-of-factly: "To be precise, it’s the Human Realm of the Three Realms, within the World Honored Country!"

"World Honored Country?"

The young man in black raised an eyebrow:

"What other nations are there?"

The honest man counted on his fingers:

"World Honored Country, Central Extreme Country, Human Ancestor Country, Wa Country, and Daoist Country!"

He looked up:

"Whoever you believe in is the great Divine Spirit, that’s the country you’re in!"

The elderly Divine Spirit squinted:

"Three Realms... doesn’t that mean there are two more realms?"

"Yes, yes!"

The honest man nodded, pointing one hand to the sky and the other to the ground, earnestly speaking:

"The Celestial Realm is above, the Netherworld is below!"

The two Deities furrowed their brows, looking up, vaguely seeing clouds roiling, and gazing upwards beyond the clouds, seemed to glimpse an ancient palace and a majestic Celestial Gate!

They exchanged glances and then soared into the sky,

yet they could not cross the thick layer of cloud no matter what.

Undeterred, they attempted to go underground, descending countless miles until reaching the deepest part of the earth.

"We can’t go further down."

The young man in black stepped upon the faint chaotic fog at the deepest place, eyes glowing with divine light, attempting to see through the scene beneath the fog.

Faintly, he saw an enormous river that stretched infinitely, saw innumerable wandering Soul Spirits and skeletons,

vaguely glimpsing a towering Divine Mountain, upon which seemed to be a palace...

"Let me try!" The elderly Divine Spirit spoke, attempting to deduce and divine the hazy Divine Mountain,

visions reflected in his eyes, showing an Imperial Palace, and an Emperor’s Shadow...

The Emperor’s Shadow opened its eyes.

’Poof!!’

The elderly Divine Spirit spat out a mouthful of blood, crying out in pain, divine blood flowing from his eyes.

"Old Chen!" The young man in black exclaimed, while the staggering elderly Divine Spirit responded: "I’m alright..."

He took deep breaths:

"I divined and deduced an utterly terrifying existence, and suffered backlash..."
