Chapter 147: Chapter 126: High Heaven Opens Again, the Celestial Venerate Awakens!

In the blink of an eye, more than half a month passed.

During these past two weeks, Zhang Fusheng basically stayed indoors,

occasionally stepping out only to meet Liu Yuan and discuss matters related to the Public Security Headquarters.

August 4th.

“Chongyang has been acting strange lately, as if many cultists have flooded in.”

Liu Yuan described over the phone:

“By the way, there’s some news from your master, it seems… not very good?”

Zhang Fusheng responded with a simple ’Hmm’:

“I haven’t met with the old man yet.”

Liu Yuan replied with an ’Hmm’, continuing:

“In a few days, I plan to initiate a cleansing operation targeting Wang Tianlong… Would you like to join? You need to lead and show your face, so there’ll be an opportunity when dealing with He Gaozhuo later.”

“So suddenly?” Zhang Fusheng was a bit surprised: “Won’t it be too rushed?”

“No, mainly it’s because news has come that the newly appointed eighth legislator is coming to Chongyang City, and the former Golden Legislator, Old Hu, is also coming.”

Liu Yuan said in a serious tone:

“I feel that would be a good opportunity.”

Zhang Fusheng thoughtfully nodded:

“Notify me before the action, Director Liu.”

“No problem. Oh, and one more thing, I’ve collected the Star Beast meat you wanted.”

Liu Yuan shifted the topic:

“Five pounds of One-Horned Giant Rhinoceros meat and one pound of White-striped Tiger Meat, which is also a Level 1 Star Beast… Additionally, a portion of Wood-Attribute Medicine has been collected and will be delivered to you soon.”

“Thank you, Director Liu.”

“No need for all that!”

The phone hung up.

“It’s finally here…”

Zhang Fusheng slowly breathed out, and soon received the delivered Star Beast meat and Wood-Attribute Medicine.

He was aware that Zhou Muniu and Hu Zhongli were visiting Chongyang.

In fact, Old Hu was coming to meet him, the ’new member’ of the High Heaven Association.

As for Zhou Muniu…

He was coming to deliver that portion of Marvelous Medicine.

With the Qi and Blood Marvelous Medicine in hand, uncovering the third great secret of the spleen was practically guaranteed, and naturally, he could start working on the second viscera as well.

“I really need to secure this Deputy Director position.”

Zhang Fusheng muttered to himself, as long as he had enough Great Medicine, he could use the Contract to trade for cultivation time,

allowing him to quickly reach the peak of the Martial Arts Master level!

Once he steps into the Grandmaster level, achieving Spiritual Perfection, he will immediately attain the rank of Grandmaster!

Calculating the time.

Black Eye will soon arrive in Chongyang.

Zhang Fusheng dialed Lin Dongxi:

“Arrange for a meeting with the master tonight, and don’t mention me or Second Senior Sister before the meeting, to prevent the master from acting unusually and being discovered by Eldest Senior Brother.”

The call ended.

His father went to the gambling den, his mother went to work at school, leaving the house empty.

Zhang Fusheng pulled over a blank sheet and began writing and drawing.

“Hu Zhongli’s visit is an opportunity.”

He spoke to himself, there were temporarily no suitable new members in High Heaven, but it’s time for the High Heaven Association to take root and grow.

With Old Hu, a former Golden Legislator, around,

he would soon be able to gather a large group of members in Chongyang City, forming a sufficiently stable and large interest group!

“The Master is too mysterious, the information is scarce, but Eldest Senior Brother…”

Zhang Fusheng had a clear strategy—to not make a move unless it was to eradicate completely.

The lineage of Eldest Senior Brother must be utterly obliterated.

Zhang Fusheng wrote one name after another on paper, all members of the power hierarchy in Chongyang City,

from the Governance Building, then the Military Department, and Investigation Branch…

Especially the Investigation Branch.

The Golden Province’s tri-power balance: the Governor, Golden Legislator, Investigation Bureau.

The Governor is unreachable, a legislator already secured, and he must tackle the Investigation Bureau too.

“When the High Heaven Association develops into a giant entity and starts nurturing me in return.”

Zhang Fusheng’s eyes shone brightly.

Divine Spirit…

seemed not so distant after all.

He dropped the pen and shook lightly, turning the paper full of writing into powder.

Setting aside large amounts of Star Beast meat and that portion of Wood-Attribute Medicine,

Zhang Fusheng shifted his thoughts and re-entered an underworld-like hell.

