Secret Buyer

The golden light was about to pierce into the Different Dimension, to stir the sea of clouds there!

But likewise.

The consumption was terrifyingly large, not quite as much as the state of All Things are Void, but not far from it either!

Zhang Fusheng immediately closed his eyes, concealing the Fire Eyes Golden Gaze.

"These eyes..."

He whispered to himself, realizing that this was not a simple divine technique of sight; these eyes themselves were a supreme weapon of attack!

"It’s as if All Things are Void is just the norm for the Primordial Celestial Venerable, similarly, the Fire Eyes Golden Gaze is just ’normal’ for the Great Sage Equal to Heaven."

"But that’s for them... for me, the consumption upon activation is astonishingly large!"

Zhang Fusheng kept his eyes closed, quietly sensing these eyes, able to feel the boundless power hidden within the Fire Eyes Golden Gaze.

He recalled the myth where the stone monkey was born. Just as it was born and opened its eyes,

there were two beams of golden light, shooting straight into the Star Palace—those beams of golden flames even shot up to the Celestial Court, up to the Milo Celestial Palace!

But since then, in the mythical stories, the monkey never displayed a similar divine technique again.

"In the stories, did the golden flames charging into the Star Palace embody the vast power hidden in the depths of today’s Fire Eyes Golden Gaze?"

Zhang Fusheng’s mind raced, but he could only make a vague guess.

He calmed himself, deliberately reined in the Fire Eyes Golden Gaze, and when he opened his eyes again, there was no golden sea surging out,

but the view he beheld was still different.

The thick fog of the World Plateau was no obstacle at all; when he looked up, he could faintly observe the continuous Different Dimension,

it was just too far away to be seen clearly,

and when he looked down, his gaze could penetrate the Profound Yellow Land, the Cosmic Star Sea, and he could glimpse the void beyond the grand universe,

there, Zhang Fusheng saw one universe and ancient world after another floating in the great void!

This was while the Fire Eyes Golden Gaze was restrained.

This was still without Zhang Fusheng being able to fully activate these eyes—

He even wondered if the monkey had ever truly activated these eyes?

"Fire Eyes Golden Gaze..."

Zhang Fusheng murmured, immediately arising with great doubts, given such enormous and unimaginable power within the Fire Eyes Golden Gaze,

why would there be two pairs?

He had obtained one pair from the Pope of the Pantheon.

Yet there was another pair, hidden within the predestined events—waiting for Chen Nuanyu’s heart to nurture a Western Sect Venerate for forty-nine days,

that Western Sect Venerate would obtain another pair of Fire Eyes Golden Gaze!

The doubts arose, but Zhang Fusheng quickly suppressed them,

he once again explored the cause and effect of his previous ambush, tracing it back.

This time,

the foggy mist of cause and effect could no longer obscure Zhang Fusheng’s vision.

He saw,

at that time, the assailant indeed resembled Li Xiuyuan, vaguely, with a hand seemly plunged into a massive scroll,

Zhang Fusheng could even see that the content of the scroll was ’in progress’, like a movie screen, wherein the scene was the very plane from before.

He saw,

Li Xiuyuan reaching into the scroll, first grappling the plane to shake it, then picking up stones from the ground to throw at the plane!

Just like what had happened before.

"Strange..."

Within Zhang Fusheng’s eyes floated the golden sea and the Great Sun Golden Lamp, reflecting fine star lines of cause and effect, in a manner unfathomable.

"A picture scroll, yet it reveals a real world, and he reaches into the scroll as if like a creator, manipulating everything within at will..."

"What is that scroll?"

Zhang Fusheng realized it must be a Supreme Treasure, perhaps famously known in mythological stories.

He then observed closely at the one labeled ’Li Xiuyuan’ in the cause and effect reflection,

discovering a heavy aura of youthful inexperience on this person’s face, completely different from the Li Xiuyuan he had seen before!

"These are two different people."

Zhang Fusheng concluded.

The shell may be the same, but what’s inside, however, is not.

So...

"Li Xiuyuan, was he replaced?"

"Then who is the current Li Xiuyuan...?"

As his thoughts turned and twisted, the golden sea in Zhang Fusheng’s eyes gradually dimmed, reverting to normal eyes.

He refined Lin Changle’s body, even imbuing her with his true blood, forging a pinnacled foundation for her,

transforming her from a mere Martial Artist to a Grandmaster in the blink of an eye!

"Regarding the matter of the fingerprints, consider it a meritorious deed for you."

Zhang Fusheng calmly instructed, watching Lin Changle descend from the mountain, then striding into the thatched hut.

"Wa."

Zhang Fusheng called, Wa, coiling on the ground, opened her eyes in confusion:

"Zhang Fusheng, what’s wrong?"

Wa purely asked.

"Since you know what humans know, and see what humans see... do you know this object?"

Zhang Fusheng spoke gently, eyes reflecting divine light, manifesting the past scenery traced from cause and effect.

Wa looked at the virtual scene and saw the scroll within.

She nodded:

"I recognize it."

Zhang Fusheng’s eyes suddenly brightened, she truly recognized it?

Before he could inquire, he heard Wa continue:

"However, I didn’t know it from the knowledge humans taught me; I saw it and just knew it—it’s like I was meant to know."

Zhang Fusheng was taken aback, not fully understanding Wa’s words, instinctively asked:

"What is it?"

Wa softly spoke:

"When I saw it, I naturally knew."

"It’s called the Map of Mountains and Rivers."

Zhang Fusheng’s eyes widened in astonishment.
