Secret Buyer-Chapter 260 - 198: Anchoring a New Scene, Like the Great Sun Touring the Heavens!

Chapter 260: Chapter 198: Anchoring a New Scene, Like the Great Sun Touring the Heavens!

In the third painting, there is similarly the remnants of a palace, but what’s different is that one corner of the painting also includes a large golden bell.

The golden bell hangs in front of the palace gate.

The bell looks majestic and ancient, suggesting that the palace was at least an Upper Grade celestial abode!

Otherwise, it wouldn’t have warranted the personal presence of the Nail-Head Seven Arrows Book’s owner. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

The last picture is much simpler, featuring a sea of clouds with a lone leaf-shaped boat on it.

But Zhang Fusheng was unsure if, after anchoring, his Divine Realm would gain a boat or an expanse of clouds.

After pondering for a while, Zhang Fusheng finally made a decision.

"It’s you."

He took a deep breath and looked at the second picture — the one with a dark, eerie mountain.

The reason was quite simple.

"The fourth picture is too uncertain, and the third one seems to depict a celestial palace — but how many can compare to the Eight Sceneries Palace?"

They overlap.

Unless it were clearly a place like Leiyin Temple, Jade Void Palace, or Lingxiao Hall, Zhang Fusheng’s desire to choose would genuinely not be that high.

"Considering everything lately..."

"First the Bridge of Helplessness and then the Book of Life and Death, and now by accident, I’ve really donned the guise of the Nine Netherworlds Sin-Extinguishing Celestial Venerate."

"All of this indicates."

"I am fated with the Nine Netherworlds."

Zhang Fusheng no longer hesitated, reaching out to point at the second mountain image, at that corner of the remains.

"Appear."

He whispered softly.

The painting shook and expanded.

The Divine Realm also trembled and then violently extended!!

He looked, and the gaze of the Great Celestial Venerate passed through the Taoist Palace gate and shimmering light, landing in the Divine Realm.

’Boom boom boom!!’

A violent roar!

Kneeling before the statue of the Nine Netherworlds Sin-Extinguishing Celestial Venerate, Quan Hun and Cui Wenda simultaneously looked toward the place of upheaval,

The entire ’world’ rocked, with a spring eye appearing, yet what gushed out was not sweet and clear spring water, but wave after wave of dense death qi!

Death qi and yin qi quickly spread throughout the ’world’,

The already somber Divine Realm gained a three-fold semblance of the Nine Netherworlds’ sinister scene, and above the spring eye,

A Divine Mountain was emerging from the void, gradually becoming real!

The Divine Mountain took form, pressing down upon the death qi spring eye.

The mountain rose two thousand six hundred miles high, with a circumference of three hundred miles, its caverns beneath, spanning fifteen thousand miles,

On the inky black and shadowy Divine Mountain stood six Celestial Palaces.

Each palace spanned a thousand miles, situated at six points on the mountain, with the palaces on the ground, and caverns inside the mountains, forming a Grotto Heaven.

Thus dividing into inner and outer parts.

Zhang Fusheng stood from his meditation mat, walked to the Taoist Palace gate, and gazed down at the deathly Divine Mountain.

"So it’s this mountain... I actually forgot about such a famous mountain."

He smiled wryly.

Indeed, I am inextricably linked with the Nine Netherworlds.

The six celestial palaces on the mountain clearly indicate Luofeng Six Palaces, making this mountain self-explanatory.

Luofeng Mountain.

In legends, within the Nine Netherworlds, the realm controlled by Emperor Fengdu, serving as the root of the Nine Nether Death Qi, is topped by the Six Celestial Palaces,

Within these palaces reside the Six Celestial Ghosts and Gods, managing Netherworld Affairs, overseeing the deployment of ghosts and gods, and holding sway over the mortal world’s fortune of life and death.

They are akin to Emperor Fengdu’s ’six housekeepers’, responsible for executing his will.

With a thought.

The entire Divine Realm became frozen, both the Flawless Soul and Cui Wenda fell into a state of suspension, with six senses sealed, unaware of external matters.

Zhang Fusheng left the Eight Sceneries Palace, his form suddenly descending upon the legendary Luofeng Mountain,

He observed the six celestial palaces, drawing near, but was shocked to discover all six were in a shattered state,

The exterior remained intact, but inside was in disarray, with even the celestial palace doors unable to open — having collapsed within.

