Free Web NovelChapter 603: Chapter 360: Enacting the Four Symbols, Giving Birth to All Things—Today I Open the Heavens and Split the Earth Again! (Supplemental)
Tongtian Street.
The street lives up to its name; the people who reside here have the ability to reach the heavens.
The old man with the stall is the legitimate son of a Great Power, and the little boy licking a lollipop is the ninety-ninth son of a Great Divine Power User,
even the elderly woman sweeping the street has remarkable status, being the mother of a department head in the War Department—yet at this moment,
all these people with powerful backgrounds silently returned to their homes, watching quietly from behind their windows.
They all stared at the seemingly ordinary team walking down the long street.
"The God-Capturing Team... the Investigation Bureau’s God-Capturing Team."
A legitimate son of a Great Power murmured softly, his voice full of caution. The new maid beside him whispered a question:
"Master, what is the God-Capturing Team? I took a glance, and they all seem to be Venerates... but Venerates on the Floating Island aren’t really significant, are they?"
The legitimate son of a Great Power twitched his eyelids, speaking in a deep tone:
"Venerates indeed aren’t significant. There are quite a number of Venerates in the Imperial City, but the God-Capturing Team, its importance lies in authority."
"Authority?"
"Indeed!"
The old man took a deep breath, his face showing intense dread:
"In the Imperial City, Divine Spirits are forbidden from private battles; even if a real fight breaks out, formations must be set to conceal it. But the God-Capturing Team has the power adjudicated by the Chairman."
"They can investigate, capture, and even slay any Divine Spirit. Even though this God-Capturing Team consists of only Venerates, if they get harmed, the next team will be all Great Powers."
"If the troublemaker is a Great Divine Power User, the one who acts will be..."
The old man pointed to the distance, where the entire Floating Island was, at the center of the entire Imperial City.
"Then it will be the Chairman who acts."
Saying so,
this legitimate son of a Great Power shivered with dread:
"Three hundred years ago, the Investigation Bureau’s God-Capturing Team went to the Li family to capture a Great Power but was driven away by the Li family’s elder ancestor — a Great Divine Power User of extremely high seniority."
"On that day, the Chairman, while in seclusion, was moved, and thunderbolts descended from the heavens, reducing the entire Li family, along with their twin Divine Techniques, to dust." frёewebηovel.cѳm
The maid’s eyes widened, twin Divine Techniques... two Great Divine Power Users, gone just like that??
She swallowed hard, filled with fear:
"So with this God-Capturing Team, doesn’t the Investigation Bureau get to do whatever they want?"
"Not exactly, the God-Capturing Team also needs ’justification’ to capture a god — but these days, who doesn’t have something dirty on them?"
The old man shook his head, paused, and continued:
"Of course, the Investigation Bureau is indeed among the Nine Departments, second only to the Six Paths Department, equal to the Observatory!"
As he spoke, he quietly peered, smacking his lips:
"Looking at the direction, is this God-Capturing Team heading towards that ancient courtyard? At Tianlao’s place, there’s some fun to be seen..."
The maid curiously followed to glance, just in time to see the God-Capturing Team charging recklessly down the street,
wherever they passed, people, birds, and beasts scattered, none daring to block their way.
.........
Ancient Courtyard.
Looking from the outside, it seemed peaceful and quiet.
But once past the courtyard gate.
Collapse, collapse, collapse!
The purple lightning was clearly suppressed, yet still exuded an extremely tyrannical aura,
under its rampant influence, the overwhelming power surged like a tide,
the few people pinned against the round table, unable to move, only saw that most of the courtyard had been obliterated,
the void collapsed, leaving only emptiness!
The Zhang Family’s Guardian held a small gourd in one hand and raised a human bone aloft in the other, the mouth of the immortal gourd emitted immortal light,
faintly revealing a flying knife floating within, its mere presence already suppressed the fierce purple thunder!
Sweat trickled down Tianlao’s forehead, as they held a purple lightning hammer, trembling unconsciously in the face of the flying knife floating within the gourd,
He enunciated each word:
"What exactly does the Zhang Family intend?"
"To take the Immortal Sinking Sword."
Zhang Xueyu spoke calmly.
Tianlao glared fixedly at the Noble Lady Zhang:
"The Immortal Sinking Sword isn’t so easily taken."
"No matter."
Zhang Xueyu remained serene:
"Ancestral teachings state, bringing the Immortal Slaying Gourd can break the Pope’s laws, techniques, and treasures of the Intercepting Sect."
"Bringing this Other Shore Bone can make the unruly Immortal Sinking Sword completely submissive."
Zhang Fusheng blinked his eyes.
Huh?
Is the Other Shore Bone really that powerful??
He stared at the crystalline bone in the hands of the Guardian, looking it over repeatedly, convinced — it was indeed his Other Shore Bone.
Yet another strange occurrence emerged.
The Other Shore Bone, clearly still nurturing within his chest cavity, yet appeared in the hands of the Zhang Family’s Guardian—
And the only difference between the two Other Shore Bones even lay in ’time’.
The Other Shore Bone in the Guardian’s hand was evidently far more ancient!
It was millions upon millions of years older than his own Other Shore Bone.
Zhang Fusheng could clearly sense that bone being ’blood-bound’ with himself,
but when he attempted to delve into the cause and effect contained within the bone, it became unclear, inverted, and chaotic.
Once again the product of a reversed cause and effect, where effect precedes cause—no, more precisely,
just like those two Grim Skeletons, it was all a product of cause and effect from the Zhang Family.
But why does the Zhang Family possess such capabilities?
Zhang Fusheng couldn’t understand.
As his thoughts wandered, his pupils suddenly constricted.
Yes.
When celestial secrets are chaotic, cause and effect are inverted, it’s impossible to see the past, divine the future, or discern the present.
But what cannot be calculated by celestial secrets can still be reasoned through common sense—
Zhang Fusheng thought about Yang Erlang’s altering of the screen to inform him.
"Time..."
He stared at the two opposing figures within the collapsing void, his gaze suddenly brightening.
Yes.
Time.
He initially assumed that those two Great Power skeletons were products of reversed cause and effect manufactured by the Zhang Family,
but what if the entire Zhang Family was experiencing a reversal of cause and effect and a time disarray?
Zhang.
Deeply intertwined with his own cause and effect.
Together with the Other Shore Bone.
In Zhang Fusheng’s mind, a thunderclap roared, as he stared intensely at Zhang Xueyu, who stood with her hands behind her back.
