Secret Buyer

"In that Other Shore World."

With these words, the Grand Director calmly nodded:

"I know."

The Deity was slightly taken aback and cautiously asked:

"Should we awaken His Excellency, the Speaker?"

"Go ahead and try, that old undead thing might not wake up."

Saying this, the Grand Director waved his hand and watched the Deity respectfully retreat. In this profound place, only He remained.

He stood quietly, listening to the countless wails of soul spirits in the Six Paths Prison, then suddenly lowered his eyelids.

This majestic figure murmured to Himself:

"The beginning of the westward journey... Who exactly are you? Your appetite is indeed too big, having assumed the role of Tathagata to lead the westward journey, still wanting to gain from Divine Enthronement?"

"Which fellow Daoist is it?"

He closed His eyes, and in the obscurity, could see nothing clear.

There was fog blocking the view—not just one layer.

"It wouldn’t be Shakyamuni Tathagata."

"Nor does it seem like the Supreme."

"Which fellow Daoist is it really..."

In the lowered eyes of the Grand Director, a deep sense of apprehension flashed—

The Celestial Stele erected by the former Emperor Tang couldn’t stop Him at all, but He was unwilling to test it, as it was too dangerous.

"Yu Qing? Shang Qing?"

"That’s not right; there seems to be the shadow of Wa as well."

"Let’s see if that old undead will make a reckless move." The Grand Director muttered to Himself, His gaze piercing through this deep place, staring towards the closed retreat of the ’old friend.’

It could be seen that the Deity had gone to report,

But the old undying creature did not step out—evidently, thinking along the same lines as He did.

"Coward!"

The Grand Director snorted coldly, then turned His eyes towards the World Plateau, towards the Other Shore World.

The more He gazed, the more apprehensive He became.

Shakyamuni Tathagata, the Supreme, Primordial, Wa...

The shadows of these fellow Daoists could all be seen on that person to some extent.

But which one specifically?

It was impossible to know.

"Forget it, forget it."

He sighed lightly, anxiety-filled, and then once again went back to sleep.

.........

In the Other Shore World, within High Heaven City.

Many celestial humans on the pseudo-Kunlun Mountain had quietly descended from the nine-hundred-zhang Divine Mountain, as did Hu Zhongli and others who voluntarily went down,

On the mountain top, only Lin Changle remained, standing sincerely.

Inside the thatched hut.

Zhang Fusheng, while examining various items in the Contract, turned his head to ask:

"Wa, what are you doing?"

Wa, coiled with her serpent body on the ground, lifted her head and said softly:

"I am learning."

"Learning?" Zhang Fusheng was surprised.

"Yes."

Wa’s gaze was pure, like that of a newborn infant—in a sense, she was indeed a newborn infant.

She said:

"I am learning from so many people; they have taught me many things."

"Federation... Different Dimension..."

Zhang Fusheng was startled:

"Who specifically??"

"People." Wa answered softly: "All the ’people.’"

Zhang Fusheng widened his eyes, faintly having a terrible guess, whether everything known by ’people,’

Wa, knows them all??

He asked this question and received Wa’s affirmative response.

Wa spoke softly:

"Not everyone, though; some people did not ’tell’ me what they know—for example, you."

She paused and then calmly asked:

"You seem to have a layer of fog on you, blocking everything... Come to think of it, how should I address you?"

"Is it Father God, or child?"

Zhang Fusheng scratched his head; indeed, it was a good question.

At this moment, his relationship with Wa—with this Wa was very complex. In some sense, each was both the ’creator’ and the ’child’ of the other.

After thinking for a while, Zhang Fusheng said:

"You can just call me by my name; I will also just call you Wa."

"Alright then."

Wa nodded and tilted her head:

"Can I continue my learning now?"

Zhang Fusheng nodded, watching Wa close her eyes again, seemingly absorbing endless information.

"This terrifying capability..."

He marveled, contemplating briefly whether to acquire this ability—only to dismiss the idea immediately.

The massive cause and effect of the Heaven and Earth Chessboard had nearly overwhelmed him to death several times,

The knowledge of all ’people’?

That amount of information was not something he could bear.

At least not as he was now.

As for why Wa was fine?

Zhang Fusheng thought she not bearing it would indeed be strange.

"Seven thousand years of main cultivation, seven thousand years of spiritual cultivation, and thirty thousand years of technique training and ’Fire Eyes Golden Gaze’..."

Zhang Fusheng sat cross-legged, temporarily casting myriad concerns aside,

He immersed himself in the Divine Realm, back to the Eight Sceneries Palace. After more than a month, it was almost time to re-open High Heaven,

But he could wait a little longer, wait a little longer.

Zhang Fusheng did not touch the two sets of seven thousand years of cultivation—at this moment, they were either useless or too wasteful.

He could not Ascend to God now, and spiritual cultivation would span seven thousand years within the Divine Realm,

Using it now would be somewhat wasteful.

He needed to capture some Star Beasts, try breeding them to maximize benefits.

With this thought, Zhang Fusheng took out the thirty thousand years of technique cultivation and began contemplating.

"The Great Sage Equal to Heaven Scripture must not be cultivated."

"The only worthwhile ones are the Heaven-Opening Chapter and Taiyi Chapter of the Primordial Ancient Scripture..."

Zhang Fusheng pondered; for the Heaven-Opening Chapter, he had already learned Heaven and Earth Reversal and Chaos Seal, and had only begun the Third Form of the Pangu Banner, developing a wisp of Heaven-Opening Sword Qi.

"The current problem is that a wisp of Heaven-Opening Sword Qi seems to be my current limit. Even if the Pangu Banner is fully cultivated, I cannot manifest it."

"In this sense, only the Taiyi Chapter remains."

The first two techniques of Taiyi, Cause and Effect Parallel and Hand Imbued with Cause and Effect, both have brought me great benefits,
