Secret Buyer

After a brief pause, Wusheng Laomu let out a breath:

"This gate, according to our speculations, is a crucial part of the Three Pristine Ones’ plan, likely related to the Tao Fruit they are pursuing."

"Oh?"

Zhang Fusheng narrowed his eyes:

"The Three Pristine Ones seek the Tao Fruit, isn’t the key on that Zhang Fusheng?"

Wusheng Laomu was not surprised that the Celestial Venerate knew about this,

after some thought,

she briefly explained:

"It is on Zhang Fusheng, but not only on Zhang Fusheng; it is even more behind this gate—or rather, in our theory, it is what lies beyond Zhang Fusheng combined with this gate that truly allows the Three Pristine Ones to step into the Tao Fruit."

Zhang Fusheng raised his eyebrows; these people didn’t know there are three gates, and thus couldn’t figure it out,

but he was well aware that if this gate indeed corresponds to the ’future’.....

The future, in essence, is the countless foams that arise at the end of the river of time,

the future has no fixed form, each foam represents a potential future.

Zhang Fusheng suddenly looked at the Female Immortal:

"You have mentioned ’our inference’ twice, who else is among us?"

Wusheng Laomu’s expression turned solemn, and she spoke in a low tone:

"There are many, including me, fifteen Daluo True Spirits currently setting a killing formation in the Netherworld."

"Also, the few Supreme Beings standing behind us."

"And my seeking you, fellow Daoist, to talk here, is greatly related to this matter."

Zhang Fusheng raised his eyebrows, a faint smile appeared on his face, and he cupped his hands:

"I ask Xiwangmu for guidance."

"You are polite, fellow Daoist; I am not Xiwangmu, but merely an incarnation of Xiwangmu, my memory does not connect with Xiwangmu’s."

Wusheng Laomu also returned the courtesy, then continued:

"It was created by five Supreme Beings: Fuxi, Maitreya, Amitabha, Bodhi, and Venerable Buddha: the [Sixteen True Realm Killing Formation]."

"This formation requires sixteen ancient or primordial beings to be perfect, now we have only fifteen, but with you, fellow Daoist, we can just reach the number of sixteen."

Zhang Fusheng asked:

"Who are these fifteen?"

"Apart from Guang Chengzi, eleven immortals from the Yuxu lineage, plus me, the Northern Emperor Ziwei."

"And the Great Sun Root Venerable Buddha and Medicine Master Glazed Radiance Tathagata."

Zhang Fusheng felt a shudder in his heart, these fifteen are among the strongest of the Daluo...

Laomu continued:

"Among them, the Northern Emperor, Great Sun Tathagata, and Medicine Master Tathagata are the primordial beings; and together with you, fellow Daoist, make four primordial beings, thus completing the Sixteen True Realm Killing Formation."

Zhang Fusheng asked:

"What is the purpose of this Sixteen True Realm Killing Formation? Although I have been confirmed as a primordial being, I am not yet Daluo, please enlighten me."

"No problem."

Wusheng Laomu replied calmly:

"This killing formation emphasizes the word ’time’, though called a killing formation, it is actually a trapping formation."

"Oh? It doesn’t kill that Zhang Fusheng, only traps him? Isn’t this giving the Three Pristine Ones a chance?"

"You are not aware, Celestial Venerate."

Wusheng Laomu’s face showed a faint smile:

"Since the True Realm Killing Formation requires the collaboration of five Supreme Beings in its creation, it is naturally extraordinary."

"This formation can penetrate the highs and lows of the river of time, can uncover ancient histories long sealed in dust, trapping the person in the formation within sealed histories—all the sealed histories."

Zhang Fusheng’s expression changed.

What are sealed ancient histories?

They are not merely the ancient past, but histories that have been invalidated by the Supreme Beings through countless contests!

These histories have truly occurred but have been buried, covered, and no longer exist in the fore and aft of the river of time, but at its very bottom!

Wusheng Laomu said calmly:

"From the first piece of ancient history to now, it has been altered countless times, burying more old affairs than one can count."

"And since the Three Pristine Ones currently hold the advantage, the buried, sealed histories are those where the Three Pristine Ones held the lesser hand, can you comprehend this, fellow Daoist?"

Zhang Fusheng came to an abrupt realization:

"Indeed, the unfavorable pasts were buried and covered, which allowed them to reach their current supreme status."

"Exactly so!"

Wusheng Laomu’s eyes gleamed:

"And with this True Realm Killing Formation, Zhang Fusheng can be trapped in the [True Realm]."

"That is—within the real yet dissipated remnants of history, and at that time, if the Three Pristine Ones wish to rescue Zhang Fusheng to continue proving the Tao Fruit?"

Wusheng Laomu let out a breath, raising her voice:

"Then they would first have to dredge out the unfavorable pasts they themselves sealed away!"

Zhang Fusheng came to a sudden understanding:

"Thus, even if Zhang Fusheng were truly rescued, the Three Pristine Ones would no longer hold the upper hand in battle, no longer be the strongest among the Supreme Beings?"

"Exactly."

Laomu smiled:

"In this way, would you, fellow Daoist, be willing to join us in completing this formation?"

She looked intently at the Celestial Venerate before her—as long as he refused, she was ready to act immediately to suppress him!

The matter of the True Realm Killing Formation must not be known to the Three Pristine Ones nor that Zhang Fusheng, and must not be leaked!

Zhang Fusheng lowered his gaze, smiled silently:

"Naturally willing."

Wusheng Laomu breathed a sigh of relief, just about to say something, when suddenly her spiritual sense frantically warned her, causing her to retreat swiftly!

But somehow, a small and exquisite Purple Gold Calabash had already blocked her path!

"Fellow Daoist, what do you intend?" Wusheng Laomu’s expression changed drastically, the Purple Gold Calabash...Celestial Lord of Tao and Virtue’s Purple Gold Calabash!!

A chill surged through her heart.

Zhang Fusheng quietly transformed into an immortal deer with the [Xiwangmu] and integrated their interdependent false timeline into real history,

but in his perception, no major cause and effect had emerged between him and Wusheng Laomu!