As if having undergone a great disaster.

"It seems....."

Zhang Fusheng looked at the base of Luofeng Mountain, where Nine Nether Death Qi surged like tides.

He sensed that whether Flawless Soul, Residual Soul, or Grim Skeleton,

Upon contact with the Nine Nether Death Qi, they all became more eerie, even beginning to slowly and naturally absorb the death qi.

"It appears that the primary benefit Luofeng Mountain provides me right now is this Nine Nether Death Qi."

Zhang Fusheng licked his lips, clearly feeling that even the initially acquired Grim Skeletons, devoid of cultivation,

Were slowly growing stronger!

Even the twelve Great Sect-level skeletons were becoming increasingly powerful, nourished by the Nine Nether Death Qi.

This strength was not an increase in realm, more like a living person consuming an incredible Great Medicine — still continually consuming it!

"My Divine Realm has indeed become more like the Nine Netherworlds."

Zhang Fusheng muttered, calming his mind.

He seemed to be on a path to create the Nine Netherworlds, a road of no return.

"I happen to bear the name of Taiqing, now also bestowed the titles of Central Pole Sect Leader, Emperor of the Underworld, and Nine Netherworlds Sin-Extinguishing Celestial Venerate..."

"Then who exactly should I be?"

Zhang Fusheng closed his eyes, pondering.

He opened his eyes.

"I am Zhang Fusheng."

Whether Taiqing or the Nine Netherworlds Sin-Extinguishing Celestial Venerate, they’re merely my ’disguises’.

He must distinguish between his disguises and his true self.

The thought withdrew from the Nine Nether Divine Realm, guiding Cui Wenda’s spiritual will back to his original soul spirit.

Three hundred years of vicissitudes.

Cui Wenda, with an unchanged appearance, now seemed to bear a more profound sense of time’s passage, an indescribable and enigmatic aura.

He looked at Zhang Fusheng, at the face identical to the statue he had worshiped day and night for three hundred years, recalling the matters narrated on that stone tablet.

The Nine Netherworlds Sin-Extinguishing Celestial Venerate has ventured into mortal reincarnation for tribulation.

No wonder he is so familiar with the Book of Life and Death.

Cui Wenda prostrated, bowing with utmost reverence and sincerity:

"Praise!"

"Central Pole Sect Leader, Emperor of the Underworld, Nine Netherworlds Sin-Extinguishing Celestial Venerate!"

Zhang Fusheng laughed heartily, reaching out to conjure a silver coin, which he flicked lightly.

The silver coin rolled to a stop in front of Cui Wenda.

Chaotic fog emerged, forming into an old man, Cui Wenda glanced sideways, initially confused, for after all, three hundred years had passed, the past events blurred.

Finally, until the trifling memories of two decades resurfaced, he remembered who this was.

The Mysterious True Man who challenged heaven and earth in the video.

He saw the True Man bowing toward the tribulation form of the Sin-Extinguishing Celestial Venerate:

"Greetings to the Central Pole Sect Leader."

"At ease."

Zhang Fusheng nodded lightly, pointing at Cui Wenda, the True Man understood, glancing over to observe Cui Wenda:

"Since you are a follower of the Central Pole Sect Leader, I shall bestow grace upon you on behalf of the Taiqing Celestial Venerate."

"Are you willing to be free of the price imposed by the Book of Life and Death?"

Cui Wenda nodded woodenly:

"I am willing."

"The covenant is established."

He felt his sealed blood energy and spirit liberating again.

The True Man purchased the twofold cost.

The chaotic fog dispersed, but Cui Wenda remained prostrate.

Zhang Fusheng laughed heartily, summoning the Bridge of Helplessness, carrying Cui Wenda, sending him away from the already half-devoured Twin Cities Heaven and Earth.

"Return to your Cui Family..."

"To seize power, to struggle, with your status as a candidate bookkeeper."

"And also, preserve well your last chance for altering fate."

Cui Wenda went through the grand ceremony, with utmost sincerity, disappearing from sight.

Zhang Fusheng closed his eyes, smiling, turning around.

With a gentle stomp.

’Buzz!’

The Golden Ancient War Chariot suddenly blazed like a shining sun, its wheels rolling with a thunderous roar,

Then,

The Golden Ancient War Chariot, carrying its new master, dragging brilliant light, rumbled toward the colossal vortex!

As if patrolling the New Heaven like a great sun.