He walked into the Five Mansions Temple, habitually looking at the Tao Scripture flipped to the last page.

Two lines were written on the paper.

[You’re in Chongyang]

[My follower is coming to find you]

Zhang Fusheng clenched his fist.

“You still have followers… indeed.”

An anger unexpressed for a long time suddenly surged within him, his eyes turned crimson, but they soon returned to calmness.

“I just want to quietly develop for a while.”

Zhang Fusheng contemplated, first thinking of ’Miss Ming Yue.’

He opened and closed his palm.

Miss Ming Yue seemed to have some unique methods, enabling Niu Dali to leverage the Taotie bloodline, using the talent of Devouring All,

to follow the descending will of the God of Plague, truly[Devouring God], causing the God of Plague to fall from the divine position.

Then.

Could the Ancestor of Land Immortals work? If his guess was correct, Ming Yue truly was that Ming Yue…

“How could you sit idly by while an Outer Path Deity occupies the Celestial Position of Zhen Yuanzi?”

Zhang Fusheng stroked the Tao Scripture that cannot be flipped, a bold idea emerged in his mind.

If…

If Miss Ming Yue indeed wanted to overthrow the God of Plague and take the divine position herself.

Then, letting her occupy the Position of Zhen Yuanzi, which is the With the World and Ancestor of Earth Immortals position, she would naturally be more than willing!

“Breaking the Innate Realm requires guidance from a Different Dimension Deity.”

“Since the Stabilizing Needle Iron can guide the true form of a Other-Dimension Deity to descend, it can naturally also send people to Different Dimension.”

“Ming Yue…”

Zhang Fusheng suppressed various thoughts and that extremely bold idea.

“No, no, no, now is not the time to pull Ming Yue into High Heaven.”

“I don’t have the assurance to subdue or intimidate her.”

“It’s easy to suffer backlash.”

“Wait a bit longer, wait a bit longer…”

He gnawed on One-Horned Giant Rhinoceros meat, as the Contract cooled down, all the mysterious substances and vast vitality in the One-Horned Giant Rhinoceros meat,

were also perfectly absorbed by Zhang Fusheng—the ability of Devouring All.

The Contract extended into the Heaven and Earth Golden Bridge, he entered Eight Sceneries Palace, slowly sitting on the meditation mat.

“Ye all, should gather at High Heaven.”

The Celestial Venerate softly knocked the void.

……

At this moment.

Liu Yuan lit a cigarette, slowly exhaling the smoke ring.

The old butler asked:

“Sir, will you truly support Mr. Zhang in becoming Deputy Director?”

“Depends on his performance.”

Liu Yuan casually said:

“Behind this person is Hong Tianbao, I’ve heard that Hong Tianbao’s state doesn’t seem too well… But he can be used as a shield for me.”

He said calmly:

“My conflict with He Gaozhuo is getting intense, I need someone to alleviate the pressure — it won’t be long before I can secure the position of Grandmaster!”

The old butler’s face lit up with surprise:

“Grandmaster… Our Director Chongyang’s position has been vacant for more than three months.”

“Indeed.”

Liu Yuan smiled:

“If I’m the Grandmaster, then that position of Director is mine.”

“It’s like being offered a pillow just as I’m falling asleep.”

He strategized:

“Even if Zhang Fusheng and the Hong Tianbao backing him react to my move — given Hong Tianbao’s current plight, what can he do?”

“It’s said that Hong Tianbao has fallen from the Grandmaster level.”

The old butler nodded, seeming both understand and not quite understand.

……

Jiangzhou.

Thick veins, broader than an arm, pierced Chen Nuanyu’s body.

The veins pulsated, delivering a vast amount of divine material into her.

The entire city, and the whole ’Jiangzhou Bubble’, was enveloped in crimson, as enormous veins stretched toward the sky, converging into a single point.

That point, was a gradually developing flesh embryo, already possessing limbs and a head, towering over a hundred feet but still growing.

[God of Plague].

The [God of Plague] was draining all life force within the Jiangzhou Bubble through those veins.

“You…”

Several veins lifted the girl up, and the faint will of the deity within the flesh embryo descended, filled with curiosity.

It spoke lightly, its voice echoing across thousands of miles of crimson land.

“Your body is so perfect, what exactly stayed inside your body before?”

