Secret Buyer

Especially the Hand Imbued with Cause and Effect, to some extent, it is absurdly perverse!

"The latter three forms: All Things are Void, Inverted Cause and Effect, Cause of All Results."

Zhang Fusheng murmured in a low voice:

"What power does All Things are Void possess?"

"Thirty thousand years, can I cultivate it?"

He held no hope; thirty thousand years, for ancient Immortals and Buddhas, was too short to possibly comprehend All Things are Void,

he needed to seek someone else to trade for better enlightenment.

"Come, Contract, let me see how far you can go!"

The orb of light merged with his body.

[In the first year, I began to study ’All Things are Void’]

[By the thousandth year, I had no clue about All Things are Void, but my attainment in the Dao of Cause and Effect grew deeper]

[In the fifth millennium, I was immersed day and night in the Dao of Cause and Effect, and I seemed to have a vague concept of All Things are Void]

[By the tenth millennium, I had grown numb, Cause and Effect, Cause and Effect, and more Cause and Effect; I almost turned into a demon every day in the Dao of Cause and Effect]

[Every few decades, I almost experienced ’transformation’ into the Dao, being assimilated by the Dao of Cause and Effect, but each time I was ’corrected’ back]

The Contract, absolutely correct.

Zhang Fusheng’s form repeatedly became illusory, each illusion representing [transformation into the Dao],

For normal beings, transformation into the Dao is the extreme manifestation of falling into a demon state, becoming one with the Dao they practice,

But this was not a good thing; those weaker than the corresponding [Dao] who transformed would merely become a part of the Dao, losing their self-will,

But Zhang Fusheng was different.

He had the Contract, which ensured absolute correctness.

Each time he directly transformed into the Dao of Cause and Effect, Zhang Fusheng’s understanding of the great Dao of Cause and Effect deepened,

Then he was immediately corrected, separated from the great Dao of Cause and Effect, returning to normal,

In this way, repeating every few decades, cycle after cycle.

[In the twentieth millennium, I had transformed into the Dao over two hundred times, I seemed to have found a Supreme shortcut]

[What it takes ordinary beings one hundred thousand, or even a million years to comprehend about Cause and Effect, I realized through my transformations in a mere ten thousand years!]

[I seemed to somewhat understand what All Things are Void means]

In the Eight Sceneries Palace, the surroundings of Zhang Fusheng began to become ’empty’.

A true emptiness in the literal sense, no matter, no rules, no space, not even time.

He sat poised in absolute nothingness, or rather, in the [absolute vacuum] before the birth of all things,

Unconsciously, a smile appeared on his face.

[In the twenty-fifth millennium, I touched the threshold of All Things are Void]

[This is an infinite marvelous technique that can temporarily restore the absolute vacuum before the creation of heaven and earth]

[It can also render oneself free of all Cause and Effect, not affected by any calculations.....]

[In the thirtieth millennium]

[Through two millennia of transformation into the Dao, at last, I had grasped the rudiments of ’All Things are Void’]

Thirty thousand years of time slipped away in an instant.

Zhang Fusheng opened his eyes, and the void around him suddenly dissipated,

Yet he remained seated, woodenly seated, utterly still.

"Cause and Effect..."

All causes and effects detached from Zhang Fusheng’s body, as All Things are Void, Cause and Effect also became void,

He was no longer weighed down by Cause and Effect, feeling an unprecedented ’lightness’,

Zhang Fusheng gently panted,

In his eyes, there was a deep void; the Great Sun Golden Lamp and Kunlun Yuxu were nowhere to be seen,

He sat positioned, sat positioned, suddenly rising from the meditation mat, spreading his hands.

In the palm of his hand, within its bounds.

All matter, all space, all concepts, all time.

Were ’repelled’ from the confines of his palm,

What he held was the absolute vacuum before the dawn of creation.

In an instant.

Zhang Fusheng began to wither, begin to desiccate—it consumed too much!

But in that instant.

He slumped, pressing the absolute vacuum in his grasp onto the ground of the Eight Sceneries Palace.

A palm-sized pit appeared on the ground—though it restored immediately after the hand moved away.

But that pit had undeniably existed.

"All Things are Void..."

The withered Zhang Fusheng once again sighed lightly.

In writing, this technique allows one to be free from all Cause and Effect, outside the Celestial Secret, immune to all calculations and gaze.

In martial arts, this technique can create an absolute vacuum, devoid of space, matter, concepts, and time, capable of shaking even the Eight Sceneries Palace!

"The Taiyi Chapter, the third technique, All Things are Void."

Zhang Fusheng devoured Jingpeng meat in large mouthfuls, his withered self rapidly recovering, a radiant smile spreading across his face.

"This is the Technique used by the Primordial Celestial Venerable to protect oneself..."

"Thirty thousand years..."

"Were it not for my repeated brief transformations into the Dao, even in thirty million, three hundred million years, I might not have touched the surface of this technique, much less learned it!"

"Yet I have learned it regardless."

Zhang Fusheng once again marveled at the terror of the Contract, that under absolute correctness, even a state of transformation could be reclaimed!

"Just right, I need to capture some Star Beasts, let me test what this technique can really do."

Zhang Fusheng murmured, thoughts returning to his original self, opening his eyes.

Then,

He stepped out of the hut, taking a second step off the faux Kunlun, and by the third step down,

He had already walked out of the Other Shore World, back to the World Plateau.

Scorching gazes descended from the sky, the gods bewildered—how did he simply walk out??

Zhang Fusheng closed his eyes, hands folded, sighing:

"All Things are Void."

Every gaze that fell upon him was ’erased’ without exception!

Free of Cause and Effect, untouched by the Celestial Secret, let alone the gazes?

Thus,

In the eyes of the gods, that World Venerate vanished into thin air.

They could ’see’ him, yet they also ’couldn’t see’ him,

Once their gaze shifted, they unconsciously forgot him.

All Things are Void, void in Cause and Effect, void in the Celestial Secret, and void in thoughts.

"Indeed..."

Feeling the terribly enormous consumption, Zhang Fusheng chewed on Jingpeng meat while barely maintaining the state of All Things are Void.

"Indeed, under All Things are Void, I am like the Eight Sceneries Palace."

"I have surpassed all limits of thought, transcending the fringes of all conceivable contemplation."

"This is ’void’!"

Zhang Fusheng withdrew the state of All Things are Void step by step—the consumption was too great, even for him now, it could only be sustained for a maximum of ten breaths before completely withering!

Consequently, the one after another gaze fell again, watching him,

These gazes, all of which were utterly horrified.

The gods remembered the World Venerate, and also that brief moment that couldn’t be seen, couldn’t be remembered, thoughts couldn’t touch it.

The divine spirits became silent.

"What method is this..." a white-haired elder murmured in a low voice, sweat breaking out on his forehead; clearly seen, yet unseen,

It surpasses thought entirely, unimaginable!

Contradictory, conflicting, strange, terrifying.

The Great Powers who originally intended to take action quietly stopped,

Silently watching the World-Honored One Buddha, who had been listed as a [high-risk Evil God] by the Federation,

Just like that, under countless watchful eyes, indifferently walking step by step into the great mist.

The howls of Star Beasts echoed from the mist, rising and falling continuously.
