Secret Buyer

Chapter 543 - 341: The Central Pole Sect Leader’s Remains? Why Didn’t I Know?

The clan elder wiped his sweat and called out to everyone:

"Just moments ago, the Meng family, one of the top ten in the past millennium, issued a notice. This competition will not be held in the Celestial Capital."

Cui Liuduo suppressed his anger and frowned as he asked:

"Not in the Celestial Capital? Then where is it?"

The clan elder’s face showed a bitter smile:

"In the mysterious Netherworld that I mentioned... though it doesn’t seem as dangerous as the rumors say."

"Netherworld?"

Cui Liuduo raised an eyebrow:

"Have you been there?"

The clan elder hesitated, then nodded:

"I have been. Lord Taishui is in the Netherworld... that aside."

He shifted the topic and continued:

"Although the location for the competition is set, the exact date is not. It’s said to be soon."

After a pause,

The clan elder seemed to remember something and continued:

"However, during the waiting period before the competition starts, the families participating are allowed to visit the Floating Island, but only during the day."

Zhang Fusheng turned his head, and Cui Liuduo also became interested:

"The Floating Island above eight thousand zhang of mountains?"

"Yes."

The clan elder nodded affirmatively:

"My suggestion is that we all visit it tomorrow during the day, especially if our Cui family really succeeds and becomes one of the top ten."

"According to the rules, we would also build a residence on the Floating Island."

Cui Wenda was a bit confused, not quite understanding the significance of the Floating Island or what it meant to build a residence there.

Beside him, Cui Wending became excited, his eyes sparkling:

"The Floating Island, indeed..."

He licked his lips and spoke excitedly:

"It’s the most important place in the Federation. I’ve heard that the legendary Six Paths Prison, which governs the souls of all deceased, is also on the Floating Island!"

The clan elder smiled and nodded, then suddenly looked cautiously at Zhang Fusheng and coughed:

"Daoist Venerable, will you go?"

Zhang Fusheng raised an eyebrow. He had planned to meet ’Li Xiuyuan,’ who was preparing to set off on a journey, and to send his thoughts to the depths of the starry sky to see the Douluo Palace.

However, the Floating Island, the most important place in the Federation, where the Six Paths Prison is located, is also worth visiting.

After all, it’s just a day — in the evening, he could visit the real Eight Sceneries Palace!

Gathering his thoughts, Zhang Fusheng nodded calmly:

"Of course, I can go. But by the way, I’ve heard that the Origin Point Research Institute is also on the Floating Island?"

"Yes."

The clan elder nodded affirmatively, thought for a moment, and added:

"By the way, all clans are allowed to visit the Research Institute and the Nine Departments, so if everyone is willing, we can even visit the Research Institute tomorrow."

Zhang Fusheng squinted his eyes; the Research Institute, the Nine Departments...

At this moment, he could clearly sense that the High Heaven Order he had given to Meng Xiaoshi was on the Floating Island.

At that time, he had encountered Meng Xiaoshi — the niece of Kong Shentong, part of one of the Nine Departments, the Investigation Bureau, in the Chongyang Heaven and Earth.

She said she had seen something similar to the Human Emperor’s Seal in the hands of the seventh department head of the Investigation Bureau,

So Zhang Fusheng gave her a High Heaven Order to bring it to the Capital.

Now, it could serve its purpose — his true form entering the Capital, no longer isolated by the array,

Can naturally communicate with that token and harness its power to project his will!

Taking something similar to the Human Emperor’s Seal wouldn’t be too difficult.

Zhang Fusheng’s mind spun with endless thoughts as he listened to the discussions about the Floating Island and the Research Institute, letting out a soft sigh.

The Research Institute would be worth a visit.

If he remembered correctly...

Zhang Xiaoxi seemed to have gone to the Research Institute?

While his mind wandered,

The clan elder concluded:

"Since there are no objections, tomorrow we will go to the Floating Island, and maybe even visit the Research Institute!"

"As for now... everyone rest!"

.........

The night passed without incident.

The next day, morning.

After boarding the hovercar booked in advance, the group headed towards the Floating Island, high above eight thousand zhang.

Passing through multiple checkpoints and inspections, they finally arrived at the Floating Island near noon.

"Quite a few have come to the Floating Island."

As they got off the hovercar, the clan elder gestured towards the numerous hovercars slowly descending in the distance,

Zhang Fusheng took a casual glance and saw Zhuge Yuyi and Sima Shi.

They, too, had emerged from the Netherworld, from the Peaceful Taoist Temple.

Except....

Zhang Fusheng raised an eyebrow, clearly sensing a subtle change in the aura of both individuals,

Yet he couldn’t pinpoint the specifics.

Beside him, the clan elder spoke up:

"By the way, it seems we won’t be able to visit the Research Institute today."

Cui Liuduo asked in surprise:

"Why? Has something happened?"

"No, nothing like that."

The clan elder replied offhandedly:

"I’ve heard that the Research Institute is holding a grand ceremony today, consulting the Supreme Saint Celestial Position for answers... so it’s temporarily closed."

Hmm?

Zhang Fusheng’s heart skipped a beat, a grand ceremony?

Consulting the Supreme Saint Celestial Position?

His mind raced with thoughts, suddenly forming an idea.

With his current mastery over cause and effect, interfering with a nearby grand ceremony would be effortless.

Perhaps...

He could inquire on behalf of the Research Institute?

Or answer on behalf of the Supreme Saint Celestial Position?

A gleam of understanding flashed in Zhang Fusheng’s eyes as he looked up at the Celestial Vault.

Today, he would reveal his divine presence.
