Secret Buyer

"So it is."

"My Dao is about to be complete."

With a deep sigh, Zhang Fusheng slowly opened his eyes. When he looked at the three Supreme beings again—he had already become as ancient as they were.

He had equally transcended the concept of the "Oldest Ones."

He witnessed all, participated in everything.

The expressions of the three Supreme beings slightly condensed, appearing to understand that this Fellow Daoist Fusheng had undergone some unimaginable great transformation,

attaining what only Supremes could with the cultivation level of a True Saint, experiencing all the sealed histories, witnessing all existence and nonexistence!

It was very peculiar, but due to various fortuitous chances, he actually achieved it.

"From this moment on..."

In Maitreya Buddha’s hand, a rosary appeared at some unknown time. "Fellow Daoist Fusheng, in some sense, can be considered as possessing half of the Supreme Fruit Position."

He murmured softly, his eyebrows growing darker—half of the Supreme Fruit Position, albeit not representing equivalent great power,

but like the Northern Emperor and others, who were also half-Supreme, possessed abilities beyond ordinary Daluo, lacking only that ’half’ like this Fellow Daoist Fusheng.

That is.

Witnessing and experiencing all sealed history.

A True Saint wishing to prove the Taiyi Fruit Position must simultaneously reflect the self across the myriad worlds, so that in every world there exists another of oneself;

To prove Daluo from the Taiyi Fruit Position, one must first become an ancient being, tracing a bit of one’s True Spirit back to the times before ages, leaving a mark at the dawn of time—

This is why many Innate Ancestral Spirits can easily become Daluo after birth; they have innately fulfilled this condition.

And at the level of Daluo, wanting to prove the Supreme Fruit Position?

Shakyamuni Buddha sighed with a Buddha’s Name, "Witness all present history, tracing Dao imprints back to before the dawn of Heaven, to achieve the status of the oldest; this is the first."

"Transcend one’s power beyond the limits of Daluo; this is the second."

"Then witness and experience all sealed ages, achieve the final and crucial link, only then can one begin to prove the Supreme..."

In practice, for all top-tier Daluo, what stops them is not the first two conditions, which are relatively easy to achieve,

The true difficulty lies in experiencing all the sealed ages.

First, you must have the power to enter, then under normal circumstances, receive the approval of ordinary Supremes,

And the last, most crucial point,

entering the sealed ages, one must have a way to exit...

This is why through the vast ages, amidst the countless cycles of the universe’s birth and extinction, only a dozen or so Supreme beings have emerged.

Shakyamuni Buddha sighed again, with complex emotions.

As he sighed,

Zhang Fusheng captured everything he had experienced, the countless illusory timelines and numerous fictitious ancient histories he personally lived in the Map of Mountains and Rivers,

and seized them all at once!

Time and days vibrated, ancient vicissitudes churned.

Holding infinity in his hand, and then—

All of this was pressed into the Divine Realm by Zhang Fusheng, merging into the Three Realms!

Numerous versions of phantom history were enacted one by one in the Divine Realm, fused with the Different Dimension, or rather fused with the "Old World!"

The Divine Realm, fused with the "Different Dimension" or the "Old World," and suppressed by the Six Paths of Reincarnation, already showed signs of evolving into the complete Great Heaven and Earth,

And now, with the addition of infinite timelines, even if illusory, they still intertwined into a long river of time within the Divine Realm!

Thus—

Within the Divine Realm, there is complete time, complete sequence, and an endless array of historical branches.

It resembles the Great Heaven and Earth of the past more and more.

Zhang Fusheng did not conceal any of this, all transformations occurred under the very noses of the three Supreme beings,

The Eastern Emperor’s brow twitched:

"Fellow Daoist Fusheng seems to be plotting something grand... Could it be that Fellow Daoist Fusheng intends to incorporate the external real universe into the Divine Realm, forming a truly fundamental Great Heaven and Earth?"

"This method might indeed allow Fellow Daoist Fusheng to rise immediately, directly escaping the Three Pristine Ones’ dominion... but I will speak frankly."

After a pause, the flickering stars above the Eastern Emperor’s head swayed, and two identical grand sounds rose and fell, "Regardless of the Three Pristine Ones, even other Supremes including us three would not allow you to accomplish this."

As the words fell.

The young man turned his head and smiled:

"So that’s how I can directly escape the Three Pristine Ones’ dominion?"

The Eastern Emperor’s expression froze.

"I need to leave."

Zhang Fusheng stretched lazily, speaking peacefully:

"I have to complete the last few steps, to prove the Celestial Venerate, to prove Daluo."

The Eastern Emperor was silent, Shakyamuni frowned, Maitreya looked up.

Shakyamuni Buddha softly asked:

"Daoist, even though matters have come to this point, up to this moment, do you still refuse to say anything?"

Zhang Fusheng saluted them, smiling:

"Three Fellow Daoists, as always... cannot speak."

Shakyamuni Buddha’s brow furrowed deeper yet:

"But to leave this place, Daoist must leave a Daluo-level Dao mark in the external world... yet Daoist isn’t even a Daluo."

"Naturally, I have my own way."

As the words fell, Zhang Fusheng closed his eyes, sitting cross-legged in place, his body reflecting infinite exotic scenes,

cause and effect, past, present, future, Dao, reason, technique...

Suddenly he became completely still.

As if he had already wandered beyond to the uncharted land, as if his self-will had already transcended, no longer in the sealed ages.

"Is he still there?" The Eastern Emperor frowned and asked, while the other two Supremes just shook their heads.

Unknown.

This Fellow Daoist Fusheng... truly grows more and more mysterious.

How interesting.

.........

Nine Netherworld.

Amidst the true Nine Netherworld.

The Nine Netherworld did not enter the Netherworld with the Northern Emperor, nor did it fall into sealed history, but still remained within the Maitreya Celestial Position in Yin Chang’an.