The deity couldn’t help but marvel at the little thing pulled out from beneath Jiangzhou City — simply a body close to the Tao!

As if refined by something of exceedingly high stature for a long time…

“I will forge a divine body of flesh and blood for you ahead of time; you shall be my messenger.”

A vast amount of divine material was pumped into the girl’s body,

Chen Nuanyu’s jade-like skin began to emit a blood-red radiance, while in her eyes,

The divine lights in her eyes grew brighter after years of refinement under the Six Ding Divine Fire were released!

“The little fellow in the Golden Province considers my true self a thief…”

“You shall be my envoy, ascend high in the Western Sect, lead millions to worship my true self!”

“And…”

Blood mist transformed into a human silhouette in the air.

Chen Nuanyu turned her head with difficulty to look.

It was…

Zhang Fusheng?

The great deity’s manifestation issued a celestial sound, its voice layer upon layer, as if hundreds of thousands spoke at once — indeed, hundreds of thousands were speaking at once.

This divine body,

evidently made of several million Jiangzhou City citizens…

On the huge flesh embryo, Chen Nuanyu saw faces surface and vanish,

In fleeting moments, she even recognized a few familiar faces.

The deity said:

“Find him…”

“He has anchored his longevity on the everlasting mountains and anchored himself at the Five Mansions Temple…”

“Find him, seize him, bring him before my true self!”

The god’s voice resonated across the land for thousands of miles, shaking the cracked earth slightly.

“Go, go…”

Four blood veins thicker than arms were withdrawn from Chen Nuanyu’s chest and abdomen, leaving terrifying holes,

But the holes healed in an instant.

The god gently blew a breath.

Chen Nuanyu floated with the wind, broke through the celestial vault, and crashed into the waiting zone.

She gasped, trembling as she rose to her feet, staring at her own hands, attempting to stomp lightly.

The ground split into a vast ravine stretching hundreds of feet!

“This is… my power?”

Chen Nuanyu murmured in confusion, was it because of the divine material infused into her body?

Or was a certain trait within her activated?

As the god said, a trait refined for over ten years by something unknown?

She did not know.

All she knew was that a spiritual imprint of the god firmly rooted in her soul!

Unable to escape, unable to be free, destined to be a [Divine Servant] for eternity!

Unless…

’Knock!’

A soft tap was heard beside her ear.

It was the Celestial Venerate calling.

Chen Nuanyu gasped deeply, a look of ecstasy floating in her eyes.

“Yes…”

“I have the Celestial Venerate.”

She received the Celestial Venerate’s decree, and a wisp of consciousness thrust into the infinite heights,

Rising higher, rising higher, rising higher!

Before her appeared the Heaven and Earth Golden Bridge,

It was eight tiers of chaotic great scenery, rows of white jade steps, four blurry figures standing at the gate of the Taoist Palace…

The four figures turned simultaneously to look at her.

“One seat.”

They spoke thus.

Chen Nuanyu did not respond, trembling she knelt before the Taoist Palace gate,

Just then, the door made of chaotic mist slowly opened, chaotic Qi rolled in waves, retreating to the sides.

The same silent grandeur as ever, the indistinct figure seated on the meditation mat beyond expression and words.

The four figures looked at the one seat, stepped forward, bowing and entered the solemn Taoist Palace.

“Please!”

The one seat called out loudly:

“I beg! Celestial Venerate, save me!”

The four figures were astonished, what did the one seat encounter, what change occurred?

They followed closely and entered the Taoist Palace,

The chaotic mist churned, amidst storied depths and darkness.

The Celestial Venerate seated on the meditation mat slowly raised its head, the Taoist Palace beyond the limits of conception sealed shut with a grand boom.

Here lay a sanctuary impervious even to deities.

“Compassion.”

A light sigh from the Great Celestial Venerate, Tao sounds reverberated, celestial flowers cascading, golden springs rising, auspicious signs and clouds of celebration accompanying these words, eternal and unending.

It seemed as though faint sounds of gongs from golden boys, songs from jade maidens echoed in a blur, distant and indistinct.

The attendant standing before the Celestial Venerate raised its eyelids, praising — “Infinite Celestial Venerate!”

Bowingly with the other four figures, they also exclaimed in unison:

“Infinite Celestial Venerate!”

The Celestial Venerate opened its eyes.

Chaotic Qi flowed quietly by its side.

Its grand gaze fell upon the bowing young girl.

It saw the trembling spiritual imprint of the deity.
