Secret Buyer

Chapter 657: Chapter 382: _3

Zhang Wentian looked up and down at Zhang Fusheng, a strange light appearing in his eyes:

"May I know your honorable surname and name, brother?"

"I also have the surname Zhang, and I’m called Zhang Daosheng."

"So we’re from the same family!"

Zhang Wentian folded his fan, smiling warmly:

"Since Brother Daosheng is from the same family and traveling alone, why not join me as a companion? To be honest, Brother Daosheng, from the Qingcheng Zhang family, only I have come."

He smiled wryly.

Zhang Fusheng raised his brows slightly, feeling a subtle stir within — this was quite unusual.

A little fellow, what ability or virtue did he have to stir his own mind?

Quite intriguing.

"Since Brother Wenti invites, how could I dare refuse?"

"Good, good, good!"

Zhang Wentian repeatedly praised, a flash of depth passing in his eyes, discreetly touching the wooden carving in his arms while quietly asking in his heart:

"Senior, is there anything strange about this person?"

An ancient voice echoed in his mind:

"This person’s fortune is the most profound I have seen in my life... Fortune of the Human Path! A grand momentum of the Human Path! Almost dazzling like flames!"

After a pause, the ancient voice continued:

"If you can take the grand momentum and fortune of the Human Path from him, perhaps you can reforge my old body."

While chatting with ’Zhang Daosheng,’ Zhang Wentian asked inwardly:

"Senior, should I use the Map of Mountains and Rivers, alter this man’s past, and make him loyal to me?"

"No rush."

The voice of the old-world True Spirit within the wooden carving echoed in the young man’s mental world:

"Let me observe this person first, how does he possess such a strong fortune of the Human Path?"

The ancient voice was somewhat incredulous:

"Even when I was the Human Sovereign, I did not possess such a vigorous fortune. If I could truly obtain his fortune and momentum..."

"Perhaps, I could not only reforge my old body but also, with the help of Kong Shentong who you cooperate with, transform from an old master of the Human Path to a new master of the Celestial Court!"

Zhang Wentian pondered, responding internally:

"I understand, Senior Di Xin."

"Hmm, good."

The voice of Di Xin’s True Spirit slowly quieted, and beside him, Zhang Fusheng stopped his divination.

Strange, he couldn’t calculate it.

Something was protecting this little fellow’s cause and effect...

He pondered and then understood a bit.

With his current abilities, he couldn’t see the specific cause and effect. This protective entity is probably at the Supreme level...

But at the Supreme level, there are only a dozen or so Supreme Treasures!

The Capital, Netherworld...

A faint smile appeared on Zhang Fusheng’s face.

So, is it the Map of Mountains and Rivers?

Is this little fellow that black-robed person from back then?

Indeed.

Like finding something without effort after searching high and low...

As his thoughts turned,

several clans broke through the Nine Netherworld Pass, all without exception, were the ten esteemed lineages of the previous generation!

Some, like the Kong and Meng clans, had Great Divine Power Users from their clan — Kong Shentong and Meng Qingtian, who traversed a hundred cycles of reincarnation, bringing their people into the Nine Nether Stronghold,

or like the Xuanyuan and Li families, calling upon a wisp of ancient ancestral spirit and, borrowing a hundred reincarnations, shaped the True Spirit of ancient ancestors to enter the Nine Nether Stronghold!

Especially when the residual spirit of the Xuanyuan clan’s ancient ancestor manifested,

Zhang Fusheng could clearly sense that many dormant Daluo True Spirits seemed shocked.

The Xuanyuan ancient ancestor... naturally, the Human Sovereign among the Three Sovereigns — [Yellow Emperor].

"This is probably also a method of the Sun Monkey."

Zhang Fusheng murmured in his heart, pondering as he watched nine out of ten of the esteemed clans enter the Nine Nether Stronghold, and saw some Great Divine Power User families also successfully breach the pass,

what had the monkey left for him?

"Brother Daosheng." Zhang Wentian smiled: "Should you and I also try this hundred cycles of reincarnation? I’ll go first. If I pass, I can take you into this Nine Nether Stronghold."

"Oh?"

Zhang Fusheng looked surprised:

"Brother Wenti seems... very confident?"

"Of course."

Zhang Wentian laughed and said:

"Although the Qingcheng Zhang family has no great reputation, to be honest, Brother Daosheng, our clan’s ancient ancestor was a significant figure, only our family has gradually declined over the years."

After a pause, he lowered his voice:

"According to legend, my clan’s ancient ancestor was once revered as the ’Ancestor Celestial Master’ in the old world era!"

Zhang Fusheng froze, a look of astonishment flashing in his eyes.

Ancestor Celestial Master... Zhang Daoling?

Student of Tai Shang Laojun?

His gaze suddenly turned sharp, no, not necessarily a student of Tai Shang Laojun, it might also be a student of the [Celestial Lord of Tao and Virtue]!

Though not as esteemed as a true disciple, [Grandmaster Xundu], he was also one of the Celestial Court’s Four Great Celestial Masters, an Ancestor Celestial Master!

Interesting.

Is it the monkey’s contingency, or the Laojun’s contingency?

Or perhaps... the method of [Taiqing]?

Zhang Fusheng’s thoughts whirled rapidly, but his face was full of joyous expression, just about to respond.

"Please, our clan’s ancient ancestor!"

From afar, a resonant voice was heard, Zhang Fusheng instinctively looked, it was the Zhang family of the ten esteemed families, standing before the Pool of Reincarnation.

The ancient ancestor of the Zhang family of the ten esteemed families...

Zhang Fusheng’s expression suddenly turned solemn.
