Secret Buyer
Chapter 529 - 339: Fuli Dharma Body, Suppressing the Dao Lord with a Single Hand!
With a crisp clatter, the wooden block fell to the ground, and the supernatural beings in the Tai Sui Pavilion exchanged glances.
Central Pole... Sect Leader?
What is that?
The supernatural beings were confused, feeling that this title seemed somewhat familiar, as if from a distant, untraceable old world,
but among the countless old worlds, none could recall it clearly, nor remember what the Central Pole Sect Leader was.
Yet upon hearing this title, their hearts couldn’t help but tremble slightly.
The Tai Sui Pavilion fell into a dead silence,
The huddled elder of the Cui Family dared not breathe even a big breath, while Zhuge Yuyi and Sima Shi were both tense, pondering over these four words [Central Pole Sect Leader].
As for the storytelling Lord Tai Sui.
Sweat dripped from his forehead, drop by drop.
"Interesting."
Zhang Fusheng spoke lightly:
"Didn’t the Lord say that he doesn’t remember anything from the old world?"
"How come, yet he knows of me, the Central Pole Sect Leader?"
He was cloaked in mysterious robes and wore a bronze mask, pacing forward as he scrutinized the sweaty Lord Tai Sui with a smile:
"So, where is this Lord Tai Sui you speak of?"
In the midst of dead silence, the wooden doors of the Tai Sui Pavilion suddenly shut, the shop attendant responsible for welcoming guests hunched in the corner,
while the shopkeeper, whose presence rivaled that of a pseudo-Venerate, quietly made his way upstairs.
Zhang Fusheng did not mind these small actions, only calmly examining the so-called Lord Tai Sui.
He glanced at the Cui Family elder, whose face was full of pale terror, clearly unaware that this so-called prominent figure of the gray realm,
was shockingly one of the Netherworld... It seemed the Cui elder was forcibly brought here after meeting Lord Tai Sui.
As for this Lord Tai Sui?
His appearance looked completely ordinary, unlike the supernatural beings nearby clad in red wedding dresses and drenched in murky water,
A goatee, gray robe, complete with eyes, nose, and mouth, exactly like an ancient storyteller,
If there was anything different, it was his aura.
After mastering [Star Shifting], Zhang Fusheng was already extremely sensitive to the Circulation of celestial bodies. At this moment, he discerned that this storyteller carried a considerable amount of star aura.
Stars, Tai Sui...
Could it be one of the sixty Tai Sui deities of the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches?
If so, is that Lord Tai Sui the Yearly Tai Sui Star Monarch ruling over the sixty Tai Sui deities?
As thoughts turned,
Lord Tai Sui finally could not withstand Zhang Fusheng’s gaze, involuntarily retreating a step, stepping just behind the back of the Cui Family elder.
His breath was quick, voice dry:
"You, sir, seem to understand past and present, but some names hold great taboo and prohibition, such offense might bring disaster!"
Lord Tai Sui spoke with much more courtesy, regardless of who the person before him was, since he could know of Luofeng and the Central Pole Sect Leader,
there’s no way he could be simple!
Moreover, daring to use such titles?
Either a newborn calf not fearing the tiger or a truly skilled, daring person!
Lord Tai Sui thinks it’s the latter.
As for possibly actually being the Central Pole Sect Leader... Impossible!
Taking a deep breath,
Lord Tai Sui bent down to pick up the Jining Tome from the ground, once again fixing his gaze on the mysterious person in mystical robes and bronze mask,
In a deep voice he said:
"I won’t continue to inquire who you are, since you understand past and present, it seems you are one of our kind."
"Perhaps, someone who walked out of the Netherworld back then?"
Hearing Tai Sui’s words, Zhang Fusheng raised an eyebrow, of the same kind? Walked out of the Netherworld?
He looked around, observing the supernatural beings whose presence bore the weight of ages, likely remnants from the old world, his mind began to ponder.
This Netherworld, seems even more extraordinary than imagined.
Could it be...
The Netherworld preserved some beings from the old world?
This thought flashed through his mind, Zhang Fusheng’s pupils constricted slightly, he immediately asked:
"You call yourself Lord Tai Sui, with a Lord Tai Sui above you."
"Then I ask you, which one of the sixty Tai Sui are you?"
With these words,
Others in the Tai Sui Pavilion, other supernatural beings remained bewildered, still not understanding, yet Lord Tai Sui’s expression changed again, he retreated several steps.
He stared intently at the figure in mysterious robes and bronze mask, after a long silence, he spoke dryly:
"The Tai Sui of Jiazi!"
Zhang Fusheng thought, indeed, then smiled:
"Tai Sui of Jiazi, the year is Jiazi, the foremost of the sixty Tai Sui deities... Lead the way, take us to see that Lord Tai Sui."
The sixty Tai Sui deities, in the chronological system of Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, are used to mark the years, with a cycle of sixty years,
The sixty Tai Sui deities rotate corresponding to their respective year, for example, the Tai Sui of Jiazi corresponds to the Jiazi year.
The Jiazi year is quite famous—Zhang Jue, the leader of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, initiated it in a Jiazi year,
Hence came the saying ’In the year of Jiazi, all under heaven rejoice’.
After another long silence.
The Tai Sui of Jiazi took a deep breath, gestured with his hand, inviting:
"Would you please follow me then..."
Pausing for a moment, he instructed the supernatural beings alongside him:
"Do not harm this living person, give him the list he wants, and let him go."
The supernatural beings nodded respectfully.
.........
On the Floating Island.
"Why hasn’t that girl finished the ritual yet?"
At the Origin Research Institute, the old dean caressed a dark green wooden staff, looking at the pitch-black entity suppressed beneath layers of grand formations in the heart of the institute.
Beside him, an old woman furrowed her brow and said:
"That little bird, her talent is exceptional, you just left her alone with that Yin Chang’an?"
The old man gave a bitter smile:
"I had no choice, but I let her perform the grand ritual, gave her the ritual plate, which can summon that terrifying existence over..."
