Secret Buyer

Chapter 437 - 302: Saint’s Golden Body, the Westward Journey Must Begin

Taoist Palace remains silent.

No one knows what the Great Celestial Lord is waiting for.

Moment by moment passes,

Footsteps come from behind, everyone instinctively turns to look, seeing a dimly lit silhouette, moving step by step, entering the Eight Sceneries Palace.

"Praise, Infinite Celestial Venerate!"

Shi Zhengyuan calls out loudly.

The Celestial Venerate nods.

The attendees breathed a sigh of relief, while Kong Shentong observed the sudden arrival with curiosity,

The third figure Huang Qiuxian asked:

"Fourth figure, have you... encountered any mishaps?"

"Indeed."

Shi Zhengyuan nodded frankly, consulted with the Celestial Venerate and True Man, and once the True Man signaled that free communication was allowed,

He briefly narrated the cause and effect.

"Among the Supreme Treasures I possess, an Old World True Spirit has awakened, nearly causing me calamity."

The attendees were startled, especially Kong Shentong, recalling the feeling of helplessness when faced with the terrifying will within the Buddha Statue, shuddering inwardly.

Miss Ming Yue couldn’t help but ask:

"A trace of Old World True Spirit, can you describe it?"

Shi Zhengyuan nodded and said:

"He claims that in ancient times, he walked among the heavens as a supreme being, a savior on earth, born by divine decree..."

"He said he once controlled an old world great temple, forging a Golden Body in fire."

The attendees were each alarmed, Kong Shentong couldn’t help but lick his lips: Supreme among the heavens, savior on earth...

Miss Ming Yue frowned in thought, unable to think of any corresponding figure.

Shi Zhengyuan continued:

"He also claimed to be the protagonist of an upcoming great event, replacing someone named Tang Xuanzang."

"Tang Xuanzang?" Miss Ming Yue was surprised.

The attendees’ gazes turned to this mysterious eighth figure, Shi Zhengyuan’s eyes brightened:

"Eighth figure, you come from the Old World, do you know this name?"

Kong Shentong raised his eyebrows again, taking on a serious expression, scrutinizing this so-called eighth figure.

Miss Ming Yue nodded:

"I do know him; during the Old World times, he was a disciple of the Ling Mountain Buddha, later attaining the Merit Buddha Position, his status being very special..."

The attendees began to discuss amongst themselves.

The Buddha Son curiously asked:

"Fourth figure, how did you escape from the Old World entity?"

Shi Zhengyuan looked towards the quietly flowing Chaotic Mist, bowing:

"It was the World Venerate who saved me."

Kong Shentong immediately perked up his ears, the attendees also turned their attention to the Great Celestial Venerate; previously, heavenly sound engulfed the entire mother planet,

Now everyone knows, the World Venerate comes from High Heaven above, forging High Heaven City and the Other Shore World amidst earthly life.

The Great Celestial Venerate remained silent, it was the True Man who spoke:

"The Celestial Venerate has said that only Laozi can transform into Tathagata, the World Venerate is Laozi, Laozi being a transformation of the Great Celestial Venerate walking on earth."

The attendees understood, yet Kong Shentong couldn’t help but appear puzzled.

Yuan Feidao in the corner swallowed hard.

Shi Zhengyuan noticed an extra member, curiously asked:

"Speaking of which, this person is...?"

The attendees’ expression became somewhat strange, eventually, it was the ninth member Yuan Tiandao who explained:

"The newcomer, although in reality they hold high status and power, being the Great Pope of the Ancient Saint Sect."

"Oh, turns out to be... huh?" Shi Zhengyuan’s eyes widened suddenly, who?

Ancient Saint Sect? Pope??

Kong Shentong also regained awareness, casting a wary glance at the mist-concealing Great Celestial Venerate,

Then smilingly cupped hands towards Shi Zhengyuan:

"Once entered High Heaven, all are fellows."

Shi Zhengyuan remained stunned, and he can’t be blamed, the elders and venerates in the various sects are already remarkable figures to them,

Not to mention a Pope??

A person at the Pope level represents [Great Divine Power User]!

An individual standing at the pinnacle of the entire Federation!

Shi Zhengyuan quickly regained composure, cautiously making a hand salute towards the newcomer, Kong Shentong nodded with a soft smile,

But within the Chaotic Mist, Zhang Fusheng slightly frowned.

He could sense that since Kong Shentong entered High Heaven above, the number of times he sized him up exceeded ten,

His gaze was more of wary than reverent.

This guy has a wild, ambitious heart.

Zhang Fusheng became instantly alert, this old control, after all, is a genuine [Great Divine Power User],

In the Old World, he would be equivalent to a True Monarch, Bodhisattva level existence, holding the entire Ancient Saint Sect!

Such a person doesn’t merely aspire sky-high; not to mention terms like invincible heart, but likely close.

Zhang Fusheng suddenly realized.

This guy, even in High Heaven above, won’t truly bow before the [Great Celestial Lord] like the previous attendees.

Indeed, he directly revealed his identity as the Ancient Saint Sect’s Pope, likely already planning to root his own ’force’ above High Heaven.

Anyone can encounter great danger, members in High Heaven need only seek help from Kong Shentong, easily falling under his ’control’.

A surge of impulse flashed in Zhang Fusheng’s mind to kick this guy out of High Heaven above, but he quickly halted—

This guy is quite useful after all.

As long as usefulness persists.

He can accept ’disloyalty’.

Through the thick Chaotic Mist, Zhang Fusheng took a deep glance at the calm Kong Shentong, a reminder echoing in his heart once again.

In this withering era to reach such heights is akin to achieving Celestial Venerate, Buddha, even attaining Daluo Fruit Position in the Old World,

Such individuals must not be underestimated.

Thus...

First squeeze some benefits.

Meanwhile,

The attendees began exchanging the information they’ve gathered.

Chen Nuanyu softly said:

"Not much has changed on my side; I use Marvelous Medicine, Celestial Medicine for daily baths, approximately next month, a Divine Spirit will meditate within my heart for forty-nine days."
