Secret Buyer

Stepping onto the bridge and continuing forward, it wasn't long before they approached a grand portal, shrouded in swirling Yin Fog, with three large black characters on it.

"Ghost Gate," Shi Tianming instinctively read aloud, his pupils shrinking. Merely gazing at this portal brought immense pressure!

In front of the gate sat a Gatekeeper, leisurely drinking tea.

"A guest comes to visit?"

Behind the Gatekeeper, the bamboo forest swayed. He took a large sip of Divine Tea, and purple Immortal Light surged from every pore of his body,

Those Immortal Lights gathered into a boundless sea, resembling a grand sun blazing in the sky!

He simply sat there, embodying all laws and principles, insurmountable.

"A Bodhisattva, a True Monarch?"

Shi Tianming and the Little Monk turned pale, realizing that even the Gatekeeper in the Other Shore World was of the Bodhisattva and True Monarch level?!

"Who brought you here, and for what purpose?"

The Gatekeeper asked indifferently, as a monk emerged from the bamboo forest, evidently another Gatekeeper.

The monk stepped forward, with each step blossoming into a golden lotus, his footsteps echoing like morning bells and evening drums, making everyone's heart tremble.

A mighty and boundless presence.

Silence reigned for a moment.

Lin Shiyu's forehead was dripping with sweat, Zhang Taishan dared not speak, and the two monks, one old and one young, were trembling with fear,

Yet at this moment, a pale-faced young man stepped forward, brazenly sat opposite the Gatekeeper, and, without any courtesy, picked up a teacup and took a sip.

The tea's fragrance spread through his entire body, and purple Immortal Light surged from his pores.

Zhang Fusheng praised:

"This Calming Tea made from purple bamboo leaves still tastes the same as back then... What about that child Yutu?"

The monk who emerged from the bamboo forest slightly furrowed his brow, while the seated Gatekeeper's expression changed, gently placing down the teacup:

"Who are you?"

Zhang Fusheng sized up Su Qiansuan, smiling warmly:

"How did you end up as a Gatekeeper? It's been a thousand years since we last met... But now I am who I am, yet not who I am, so it's normal that you don't recognize me."

He too gently set his teacup onto the stone table.

'Buzz!'

Ripples spread, with purple Immortal Light and flowing air currents collapsing into the teacup.

The Gatekeeper unknowingly stood up, standing shoulder to shoulder with the approaching Sandalwood Merit Buddha, even more cautiously,

The two powerful beings gazed at the mysterious youth, with the former asking once more:

"When have I met you before?"

"A thousand years ago," Zhang Fusheng calmly stated, "that year, I rode an ox westward out of Hangu City, with Yutu leading the ox, and you seeing me off from the bamboo forest."

Sandalwood Merit Buddha continued to frown, while Shi Tianming and the others listened in confusion,

As for Su Qiansuan.

His expression immediately changed, his voice trembling slightly:

"Is it... is it you?"

Shi Tianming felt his scalp tingle, a figure at least of the Bodhisattva, True Monarch level, was speaking with honorifics!

Lin Shiyu and Zhang Taishan's gazes towards the youth completely transformed, as if after waking from a coma, he underwent an earth-shattering change—had he truly awakened to his past wisdom?

In his previous life, what kind of person was he??

In the silence, Zhang Fusheng looked at Su Qiansuan and simply placed a finger on his lips:

"Shh."

He then looked towards the Other Shore World, inside the portal, with his gaze faintly seeing the Other Shore Mountain, observing the Immortal Light surging and divine brilliance spreading there.

Evidently, Meng Ahnan had descended there.

"Interesting." Zhang Fusheng commented, "But it's not lively enough yet... Old Su, could you trouble yourself to go to the upper realm, meet the Ten Elders, and deliver my Decree."

"Announce to the world, that..."

"The Tao Fruit is to be born today in the Other Shore World."

"I wish to see how many fellow cultivators it can attract?"

The light voice fell, and in the astonished gaze of Sandalwood Merit Buddha, Su Qiansuan bowed and saluted:

"I receive the Decree."

He was most respectful.
