sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gods’ gaze pierced through the sword-light divided celestial canopy, once again seeing the scene from the Other Shore World,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and also witnessed the ancient figure wielding a long sword, battling against the ’Star Beast’.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, it’s not a Star Beast!\" The white-haired old man suddenly realized: \"Star Beasts don’t have wisdom, they only act on instinct, how could this be??\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A multitude of eyes looked over,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>all saw that true dragon roaring, stirring up a storm, its five claws glowing, commanding the vapor across millions upon millions of miles!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This dragon clearly possesses self-awareness!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, just now, a Tao Scripture suddenly appeared in the sky, dimming the Celestial Stele for a brief moment...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gods exchanged bewildered glances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, within the Other Shore World.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ancient figure was dull, clearly not truly awakened, just a hint of Spiritual Light holding the sword, obeying the ’Human Emperor’s Will’, ascending to the heavens to slay the dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It instead seemed like a mindless Star Beast, acting on instinct.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This rise and fall,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ancient figure gripping the Dragon-slaying Sword was locked in a stalemate with the true dragon, both engaged in fierce battle, unable to determine the winner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuan Mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who are you really?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Feiniao saw the Immortal Shadow speak in a low tone, watched the youth carrying the vague great seal with a smile:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems nothing can be asked now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a pause, Zhang Fusheng spoke indifferently:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The trump card of the Wei Family is the shadow of Wei Zheng within the Dragon-slaying Sword, but what is the trump card of the Yuan Family?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Immortal Shadow cautiously retreated, Yuan Tiandao’s expression was tense, staring at the youth standing with hands behind his back,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The opponent gave him an extraordinarily terrifying pressure, a spiritual sense frantically warning!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This fellow..... what is his origin?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is it because of the Central Pole Sect Leader behind him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the deathly silence,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fusheng still maintained a smiling appearance, but his gaze was incredibly profound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His own spiritual sense was also warning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he couldn’t discern the cause and origin of the true dragon, he sensed keenly that this was an Earth Deity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first thought Zhang Fusheng had was the Ancestor of Land Immortals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or rather, Ancestor of Earth Immortals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ancestor of Earth Immortals, inherently worshiped by all Earth Deities, similar to Emperor Houtu Earth Deity, overseeing the land and Earth Deities,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>now a true dragon appears in the world, and is an actual Earth Deity that shouldn’t exist in this era...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ancestor of Land Immortals most likely descended into the mundane world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This true dragon is probably here to test the waters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sense of urgency rises in Zhang Fusheng’s heart, since the opponent can suppress the Celestial Stele, they can naturally enter the Other Shore World directly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is he a match for them?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fusheng was uncertain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter what, he hadn’t truly stepped into the Venerate domain, though he could fight and suppress ordinary Venerates,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>but facing a Great Divine Power User’s Divine Descent, facing someone holding the Earth Book and possessing the Great Celestial Position?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fusheng reached out to Old Bull, inquiring about the Ancestor of Land Immortals—after all, they once waged divine wars, and were mortal enemies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Ancestor of Land Immortals, this person is very enigmatic, possessing a unique Supreme Treasure, nearly standing in an innately unbeatable place.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Bull’s voice echoed in Zhang Fusheng’s mind:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When I fought against them before, it was because this old unkillable thing was constantly plotting to suppress and refine me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But fortunately, although this old unkillable thing is innately unbeatable, even True Saints and suspected Fifth Realm of the Divine Path Celestial Venerates or Buddhas find it helpless,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>his own methods of combat are quite ordinary, I couldn’t deal with him, and he also found it difficult to suppress me... hence I often disgusted him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While listening to every word of Old Bull, Zhang Fusheng’s expression became more somber, since an Earth Deity has appeared in the world,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This fellow has most likely brought the Earth Book into the mortal realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, even if it’s just an avatar, it is innately undefeated, he himself has no ability to break the Earth Book’s defenses... right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As thoughts spun and twirled,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fusheng suddenly felt a bit dazed, as if all this was predestined—he was destined to form a great enmity with the Ancestor of Land Immortals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was destined to confront this person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Five Mansions Temple was inherently a landmark event on the journey west.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Destiny...