immerse myself within myriad Dao]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[As for this year, nearly two hundred and sixty thousand years have passed]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nearly two hundred and sixty thousand years, a blink of an eye, it has already become the past.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fusheng is exceedingly tranquil, at this moment quietly seated on the meditation mat, with just a sigh,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The myriad Dao revolving wheel behind him is now emitting grand rays of light, the Great Divine Techniques of \"Shift Stars and Change Constellations\" and \"Flying Transformation\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Have silently engraved upon it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is this year, this month, this very moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two Great Divine Techniques, two Minor Achievement level Great Divine Techniques...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fusheng slowly rose from the meditation mat, yawned, and as he opened his eyes, an ocean of Dao and marvelous principles flickered before him,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He carried the myriad Dao revolving wheel, and his steps became extraordinarily heavy, stamping on the Eight Sceneries Palace’s floor tiles, which surprisingly resounded with a rumble!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Step by step, again and again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fusheng walked extremely slowly, extremely steadily, and when he stood at the entrance of the Taoist Palace, he breathed out gently with a sigh and smile on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sever myself, foster Dao.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He employed that secret technique of the Northern Emperor, contemplated an unparalleled celestial saber,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The celestial saber precisely stroked along the threads of Cause and Effect, severing them without breaking, like a lotus root breaking but remaining joined—this is the sole flaw in Severing Dao to foster me,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If there exists one deeply skilled in the wisdom of Cause and Effect, with careful insight, could possibly trace to the severed Dao body, discovering the location of one’s true self.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for Zhang Fusheng, this flaw is not considered a flaw at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He himself is indeed a true ’master’ within the Dao of Cause and Effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Accompanying Zhang Fusheng’s sharp rebuke, the World-Honored One Buddha detached from his true self—not the kind of detachment as in One Qi Becomes Three Pristine Ones,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The World-Honored One Buddha did not transform into another self of Zhang Fusheng,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after Severing Me, he entrusted it into Sword Dao, transforming into a Dao body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Dao body fully manipulated by the true self, sharing all powers with the true self, yet ironically unrelated to the true self.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If a strong being traces the origins of this Dao body, what they see is only Sword Dao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unless it is one at the level of Primordial Celestial Venerable of Supreme Cause and Effect, personally casting their gaze...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Zhang Fusheng did not intend to hide from those Supremes, what he needed to hide from, was merely the mundane world for now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this very moment,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the grass hut of Other Shore Mountain, the Dao body of the World-Honored One slowly opened his eyes, comfortably seated, summoned Lin Changle, instructed concerning the matter of going to Chang’an ten days later to bestow the Nine-Ring Scepter and brocade robe,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Zhang Fusheng?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He has quietly transformed, walking out of the Eight Sceneries Palace, returning from the Divine Realm to reality,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet descending outside the Other Shore World.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Flying Transformation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Great Divine Technique is initiated, he stands in the wilderness, stands upon the World Plateau, yet it is merely a trace of a silhouette,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A trace identical in power to the true self—what about the true self?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It has already disappeared from reality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elusive to trace, elusive to observe, elusive to decipher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Should I first visit the Capital, or first go to the ruins of Yingtian City, to that place called Windmill Village, seeking Liu Bang and Xiang Yu?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A youth with a vastly different appearance stands in the wilderness, dressed in coarse linen garments, wearing straw sandals, a bamboo hat on his head, muttering to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze is profoundly deep, lifting his head, watches the celestial vault, watches the starry sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Divine Technqiue, Shift Stars and Change Constellations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shift Stars and Change Constellations is both a formidable killing move as Heaven initiates machination, also a Marvelous Technique of Heaven’s secret and number,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this Great Divine Technique, it can take life, it can obscure, alter celestial secrets, even amend the \"fate\" of a creature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is the Great Divine Technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thirty-six Divine Techniques of Tiangang, each terrifyingly potent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fusheng now stands alone within the thick fog of the plateau, yet this fog cannot hinder his gaze, stars transform at will.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also concocts a perfect set of special celestial secrets, special past for his true self, real body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even encountering a mighty adept at divination, personally deducing this body, they would absolutely not trace to World-Honored One Buddha and Blessed Infinite Celestial Venerate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As for my name...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fusheng lowered his eyelids, contemplated briefly, then made a decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He muttered to himself:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"From today forth, I shall be called Daoist Venerable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Taking Dao as surname, Venerable as name.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thick fog all around sways in the wind, there seems to be thunder in the celestial vault above, yet the thunder swiftly falls silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The youth in coarse linen clothes stretched lazily, walking alone through the fog, walking atop the plateau, step by step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Only in ten days will the western journey formally commence, the Northern Emperor’s side need not be concerned for the meantime.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since Maitreya Buddha has not yet returned to position, Ling Mountain also finds difficulty in truly establishing, it is thus unnecessary to excessively engage with the Pantheon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fusheng muttered to himself, his gaze clear and bright,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>after mastering the Divine Technique of Shift Stars and Change Constellations, under the survey of celestial secrets, he glimpsed the new event of divine mandate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is the establishment of Ling Mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three Buddhas in place, Ling Mountain returns to position, likewise returning to position, are also many Celestial Positions within Ling Mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only until then, is the right time to formally incorporate the Pantheon into Ling Mountain!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I must hasten to find Lin Dongxi.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fusheng muttered to himself, gazing in the direction of the Capital, his gaze profoundly deep, amid the Capital’s blurred, obfuscated array even he cannot decipher thoroughly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He can vaguely perceive Chen Yuque is also there—yet cannot directly descend his Spiritual Will into her body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite Second Senior Sister now being his Divine Realm creation,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that array severs everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, how to enter the Capital without causing a stir, drawing attention?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fusheng troublingly scratched his head—the Capital isn’t just someplace one can go casually.\u003C\u002Fp>",1087,"2026-06-08T09:33:25.352Z",1,"novelbin.me","2b761de9f28ad4ac6ed105a11a7f6d71f44cc46ab38dbf7531e3ee0ce6bb24b4","secret-buyer-chapter-499","secret-buyer-chapter-497",547,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsecret-buyer-cover.jpg"]
