Secret Buyer-Chapter 233 - 179: Fleet Departure, Arrival of the Attack

Chapter 233: Chapter 179: Fleet Departure, Arrival of the Attack

The farce quickly ended.

Zhang Fusheng took Lin Shiquan back to the city center and lifted the restrictions on him—but necessary surveillance was still indispensable.

Lin Shiquan could understand this.

After all, mere words carry no weight.

Under Zhang Fusheng’s witness, he immediately contacted Lin Yusheng to report all matters in detail.

On the other end of the phone, Lin Yusheng fell into silence.

For a long time.

"Central Pole Sect Leader, Emperor of the Underworld, Sin-Extinguishing Celestial Venerate..."

Lin Yusheng murmured deeply and spoke:

"Is the Divine Envoy there?"

"I’m here." Zhang Fusheng responded indifferently: "I am blessed by divine grace, endowed with the Dharma Aspect of the Nine Netherworlds Sin-Extinguishing Celestial Venerate, capable of directly communicating with deities, feel free to tell me whatever you have to say."

Both Lin Shiquan and Lin Yusheng, who was far away in the Golden City, turned pale simultaneously.

Using a Divine Spirit as a Dharma Aspect?

If it’s an incomplete, mere form of a Dharma Aspect that would be fine, as many Contemplation Techniques can achieve that, but if it’s a True God Dharma Aspect that truly wields authority...

After a long silence.

"We also once established a sect for the Ancestor of Land Immortals."

Lin Yusheng’s voice came through:

"Although it was small and was defined as a minor evil cult by the Federation, it was still established."

"I will, in the shortest time possible, transfer the deity that the sect worships to the Nine Netherworlds Sin-Extinguishing Celestial Venerate, and I will also yield the position of Pope to the Divine Envoy."

"No need."

Zhang Fusheng shook his hand to refuse; he didn’t have the leisure for that:

"Let Vice Director Lin continue to serve, but since we are now on the same front and share a common enemy, I have a small favor that requires Vice Director Lin’s help."

"Also, has Vice Director Lin ever heard of the High Heaven Association?"

On the other end of the phone, Lin Yusheng’s breathing quickened.

......

After the exchange with Lin Yusheng.

Zhang Fusheng quietly returned home, his mom and dad were already asleep, and that girl Zhang Xiaoxi was still packing in her room,

Early tomorrow morning, she would follow the research team back to the Golden City.

By rights, the research team would have stayed in Chongyang City for a long time, but due to the previous attack and the current unrest,

the research team decided to return to the Golden City temporarily.

Of course.

The main reason was that Yu Huafeng needed to go back to attempt to retrieve some Level 4 Star Beast meat.

Without disturbing Zhang Xiaoxi, Zhang Fusheng silently returned to his own room and sat cross-legged.

His mind immersed itself into the Divine Realm.

Gazing at the enormous Divine Statue, he let out a soft sigh.

"Incense, deities..."

"In the myths of the past life, sufficient incense could even create deities, much like the various City Gods, or the famed Emperor Guan."

"But this world clearly cultivates power from within oneself."

"What exactly is the relationship between incense and deities?"

Unable to comprehend it, Zhang Fusheng didn’t linger on it. He first entered the Five Mansions Temple, opening the Tao Scripture without restraint.

The Tao Scripture, containing mysterious texts, had a total of eighty-one pages.

"Indeed, it is different."

Zhang Fusheng’s eyes sparkled; at least he could now vaguely understand the meaning of the text on the first page,

instead of being unable to grasp even a single word’s meaning as in the past.

"What limits my practice of this Earth Book isn’t just enlightenment—even enlightenment accounts for only a small part."

"More so, my understanding of the ’Dao’ is too shallow."

Zhang Fusheng quickly flipped through the Tao Scripture, and the latter pages once again became indecipherable.

"According to the first page, the Earth Book carries the various Dao of the earth, and the word ’earth’ here doesn’t only refer to the surface."

"It also includes the ’subterranean’—the Underworld."

Zhang Fusheng pondered, Ancestor of Earth Immortals, the so-called Earth Immortal, is an immortal of the earth, like the Five Mountains Emperors, or many Earth Deities—including City Gods, such Underworld deities.

Zhen Yuanzi’s position is indeed extensive.

In some sense, they might even be one of the Ancestors of the Underworld.

"Ghost, human, earth, sky, deity."

"Earth Immortals reside in the Middle Grade, representing the balance of the five poles, able to ascend to the heavens or enter the Underworld."

The Tao Scripture suddenly left his hands, Zhang Fusheng frowned and looked, seeing wisps of blue smoke swirling in the incense burner, forming writing.

"How long can you hide?"

"My followers are about to find you."

Zhang Fusheng almost laughed; he knew the Ancestor of Land Immortals couldn’t see or hear him, so he stared at the two smoky lines in the swirling smoke:

"Your followers..."

"Soon, they’ll be mine."

Zhang Fusheng couldn’t be bothered to prattle with the Ancestor of Land Immortals and turned to leave, descending upon the Land of the Other Shore.

"I’m here," he wrote on the muddy ground.

Moments later.

"Thank you for coming to see me."

Zhang Fusheng squinted slightly, writing again.

"I heard that in the Netherworld, deities cannot enter, how is it that you are there?"

After a brief silence.

"I was exiled here; they cannot kill me and are afraid of me."

"Afraid?"

"Yes, my status is special, qualified to sit on the position of the Great Perfection Master, so the other Ancient Saints exiled me."

Zhang Fusheng was thoughtful, pondering for a moment before asking again.

"Is it just you in the Underworld?"

"Just me, at least I haven’t encountered any creatures, of course, the dense fog separates and I can’t see far."

"I’m stuck in a great river, unable to break free or escape, only my hands cling to the shore."

Looking at the lines of emerging text, Zhang Fusheng’s eyes flickered,

he accompanied the Ancient Saint in idle talk, subtly inquiring about many matters concerning the Underworld,

once he had a rough outline in his mind, only then did he end the conversation.

"Interesting."

He left the Land of the Other Shore, speaking to himself.

According to what the Ancient Saint said, the Underworld has no sky, no sun, shrouded in impenetrable fog, no creatures, no ghostly apparitions, only it alone, a single deity.