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He whispered, raising his head, looking at the fearful Immortal Shadow and Yuan Tiandao, suddenly finding them mundane,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally glanced at the sky at the still battling true dragon and ancient figure,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fusheng said calmly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who I truly am, you two will soon find out—since you two won’t reveal your secrets to me, then I shall discover them myself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ascension to God is imminent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He must find Yuan Feidao, obtain the Sea-Stabilizing Divine Needle Iron from this ancestor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the other party is hidden, then force them out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fusheng was certain, Yuan Feidao’s plans were not merely for Ascension to God, surely linked closely with Thousand-Mile Zhaoling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore.....\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Demolish this Zhaoling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Exhaling a breath of turbid air, Zhang Fusheng’s gaze moved beyond Yuan Tiandao and Wei Bushi’s formed Immortal Shadow,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze paused on Yellow Teeth Old Man, Ruan Yutu, and others before finally landing on Li Xiuyuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Li Xiuyuan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Xiuyuan was slightly stunned, narrowed his eyes, spoke in a deep voice:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you know me, sir?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fusheng’s voice was solemn, akin to a morning bell or evening drum, or like a startling blow!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am right before you, and yet can’t you recognize me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kasyapa, look at me again!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the booming sound, Zhang Fusheng gave a Flower-picking Smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No manifestations, no Buddha’s Light, no Brahma Sound resonating, he simply gave a Flower-picking Smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Xiuyuan’s head buzzed, his nape tingling, immediately understanding who the person before him was!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr. Zhang... this is Zhang Fusheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is the World Venerate!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Xiuyuan’s heart beat wildly, had the other party not seen through his disguise?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did he truly consider him to be Kasyapa?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thoughts churned, and without hesitation, he prostrated himself, amidst the bewildered gazes of others, calling out:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Disciple greets Master!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was Master, and also World Venerate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fusheng gently stepped forward, reached out, and lightly patted Li Xiuyuan’s head thrice,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He spoke in a somber tone:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"From today onwards, you shall be Kasyapa.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Xiuyuan’s heart quivered, what does this mean?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could react, he saw the youth already turning to leave, leaving behind a light statement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When the robe and Zen Staff are bestowed, perhaps then you can be candid with me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Before becoming Kasyapa, who do you truly are?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Compassion.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fusheng walked away with Lin Changle, without looking back, out of Yuan Mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was going to Zhaoling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was going to demolish Zhaoling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their figures faded, Li Xiuyuan rose from the ground, his expression both horrified and contemplative.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t a fool, he’d discerned the implied meaning in Zhang Fusheng’s words, and this World Venerate’s underlying intention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The World-Honored One Buddha... seems to not truly wish for the return of the real Venerable Kashyapa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was inviting me, truly inviting me to replace Venerable Kashyapa, inviting me... to cooperate?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But why?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Xiuyuan was baffled and couldn’t understand. At what point did the other party see through his true form?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>World Plateau.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ancestor of Earth Immortals slowly lifted his eyelids, his thoughts no longer attached to the True Dragon, and spoke in a deep voice:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I saw Zhang Fusheng. He did not reveal the form of the World Venerate, but he indeed possesses techniques beyond expectation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paused for a moment,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>this middle-aged man holding the Earth Book squinted his eyes, thinking of the scene he had just witnessed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That Zhang Fusheng, with a command, summoned an ancient-looking figure, wielding a sword, to fight against the Earth Spirit he had personally decreed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The True Dragon is at the Venerate level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fusheng summoned a Venerate with a single word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Interesting, truly interesting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After pondering for a moment,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the Ancestor of Earth Immortals looked at the three people beside him and spoke serenely:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have agreed to cooperate with you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Linzhu’s face blossomed with a smile, and he spoke softly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Other Shore World has undoubtedly become the stronghold of the World-Honored One Buddha. Although you have the ability to suppress that Celestial Stele, entering the core for a hunt is still somewhat...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ancestor of Earth Immortals interrupted:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can only suppress the Celestial Stele temporarily, and at most allow creatures at the level of the Venerate to enter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Linzhu paused for a moment, unaffected:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No worries, we were not planning to hunt in the core. Now we are in the dark, and the World-Honored One Buddha is in the light.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My idea is to lure Him out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ancestor of Earth Immortals raised an eyebrow:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With what to lure Him out?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Linzhu’s smile faded, he extended a hand, and light began to surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With this item.