Secret Buyer
Chapter 477 - 320: The Contract, Signed by the Eastern Emperor!
Zhang Fusheng had never seen such a scene before.
He gazed at the broken and solitary head opposite him, locked eyes with the gaze of the Supreme, and yet saw the grand scene of the heavens opening.
A myriad of different scenes of the heavens opening.
There were blurry beings standing in absolute nothingness, where time ceased, and yin and yang did not exist,
The blurred beings unfurled a scroll, and a ray of light emerged, piercing through this absolute [void],
Then there was a figure, raising an axe, eyes glaring fiercely, slashing down, the axe tore through the absolute [void],
Boundless existence spurted forth from it.
Many, many similar scenes.
Some embraced the void, from which an enigmatic drop of water was born, the water fell, transforming into all things!
There was also an old man sighing, pulling horizontally with both hands,
A piece of heaven appeared, a piece of earth also manifested.
It was these scenes, and yet not just these.
There was also Buddha’s Light piercing the void, blooming a new world; a Daoist cloaked in seventy-two colors of light exhaled a strand of Primordial Cloud, transforming into myriad creations....
Everything bewildered Zhang Fusheng, and he found himself involuntarily immersed in it,
Thoughts surged, emotions swayed, Taiyi Chapter, Heaven-Opening Chapter, Fuli Chapter...
Zhang Fusheng’s comprehension of the Primordial Ancient Scripture was advancing rapidly,
In the Taiyi Chapter, he had only touched upon the surface of [All Things are Void], in the Heaven-Opening Chapter, he gained only a glimpse of the killing technique [Pangu Banner]...
They all were being truly comprehended, without the Contract, he delved straight into them as if a momentary eternity.
One day, two days, three days.
On the tenth day.
The killing technique, taking millions or even billions of years of cultivation to comprehend a single move, a stroke of cause and effect,
Were fully comprehended by Zhang Fusheng.
He sat cross-legged in the great chaos, letting himself sink within all contradictions, sinking....
He suddenly stopped sinking and ceased to be chaotic.
Zhang Fusheng lifted his head, the ancestral acupoint between his brows opened wide, the Primordial Cloud erupted forth, thirty-six colors of light floated behind him,
He sat there, yet it seemed as though he sat beyond everything, transcending cause and effect, unstained by all things—All Things are Void.
The great success of All Things are Void.
Beside him, there was a great banner composed purely of the same chaotic qi, quietly swaying.
Taiyi Chapter, All Things are Void, accomplished.
Heaven-Opening Chapter, killing technique Pangu Banner, accomplished.
"Sustaining All Things are Void and Pangu Banner for a long time..." Zhang Fusheng quietly sensed himself: "With my current cultivation, sustaining it for ten breaths should exhaust my essence, qi, and spirit."
He murmured to himself, perplexed as to why he was not depleted.
Is it because...within this great chaos? Within the [Chaotic Bell]?
Zhang Fusheng once again turned to that broken head, the burning sensation had dissipated,
And as he gazed, only awe and slight trembling arose in his heart.
And a profound sense of his own insignificance.
"Thank you for the blessing, senior." Zhang Fusheng spoke softly.
"I cannot bear the title of senior." The broken head floating in the chaos spoke deeply:
"You may simply call me fellow Daoist."
Zhang Fusheng raised his eyebrows, once again encountering this, the Celestial Emperor spoke this way, and so did this East Emperor Taiyi.
He paused in silence and asked his biggest doubt from the heart:
"Fellow Daoist Donghuang, why...do you assist me?"
Zhang Fusheng was puzzled, candidly said:
"Every incredible being I encounter helps me...I do not understand."
The clear voice echoed in the chaos, in the state of All Things are Void, his everything was no longer disturbed by chaos,
The sound emitted by himself was not fragmented in the swirling whirlpools of frenzied, distorted colors.
The head remained silent.
For a long while.
And then another long while.
The broken head slowly spoke:
"Perhaps I want to disgust a few other fellow Daoists...look at me, I’m in such a state."
The head swayed, revealing the large wound on the entire head without concealing it.
Zhang Fusheng’s eyes flickered:
"Fellow Daoist means, helping me may displeasure other Supremes?"
The broken head smiled without speaking, without answering directly, instead said:
"Fellow Daoist Zhang, just remember one thing, you are yourself, and then you are anything else."
Zhang Fusheng’s pupils contracted, the Pangu Banner beside him swayed, the golden Buddha Body suffused with Heaven-Opening Sword Qi,
It was this phrase again.
The Wa Empress had said this to him, and now seeing East Emperor Taiyi, he also uttered these words to him...
This was not some mythical Celestial Emperor from past tales, this was the true highest divine form of Eastern Emperor, the opener of heaven and earth!
Zhang Fusheng spoke deeply:
"Senior, I still do not quite understand."
The head’s gaze was profound, peacefully said:
"In heaven and on earth, from ancient times to now, there have never been gratuitous gifts and blessings, everything has a reason, every blessing has a purpose."
Zhang Fusheng listened quietly, understanding the intent of this Heaven-Opening East Emperor’s words,
Was he referring to Supreme, Primordial, and also referring to the Wa Empress and the one in front of him self?
So.
The repeated blessings, what are they all for?
Zhang Fusheng asked bluntly, yet the head again fell into prolonged silence.
After a while.
The broken head opened its mouth, emitting a not loud, yet deafening sound, it spoke thusly:
"Does fellow Daoist Zhang know about Fruit Position?"
"I know."
Zhang Fusheng nodded:
"In terms of Daoism, the pinnacle of the Human Path is True Man, True Monarch, Celestial Venerate, Daluo, Supreme, and then Dao Fruit Position."
The head acknowledged with a hum:
"Indeed, among the seven Fruit Positions, the Dao Fruit is unattainable, Daluo transcends time, and if one wishes to attain the Supreme Fruit Position, besides cultivation, mana, virtue, and other aspects, there is one most crucial element."
