Secret Buyer

Chapter 559 - 345: Daluo Bows in Respect, Now I Am Released from Prison_3

The Central Celestial Emperor then continued:

"The reason I am here is to personally persuade you to reunite with your past self from Xuandu. In this way, Taiqing’s grand scheme will be thwarted—this is also why I made the costly effort to project here."

"Impossible!"

The ancient being emitted a deep sound, its gaze blazing like a fierce fire, glaring:

"I have waited eons, plotted eons, and finally succeeded in severing my past self. From then on, I am no longer a disciple of Taiqing... and you want me to turn back?"

"You want my myriad ancient plans to go up in smoke in a single day?"

It fixed its eyes on the upstream being:

"Even if you are the true Celestial Emperor, it is absolutely impossible."

The Celestial Emperor’s expression remained unchanged, merely gazing at the ancient being and shaking his head slightly:

"A heart demon has formed within you... have you thought about where this heart demon comes from?"

The ancient being rattled its chains, its mouth spewing forth vast rolling thunderous sound, leaving Zhang Fusheng dizzy and disoriented:

"Heart demon? This is my determination, how is it a heart demon?"

Under the roar of the thunderous sound, the river of time and the virtual semblance of the upstream being were violently distorted, nearly dissipated by the shout!

Zhang Fusheng was again backfired upon, his Fuli Daoist Body nearly torn apart, the thirty-six-colored light behind him in turmoil,

Even the Primordial Cloud was almost dissolved!

"A mere projection!"

The ancient being pointed at the upstream being, then extended its hand towards Zhang Fusheng:

"A mere trace body!"

It mysteriously discerned the reality and illusion of this Fuli Daoist Body, saw through [Flying Body Projection], then the thunderous sound surged like a tide:

"The true form is not here, yet you speak to deceive; it is you who are the heart demon!"

"Come down for me!!!"

With a shout, Zhang Fusheng felt an irresistible tug,

His essence self, anchored in reality beyond through the [Flying Body Projection], was thus forcibly dragged down!!

Even the ’defense mechanism’ that activated autonomously under the [Haotian Mirror] earlier had no time to function, the projection of the Fuli Daoist Body had not yet autonomously dissipated,

And the essence self had been forcibly dragged back to reality!!

The ancient being is a Daluo, moreover, it is a presence with half a foot in the [Supreme Fruit Position].

It is not as powerful as the prime Northern Emperor, yet in a certain sense, it is closer to the level of the Supreme!

So it is, in this moment, now.

The Flying Body Projection, only a Minor Achievement, could not withstand the mighty power of a Daluo——

Even if this Daluo is wrapped in chains, trapped in a prison with heavy restrictions.

The Fuli Daoist Body swayed, the essence self fell into this body.

The ancient being’s expression was indifferent:

"Heart demon... now speak of it."

"Where is my heart demon?"

The majestic voice echoed in this void space harboring the Six Paths of Reincarnation,

Zhang Fusheng sighed, rubbed his brow, then sat cross-legged in the void, placing both hands on his knees,

He was neither startled nor perturbed, appearing solemn and dignified, as if reciting a lotus song:

"Ignorant, ignorant, ignorant!"

The three words of ignorance were uttered through the [Tathagata Celestial Position], like a blow to the head, resounding deeply and shockingly.

The profound anger rising on the ancient being’s face quietly dissipated by three parts.

It was at this time.

Zhang Fusheng gazed at the ancient being and solemnly spoke:

"The heart demon is external force, my determination is my true heart."

"Whether it is a heart demon or determination, why not break through them and see?"

While speaking, he extended his hand, sketching light and shadow, weaving them into a towering great Contract:

"Heart demon or determination, it does not matter."

"Entrust yourself to me and observe the fundamental heart for yourself, clearer than ever, is it not?"

The ancient being froze momentarily, a look of astonishment and doubt flashing across its face, staring at the great phantom Contract woven from light and shadow,

There were words on the Contract, whose meaning was to use three coins of silver to exchange away the [Heart Demon].

"If it is [Determination] and not a heart demon, this Contract will naturally become null and void, having no effect."

The Fuli Great True Man calmly said:

"Since my friend is so certain, why not try it?"

The ancient being stared at the phantom great Contract, not knowing what it was, nor its origin,

But it could vaguely sense that if it nodded, the words on the Contract could truly take effect.

After a long silence.

The ancient being gave a low hum:

"Then try it."

As its words fell, a smile appeared on Zhang Fusheng’s face, crafting something from the void, he cast down three coins of fragmented silver, and it was at this moment.

The phantom great Contract made of light and shadow rippled, vaguely a vast sound stirred, transmitting.

"The Contract is formed."

Thus.

The three coins of fragmented silver, returned to the palm of the ancient being, while the [Heart Demon] that tormented it for endless years,

The heart demon personally planted by the [Supreme One], capable of contaminating even a Daluo,

Was forcefully peeled away in such a manner, merged into the void, merged into the Contract.

The frenzy on the ancient being’s face suddenly dissipated.

The half-length body not covered by a robe, its grievous wounds also mended, disappeared, dissipated.

It suddenly became pure, its demeanor peaceful, the great locks no longer quaking,

In the stillness,

The ancient being sat cross-legged, with Daoist sounds echoing, eyes slightly downcast, silent.

"Is this?"

Zhang Fusheng examined the Contract, capable of deluding, polluting the heart demon of Daluo, while looking at the ancient being and asking confusedly.

The projected upstream being softly spoke:

"Once the heart demon is gone, one attains purity."

"It has been countless years since it last achieved such tranquility, now, it suddenly loosened, directly entering great ease."

"In other words..."

"It is attaining enlightenment."

Zhang Fusheng blinked, enlightenment??

"Indeed, this is superior fortune." He said with a smile.

The upstream being smiled:

"This fellow was once one of the progenitors of the Human Race, named Xuandu, after entering Taiching’s sect, heart demons sprouted, severed but not eliminated."

"Yet it thought to use the [One Qi Becomes Three Pristine Ones] technique, severing its past, the past self remaining as Xuandu, still a disciple of Taiqing."

"Its current self thus called itself Xuanqing, likening the Three Pristine Ones to fellow Daoists, viewing former friends as juniors...."