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He spoke in a deep voice:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It originates from decades ago, from the day all gods of the Ling Mountain system fell, from Ling Mountain’s Supreme Treasure.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ancestor of Earth Immortals gazed at the Supreme Treasure in Guo Linzhu’s hand, his face showing a look of surprise,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>after a while, he sighed softly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This item ended up in your hands, in a Different Dimension, we’ve been pursuing it for a long time... I almost feel like taking it by force.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Linzhu’s expression remained unchanged, just chuckling,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>then calmly put away this special Supreme Treasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other Shore World, Thousand Mile Mountain Ranges.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chang’an Town nestled against the continuous Jiuzong Mountain Range, beneath which is buried the Thousand-Mile Zhaoling Mausoleum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yiyi and Luo Cheng followed behind the scruffy old man, panting as they escaped from Chang’an Town,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>they looked up at the sky, where a True Dragon was battling an ancient-looking figure, their fight threatening to topple heaven and earth!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Terrifying...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yiyi shrank her neck, looking at the scruffy old man beside her:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Old man, can you really help us open my ancestor’s grand tomb?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Naturally.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scruffy old man replied with a smile, and Li Yiyi and Luo Cheng exchanged a skeptical glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half a month ago, this scruffy old man had suddenly sought them out, revealing Li Yiyi’s hidden great secret—a tomb of her ancestors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He even claimed he could help her open the grand tomb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment of silence, Li Yiyi employed the Qi Observation Technique, looking toward this thousand-mile mountain range, where purple aura soared ceaselessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She licked her lips:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When can we open the tomb?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scruffy old man shook his head, speaking serenely:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Celestial Secret indicates the old traces will appear on February 9th. It’s not impossible to open the tomb earlier, but it’s difficult, very difficult.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yiyi curiously asked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, there is a way, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, there is.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scruffy old man nodded serenely, with a long sigh:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But as I said, it’s extremely difficult.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yiyi and Luo Cheng exchanged glances, the former couldn’t help but press further:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can you tell us what exactly is the method?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She pointed upwards, daring not to look, as she was using the Qi Observation Technique. If she looked at those two terrifying beings in the sky, she would...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not go blind, but her eyes would hurt for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scruffy old man pondered, seeming to hesitate, then finally spoke:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I only know there is a method, but specifically? You must ask Old Yuan. To be honest, it was Old Yuan who sent me to find you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yiyi was taken aback:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who is Old Yuan?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scruffy old man chuckled, his face suffused with a sense of nostalgia:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Old Yuan, he’s no ordinary man.

I won’t hide it, both he and I are remnants of the Ling Mountain system.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yiyi and Luo Cheng looked at each other, even more confused. Remnants of Ling Mountain? How is it related to her ancestors?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She couldn’t help but ask:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then, where is Old Yuan now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scruffy old man smiled:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He used a Supreme Treasure to enter your ancestor’s grand tomb.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three question marks appeared on Li Yiyi’s forehead:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What???\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scruffy old man nodded with a smile:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Old Yuan said there’s no need to hide it from you... it’s this item.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He extended his hand, brushing through his hair to pull out a golden needle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yiyi leaned closer, curiously examining the golden needle, instinctively asking:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scruffy old man replied calmly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sea-Stabilizing Divine Needle Iron.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As his words fell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A voice of praise sounded—\"To think I searched hard only to find it effortlessly...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three of them suddenly tensed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where did the voice come from??\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They simultaneously turned their heads, to see the void gently torn open, and a pair of young boys and girls emerging from within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Zhang??\" Li Yiyi exclaimed in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fusheng didn’t answer, smiling, his gaze focused intently on the golden needle in the scruffy old man’s hand, his eyes shining brightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sea-Stabilizing Divine Needle Iron, Gold Cudgel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could reach into a Different Dimension—a treasure allowing instant Ascension to God.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mercy, mercy!\" he softly praised, but the scruffy old man grabbed Li Yiyi and Luo Cheng, turned around, and ran!\u003C\u002Fp>",2290,"2026-06-08T09:33:25.352Z",1,"novelbin.me","c6ff5a276b9cb7049e971411b7e0c98de70f2ba008b6031695787bbf813af105","secret-buyer-chapter-448","secret-buyer-chapter-446",547,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsecret-buyer-cover.jpg"]
